Harry gazed out on the horizon, staring as the sun went down, and the colors on the sun-setting burst into the sky. His family was inside the house. Everything had been going smoothly; his kids were going to Hogwarts. He and Ginny would be all alone once again for another school year. Maybe he could get some stuff done, as things seemed to look up. Then a thought popped into his head. What would really make this moment better, this year better, than his parents would? Nothing threatened the Wizarding world anymore, therefore, what if he could just go back in time and...No, Hermione would kill him if she heard him doing such a thing. She did not have to know, though, neither did Ron. Harry could do it by himself; he worked at the Ministry anyway. All he would have to do is somehow obtain a Time-Turner, do the math for how many turns, and save his parents from Voldemort. That is it; there was nothing more to it. Then he would turn the Time-Turner forward to go back to his own time. That is all that was to it! It seemed excessively easy! Harry's heart raced, he was excited. What else could a person ask for who had never known his parents? The Sun was now almost completely down, and Harry was racing inside. Tomorrow the kids were gone, and it was the perfect time to do it!

Lily and James sat in their living room, baby Harry was sleeping in his crib. All things were perfect, well, and not perfect. They were still hiding from Voldemort, who wanted to kill poor Harry. The night was peaceful and the stars were out tonight, it was a sight to see. Suddenly there was a pounding on the door. Lily and James both looked at each other scared, what if it was Voldemort. James looked out the window; it was not The Dark Lord. Unless Voldemort grew black messy hair, with green eyes...wait a minute. They opened the door to see a man in his early thirties. The man looked rather much like James, but with Lily's eyes. It could not be. "You need to grab Harry and run right now! He is coming, run somewhere else. Go to Dumbledore or someone, NOW!" The man said rather quickly. "That's impossible, how could he find us! Peter wouldn't...” James started to say, but the man interrupted. "Yes, he would! He has been working with Voldemort for some time now! JUST RUN!" That did it; James ran up to wake poor baby Harry and carried him. Lily was confused and did not know what to do, she just kept staring at the man, though, and he looked so much like James. She turned her head to see if James needed any help. Once she looked back, the man was gone.

Harry ran from the site as soon as he told them of Voldemort coming. He smiled, happy with himself. Pulling out his time turner, he looked around. The night was so quiet. He was happy that his parents would be going away, and everything seemed to have gone well. He turned the time turner forward the same amount of times he did backward. Time rushed by him fast, faster, and faster with every day, every year. He thought of how he could go back to Ginny and his kids. Time finally began to slow down. He was back on the hill of his house and turned around. To his surprise, the house was not there. There was no house there, there was no Ginny calling him in for Lunch. What was going on? He began to walk around to see if this was a joke, she was playing on him. It was not a joke, what had he done?

Back at Hogwarts, the school was so distressed. There had just been another attack on the school by Death Eaters. Voldemort wanted something from Hogwarts. It was not the Sorcerer's Stone, and it was not Harry Potter. It was something...else. Since Harry went back and saved his parents, they never died. He never met Ginny, Ron, Hermione, or anyone else. He still went to Hogwarts, sorted into Gryffindor. Voldemort never touched, nor killed Harry. The prophecy never filled, Harry never married and had kids. The Wizarding World was once again threatened, or, like always, in trouble. How will Harry fix this? What will happen to the school and the kids there? Will Hogwarts fall, as the rest of the world has already? This truly is Sweet Insanity.
