Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk in Hogwarts, contemplating a little piece of news that his faithful servant, Severus Snape, had brought him.
Harry Potter was coming to Hogwarts.
Dumbledore felt he should've realized this sooner, but he hadn't, and now his plans have been slightly modified.
He had to find a way to either quickly kill the boy, or kill Voldemort.
The chances of Voldemort breaking free of his spell, and potter realizing what was going on, and the two of them teaming up could have disastrous consequences for Dumbledore.
He would have to eliminate Voldemort, and Potter.
He would manipulate both sides into the final duel between Voldemort and Potter. Then, with any luck, they would both kill each other, leaving no survivor.
Dumbledore desperately wanted potter dead because of the prophecy. It had said "the dark Lord" instead of "Voldemort".
Dumbledore, after all, was the true dark Lord.
So if he were to prevent the prophecy, then he could rule the Wizarding world with an iron fist, with ultimate power, and have Voldemort and Potter dead.
Dumbledore's mind wandered back to when this all started.
He had gone to kidnap the five year old Tom Riddle from his father.
Tom's mother was one of Dumbledore's agents, and he had killed her for displeasing him.
Riddle have been brought to an orphanage with the most abusive leader.
However, it didn't make him hate Muggles. Because when Dumbledore came to get Tom when he was 11, he was as charming and happy as ever.
When the boy went to Hogwarts, he was placed into Slytherin.
Tom grew older, and became a very prominently light wizard.
Dumbledore could not allow this.
When Tom was 16, Dumbledore marched straight up to his dormitory, made sure all the other boys were asleep, and place the imperious curse on Tom.
Tom was now under his control.
He had Tom split his soul and conceal it within certain objects.
So that meant if Tom's body were to be killed, he would still be bound to this world.
Each Horcrux was under Dumbledore's control.
He had recruited a nice little army that could act as Tom's followers.
He called them the death eaters.
Only Severus, Dumbledore's right hand man, knew the truth about who is really behind this.
When Severus had found out by accident, Dumbledore had tortured him, until he begged for death, and then Dumbledore had told him that it would be 10 times worse if he ever told anyone.
Usually, he would just kill them. But Snape had so much promise.
Dumbledore had used Voldemort to end the life of Harry Potter when he heard about the prophecy.
He quickly killed James and Lily Potter, but when he went to try and kill the young boy, his body broke.
Tom was nothing more than a spirit. Luckily, he was still under Dumbledore's control.
Dumbledore had him inhabit the body of a man who he also placed under his spell, and he was going to have him kill Potter again that year.
He made sure that the relatives he placed potter with or abusive to the boy. If his plan of killing him failed, he wanted his contingency plan to make Potter the next dark Lord like Voldemort.
There was a knock on his door that snapped Dumbledore out of his thoughts.
"Enter, Severus." He said.
The door opened and Severus Snape walked in.
He got on his knees and bowed to Dumbledore.
"My Lord."Said Snape.
"Yes. Potter will be attending Hogwarts this year. I want you to make things as difficult for him as you can."
"I will gladly do so, my Lord. I would have wanted to kill James Potter myself."
Dumbledore smiled an evil smile. "Good."
With that taken care of, Severus Snape left the office.
What Dumbledore didn't realize was that Snape had his own plants.
He went to his friend, Robert Morris, who appeared to be an ordinary wizard mind healer.
He knocked on the door to Roberts house.
Robert open the door.
"Come in." Robert said, smiling.
Severus walked in and took a seat at the table.
Roberts job as a mind healer was just a cover. So was Severus his job as the Hogwarts potions master.
In reality, the two of them were part of an inter-dimensional organization called the reality keepers.
Whenever time was reversed, all the reality keepers in that dimension would remember everything from the previous future.
Severus shuttered at the thought of Voldemort snake killing him like that.
He hoped that Tom would be free.
"Everything is going to plan so far." Severus said. "I agree with your decision to give Potter the time turner. If you hadn't, we all know that Dumbledore's second plan would have gone into place. We need to make sure to remove that spell before Potter's 19th birthday."
"Yes." Robert agreed.
This spell had been placed on Potter by Dumbledore when he was a baby.
This meant that on Harry's 19th birthday, if Dumbledore was dead, Harry would lose his mind, become evil, and become a new dark lord.
Hopefully, Dumbledore could be defeated, Tom could be saved, and spell could be lifted.
"Have you spoken to Lucius?" Asked Severus.
"Yes. He agrees that the way Draco behaved in the previous timeline was quite rude."
"Will anything be different?"
"Yes. Lucius has gone back in time and raised Draco to be a more polite man. That will most likely mean that Draco may become friends with hairy."
"That would be good."
I will see you later." Severus said.
Robert smirked at him. "Try not to cause too much inter-dimensional chaos by the time we next meet."
"Hey!" Severus said indignantly. "That time was a complete accident."
"You may keep telling yourself that." Robert said.
Severus left.
Authors note: please tell me what you think in the reviews.
I hope that answered some of your questions. The doctor had the time turner because he was a reality keeper and the reality keepers have their own time turner in case of emergencies. He sent harry back in time to save Tom Riddle as well as for them to gain more time to lift the dark Lord spell from harry.
