No One's POV

The Potters woke up to an old familiar surrounding..... The cupboard under the stairs. 

" I think we went a bit to far back in time," Harry said.

" No. You think," Lindsay said with quite a bit of sarcasm.

Lindsay then realized that she was wearing a watch that happened to have the date on it. The two Potters looked at the date to out the year was 1986 but Lindsay remembered what happened on August eighth of 1986. She thought quickly and realized that she knew how to get away from the Dursleys.

" Harry do you remember what happened," Lindsay asked.

" Yeah but I'd like to forget," Harry said with a shudder.

" We can use it to our advantage," Lindsay said.

" How," Harry asked.

" Just a little change," Lindsay said.

" Like what," Harry asked.

" Me running and getting help. I didn't get help last time," Lindsay said.

" You were five," Harry said.

" Yeah well now I'm a nineteen year old in my five year old body," Lindsay said.

" Fine," Harry said.

Then there was loud knocking that startled the two Potters.

" Get up. Get up! NOW," their aunt Petunia yelled as she unlocked the door.

They heard their aunt walk into the kitchen. The two potters then walked out of the cupboard and into the kitchen where they made the Dursleys a nice breakfast. They didn't get so much as a 'Thank You' but that was to be expected. Lindsay honestly didn't care cause she was to busy trying not to laugh at Dudley. She had forgotten how fat he was but she managed not to laugh cause she remembered what happened before her second year at Hogwarts when Dudley was put on a strict diet from his school nurse. She laughed one time when it was mentioned and never laughed about it again.... or at least not in front of the Dursleys.

Once breakfast was over Lindsay and Harry were given their chore lists. They went to their cupboard and got dressed and had a bit of food as Lindsay had a secret stash. The secret stash was hidden where Dudley wouldn't dare to look even though he wouldn't go into the cupboard anyway. When the two Potters finished eating they went and did their chores. Once their chores were done they went into the cupboard just waiting for what would happen.

All of the sudden they heard a loud 'Bang' from upstairs. Harry went outside of the cupboard and got into position. Their Uncle Vernon got there and saw Harry. Now Harry did know this was going to happen but that stop him from gulping in fear. Vernon Dursley started beating Harry. Lindsay took the chance and ran with tears in her eyes. Luckily for her one of the neighbors was outside. That neighbor also happened to be the one and only Mrs. Figg. Lindsay ran to her in tears.

" What's the matter child," Mrs. Figg asked noting the youngest Potter's distress.

" My Uncle. He's beating Harry," Lindsay said tears pouring down her face.

Now Mrs. Figg knew that those muggles were horrible but she didn't imagine them beating the two Potters.

" Now I'm sure-," Mrs. Figg started but was cut off by a cry of pain that came from the open door of number four Privet Drive.

Lindsay looked back at the house and then back at Mrs. Figg.

" Please Mrs. Figg," Lindsay begged tears streaming from her eyes.

Mrs. Figg lead the young girl into her house and called the police. She gave Lindsay some sweets to calm her down. The youngest Potter didn't really mind as she liked sweets but she still was worried about Harry. Though the sweets did help along with Mrs. Figg's cats. 

Maybe I should get a cat in this timeline, Lindsay thought after a bit of petting Sylvester. 

Lindsay had almost forgotten that these cats were named after Looney Tunes characters. It wasn't that bad for the cats, unless your name is Tweety. The cats reminded Lindsay of a conversation she had with Ginny. 

Flashback to 1996 in the old timeline 

Lindsay and Ginny were talking in the Gryffindor Common Room.

" Ok if you could have any pet what would it be and why," Lindsay asked.

" I think I'd want a cat cause the can help you when you're upset and their nice to snuggle with," Ginny said.

" And I'd name it Harry and I'd marry him and live happily ever after," Lindsay said impersonating Ginny's voice.

Ginny smacked Lindsay many times with a pillow. Lindsay tried to block the attacks but was having some troubles. Ginny stopped hitting Lindsay with the pillow and Lindsay was slightly giggling.

" Prat," Ginny mumbled.

" Awww. Love you too Gin," Lindsay said impersonating Harry's voice.

Ginny looked at her in shock.

" How do you do that," Ginny asked.

" Do what," Lindsay asked knowing completely what Ginny was asking. 

" You know impersonate other peoples voices," Ginny said.

" I go to the library and study hard for as long as I can. I suggest you do the same," Lindsay said impersonating Hermione's voice.

Both of them broke into fits of laughter. Then when they sobered up Lindsay sat and stared at the fire thinking of her answer.

" To be honest I don't know how I do it. When I hear someone's voice it just clicks there," Lindsay said.

Ginny nodded in understanding.

" Ok is it true," Ginny asked.

" Is what true," Lindsay asked.

" That you have like four tattoos," Ginny said.

" Yes it's true,"  Lindsay said.

" What are they and where are they," Ginny asked mischievously.

" There's one on my left shoulder that is a wolf paw print. I got it when I was twelve after I helped save you from the Chamber of Secrets. There's one on my left hip of a wolf and a fox. I got that one when I was thirteen. There's one on my back which is a Thunderbird. I got that one last year. Then finally there's the tattoo of a Golden Sharptooth on my left inner thigh. I got that one just this year," Lindsay said.

" I bet Nathan would enjoy the one on your thigh," Ginny said.

" Oh you bet correctly. He finds it completely and utterly sexy along with the bellybutton ring," Lindsay said.

" Wait have you two done it," Ginny asked.

Lindsay blushed and her hair turned to her original auburn color.

" No we haven't but we have come pretty close," Lindsay said.

" Uck. I didn't need to hear that," Ginny said.

" How are things with you and Dean," Lindsay asked.

" We fight a lot but I'm trying," Ginny said.

" I told you I thought Dean was a sleaze. I still don't get why you don't dump him. Sides Remus and Sirius told me that Potter males always fall for red heads. They called it the Potter curse," Lindsay said.

" Yeah but I don't think Harry got the curse I mean he dated Cho Chang," Ginny said.

" Cho and Harry didn't even last two months. In fact they didn't even last one month," Lindsay said.

" I doubt Harry will like me like that," Ginny said.

Lindsay noticed Harry, Hermione, Ron, Nathan, and Neville came into the Common Room. Her brother was staring at Ginny until he nearly tripped on his own two feet.

" You never know with Harry. Besides if you two did get together everyone would say 'Finally' and celebrate," Lindsay said.

" How will I know if I should stay with Dean or dump Dean for Harry," Ginny asked as Lindsay stood up.

Lindsay looked Ginny in the eyes and smiled.

" All you have to do is listen to your heart," Lindsay said pointing to Ginny's heart.

With that Lindsay Potter walked over to Nathan Jones and kissed him.

End of flashback.

Lindsay was brought back to the present or past or whatever you want to call it. Lindsay really couldn't make up her mind but her thoughts were interrupted by sirens. Mrs. Figg pulled Lindsay outside where they saw the cops. Lindsay saw her Uncle Vernon being hauled away  by the police. Soon an Ambulance came and took Harry. Lindsay didn't think that Harry would be hurt that bad.

Mrs. Figg took Lindsay to visit Harry for a bit. Afterwards she took the youngest Potter to a McDonald's. Now Lindsay remembered going to McDonald's a few times in the past timeline when she was in her teens. Mrs. Figg had gotten her a chicken mcnugget  happy meal with a pop to drink. Lindsay took a sad bite of her chicken after she dipped it in barbeque sauce. She was amazed by the taste. Mrs. Figg took notice of Lindsay's look.

" I'm going to guess you never have eaten here before," Mrs. Figg said.

Lindsay nodded to say that Mrs. Figg was correct. 

" Try some of your pop then," Mrs. Figg suggested.

Lindsay did try some of her pop. It tasted good but she had to plug her nose from the feeling of the fizz. Mrs. Figg let out a chuckle as she watched the five year old. Lindsay then had a French Fry, which she dipped in ketchup, her face lit up again. Now she knew why her godchildren and her children, when they were old enough, liked fast food so much.

I guess my taste buds were a bit nicer when I was five, Lindsay thought.

After Mrs. Figg and Lindsay finished at McDonald's they went to an ice cream shop. Lindsay got a kiddie cone with mint chip ice cream while Mrs. Figg had a waffle cone with cherry ice cream. Lindsay was in heaven. Now Mrs. Figg didn't say anything to Lindsay but she probably figured it out that she had talked to the officers about taking care of Lindsay until Harry got better. The officers understood and agreed to this arrangement.

When they got back to Mrs. Figg's house Lindsay yawned when they entered the house. Mrs. Figg carried the young girl into the guest bedroom and tucked the child in and swearing that she would take the child clothes shopping for proper clothes and other things she'd like to get the girl.

" Goodnight Grandma," Lindsay said without realizing it.

This shocked Mrs. Figg quite a bit but then she smiled and kissed Lindsay's forehead.

" Goodnight Lindsay," Mrs. Figg said.

The next morning Mrs. Figg woke up to see five year old Lindsay starting breakfast. Lindsay had heard Mrs. Figg come in so she turned and smiled.

" I know normal five year olds don't cook but I've been cooking since I was four and I wanted to thank you for your kindness and letting me stay here until Harry's better," Lindsay said.

Mrs. Figg understood the girls intentions and smiled at her. Hard to believe a girl so young was forced to cook when she was four but now was five.

 " It's fine dear. Do you need any help," Mrs. Figg asked.

Lindsay smiled and nodded but she told Mrs. Figg not to touch the Pancakes.

" I'm not trying to be rude about it I just know how to cook them really well," Lindsay said.

Mrs. Figg smiled and nodded. 

" How about I do the bacon and the eggs while you do the pancakes," Mrs. Figg suggested.

The young girl nodded and made the pancakes. When everything was done they set up the table. Then they sat down to eat. Lindsay watched Mrs. Figg take a bite of the pancakes. Mrs. Figg's face lit up and she looked at the little girl.

" Where did you learn to make this? This is apple pancakes right," Mrs. Figg asked.

Lindsay blushed and nodded.

" I learned to make apple pancakes at the Dursleys but it's my own special recipe. I've been talented with anything that has apples in it. My uncle would always request an apple dessert whenever people came over," Lindsay said taking a bite of her pancakes.

They enjoyed breakfast and Lindsay was surprised when Mrs. Figg took her shopping for clothes. The day went by and she visited her brother. They were now in a Dairy Queen eating their dinner. Mrs. Figg decided to bring up what Lindsay had called her the night before as she was actually forced to call her that today when shopping for clothes.

" Did you know you called me grandma last night when I tucked you in," Mrs. Figg asked.

The young Potter was embarrassed.

" I'm so sorry I didn't mean to," Lindsay said but was cut off.

" It's fine you can call me grandma," Mrs. Figg said.

" What about when Harry is better," Lindsay asked.

" You can always call me," Mrs. Figg said.

" Ok Grandma," Lindsay said.

And the rest of Lindsay's stay at Mrs. Figg's was that nice.
