Hey guys, Sorry for the long disappearance. I've been frustrated with myself and had the lack of will to continue moving on in life. But, beside the point, I've been thinking a bit and I'm just typing story based off what I've been feeling in my life. If you like the story then comment but this isn't an absolute story so it will all depend on how I still feel tomorrow if I wish to write another chapter. All of my other projects are being put on pause except this one. I just haven't had the heart to finish all the chapters I have for the other stories. As always, I don't own the characters in this story except for the OMC's and this will be an eventual slash if I do decide to continue it. Enjoy and Review for any improvements you wish to see.

Chapter 1: The Two Sides of a Coin
Harry Potter should've been happy after the battle of Hogwarts, He had defeated the Dark Lord and won the war. But after 5 years of hunting down Death Eaters and Dark Supporters under the request of the Ministry and the Order as an Auror, He found his emotional well-being decline.
After catching Dark Families and either killing them under the orders of the Ministry or Capturing them for interrogation, He felt like this was the wrong thing to do. Watching the hopelessness of each family as they were slowly killed by him and his team wore on his nerves, haunting him in his sleep.
Dreams of the final battle imprinted themselves in his mind as he saw the golden light rush towards Voldemort and destroyed him, Watching his friends and family who had died pleading for him to save them. Remus and Sirius shaking their head in disappointment as he finally killed Voldemort. His own mentor, Albus Dumbledore, staring at him in disappointment calling him a monster.
On some occasions it wouldn't even be Voldemort he was killing, replacing the snake faced monster would be an alluring red eyed, Black haired male who stared at Harry with something akin to sadness in his eyes as he fired the killing curse "Avadra Kevavra". In short, the nightmares never ended for him.
Now 23 years old, Harry sat on a couch in his apartment on the 2nd floor of a muggle building. The ministry had given him a month off after his declining work and the new minister, Kingsley told him to rest. He had woken up from the nightmares once more and shook off the now permanent dread that seemed to haunt his body. After making a cup of coffee and some eggs with bacon, He went into his dining room and began eating as much as he could.
Staring at the empty cage in the small corner of the room, He remembered his one true friend, a gift from Hagrid for his 11th birthday, A dark chuckle passed his lips as he thought about how she could've survived and live to see an old age, Everyone could've lived if he acted faster. Shaking off his self-pity, he banished the half eaten plate of food and sat in the chair nursing his cup of coffee.
His thoughts turned to his ex-friends. After the battle, they had both gotten Orders of Merlin and used the extensive amount of money to get married. They haven't talked to him since the wedding much to his anger, save the twins, Charlie and Bill. None of the Weasley's even talked to him after he left Ginny.
The only thing that kept him from self-destruction was his work, shaking out of his muse. Harry heard a banging on his door and walked over to it. "Who is it?" He spoke, curiosity evident in his otherwise flat voice.
Looking through the peep hole, He saw it was some auror's led by Ron. Opening the door, He greeted them only to be shocked when a binding spell was shot at him "Incarcerus."(1) Falling back from the force of the spell, He heard Ron speak in a voice speak as a kick was launched at his side. "Your under arrest for the murder of Ginerva Weasley, I knew you'd go dark Potter." Ron said savagely as he glared at his once best friend.
Shaking off the pain and confusion, Harry spoke angrily, voicing his disbelief." What are you talking about Ron, Why would I kill your sister?" He was met with a savage kick to his head as splotches of black filled his vision. "Shut up Potter, Your magical signature was found all over the crime scene, you're going to pay for this you snake. Stupefy!" The last thing he saw before darkness took him was Ron grinning savagely at him, the treachery in Harry's eyes reflected by the dark Blue of the Weasley's.
2 weeks later
The trial itself was small and private where he was convicted of murdering Ginny, He watched as Ron spoke against him and how he was bound to turn into a dark wizard. All the while receiving glares from Ms, Weasley and Percy who recorded the trial. After public cries of his defense from the twins, Charlie, Bill and Hermione who had broken up with Ron, The case was closed in secret. Only the ministry and the prosecutors were allowed.
The trial was fast but rigged, with no one to represent him despite his pleas. The verdict was reached with him being sentenced to death by the Veil and all his assets going to the Weasleys. After being tossed in a holding cell in the ministry with his death sentence scheduled for tomorrow, Harry gave up hope.
With the end of his miserable life near, He awaited, bound by magic draining chains, for the next half of his adventure, until the sound of his cage was opened. Opening his dulled green eyes, He was met with the sight of Ron and Hermione. Ron laughed and sneered saying, "Oh the mighty have fallen huh Potter, Thanks for the money by the way. Although it could've came a little sooner." Glaring at Ron in confusion, He was met with the sight Hermione morphing into Ginny!
Voicing his confusion, He was slapped hard by Ron who snarled. "You had all the money in the world, yet you never wanted to share it despite knowing we were poor, well we hatched a plan to take it all. How easy it was to fool the ministry and Imperius Kingsley into letting this trial pass through. Ginny transfigured a dead body into hers and we let the rest play out." Tossing a newspaper in front of the confused Boy-Who Lived, He barely read the headline "Boy Who Lived the Next Dark Lord, Sentenced to Death." Shaking his head, He whispered, His voice cracked from lack of use. "You could've had all the money, all I wanted was my parents back and to survive the mad man." Shaking his head, He felt tears fall from his face. Laughter was met as Ron pulled out a letter from his pocket and began reading it.
Potter,
If you're reading this then I am dead and Dumbledore has won, I am sorry for the life you had but as a former Dark Lord, I must preserve the line of our ancestry. There are some things you must know before you truly hate me. As of now, my banks have gone to you from your victory over me. But you must know you were supposed to be the next Dark Lord. In the beginning of Wizarding kind, Magic gifted us with her power. With the condition that there were two champions who were bonded through her power and balanced out the forces of what we called Dark and Light magic. Dumbledore hunted down the previous Light Lord and took his powers killing him and becoming the false light lord. He….killed my mate and the waged war on all things considered dark.
You were chosen by magic to become the next Dark Lord but due to Dumbledore's manipulation, you never got the chance to claim your power and the cycle was messed up to the point of self-destruction. The world cannot survive without the embodiment of Dark and Light. I am sorry I have failed magic and you, maybe in another life we would've been like mentor and student, but due to one mans greed for power, he has doomed us all. Life your life for as long as you can Potter, Hate me if you must but please, as the last Dark Lord, Please do not destroy the darkness. Dark doesn't equal Evil, Light doesn't equal good. Live your life Potter and Protect both light and dark equally as the originals were supposed to.
Tom Marvelo Riddle (Lord Voldemort)
Laughing, Ron casted a burning spell and tossed the letter away. "You failed Potter, The light will continue to destroy the dark and the world will be purified. Thanks to you, we were able to begin the task Dumbledore left us but thanks to your treachery, No one will save the dark. Good bye Potter, Enjoy the veil and tell your dear Dark Lord how you failed." Walking out, Harry watch in anguish as the door was slammed for the last time sealing his fate, as well as the rest of the worlds.
Harry stood before the veil hearing the voices of the dead whisper to him. "By order of the Ministry of Magic, Harry James Potter is sentenced to Death by Veil for the murder of Ginerva Weasley. Conspiring against the government and association with the one known as Dark Lord Voldemort. If the accused would step into the veil please or we will push him into it."
Turning his back to the veil, Harry spoke angrily, you've doomed our world, Ron, Ginny. I hope you're happy with this. By order of Lord Black-Potter I freeze all assets of one Harry James Potter, May the money be lost in time as my innocence was." Sending a wave of pure magic towards the disguised Ginny, The illusion broke much to the surprise of the watchers and Harry stepped back into the veil, a smile on his face as Ron and Ginny yelled in anger, running to the veil in hopes to catch him. But, they were too late Harry Potter was gone from the world, Moved on to the next great adventure.
'Where am I?' Harry thought as he basked in the light, a warm glow surrounding his once humanoid form. He felt at peace for the first time in forever. Feeling a warm hand on his magic, He heard a voice whisper "Wronged by those who claimed to be his friends and Family. Forced to fight for a destructive cause. Robbed of his birthright and cursed with the gifts of death. You must go back Harry Potter, Your time isn't now and the world will cease to exist. I am placing my trust in you. Go find happiness, this is your one chance to make thing right."
Suddenly, He felt a pushing sensation on himself. As if he was being pulled back into a vortex. Feeling a pain enter his being, He let out a primal yell as his entire form was ripped apart and reformed. His mind blanked out as blackness entered his vision.
"H…He….Hey you okay?" Harry heard through the darkness as the pain in his form lessened, Opening his eyes slightly, and His vision cleared to reveal two males. They would've been twins if not for one who had deep black hair and matching eyes while the other had blond hair and hazel colored eyes. Shaking off his confusion, Harry sat up off the soft grass of what looked like a field and whispered. "Who are you guys, where am I?" The twins smiled and hopped back standing together. The dark haired one proclaimed himself to be Nix, while the light haired one called himself Helios, Chipper smiles on their face as a voice whispered in his head. 'These are the light and dark lords Harry, Protect them, for they protect you, the embodiment of magic as a whole.'
A/N: So what do you guys think, if you want a continuation of this then tell me in review, if you see anything that you don't like or needs changing and I will consider it. I really enjoyed writing this actually so I might make another chapter. As for my other projects they are being put on momentary Hiatus because I cannot keep more than one project active, it messes with my head. I will continue them at another time but for now this will be the main one. Thank you for reading it and I hope you want more of this story.
