Chapter 1

There were many things in his life that he regretted. One was allowing himself to marry Ginny. Another was believing Dumbledore and that the sun shown out of his ass. Becoming friends with Ron, ignoring Draco Malfoy, being led to the slaughter.

He was so old now. At least he felt it. True he was only 27, but after the life he had been living, was it any wonder he was here, at the top of Hogwarts' astronomy tower. Alone in the night. In the word.

A year after the war, the muggles had discovered magic and began a new Holocaust. Every witch and wizard; pure-blood, half-blood, or mudblood...they were all rounded up and killed or their communities were bombed. Naturally, they all looked to the Savior. Surely he would save them.

No. He had had enough. So, he sat back and watched as the world burned. Wen everyone was gone, he remained. The last living being on earth. He endured. He was through. So he jumped. He embraced the incoming darkness, enjoying the speed and wind. He loved the free-falling freedom.

All was black. He was not alone in the darkness. No, not darkness. For that there had to be light. This place had no light. This was a void. It was THE VOID.

"So, you have finally come to me, Harry. You have been missed." It was no use looking around, it was still dark.

"H-hello?" Harry stuttered. "Who's there? Where am I?"

"You are in my domain. Usually my Reapers take souls, but you are the last soul in this world and all my Hallows had been yours at one time or another. They left their mark upon you. There is time for this later. Right now, we have much to discuss. You have two choices."

"Why would you give me a choice?"

"I have always given you a choice."

"Why?"

"You are the Master of Death." Harry couldn't be allowed to misunderstand.

"What are the choices?"

"You may move on and go to those who you love. You could, however, go back and change your history."

Harry thought hard. He could get away from the Dursley's. "I will go back."

"Good. This time, you will be taken from the Dursley's when you are ten. Your creature inheritance will not be blocked. The abuse you have suffered at the hands of the Dursley's will not be any different, but I have strengthened your Occulumncy. And I will be with you the whole time. Either way, you will remember all of both your lives."

"W-when w-will I be ret-turned?"

"The moment you became a horcrux. You will still be a horcrux. The prophecy told to you by Dumbledore is not in affect."

"Why?"

"You were born July 16th 2002. Your real parents had no idea you existed. Your birth father was obliviated and you were kidnapped and given a blood adoption potion."

"Birth father? Not my mother?"

"You were born to Remus John Lupin and your other father had no idea you existed. Once you reach seven years, go to Gringotts Then Knockturn Alley. Buy a potion to change yourself back to your original state. Because of the manner you are leaving the Dursley's, you must have a reason to be taken. When the adoption is neutralized, you will unlock your creature status. Retrieve books on creatures and pureblood customs. They will help you understand what you could not earlier. While in Knockturn, buy a custom made focus for your magic. Custom made ones, don't have a tracker so will allow you to keep a glamour on yourself at all times. Your natural glamour will keep your creature features hidden, even from yourself."

"So I can change small things, but not enough to stop my abuse," he hesitated over the word, "until I'm ten when I'm taken away from them. Will I be able to control my magic wandlessly?"

"Indeed. Be careful around Ronald when you go to Hogwarts. Choose your own side in the war this time around. It's time for you to go now."

"Wait! Who are you?! Will I ever see you again?"

"Yes, Master. You will see me again. I'll be with you the whole time."
