general appearance

Harry is an average looking boy, if he didn't have the thin lightning bolt scar on his forehead. He looks a lot like his father, but has his mother's green almond shaped eyes. His hair is always messy, and unmanageable, but it probably would be manageable if he cared for it. His skin pigment is a nice milky Caucasian with a few spots of freckles, or a mole or two upon his skin. He wears a pair of round glasses on his face to help him see, much like his father's glasses, or what he knows from pictures. He isn't tall, nor short, but pretty much average. He isn't really skinny, or fat, but he is lean and somewhat thin.

overall personality,

Harry James Potter is a very athletic and talented person. While he does struggle with some spells, he is extremely powerful when he manages to cast, and is quick at fighting. Harry is a strong willed, yet stubborn person who would stick by their beliefs no matter what. The difference between good and evil to him, is what he believes and no one else. He tries to not be prejudice towards people, but finds himself towards Slytherins, given most of the Slytherins hates him. Harry won't hate a person if they don't hate him, unless they become annoying, and worship him for his scar. He doesn't want to be liked for his scar, or for something he couldn't prevent, but because of who he is.

Harry is a very family oriented person, which is a miracle given the way hew as treated by his family every summer. He considers the Weasleys family, and Molly and Arthur pretty much like parents, and would do anything to protect his friends and his 'family'. He hates the death of others, especially if he could prevent it. Through his whole life there were deaths, some he could've prevent and lives with the guilt that he could've done something, such as with Cedric or Sirius, and never wants that again. Harry doesn't want others to die for him, no matter the circumstances. He would rather sacrifice himself than let Ron, or Hermione, or any of his friends die.

Harry is horrible at Potions and miserably fails at it, same with any kind of book work. He doesn't know why, well Potions is most likely because of Snape, but in History his brain doesn't want to stay in his world and listen to Professor Binns. Harry hates having to write essays, read books, or pretty much anything in classes, but he tries his hardest, especially in DADA.

overall history,

Harry was born at the end of July to his two loving parents, Lily and James Potter. For only a few months were they happily safe and enjoying life, before Voldemort heard a prophecy that might concern him or another boy. His family went into hiding, where their secret keeper was Sirius Black. It was little known to anyone that just before October 31, the secret keeper changed to Peter Pettigrew. Voldemort received information on the Potter's whereabouts and set out to kill the boy, Harry. When Voldemort entered, his father hopped up and tried to hold of Voldemort as his mother took Harry upstairs having no other place to escape to. His mother stood in front of Harry protecting him from Voldemort. Voldemort gave her the choice of standing aside and letting him kill Harry, but she didn't. Once Lily was dead, Voldemort turned his wand onto Harry, but the curse backfired, seeming to kill Voldemort, part of Voldemort latched onto Harry, giving him powers of Voldemort. From that point on the little one year old boy had a scar that would make him famous for his whole life.

The small boy was taken from his old house in Godric's Hallow and brought to Private Drive to live with his aunt and uncle, and his cousin, Dudley. There Albus Dumbledore left a letter explaining to his aunt everything, though it is hard to believe all of it could be explained in the letter, but it sufficed. Harry was an odd boy in the neighborhood's opinion. He was a troublemaker and no good to be around. Dudley didn't help that, given Dudley would beat up any of those who try to be his friend, and no one wanted that. Harry found himself running from Dudley and his gang many times, one time somehow jumping onto a roof. On Dudley's eleventh birthday, Harry was finally allowed to go to the zoo with them, because Miss Figg was unable to care for him. There Harry had a lot of fun, until he got to the snake exhibit. He talked to a very interesting snake, who, to Harry's surprise, talked back to him. Soon Dudley rushed over knocking Harry away. Harry was mad, and focused on the glass, which suddenly disappeared, freeing the snake and having Dudley land in the snake's cage. Before Dudley could get out, the glass reappeared. His aunt and uncle were furious, and Harry was sentenced to his closet, which he had as a room. As the days neared Harry's eleventh birthday, letters seemed to arrive from no one. Determined Uncle Vernon drove them far away where the letters could not reach them. At the chime of midnight on Dudley's wand, Hagrid arrived, bearing news and a cake. Harry learned he was a wizard and was fascinated. He decided to go with Hagrid so he could attend the school of magic. After getting his supplies, and learning why everyone knew him *cough cough* Voldemort, he boarded the train where he met his best friend Ron. After that he was sorted into Gryffindor. During that year Harry had made his first arch enemy, Draco Malfoy, was challenged to a trap of a duel, smuggled a dragon out of the castle, and discovered the sorcerer's stone, which included a fight with Voldemort.

The following summer Harry was pretty much ignored, until his Uncle had visitors willing to buy drills from the porky man. That was when Dobby came, and showed that he had been intercepting Harry's letters, as well as reveal a threat at Hogwarts. Determined to keep Harry away Dobby sabotaged the visitors using magic, which Harry was blamed for. Harry was locked in his room, no word form the outside, until on his birthday, Ron and the Weasley twins came and rescued him in a flying car. Then Harry spent the rest of his summer, which wasn't too long, at the Burrow. As it turns out on a trip to Diagon Alley Harry found out about his new DADA professor to replace Quirrell, Lockhart, whom he didn't like from the beginning. When Harry was headed for the barrier, he and Ron were stopped by Dobby, unknown at the time, still determined to keep Harry away from Hogwarts. Instead they took the flying car, and wrecked in the whomping willow. Soon things started turning for the worst. People began becoming petrified, just like 50 years hence, when Tom Riddle framed Hagrid for the opening of the Chamber of the Secrets. Harry and Ron, with some help from Hermione, found out the location and headed there when Ginny was taken by the basilisk. They took along Lockhart where he caused a cave in, separating Ron and Harry. Harry went on and killed the basilisk, saving Ginny and probably everyone else, including him, because Tom said the snake was now going after him.

The next year, Harry found out about a man, possibly evil, named Sirius Black. At first Harry didn't know why everyone was so concerned about him coming after Harry, but then he learned he betrayed his parents, and was his godfather. After the 'killing' of Buckbeak, a black dog presented itself and attacked Ron, dragging him into the secret passage under the Whomping Willow. Harry and Hermione followed. There they learned of the true betrayer, Peter Pettigrew. Harry attacked Snape and escaped outside with the others, including the injured Ron. Suddenly Remus Lupin transformed into his werewolf self, forgetting to take the potion before he came out there. Sirius defended them, and Harry ran after them, after Peter escaped by transforming. A howl came from no where, and drove Remus off, leaving Sirius wounded by a lake. Harry followed, and so did the dementors. Harry tried to fend them off, but he couldn't. Right before he passed out, he saw a stag believing it was his father saving him. After waking up, he and Hermione used the time turner and went back in time, and saved Buckbeak and broke Sirius out before his soul was sucked away.

The next year Harry attended the Quidditch World Cup, which Bulgaria of course won. There it was just another disaster coming, the Death Eaters attacked, and set off the Dark Mark. The school year came fast and Harry found out something was happening, and wasn't suppose to know until it was announced. The Tri-Wizard Tournament was coming to Hogwarts, and apparently according to the cup Harry had to compete with the three others. Harry learned about the dragons, and upon realizing everyone but Cedric would know about them, Harry told the Hufflepuff. After an epic flight with the dragon, Harry won the golden egg as everyone else did. Soon the Yule Ball was coming up, and Harry asked Cho, his crush, who refused since she already was going with Cedric. Harry eventually found his date as one of the Patil twins. After the ball, Cedric gave him a hint on cracking the egg, which Harry took and cracked the egg. The only problem was breathing underwater. Neville helped out by getting him gillyweed so he could breathe... perhaps. In the end it worked, and Harry managed to come in second place in that task, because he saved two of the hostages, Fleur's sister and Ron. After that the next task came, and it was a maze. As Harry made his way through, he met up with Fleur, whom he saved by sending up red sparks, and Krum who was being controlled and attacking the others, instead of finding the cup. Harry and Cedric both grabbed the cup at the same time, which transported the two of them to the graveyard. Peter Pettigrew killed Cedric and trapped Harry, reviving Voldemort using the little creature he was reduced to, his father's bone, and Harry's blood. Peter also gave his hand, which Voldemort then replaced. The Death Eaters apparated there quickly after he called them, and then fought Harry. After the spells collided, Harry saw various people come out of Voldemort's wand. Taking their advice, Harry dived for Cedric's body and summoned the sup, transporting them back. Moody took Harry away, and then revealed he was a Death Eater, after of course Dumbledore barged in and stopped him from killing Harry. The real Moody was found and their lives went on.

The next year didn't start out great. Many didn't believe Voldemort was back and was calling Harry a liar, which really pissed him off. During the summer he save his cousin, who was grateful, though Dudley didn't show it, from two dementors. He was summoned for a hearing, and Harry went to the Grimmauld Place, where Sirius lived. They cleaned up the house, but Harry left to go to his hearing a few days later. Dumbledore spoke on his behalf and Harry was freed of all charges. Dumbledore didn't speak to Harry, which angered him even more. Through the year he dreamed about Voldemort, and Cedric dying, and it wasn't pleasant. Not only that, they had the worst teach for DADA ever, Umbridge. Needless to say Harry didn't have a good year. Near Christmas he saw Mr. Weasley get attacked in a dream, which came true. Harry was happy he was ok, and they had a good Christmas with Arthur Weasley there. As the year came to a close, Harry had a vision of Sirius being torutred, which he believed to be true. Harry and his friends rushed to the ministry only to find it was a trap to get a prophecy concerning Harry and Voldemort. The prophecy was smashed, Sirius Black died and Dumbledore fought Voldemort. Harry battled Voldemort as he tried to take control, and Harry won. The ministry officials hurriedly came, and saw Voldemort before he disappeared. They finally believed him.

As the next year started, Harry found himself waking up in a new world, one in the past. Harry saw people who were suppose to be dead, or in jail, or not at school, but there they were, a lot younger, but they were those he knew. Harry doesn't know what he was going to do. At the time his plan is to find others who have travelled back in time as well and find a way back to their right time, but if that isn't possible, he would try to blend in and not change history, though it is very tempting to warn them about Peter Pettigrew, so they don't die, and Harry would have his parents back when they get back to their own time. He knows that messing with time is bad, but he is uncertain of what he would do.

Notes: From Harry's Seventh Year

Harry had been skulking for awhile around the Burrow, not believing that Mad-Eye was really dead. Everything seemed to be spiraling away. First Sirius, then Hedwig and now Mad-Eye.

Harry peered around his room, having just finished what all Mrs. Weasley had told him to do. The Burrow seemed way too crowded for Harry's taste, and he didn't want to just sit there waiting for Ron to finally finish. It seemed that Mrs. Weasley was going to try and keep the three of them, him, Ron and Hermione, from planning. She just couldn't understand the importance of their mission. Harry would not be able to go to Hogwarts again, because that would endanger everyone there, and of course he wouldn't want that. It was just a matter of time until Voldmeort took over the school.

Harry finally got up and walked out of the house, dodging the ever persistent Mrs. Weasley, and began walking in the fields. Harry peered at the horizon as it began to darken and the sun began to fall in the sky. In Harry's periphery he spotted a glow of red hair. He turned around and saw Ginny walking, pretty far out. Curiously Harry followed her slowly and quietly. When Ginny sat Harry stopped for a second and just looked at her, such a beauty. Soon Harry walked up to her, trying to arouse her suspicions that he had followed her.

When Harry was a few feet from her, the rustle of the grass sounded beneath his feet. He saw Ginny draw her wand and Harry held his hands up like he was a prisoner caught trying to escape.

"Hello? Who's there?" Harry heard Ginny ask. Harry smiled and answered, after clearing his throat.

"Guess," Harry replied. He knew that Ginny probably would know who he was just by the sound of his voice, but then again it had been awhile since they spoke last, excluding the night he had come back.

Oh he and Ginny was such a complicated situation. He really was in love with her, but if anyone found out, and somehow a Death Eater knew, she could be in greater danger than she already was. Harry didn't want that to happen. He didn't want another person he loved to die for him, he just wouldn't be able to stand it, and if that person was Ginny, he wouldn't know what to do.

Harry smiled as she turned around to see him, even if he wasn't the best looking at the moment. He couldn't sleep the night before, because when he did, he dreamed about Mad-Eye, and it wasn't the best.

At least soon his birthday would come and they, him, Ron and Hermione, could leave, after the wedding of course. He didn't want Mrs. Weasley to murder him, because if she did it wouldn't work out well for anyone, except maybe the Death Eaters.

“I should have known.” Ginny had said tucking her wand in her pocket, “Are you following me, Potter?”

"Perhaps..." Harry replied smiling the most he had in a long time, "Ah! You caught me!" He chuckled and walked to where he was next to her.

He began wondering about what was to come. He would have to hunt the Horcruxes and he had no clue where they were. They would be walking into a room blindly searching for who knows what, and it could take months, even years. He just wasn't sure he was ready, but he had to be.

“What’s the matter? You haven’t seemed very you lately.” She asked him. Harry sighed. He really hadn't mostly shaken by Mad-Eye and the huge task him and his friends were about to endure. It really was a huge pressure to bear, and he wasn't sure he would succeed; he even thought he probably would fail.

"Stress has gotten the best of me I guess," Harry simply replied. He looked out at the field expanding far. He didn't want to worry her, or stress her out as well. Him telling her would just put more danger coming for her, and he couldn't bear that.
