Thanatos smirked as he followed the connection of the split souls to the first one. "Well that takes care of the dark lord now we have to figure out what to do the self-involved light lord."
Harry who had followed right behind him said sarcastically "Are you actually going to let do something? Seeing as you stepped right in and took over the last one or perhaps I'm being too presumptuous and the WE part of that statement is actually the royal 'WE'."
They had arrived in a little shack and they could sense the next soul piece was under the floor. Thanatos ripped open the area of the floor that he could sense the soul from, ignoring the traps that were set on it as they had no effect on him he pulled out the screaming part of Voldemort and reattached it to the other piece he had.
When he completed his task he turned to Harry and said "Well Harry! If you didn't stop to make a plan of action and then argue with me right before a surprise attack then I would not have had to step right in and take over now would I? Now are you going to continue to act like the child that you are, or are you going to actually going to help me finish this and we can be on our merry way? Let me be the one to remind you that you are the one who wanted to help these people, I am only here for the ride."
Feeling annoyed with Thanatos because he really did want to get it over with and he supposed it wasn't such a big deal. Either way Voldemort was gone so he sighed and said
"When I read the old man's soul, I found out he has a lot of secrets. The best way to get them out in the open is get our hands on a pensive hidden inside his office. That will be all the evidence we need to bury him. He takes out the memories so that if there was ever anyone who managed to get past his mind's defences they would not find his deepest darkest secrets, everything he does not want the world to know."
They had moved on and were now in what looked like a vault in Gringotts. Harry could sense the dark objects inside and he knew that this vault belonged to a death eater or someone who was deep into the dark arts. Thanatos didn't even hesitate he picked up a cup that was on a shelf and did the same thing with the soul fragment then left the cup in there before going for the next soul piece with Harry right behind him.
"Okay so we take the pensive and use his darkest secrets against him. If we can't get him brought down to his knees we will have to do it the old fashioned way, turn him into a breeding goat and leave him on a farm somewhere." Thanatos had an evil smirk on his face as if he was imagining Dumbledore as a goat trying to get away from the other goats.
Harry looked at him and said "I never knew you could be so evil."
Thanatos laughed as he answered "I have been neutral for as long as I can remember. I like having this much freedom I can use my powers however I wish without ancient laws putting me on a leash. I mean what is the use of having power if you can't use it the way you want to? There are so many rules to follow I sometimes wonder why we are given all this power if we are not allowed to use it."
Harry smiled and said "Well then, let's cry havoc and slip the dogs of war."
Smiling back Thanatos answered "I like the way you think Harry."
It didn't take long for them to find the missing soul pieces. They now had Tom Riddle's half soul.
Thanatos frowned and said "Okay I know I have seen some weird things in my existence but this takes the cake. Where is the rest of him?"
Harry vaguely remembered the diary and replied "I think I killed half of his soul when I was twelve. It was in a diary, it might have been his first hocrux and therefore the biggest piece."
Thanatos was now scowling as he said "Its weirdos like this who make things so complicated. How am I supposed to reap half a soul?"
In answer Harry said "I think Death has the other half. We have to contact him now and give it to him to get rid of it."
Harry and Thanatos made their way back to the cottage. They began preparations for the ritual to summon Death as soon as they made sure that Draco was okay. Harry stood in the middle of the pentagram they had drawn with Death's objects on him and began a chant. A blinding white light shone before the blackest shadow appeared starting as a tiny hole that got bigger and bigger with every second. When it was big enough for someone to come through it stopped growing just as someone walked through it. Harry felt a little uneasy as he watched the being who came through. He could sense the being was an angel of death but he was not however the one he was seeking.
Thanatos sensed Harry's uneasiness and moved in front him, making Harry scowl in annoyance. He didn't however move away because as much as it annoyed him Thanatos made him feel safe. He watched as the being stepped through, his face was covered with a hoody and had the traditional look of Death, black cloak with a hoody only showing red eyes and a scythe in his hand.
The being's eyes tayed on Harry as it spoke "You are Harry! I have been searching for you through the veil for a long time and I am not the only one. I was able to hijack your call to someone else as you are in my world."
Harry's eyes were wide as asked "What do you mean you have been looking for me? I have never met you? Who else is looking for me?"
The being answered him "At first I was searching for the Harry of this world. He went through the veil just like you did. However …."
Cutting him off Harry asked "…hold on, what do you mean the Harry of this world, I AM THE Harry of this world."
The being shook his head and said "No Harry, your world and this one are very similar. However the Harry here's parents really were the Potters and unlike you he had no connection to other worlds. His life however is almost identical to yours, everything that happened here to him, happened to you in similar fashion hence the reason why you thought you were in your own world."
Looking at Thanatos with shock Harry said "Bugger! If I'm not in my world then where the bloody hell am I?" He shook his head and said "No there are too many things that defy that logic. You must be mistaken."
