Into the Past
"You have a kid?" asked Sirius
But before Harry could respond several people oddly in unison asked "Who's the mother?"
Harry blinked and looked around while still standing on the kitchen table. "Well, first off I don't have a kid."
"Well, then who is he?" demanded Ginny.
"He is my godson. His parents were killed during the war and I have raised him since he was a baby." He responded sadly as he started to cast diagnostic spells on Teddy.
"You know healing magic?" Remus asked surprised after all Harry was wearing auror robes and they weren't known for their healing abilities.
"Hmm. Hermione taught me. It has been quiet useful."
Chapter 3: Irritation
"And why is that?" demanded Molly as Harry finished the scan and jumped down from the table.
"Because I have the tendency to find myself in a variety of dangerous places and am raising a very active four year old." Harry replied calmly.
He then waved his wand to conjured a small cot laid Teddy in it. "How dare you?" Snape demanded in a quiet but dangerous voice while staring at Hermione.
"Oh, relax It happened what four years ago? Really Severus you need to learn to let go of old grudges." Harry said as he applied silencing charms around Teddy's bed. People were opening and closing their mouths in surprise of Harry's attitude.
"You have no right to call me by my given name I am-" Snape drawled angrily before being cut off.
"You have not been my teacher for four years and for all you know we get on well in the future." Harry said smirking in amusement. He didn't like the man no matter what he had done to end the war. Harry settled that by getting his portrait in the Headmistresses' office and getting him the Order of Merlin postmortem. Besides it was fun to wind him up.
"That is completely preposterous and we have no reason to believe you are in fact from the future. Besides I highly doubt that you are able forget a grudge" Snape retorted.
"Oh, really? I'll have you know that for several years my auror partner has in fact been Draco Malfoy. As for me being from the future, well I guess I could reveal a variety of secrets that I have learned over the years including whom the half-blood prince is and why Dumbledore is so sure you're on our side." Harry responded and raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"No, I do not believe that is necessary." A pale Snape said.
"I think it is!" exclaimed a Sirius excited over Snape's response.
"Hmm. How 'bout I tell about what a certain dog did at my parents wedding, a prank that backfired Christmas 1973, or a transfiguration project in 1976?" Harry asked as Sirius paled and Remus began to roll around on the floor from laughter.
Majority of people were looking very confused.
"You work with Malfoy?" Ron asked disbelievingly.
"Oh, yea in fact we worked so well together once we got over are bickering that no Death Eater or any other dark wizard was able to escape us."
"How did you get over your bickering?" asked Ginny as she glanced at Ron and Hermione.
"Our boss got tired of listening to us, locked us in a 12 by 12 room; told us that we weren't going to come out until we got along or one of killed the other but either way he was going to have peace. Of course, I say it was his fault to partner us together in the first place."
"I'm having trouble believing Malfoy didn't become a Death Eater." Said Harry*
"That's because he did. But, he didn't know what he was getting into and by the time he did Voldything threatened to kill him and his family if he didn't do as he was told."
"And you believe that?" asked a skeptical Harry*
"Mate you realize your arguing with yourself right?" Ron asked Harry*
Harry laughed "Kinda weird huh? But I don't have to believe it I know it, I saw it." People looked confused at that so he continued. "Those dreams about long dark corridors are not really dreams."
"What dreams?" most of the order members asked as everyone looked between the two Harries.
"Doesn't matter I probably shouldn't have said anything with the laws of time travel, although I'm not sure it is actually time travel."
"What makes you think that it isn't time travel?" asked Dumbledore.
"Well, I don't remember my future self coming back, and I am surprisingly resistant to memory charms and very reluctant to perform them on anyone."
"Being an auror, being a good auror requires you to obliviate some people." Moody said while fixing Harry with a stern look.
"I know that, but I don't like the idea of screwing with someone's mind, but luckily my partner has no such problem." He replied.
Tonks was looking at Teddy. "You never told us who his parents were." She said while brushing some hair off his forehead.
Harry sighed sadly "Why don't I let you figure it out for yourself after all you're an auror. It's your job to figure things out."
"Well, why Auror Tonks attempts to determine parentage of your young charge perhaps you would care for some dinner?" Asked Dumbledore.
Harry chuckled, "No I don't thinks it was only ten in the morning when I left and the time traveling or whatever doesn't seem to be an antidote for stomach issues," but sat down any way. In a very strategic place, close enough to Teddy that he could grab him easily but with a wall behind him allowing him to see where everyone is and all the entrances.
"How do you know what year it is?" asked Emmeline
"Ahh," how was he supposed to tell them it was because of the number of people that were still alive? "I, um, you see-"
"As eloquent as ever I see." Snape sneered
"As git like as ever I see." Harry sneered back and several people chocked back laughs some having more difficulty then others like the Weasley twins.
"Why you little…" Snape said as he started to move towards him.
"You are a spy and a Potions Master, you are known for thinking things though, so do it. In case you haven't guessed the war is over in my time, and we both know what that means." Both Snape and Dumbledore know about the prophecy they knew exactly what it meant he had killed he was a murderer a concept that he still struggled with. For two reasons really, one that it had taken so long to kill him giving Moldyshorts more time to kill, and two he had taken a life no matter what that person had done with that life. Perhaps he had more problems with the second especially because he had taken other lives, lives of Death Eaters that refused to come in alive.
Harry shook his head it wasn't like him to get lost in his thoughts not anymore at least not in public. Usually he spent a couple hours after Teddy went to bed thinking about all the mistakes he made. Ron and Hermione told him it wasn't his fault, that he only did what he had to, but that didn't change anything; he shouldn't dwell. And here he was getting lost in his thoughts again.
"Well, that's not the point. Professor, could I borrow some books, to research Teddy and my predicament?" Harry asked looking at Dumbledore.
"I thought you weren't a student anymore and were now insisting on using first names." Snape commented rudely before Dumbledore could answer.
"No, only you Severus. I don't like you and I know it gets on your nerves." He told him with a smirk.
"Ah, and here I thought "we got on well in the future." Snape said quoting from what Harry said earlier.
Harry chuckled again "No, not really." He said and winked at Sirius who looked like Christmas had come early.
Dumbledore cleared his throat managing to get everyone's attention, "I would be delighted to loans you some books, but I am afraid that I don't have many about time travel and I do not believe anyone has found a successful way to travel to the future. However, I will endeavor to help you in any way I can."
"I appreciate that. Thank you," was Harry's heartfelt reply.
a/n:
Bullriding lover- I'm glad you like it I hope that it will live up to your expectations.
You Know Who- I will try to keep it to cannon but if I have a good reason to change anything I probably will but in less I say something specific in the story assume it's cannon.
