Deaths' Servant

Written By: -Ciel Leon-

Prologue- Interference

Becoming the Master of Death hadn't been his idea.

In fact, becoming the Master of Death was merely the result of several very different extenuating circumstances that all seemed to stem from Voldemort being an asshole-ish Dark lord wanta-be (it was mainly the fact Lord V had found out and subsequently went after the bloody magical items that caused Harry to determine that he needed to get to them beforehand), and Dumbledore being an old wizard thinking he was doing the 'greater good' by granting Harry with practically all three items required to master death.

In all honesty, Harry had- for several moments- contemplated breaking the 'Death Stick' in two pieces, leaving the Resurrection Stone lying where he'd dropped it on the floor of the Forbidden Forest, and locking the Invisibility Cloak away deep within his vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

Only one thing had stopped him from doing all of this; and that reason happened to be Death himself.

Death had decided that Harry breaking the Death Stick would have caused "too much paperwork" and that since Harry- who Death seemed to like- had been the one now owning all three Deathly Hallows, that no matter if Harry wanted to or not, the young boy wizard now was 'officially' titled and 'claimed' by Death as the Master of Death.

It didn't help that Death had prevented Harry from actually forfeiting/ escaping the title.

Death had made it so that even if Harry damaged/got rid of the Hallows and/or killed himself to escape his new title, that Harry would still be the Master of Death and hold the responsibility the title came with.

This 'responsibility' consisted of aiding lingering spirits on the mortal plain, keeping the Shinigami from going crazy and killing a large amount of humans with their 'Death Notes', and to keep said 'Death Notes' out of human hands.

It also just so happened that with this great 'responsibility' that Harry gained three other 'magical' features, the first was the ability to see a person's name and death-date, the second was the ability to automatically see and physically engage (Death had stated this as "Damage, maim and kill if possible."- he apparently disliked Shinigami greatly and hated their 'King' with a greater passion than Death had harbored towards the now dead Voldemort) with the damn ugly beings, and- much to Harry's horror- Death had 'granted' Harry with immortality until the deity decided he wanted the Boy-Who-Had-Kicked-Voldemorts'-Ass's soul.

Harry had ranted at Death for a full fifteen minutes before attempting, and somehow managing to bitch slap the hooded figure.

Apparently being able to kick Shinigami ass also had the added side-effect of enabling Harry to either damage or maim Death himself.

Death had not been pleased.

Harry had simply retorted that it was "his own goddamn fault."

Death had then- most uncharacteristically- slid down the wall of the bridge leading up to Hogwarts' Gates and promptly sulked for five minutes.

Harry hadn't been the least bit impressed.

It had taken several minutes for Harry to gain the ability to speak without letting himself give into the urge to hit the deity again.

The Boy-Who-Lived managed to get Death to elaborate on the whole 'Immortality' deal.

According to Death, Harry would die at the end of his lifetime among his friends and family, but all that would happen was that his soul would be transferred through the mortal planes into Deaths realm- a place he called 'The Death Planes'- where Harry would basically 'live' until he was corporeal enough to actually start his new 'job'.

Death also explained that when he was sent into the mortal plane after his 'death' that he wouldn't be seen or heard by anyone unless he specifically wished to interact with them, or the person somehow had acquired Shinigami eyes.

Since Harry had found out all he needed to know and also come to the realization that he wasn't going to be able to weasel himself out of his new predicament, he simply threw his arms into the air before stalking off.

In response, Death had raised an eyebrow that was hidden within the shadows of his cloak of darkness and chuckled before fazing himself from the mortal world into the Death Planes.

Neither being had any idea of just how soon Harry would wind up dead.

Honestly- it was only a month and two weeks later when Harry reappeared in Deaths' office within the Death Planes after his death, which had been caused by the stupidity of Ministry workers who had been conducting a raid in an attempt to capture the Death Eaters still roaming free in the middle of Diagon Alley.

Harry had been hit by a severing curse in the back of his neck by an Auror two-hundred feet away who had been supposedly aiming for the Death Eater Harry had been dueling with at the time.

Harry had the urge to have Death send him back just so he could punch the moron in the face and at the very least break the idiots' nose.
