Harry sat in the Hospital Wing staring lifelessly at the wall. It had been four months since the battle had ended and he hadn't spoken once. He finally had an idea something Albus had told him.
"Severus." everyone looked at him. "Before Albus died he told me ."
"About all this?"
"No about a time turner." he stood up and walked over to Severus. " 'Mione's time turner he was fixing it . He said that if the time came and I chose to go back in time and change everything from happening that I was to take you with me. It'll take us back to a time where we can make a huge difference and make sure this never happens. I'm not supposed to take anyone but Severus. " he seemed dazed, "come, Severus, we must get the time turner and go back in time. We must stop this."
"Harry." Hermione grabbed his hand. "See since I'll go with you."
He looked at her with dispondant eyes.
"It has to be Severus." he said, "Albus said that it must be me and Severus."
"Did he tell you why, mate?" Ron demanded, " He must have told you a reason."
"Albus says 'Harry , it has to be you and Severus. You have to take Severus with you. Listen very carefully it has to be you and Severus because the two of you will be the ones who understand and relate to him. It will help you two to lead him away from the path that he is already on. ' so it has to be Severus."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Ginny demanded. "Explain it!"
"Ginny, I'm not coming back so there's something I've always wanted to tell you."
"Yes , Harry?" she looked hopeful .
"You're an annoying hussy. I know very well you've done almost every guy in this school. You are so not my type and never were you never stood a chance with me. " everyone was stunned. " Ronald, You are a terrible friend. You're constantly turning your back on me when it counts. Sure you stood beside me through this all but I know you were well payed for it otherwise you never would have been my friend. " he walked away from them then looked at Hermione. " You're almost as annoying as Ginny. You think you know everything and that no one is smarter than you. You think I'm stupid and ignorant but I'm not. Neville , Luna." both looked at them. "You are amazing friends and I wish we could have been friends for ever. I hope you have a happy long life together. " he walked over to the Malfoy's. "Draco, I wish I would have taken your hand when you offered it. " he began walking toward the door. "I'm leaving now."
Severus was smirking. He felt as if Christmas had come early.
"I'm leaving now." he mimicked. Then turned and followed he quickly caught up. "Potter , I never knew you had it in you."
"I would have loved to say more." Harry replied, " A lot more. Albus said everything we will need will be with the Time Turner."
They got into the office Minerva jumped looking shocked as Severus quickly explained what was going on. Harry walked to Albus' portrait he pushed it aside and tapped the wall with his wand. It opened and a vault opened. He reached in and pulled out a moleskin pouch. He put it around his neck. He grabbed a few other things and put them in his pockets. Finally he grabbed the time turner and closed the wall and moved Albus back.
"Minerva." He said, " I'm sorry i never really got used to you and honestly I wanted to be a Slytherin because I think I would have fit in better there. If you have not realized this yet I will tell you. You need to unite the Houses. It was everyone's hatred for the Slytherin's that started all this. That and people like Severus' father and my Aunt and uncle. Also the hat has charms on it that need to be removed before school starts again. " he set a piece of paper down on her desk. "That's what you need to do. " He walked toward the door. "We need to Apperate to London or we'll just reappear here.I don't think Dippet would like that." he looked over his shoulder. "I'm leaving now."
"Harry!" Minerva called, she put her hand on his shoulder. "Please be safe and I'm begging you don't do anything reckless. "
"Thank you." he said, "I was hoping someone would at least care enough for me to say that. "
"Can you come back?"
"Harry Potter will never return." Harry replied, "He's going and not coming back."
"I understand." She smiled at him. "Well, I hope I will see YOU again, Harry. Just YOU."
Harry nodded and began walking again.
they reached King's Cross and went into the Platform. Harry pulled Severus close to him. Shocking the older man. Harry wrapped the time turner around both of their necks and began turning it. When it activated. They were whizzing through time. Harry stared over Severus' shoulder not wanting to look at him for the moment. If what Albus had said was true they were going to be together for a very long time. He was not looking forward to living in 1932. (If Tom went to school in 1938 he'd be five right? I think I got this right if not TELL ME!) His fashion sense was going to suffer. He liked jeans and hoodies but they weren't even made yet. He'd have to wear those stupid suits he'd seen in old detective comics. He wondered if he could pull off being like Sherlock Holmes. He scoffed to himself at the very idea of it. He knew he would need a job but couldn't think of one he would take. He was only 17 after all.
Finally, they arrived.
