Harry Potter and his many Time Traveling Wives
Harry starts Hogwarts but every other girl knows him from a possible future where they married him. And have traveled back in time to be with him again.
Harry Potter and His Many Time Traveling Wives.
Losing a husband is difficult, especially when it wasn't at a ripe old age. Witches across the span of the multiverse hatched schemes to return to their husband. In the past and fix the mistakes they made. Said husband for these many witches? Harry Potter, fresh to start his first year of Hogwarts.
Details:
This one is an odd mix of story beats I've seen before. Mostly the women in Harry's life make the harem for him, tied with time traveling family members. Or in this case the wives going back to have more time with the boy who lived. And all their plans working against each other but somehow perfectly allowing the cannon events to progress as normal.
The story would start on September first for Harry's first year and he immediately runs into Hermione. Who talks and guides him through to the platform. And by the time he gets to Hogwarts he's talked to more girls than everyone before that day. And he's very confused by it all. The sorting hat knows what's going on and jokes about him going to have a good life.
Going forward the girls figure out that each other is also a time traveler as well before any rivalry quickly settles along house lines. Several characters make more friends as they've learned from their past experiences. Hermione is more relaxed and forms some deeper relationships with her dormmates. She while disliking Ron actually doesn't bend over for his attitude and starts to help him without being used by him. Harry has a lot more friendships than before and is more open with everyone.
The first book happens about the same but the girls are quick to get the stone before Quirrel can attempt to take it. Sirius is freed as they handle wormtail quickly into the year. Second year Harry is in a better position when it comes to Dobby and several house elves help him get around Dobby's attempts. And he is better able to explain that letting the monster out is going to get people hurt no matter if he was there or not. But Ginny being one of the time travelers too doesn't write in the diary and instead it's used quickly to find the diadem and both are sent to be freed of the horcrux by Gringots. The locket is also found during the summer here and removed of its Horcrux.
The diadem is returned and it's given to the school as a gift. The sword and basilisk are dealt with safely and they gain a weapon to destroy the ones that need it. It's slow as they don't know if Bellatrix has put the goblet into the vault yet. But they explain it during the summer before third year and it's removed. Without Sirius Harry's third year is actually rather peaceful if hectic with every girl still trying to date him in equal measure. Including Aurora trainee Tonks, who for multiple reasons is the oldest person he would be getting with. She helps tackle the ring and it's removed from the table.
Fourth year they would train Harry to survive better and complete each task more efficiently. They also discover Fleur and Gabrielle have also time traveled and are thrilled to learn about everyone else. Voldemort is resurrected via Crouch as the plans have changed. During the fight Nagini is killed and Voldemort is vulnerable once Harry is freed of the soul fragment. Due to the actions of everyone leading up, most of the death eaters and the helpers who joined afterwards are stopped and he's in a bind.
It's during the summer before year 5 that Harry is freed and confronts Voldemort, ending him once and for all. Finally free Harry enjoys the next few years at Hogwarts without much issue. The epilogue of Harry and the harem dropping off all the kids for Hogwarts with him having enjoyed life after everything and feeling all is at peace.
Snippets:
“Looking for the platform?” A voice came, surprising Harry who was just about to ask a guard. Turning he saw a bushy haired girl about the same age as him smiling. Her front teeth were bigger than most but something about them fit her.
“Yes uh…” he started about to say which one but was suddenly worried that she might just be another muggle.
“I'm going to Hogwarts too, don't worry, we got told how to get on by a professor there when she came and explained everything. Oh and I'm Hermione Granger.” The newly introduced girl said her soft brown eyes seemed excited to see him. “These are my parents Dan and Emma Granger.”
“Harry Potter, thanks. The man who helped I think forgot to explain how, when he helped me." The ravenette gave a soft smile.
“I'm sure it was just a mistake, come on mum and dad. You're gonna want to pay attention to this.” Hermione said, leading them to the archway between Platform 9 & 10. “The idea is to go straight at it. Once you do it once you get the idea on how it works but if you're scared or not paying attention it won't let you in. So might be you want to run at it, don't worry Harry we'll be right behind you.”
The boy nodded looking at the brick column and started running at it. Willing himself to go through it, reaching it he closed his eyes and felt almost a fabric ripple over him and he opened his eyes. A brilliant scarlet engine with gold lettering was idly puffing steam and smoke as the platform was filled with parents and students. Blinking he continued forward, eyes darting around seeing all the different people.
“It really is something isn't it?” Another voice came from his right. “My parents tried to describe it but nothing matches seeing it for the first time.”
Harry looked at the girl, her long blonde hair tied in a large ponytail going over her left shoulder. Bright blue eyes that gave her face an almost regal look about her. “Yes it is,” he replied.
“Daphne Greengrass heiress to the Greengrass family,” she said doing a light curtsey.
“Harry Potter,” he said, feeling the need to bow in return.
“Shall we find a compartment?” Daphne asked.
“Sure.”

“What do you mean the stone was already gone!” Hannah Abbott yelled in shock.
“Gone, it's likely another coven was working on how to deal with it all and tackled it before us.” Susan Bones replied, rubbing her eyes. “We thought the first night after everyone was back would be soon enough, but if I had to guess. Slytherin or Gryffindor probably took it, but maybe Ravenclaw did. The fact it did what Harry said it would once the stone was there. Means Dumbledore put the stone in there.”
“Hopefully they'll just hold onto it and not use it, but I wouldn't put it past the Slytherins to make a few potions as last ditch healing.” The blonde thought tapping her chin with her quill.
Meanwhile in Ravenclaw Tower a different coven was looking at the deep ruby red stone. “Did anyone see you?” Penelope asked the two other claws.
“No, we did it the night before. No one remembered I wasn't here last time.” Su Li said, “And I'm still surprised how easy it is, the trio definitely was getting tested by Dumbledore.”
“He makes us look bad, I know it was just for drawing out Voldemort. But did he really think Fluffy was going to be a great first gate?” Cho Chang sighed.
“It was lucky he could be put to sleep like in the myths.” the soon to be Perfect said.
“And no butterfly effects have happened.” The second year replied. “The fact it hasn't happened is shocking.”
“It's only been a few months, that's probably coming. Ew.” The first year said her face scrunching in disgust.
“What?” The other two asked.
“My mind went to the idea of what if Bellatrix was also in our little club.” Su said, shaking her head of the image.
“Gross.” Was uttered by all three of them.

Harry looked at the Goblet of Fire expecting the worst given how the first two years of his school career have gone. Hermione and Ginny held his hands as if they sensed his discomfort. Watching the crowd smile as Cedric walked to the room he hoped that his fears were unfounded. And it was the goblet turning blue again that sank his dreams.
“Harry Potter!” Dumbledore called out.
Standing quickly he could feel the eyes of the crowd on him as he walked to the door. He could tell that his girlfriends had expected it, given their looks. But some looked upset with the others, hopefully at the meeting tomorrow they would explain just how exactly they knew. Even Fleur looked at him with sad eyes once he entered. He could almost hear a “Not again,” from her.
