Prologue

Location: unknown

Date: unknown

Harry woke up extremely disoriented; all he could see was white, white and more white. Once it all focused it kind of looked like Hogwarts now he thought about it the Gryffindor tower to be precise. He tried to remember how he got there. That's when it hit him the fixed trial, the betrayal and the fact that only one person believed him. No one not even Dumbledore believed him about Voldemort returning. They had snapped his wand as soon as they realized Cedric was dead. Only one friend had believed him. His secret friend that no one knew about. Her name was Astoria. Astoria Greengrass. She was a Slytherin 4th year or would be when school opened up again. They had met in second year when Hermione had been petrified. They had been firm friends ever since. But now he was dead. Murdered by Voldemort in the ministry atrium confront of the monster Dumbledore and Merlin knew who else.

-Flashback-

He had been sitting in is newly acquired cell in Azkaban surrounded by the worst criminals alive, all of them death eaters. He had been here for 2 weeks and 3 days the dementors seemed to leave him alone for some reason he couldn't fathom. It was now about two maybe three in the morning when he heard a large explosion several floors up. He heard guards screaming about someone who was supposed to be dead. That probably meant it was Voldemort here to kill him. He was surprised it had taken so long if he was honest. The door to his cell opened ever so slowly and Voldemort walked in standing tall amongst his followers, crimson eyes bright with glee. They had taken him away until morning tortured him for fun by lunch time the next day he was a mess bloody and battered. The mas Azkaban break out made the front page of the profit Fudge had told them that they suspect that Sirius Black infamous mass murdering psychopath had told Harry how he had escaped and Harry had then led a revolt of the prison allowing magical Britain's most notorious criminals to roam free.

At precisely one o'clock Voldemort and his death eaters apparated with Harry to the atrium of the ministry. When they arrived there were no spells fired as all the Auror's were in shock as before them stood a man long thought dead. After a brief fire fight that didn't last long and left three Auror's dead and more gravely wounded Voldemort gave his speech about how stupid Dumbledore and Fudge were and how he had managed to kidnap Harry right from under his Dumbledore's nose.

After five minutes of his gloating Dumbledore finally arrived, eyes wide with shock and confusion at seeing Tom alive and this point more Auror's had apparated or port keyed in.

"Hello Tom" Dumbledore started

"Old man" Voldemort replied glee evident in his tone

"What brings you here on this fine day?"

"The very public execution of one Lord Harry James Potter."

This drew several gasps from the audience and the reporter's quills were in overdrive as Harry was dragged barley conscious but still defiant in front of everyone.

"Here I give you 'the boy-who-died' Avada Kedavra" Voldemort all but screamed as the green light left his wand.

The last thing Harry saw before he died was the gleeful look in those crimson eyes as Dumbledore started firing spells at him.

-Flashback end-

He started to look around his white version of Hogwarts. He was in his dorm room. He left and went downstairs to see what or who was around. When he eventually made it to the common room he saw a hooded figure over by the fire place, the figure turned around when Harry cleared his throat. When the figure turned around Harry took a step backward in shock when he realized it was a skeleton.

"Harry Potter" the skeleton said in what could only be described as an amused voice

"Umm hello"

"You must be wondering where you are"

"Hogwarts" Harry replied almost instantly "or what at least looks like Hogwarts"

"Yes well this is the realm of the dead, or the afterlife as you might call it."

"So I am dead then?" Harry asked

"Yes you are. But. And it's a big but, I am going to send you back, you see as Tom Riddle or lord Voldemort" he said the name with distaste "has cheated me of his soul. You see I am death and he has found immortality." Death made a face "Well almost anyway."

"Almost?"

"It can be undone. And I will help you as I cannot step foot in the mortal world I need someone to go and do the ritual to allow my army through into the mortal realm. Which I am hoping you will do for me. You would have control of them they would follow every order you give them."

"Of course if it will save lives count me in. but why me?"

"You will still have to fight as my loving brother 'fate' has decided that you will be the one to

Kill Tom Riddle and he did so by unleashing a prophecy which goes along the lines of 'The one with the power to vanquish the - Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.., the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...'so as you can see I need you to go back so he can be put down like he deserves"

"I'm in. there is only one problem, I have no wand and my body is in no state to fight."

"I will implant some of my magical knowledge into your mind but you will need to train up to use it, don't expect it to work first time every time. I will also remove any magical blocks from you and give you as much information about how to end Voldemort's immortality as I can without my brother kicking up a fuss."

"Let's do it"

Three hours later Harry had a far better knowledge on magic including horcruxes, runes and rituals (specifically how to bring the angels of death to the mortal world.).

"It is time for you to go back Harry. You will wake up about two minutes after the killing curse hit you. Good luck"

And with that death tapped he on the forehead and Harry's world went black once more.
