What if the marauders survived? What if Wormtail was caught before he betrayed the Potters? What if Marlene McKinnon didn't die? What if Voldemort didn't use the killing curse?

The war had lasted years too long and Harry was left alone, the only one to survive on the battle field. He couldn't take it. But Death had different plans for him. This is a Harry Potter time travel fanfic, enjoy! I am terrible at writing descriptions, so if you decide to read this, props to you. Also, if you reread a chapter later on and see a sentence that wasn't there before, don't be surprised, I tend to adjust it when I want to. TW: please look at the A/N at the beggining of the book Mature Content. I do not own Harry Potter in anyway, the series belong to JK Rowling. I only own this fanfic and its storyline. None of the pictures in this story, including the cover, belong to me. All rights and credit go to the rightful owners.

Harry dies and ends up meeting Death, who is not happy at what has been happening to the wizarding world and his little master. So Death sends Harry to Tom Riddle's third year in hopes of preventing that future from happening, as well as giving his master a chance at a better and happier life. Or Death just does what it wants.

"A Potter, a Weasley, and a Muggle-born in Slytherin. That's a pretty odd combination, don't you think?" Amazing cover by Khabootea

We all know the story of Harry Potter- how he met the Weasleys at Kings Cross, how they showed him how to get onto the platform and how he became friends with Ron. But what if he never met the Weasleys? What if, instead of the Weasleys, he met Hermione at the station. What if they started their journey together? And what if the Weasleys had different intentions than just showing Harry where the platform is? Why don't you read and find out? .................................................................................. Got top in #harmione, as well as #harmony quite a few times so it's probably worth at least a quick scan. I also have to warn you, there is some serious Idiot!Ron bashing, as well as Dumbledore!bashing.

Harry is left in the dark by his friends. After a couple of weeks without a word from the magical world, Harry receives a letter from R. Singulier. After this letter, Harry finally starts to think for himself and the world he is in. Because what does he know about the Dark cause and what does he know about himself and his friends? Are they really on Harry's side, or are they fair-weather friends? Follow Harry with a start of a new friendship and maybe a change in feelings. Harry Potter X Rabastan Lestrange I am not a native speaker. This work is my first work in English. There is no Beta-reader. So please be gentle. I added the tag: erotic; from chapter 21/22 the story gets a lot more exciting, with a lot of smut and fluff. This story was previously posted by me on Archive of Our Own. Update: There is now a sequel to this story (work in progress) A Change of Heart, will continue the story of Harry and Rabastan.

Book Three

BOOK TWO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proffesor Snape turned and stared at Harry, one eyebrow raised. "Mr. Potter! Are you paying attention?" "Y-Yes, Proffesor." "Tell me what would you get if I asked you to add powdered root of Asphodel to an infusion of Wormwood?" Snape asked, knowing that the first year wouldn't know the answer. "I-I don't kn-know Sir." Harry said, his throat tightening severely. "Very well, Mr. Potter, where would you go if I asked you to get a Bezoar?" "I-I s-suppose t-the supply c-closet, P-Proffessor" Harry said, his heart racing and his breathing becoming shallow. "I-what?" Snape asked, not expecting this answer from a Gryffindor. "Th-the s-supply c-closet, Sir?" Harry repeated. "Well... umm yes, technically, but if I didn't have one then where would you go to get one?" "Th-the s-store s-sir?" Harry asked trying to think of a suitable answer. "Think Potter. Where does a bezoar come from?" "I d-don't know sir!" Harry cried, tears prickling his eyes. "And what is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?" Snape asked. "I-I don't know, Sir" Snape stepped closer to Harry, who in return flinched away. "For your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so power-" Snape stopped talking as Harry quickly wrote down every word the man was saying. "What are you doing?" "Ta-Taking N-Notes Proffesor." Harry said, quietly. "Is that what you were doing before?" Snape asked, surprised. "Y-Yes, Sir." "Hmm..." Snape hummed "Five points to Gryffindor." the class gasped and stared at the Proffesor "And see me after class, P-Harry." "Y-Yes, sir."

Did you siriusly think that Harry would not recognize Remus. Did you seriously think Remus would think Sirius was the betrayer. Did you seriously think that Mcgonagall would not think herself as the gurdian of Harry. Did you seriously think that Voldy can kill James Potter. Did you seriously think Lily would not have chosen to turn into a ghost. Did you seriously think a veil can kill Sirius. Did you seriously think Dolohov could kill Remus. Did you seriously think Harry would not create a 2nd gen marauders team. If you thought so you are an idiot. This is the real story of Harry Potter I dont own Harry Potter
