A complicated, redo-style time-travel story with a lousy summary. Not Harry-centric; often focuses on original and peripheral canon characters. Starts in 1989.
Sybill Trelawney has nightmares, and goes to talk to a friend about them.
5OriginalThe next day.

3OriginalDealing with Scabbers. This is, I think, the part where the set-up is over and the body of the story begins.
5FunnyStarting in 1990 gives me the luxury of writing with Fred, George, and Charlie at school together. Also some characterization of Oren and the Slytherins.
3OriginalTonks tries to send mail to Harry. This is sort of a point of no return for the story. Note the warnings! [Y] is not quite right, but close enough. I don't think I can claim an overall PG, eithe...
3OriginalTrelawney in the classroom. You didn't think I had forgotten about her, did you? 'R' for the chapter because I'm not sure what warnings to use for 'distressing Divination lessons'.
4OriginalOren in the library, then reading the paper at the Slytherin table gets out of hand. [Y] because I don't know what else to put.
