Harry felt a sharp rush of electricity through his boy and his eyes that a moment ago felt too heavy to open flew open blinding him with a bright light. His eyes shut just as quickly as he opened after fluttering for a moment he finally adjusted to the light in the room, he then and fumbled up to his feet despite the pain surging through his body.
Harry looked around the room taking in his new surroundings. The bright light was now gone and a new room emerged around where he was standing. Harry quickly grabbed his wand unsure if this was Voldermort tricking his min once again.
He looked around the room slowly. This was different from the rubble Hogwarts now stood in. It was incredibly fifthly and contained a foul smell seemed to be stuck to the walls in the mysterious institution. The dark green walls looked like they had seen better days. The brown titles looked like they were once possibly white or cream. The room contained numerous chairs and persons who sat rather still each one of them paying to mind to the others. Harry scanned the room once more and noticed a sign to the front of the room marked "HELP DESK."
Thinking that was his best option to find out where he was or how he got there he quickly made his way to the counter. He kept his wand close and moved vigilantly to the front. On his way there he saw many curious persons. Some appeared to be in good health while others held severed body parts and even open gashes, others had intense burn marks. His mind was bursting with questions as to why these people sat so still and no go seek medical assistance or at least be screaming out in pain.
He made to the counter and looked at the man behind the counter. He looked like a middle aged man. He had brown hair and dark green eyes. He gave Harry a large smile like they already met.
"Ahh! Mr. Potter didn't reckon seeing you here again so soon! Anubis is going to be mighty angry when she sees you." The man teased. Harry's eyes grew in confusion as he kept his eyes focused on the man in front of him. "I forgot you don't remember meeting me. I would like to fill you in but I fancy my job here it's better than escorting the dead souls. I'll go get Anubis. I reckon she wants to see you immediately."
Harry's eyes opened in realization and confusion. "Am I dead? I thought that if all the horcruxes were destroyed he would be too. Didn't the elder wand's alliance belong to me? That should have rebounded the killing curse when he fired it at me." Harry thoughts were speeding through his mind.
"Oh good Horus! Harry potter why are you here?" A scream a woman who he assumed to be Anubis the man was speaking of. She was pretty to say the least. She was pale almost looked dead. Her long aquamarine hair falling just below the small of her waist and he has plum maroon lips. She wore a simple white gown and looked like an Egyptian goddess. He couldn't help but be mesmerized.
"Oh snap out of it and follow me!" She barked at him and motioned him to walk into a corridor on his left. He obeyed and went down the path until he met her outside a door. "What are you doing here?" she asked calmly with a smile. Harry looked at her confused one moment she was screaming and the next she was so composed. "Answer the question." She asked her voice although sweet sounding was filled with power and venom.
"I- I have no idea really." Harry said softly as followed her into a large office. Out the window there was a view of what appeared to be the entire Earth but Harry thought that was silly and pushed the though from his mind.
"Harry! How could you be so foolish! You make me look like the black sheep my family with all your careless deaths! Do you know how hard I worked to be a senior Death Deity? I worked through a world war, multiple revolutions in the western world and even the French Revolution and none of my clients have ever been as difficult as you! You will make me lose my title as a Death Deity. My uncle Osiris has already warned me against having you as a client but I had to prove myself to him! Why can't you just follow fate's design for your life! Yes it is risky and yes you are the chosen one which means it's not going to be easy! I get that but could you do so without killing yourself! I mean do you know how many souls you are robbing us if you die prematurely? You and your soulmate that girl, what is her name again? Oh I can't remember, you know who some Granger girl. You two were supposed to have three amazingly adorable babies who will go on to have their children and the potter line will live on forever." She ranted while pacing behind her desk.
"I 'm Soulmates with Hermione?!" Harry asked in shock forgetting everything else from her rant.
Anubis smirked. "Tell me you don't feel that warmth when you touch her or the way her presence relaxes you just a little bit more than anyone else's?"
"Yeah but I thought that was because I loved her like a sister that's why she made me feel like that." Harry confessed.
"Oh no dearie!" Anubis said and finally took a seat. "Harry she is your soulmate." She gave him a moment to take that in. When she felt safe that he had digested that much information she continued. "Harry I really can't keep covering for you again. You've died a good few times already and my uncle has had it with your case and you don't want to make him mad. Wha-"
"When did I die again?" Harry asked as he shifted awkwardly in his chair.
Anubis sighed. "When you were five and your aunt took that trip to Spain with her book club. Your bloody uncle beat you and locked you into that blasted cupboard you died from not having your wounds tended to and hunger and dehydration were also contributing factors. There was that time in the chamber of secrets where you happened to accidently look that snake in its eyes. Then in your third year the dementors took your soul along with Sirius', but thanks to the Granger girl and her time turner that was resolved and my uncle was relieved. Fourth year that tri-wizarding tournament had you up here so much more than a willie on thirteen year old boy. You died from being burned to death, then drowning and then the graveyard. You got hit by a killing curse in the ministry of magic by Bellatrix, nasty little witch if you ask me. Then I thought you had learned your lesson, until a few moments ago when you walked into the forest to be killed and now you're here again." She was annoyed but Harry was thankful she was not longer yelling at him.
"I don't remembering dying all those times."
"Of course you don't. It's generally against policy to send you back with any memory of your death. However, I think we can work something out for you." She smiled.
As if some master screenplay writer had directed it; James, Lily and Sirius walked into the room.
Harry instinctively got out of his chair and ran straight to his mother embracing her in a bone crushing hug. "Mum!"
"Harry." She said sweetly holding him tightly. Harry didn't care if Death was upset with him and that he would never get his soulmate right now it was perfect.
"I never thought my son would be a mother's boy." James teased sweetly from the side.
Harry immediately dropped his mother and embraced his father. "Good to see you too dad!' he said jovially.
"What about me?" Sirius asked very seriously.
Harry broke away from his father and ruffled his God-father's hair. "Good boy Fluffy!" Harry exclaimed causing his parents to erupt in laughter.
"Down to business now." Anubis said breaking up the group reunion. "We came up with a plan to fix all your mistakes. We are going to alter the time line down on Earth. What we will do is let James live your life. James will be the boy who lived."
"What about Sirius? He spent many summer's at my father's house where will he go if dad doesn't have parents."
"I have an uncle I could stay with. Mum's twin brother he died shortly before we did." James said and motioned the 'we' he spoke of was Lily and himself. Harry nodded in understanding.
"We will give him all the memories you have of your life and he will take the task on."
"No. I can't let you do that dad!" Harry protested.
"I can. Harry, you're my son and I've let them send you back to the horrible reality you had down there. Now I can take that away from you and protect you!" His father said gently but sternly.
"If you die then what about mum?" Harry asked in hope that his father didn't have an answer.
"We already discussed this Harry, Anubis and all of us here have come up with a full proof plan to effectively defeat Voldemort. We will go back with our memories and we will take on your task." His mum said thoughtfully. Harry still looked uninterested or willing to cooperate with their plan. "Just think you can have that normal life you always want sweetie. Let us take this burden off your shoulders. Let us be your parents. Give me the chance to yell at you for your poor grades and skipping class." She pleaded to her son.
Harry visibly dropped all his walls. "Fine!"
"Great!" Anubis exclaimed. "Here are the conditions; James, Lily, Sirius and Remus who by the way guys just came up, will be given your memories and then I will alter the time line so that the prophecy is made about James and well everything will fall into place. They will have all the memories to help defeat the Tom. The Earlier the better James. Harry you will get access to the memories here once you turn seventeen. Hermione will receive the memories of this when your soulbond is complete. It's important you do not tell anyone out of this room and Remus what is discussed her. Awful things happen to time meddlers. I will bring Remus in while you start on the paper work." As she left a contract landed in front on all of them with a pen and the started to read through signing and initializing where needed.
They all waited to be interrupted with Remus but he didn't enter and the continued to work on their documents. When they were all done they Remus walked in his paper work in hand. He smiled when he saw James and Sirius sitting before him. The men embraced each other in a large group hug.
"How sweet." Lily joked in the corner of the room.
"Lily! Harry!" He said and moved to them embracing them one at a time.
"Ok ok! This is not Venus! We don't encourage all this emotion in the underworld. Can I have everyone's paper work?" Anubis asked and every one handed her their contracts. Anubis nodded and placed them down on her desk. "Well back in time you go! Oh Harry can't wait to meet you when you're a ninety three year old man. Good luck!
And with that the biggest alteration in history started along with all the dominoes that was in line.
