Prologue
It was a dark and spooky Halloween night in Godric's Hollow. Kids ran around like headless chickens in their little costumes and little baskets, asking for candy, and occasionally getting some. While one of the definitely interesting things in Godric's Hollow was the tall and dark man with the deadly pale skin stalking around, contemplating whether or not to release the children from their mortal shells, he's not more interesting than the wee Harry Potter, playing with his toy doggie.
And Ouranos thought so too. It had been a year since he had reformed, right in the house of the Potters. Why there? He didn't know. Reforming was a rather random process. Why, it even happened at the exact moment he was going to make the winning move in his chess game with Void, in the void, where he temporarily resided. A fact that made Void's day, even though Ouranos didn't know that.
He had been rather lucky to be able to reform. It had been rather stupid of his kids to cut him up on the surface of the earth, for he still was in contact with the sky, which ended up saving his consciousness. Which gave him the ability to reform. Of course Ouranos wanted to be signed up for reformation immediately when he heard it, further exasperating the at the time already annoyed Void.
When he reformed, the house was empty, so Ouranos took this opportunity, and raided the kitchen, the way Chaos showed him to. It was only after his second ham sandwich that he heard the front door opening. Ouranos quickly did something godly for the first time since he reformed, and changed to air to escape without being seen. But after a while he came back for his other sandwich, and didn't go away again.
Since then he had stayed with the Potters. Occasionally, Lily screamed at James for eating too much, when he hadn't eaten more than he normally did. And sometimes, when little Harry went up on his broom, he could fly way too well for an almost four months old child. Luckily James loved it, envisioning Harry as a professional Quidditch player. Ouranos found it all amusing.
But, as he watched Harry play with his dog in his crib, he knew that these happy times had to come to an end. He would soon have to find some other place of residence. Preferably without the other gods realizing he was back yet. He didn't want to deal with his Grandchildren yet. Too much bad blood. He only realized in the void how bad of a father he had really been. No, he liked where he was. Too bad that he attracted a lot of magical and mythological beings with his presence.
He just had to decide a reward for the (unknowing) hospitality of Lily and James. Maybe he would bless their bloodline or something, or maybe he would reveal himself and stay a family friend (wishful thinking). Maybe he would become their patron deity…
At that moment, he heard screaming below. It was James. He was shouting something at Lily, and Ouranos didn't hesitate for a second. Immediately he teleported to the hall, where he saw James being hit by a green light out of the wand of someone who seemed like some kind of idiot who had chopped of his nose. But then James fell on the ground, and he felt his last breath leave James's body, and he became serious. Immediately the noseless man dropped his wand, and brought his hands to his throat, choking. In a few seconds, he was dead. Lily looked on, puzzled, before her memories caught up with her. She crashed down next to her now dead husband, and began crying.
It escaped her how a dark mist rose up from Voldemort, and how the mist went to the room of the youngest resident. Ouranos didn't miss it, and teleported to Harry's room, only to see the mist enter Lily's son. Fury rose in his spirit, and he immediately dived in after the mist, to purge Harry of this vile creature which didn't deserve to be called a man. But he wasn't a god of the dead, and when he exited Harry again, purged and well, Harry stopped moving.
Searching within himself, he found that he had accidentally incorporated Harry in his own being. Harry was now part of him. Harry was Ouranos, and Ouranos was Harry. He could even remember his (Harry's) last thoughts, wondering when he would get something yummy again.
After a few minutes of some hard thinking, Ouranos came to a decision. It was partly his fault Harry was no more, and he would be a right bastard, worthy of his former him from the Ancient Times, if he did nothing right now. Besides, he also needed refuge from his family, and his decision would solve that problem too.
Without much ado, Ouranos dove into Harry's (his) body again, and incorporated it as one of his forms.
And so Ouranos became Harry Potter.
