This will take place 19 years after the war. This is my first story so I hope you enjoy!! 
I couldn't stand her nagging. She was always yelling about something. Of course, she didn't scream her head off when Scorpius was getting in the train. But...that was also because we saw Potter. Well, I saw Potter. That stupid git took his three children to the platform. But, there was something different about him. An air of emptiness. Of course, we haven't seen each other in 19 years, so maybe it was a figment of my imagination. We exchanged a curt nod before sending our children to Hogwarts. After a quick goodbye to Scorpius, we started to head back. On the way to the parking lot, Astoria noticed me thinking of Harry.
"What is the matter, love? You act as there is something you wish to do."
But I never heard her. I was too busy picturing his handsome face, staring at me. I shook my head instantly, earning a worried look from my wife. I yelled at myself I'm not gay! Absolutely not. I have a wife and a child for crying out loud! Unfortunately, she thought I was ignoring her, so she started yelling but then sank into a coughing fit. Her sickness is getting worse. After giving me a look sharper than a knife, she apparated home without me. Considering that I could always apparate home myself, I decided to browse the shops for a little while.
Walking past shop after shop, I noticed this little place called "Mystique Mysteries." I walked in and the first thing I noticed was this old man who looked so wispy, the wind could blow him away. All around him were different trinkets of differing colours, shapes, and sizes.
"Ah, m'dear boy, I was wondering when you would come." He whispered
He walked around the counter and looked straight into my eyes. It was like he was seeing into my soul.
"I know what just you need, wait here."
After saying this he walked into the back room. I heard shuffling and saw boxed fly past him. After hearing an "Aha!" he walked back out.
"I believe this is what you desire."
"What do you mean?"
But as I looked closely at the item, I realized it was a time turner.
"Is this some sort of joke? All time turners are gone, this must be fake," I scoffed. 
However, hope bloomed despite me trying to be angry. The old man simply looked amused by my words. 
"This isn't any ordinary time turner. You see, it works exactly the same, however, you jump back into your body and it has no limit."
"What could I use this for? I am happy with what I have now."

"You say that now, but if you take my offer, you shall soon see what makes you happy."

Instantly, I thought of how wrong it went with Harry.

"I'll take it. How much?"

"No need to pay, dear boy."

After that, I shook his hand and walked out. After a few steps, I turned around to ask him what his name was, but found that the shop had disappeared like it was never there in the first place.

Odd.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tiredly apparated home, and was greeted by a cold look from Astoria. Ignoring her, I trudged up the stairs into an empty guest room. I took the time turner out of my pocket, and inspected it closer. It certainly did look real, but I hardly believe it. I pondered which day I should go back to, to test it out, when suddenly it popped into my mind: 5th year! It may sound ridiculous, but I don't want to get him in trouble and expose the D.A. So, I hesitantly turned the dial and with a small Swoosh! I was walking in the middle of the Hogwart's Express with Crabbe and Goyle. Startled, I abruptly stopped walking, causing Crabbe to run straight into my back with a muffled oomph!

"Oi! Why'd you stop?" shouted Seamus behind me.

"Piss off," I snapped, and he backed down.

When we sat down, Goyle asked what was wrong and replied with a soft "Nothing." I couldn't believe it worked, I thought it was all a hoax. Oh god, Harry Potter is here. Now. 15 year old Potter, with his stupid smile, and bright green eyes that can soften when he laughs. Stop it! You're not gay for that idiot git, Potter. You're not only heterosexual, you are the heterosexual Slytherin Prince.
