Fate didn't make me owner of Harry Potter, so I have to be satisfied with writing this as my destiny...
There are two major events in life that needs tons of paperwork filed, namely birth and death. But no matter what you think, most of that is done in the After-life offices. And like with any type of bureaucracy, even there were cases of lost or misplaced documents, typos and much more. When something like that happened, case was sent to Destiny Repair Centre, which at this time was busy setting up path for a story that we all will get well known.
"You heard latest news?" asked one technician of the Centre.
"Yeah. Riddle at last will mark his equal." answered other worker that had shift at this time.
"That's not it. They lost documents which of the two it should be, so now whatever was planed goes down the drain." that made the other one laugh.
"So, now we have to fix it?" first one nodded. "I hate this part. Hero learns of his destiny, finds a teacher and battles the evil when they are all gloriously powerful. Done so many times I feel sick about it."
"Yeah, but what can you do? It is done because it works." was said with a shrug.
"I can do anything. Remember that we are fixing their mess, not the other way around. If they don't like it, why don't they fix it themselves, or don't make mistakes in the first place."
"So, do you have something in mind, or you just complaining?"
"Don't know. Something simple so we don't need to do overtime..."
After that sentence there was tense silence in which you could feel brainwaves buzzing through the air. But then, the first technician started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" asked the other one.
"I think I have an idea. Instead of making hero all hyped up, why don't we make the evil one powerless. Lets see how Light side makes it on pure talent, without our help."
The other one grinned and started to fill out the paperwork.
And so, it was only when Harry Potter won the Tri-wizard tournament (which was prepared for adults), and by that proving that he was grown up, that Tom Marvolo Riddle was able to get his own body back.
AN. Destiny Repair Centre (or the likes) isn't mine, but I just can't remember where I read about it.
