Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
So read the Authors note at the end! But 2 quick things firstly this will be a pretty long story and secondly thanks to all that reviewed! And especially to kyunaru I hope you like this chapter! The next will be out tomorrow…
Previously: eyes snapped open revealing not the emerald green of before but shining silver the same color as the mans…
Harry opened his eyes to see a strange man standing over him smiling slightly. The stranger was darkly handsome with pale skin white as milk long straight black hair and shining silver eyes. "Hello Harry, I do not believe you know me my name is Thanatos but you may know me better as death" he said.
Harry stared up curiously then started to laugh and it was a cold bitter sound; of course death came for him personally no just slipping into the afterlife for him. However, the death spoke again "I have quite a story to tell you but perhaps we should leave here so that I can explain and lets just leave this mess here for those pesky friends of yours to find and clean up." And so Thanatos grabbed Harry's arm and for a brief very confusing second it felt like they were flying before Harry landed hard on the ground.
Harry almost panicked but calmed down just in time he thought to himself if he was dead what could happen? So he looked around the room it was warm and welcoming with a roaring fire and walls painted a nice blue color lined with dark wooden bookshelves. Death motioned to a seat across from the fire and sat down in a navy blue armchair. Harry sank down into a chair and waited for the explanation that had to be coming and Thanatos took the hint and smiled again.
"I trust you are waiting for an explanation on why I came to get you after you thought you had died?"
Harry nodded quickly and sat up slightly in his chair; death caught that little move and started to explain "I am many things primarily though I am death you can find me in a battlefield choosing who's time is up, I look after the souls that are neither suited for heaven nor hell, and I am heavily involved in world affairs. I have appeared as dictators and heroes but it seems my most common form was seen as the grim reaper. I found it quite funny that after all these years its still thought of as deaths form. I'm very powerful I can never be killed, I'm filthy rich, and I command legions of souls that are loyal only to me. Lastly, I have powers that I never show anyone like controlling the elements, speed that is almost unparalleled, allies that no one would ever dream of, I know almost all the languages of the ancient and present world, weapons knowledge, different forms, so many powers I think you should know that and that will become important later. My story starts like all stories there is a love interest and I fell in love with an unusual girl. She was elfin and I loved her with all of my being I even had a child with her. However it was not meant to be, she and my 2 year old child were killed in an attack on a village. I lost her. Elves are my allies but they have their own afterlife where I cannot go. And so I appealed to a very ancient priestess that caters to mostly gods but occasionally very special mortals. I begged her for hope that I would receive a new child and she finally relented and told of how I would adopt a wizarding boy in the far far future. But the boy would have had to have faced me and escaped more than twice and finally when this boy did die he would have to embrace the prospect of the unknown with true happiness he had to be ready to die."
Harry felt a little sick this sounded to familiar to him; he had survived many times and had felt so happy when death had seemed imminent. It seemed that though that death wasn't done.
"I was ecstatic when I realized I would have another chance but that was over 1,000 years ago I had grown weary of waiting when I came to claim a young boy fighting against an evil spirit. I was interested when he evaded me so I kept tabs on him. Then a year passed and I almost lost hope again when I was called again to the boy who had received an almost incurable poison in the arm but somehow he left unscathed yet again. Already this had passed the two near death mark and I felt a stirring in my heart that I hadn't felt in centuries. Then again the next year I was called twice to you again once when you were cornered by dementors and then again when you were on your broom and near dementors. You have no idea how close you came to dying that time. Then again and again I was called to you in the next couple of years and I felt sure that you were the one. I watched the horrors that you went through and today when I felt that you had really died I went to your house and kept you in your body before you slipped away. Now there is only one last question will you consent to being my son? I can be the father you never had and you can gain so much from this. All of those powers I listed earlier can be your if you allow me to adopt you or you can choose to pass on where you would reside either here or in heaven. The difference is that if you choose to be my son you can travel to all dimensions and even still live in your former world. There are so many things that have to be explained but if you allow me to adopt you I can give all the explanations you need but you can do what you originally wanted and live a peaceful afterlife."
Harry sat for awhile deep in thought, if he accepted this mans offer he would finally have a father and he could go back to his old world. At first neither of those felt so appealing but then he saw how much Thanatos really did seem to care for him even though he had only just really met him. Then revenge came to mind and a bitter smile stretched its way across his face he could go back to his world and have his revenge on his former friends and maybe change it for the better. He could explore and have his freedom…but would he be betraying his own parents? Finally Harry came to a decision and looked up and said "Yes, I would like to be your son, what happens now?"
