Chapter 1:

Back to the Beginning:

Harry's perspective;

"HARRYYYYY POTTERRRRR." a hissing voice shrieked.

Harry Potter woke up only to be greeted by darkness around him. He could feel the cold sweat on his body. He knew that voice too well. But where was he? He tried to look around him. He tried to stand up but the place was so small. He had just put his hand on the bulb when the truth dawned upon him.

"But how could it be?" he thought feeling horrified. "How could it be?" he was thinking, his heart beating fastly as though it was going to come out of his chest. As he switched the light on, his every fear was confirmed.How could he come back in time? He was in the cupboard under the stairs where he used to live with the Dursely's.

"Was everything fake, A dream. His whole life, Hogwarts, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Voldemort everything? No, No." He thought. He started to find something in the box besides his pillow. He pulled out a mirror out of it. He looked at the reflection. A skinny boy, green eyes stared back at him. He tried to remember what happened. What happened to bring him back to his past self. He remembered being with Ginny in their new house. The dinners they all had together Hermoine, Ron. He tried to remember but nothing came to his mind. He was just living his life normally but how?

There were small movements outside but he ignored, he just tried to remember anything, any slight thing which gave him a clue of what happened to cause such a twist in time. Or everything that happened was just a dream nothing but mere a dream.

"Up! Come out! Now!"

He groaned. He was not ready for that. Reluctantly, he went out.

His aunt was back outside the door.

"Are you up yet?" she demanded.

"Nearly," said Harry.

"Well, get a move on, I want you to look after the bacon. And don't you

dare let it burn, I want everything perfect on Duddy's birthday."

Dudley's birthday -- how could he have forgotten?

Harry groaned.

"What did you say?" his aunt snapped through the door.

"Nothing, nothing..."

And all the same drama took place. And he was being dragged into the zoo by his aunt Petunia. For an eleven year old, it would have been exciting but at this moment he was more worried than excited. What if he will never recieve his Hogwarts Letter. What if Hogwarts didn't even existed.

They were standing near the icecream van and the kind lady in van had given him a lemon ice pop. He was so worried about all the thing that happened that he didn't notice that his icecream had melt.

"Your ice pop melted." a girl with dark red hair told her. For a second he thought that he was looking at his mother, back when she was young .The girl looked so similar to her, the same green eyes and dark red hair. But she was younger than her, looked about of thirteen.

"Ohhh... I didn't realize." he said.

"Take this," she said, giving him a chocolate icecream.

"No I don't want it." he said.

"Take it, I bought one for Cissy, my sister, but she is nowhere to be found now," she said, licking her own icecream, "you here with your family?" she asked looking at Dudley who was standing near the bench.

"Yeah..." he replied reluctantly, he cannot call them family " my uncle an' aunt."

"Ohhh... and your parents?" she asked.

"Dead." he said, " in a car crash."

"Oh sorry for them. My mother's dead too. Dad is too busy for me. I came here with Cissy." she told him.

"Sorry for her too," he said, "which school do you go?" he asked , trying to engage in a conversation, to occupy his mind in something else.

"It's a school, Ahhh ... ummm... a boarding school." she said hesitatingly, "I spend the whole year there, only come for summer and go back in September."

"You go to Hogwarts." he just spluttered out of his mouth.

"Whatttt? she asked in utter bewilderment." Who are you?" she dragged him into a corner "I never saw you there. Got your letter? Your parents were wizards were they? Cause they don't look like one." she gestured towards the Durselys.

"Ummm... yeah," he said, "so Hogwarts really exist."

"Yeah boy, as you already said." she said, smiling.

"Your name? In which year and house?." he never saw her before at Hogwarts.

"So many questions for one time, dude," she said, half laughing, " Lily , fouth year, Griffindor. And what about you, name? house you expect yourself to be in?"

"Lily" a girl called from behind. She was about 20 years old. He expected her to be Cissy.

"Lily, your dad knows, he has gone bonkers, coming straight to London. I had him on phone. He will probably fire me and ground you. End of my job. And your "so called" fun days too." Cissy said.

"He won't dare. You are here for me. If anyone's gonna be in trouble it would be him or me." Lily replied, " lets go"

"Bye" she said to Harry.

He had never seen that girl. If she was there now and not before than many things were gonna change. What if there was no one he remembered?

He shuddered at the very thoughts.

Harry got the letter from Hogwarts and the next days were a blur. His uncle took them to the same house on the island. He was lying on the floor waiting for Hagrid when he fell asleep.

"Harry, be careful." Ginny said walking behind her slowly.

"slowly, Harry" , Hermoine said. "Ron! don't touch anything"

They were in cave, full of darkness. Harry was walking in front, wand out followed by Ginny and Ron and Hermoine at the back.They were searching something.

"Harry potter," a voice came from the end of the cave

"Harry Potter, the time awaits to be changed.

The History will repeat itself to bring thd darkness to peak, once again.

To revive the dead."

They saw a girl , lying unconcisous. Harry approached and tried to wake her up but

A blue, blinding light,

"Harrrryyyyyy."

Harry woke up, panting, he was lying on the floor on the house at the small island. Now he remembered everything. If he had come back in time due to that event than maybe others would have too.The cave was a ministry target, full of dark magic. An auror was sent thier and came back, gravely injured and was close to death. Then Harry, Ron and Hermoine had decided to go thier with Ministry's Consent and Ginny came along because she wanted to. He laid there awake thinking. Everything was going to repeat itself.

Someone was breaking the door. Hagrid. He gave him the cake and all the past events repeated. They went to Diagon Alley, met Quirell. He wondered whether Voldemort new about the twist in time. It would be better if he didn't. He searched in Diagon Alley for anyone he knew. He saw young Neville and Seamus on his way. He got the same wand and everything. For one thing he was glad, he was going back to Hogwarts. He was going to relive his life. He could meet Sirius, Remus , Fred, Dobby and may be able to save them too. If time really awaited to change then harry would cautiously change it.
