Ebony becomes so angry at this perceived betrayal[e] that she runs crying into the Forbidden Forest, where she is approached by Lord Voldemort. Voldemort, speaking in faux-archaic English, gives her a gun and demands that she kill Vampire.
There is also a cameo by a gothic Marty McFly, who gives Ebony a black DeLorean time machine able to transform into an iPod, allowing her to travel forward in time.
Time travel is mostly used as a deus ex machina to solve a problem a writer has written themselves in. Like in HP, the time travel bit is only for students to learn more, not to erase attacks by Voldemort, because reasons. In other words, they could have stopped the death if Harrys parents, but did not want to, because reasons.
I get that if used well and as a consistent plot device, it can work. But in HP, its simply a one-oft drama device. Its boring and lazy writing.
Edit, ah, I see
My Immortal is popularly regarded as one of the worst works of fan fiction ever written
My Immortal, a masterpiece in coherent plot, needs time travel to work too. I fail to see the alleged problem here.
How dare you compare an established monument of contemporary literature to something like Harry Potter?
I kinda want to read it now.
Enjoy!
My Immortal is an internet classic, and a bizarre time capsule of what youth subculture was like ~20 years ago.

This comment rivals My Immortal on grammar and spelling.
