My name is Jamie Hattchet. I'm fourteen years old and a trained actor/pickpocket.

My life was pretty normal until I found the pocket watch. After that everything sort of spiralled out of control and my dad and I were flung through the pages of history (and the future), meeting all sorts of people; friends, foes, celebrities and things. All we wanted to do was to get back to our normal lives, to perhaps start afresh. I could do school and Dad could get a proper job, stop killing people for once. 

No such luck. Time is a harsh mistress.

My name is Jamie Hatchett and this is my story.

9 parts Ongoing
You were always an introvert even if your family was outgoing so during the break from online school due to bullying almost having you trying to make you take your own life, your parents thought it would be good to let you have some fun. A family camping trip with your parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents sounds fun but you don't like crowds, loud noises, or doing crazy things. You liked it quiet indoors with books, movies, video games, or playing by yourself outside away from other kids. Feeling unheard, you sneak off into the woods to sulk but everything changes when you see something fall from the sky and land just by the lake then you go to find... a weird-looking pink watch that doesn't even tell time. Not know, it does so much more... Say hello to your new friends.

PS: there will be changes to characters in this, like characters who die and characters who don't etc.

A classic plot line. You know the story: When James Potter steals a time turner from his dad, Harry Potter's office, and breaks it, he send himself, Lily, Albus, Victorie, Rose and Hugo back to 1995. With the next generation meeting their young parents and all the people who died, what will happen? Just how exactly does their family try and get the time travelers back?A Next Generation Time Travel Story. Okay. So yeah, classic story. But with a twist. What if someone remembered the trip? DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING! Everything is the wonderful J. K. Rowling, except for the plot. It's a overused plot line, but still good for a read and laugh.
