* OnlyOneMeAllowedRightNow: Why most people can't use long-range time travel. The universe acknowledges twins as an exception and since it's bad at counting anyway, it just thinks the miscount is its own fault.

* OnlyOneMeAllowedRightNow: Why most Most people can't use long-range travel back in time travel. The for very long because the universe acknowledges will eventually notice there's two of the same person running around and try to correct it. However, identical twins as are an exception and since it's because of how the universe compensates for being bad at counting anyway, it just thinks math; if the miscount is its own fault.twin travels back in time (so there's three identical people at once), the universe assumes it miscounted the duplicates and won't react unless the time-traveler calls attention to themself.

The universe knows that Creator/JKRowling is bad at math and it is used to ignoring the computational errors it comes across. And if an extra Weasley twin is running around in 1989, it probably won't notice—even if that twin happens to be forty years old and from the future.

Basically, a George Weasley goes back in time to save Fred fanfic with some bizarre twists on the PeggySue genre. There is no mental time travel, but the person who sent him back makes it so that whenever Fred drinks pumpkin juice, Old George starts or ceases possessing his younger counterpart. Also, George is not allowed to let the fact he's a time traveler leave his head for a year or the universe will notice he doesn't belong and it'll kick him out. These two facts combine to make no one trust this "Saintlike One" who can possess Young George and knows far too much.
