Goodbye Alice in Wonderland

Chapter II


When he saw James again, Harry was so going to ground his eldest son. The last thing he remembered was a bright light then he suddenly woke up in the Burrow. The biggest shock in his life came when he looked at his body and realized he was a twelve years old boy. He had return to the past!

Harry didn’t have time to ponder much because Mrs. Weasley came to wake him and Ron, telling them that they better get ready because they had to go to Diagon Alley early. That meant he was going to see his husband soon because he knew he and Lucius were also involved in the accident.

This time, Harry didn’t make a mistake and arrived in Diagon Alley perfectly, unlike his, err, previous life, where he landed in Knockturn Alley. Two hours later, after buying new robes, wands, and potions ingredients, the Weasleys and he walked into Flourish and Blotts. Just like the last time, Gilderoy Lockhart was signing autographs for his new book Magical Me… and having photos taken for the Daily Prophet. Hmm… that meant he and Lucius would meet for the first time, supposedly.

"It can't be… Harry Potter." The man exclaimed to the crowd as he tried to grab Harry's collar, "You and me are worth the front page."

Things were pretty much the same as the last time with the only exception being that Harry didn’t bother to buy any of his Defenses against the Dark Arts book this year. He finally could escape from Lockhart when Draco Malfoy made appearance.

"Ah, Harry Potter…can't even go into a book shop with out it making the front page." The blond boy drawled.

"He didn't ask for any of that." Ginny hissed back, defending him.

"Look Potter! You've got yourself a girlfriend.” Draco said with glee.

"Now, now Draco. Play nicely.” Lucius Malfoy said as he showed up. “Mr. Potter! Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last. Forgive me...your scar is legend. As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you."

He searched Lucius’ face but found nothing. The man was always a master in masking his emotion so Harry decided to respond exactly the same he had said years ago. “Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murderer.” He said, glaring at Lucius for the effect.

Lucius sneered. ”You must be very brave to mention his name. Or very foolish.”

”Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.” Hermione interrupted them.

Lucius turned his attention. ”And you must be Miss Granger. Yes, Draco has told me all about you. And your parents. Muggles, aren't they?” He looked at the corner where Arthur Weasley was busy talking with Mr. and Mrs. Granger before focused back to Ron, who was standing next to Hermione. “Let me see. Red hair... vacant expressions... tatty second hand book... you must be the Weasleys.”

All of the commotion had attracted Mr. Weasley attention. ”Children, it's mad in here. Let's go outside.”

”Well, well, well. Arthur Weasley.” Lucius drawled.

”Lucius.” Mr. Weasley said in clipped tone.

”Busy time at the Ministry Arthur, with all those extra raids? I do hope they're paying you overtime.” He reached into Ginny’s cauldron and pulled out a battered copy of A Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration. “Though, judging by the state of this, I'd say not. What's the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don't even pay you well for it?”

”We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy.”

”Clearly. Associating with Muggles. And I thought your family could sink no lower.” Just as Mr. Weasley looked like he was ready to punch Lucius, the man turned to him. “Well, Mr. Potter. Living with the Weasleys, again. Do tell me, what are you going to do with the person responsible for your current predicament?”

The question was truly a godsend for Harry. He was searching for a way to find if the Lucius in front of him was the Lucius he knew without raising a suspicion when the man solved the problem. Harry didn’t miss the hint Lucius gave him there. “That’s none of your concern. However when I meet the said person again, you can be sure that I’ll ground him to the day he is off to Hogwarts.” He replied, looking straight into Lucius’ eyes. Ron and Hermione looked at him, puzzled by his answer but Harry ignored them.

“Wise choice, Mr. Potter.” Lucius then straightened his body and said abruptly. “Come Draco! We haven’t had all day. There is no need to waste time with these kinds of people.”

“Yes Father.” Draco replied obediently.

This time when Lucius dumped back the book into Ginny’s cauldron, Harry saw with great relief that there was no diary slipped behind it. Lucius brushed past Harry and he felt a new weight in his pocket. He couldn’t wait to be left alone so he could find out what Lucius had given him.

When he finally had a chance, Harry quickly searched inside his pocket and found a small pouch. It contained a small brooch inside. It was a Portkey. And Harry knew the password to activate it, given the fact that Lucius had given him the same portkey in the future. He arrived in a very familiar living room seconds later.

“Welcome back.”

He spun around and saw his husband. “Lucius!”

The man leaned down to kiss his forehead. It was so weird because now he didn’t even reach Lucius’ shoulder. After all, he was only a few centimeters shorter than Lucius when he was in twenty. “How could you get the house?” he asked.

“I am Lucius Malfoy. I get whatever I want.” Lucius replied arrogantly. “I shall of course present you something else for our wedding gift.”

Harry rolled his eyes. “If your ego were bigger than this your head wouldn’t fit through the door, you know.” He was actually impressed. He only arrived last night so he would assume it was the same for Lucius, so for him to buy their London house, which cost millions pound sterling, only in span of few hours was quite a feat. Not that he would ever admit it.

Lucius raised his eyebrow. “Is that a way to say to express your gratitude? I wonder why I married you.”

“That’s because you love me.” He replied cheekily.

Lucius smirked. “Now, who is the one with big ego Harry?” Without waiting for answer, he pulled Harry to his lap.

“Lucius,” he began. “Can we get back to the future?”

“Unfortunately, we can’t. Once we arrived here we can only move forward.”

Actually Harry knew about it. He just didn’t want to admit the truth to himself. “When I see James, again he’ll be grounded until the day he leaves for Hogwarts.” Any other person would have freaked out if they woke up in the past and had to re-live their life again. But he was Harry Potter. Bizarre things always seemed to happen to him. “I see that you seem awfully calm about the whole thing,” he commented.

“Knowledge is a power, Harry. This time we know what’ll happen and we shall use the knowledge for all its worth.”

“You mean syou’ll use it for your own good,” he said dryly.

“Certainly,” Lucius confirmed.

At first, Harry wanted to go back to the future, back to his children and life. The life he knew and had. But now, having to face the fact that he had to live his life once again, he strangely didn’t mind. He couldn’t care less if he had to defeat Voldemort again if that meant he could save his godfather. Not only Sirius, but also Remus, Tonks, Dumbledore, Fred, Cedric, Dobby, and many more innocent lives that were killed during the third wizarding war. He could try to save them all this time.

“You’re right.” He stated. The more he thought about it the more excited he became. He already knew what would happen. With the knowledge he could change the history to make a better future. “Where is the diary anyway?” he asked suddenly.

“I have it with me right now,” Lucius indicated to the black box on the table.

“Now we only need to destroy it.” He replied.

Lucius moved to the second box on the table and opened. Harry saw three crystal vials containing black liquid. “What are those?” he asked curiously.

“Basilisk venom.”

It took Harry a second to process it. “Aren’t you resourceful?” he asked. “Where did you get it?”

All he got was a smug smirk from his husband.

One vial of basilisk venom later and the Horcrux inside the diary was destroyed. That meant no monster attacking students at school and that equaled to one stress free year at Hogwarts. What else to do? Freeing Sirius from Azkaban was obvious choice but he needed to have solid plan first. Ah, yes. He remembered now. “Lucius, you have to free Dobby.”

Lucius looked at him and finally relented. "Dobby!" The man snarled.

Instantly the little elf appeared "Yes Master?" He cowed. Then Dobby saw Harry there and his eyes widened. Harry, on his part, waved and smiled at the confused elf.

Lucius took out a handkerchief and handed it to the elf. "I give you clothes."

Dobby stood stunned on the spot.

“Dobby, are you alright?” he asked the elf worriedly. “Listen, Lucius gave you clothes. You’re a free elf now.” He said, remembering the epitaph he carved on a flat rock he placed on Dobby’s burial mound.

“But…but…” the elf looked at him and Lucius confusedly.

“Don’t worry, okay? See, we have destroyed the diary,” Harry pointed at the badly burned diary on the table. “So I’m safe now.” Then he added. “Lucius has helped me here.”

"Harry Potter freed Dobby!” the elf cried loudly. “Harry Potter is the greatest wizard in the world! Harry Potter made bad Master into good Master!”

He almost laughed at the last part although Lucius sneered in annoyance. “Dobby,” Harry crouched down so he had the same eye line as the elf. “I know that you’re a free elf now but I want to ask if you want to work for me."

“Harry Potter wants Dobby to work for him?" the elf asked in disbelief. “Oh! Harry Potter is so kind!”

“I want your help to take care this house for me. Also, I might call you if I need your help. Could you do that Dobby?”

“Yes Harry Potter! Sir! Yes! Dobby will work hard!” Dobby nodded vigorously.

Harry smiled. “Thanks Dobby. Now, as for your salary. How about ten galleons a week and time off when you want it.”

“But Harry Potter Sir! That is too much!” Dobby said, eyes bulging out. “Dobby can work for free!”

“Well, you can buy thing you want if you have money. You can buy wool to make socks.”

“Dobby loves socks!” the elf exclaimed. “Harry Potter Sir knows about Dobby! Harry Potter is truly the greatest wizard ever in the world!

He sighed when the elf finally left. Sure, he was glad about seeing Dobby again but the elf’s enthusiasm was too much sometime.

Lucius on the other hand still looked irritated. “Useless elf!”

“Lucius,” he said sharply. “Dobby saved my life. He stood by me until the end. I would appreciate it if you don’t do that. Besides, you’re only annoyed because he attacked you.”

“It seems that you have gained yourself another worshipper,” the man drawled.

Ignoring Lucius, he said. “I’m going to free Sirius.”

“So much to do for the Chosen One.”

"Do you know what Remus said to me, at the edge of the forest?” Harry asked, indicating to the moment where he used the Resurrection Stone. “He said that he was sorry too. Sorry that he would never know his son...but Teddy would know why he died and he hoped that Teddy would understand he was trying to make a world in which he could live a happier life.” He took a deep breath. “One day I’ll see James, Al, Lily and Teddy again. And that day will come. I’ll make sure about it. But now, we have to make a plan.”

For a long time Lucius merely stared at him then he moved to squeeze Harry’s hand. “The future that we know will come.”

“Yes.” Then he sighed. “But now I have to return to the Burrow before they start looking for me.”

“Can’t have them waiting, can we?”

Harry took out the Portkey and activated it. “For James, Al, Lily and Teddy.” He said determinedly before he was gone.

“For our children.”
