Summary
“Harry, are you going to explain any of this?" Ron asked. "Or did you go totally senile in that fall?”
Harry didn't know where to start. He looked at the young teenager in front of him, his mind whirring. This was his best friend. He would always trust Ron with any big changes in his life, Harry decided. Regardless of how old he was.
And honestly, Harry needed help right now.
OR
While hunting horcruxes with Ron and Hermione, a freak accident lands seventeen-year-old Harry Potter back in his thirteen-year-old body. He has to tell someone, and who better to trust than his best friends? Don't worry, though: even this cannot tear their friendship apart.

Summary
A continuation of my fic Even This. Now that Ron, Hermione, and Ginny have joined Harry in 1993, it's time to actually grab hold of this opportunity to fix the future! Though their actions definitely grab the attention of...well, basically everyone. But changing the future is easier with help, right? What could possibly go wrong?
In this pseudo-sequel, each chapter will be told from the point-of-view of one of the non-time travelers. How long does it take Albus Dumbledore to notice that something weird is going on in his castle? How do Molly and Arthur react to the sudden change in their youngest two children? And so on, the story goes. The various POVs will slowly reveal the actions of the time travelers as they strive to save lives...and maybe the whole fate of the wizarding world, while they're at it.
