The disclaimer is in the first chapter. Yeah, I just write for fun.
if it wasn't for the Higher Power, I would not have the courage to babble and write, my thanks to that being.
This is it, the chapter before the Epilogue. I want to say thanks to my family and friends; SS and MTU for their love and support.

Chapter 24. Harry and Hermione time travelers.
Forbidden Forest,
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
Scotland, UK
21 June 1986
4:30 PM
Albus Dumbledore noticed the forest wards were acting up again, however, the pattern displayed a disturbance in Aragog's nest.
He got his wand and walked out of the castle. He had been frustrated for some time, hell, ever since that fire in his office back in March. People no longer looked at or treated him with respect. Minerva and Moody currently treated him as though he hadn't taken a bath in a week.
Hagrid simply avoids his company.
Fawkes disappeared and took Severus with him. Severus wrote a letter back telling him that he was a lunatic for trying to control so many lives, and really Voldemort and himself shared those traits.
The International Confederation of Wizards severed ties with him and sent him his retirement papers and then he learned that Sirius Black is alive, but he just doesn't want to see him.
Sirius sent him a letter, telling him to leave Harry and him alone. Otherwise, he would take Harry to his private Island and magical England would know it was Albus Dumbledore who was to blame for not having Harry Potter on English soil. Albus knew that Sirius was not James Potter and due to the now-confirmed conspiracy against him by Bagnold, Crouch, and himself, exposed in his trial. Albus figured the details of Black's private exoneration would make the news and then all hell would break loose on him and his character. There was a high probability that he would join Gellert and Millicent in Nurmengard.
Then, lastly, the boy who lived books were put to rest and Ted Tonks notified Albus that he has a pending trial for the use of the name and description of one young Harry Potter, in those libelous books.
The board of Governors sent a message stating that they wanted to review his work, and they planned to visit on the 1st of July.
Albus is more than angry as he exits the castle, behind him, all of the occupants were quietly whispering.
Even the Weasleys had joined the, I hate Albus wagon as they left England and moved to Australia. Molly tore to pieces the marriage contract between Ginny and Harry Potter. And mailed it along with a letter from Arthur Weasley stating. "Meddling old fool, when you have your own kids, you can make your plans to marry them off to whomever you see fit. You would do well to forget about us and leave my family alone!"
No, life for the Headmaster was not ideal at the moment he thought. It was then that he stepped into the monster spider's lair.
Harry and Hermione were busy dispatching the last of the members of the acromantula colony. The two-time travelers, were in their elder guise, heavily cloaked, making certain that the colony had no missed eggs, so the spiders could not restart the reign of terror when they noticed Albus Dumbledore walk in on them.
"Who are you?" inquired Albus, looking at the couple who were looking at the now empty nest of Aragog and his family. He then stopped and realized just that. That the nest was devoid of monster arachnids and the eerie lack of noise made Albus uneasy.
Harry lowered his hood and Hermione did too. To Albus it seemed like ghosts made solid, the elder man was clearly a Potter and the woman looked like Emma Heloise Dagworth-Granger, a dead witch from a lost magical bloodline. He could not recall ever meeting an ancestor of the Potter line with green eyes. Except for the boy who lived, Harry Potter. This made no sense.
"I don't like to repeat myself, who are you?" Insisted Albus.
Both Harry and Hermione looked at Albus as though he had a second head growing from his neck. It was Harry, who replied, "Who we are doesn't matter. We are making sure that the damage you caused is corrected,"
"Damage?" Asked Albus, raising his wand.
The female apparition shook her head in disbelief. Albus felt his body freeze in place, only able to move his eyeballs.
The man who looked like a Potter stepped closer, took the elder wand and the cloak from Albus, and brought up the stone. He added to Albus's frozen form.
"I threw away the ring into the Veil, stone included after all the Horcruxes got soaked in Basilisk Venom, and the only thing that was sent back was this stone. As it turns out, I'm supposed to control the hallows, only to give a lesson to you. So, I'll wear the damn things," said the old man, who at once turned into the young version of Harry Potter, the version that defeated Voldemort, on a different timeline. The one who held the three items originally and then he turned to Albus, and Albus realized he was out of his depth since he had never known this person. But this teen had a faded scar in the shape of a lightning bolt, and he looked at Albus with nothing but disappointment. He added, "Arianna, came to you in dreams, she told you what would happen, and still, you would not listen, well, you will listen now."
Hermione said, "Do you mind Harry? I made a vow and I have to deliver." Harry blinked and nodded his acceptance. Hermione unfroze Albus, kicked him in the gonads, and froze him again. She then said, "there, you can tell him now,"
Harry lost his train of thought, and figured, as he was laughing so hard at Hermione's brilliant timing, that sometimes simplicity was the best policy. He said, "I had a great speech, but I can't remember a word of it, only that it implied that you manipulating so many to die for your greater good, you forgot that there is already a greater far more wise thing, called CREATION, and that you pissed off the wrong ones. Oh well, I better have you delivered, I'm not sorry for the pain you're experiencing, my pain went far deeper. No thanks to you, after you betrayed magic, not just my parents, Sirius, and Remus. Say hi to the Guardian, IT will be happy to see, you made it to the party, finally,"
Harry and Hermione shifted to their Elven persons and transfigured Albus into a goat figurine. They vanished from the Forbidden Forest and reappeared in Peru, near the Portal of Aramu Muru. Waiting until no one was looking their way, they activated the gate and sent the goat token along with the Deathly Hallows, through the gate. They then closed it and went home. They had too many things to do now, like live a fulfilling life and make sure that no one tried the same monkey tricks on them or anyone else. That was as good a plan as any, and for them, it was enough.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the portal,
"Ah, you made it, good. Tom is here, and so is Gellert. Would you believe Neumonia got the old man to meet us? We have a few things to talk about Albus. For starters, how you three decided to play god with magic. A most inept trio of magicals not only damaged magic but confused eternity with all of your shenanigans… I have to thank Hermione for making eternity laugh with her foot. It's been some time since We laughed so hard. Still, I think you are going to like the rest of your punishment even less."
