Chapter 2

The wind finally stopped and the air was still. Harry and Draco looked up and saw Albus Dumbledore looking at them. Harry jumped out of his seat and glared at the Headmaster.

"What was that all about Headmaster?" Harry demanded accusingly. The Headmaster looked confused.

"I'm sorry, but do I know you? More importantly how did you come to be in my office?" Dumbledore asked while looking between the two.

"What do you mean how did we get here and of course you know us. You were just talking to us before the wind. With all do respect, please cut the act." Harry's voice was beginning to raise.

Draco, instead of answering the Headmaster's question had begun looking around, his eyes fell upon the wall to the left of the Headmaster's desk. Quickly he drew Harry's attention to the item.

"Harry, look!" Harry stopped his tirade and turned to see what had caught Draco's attention.

On the wall was a magical calendar, the same one that had always been in the Headmaster's office. Only now instead of saying September 2, 2010 it said September 2,1989.

"Oh Merlin," Harry fell back into his seat and turned back to the Headmaster. "You sent us back in time, you said so many lives had been broken. You want us to fix time," Harry looked unbelieving at Dumbledore.

"I think its best you explained the situation gentlemen," Dumbledore stated after having ordered tea and biscuits.

The boys began by explaining the outcome of the war and how their world had been left in turmoil. They ended with the conversation they had had with the future Headmaster and how they had ended up here.

"I believe you are right young Mr. Potter. However, we cannot simply let you loose into the school with the identities you have. It would cause complete chaos. Thus, we will create new identities and place you in your houses.

I must tell you, you have just one year to complete your task. The spell I would have used allows time travelers the opportunity to fix time. It is a spell that has been in the Dumbledore line since wizards first walked the earth. We are the guardians you see. The ones charged with maintaining the timeline. My future self must have seen that the future timeline was bleak and detrimental to the wizarding race. No matter let's create your profiles." Within the hour the three created names and backgrounds for the teens.

Harry would become Harry Williams, a half blood who had originally come from France and had just transferred to Hogwarts. His parents were killed in an accident and his relatives had sent him to boarding school all his life. Keeping with the basic history of Harry Potter, Harry Williams came to only changes Albus made was to hide Harry's scar, get rid of his glasses and make his hair a lighter brown.

Draco became Draco Solaire a pureblood also originally from France who had come to England when he was 5 but was privately tutored. His parents now wanting Draco to take his NEWTs in an accredited educational facility; to compare his standings with other wizards. Draco's hair was changed to a dark brown.

Dumbledore suggested they be sorted so they could join the feast later that night and sit with their respective houses. Harry placed the hat on his head first.

Ahh, what have we here...another Potter I see. But a time traveler...hmm...very interesting. You would do well in Slytherin, but I see that your task would be better fulfilled in Gryffindor.

"Gryffindor," the hat finally shouted out. Harry smiled and passed the hat over to Draco. As usual the hat needed only a second to shout out the expected house.

"Slytherin"

"Now that everything is all sorted we must introduce you to the student body." Dumbledore chuckled lightly at his own pun then rose from his seat. "You're a day late for the sorting ceremony but everyone should be at dinner tonight as well so never fear."

The trio made their way down to the Great Hall and came to a halt behind the Headmaster. The Headmaster called the hall to order from the front doors of the hall and all the students went silent. The Headmaster had never given announcements away from the Head table before.

"Greetings again, I have one quick announcement prior to the commencement of our dinner. We have two new 7th year students, one is a transfer student from France and the other had originally been privately tutored. Allow me to introduce Mr. Harry Williams and Mr. Draco Solaire. Mr. Williams will be joining the Gryffindor house and Mr. Solaire the Slytherin house. Please ensure they feel welcome, now on to the feast." Dumbledore then began to walk towards the Head table and left the two standing at the front.

"Are you ready to do this Harry?" Draco said as he turned to face Harry alone.

"I failed everyone once Dray, I have no intention of allowing my life to be ruined again. By the way, are we going to be pretending we don't know each other?"

"No, it took me seven years to become your friend we're not going to back to our previous relationship. We'll just say we've been friends for years because our relatives knew each other or something."

Draco nodded his agreement. Harry embraced his friend who had become dear to him after the past year. His brother, closer than anyone left in his life. Draco then sauntered off to the Slytherin table. Harry simply smiled and shook his head going off in the direction of the Gryffindor table.

Draco arrived at the Slytherin table and knew immediately he would have to assert his power otherwise he'd be eaten alive. No longer did he have the Malfoy name backing him and offering him a place in the pureblood elite. These people would need to be impressed. But to do that he would have to wait until he had arrived in the Slytherin common room.

About to sit down at the end of the table, Draco stopped when he heard his name.

"Solaire, join us." Draco looked over and saw none other than his father beckoning him to the centre of the table.

Draco went over and took a seat across from Lucius Malfoy. To Lucius' right was Severus Snape and to his left was Draco's own mother Narcissa Black. Beside Draco on his left was Alessander Zabini and to his right Amelia Carpoli.

Draco smirked as he realized how much easier his father had made it by inviting him to sit with the group.

"Good evening," Draco drawled as he made firm eye contact with his father. The look he gave was not to challenge Lucius' authority but to make it clear he was not one to be trifled with.

"Allow me to introduce Severus Snape, Narcissa Black, Alessander Zabini and Amelia Carpoli. We are all in 7th year." At the mention their name each individual nodded their greeting.

"Tell me Draco we were just having a conversation regarding our timetables what will you be taking."

"Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Defense, Herbology, Arithmacy, Ancient Runes and Dueling." Lucius simply looked at him while Severus raised an eyebrow. Healing and Dueling were electives only offered to the best students, ones that had proven their capability and competency.

"Will I be accompanied by any of you to those classes?" Draco asked in a superior voice.

"Yes, I believe you will," Severus answered finally. "What do you know of the other student Williams?"

"Enough, we have known one another for years." Draco answered vaguely wanting to avoid giving the Slytherins too much information about his friend.

"Is he a pureblood?" Draco quickly thought things over in his mind. His answer could make or break his placement in this house.

"I've never asked, I didn't realize it was an issue." Draco looked down his nose at the five. "My family has always been more concerned about power level than blood status. My father always said to align myself with wizards of power, the problem with some purebloods is that they are squibs or have low power levels. You then find the leeches of society and I couldn't possibly have that."

Lucius appeared to be calm but Draco could see the outrage burning in his eyes.

"Intriguing Draco," Lucius drawled. The meal continued with less controversial topics.

At the end of the meal Lucius addressed Draco. "Come we must journey to the Slytherin Common room you will be the fifth person in our dormitory. Andre Parkinson had some matters to attend to, you will be introduced later tonight."

Lucius and the other four stood. Draco joined them and then told the group he would meet them in the entrance hall.

While Draco was creating his place in the Slytherin house Harry was meeting the Gryffindors.

"Williams come sit down here. You're a 7th year, you should sit with us." A tan black haired boy called down. It took Harry a moment to realize it was his father. His mother beside him and his godfather across the table. Harry moved and took a seat next to Sirius.

"I'm James Potter," he turned to the girl with auburn hair beside him. "This is my girlfriend Lily Evans, beside you on your right is Sirius Black to your left is Remus Lupin and to my left is Peter Pettigrew." Harry smiled his greeting at all but Peter, to whom he gave a calculated stare.

"You'll be bunking with us. Our other dorm mate is Frank Longbottom is down there beside the girl with black hair and blue eyes, his girlfriend Alice Greenfield."

"So where are you from?" Sirius asked drawing his attention away from Neville's parents.

"Just outside of Paris, I arrived in England a few weeks ago." Harry turned to the group and shrugged.

"So how do you know the other guy, if you only just got here." Harry realized Draco and his mistake and quickly made up something to fit the change.

"I boarded at a school in France but spent part of my summers with Draco's family. We've known each other since we were children. Our parents were friends and when mine died I went to live with relatives. Dray always ended up having me over for a few weeks in the summer so it worked out better that way."

"He's a Slytherin though, you guys really shouldn't talk anymore. Slytherins are evil." Sirius asked casting a suspicious look over at the Draco. Harry subtly rolled his eyes at the blatant prejudice.

"I don't even know what that means. However, if you are thinking I'm going to stop talking to the guy I think of as a brother then you are sorely mistaken. We've been through too much for me to stop associating with him because we live in different places."

Sirius looked shocked and was about to continue the argument when Remus spoke up cutting Sirius off.

"How are you liking Hogwarts? I know most of us forget the first time we arrived but it is quite majestic is it not?"

The conversation continued, staying far away from the subject of Slytherins. As dinner was about to end Harry felt a tap on his shoulder. Turn to his right he saw Dray.

"Hey, I'm headed out. Are you good?" Draco asked looking the Gryffindors up and down.

"Yeah, Dray I'll be fine. Meet for breakfast tomorrow? I'll come join you at your table." The Gryffindors all looked scandalized that he would be going to sit at the Slytherin table.

"Alright I'll meet you in the entrance hall tomorrow we can discuss how things are going." Draco then gave his friend a pat on the shoulder and walked towards the Slytherins.

Draco walked up to the group and began the walk to the dungeons. "Oh, Harry will be joining me at the Slytherin table tomorrow so I won't be able to join you all for breakfast." Lucius looked up with a gleam in his eye that told Draco he had his father hooked.

"Draco, why don't you and Williams join us tomorrow. Meeting your friend would please me." They entered the common room and moved to sit in their area by the fire.

Parkinson was already seated in the leather couches by the fire, the group moved to surround him.

"Draco sit with us, would you like a drink?" Lucius asked handing him a cup. Draco took the drink and lifted it to his mouth as if he was going to drink. The satisfied looks in Lucius and Severus' eyes made him want to roll his eyes.

"Why thank you Lucius, you are too kind." Right before Draco was about to sip the drink he stopped and gave them a cold stare.

"You didn't actually believe I could not detect Veriterserum?" Severus arched an eyebrow.

"Well done Solaire, however, I don't wish for our acquaintance to end badly. Please, I will have a fresh, unopened bottle retrieved for you and you can tell us more about yourself." Draco raised his eyebrow and smirked.

"As you wish Lucius."

The night progressed with the Slytherins testing each other and bantering back and forth. Growing up in the cut throat pureblood world had taught Draco how to duel with his words, making the subtlest of comments as sharp as a double edged sword. Finally, it was time to retire for the evening. Draco joined the other boys in bidding the girls good night and followed them up to the 7th year dorm.

Draco noticed that the only area left was the one closest to the door. That would never do. Someone sleeping closest to the door would be the first to fall victim to an attack.

"Alas, I do not believe I will be able to remain in this dorm as the only spot left open is the one closest to the door. I am prone to terrible chills and cannot fathom enduring such hardships all year." Draco said in a regretful tone. Severus looked up and glared in his direction, before looking towards Parkinson.

"Move you things Parkinson, it would seem we have a pre-madonna on our hands," Severus sneered before making his way to the bathroom. Draco shrugged and moved his things over to Parkinson's bunk so they could switch.

When Draco returned from the bathroom after finishing his nightly routine he climbed into bed and closed the curtains. All in all the night had not gone too badly. He would have to further cement his position in the upcoming weeks. Placing wards around his bed to prevent intrusion, noise and light he closed his eyes and drifted into the arms of Morpheus.

Harry made his way up to the Gryffindor common room with the rest of the 7th years they sat down on the comfy red couches by the fire. Pettigrew who had been going to join them, noticed the look on Harry's face and made his excuses prior to scurrying up the stairs towards the dorm.

"Harry do you miss your friends?" Lily asked while leaning on James for support.

"Everyday," Harry said quietly.

"Will you get to see them again?"

"Hopefully, one day," Harry continued without making eye contact. The conversation was getting a little too close for him to remain comfortable.

"What happened to them, don't they write?" Lily continued with concern flashing in her eyes.

"Look, I don't really want to discuss it. Dray's my only friend left and he...he's been through a lot with me. He keeps me sane. We started out hating each other and then realized it was too much work. So we became friends after some stuff happened. Needless to say I won't be letting him go anytime soon." The last comment directed at Sirius who sneered and looked away.

"Anyway, I'm pretty tired, it was lovely meeting you guys, if you don't mind I'm going to head to bed." Harry stood up feigning a yawn and started walking towards the dorms.

"Sleep well Harry, shall we wait for you tomorrow before we go to breakfast? Classes begin tomorrow?" Lily asked kindly. Harry didn't turn around but voiced his affirmation. Once out of sight he closed his eyes and placed his hand over his face.

It was more difficult that he thought it would be to see his parents and godfather happy and alive. They were carefree, it was the quiet before the storm.

Harry firmed his resolve. He wouldn't lose them all again. He'd be damned if he allowed time to fuck things up for him again. First things first deal with Peter.

Harry entered the dorm and saw Peter in the first bunk closest to the door. He was looking at a magazine devoted to various rodents. Harry walked over to him and sat down on his bed. Peter looked up nervously.

"Hi, H-H-Harry...h-h-how are you?" Peter asked stuttering due to his nerves. Harry smirked viciously at him.

"Hello Peter, I will be quite fine shortly." Peter gulped.

"Now we're going to cut the bullshit. You and I both know you have a little friend that makes you feel a little better about you pathetic little life. A very...powerful friend." Harry gazed at him cooly. Peter's eyes went wide before he adopted a look of fear.

"This powerful friend, is one that your Marauders don't know about do they?" Peter slowly shook his head, eyes still wide. "Well then, if you don't want me to spill the beans, you'll stay far, far away from me. Don't speak to me, better yet don't even come near me. Or you'll regret it. Also, stay away from the Marauders, I'm sure they won't notice your absence." Harry reached over and patted Peter on the cheek condescendingly.

"Sleep well Peter, although you can't sleep well if you're...dead...hmm. But never mind me, I'm sure we will get on swimmingly." Peter shot up and ran to the bathroom just as James, Sirius, Remus and Frank joined the dorm.

"Harry I thought you were going to bed, is everything alright?" Remus asked.

"Oh, everything is fine, I was just becoming acquainted with our dear friend Peter." If anyone was listening closely a small whimper could be heard from the bathroom at the end of the room.

"Anyway, now I'm really off to bed, oh and nice to meet you Frank." Harry said offering his hand to the one man he was unfamiliar with.

The resemblance between Neville and this man were astounding. They both had dark brown hair and round faces but Frank's was one that gave him a soft boyish look. He was tall and seemed like the quiet type. Yet, unlike Neville, he had a confidence about him that wouldn't allow people to second guess him.

"Nice to meet you as well Harry," Frank answered with a firm handshake.

Finally, Harry headed to his bed which was situated between Remus and James. After warding his bed as Snape had taught him to during the war. Harry drifted off to sleep, praying he would get a reprieve from the night time horrors he was usually subjected to.
