Harry finds himself not wanting to go back, the inside of the diary is warm, warmer than any other place he's been in but it's only a loop of memory so Harry finds himself a bit disappointed. While in his head Harry feels like someone was looking at him, but that can't be true right ? He decided to still look everywhere and find a little older student than him looking at him.

"What are you doing in the corridor ? It is past curfew, you should be in your room mister ?"

Harry shrugged a little bit, not knowing what to do. What can he say "Yeah sorry i lost myself, i'm not even from that time ?" not the best idea right now. The older student starts to look annoyed by him and his oddity.

"Sorry, I kinda lost myself. I'm new here, you know transfert... i happen to came here way to early, i should have started only next year but uuh accidental magic and stuff happened"

The older Student that seems to be a Ravenclaw - which why raven by the way ‘cause the emblem is an eagle - looks at him suspiciously "Right" he says before adding " Then we should go see the Headmaster, for you to be sorted". Harry, a little stunned, says nothing and just follows him as he takes the road to go to the headmaster.

“What is your name, I think I forgot to ask ? I’m Heir Lovegood, the head house of Ravenclaw”

~Magic is time, time is magic, in this line of time as cruel as it will be you’ll be Harry PEVERELL, shall you accept your title and your new life~

Apparently Lady magic already chose for him, if he remembers well the peverell are the three brothers from that children book, master of death and stuff he thinks. New memories flows in his mind, a new life, a promise of new friends, new love, new experience but also new traumas, new problems, new everything.

“I’m Harry Peverell, it’s a pleasure to meet you Heir Lovegood”

“Peverell as the three brothers Peverell ?”

The look on the face of lovegood was just amazing, shocked, stunned but with a little something in the eyes that showed admiration and other emotion that Harry was too tired to try to analyse !

“Yes my mother is the descendent of the third brother but the story is a bit romanticized for not scaring the children.”

Lovegood hummed and continued to walk for at least twenty-five minutes. Does the castle change at my time? Harry keeps being in his head, seeing every little difference between then and now - or now and in the future - he doesn't know how he should say it…

The Ravenclaw stops in front of a beautiful statue of an Eagle “We’re here, this is the headmaster office, the password is UNITY, hope you go well and see you at the morning feast ! Goodnight Peverell.“ “GoodNight Lovegood” Harry goes in the stairs and knocks at the door at the end of them.

“Enter !”

“ Hello Headmaster”

The headmaster looks at Harry as if he was some kind of anomaly in the timeline which is true but still it hurts a bit, he didn’t actually want to stay, he misses his friends even though they are assholes sometimes !

“You must be Heir Potter or should I say Peverell, Lady magic lend me a sweet note about your coming ! She was a bit, how should i say it, harsh on her words telling me why and how you were here and some other information that will not be revealed to you for your safety in this time !” Harry found himself baffled. “So heir Peverell, in this time i’m the headmaster, you can call me Headmaster Black or Lord Black, you will find that some of the people you knew in your time are younger here, as professor or as student ! You will be sorted tomorrow at the morning feast as for where you’re going to sleep tonight. We have a wing especially for foreign students. Do you have any questions that you find yourself pressed to ask ?” he looks at him with a questioning brow.
“Uhh- Does lady magic in that sweet little note, as you call it, say what's happening at this time in my world ? And if my magic level is compatible with this time ? I know that the curriculum was way simplified in my time and I don't want to be lost in class ?”

“Yes those are rather interesting questions, for answering you, in your time everything is frozen like time could not move, it just stops ! For your compatibility Lady Magic assured me that you were having the necessary level and a bond with someone from this time…how i don’t know she’s a little shit sometimes.”

~Lord Black our connection is sacred but do not insult my prowess, i am not only your friend i am also a deity, the first of all with my brothers, you will have to speak of us, of me as such ! Harry, Harrison, you are our child, the child of magic, time and death, you are the only one of your kind, you will be granted a bright future but we can’t make it “always & forever” their is one moment where we will have to send you back, no warning, no goodbyes, you will just be gone any trace of you will stays in memories and your bondmate will be protected ! Shall your day be bright !~

The morning feast was as always boring, students being loud, teacher being rather useless, nothing new, always the same little story, Tom was getting bored of this, or that what he would have said about this morning is they were not a little cutie waiting at the teacher table. He found the boy rather interesting, small features, thin, bright brown hair, avada green eyes that make you want to drown yourself in it ! Clothes too big for him, messy, a bit lost, looking for something or rather someone. When his eyes fell on Tom’s one, Tom fells complet, warmer than usual, as if he was in a big hug, he find himself wanting to touch the younger one when he heard the headmaster say “Good morning dear students, today will be a bit different ! As many of you can see, we have a new student, a foreign one, Harrison Peverell. He should have started next year but some complications happened so he will start now. After his sorting you will all have your morning to settle with his arrival and explain to him the rules of his future house ! Now professor Dumbledore if you please bring me the hat”.

A lot of voice echo in the rooms “Did he say Peverell”, “peverell like the brother”, “Which brother you think”, “like the necromancers empire peverell”, “like beetle le barde”. They could not stop talking ! Lord black has to intervene.

“Please ! Silence in the hall ! Albus the hat NOW !”

Tom looks a bit shocked, the gaunt were by marriage a commune blood line with the peverell, maybe Harrisson has some of slytherin abilities. He watches as the hat is delicately put on the head of the youngest, his eyes looking shocked, he flinches as something the hat said in his head, he looks so scared, Tom wants to go on stage to hold the little man, he feels possessive of him. “Better be Hufflepuff” Tom is disappointed, what is better than a little and frail boy to manipulate ? He doesn't know Harrison yet but something is magnetic about him, a need to be close, a need to protect, to possess and Tom is always known for his knowledge, his slight insanity, the need to have what he wants at the time he wants, he was always refused so much as a child, now he takes what he deserves without asking !

Chapter Text

Time is a weird concept for some magical element, the hat is one of them. When he’s put on Harry’s head. He remembers him but as just the student he sorted last year but he’s also really different, different age, different name but also different mind as if the fact that he was on a new timeline more close to a part of his soul makes him, him ! More sane, more safe, more free, more open, less scared, more confident, no one knows him, only time and magic, there is no expectation on him ! He’s not the savior of the world, he’s not Harry potter, he did not survive the Avada curse, He is just Harry and that a feeling that the hat feels he is grateful for. Harry by changing time, not wanting to go back feels like a gift was  given to him ! It makes his morning ! The hat starts to talk in his head …

“My my, it’s been some time dear student, what are we doing here” 

“ I might have come back in time by lady magic, so i need a resorting” 

“Time is a weird concept for a wizard, the Lord and Lady of the foundation of this world chose to add those concepts for you but not us magical sentient ! As for your resorting, I might say the changement of your timeline makes things a bit more complicated !”  

“ So no gryffindor or slytherin this time ?”

  “None of them, you could not be a Gryffindor, you’re not brave enough, you don’t want to fight, you’re tired of this battle, you were forced into this, I will not send you back to your hateful self ! Moreover your soulbond or bondmate as Lady magic calls him changes you now that you’re close from his age !” 

“And why couldn’t I be in Slytherin ? i mean i don’t want to be with Tommy tom but the first time it’s not a person who stop you from wanting to putting me there” 

“Too close with him would be an explosion and you clearly are not ambitious enough for one wanting to go back two cunning enough !  You can manipulate people but in the long process it would hurt you more than anything, and we cannot go with that ! On that day, in this timeline I as a magical sentient object see a sweet soul, a kind heart, a loyal path, a hard work for love, a wisdom of the future and the past, the need to find yourself as a person !”

I love the hat, he always listens but sometimes I don’t understand what he means. He is confusing how by changing timeline my heart changes, what did the timeline modify about me? I'm still Harry, not Potter, but I'm still me, I think.

  “I’m not sure I understand everything, I know who I am and what I want to be !” 

“Do you now ? Do tell, I want to know how you know yourself, you were the piece of his game, you were his weapon, his pawn, an object of his desire to ruin the dark path so how does the sweet manipulated child know who he is !” 

OK what ? I know Dumbledore’s weird, like he set me up to fight. I know that. Hagrid kinda makes it clear at Diagon Alley that i was the supposed hero of the wizarding world but that doesn’t me i don’t know myself, i still know what i like, what i want, does the hat sick ? He can see past my heart and soul but can’t see my dream ? How the actual fuck this magic work ?! 

“ I know who i am because i know what i want, i know what was ask and what i needed to do, dumbledore may have played with me but magic always tell me the truth, as for me i am a child who love animals, sunlight, reading fantasy, dreaming, magic, drawing, i wanted to be a portrait painter since i discovered them at hogwarts, my class book are full of doodles of people even teacher, art is the only stuff that i could do in my cupboard and i want to have a thousand of animals because they’re warm, they’re sweet, they’re lovely and i find my relation with them incredible !! So yeah I know that people on my time want me to fight, that they want me to become an Aurors or some shit like that, but i don’t like fighting, i don’t want to be DADA teacher as some said i could do ! I’m only in my second year and I have already fought voldy twice, I don't need more fights, that just dead to me ! I love art ! That's what I know ! I also love potions but Snape was a terrible teacher ! I’m scared of humans, they’re full of shit so yeah art and animals are my little peace ! That's who I am and what I want !”

  “ OOh The lady’s right you are the only one of your kind, then i have my verdict !” 

Uh, that was easy to convinced him, a bit to easy now that i think of it, i have harder time last year, but after all i was suppose to be a slytherin but no cause malfoy was a right prick and because dark wizard and dark magic, i am not true gryffindor cause of a fucking soulbond or something like that so now i don’t no it’s Rowena or Helga ! 

“Better be HUFFLEPUFF”   

Oh so it’s Helga Hufflepuff, I'm a badger now, yellow is maybe my color after all !
