Harry, Peter and Death
Chapter 1: Meeting Peter
He reached the pearly gates in wonder. One moment he was with his family on his death bed and the next, he was here! He even looked younger!
He looked around searching for the man that was supposed to be greeting him but could only see mist. Disappointed in not seeing him there he placed his hand on the gate with the intention of pushing it open.
"What are you doing!" He pulled his hand away and looked around. A man, who looked to be in his 30's and wearing a toga, was running along the gate towards him. He waited for the man to reach him and when he finally did the man took a weazing breath before standing in front of the gate with a smile.
"Alright Mister Potter! What's the big idea? Are you trying to steal my job?" Harry smiled a little and replied "Well, maybe if you would be here on time I wouldn't have to." The man laughed at that and told Harry that it wasn't his fault that he was early.
"Now, let's start with the introductions! My name is Peter and it's my job to judge if you are worthy enough to go to heaven or hell. Now that that's done with, turn around."
Confused, Harry did as he was told and waited for a moment until Peter told him to turn back. When he did he was faced with Peter putting a pedestal, with a book on it, in front of him. Peter then leafted through the book and finally stopped at an almost empty page.
Pointing at something on the page he looked at Harry with a slight frown on his face.
"You weren't supposed to die till tomorrow! Great, now I got to go talk to Death and straighten that up and he really freaks me out sometimes. Not to mention that the line will be backed up so much if I go now."
Looking almost gleeful as a thought occurred to him he asked Harry if he wanted to do a favour for him. Eager to see more of the place Harry said that he would do it.
"Great! Just keep walking along the gate from the way I came from and you'll reach a sign that gives you a choice between Death and my name. All you have to do is go to Death's office and tell him that I want to see him then you can come back, ok?"
Harry decided that, seeing he was already dead, he would do it. Or maybe it was the hopeful expression on Peters face that made him do it...
Review for me and we just might meet "Death" in no time!
