-Harry Potter fanfiction- 

What if the end battle in seventh year didn't end the way it was supposed to? What if it was just one big slaughtering and only a couple of Order members escaped? And what if Harry decides that the future doesn't hold anything promising any more?

He goes back to the past, that is what. After a rigorous training Harry is sent back to just after his parents were killed. Unfortunately for the Order, his and their goals are different this time around. During his training he has come to a couple of important decisions and conclusion, and this time Harry wants some drastic changes to occur. Screw the Order and Dumbledore, Harry is doing it his way.


---------
It's quite a slow story so if you're just interested in when Harry actually time-travels go to the chapter "Time is relative".

I'd personally advise not to skip the earlier chapters though because they contain all the backstory and it can become a little confusing to start right in the middle of the story.

If we could turn back time by MBlack_93
7 parts Complete Mature
When Harry is called to the Headmasters office at the beginning of his sixth year he isn't sure what to expect. He at least really didn't see it coming that he would become Master of Death, travel back in time to become someone else, and more importantly to stop Voldemort before he would be lost to the monster. **** ''You must understand, Harry, that it's very dark magic. I don't want to taint your soul.'' Harry hisses, feeling his rage rear its ugly head again. You could taste his magic in the air, and Harry almost imagined the tendrils swirling around him wildly. Dumbledore's eyes widened. ''I call bullshit! The darkest curse was thrown at me when I was a baby, I'm almost of age, and you should just fucking tell me what I need to know. And I mean really what I need to know, and not what you want me to know. I think it's time to trust me, to trust your weapon, because that all I am, right? A soldier in this war, a weapon to end the Dark Lord, just a means to an end. The savior of the wizarding world, the boy who lived, the chosen one, and all that other rubbish!'' **** There will be smut in later chapters. **** Update 13 Oct; Someone actually went and started translating my story!! Thank you @LittleMitty007 Spanish translation: https://www.wattpad.com/story/288139145-if-we-could-turn-back-time Update 9 Nov; Wow! Someone also translated it to Portuguese! Thank you @_Nash_Caly_ Portugese translation: https://www.wattpad.com/story/285443545-if-we-could-turn-back-time

DISCLAIMERS (Update 11/27/2025 - Yes, I'm still alive and I will be dropping chapters soon): ART AND THUMBNAIL RIGHTS: ANY and ALL art that I USE if not mine, will be stated to be such. ANY and ALL art that I MAKE and use, CANNOT be re-uploaded without crediting me, AND IT CANNOT be re-uploaded with modifications. The act of reuploading ANY story with MY art without credit or with modification will be seen as theft, and if I see it, a DMCA complaint will be sent out. STORY AND CURRENT FORMAT: THIS STORY IS BEING RE-WRITTEN AND ADDED TO STARTING 10/9/25; This fanfiction is the first I have taken seriously, and the first I will complete. In all fanfictions I seek to create, I will attempt to capture canon-like personalities of the characters from the fandom I choose to write on. HOWEVER, I will ABSOLUTELY be putting twists on things, adding new original characters, creating new job positions if applicable, and giving said new original characters the aforementioned job roles if they fit it. You are ALLOWED to add new chapters to this story, and you're allowed to republish this story, ONLY if you credit me and ONLY if you're adding new chapters and not re-writing my entire work. ---- BRIEF DETAILS: A year after Harry Potter defeats Voldemort and the war has ended, he is left tired, lost, and constantly angry. In a chase for an escaped Death Eater, he is hit by a particularly nasty curse; It just so happens that this curse was explosive enough to hit Ron and Hermione too. All three wake up in limbo after death scares the hell out of the Death Eater and his allies, have their realities shattered by certain revelations, and are given a chance to go back in time to save a Tom Riddle who needs some saving. ---- Anytime I publish a chapter, expect there to be more chapters that come along with it. I never just publish one chapter or just one part and leave it at that, that would be WAYYY too lazy.

Harry's last year at Hogwarts, of course, had been interrupted by the war. The war that had ended the reign of Lord Voldemort. The Battle Of Hogwarts. But Harry wasn't ready to end his time there. He missed the castle, he missed his classes, he missed everything about it. Luckily he would get the chance to go back. Students in 7th year at Hogwarts were given the chance to continue their studies in 8th year. This was set up for the students so that they could continue their magical education. All younger students were to repeat their year before moving on to the next year. Studies would continue just as normal as ever. Harry was happy to have one more glorious year with his friends before continuing into the magical world on his own.
