the trials and tribulation of meeting immortal people
HP/UA crossover
Helena Potter felt like she was floating through space. Her eyes were closed and her body felt like she was floating through jelly. She heard someone scream. She didn’t know if it was her but the voice sounded feminine and panicked. She tried to open her eyes but before she knew it she was asleep yet again.
Fate looked at the tired withered soul of Helena with death right by her side. They both felt bad about what she went through. You see two years after Helena defeated Voldemort she was murdered by a death eater. Fate and Death did not feel as if this fate was deserving of one Helena Potter. You see she was the mistress of death. Being the only person to collect all three hallows and yet didn’t use them for her own personal gain. Death was flummoxed by this development but softened. Fate felt horrible about what she just put Helena through and was about to put though again.
Both Fate and Death argued and argued whether to let the girl live in peace or just give her one more chance. Finally they came to a consensus. One such universe in which Fate and Destiny both thought Helena would have a chance in. They saw the death and destruction that was befallen all because of one stupid man. Reginald Hargreeves a man both Death and Fate despised with their very beings. A child abuser and very evil person that should be eradicated effectively immediately. The Hargreave siblings should be allowed to live and Hellena should be allowed to feel and wonder.
Death then snapped his fingers and Helena sat up from the bed she was laid in with a simple grey dress on. Helena looked curiously at the two beings in front of her. Both looked like a simple couple. One had black hair, a lean build and blue eyes while the other hand had simple brown hair, light brown eyes.
Helena was understandably confused but she felt as if she knew both of them, Specifically the balck haired man. He felt familiar and she was wondering why. Helena felt herself feeling a bit sluggish but cleared her throat, Her green eyes widening slightly finally making the connection. Helana was dead plain and simple. It was quite gruesome how she died. Tortured and than murdered. Helena assumed she should’ve felt something more. Terrified, Confused, Scared? Instead all she felt was numb. She was just tired at this point.
Tired of the running and fighting and blood. Tired of sleepless nights and vomiting her guts out because of her panic attacks. Tired of being looked as if she was some kind of goddess. Helena in a morbid way was thankful for finally being put out of her misery. She looked at both figures with deadened eyes, “I’m assuming one of you death but I don’t know the other”
The brown haired girl- no entity stepped forward, “I’m fate and I’m sorry for what I put you through, out of my own pride and arrogance”.
The reason why Helena had a difficult life was out of jealousy from fate. Death had a favored child and fate did not like that. She just wanted to make Helena’s life a little difficult but that became incomprehensible. Death was still mad over what fate did to his favored child. Helena Azra Potter-Black was an anomaly. No matter what situations and difficulties she faced, she held her head high and kept going. Helena easily could’ve become evil but she didn’t, she was kind and caring and oh so good.
Fate regretted what she did to a child- now a battle-worn soldier. Helena just raised her eyebrows, “I forgave my crappy consequences a long time ago, no matter how bad you made things out to be and I learned a lot of lessons”.
Fate didn’t know what to say to that.
Death cleared his throat, “Helena what if we gave you a chance to make something right”.
Helena thought this over,” She could easily turn down this offer and go to the after-life to meet Sirius, Remus, her parents, Fred and Tonks and Colin and so many people.
However a little voice in her head was saying, “Helena come on, what's wrong with having another go at life, you could be everything and more, you could stop the running dying and murder and stress”.
Helena felt her lips tug up a little, “I’m listening”
Fate rushed over, “The universe both me and death both choose to send you to is one where Reginald Hargreaves is, a despicable man that is the cause of the universe ending”.
Death interjected, “If you choose to be sent you will be some sort of an anomaly being born from 41 women who were born out of nowhere”.
Fate continued, “Reginald basically raised child soldiers pitting them against each other and cause grievous family disputes”
“What we want you do-
Helena grinned sharply, “become the middle of course”
Death smirked proudly,”Exactly, you will be part of 7 sibling and would be known as Number 8”
Helena snorted, “He wasn’t bothered to give them actual names”
Fate grimly stated, “Yes and he would assume you as “ordinary”
Helena grimaced, “I’ve had 10 years with Dursleys being thought of as a freak, I could take bing known as ordinary”
“Before in this original universe Vanya was considered as ordinary making her excluded from the family and isolated mentally, that caused her to be manipulated by a man named Harold Jenkins” Fate bit out
Death had way too much fun torturing him but Fate had a little fun as well.
Helena thoughtfully continued, “Vanya actually having powers would help her not being as isolated, but i’m assuming there’s more”
Death snorted, “A lot more but to put it shortly Ben died who is number 6 and was very loved which cause some sort of chasm between the siblings, Five somehow got himself to the future and was later able to come back after like 40 something years, he was obsessive over the apocalypse”.
Fate continued, “Relationships were further destroyed when Vanya wrote a book about the family and how she was left out and about their powers and such”
Helena grimaced, “That’s a lot and I thought I was messed up”
Death then stated, “The powers that all seven have are Luther, known as number one Brute strength half-monkey”
“How did he become a monkey”
“Dare I say it, dear old Reggie”
Fate cut in, “Number two is Diego and apparently he can breathe for a long time underwater and could control knives and such
“That’s interesting”
“Your telling me”
Death continued, “Allison could Rumor people and she’s known as number three”
“Like make them do things”
“The very same”
“That’s like the imperius curse wow
Death then sighed guilty,” Number four is Klaus and he can see ghosts”
“Wait what”
“Yeah I think I was drunk or something but you could help with that”
“....”
Fate continued on, “Number five is well just five and he can teleport places and apparently time travel”
“Hold up his name is an actual number and he can teleport like apparition, no fair”
“I think that was fates fault”
“No comment”
Death smirked a little but moved on, “Number six is ben, yes the dead one and he can do this tentacle thing from his stomach that apparently could rip people apart”
Death added as a little side note, “There called eldritch”
“I-”
Fate snorted amused, “And finally Number 7 Vanya, the one that her father brainwashed as ordinary and kept her heavily sedated all her life, even made Allison rumor her at the age of four after trapping her in some kind of container thing, her powers is to manipulate sound waves, the weather by her mood”
“Is she a musical prodigy”
“Yeah how’d you know”
“She remind me of well me, pushed down and only could amount to Piano to appease the Dursley into thinking i’m the perfect no-freakish little girl” Helena retorted bitterly
Fate smiled sadly,”Death and I decided that Vanya’s powers will just be sound manipulation”
Helena snorted, “huh”
Basically she could manipulate sound at her will and heavily injure people by just sound, the fancy word is Sonikenisis”
Helena just nodded, “So what is my alias and powers or whatever’’
Fate answered that one, “You would obviously be referred to as Number 8 and keep you name Helena, Your powers would be basically your magic and the mistress of death powers”
“Hold up” Helena looked startled
“Yes little one we will send you spells that will help and could do without a wand and noverbal with some practice, Your mistress of death powers would be you being able to make yourself invisible on command, control and see spirits as well as sort of raise the dead”
Helena looked startlingly pale, “Ok then but a do me a favor and uh let me “unlock” those powers at five”
Death looked confused, “Why five”
“I don’t want dear old reggie to find out then drug me to oblivion”
Death cackled, “Oh honey that won’t happen”
Helena pouted adorably, ‘What do you mean”
Fate smiled softly,”Don’t worry about”
Helena looked confused but then smirked,”Those drugs won’t affect me right?”
Death coughed, “Yup”
Helena sighed, “Alright I guess I’m going to be some weird reincarnation with my memories sort of thing but let’s do this”
Fate and Death looked surprised and rightfully so, “Are you sure”
“Yeah I’m sure nobody should suffer like I did and Reginald Hargreaves is dead” Helena muttered darkly
Death nodded and with a snap of his fingers Helena felt her vision go black
Fate poked Death’s arm, “Did we tell her that she could someone us if she says, Fate or Death”?
Death hissed, “Uh no”
Fate sighed, “She’ll find out, hopefully”.
And on October 1st 1989 everything changed
Helena Potter, now known as Number 8 will do great things.
