Summary:AU. Voldermort reins supreme and Harry Potter is the last of the resistance left. In his grief he searches for a way back into the past to rewrite the wrongs and save his loved ones. Canon pairing. TimeTravel fic. Years 1-7.
Firstly, I would like you to thank you for picking my story to give a try and I hope you find what you're looking for. Here are a few facts about the story before you get started:
-No slash. Not against it but don't want to write it.
-Cannon pairings.
-It will be all 1-7 years. I have read some time travel fan fictions where they take ages to go through each year and don't end up finishing the story. I want this story to be realistic and so I only plan to write about the bits significant to the plot and also I would like to get it finished at some point in the future. You have all read Harry Potter before and so know the finer details of each of Harry's school years meaning the bits that aren't very important will be either touched very lightly or not at all. If there are certain points that you think might be interesting to see then I am open to suggestions.
-This will be over 100,000 words in the end, so you won't get bored with undescriptive scenes or poorly characterized people. If you feel that there is something that could be improved by my writing style then please make a suggestion but don't rip it out of me because, remember, this is only a hobby and harsh words are not necessary.
-I would also like to point out that I am well aware that there are 1001 harry potter time travel fan fictions out there and mine probably sounds very familiar. I wanted to have a go at writing one because I enjoyed this type of story. I will try and make it as different as I can and as the story progresses you will find that I have added in some unexpected things. Please, if you think you have read it before, don't like it or are not willing to give it a go, do not leave a review. Negative, pointless reviews can be big downers when you need inspiration to keep going.
-There might be swearing in later chapters and violent situations throughout. So just a warning now.
-I am currently at school doing exams and so they will come first to fan fiction. I will try and get a chapter out once a month at the very least but that might be difficult at times nearer to exams. You can check out my blog on my profile to find updates to what is happening with this story.
-My spelling and grammar might not be amazing and it is possible I would have missed something. If this is the case please point it out to me and I will happily change it. I have a beta,Beany123, (I love her) and so it shouldn't be too bad.
These are here to make sure no tears are shed and all are well and happy. I hope none of these offend you in anyway but please take them into consideration when reading my story. Now I just hope that you enjoy what you read. I shall post updates about what's going on with the story. If I run over a month I shall tell you my problems and solutions so that you aren't in the dark about what's going on.
Thank you and i hope you enjoy the fanfiction :D
Subject: How to fly
“The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” These are the very wise words of Douglas Adam who came up with a very interesting and, so to speck, very accurate way to how to fly. Now there are many different types of flying, both real and meteorically, such as for instance;
1. Mentally (For example, under the influence of drugs or in dreams)
2. Through achievements (‘flying through business’ ‘High flying results’ which can mean you are doing something doing very well, very fast or very easily)
3. And then, of course, actually flying. Lifting off the ground, defying gravity and souring off into the sky. This, is the type of flying I am going to discuses for the other two are so far reachable to humans.
Human can only achieve flying through the help of technology like airplanes, hot air balloons and paragliding. We lack the capability like birds do leave the ground without the help of metal boxes or wicker baskets. But with the right science and availability it is possible to achieve this, theoretically.
Step one, throw yourself at the ground.
Luckily this step is made very easy by the invention of gravity. Well I would say this step is easy but mostly only on your first attempt, for when you have failed to achieve flying and smacked your face very hard into some sort of pavement you tend to not want to try it again. But, all in all, the initial theory of this step is easy to come about and easy to achieve.
Step two, miss.
Now for all those people who have managed to not seriously injure themselves during the first process come onto the next step. This one, undoubtedly, causes many problems as to miss the floor when falling is increasingly hard and extremely improbable. So to achieve this second step you must miss the floor by accident.
Can you honestly say you have ever fallen over and not thought about how fast the ground happens to be coming towards you? It is human nature to put our hand out to stop our selves, or to try move into such a position that would break the least bones and so this makes the accidently missing the ground very hard. If you want to be able to fly then you must be able to get rid of that subconscious thought in your head the tries to protect you breaking yourself. Once this has happened you then need to work on distracting yourself.
If, while hurtling yourself at the floor, you are suddenly distracted by, say, a poster of the new harry potter movie, your house being robbed or with cat next door getting hit by a bus, will begin to hover. This is classed as flying.
Step three, remain flying
The trick to remain flying is to not think about it and let what ever happens happen. Your first attempt at flying will fail epically because as soon as you realize you are flying you will start to think about it, get excited, and come crashing back towards reality. If you manage to not think about it just remember you are as light as a feather, weightless, and because of this your thoughts need to also be weightless also. So lightly think ‘Oh, I think I would like to go to my grandmothers’ and you will start to bob lightly in the direction you wish to go. With a light heart do a back flip or a few swoops and dives and you shall be successfully flying.
And, for step three the most important think you need to know is DON’T WAVE. Do you know what happens when flying people wave? They go flying towards the person they have waved to at a very high speed and the outcome has never been good for either party.
Step four, landing.
When landing you need to remember you had a good run in life and not care too much about being permanently Brocken. Nobody really knows how to land when flying as out of the people who have ever managed to fly they have never really gotten round to landing on purpose. But the theory is just get as close to the ground as possible and think. This should do the trick and land you in a safe-ish manor.
Overall I have concluded that flying is a very tricky business and is to be taken to with the utmost thought. If you are not particularly inclined to want to try flying then I would suggest the metaphorical approach or just stick to metal boxes. Otherwise give it a go and I leave you with the words of Douglas Adams.

Hello there,
Okay, I know I haven't written a new post in a very long time, and I want to say it's because I have nothing to write about but that would be a lie... what’s been going on:
FAWM - http://fawm.org/
Febuary Album Writing Month...
So I'm a singer song writers and I decided to take the advice of Jess Morgan to have a go... the idea is to write an album of 14 songs over the month, no matter how crap it had to be done. Well, I managed to get 3 done :D and I am very proud of those 3 because they actually sounded like songs!!! I would show you them but there not recorded :( I will have a go at trying to do it on my computer so you can have a hear. If anyone out there happens to be interested in song writing I suggest next year to give it a go!
CREATIVE WRITING COUSRE
Yes, I am back to doing this again: D and it feels great to be back at college writing and be all-creative again! All the people are great and it really helps you find out a lot about your writing style and how to improve in your plot developments and characterisation. In last weeks course we looked at how to find your inner writing voice and that the rawness of it gets refined with more and more practised. We were told that you shouldn't really try to write like other people but just learn from how they do it and adapt that to fit us. With this it has inspired me to be more open and individual in the way I write.
MELIN FANFICTION
Due to the creative writing course I have decided that for the project we have to do over the 10 weeks I am going to write a MERLIN FANFCITON!!!!!!!!! I have already gotten started and am so far quite proud of what I have done. When I write the first chapter I will be sure to put it up on both here and fan fiction. Can't wait to get some response back for my work!
I have probably done much more but I can't think of anything else at the moment... Oh, and I have added a new fan fiction suggestion up so have a look when you have time. :D
