First I want to mention that I own nothing except the plot and that some characters might be OOC. Also, I am not a native speaker of the English language, so please excuse any possible grammar or spelling mistakes and inform me of them so that I can edit them.
In addition to that I want to ask you to review everything because the reviews would inspire me and give me ideas.
*five years later (Harry was now six years old)*
Harry woke up in his bed at the twins' house. The twins, as Harry found out, were Fabian and Gideon Prewett, indeed thought to be dead. Harry really pitied them because they obviously couldn't even tell their sister, Molly, that they were very much alive and even caring for a child. Sure, it was a bit hard at first, but they managed to convince their boss to let them work in shifts. Now Fabian always worked in the mornings and Gideon in the afternoons and evenings. So there was always someone home with Harry. And Harry loved it there with his new family. And something deep in him told him that they were trustworthy. There wasn't anyone who knew of them being alive, except Harry and some of the Unspeakable's, so that wasn't the problem. And now, Harry thought, was the best time to tell them about his little, well, not so little, secret. Harry got tired of faking his age and all that and sometimes he even forgets about that and now the Prewett twins were already somewhat suspicious. And the time-traveller really wants to have that cleared, so that they wouldn't have any suspicions of him anymore.
Right now, Harry sat in his bed reading a book about Animagi. He really wanted to be one and he got that book from Fabian and Gideon for his sixth birthday. He 'learned' to read very fast and he wanred to be just like his father, godfather and former defence teacher. He wanted to be a Marauder and to be that he had to be either an animagus or a werewolf. And as much as he wanted to know how it feels, he really didn't want to get bitten by a werewolf. But knowing his luck, that was actually really likely to happen.
In his first year he had to face an evil defence professor that had Voldemort sticking out from the back of his head and had to kill him in order to save the Philosopher's Stone. And second year wasn't any better. The Chamber of Secrets was opened by a little girl, Ginny Weasley, who was posessed by a diary, and in the end, Harry had to open the chanber, too, kill a basilisk, destroy a horcrux, save Ginny AND, to top that all, got bitten by the basilisk and almost died, if it wasn't for Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes. In third, Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, escaped from Azkaban and was thought to be a mass murderer and the traitor, who sold the Potters to Voldemort. But that wasn't true. It was Peter Pettigrew, a rat animagus, who cut his finger of, made an explosion kill twelve muggles and escaped in his animagus form, leaving Sirius Black laughing like a maniac to get thrown into prison without a trial for twelve years. An innocent man twelve years in Azkaban. And Harry was going to change that. He hoped that Sirius really was from the future as well, so that he would know not to get thrown into Azkaban again. But onto fourth year. The Triwizard Tournament, which was for all students 17 years and older, selecter him, Harry James Potter, as fourth champion, and second Hogwarts champion at that. And the defence professor from that year was good, no doubt, but he performed the unforgivables on spider's living animals, and was a death eater in disguise. Harry won the tournament, almost got killed by Voldemort again, Pettigrew killed Cedric Diggory and Voldemort regained his body. Fifth year was probably his worst. The defence teacher, Dolores Umbridge, only taught the theory of magic and didn't belive anyone who said that Voldemort was back. Harry got plenty of detensions and had to write lines with a blood quill. He often saw through Voldemort's eyes, and that was the reason for Sirius' death. Sixth year was quite ok, but still. Draco Malfoy was a death eater and let other death eaters into Hogwarts through a Vanishing Cabinet. Dumbledore went to retrieve a horcrux from a cave and got himself killed by Snape. That was probably teh best of the whole year. Sure, at that time he trusted Dumbledore with his life, hell, he even named his son after that bastard, but after getting sent back in time he realized how good it actually was to have Dumbledore killed. No more manipulations, no more torture, no more Dursley's. In seventh year he went on a horcrux hunt with Ron and Hermione, but as is turned out, Ron couldn't really be trusted. And still, Harry forgave him. He killed Voldemort and Ron and Hermione got together.
That led to the question: Why? Why did Harry let himself be manupilated like this? He didn't even realize that after marrying Ginny. They were really good actors , so good that Harry even named his son Albus. It was just his luck that made him believe Dumbledore as trustworthy. Harry spilled almost all his secrets, but Dumbledore himself never told him anything. He could have told the young Potter that his visions were manupilative. If he did, Sirius wouldn't have died and he would've been cleared of all charges. But no, Dumbledore never did anything that wasn't for the 'Greater Good' and that was what Harry hated about that man. The man was Headmaster and Head of Wizengamot, so why didn't he just tell the Minister and everyone else, what really happened on Halloween 1981? The excuse 'My hands are tied' is stupid. The-man-with-too-many-names could have done so much to make Harry feel better. And those blood wards around the Dursley's residence, they sure didn't do a thing. As Dumbledore said, they would be activated as long as Harry called the Dursley's house his home. But Harry never really called it his home and as you can see, in the last five years he would've died already, if the blood wards would've been that important, but see, nothing happened. There weren't any wards around the house and Harry survived all those years anyways. And Harry even told the headmaster about the abuse going on at the Dursley's but all he said was 'The blood wards...blah blah blah...it's important...blah blah...'Greater Good'...blah blah blah blah...'. The Greater Good certainly wasn't letting Harry get abused and not doing anything about it.
Now only Fabian was at work and Harry should really wait until he was at home with Gideon, which would be in the lat evening, but Harry really couldn't wait. He couldn't have the two people caring for him being suspicious of him only because he sometimes spoke like a 45-year-old man. And that was what he was, no doubt, so before would become any more suspicious than they already were, Harry decided to tell them about the time-travel. But since Fabian wasn't home, he had to tell Gideon first. It was 9 in the morning, so Harry had time, in about 5 hours Fabian would be back, but Gideon at work.
'Hey Gideon!' Said man looked up from his breakfast and right into Harry's eyes.
'Yeah?' Harry hesitated. It was really hard. What if they threw him out if they knew how old he really was? Harry shook his head and sighed. No Harry! Don't think about that! Just tell him, you can do it! And that was what Harry did.
'I need to tell you something important. And please believe me, it's the truth and don't be mad, I've been hiding that fact from you for five years now.' Gideon looked ready to strangle Harry. He wanted to know what was going on and what was so important. And what Harry had been hiding since he came to them.
'Harry, please! Tell me, I don't know what you are talking about.' Say that again, Captain Obvious. Of course you don't know.
'Well...this is unbelievable, but I have to tell you.' Harry took a deep breath and said, as fast as he could. 'Iamfromthefuture' Gideon looked confused, so he asked: 'Come again?'
This time slower, Harry spoke again.
'I am from the future and before you say anything, this is the truth.' Now the 'older man' looked ready to start laughing but he also looked shocked. He didn't believe Harry, that was quite obvious, so Harry sighed and put his head into his hands. 'This is harder than I expected...', Harry mumbled and looked up again.
'Look, Gid, I know you don't believe me, but I tell you, this is the truth, and all I'm about to tell you now is secret and you aren't allowed to tell anyone except Fabian. Understood?' The redhead shudderes at the seriousness in Harry's voice and started to think about believing him, but that couldn't be true in his opinion. He only nodded for Harry to go on.
'Ok. Let's start...at Halloween five years ago. Voldemort wanted to kill me, because of a prophecy, but I'll come to that later, and came to Godric's Hollow. He killed my Dad, who stood at the door without his wand and Mum was up in my room with me. When Voldemort came in, he tried to convince Mum to step aside , so he could kill me, but she wouldn't, so...so he kllled her. Then he laughed evilly and shot the curse at me, but it reflected and hit him instead. That's what 'killed' him and gave me that scar.' Harry stopped and Gideon took that as a sign to talk.
'B-but Harry! How do you remember that? And why did you say Voldemort got killed that night as if it never happened?'
'Because it did never happen. So after that, my godfather came and wanted to take me in, but Hagrid came on Dumbledore's orders-' , Gideon groaned, '-and took me away from him. He brought me to the Dursley's and I literally grew up with them.'
'You didn't grow up with them. You grew up with me an-' Harry gave him a look that clearly stated: Time-Travel so he shut his mouth. 'They abused me and spoiled their son, Dudley. That boy had to bedrooms and I had to sleep in the cupboard under the stairs-' Gideon gasped '-and they told me my parents died in a car crash and that they were drunks. I always thought magic didn't excist. And when I finally got my letter, they burned it and gave me Dudley's second bedroom because the letter knew were I slept. Everyday the amount of letters were doubled and before I knew it, they came flying from everywhere and we had 1000 letters or so in the house. Uncle Vernon drove us to a hotel and then a shack on an island. He thought, no one would find us there, but eventually Hagrid came and took me with him.

...
When Albus should have started his first year, Lucius Malfoy killed me and I saw my parents again. They told me to never trust Dumbledore or anyone else until I knew that they were trustworthy. And for you I had five years to decide, if you were trustworthy or not. I got sent back to the night before it happened and I saved my parents. But no one knows that. They are currently in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts, but again, they don't know that. I wrote them a letter saying that I'm fine and everything and I think they are still in that room. I really want to tell them but I have to wait. There are more people I have to save...' After he finished talking, he breathed out in relieve, not having realized he held his breath for the whole speech. He looked at his hands the whole time and now looke up again to meet Gideons shocked gaze.
Hahaha, Cliffhanger. Hope you liked it.
