'The mission starts now' Harry thought as he went into the manor. 'Operation Changing the Past has begun.'
Harry stared at the manor in awe as he went inside. He could imagine how his father had grown up in the manor with his parents. He looked around in wonder, soaking in the architecture and basically everything. Harry was shaken out of his musings on how would it have been if he had been raised by his parents when Charlus called out his name.
"Hm...What?" he asked. "I asked what were you doing there with your cousin all alone" Charlus said. "I'm sorry sir but I never got your name" said Harry. "That... I am sorry. I am Charlus Potter, you can call me Charlus though, that lady over there is my wife Dorea Potter and that little boy is our son James" Charlus introduced everyone, pointing at them as he said their names.
"I think I've heard of my mother telling me about someone named Potter... Never mind that. Nice to meet you all! I am Harry Jack Po- Parker and this is my cousin and godson Teddy Romulus Lupa. We are from America. My mother was Teddy's aunt. My mom and dad died in a car crash about... 8 years back and I was sent to live with my father's friend as my uncle was busy then... then he died in an accident and I was again sent to my uncle." Harry said, thinking about the real events that happened.
"It was quite peaceful there...but then we decided to visit London and there was an attack in a mall. Teddy and I managed to escape but..." Harry trailed off and broke down. The whole time he was telling the story, he kept glancing at his father and grandparents, emotions were flaring up at seeing the people who had died before he got to know about them. He soon stopped crying and gathered himself up before he glanced at the Potter crest that was proudly hanging in the room.
"Hey!" he cried out as another idea came to his mind. "That is the same symbol on my pendant. See!" he said as he gave the pendant to his grandmother. "Who gave it to you?" she asked. "Curious...very curious indeed. It has a crest of the Potter, Black and Peverell houses. Seems like you are related to us kiddo. You are going to stay here alright?" his grandfather said.
"Really!" exclaimed Harry and grinned "Can Teddy and I stay here?" he asked. "Of course Harry. You can stay here." Charlus replied. Harry gave him a ear splitting grin and whopped in joy and accidentally turned his hair colour into various shades.
"Are you a metamorphagus?" James curiously. That made Harry a bit confused and nervous. "You mean that hair changing thing? If it is that... then both of us are metamorphagus. Is that wrong?" Harry asked, as he tried to control the changing colours of his hair.
"It is not wrong son. It is just rare to see someone who is one. But you do have to learn how to control that as it will most openly show your emotions. Also, you might be able to change appearances and it will be difficult to control on how you look if not under control. There are some books in the Potter library. Why don't you check it out later?" Dorea asked.
Harry just stared at them in excitement. "Yes I would gladly read about it!" Harry exclaimed, discreetly making the vase at a distance to crack. "Oops! Sorry. That happens when I am really excited" he muttered.
"Seems like we have another wizard, possibly two in our pockets. I think we need to inform Albus about the two new students. How old are the two of you Harry?" Charlus asked.
"Hmmm... I just turned 11 yesterday while Teddy was born on 1st January so... he's exactly completing 7 months today." Harry said. "Well then. Better write to the headmaster about his new student. James... will you show Harry around?" asked Dorea.
"Sure mum. Come along Harry. I'll show you to your room" James said as he skipped along to the front. Harry was struggling to control his emotions but somehow managed to keep it under control as he followed his young dad around.
After a lot of exclamations and queries, the duo along with Teddy who was crying due to hunger, came down to the dining room to join his parents for dinner. "There you are Harry! We were just about to call you two to come downstairs. I get it that Teddy is hungry. Dimpy!" called out Dorea and there was a pop heard near Harry, who stared at the house elf that had just appeared.
"Yes Lady Potter? What do you want today? Should Dimpy help for anything?" Dimpy the house elf asked. "Nothing much Dimpy. Harry here is joining our family today so you are to also do whatever he wants from you too. Is that alright? And what have I told you about calling me Lady Potter?" Dorea asked.
"Dimpy is ok with it! Dimpy will do whatever Master Harry askes her to do!" Dimpy said enthusiastically. "Thank you Dimpy. And please do call me Harry though." said Harry, instantly reminded about Dobby. 'Where was he now?' he thought.
"Dimpy, can you bring some porridge and soup for Teddy? And don't make it too hot please" said Harry. "Right away Mas...Harry. And what would you all like please?" asked Dimpy. "We would do well with some roast chicken and gravy with some rice. And treacle tarts for dessert will be good today. Thank you Dimpy" Charlus said.
Dimpy snapped her finger and the meal appeared in front of them. "Thank you Dimpy." said Harry before starting to feed Teddy, who gurgled and said Dada over and over again as he changed his hair colour and ears until he settled down with cute little wolf years and a light brown hair with pink streaks.
"A mix of your mum and dad aren't you" said Harry as he shook his head and fed Teddy and started eating himself. "Alright...I've sent a letter to the headmaster and he is willing to allow you to come to school. You are a wizard Harry and you can do magic. You will study with James this year as he is about to start school. We will go to buy your supplies later after you have settled in here so... in two weeks?" asked Charlus and Harry nodded.
"Can Teddy come with me though please? He is the only one I have and only knows me. He also has some weird problems only I can help him out with please? He needs me a lot" said Harry, giving puppy dog eyes. "Of course I will ask him about it Harry. I am sure he will allow you" said Charlus.
"Thank you!" exclaimed Harry, relieved at the possibility of Teddy coming as it was necessary in the future. "Though...can you explain about your comment on Teddy's hair and ears earlier?" Dorea asked.
"Oh! Its just that...Don't take me wrong or do something... Teddy's dad was a werewolf... Don't worry! Teddy won't change but he becomes grumpy during full moons and only I can calm him down. That's why I asked you about him coming with me. He doesn't calm down around anyone else." They all had an 'oh' expression on their face.
"Also his mum was a metamorphagus and loved the bubblegum pink in her hair but his dad had sandy brown one so... you get what I am saying... I want to get to bed. Just exhausted. Goodnight!" said Harry as he went upstairs.
Harry asked Dimpy for a crib and a few toys for Teddy and the house elf immediately set it up for Harry. After Harry tucked Teddy in, he locked the door and casting silencing charms before breaking down. He cried in happiness at seeing his dad and grandparent, cried in pain at losing them, cried in sadness for leaving his friends. It pained him to go alone on this mission but he had to stay strong. He had defeated Voldy Moldy but couldn't stand this separation.
He reached up for his bag and took out the chess board and stared at it for sometime, hoping that it will be good enough to fill the large gap that he had in his heart on leaving his friends. They had basically been with him on anything he did and he missed them a lot.
He had missed the others too. He took out Neville's mirror and took one glance at the photos of the DA members, some survived while the others didn't. He was to set it right. This mission is to change the past and he won't mess it up. Harry thought as he went to the study desk nearby and took out one notebook and pen Hermione had packed for him.
He sat down and thought on listing out everything that he had felt suspicious about Dumbledore. The list went on like this.
1. Making Harry stay with magic hating muggles: Had his mother never told him about her relationship with her sister? And he never bothered to read the will.
2. Never checking up on him
3. Sending Hagrid to retrieve a package in front of a curious 11 year old, the same day it was to be robbed: Couldn't he have sent Hagrid to retrieve it before or later? Why that particular day?
4. Keeping the object that Moldy Voldy is after in school, making it dangerous for the students
5. Protection levels were low for such a valuable object: The protections around it were first year spells for Merlin's sake! Anyone could easily pass through it. A large chess board, flying keys, devil's snare, riddles, all first year levels!
5. He went to meet the minister the day Moldy Voldy planned to steal the stone
6. He never recognised the change in that professor even though he had thought there before!
7. The information was that the troll was in the dungeons and yet he told all of them to go back to the dorms when the Hufflepuff and Slytherin dorms were I or near that area!
And this was only my first year thought Harry. Too sleepy to continue writing, he went to bed after putting the notebook and pen away. Then the thought struck him. 'Remus! He was starting Hogwarts this year! And he only had one or two vials of that potion! He had to make more before going or make it there' thought Harry. He also had... never mind it is a secret for now.
Every night he sat up doing the list
Second year:
1. The chamber of secrets was opened and no action was taken by the teachers ever. They just sat down without any clue, leaving it upto the students to figure it out
2. Even thought the incident has taken place before, no precautions were taken.
3. No one, not even the headmaster knew about the basilisk? Or didn't anyone know about the familiars of the founders?
4. Sent him to those muggles even though he knew that he hated them!: Something about blood wards. It doesn't prevent anyone inside from harming him!
Third year:
1. Dumbledore knew the scorch of he secret keepers and yet felt that Sirius was guilty.
2. He had a very respectable and strong position in the ministry but still hadn't given a fair trail for the man.
3. Allowed dementor's roam around the school freely without any precautions taken incase they were attacked by one.
4. Never told him about his parents or their friends
Fourth year:
1. Couldn't even recognise if it was his friend or an imposter teaching DADA
2. Held the Triwizard tournament even though he knew about the past accidents and even after the attack at the world cup.
3. Didn't stop Harry from participating even though it was very much possible
4. Allowed dragons at school: Anyone could've been harmed!
5. Had wanted to talk with Harry about the graveyard incident even before he could get treated or calm down or rested
6. Wasn't allowed to stay with Sirius even though he had needed it.
Fifth year:
1. Didn't allow anyone to contact him.
2. Didn't defend him properly even though the trial was unfair.
3. Let the MINISTRY try to take control of the school.
4. Didn't allow the members of the Order to share any secrets with him even though it was his problem mainly.
5. Did nothing to support him during the accusations and unfair detentions.
6. Allowed them to form an illegal club: he would have known about the club as he seemed to know whatever has happened in the school!
7. Left the school at the time of crisis
Sixth year:
1. Knew a lot about Tom Riddle and Horcruxes
2. Let the lessons drag even though they could've been finished in two weeks
Seventh year:
1. Left the trio on a very dangerous mission that even adults would have been afraid to do
2. Left many people unprepared.
Common and grave errors:
1. Blocked Harry's magic
2. Made Peter a death eater forcefully and made him betray his friends: He utterly destroyed that man's life!
3. Manipulated everyone around him
4. Stole money from vaults
5. Used potions to get whatever he wanted: Hatred Between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Marauders and Snape, himself with Slytherin, love potions...
He also started to plan and make the Woflsbane potion according to the potion master's instructions and was turning out very well. At this rate, it would be ready before he started Hogwarts! He thought gleefully. He could also take Teddy along with him as Teddy doesn't sleep much on full moon nights...
Well...there is one trip to Diagon Ally left before school...
A/N: And this is the sixth chapter. The next chapter is about Harry warming up to the Potters and vice versa. It will also give a reply about the letter asking about Teddy being able to come with Harry. Maybe a sneak peak on the future Weasleys reactions...… Hope you all like it.

Thank you all for reading!
