Chapter Text
When Harry first realized that he was back in his first year body he didn't know how to react. He sat there still for a few minutes bevore hr broke down screaming and crying into pillows so the Dursleys woudn't hear.
He couldn't go threw all that againg.
He thought that maybe... in this life time.... he could try to have an at least somewhat normal school live....But at the same time... maybe he could change things for the better. It would be selfish not to... he needed to change things if he was here alredy. He couldn't just sit here and do nothing no matter how he felt about it. Thats what he was going to do, change things for the better. At worst he wasn't going to lose so many peopel again and at best he would prevent Voldemord from ever coming back in the first place.
When Ron first realized that he was back in his first year body he almost cried seeing Fred. Seeing your dead brother again alive and younger felt almost like a fever dream. He locked himself in his room for the rest of the day not even coming out for dinner, breaking down in his room.
After a while he calmed somewhat down and made a decision. He would change things.
He made a list:
- keep his friends and Familly alive
-prevent Freds death
-make sure Percy doesn't leave the family
- expose Peter
-become a better friend and brother
-try to make it so Harry can have a somewhat normal childhood
Sounds easy enough right?
When Hermione first realized that she was back in her first year body, she couldn't belive it. She pinced herself. She began to pace around her room. this coudn't be happening!
It took a while but after some time but eventually she knew what she needed to do, learn even more, be an even better witch than she alredy was, to keep her friends alive and destroy the horcruxs to prevent Voldemort from comming back.
When Neville first realized that he was back in his first year body, he... he sat still in his room for hours. He spent days in a daze bevor it fully hit him. He was in the past. knowing what will happen... well at least somewhat, he made a decision he would become the best version of himself and prevent Who-most-not-be-named from coming back. He would become even braver and make his parents proud. Maybe even his grandma woud be proud...
When the sorting day came. They went in thinking they knew what would happen.
When Hermione was called and sat on the stool she wasn't nervous, she knew what would happen but she pretended to be. After all she didn't want to come off as suspicious.
"What an interesting mind" the hat said out loud as it touched Hermiones head. She froce.
'Don't worry I will keep your secret'The hat said'to her in her mind 'Though with how much more you want to learn this time around... I think I can't put you in Gryffindor this time.'
"Ravenclaw!" The hat screamed. Hermione stunned slowly walked over to the Ravenclaw tabel. This wasn't how she had plande this. How could she haven been so foolish and forgotten to take the sorting hat into acount?!
Neville didn't know what to think. Hermione in Ravenclaw? This didn't happen last time. she had been in Gryffindor. Why was this different now? would he be sorted into a different house as well?! Bevor he his mind could spiral he was called.
Alredy?!
Neville slowly walked forward and sat down, pracing himself for what the hat would say.
"Hmmm..." The hat said
'Looks like I was right to place you in Gryffindor. So I see no reason to change that.'The hat whisperd to Neville bevore yelling out "Gryffindor!"
Neville breathed a sigh of relief, got up and made his way over to the Gryffindor tabel.
Harrys mind was racing, Hermione was not sorted into Gryffindor... he knew that it had been between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor with Hermione but that she was actually sorted into Ravenclaw. ... Would he be sorted into Slytherin then?! No.. that couldn't...
Than his name was called. Harry swallowed hard. Walking to the stool and sitting down.
Closing his eyes as the hat was placed on his head.
'Harry... your ambition and determination to chage things are-'
"Your going to place me in Sytherin arn't you?"
'Yes but only because I think it will benefit you.'
"Slytherin!" the hat called out
Harry almost cursed out loud but stooped himself, he stood up 'Why dose everyone want me to suffer?'He thought to himself as he made his way to the Slytherin Tabel. who didn't seem to be too happy with him.
Now only Ron was left. Harry and Hermione weren't sorted into Gryffindor... he coudn't help but worry, not about Hermione necessarily but more so about Harry. Maybe he could convince the hat to sort him into Slytherin as well? Maybe he could- but bevor he could think more he was called.
His mind was still racing as he sat down on the stool.
"Oh another one." The hat said.
'You want to become a better brother and mainly better friend because of what happen with Harry in you fourth and last year don't you?'
'Wait how do you know?!'
'While it's nice you want to stay by Harrys side. I have a house in minde from wich you can learn more from.'
"Hufflrpuff!" The hat yelled bevore Ron could argue.
As the next day came the two boys got draged to the most quiet corner of the library by Hermione.
"So it looks like we all are stuck in the past" She said queitly.
Harry and Ron looked at her in suprise,than at each other and then back at her.
"Wait so you" Ron points at Hermione "And you." he points at Harry "Are also..."
Hermione nods "Yup."
"OH thank merlin!" Harry said a littel louder than he should bevor burrying his head in his hands. "god...I thought I was alone..."
Ron placed a hand Harrys shoulder...
Hermione sighed and sat down next to the two of them. "Well looks like its us three against the world again..."
"umm..."
The three looked up. Neville slowly came out from behinde the shelf.
"Four actually. I remember too."
