Harry Potter - Three to Backstep by Sinyk

Hey Guys, this story is written by Sinyk on fanfic net. This is not my work. The only reason I am putting this up is because someone has copied Sinyk's entire work word-for-word on this site (claiming it as his own: Harry Potter: Flashforward), releasing it at a snail's pace, and is also making money off of it on patreon. Pisses me off to no end. And yes, it's the same guy as the other story.

Disclaimer: The Harry Potter universe belongs to the proverbial Duchess of Magic, JK Rowling, Scholastic, Bloomsbury, Warner Bros and some other high falutin' companies. No matter how much I whine about not owning anything related to the HP universe, other than a few fanfic plots, I do not profess to own - and would never dream of making any money off - JKR's wonderful world... Damn it!

I've decided to write a story that combines the challenges of Reptilia28 and CoastalFirebird into one story. Here are the two challenges:

CHALLENGE:

Challenge issued by "Reptilia28" - Originally on verbatim

STORYLINE:

* Harry is killed at 17 during a fight with Voldemort. He's sent to his Death's office (explained later) and finds out that this isn't the first time that this has happened.
* Harry's Death (who can have a human name) is mad at his arrival. Apparently, people dying before their time is a black mark on the various Deaths' records, and Harry is getting perilously close to getting this particular one fired.
* When Harry asks what was supposed to have happened, Death goes off on a rant saying how he was supposed to have killed Voldemort, found his soul mate ("Some Granger girl...") and lived to be a centennial age. But since Harry keeps getting into life-threatening situations for one reason or another, he keeps dying before that happens. Harry is surprised about the soul mate part.
* Death gives Harry a paper to sign that allows him to retain his memories (the previous times, he wasn't given this option for some reason). Harry is deposited to a previous time of the writer's choosing.
* Eventually, Harry gets it right. He kills Voldemort, gets the girl, and lives to a ripe old age of whatever. And Death doesn't get fired.

REQUIREMENTS:

* Harry had to have died at least three times before this one.
* The memory keeping contract must be included.
* Death must refer to Hermione as "some Granger girl" when Harry's soul mate turns up in his rant.
* Obviously, must be H/Hr.
* Have fun.

OPTIONAL:

* Dumbledore's manipulations can be a factor in Harry's premature demises

CHALLENGE:

Challenge issued by "CoastalFirebird"

STORYLINE:

* Harry has to have died before his time it can be anywhere between books 5-7
* His Grim Reaper will give him one last chance to make things right. What he was supposed to do is this:
1. Kill Voldemort
2. Save Sirius (Meaning he does not die)
3. Fall in love with Daphne Greengrass
4. And save as many students as he can, except for a main character of your choosing i.e.: Cedric.
* His soul mate is Daphne Greengrass and Ginny was dosing him with love potion, and her with repulsion. How this is achieved is up to you (use of Dobby or another elf is okay).
* Lastly emancipate himself from the Dursley's before the start of sixth year

OPTIONAL:

* You may do with Ron what you will, but Hermione must remain his friend.
* Dumbles is at your disposal to be good or flat out debauched.
