Harry Potter and The Guardians of Life and Death
This was originally intended to be a companion piece to my regretfully aborted story Harry Potter and the Realm of Possibilities. The premise of this story is that instead of just reading the books the Guardians decide to take an active role in the fulfilling of two prophecies and the destiny of one Harry James Potter.

Chapter 1: The call to Action
The lone black cloaked figure was sitting on a very elaborate center throne made of black marble in a massive room on a raised platform with six other unoccupied thrones made of gold, silver, rubies, diamonds, and emeralds.
Suddenly the massive doors opened and six figures approached all cloaked in red. These seven individuals were Maxim Gaius, Morgana La Faye, Merdyn Emrys, Godric Gryffindor, Ruby Gryffindor, Ignotus Peverell, and Lilium Peverell the group was made up of the most powerful witches and wizards who ever lived. Together they were known as The Guardians of Life and Death.
One of them lowered the hood of their cloak revealing a man with long messy black hair and hazel eyes; he looked to the others for confirmation then spoke. "Sire we have come with grave news, we have just come from the viewing chamber where there has been yet another prophecy made about our heir."
The black cloaked figure motioned him to continue.
"The general idea of this new prophesy is that our heir must face off in a duel to the death with a descendant of my brother Cadmus." Spoke one of the red cloaked figures.
"Is that all?" asked the man in black amusedly. "Surely some upstart Dark Lord would be no match for someone of our bloodline."
"Normally no but it seems that he has taken precautions against you personally. The only one able to escort him to the gates of Hell would be our heir and descendant Harry Potter." Answered one of the red cloaked figures whilst lowering the hood to reveal a woman with fiery red hair and sparkling green eyes.
"What manor of precautions has he taken against me my dear Lilium?"
"He has created soul vessels, one of which was a ring that Cadmus made from the resurrection stone that you gave him."
"WHAT?! THAT EVIL SNAKE OF A DARK LORD VIOLATED ONE OF MY SACRED RELICS." Shouted the black cloaked figure.
The six just nodded in confirmation.
"You said soul Vessels as in more than one, how many did he make?" Gaius asked.
"As of October of 1981 he has split his soul seven times before killing Harry's parents due to hearing part of the second prophesy." Lilium answered.
"So we need to train our heir before he must fulfil both of these prophesies." Declared Ignotus.
"I agree, but does anyone have a plan on how to ensure that our heir has everything he requires to succeed?" asked Morgana.
"I believe I may have an idea, but he's going to need a lot of help along the way." said Merdyn.
"I'm sure something can be arranged so that our heir not only gains the tools needed to defeat this Dark Lord but to also reclaim that which has been lost to him, the true source of power, his Family." replied Gaius.
With that the seven Guardians came up with a plan to bring together Harry Potter along with a few others to train them to defeat the Dark Lord who calls himself Lord Voldemort once and for all and fulfil two prophecies.
