A brush with death
Blinding white. That was the first thing Harry Potter noted when he opened his eyes. The familiar blinding white of Kings Cross Station in the after life. Confusion took over his brain for a moment, how the fuck had he died? Again. In front of the 19 year olds eyes, his final moments played like a movie.
Harry had been sent out by the head Auror on a tip off. They had tracked Walden McNair, a death eater who had lied his way out of Azkaban after the war, to a common dark haunt in Knockturn Alley. The warrant for Macnairs arrest had been served after the man was proved to be selling dangerous dark artefacts.
When Harry and a small team of auror had arrive in knockturn it had quickly turned into an utter shitshow, Macnair did not want to go quietly. Within a second of spotting the auror the wizard had drawn his want a started firing off curses. A stray bombarda is what had done it, hitting Harry square in the chest.
“Mother fucker, after all that a bombada is what does it?!” Harry hisses to himself as he sits up.
“A true shame, master” A deep and raspy voice speaks from behind him.
Harry whips around, he knows with only one glance who the voice belongs to. A tattered cloak in the deepest shade of night, his arms are mere bone, hidden in the shadows of his hood eyes of blood red glow. Before him stand, well hovers, Death. And death had just called him Master.
“Death.” Harry merely states.
“Yes” Death says with what Harry imagines is the deities version of a nod. “You have been the victim of a grave injustice against all the gods hold dear, Master”
Harry blinks, brows furrowing. A grave injustice? During the war Harry had often found himself wandering if life had been unfair to him, he had been at the centre of a war since before he was born, he had lost almost too many of those he loved over the course of seventeen years.
“What do you mean?” Harry asks quietly, almost unsure he wants to know.
“You did not get the life Destiny had planned for you, did not become who she wished you to be.” He felt Deaths words in his soul, a crushing longing coursing through his very being. “Your fate was meddled with by those who thought themselves Gods, greedy for power that did not belong to them. You were kept from who you truely are. Betrayed you in ways that are irredeemable, Master”
If breathing was necessary to him at that moment Harry was sure his lungs would fail him, someone had meddled enough in his life to ire the gods. Someone had betrayed him. But who? How? Just what had been taken from him?
Harry had an inkling in the back of his mind on who, the same person who had left him with an abusive family year after year, who had sent him on a dangerous missing with little to no information. The person who Harry had blindly trusted, had looked up to. Before Harry can open his mouth to speak, death reaches out and presses a lanky skeletal finger over Harry’s heart. Gold light swirls in front of him, morphing into a golden scroll. Gingerly Harry takes in and unfurls the parchment.
