    Summary

    When an aged Harry Potter arrives at King's Cross after his second and natural death, he is handed a pamphlet promising him The Next Great Adventure. Flatly refusing to board any Onward Train that won't guarantee him simple peace, Harry finds himself shunted back in time to 1989: a cranky old coot in his nine-year-old-body. Stuck, he decides to make the best of things, and to right his future before it screws him over again.

    Once back at Hogwarts, though, Harry's plans are abruptly altered when his old friend Neville Longbottom informs him that he is actually part of a cross-dimensional rescue team on a mission - a mission that will not only prevent the local 2nd Wizarding War, but will grant the local Neville's parents, Alice and Frank, the chance to have the happy-ever-after that no version of them, in any world, ever received.

    A mission that might actually have gone as planned if the local version of You Know Who hadn't been listening in at exactly the wrong moment... and if Harry himself hadn't been quite so overwhelmed at the thought of reliving his own destiny as a hero...
