edit, 19-02-'18, fixed punctuation, changed the wording of some lines and fixed mistakes in general.

So, another chapter, I actually had planned this to be finished before I had to go back to school, but really didn't seem to be in the mood for it for the longest of times, so here it is, when I copied it from word, it was 2018 words, which I thought to be perfect for the start of a new year, and as usual, two of those words were meant for the delete button as they were an unremoved mistake, so no perfection once more.

Disclaimer, I don't own Harry Potter or life is strange and I am quite sure I already changed quite a bit of the cannon of both.

for the zero people asking, and me not remembering if I mentioned this or not, but somewhere between 1998 and 2013, someone(cough, Hermione and Luna, cough) found a way for technology to work with magic, of course the general purebloods don't like this, but hey, who listens to them anymore, this new wizarding world is mostly run by half bloods.

enjoy.

The meeting

Harry had been sitting in his room ordening all the info he had gathered since he woke up about 2 hours earlier, it quickly became apparent he had a few gaping holes in the information he had gathered until now, although he knew very well that this should be expected, as he had only been in the town for less then a day, it did however bother him more then it should.

"AARGH! This doesn't make any sense!" He screamed after he found another hole. "There is no connection to be found between Rachel Amber and Kate Marsh, they weren't friends… The only thing they've got in common is the school they go to…" Harry froze midrand.

"How could I not have noticed this before? I'm getting old… It was staring me right in the bloody face… to be precise, the connection stared me straight in the face yesterday afternoon." Harry picked up his phone and bags, fastened his wand back into it's holster on his right wrist, and put his gun holster on his left thigh. And so it is that he moved to his car, stuffed his bags in the back, and got in to eat some breakfast at the two whales diner, it would become a very busy day it seemed.

Half way through his nice breakfast of Bacon and eggs his alarm went off reminding him of the meeting he had set up with Hermione, He would never admit the fact he actually almost choked on his beacon to anyone.

"Right… I knew I had forgotten something…" Harry stood up, yelled to Joyce he would be back in a sec, and collected his Laptop, and quickly booted it up, and called Hermione.

Within 2 rings his call was answered, and he was met by the shocked faces of over 2 dozen of his old compatriots, Andromeda Tonks and Teddy Lupin(who I should note was waving happily to Harry whilst Hermione did her usual greeting to him, also not faced by Harry's unaged face).

"Harry, how are you." She asked him, fully knowing the answer he would give.

"Still no day older, Mione." Harry said smiling to his friend. "Ron's not there I see?"

"Yeah, one out of seven weasleys has to do Har, I ran out of time to call Molly, Arthur and the oldest brothers, the rest was all invited."

"Still more than I expected." He said smiling to all the (still shocked) faces on the other side of the screen. "Thank you all for heeding my call, of course, delivered via Hermione, thank you for that 'Mione." He smiled once more towards her before turning serious. "I called you because it seems like I will be needing your Help, there have been a few events happening since the start of the week, and I got myself involved as usual."

"Like what exactly?" Neville was about to receive his answer when someone knocked on the door of the estate, magically resonating throughout the entirety of said estate.

"Go on, I'll go and check out who it is." Andy said standing up from her seat.

"As I was about to say…" Harry continued, "It all started last Monday, somewhere at the end of the day it started to snow, as all of you probably know, snow needs a few certain conditions, these conditions were nowhere close to right for it to snow that night, this was followed up by an unscheduled Solar Eclipse the following day. And yesterday's morning news announced that dozens of whales had stranded on the beaches of Arcadia, until that moment I was not in Arcadia Bay, But that was the moment I decided I should visit the small coast town."

"Ofcourse, going to a small town you don't even know, is something you would do, but going back to Britain is just not done is it?" Harry heard a voice he remembered from a long time.

"Ron, I have my reasons for not having gone back 'till now. If it makes you feel any better, I'll be in Britain come Christmas, I promised Teddy I would be back."

"And only because you need our help, you decide to call us." Ron was really getting under Harry's skin by now. "You really expect us to come running, wands blazing to help you out? Well, I've got news for you! We don't!"

And with that Ron left the room, no one noticed the moment he was out of hearing range he fell to his knees, eyes wet.

Hermione just looked after him, before turning to the pc. "I'm sorry Harry,"

"His words are fair game Hermione, and I don't see what you should be sorry about, it was about time he started to speak his mind." Hermione was about to interrupt when Harry raised his hand to silence her, "And for those that feel the same, I had good reason not to want to go back, and even more reasons I should have returned, but it is not until yesterday I saw those reasons, and they have only been reinforced today." Harry silenced as he saw Joyce walking up to him, with her usual coffee coffee pot in hand.

"Having an early day I see?" Joyce said filling up Harry's cup of coffee.

"Jup, and thank you Joyce, your coffee is great" Harry said to the woman.

"So, to cut it all short, I have narrowed the possible reasons down to a small few. The first one… this is the most unlikely, but, well, someone fucked with time, and it is trying to reset itself." Harry looked to the faces on the other side. "If this is the case, there is very little we can do to stop whatever it is that is about to happen."

Hermione thought for a bit before speaking her mind. "We'll bring rift notifiers." As she received a lot of questioning glances she continued. "When someone travels through time, they leave a scar, this scar can be analyzed, and using the information we get from the scar, we can find out when this happened, as we have an entire town to search, we will need more then one, and even then, it is very new equipment, and pretty much untested."

"When did you develop those Hermione?" Harry asked his friend.

"Ehm… I found out about the scarring theory about two years ago, and worked on possible ways to find them, and at that point hopefully analyze it."

"You were watching doctor who, weren't you?" Dean asked grinning from his chair in the back.

"… Maybe?" Hermione blushed, as a few muggleborns laughed.

"Well, now for the other theories… a ginormous storm is heading towards the town." At the questioning stares Harry received he decided they would probably need a bit more info on what he based this theory on. "Before hurricanes or tornadoes, generally changes the weather patterns in the regions, and I will be honest, snow on a perfectly reasonable day, I see as a change in weather patterns, this would also explain the stranded whales, as a high amount of energy in the air can disturb their natural compasses."

"Hmm… That makes sense." Luna said looking to the people around her, most of whom were frowning.

"My last theorie, there is a very strong wizard doing some kind of ritual in the area, which could explain the solar eclipse, but I'm actually doubting this theorie, the american ministry would have probably noticed this, but then again, I would believe they would have noticed the change in atmosphere in the area as well, oh, and this area is surprisingly empty of wizards or witches."

After finishing, Harry looked at the time.

"Damn, time flies by… I have to get back in the field guys, I would like to know who of you will come so I can make sure everyone has a room at the local motel, and I'll see what I can do for muggle transport after you arrived."

"I'll call you when we know how many will come, see you around Harry."

"See you guys later then."

And with that the call ended, Harry payed for his meal and wifi access before getting his equipment back in the car.

He looked at himself in the mirror.

"So… to the hospital, or to the school?" Harry wondered.

"Depents my lord, do you want more information, or do you want to question your two suspects?" Deaths voice asked quietly.

"more info it is then. Kate Marsh, I do hope you're awake."

And with that, Harry drove off to the hospital.

At the Black estate

"Can I go gran? Please." Teddy asked pleading.

"Okay! You can come, but I will make sure you don't get into danger."

Teddy immediately cannonballed into his gran's body hugging her like crazy, a continuous stream of 'thank you's' streaming from his mouth.

"We have decided, everyone in the room is going." Ginny said speaking for the group whilst Hermione was making a lot of calls to multiple different people.

10 minutes later she came back to the group, "we all gather back here in two hours, in two and a half we will be leaving by international portkey. make sure you pack for several days, make sure you have your wand. And make sure you're ready for everything and anything."

One by one everybody left to gather their stuff and inform their family's, until it was only Hermione, Andromeda, Teddy, Neville and Luna left.

"Don't you have to pack?" Hermione asked Neville and Luna.

"We both have expanded pockets, pretty much anything you want fit into it, we packed before coming here." Luna explained.

"Don't you have to gather your things?"

"I already packed everything I needed, I also made sure that all the equipment we will be needing will be on the arrival point just outside Arcadia Bay. Harry would get us some cars to transport us and the resources, so that will be all taken care of, and the portkeys will be delivered within an hour and a half."

"When did you do all that?" Neville asked.

"The moment Harry broke up the skype call this morning." Hermione said grinning. "It actually surprised me how few questions everyone had."

"He was clearer then he was the night of the ministry infiltration, so we actually know more about the situation now then we knew then, and we joined you back then, so why wouldn't we now?" Luna asked, actually not knowing the reason.

"Yes it's true that quite a few of the others weren't happy Harry took his leave for so long, but they accepted his reasons, whilst vague, they came from his heart, and most of us could feel that he meant it, and those that didn't were actually easier to convince… that's really not the right word for this…" Neville said shaking his head to clear it at the end. "The point is everyone wants to help him, and for a change, all be part of an adventure, even if it will lead to our death's, Harry is, and always will be our friend and leader, and as Harry never wanted to be a leader, he is the best leader there is."

"Wait, they still see him as a leader?" Hermione said looking at Neville like he was crazy.

"Yes, he once was a symbol of hope, and the way he helped us in our time of need, even when we didn't deserve it, he protected us, he sacrificed everything to protect us, he literally died to give us a chance to live, there is not a better possible leader." Neville's back straightened half way through his speech.

"You better not tell Harry this." Hermione said, before walking to the kitchen to get some tea for the group that was left.

Teddy and Andy went upstairs to pack an expended backpack for at least a week's worth of supplies for the both of them, and Neville and Luna continued to talk in the sitting room.

And so it was the DA gathered behind their old teacher once more.

thank you all for bothering to read this story, I never expected this story to be as popular(for me at least) as it is, I'm really amazed this story is quickly heading to the 2000 views, and it has received 10 reviews, generally very positive I should add, so thank you once more.

As always feedback is welcome.

Deathcrawler: Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed it, it's a bit shorter then I had expected, but it feels kind of natural as it is.
