After dropping off the kids, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went back to the Ministry. After the war, Harry did what he always knew he'd do once he defeated Voldemort. He set out to capture the remaining Death Eaters and made sure none escaped this time around. He wasn't going to give them any chance of bringing back Voldemort or any other dark lord. Ron preferred to work with the laws of Magical Law Enforcement. He revolutionised the laws concerning the 'dark arts' and 'creatures.' Now, he was the head of the Magical Law Enforcement.

This particularly gave Ron, more time to spend with Hermione after she graduated and joined the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures but also be in touch with his friend. Decades have gone, still, Ron feels the darkness humming in his ears when he is far away from his friends and family but instead of seeing Harry and Hermione together as the original horcrux showed, he now hears their scream under the cruciatus curse. That is one of the major reasons, the weekends are usually spent at 'The Burrow'. He never thought he'd worry about anything other than money but now, it just seems trivial before everything. Hermione never says it out loud but Ron had seen the way her hands' jerk or she loses her balance while working. She pretends to be fine but it cannot stop the nightmares or the involuntary way, she touches 'the' scar whenever she talks to anyone from the magical community.

Even after years of peace, there are times when a simple headache makes Harry fill with dread and terror. Every time he celebrates his birthday or his kids' birthday, he is plagued by guilt and remorse remembering those fallen people who never saw peace or could celebrate another birthday in their life. He never takes out his kids to beaches or swimming fearing an attack from the Inferis. James always laughs at this, Albus rebels and Lily defends his fears but only Ginny understands this.

The world was unaware of what the Golden Trio did when they were fugitive. They had suspicions and theories but none came close to what they were really doing. Hermione thought it wasn't safe to tell people about the Horcrux as it can seduce another Dark Lord. So, they gave a vague idea that Voldemort had several weapons which could've easily killed people in mass. Weapons which were more dreadful than Dementors, more grotesque than the Giants and more horrible than the Inferis. People believed them and fortunately, no one prodded for more information.

The first day of school was always bitter sweet for the Potters. Harry and Ginny finally find peace at home yet they missed their kids. Sometimes, Harry forgets he had a life before James came into this world. He never says it out loud but his kids make him feel alive. For a man who had no one to call his 'own' family other than his wife and her family, James felt like a … magic. Harry had Teddy but Andromeda always made sure that Harry understood that Teddy was her grandson first then his godson but that didn't make Teddy love him any less. Teddy was the first to bridge the gap between Draco and Harry, and Ron, then Albus became a friend of Scorpius. Now, there's a high chance that Rose would be the one to make the Weasleys and the Malfoys family. Harry wants to see his best mate's reaction.

As Harry waited outside the office of Daily Prophets for Ginny, Harry remembered James' early days. He was such a sweet child with his big hazel eyes and unruly dark hairs (not as dark as Harry's or Albus'), nobody would have thought he'd grow into a bludger as soon as he starts walking. James was totally like his grandfathers in many ways, arrogant, muggle-loving, crazy and was greatly influenced by Ron, his godfather but he made people feel alive. Albus was like him through and through. Although he got Weasley's brave and bold attitude but physically and mentally, he was as curious and sane as him. No wonder he's in Slytherin. Lily was a ball of fire which can warm and burn at the same time, she was Ginny's carbon copy but with Harry's attitude. He would never say it out loud but Lily was his favourite.

"Hi, what is my man thinking with his pretty crazy brain?" Ginny asked, hugging him from behind.

"We should have another child," said Harry, startled by his own suggestion.

"I am sure that Teddy would be saying the same thing to Victoire in a couple of years," Ginny snickered, exasperated yet amused by her husband's proposition.

"I don't think they are going to wait a couple of years…Bill came to talk to Hermione about the Goblin's liaisons and found Victoire sitting in Teddy's office, you should have seen his face," Harry chuckled as he remembered his brother-in-law's scowl which rivalled Uncle Vernon's.

"He is fighting a lost battle," Ginny laughed, "but What was she doing there?"

"Oh, she just joined the ministry as Percy's intern. Fleur's throwing a celebratory party this weekend."

"What? Why? Oh, that poor thing. Is that why George is offering her a job," Ginny asked, angry that nobody cared to share anything with her.

Since Fred died when he was fighting with Percy, George has been cold towards Percy. He doesn't fault anyone for Fred's death but blames Percy for leaving his family. Molly had tried to bring them closer but George just ignores Percy. Percy feels that he deserves the punishment for leaving his family so, he just accepts his silence. This definitely makes the family dinner edgy until Fleur breaks it with Ron's embarrassing Yule Ball proposal.

"I suppose so but its high-time to bury the hatchet…

Harry felt a weird sensation coursing through his body. He was sleeping on a comfortable yet cold bed and had his eyes closed but the last thing he remembers was talking to Ginny outside her office. Then all of a sudden, he was sleeping in a comfortable single bed.

"Harry!"

He knew that voice, however, he wasn't sure if it was the same person. He ought to open up his eyes but the nagging feeling told him that if he opened his eyes, his world would be different.

"Bloody Hell!"

The word gave him the strength to open his eyes, at least he is not alone but what greeted him only scared him further. He was staring at Dean Thomas who was grabbing his wand. It took only a second before both had cast the spell which rebounded on the bedpost, shattering it but they stood there, glaring at each other.

"Dean! What're you…Harry! Ron! Neville! Is this Hogwarts?" Seamus' voice came from beside him.

An ear-splitting scream broke them out of the trance. All of them ran with their wands out towards the common room when they saw Lavender Brown running out of the fat lady portrait.

"I hexed Lavender. I forgot her voice but then I hexed and she cried." Parvati was telling Hermione, hysterically, her whole body wreaking with a sob.

"Hey, It's okay." Dean ran towards his wife to hold her.

"No, Lavender, Dean…She's Lavender. I know her. She sounded just like that when…. Lavender ALIVE!" Parvati sounded feverish.

"I know. She…looks alive, Parvati," said Dean, holding Parvati tightly while she cried over his shoulders.

Suddenly Ron left the common room and ran towards the sixth year's tower but before he could climb the stairs, George came down the stair, followed by Lee, with both of his ears intact and collided with Ron.

"Fred is here… Is it really him?" George looked paler than ghosts. Ron looked around them looking for an answer. But none had anything to say. They were not even sure if it was reality or dream.

Harry stood gaping at everything, his wand still out, ready to curse anyone when he felt Ginny's hand holding his. His arm slackened as he saw her. Then the fat lady's portrait opened and entered Professor McGonagall.

"Who, in Merlin's name, cursed Ms. Brown?" She sounded furious.

Professor McGonagall looked around at the scared and pale students around the common room. Parvati was still sobbing on Dean's shoulder but Dean and the rest of the boys including George Weasley and Lee Jordon had their wand out and were pointing it towards her.

"Lower your wands and tell me whose idea of a joke is the reason behind this madness," ordered McGonagall glaring, at George Weasley.

"Forgive me, Professor, what year is this?" asked Hermione in a hesitant voice.

"Ms Granger, pray tell me why? It's 1994," answered McGonagall briskly.

"Sorry Professor, Parvati must have had a nightmare and attacked Lavender," said Ginny.

"And we heard it, you know, we thought, umm, it was… Sirius Black again and we had… firewhiskey last night." mumbled Ron awkwardly. Everyone glared at Ron but agreed to go with it. Firewhiskey would certainly give them an excuse to act crazed at least for tonight.

Professor McGonagall lips thinned until her lip became a flat line and her nose flared with anger. "Detention, everyone, not in my life…," she breathed then added, "you'll all meet me at my office and I'll wri…"

"Professor, technically, yesterday term ended. So, you can't really..." said Harry. He didn't want to get in trouble before knowing anything.

"Don't tell me what I can or cannot do, Potter?" said McGonagall with forced calmness then turned and left the door.

"Bloody Hell! We have time travelled," declared Hermione.

It was still dark outside but none of them slept. Soon, more people added their short group but not all which just left the others more frightened.

"Harry, Collin is here, he's alive but still sleeping. I heard his heart beat and he pushed me for annoying him" squeaked Dennis, laughing and crying at the same time.

"What does it all mean?" questioned Dean.

"Who else remembers?" asked Katie.

"I was sitting at my home with my baby, which is weird because I'm still 14," said Parvati, biting her nails then added, "Oh, Dean, he'd be so scared without us."

"Oh, he's going to blow up the house," said Dean, looking worried. Seamus laughed whereas Parvati smacked him.

"Oh man, I have to woo Susan all over again," groaned Seamus.

"It's professor Bones," snorted Neville.

"So, was it all a dream?" asked Alicia Spinnet, not sure if she wanted to know the answer.

"Not possible, all of us can't have the same dream. Wait, what happened during the final battle in your lives?" asked Angelina. George was sitting next to her, holding her hands.

"Expelliarmus," whispered Seamus Finnigan, awed.

"And Neville killed the snake," added Hermione, who was one of the few who knew what the snake really was. Harry and Neville blushed and the others nodded their head with relief.

"So, we 14 people have somehow time travelled but why us?" worried Ginny.

"Maybe they chose couples," suggested Dean, blushing.

"No, my husband is not here. So, not couples," said Katie sadly.

"Oliver is alive… it's just that we don't know if he remembers or not."

"If he doesn't, what will I do?" whined Katie.

"Voldemort is going to rise again and Cedric…" said Harry quietly.

"What if we are given a chance to save the people?" asked George, excitedly.

"George, we should not meddle with time but," started Hermione.

"we didn't, someone else did," added Ron.

"And we are just using it to our advantage," finished Harry.

"Exactly." George laughed.

"I don't know, Harry. What if it's a work of some Death Eater?" said Dennis warily, surprising himself, "I mean, we have to make sure they are the same people,"

"No death eater, that's for sure, they wouldn't bring all of us but we do need to find out who else is involved," said Lee Jordan.

"Does anyone have any idea how we can find out…RON?" almost screamed Hermione. Ron always comes up with plans that work like insane.

"Blimey Hermione, don't scare me like this but I have a plan. I can go and talk to the Moody imposter alone. Since they need Harry's blood, they won't hurt Harry but if Barty Crouch Jr. is from future or if it is Voldemort's plan, he would certainly try to kill me. If he hurts or does something to me, you can find out if it's their work or not."

"You won't go alone." George, Hermione, Harry and Ginny screamed together.

"Dobby, the elf who saved us. He must be safe and alive." Dean said to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Everyone is alive. Dobby, Collin, Fred, Lavender, Cedric…now, we just have to make sure they remain like that," said Harry and he totally intends to keep them alive.

"Wait, we need to find out who else is here, I mean, who else remembers? What if it has nothing to do with Voldemort but we are here all together for a different reason," proposed Seamus.

Everyone groaned and started to remember the lost lives. In the end, everyone agreed that they'll pretend like their old young selves which proved to be really hard.

At the crack of dawn, many left to go back to their dorm to get some rest before it all begins. Seamus and Neville were making plans with Dean and Parvati on making special cards to ask out Susan Bones and Hannah Abbot, respectively. Harry went to his dorm to write a letter to Sirius, inviting him to stay at the RoR (without telling Dumbledore). He hands shook as he remembered their last argument when Sirius said he was nothing like his father. Apparently, it's true, he was more like his mother. He was only going to get another year with him but with the new timeline, he was going to change it.

Angelina stayed with George, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny in the common room. A part of George was scared to face his twin brother as he was worried of the long years without him have changed him but the other wanted to wake him and never let him out of his sight. George pulled Angelina close to him and hugged her for comfort.

"Merlin's Beard!" exclaimed Fred, standing at the foot of the staircase. "You and Angelina? How?"

George blushed while Angelina laughed. After the Yule Ball, Fred and Angelina dated for a couple of months or so but it didn't work out because they were 'more' friendlier with each other than romantic. They didn't even need a break up which made Angelina realise that it never was a real relationship but with George, it was different. Instead of Zonko's, he took her to Puddifoot's Café which was something different. He held her hands and most importantly, he said the three magic words which still makes her breathless.

"Fred," whispered Ginny, tears flowing freely.

"FRED," bellowed Ron, waking up from his stupor.

Before Fred had a chance to retort. George had jumped on him but that wasn't new for Fred. It was George's tears which were scaring him and Ron and Ginny were trying to hug the living life out of him. Soon, he saw a lot more people including Harry and Hermione coming up from behind and hugging him.

"What happened? Did I win house points or something?" asked Fred, disgusted.

No one answered until George calmed down, "I had a bad dream and Fred, you…they got you but left me to live."

Fred's eyes softened and laughed, "Oh Forge, I cannot die until you live." But he hugged his siblings tightly.

"All right, Harry? What is happening here?"

Harry turned around to see the young mousy brown-haired boy with brown eyes, standing next to the teary Dennis Creevey.

"Colin."

Harry did something impulsively. He hugged the third-year boy as his mind went back to 'home'. Albus was about the same height as Collin, a strange sense of fire tugged the chords of his heart. He has to protect them all even if it's the last thing he does.

"Thank you, Colin. Have a good day, ahead."

As Dennis pulled Colin out towards the Great Hall, Harry heard the awed voice of Colin, "did you see, he hugged me, Dennis?"

Harry sighed knowing that he would regret it but the boy fought with him and for him. Ginny was silently laughing at Harry's frown. She never told him but they secretly started a Harry Potter Fan Club in their first year and her first Valentine poem was written by him.
