Just something that popped up in my head.
I hope you'll like it!
Hariel Lillian Potter looked at the world from her standpoint high in the sky, but she wasn't exactly present, it was more like she was looking down on a ants nest through a looking glass. The spirit world was a hidden part of the universe she had gotten intimately familiar with when she had decided to leave her home dimension, it had been easy to reach with her magic and the powers that had been gifted to her by Death when she became its master.
She had taken off to this world because she saw no end to it all, the media pestered her, Ron and Hermione let the fame go to their heads and Harry was alone with only Death as a companion. This is why she had stepped through the veil that had claimed her godfather and destroyed it on her way out. From that moment on she roamed the different worlds connected to the spirit realm and all the possible dimensions, she did this without having aged a day from the second she stepped through to the other side making her look no older than twenty.
Death crept up to the red haired woman, it noticed that she had decided to grow out her hair again in the last decade and it now almost reached her hips instead of the short pixie cut its master had favoured ten years ago. Her hair almost glowed as it swirled around her head as if it was submerged in water and had a mind of its own.
Hariel sensed her old friend coming near and turned her vibrant green eyes towards him and pierced him with a stare only she could manage, it was not her intention to do so but the combination of her unnatural eye colour and a look that didn't carry any emotion did it for her anyway. She didn't greet Death and it didn't expect her to do so anyway, Death just glided up to her until it stood next to her and looked with her at the world before them.
"Something is going to happen, isn't it?" Hariel asked without needing an answer from her companion, she could feel it in the realm she resided in. Death was reaching out with its fingers to the world before her even though it was unwilling and forced, Death didn't like to take people before their time it had planned out for them but the consequences would be astronomical if Death turned its back on the things that were about to happen.
"I have stalled it all I can but the time has come to act." The rasping voice besides Hariel didn't scare her like it hat done the first time she had heard it, now it brought a sense of belonging and purpose as she began to ready herself for the future, something she hadn't done for a long time.
"I will have to go out there." She said as a matter of fact and Death didn't persuade her to do otherwise like she knew it would.
"It has been roughly a century in human years since you have ventured outside the timeless realm you call home but there is no turning back now. I am forced to take part in the events of the future, there is no stopping them but someone needs to keep an eye on things in the thick of it."
Harry looked back to the world and the people that scrambled like ants, she had once been one of them and she could roughly remember it but it had lost it's edge. She had never wanted to earn the powers she had earned but there was no stopping it, she had to take responsibility one day, people are going to die and she would have to see it through. "Fine," she said as she looked back at death "I will go." Her tone held no emotion as she turned away from the view.
She didn't wait for a confirmation as she popped out of existence but she could still hear Death's answer. "The game is on."
More chapters are on its way.
I hope y'all liked it!
