Meeting Death
Harry's POV
A little groggy from the bright light of the train station harry looks around wonder where he is, as a frantic harry turns around he sees a tall dark figure.
Shocked, "WHO ARE YOU!"
As the cloaked figure walks closer he lowly responds, "I am death, master Potter."
Shaken at Deaths words Harry falls back onto the floor of the station.
As death looms over Harry he reaches out and pulls him up to stand.
"So I really am dead." still in disbelieve. "Is this heaven." looking around.
Death pausing for a moment quickly reassured Harry, "No this is not heaven, nor hell, just the station in-between." pausing for a moment, "but before you go to either I wish to give my master a choice he deserves to have."
Questioningly, "What choice?"
"To live." harry blanked, "I'm giving you the choice to go to heaven and see your family, or live, live the life you deserved, the one my siblings made for you, but sadly you never got that happy life."
"What do you mean by 'Siblings'."
Death responded, "My sibling the other primordial aspects they plan all the outcomes of life and there futures while I collect those who die, yet in the end someone messed with your destiny changing your path they made."
"Who?!" Harry desperately needed to know who messed with his life.
Coldly Death responded, “Dumbledore.”
After death said this the train station went silent. Death could see Harry thinking and linking everything together. A while later Harry spoke. “Dumbledore did everything. Who would hide a immortality granting magical artifact in a school. He was a teacher around the time of the first opening of the chamber and would have known about it and Sirius. He knew Sirius was innocent he was the one who casted the fidelius.” Halfway through his inquiry he had begun to pace and gesture wildly, Screaming louder and faster until he stopped abruptly.
“it makes so much sense how did I never notice before.” He smiled crazily in confusion.
“What albus Dumbledore gave you does not function to the dead.” Harry snapped his head franticly to look at death eyes. He opened his mouth only to close it a moment later. He repeated the action a few more times before deciding to sit cross legged on the floor despite the perfectly good chair he had been sat in at the beginning of his rant. Again death stood and watched his young master think.
It took a while longer this time but eventually he spoke again, green eyes frantic and crazed. “I used to love reading and being in comfortable quiet spaces. I basically lived in the library in elementary school but when I first was at Hogwarts those were the last thing's I wanted to do. Was it Dumbledore's fault?” Death only nodded a confirmation. “Hermione and Ron did they know?”
“Hermione Granger, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Ronald Weasley, and Ginevra Weasley were all helping Albus Dumbledore. When Ginevra was four a marriage contract was set up between you and Ginevra. Molly, Arthur, and Ginevra all signed it and Albus signed for you as your magical guardian.”
“Meaning if i was still alive i would have to marry her.” his eyes had started to glow in his anger and fragile state.
“It also means with the contract in place, your death and no will, everything you own goes to Ginevra Weasley.” Harry was fuming.
“They did this for money.” His voice was deadly calm. “And they got it. They won. I played straight into their hands and there is nothing I can do about it.” Death smirked.
“that's not entirely true remember I'm here to make an offer, master.”
As death pointed out three fingers, "I'm giving you three options, number one you will go to heaven and live with your family forever in paradise, two you return to your body back on the battle field, finally three I will send you back to when you first encountered death to live your life with this extra knowledge and power you have." after hearing the options harry stayed silent for awhile until.
"Ill take the third option Death."
Smiling, "Okay master but three things before you go, go to Gringotts trust no-one till then, you'll have all your power and knowledge of the future from your previous life, finally once you get to Gringotts ask for a inheritance test I'm sure you'll find some very interesting things on it, goodbye."
As Death gave one final smile Harry blacked out waking up in Infront of a door with the address of 4 Privet Drive.
