Snape's Memories. They've changed everything. One


hours left. An hour or Voldemort will kill everyone, he


cared.


 


 


Numbness and anger were fighting in Harry's mind. During


for years Dumbledore had been a mentor to him, having helped him


almost like a grandfather. Anger that builds up in a few months


the last is increasing. He knew all the time that Harry was accommodating


part of the soul of Voldemort ...


Seventeen years. He won't have any more. Laughter in the throat


Harry as he captures the irony of the situation. Dumbledore's subtle manipulation


it had even taken place after the death of the Headmaster.


By destroying Voldemort's horcruxes, he didn't just destroy the strings


which keeps the Dark Lord alive, no ... With every horcrux


the shattered one he walked further towards his own death. Voldemorts


at least have the decency to be open about his intentions ... Harry is not


would have let someone else die for him and Dumbledore already knew that. Sure


only, because the Headmaster had the courage to know him before him


sent him to his death. Fred is dead. Tonks and Remus ... Teddy


small, orphaned like him.


Harry was now laughing hysterically, tears were flowing in


her face. Dumbledore's betrayal paled in comparison to what he had


will happen. As he had calmed down, Harry looked at the Watch


the gold that Weasley gave her on her birthday. About three


twenty minutes left. Harry felt the fatigue of mastering. With


heavy limbs he stood up and left Dumbledore's office.


 


 


The castle was silent. Here and there he could see the remains


the wrong spell and the burning tapestry. He grabbed the translucent robe


he looked at her and almost avoided meeting with his friends. They


know what they should do. Surprisingly, Harry thought of the moment


he first saw the school as he walked past the portraits and stairs


blank. What a beautiful sight. Part of him wants


stopped by someone, something. But that invisibility cloak is too


good, too perfect.


Harry did not meet anyone until he reached the entrance hall. Neville


and Oliver Wood is holding someone. Colin Creevy's body, pale


and cold. Pictures flooded his mind. About Colin walking


through the Hogwarts hall, following Harry like a puppy he always carries


his camera. He will never take another photo. Neville stays


in the back, while Oliver continued his journey towards the Great Hall, the,


carry that cold body.


Neville looked exhausted. He looked like an old man when


he's leaning against the wall. A thought suddenly strikes the mind


Harrys. Looking left and right, he lowered his robe. Neville


...


“Harry! You don't think about sacrificing yourself


by himself? We're going to fight, you know! "


“Not ...,” Harry lied. “See Neville, Voldemort


get this giant snake, Nagini.”


"Yes, I've heard of him."


“He must die Neville. Hermione and Ron know, but ...,


"The thought of them dying tightens his throat" I


gotta go now. "


Neville couldn't even answer, before Harry pulled the robe


the magic again.


 


 


Outside, the air was very tense. Every step towards the forest


forbidden feels like a lifetime. He saw Ginny, but he didn't


hold talking to him. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to


go awayl. Finally, after climbing the remains of the spider, walk across


giant weapons, corpses and pieces of burned castles and grass,


he reached the edge of the forest.


Between the tall trees, the air was getting colder. Fog and darkness


it tells the story of the Dementors not far from there. Harry


turn around to look at the castle. From a distance he stood up handsomely and


tall. This was the last time he saw the building that had become


his home for seven years. But this is the end. Game


it's over, the complainant has been caught.


Complainant ...


'I open it in the close.'


 


 


He fumbles


with a rope around his neck. Opening the bag, Harry pulled out the ball


golden. "I'll die ..," he whispered, lips touching the metal


chilly. And like this, it revealed the space within. “ Lumos. ”


Harry's breath was caught for a moment, for he saw what was complaining


unfolded. That's the stone. Third hallow.


It glittered darkly, even as Harry let in the light


his wand died to take Hallow out of his container. He flinched when


the stone touched his hand, his eyes fixated on the small thing that had been


this caused so much bloodshed.


 


 


Suddenly, he felt separated from the people in the


castles. It was as if he was walking through the fog and at the same time


no. gabe.


Now, once he was about to face his own death, it seemed like nothing


more importantly, yet he saw the world in such a spirit


so that his body was filled with it. Every detail is so


contrast. He felt like part of the forest. Live and breathe


like every plant and every insect. Everything looks so


evidently. He felt nothing when he turned around


walk towards the man, whom he had hated for the most part


her life. Harry was not afraid. No more.


He's gonna die. That's something he should be


do so. There was something deep within him, a piece of his soul that knew


that he must face death.


 


 


So, when he saw Dolohow and Yaxley, he followed


them. As they walked through the dark forest, Harry could hear them


speaking in a soft voice. They don't believe he's gonna show up. Harry wanted to


laugh at the irony.


They follow a nearly invisible trail that snaking in between


the trees and suddenly they stopped and the leaves became brighter.


The openings among the treetops reveal a dark, studded night sky


star. Suddenly Harry recognized the place. That's where he and Ron are


confronting Aragog. No spiders - their nests are abandoned - but


the place is clearly the same.


 


 


A giant spider's nest hangs in the trees, dangling


like a veil over the head of a Death Eater. They move like ghosts


blown by the wind - some reflected the golden light emanating from the flames


light up in the middle of the field.


The flames lit up the faces of the Voldemort followers, painting a terrifying shadow on the


skin them.


Surprisingly, Harry took one step forward.


Some of them still wore masks while others did not care anymore


hiding their faces. Two giants were sitting not far from there,


cast a huge shadow into the scenery. Fenrir Greyback was agitated


biting his nails, wanting to fight again. His arms are covered in blood.


The tall and blond Rowle had chipped lips and purple bruises were growing


it looked on his gloomy face every second, while Lucius Malfoy


surrounded by an aura of fear, it was very different from his usual haughty manner


he brought it himself. By comparison, Narzissa looked calm. She's on


beside him, silent but careful, his eyes were watching closely.


 


 


And there, almost in another world stood Voldemort. Pale and


tall, his hands folded over his staff as if he was praying inside


hearts. Each face was expectantly directed at him. He pulled out


dark forces and Harry finds himself fascinated by the man, more than


which he fears. Snake, Nagini is still floating inside her magic cage,


it changed the air around him while his heavy body wriggled slowly.


When Dolohow and Yaxley joined the crowd, Voldemort opened his eyes


and he raised his head to look at them, even though there was no sound


who told them of their arrival. "There's no trace of him, my lord",


dolohow exclaimed, his voice fragile and rough. Voldemort's expression did not change. Eye


the red almost shone in the darkness. Slowly he pulled the magic wand


from his long fingers, every pair of eyes was fixated on movement.


It also caught Harry's attention and his gaze must have been fixed on the Wand


Death in his thin hands.


Harry's palm tightened around the rock


her hands. It was so cold.


"Sir," Bellatrix began, but Voldemort


cut it with the movement of his hand. He started talking. That's almost


like whispers.


"I thought he'd come ..." Voldemort looked at


in fire. I was expecting him to come.


No one said a word. Harry wanted to


laughing at how they were all so scared, whereas he had been


lost all his fear once he accepted his imminent death


happen. Harry pulled the invisibility cloak from his shoulder and


crammed it down his shirt. His wand followed shortly


later then. He doesn't need it. "Looks like me ...


wrong," added Voldemort.


“You don't,” Harry interrupted loudly and he walked towards the man


it looks like a snake. Nothing matters, except them. Hagrid which


tied to a tree somewhere to his right started screaming. Him


didn't realize it before.


“NO... HARRY!” But Harry did not answer. Him


ignoring the laughter and screams coming from the Death Eaters and stopped


not far from Voldemort. The Dark Lord tilted his head. Flavored


curiosity flashed in his eyes, but Harry knew it would not


saved him.


“Harry Potter,” said the Prince of Darkness, and his lips curved


it became a cold smile as he said the last words that would be


never heard of Harry, “Living boys ..” Almost soft, Voldemort


lips moving. Then there's no.


Bryyyy .....


Herrryyy ......


 


 


Harry opened his eyes. A bright light attacked him from


all sides, until he blinked and his surroundings became blurred. Him


he found himself in a white room. It was very long and tall, though,


the pillars soared towards the ceiling, which seemed entirely made up


from glass. The longer he looked, the more things he found. Surprisingly,


it reminded me of Kings Cross. Suddenly he saw something


the pink one under the bench. It moved.


Just as Harry wanted to walk towards her, he heard a strange voice that


cause him to go around in circles.


"Harrryy ..."


Like a gust of wind, but the wind does not speak. That


it's sound. It sounded raucous and its name was stretched with


freaky. "Who's there?" Harry looked to find the source


the voice, but he could not see anyone.


Suddenly he felt as if a hand was touching


his back, exploring until stroking his shoulders, piercing through his hair, his face, his,


just get to her ribs again, wrap her up from behind.


"Harrry"


Someone whispered directly into his ear now. Harry


almost felt her hair tickle her cheeks. It feels like a hug.


"I've been waiting a long time


..."


 


 


"You who? Show yourself!" Harry demanded and he


gulped. Almost as if this creature was reluctant to let go, he


I felt that presence pulling back. The air in front of him grew


thick and foggy. Dark clouds grow, taking shape and like pieces


Tom Riddle from the fog diary began to resemble a human. Subsequently


fully formed, the creature winked its teeth too sharply with


predator grin. Harry gawked. Because in front of Harry stood up, yeah ...


Harrys.


But not completely.


The figure had a slim face and a slim body that was


same. Her hair was as wild as Harry's, but it looked even


darker. It was pitch-black, like a dark hole and its strands floated


as if it were under water. The skin of the figure was like a candle, too


perfect to be possessed by a genuine human and lightning-shaped scar in


his forehead is gone too. But the biggest difference was his eyes. They


white, like the eyes of a Thestral. There is no pupil or iris


disrupt glossy surface.


"Masssterrr-ku ...," said


it exclaimed.


"Your master?" Harry stared at his doppelgaenger with a look


bewildered.


“Tuanku,” creature


it was confirmed, looking at him hungry, “You collected Relic.”


“The Hallows ..." Harry's eyes were terrified.


"You are Death?!”


"That's what's possible


some people call me," he said


smirked.


"Did I die?" Harry asked in a tone


calm down, even though he was afraid of the answer.


That creature


tilting his head. “Ya and no. You have been


leave the world of the living, but you have not reached the world of the living


die. You are in a place without a name .. but I think the most people.


aptly describe it as 'in-between', ” the figure said


after a while.


"What about horcruxes?" Harry asked, remembering


his goal, the reason he was here from the beginning.


The other harry


tilting his head in the other direction with a bird-like motion. Him


look at Harry carefully. "It's not with you anymore.


This ... wait.”


“Waiting?”


“For other pieces


join."  The predator's grin on Death's face


replaced by a frown.***" He suffered. A trong***


out of what should be intact. It cannot walk without the


others. "   Harry squirmed under a sharp gaze,


not quite understanding what emotions befell him on these words, however


that heavy statement touched something inside him.


“But Voldemort is alive?” Ask to break the silence


the heavy.


"Yes." Yeah."


“I have to go back, don't I?” Harry asked and he


look at the empty train tracks.


"You can


continue," said Death, following


his view. It doesn't sound too happy.


“What if I continue. Where am I going?


” Harry asked.


"Active," he said.


“But I can go back.”


"Yes." Yeah." Creatures


it grinned again and leaned towards Harry.


"I can beat Voldemort" said Harry and determinedly


finding a way into his voice.


"You can."


But the affirmation of his words only dispelled trust


her and the task she was carrying seemed much bigger. Claimed that


he could go back and defeat Voldemort. But how


her way? And anyway, Nagini is still alive. Then an


the mind enters his mind. “You said I'm your Master,” asked Harry.


"You are.”


The creature made a strange vibrating sound. It resonates inside


the room, filling the air from all sides was like a deep rumble and Harry


suddenly I realized it was snoring. The creature in front of him was snoring. Voices


which does not at all fit the human form it wears. But


then the meaning of his words came to light. He is the master of Death!


“Can you bring back Fred, Tonks and Remus?” Harry


asking, a glimmer of hope lit up in his heart and he almost tripped


his words. “Sirius?” Picture of his godfather falling through


the veil burned behind her eyelids.


"No."


“Oh,” says Harry. His chest clenched painfully. Him


remain silent, while Death seemed content to be in his company only,


judging from the continuing rumble that was going on. “But what


what does all this mean?” Harry suddenly exploded.


"You are my Lord, that"


snoring and Harry felt a frustration build up in his chest


“But what does it mean ?! Why death even requires


a Teacher? " he loudly voiced his thoughts.


“Death does not require


a master. I made Hallows because I wanted to. Not much


who can collect everything. Even if someone unites them


I could have chosen not to follow them. But you


... ” She's closing in, her nose is almost touching Harry's nose. "You're mine. Mine to obey, mine to


patronized. "


Harry's confused. Despite the strange fixation that seems to


having that creature on him, it really sounded like a being that


wants to obey. But what was the point of becoming a Death Lord if he was even


can't get back the person he loves ?! “What are you


get from this?” Harry asked, suddenly suspicious.


"I'm alone. I'm bored. But now I am not .... "


“If I come back, can you help me beat


Voldemort?”


"Yes, "


The creature looked excited. “Sheven, I have to


warned you. If you accept to be my Master, I will


you and you will be me. "


“I won't kill people, right? I won't be


Of death? ” Harry asked suddenly scared at those cryptic words. Him


remember how Quirrel died. What if he's gonna kill Ron


or just Hermione?


“Part of myself will


join You, just as some of you will join


i'm. If you accept to be my Master, you command


the death. You collect Hallows. There will be change. That


***it started when you took the stone. " ***


Harry remembered the feeling of being detached and suddenly he wasn't


convinced that facing his death is the only reason for


that's. "Can I stop it? The change?"


“You can choose to


resume.”   The creature grinned, Harry


feeling the anger overflow in his stomach.


Voldemort is still out there. His friends,


his teacher. Everyone is still fighting. Harry gritted his teeth. Him


don't like that thing forcing its hand like this. Undisappointingly


his friends, let them die at Voldemort's hands or approve


something he doesn't know the outcome of. "If I accept to


be your master, am I still me?" ask him by hand


clenched. The creature looked amused, but he nodded.


“You will have your memories,


your feelings, but there will be a part in you that knows


Deaths. That's Death. And death knows not well and


ill-favoured. ” Death grinned like a distorted reflection of him.


Harry exhaled tremblingly. This is at least


something's. But what if he comes back like Voldemort? No


can love, not remember what it was like to be friends or how


feel like falling in love? The creature in front of him seemed to hesitate. Something


it flashed across his face. Suddenly he spoke again.


“Come back if you


want. I've been waiting a long time. If you need time to


thinking about it, I'll give you some time. "


“Can I beat Voldemort without you?” Harry asked


hesitant but grateful.


"You always


strong Harry ..." The first real smile appeared on his face


Deaths.


“Can you take me back, then?” Harry


inquiring.


***"Yes\," **said\,


his white eyes looked into Harry's eyes.


Harry swore that he felt his hands touch the swab


his cheeks, but his surroundings had faded.
