"Avada Kedavra"

Countless green lights shatter the crystal case, igniting a cataclysmic explosion and in the resultant blinding, golden light, Helen Jade Potter vanished. After a short while, Helen started to regain her consciousness. she felt a little dizzy at first but regain her composure. She was lying on the floor. she suddenly remembered what happened. "The killing curse hit me. I should be dead. But why am I not? Where am I anyway?" Helen looked around to know where she was. But she saw nothing but white light. She stood up from where she was lying. she realized that she was wearing different clothes from before. Beforehand she had a black hoody and blue jeans on. Now she was wearing a white loose silk dress.

'Is this heaven?', She said out loud.

'Not really', said a grim voice from behind Helen. Helen turned on her hills to see a black hooded figure stood behind her. The figure was almost ten feet tall and had black cloak covering its whole body. It held a scythe in its ghostly pale hand.

'W..who are you?' Helen stammered at it. she wasn't scared of the figure. No, she was more overwhelmed by it than scared. Nothing really scared Helen anymore. After all, she just walked toward her death in cold blood.

And not to mention she died. So what else could possibly happen to her? Might she die? Yeah ...right.

'Not who but what' said the hooded figure. 'I am your humble servant. As you are my one and only Mistress. I am the most powerful being of this universe. I have and always will be. I will never be born and never die.

As I am Death itself.'

Helen just stood there dumbstruck unable to master any word. So, the Death kept on going, 'You, Helen Jade Potter are the only Witch who has ever manage to collect the three Hallows. For that reason, you become the Mistress of Death and time.' 'So, everything in the book is real?' Helen asked finally able to master her voice.

'More or less. Yes.' Death replied in the same monotone grim like voice', what now? Why am I here?' Helen asked looking around.

'Now is time for you to decide.' Death replied. 'What you wish to do with your power to control me, my mistress. Death said as bowed to Helen.

"Please death let me change the hands of time, take me back to where it all began." Helen said as Death smiled and said a "as you wish my mistress."

Helen looked around at her surroundings discovered that it was sometime in the afternoon and she was in a forest. After checking to make sure she still had both her wands her holly wond and master wond, Helen cleaned off her silk white dress shirt and black pants as she carefully moved ahead finding nothing out of the ordinary, it seems to be just a normal forest, suddenly she heard sounds of a scuffle.

"You are a freak!"

"I am not!"

"You are! You are a hateful, disgusting freak! Sooner or later, you will go to hell, Tom Riddle!"

Then there were more noises of a scuffle.

Helen stopped, did she really just hear the name "Tom Riddle"? Voldemort was here? Her whole body was shuddering, she could not forget how he was defeated, even after six horcruxes were destroyed, Voldemort's might be unchanged. Helen could only just duel him to a standstill but Voldemort has taken over the Ministry with endless deceitful words and material enticements.

After several moments of hesitation, Helen finally walked towards the noises, to her surprise, instead of Voldemort, she found Tom Riddle the child, Tom was surrounded and being beaten by several children and his black hair was covered in dirt, his large, brilliant eyes were burning with anguish, rage, despair and helplessness. The scene and Tom's expression reminded Helen strongly of her own dark childhood.

With a nodded of her head Helen used the first spell she very made on her own "Mors gemini mutuus". Helen said three large boa constrictors that were the size of anacondas wrapped around the three kids that were picking on Tom. the snakes were in position ready to sink their fangs into the necks of their targets waiting on the command of the mistress with some in them.

"You three should be really grateful I haven't given the command to my snakes to eat you," Helen said in her dark cold voice as all three boys wet themselves and passed out due to the fear they were feeling. Helen looked at her three boa constrictors gently place the boys down on the ground as she looked at the three and said in Parseltongue {"well-done you 3 you may all return to your families, I'll call upon you once again when the need arises"}.

all three snakes hiss they reply and said {"yes our mistress"}and disappeared. Tom Riddle gasped in show, "You…you can…"

"Talk to snakes, yes it's called Parseltongue. The ancient language of the serpents. " Helen smiled brightly. as she walked over to Tom and offered her hand to the small boy. Tom took the offered hand and started at Helen. Only bushes to bit her and Tom. Years of battle-honed reflexes had allowed Helen to easily recognize and eliminate the threat.

"Petrificus Totalus." The dog froze solid as a rock and Helen easily flicked it away. Tom regarded Helen 's wand with awe, "What is that?" "A wand. A wizard's and witch's wand." Helen said. Tom frowned, "You're a wizard?" Tom asked confused. "A witch to be exact and you Tom are a wizard, "A very special wizard." Helen said as she twirled her wand with her fingers.

"Then I can also have a wand?" Tom said as he looked greedily, at Helen's wand. "Of course. When you go to school at Hogwarts, you will have your own wand." Helen said with a smile. "When will that be?" The bewildered boy asked. Helen smiled. well, that will be when you turn eleven." Helen said as she could feel the boy's emotions knowing that Tom can be very inpatient. when there something he want's but must wait.

Tom's scowled and moved closer to Helen, "But … I want one now!" Tom said as he suddenly reached out to grab Helen's wand, with a quick movement Helen waved her wand, cast a Colloshoo hex silently and Tom's shoes were stuck to the ground as Helen sent a Titillando at Tom. immediately began to Tickle him.

Helen smiled in seeing Tom began to laugh, but only for her smile to turn into a frown when she heard Tom began to Sob. Helen quickly took off the two hexes', as she walked up to Tom and pulled the small boy into a loving hug. "shh it's ok… I was only playing around, there's no need to cry Tom. Looking at you now, who would have thought that you would rule the world one day." Tom stopped crying and his eyes brightened, "I'm going to rule the world?" he asked with a bit awe in his voice. Helen answered hesitantly, "Yeah, using the name Voldemort." "Voldemort? What a strange name." Tom sneered in disgust.

Helen looked at him in amusement, "You don't like it? You invented this name yourself, you know Tom." Helen waved her wand and golden waves emerged from her wand, it writhed snakelike into the words "Tom Marvolo Riddle", "see, this is your name." she waved her wand again and the letters rearranged themselves into the words "I am Lord Voldemort".

"You didn't like your father because he was a muggle, that is, someone without magic and the fact he knew where here and didn't do anything to help raise you or see you in that matter, so you discarded his name." Helen recalled that Voldemort would later kill his father and couldn't help feeling that man deserve what's coming to him for leaving a child in this hell. After a moment's silent, Tom coldly asked, "How do you know what's going to happen to me in the future?" Helen was silent for a few moments, then she put away her wand and took Tom into her arms tightly. "I'm the same as you Tom," she said, "an orphan, raised by muggles, able to speak to animals, but I don't hate muggles like you. Even though they don't have magic they are still smart and advanced enough that they can live easily and comfortably without magic. Although there are bad people among them, most of them are good. I wish that you could see that."

Closing her eyes sighed as Helen reopened her eyes. only for Tom to gasp in seeing her beautiful Emerald eye where now glowing with power. As Helen could feel death coming closer to her. It seems her time in this time line is almost is up. Smiling at Tom once more Helen removed her necklace that bears the symbol of the Deathly Hallows to show that whoever believed in them. And slowly place the necklace around Tom's neck as she whispered.

I have crossed the horizon to find you

I know your name

They have stolen the heart from inside you

But this does not define you

This is not who you are

You know who you are. And with that Helen disappeared in a black mist that was surrounding her body. Tom silently looked at where the young woman once was. before she disappeared, amazed at the wonders of magic. What kind of magic allowed a person to travel to the present from the future? Tom thought as he looked at the necklace that the woman had gave him. Wondering what does this symbol mean. As Tom wondered in what will happened to the woman will she be punished for coming back in time to talk to him, like he punished his servants? This thought frightened him. He didn't want the woman to die, he wanted her to live!

Tom will always, always remembered the woman's embrace, gentle yet loving, he could feel the woman's sorrow and agony and the weight of the hurts pulled at his heart. For an instant, he felt the urge to weep. When he was younger, he did not understand what he was feeling, it was only later, as he grew older, that he understood what the feeling meant. He always remembered that on a sunny afternoon,

a beautiful looking woman walked towards him, her wizarding robes seeming to almost crush her slender frame even though she was a witch she was wearing male clothing, but her face was showing a resilient smile as though nothing could defeat her. The woman had emerald green eyes like the sparkling waters of a lake and a head of the darkest black hair that almost looks blue in the light. As her bangs were covering a certain scar that Tom didn't see.
