Summary
When the killing curse struck Harry, he didn't die. Instead he found himself thrown into a time where he had a chance to stop Voldemort from wreaking havoc on his life once again. Harry set off to find the horcruxes, trying not to change the timeline before their destruction. Along the way he meets some unexpected allies.
Note
So this has been sitting in my docs for over a year now. I come back to it every now and then because I just like the story idea so much. Huge thanks to Face Death in the Hope of for massively inspiring this fic. Writing this was sorta of a coping mechanism to deal with that fic being abandoned.Harry doesn't meet his parents for quite some time, but I promise you he does meet them. I live for those scenes where Harry's like, "yep, I'm your son from the future and I'm here to prevent your death." They have to have proper build up and for the first ten or so chapters, Harry's entirely focused on horcrux hunting without altering the time line too much.He's not going to pretend to be someone else though and people are going to notice how similar he looks to James. I hate it when time travel fics try to brush the whole harry looks like his dad thing aside.Anyways, hope you enjoy this fic. I have 20,000 words written but it's still a WIP. Also if anyone is interested in betaing this story please comment because I am currently looking for one.
