Full Summary: When the present is so very wrong the only hope is the past. When you give a king a sword all you can hope is that he will use it wisely. In a dark future the immortal man, Harry Potter, is a prisoner turned weapon for the people he once saved. But a single hope finds him and sends him back in time where a broken man might one day find himself again. Unfortunately his savior doesn't know the Dark Lord. Without memory and only ordered to serve, Harry is rocketed back into the past during Voldemort's first rise.
A/N: AU. Harry Potter time travel fic. Future!Creature!MoD!Harry, Harry/ Voldemort. Kind of V for Vendetta-esque.
Updated Author's Note: This is a dark story it is not kind to its characters. I will try to make sure that content warnings are marked before each chapter just read the author's notes.
Disclaimer: It shouldn't need to be said but I quite obviously own none of these characters or their world. My wallet firmly agrees with me on this- it has pocket lint.
Chapter 1: Once A Man
He was a hero once. Or at least that's what they say. It sounds like fiction if you try to read the records. Not that most people could. They've been classified for ages. Most people wouldn't even remember who he was before.
He was a man once...history says he was a great man, perhaps even a good one.
Now though...there's nothing left of whoever that man was. I don't even think he would answer to his own name anymore. Not after what was done to him.
Looking at the creature they keep its hard to guess that it was ever more than a weapon. Its almost sad...no it is sad, we've just gotten use to it is all. They drag him out to fight their battles and then put him back when they have no use for him. Locked away, slowly driven mad- without sight, sound, or even touch. The only hand he's known is the one that beat and lashed him when he disobeyed. Not that he does anymore.
Its been like this for generations now. I stole into the archives once. I wanted to know...Now? I'm sorry that I do.
He was captured but never killed. Even though he should have been. I almost wish he had been. No one deserves what's happened to him. He was changed after that, into something more...something we still don't have words for. Anyone other than him would have died, but he didn't- still doesn't.
History gets fuzzy about if he escaped, was rescued, or if he was simply set loose. It doesn't really matter now. It didn't matter then either. After he was freed and returned to his own people he did what everyone expected. he fought, and fought hard. Some of the archives say his enemies begged for mercy that never came. When the fighting was done he was something...else. More than a man but less than human. History says he went to ground after that. That he made a new life for himself. Or he did until his old one caught up with him. Power like his couldn't be allowed to roam free. He was captured and anyone who tried to get in the way was executed. Everyone who had tried to come to his aid was cut down like blades of grass and they brought him here. That was a very long time ago.
After he was brought here they tried to kill him. Dozens of times. Every way they could imagine they tried and still he didn't die. What do you do with a threat you can't kill? The only thing they could do was make use of it.
The things they did...the spells they used...were it anyone else, aimed at anyone else. They would have had a one way ticket to Azkaban. They took a man and they trained him, tortured and shaped him. It went on for years until you would never guess who their monster had been. He's been passed from handler to handler. Forgotten by history. Denied all that it means to be human.
The prisoner.
The soldier.
The weapon.
The master of death.
The boy-who-lived
The man-who-would-not-die
Harry Potter.
Nekoanima: I know new story, probably lame idea and unfortunately I'm going to make it a standing notice on all my stories that they may not be completed (I'll try of course but I can't promise I will). Also no I don't have a Beta (I'm not quite sure how to get one either to be honest)
