A/N: Another quick update and only one more chapter after this. Chapter 18 will be the final chapter in this fic. Then you will have to wait until the sequel to know what happens next.
Thanks to the following for reviewing: jbfritz and anoigma
Black-Hood: Glad you liked it I thought people would object to what happened.
ranma hibiki: Lord Rettop sent Harry back and time and vanished. Harry then goes through time until he meets his younger self, which he will then merge with. Which will all be explained in this chapter or the next.
Silverscale: Too funny man and keep that gay ass dino away from me lmao
darth: I am not a Star Wars fan but that was funny.
Slash&Burn: I haven't read HBP yet cause my wife is reading it, I will read it when she is done. As for the Love Potion well yeah my potion was a bit unbelievable, but it served its purpose in making Lily loath James more. As for the visitor I can't say who she is or isn't because she plays a role later on in the series.
Shadowed Rains: first off he didn't forget the warning he just wasn't thinking much about it with the other problems he has. No it isn't Snape that is the traitor because the mark Harry gives his followers, if they try to turn on him they will die a slow and very painful death.
highbrass: The transfer of power from old to young Harry was not intentional and when they merge the power combines anyway, so the flux of power at the time don't really matter in the end.
Disclaimer: Lord Grac, Damon Frost, and any other wizards that you do not know from HP are mine. They come from the novel that I am writing and have been used since I know so much about them.
Chapter Seventeen: Death to Potter
Harry knew that his birth was now secured even if he was his own father, but now he had to start planning for the end of his control of Voldemort. He didn't care that James would die because he couldn't stand the guy once he got to know him. Though he hoped that the necklace he gave Lily would really save her life. If it did then he would have her by his side, but if it didn't then it would be really hard to get over her death.
Dumbledore was excited to find out that Lily gave birth on the last day of July, because that meant that the prophecy would now be on the shoulders of one of his descendants. He had hoped to take the glory for killing Voldemort, but he would instead craft the very weapon that would bring down the Dark Lord.
Harry knew that he had to find a way to remember where the Potter's Godric's Hollow cottage was located because once they went into hiding and the Fidelius Charm was used he would not be able to remember it any more. The only way for him to hear where it was located was to get the Secret-Keeper, Peter Pettigrew, to tell him where it was. Though Wormtail wouldn't just tell him unless he managed to be in the room when he told Voldemort.
Harry also had to make sure that Sirius wasn't to blame for James' death, so he would have to get proof that he wasn't the Secret-Keeper. The best way was to prevent him from going after Peter, and to bring Peter to justice on his own.
Harry knew what he had to do, now all he had to do was wait until the time came to do it. The waiting was what always ate at Harry because he wasn't a patient man in the slightest bit.
Harry was sitting on his throne in his throne room completely bored out of his mind after reading all the books in his library. He really needed to find something to do, and had considered heading back to America to do some work as a Hit Wizard since he had all this free time now that he quit his job as the Potions Professor at Hogwarts
As Harry was sitting there thinking about returning to America he felt a strange surge of magic inside his throne room. It was the same surge that he felt in his classroom a few years back. As he looked up he saw the same girl as before and she still looked to be about sixteen years of age with shining emerald green eyes, long golden blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, just like when he first saw her.
Harry stared at her for a moment. "Who are you and how did you get in here?"
"As I said before my name doesn't matter, as for my entering here, I can go anywhere that you are. Harry you have been changing so much, but yet you haven't thought about the traitors. When I returned I found minor changes, but your downfall still occurs. You must really consider what I say and heed my warning for one day you will be brought down by those you claim to be friends."
Harry had no idea what to think as the girl looked at him. "You have to tell me more or I wont be able to know what you mean."
"You must beware of the fiery one most all for it is that one that will start the spiral to damnation. Beware the more you spite fate, the more fate wants revenge! Fate will be an enemy of yours soon enough, so get rid of the traitors before fate steps in." the girl said as she once again disappeared, and again Harry felt the flow of time return to normal.
"The fiery one? What in the bloody hell is that suppose to mean?" Harry asked himself as he tried to piece together what in the world that girl had been saying to him. 'I know fate wont be happy with my changes, but what is the worst that could happen?'
Harry had to get some space between him and his younger self as it was taking a lot of energy to keep time from binding him with his younger self. He couldn't allow that to happen, not before Voldemort's attack, and even after that he didn't like the idea too much. Though he figured he would still be able to transform, so it wouldn't be all that bad.
Harry decided to go back to America and instantly he was able to pick up where he left off. There was always some dark wizard with a bounty on his head, so there was always a need for a Hit Wizard.
Harry really missed the excitement that he felt when off in search of some wizard that thought they were better than he was. That was when he met up with a wizard that would change a few things in his life, and not necessarily for the better.
Damon FrostHarry had found out that a group of wizards calling themselves Mage Knights were working for a Dark Lord by the name of Lord Grac. One of these dark wizards named Damon Frost was supposedly the ringleader in Las Vegas, Nevada and was looking to recruit young wizards to work for him.
Damon was said to be a power wizard himself and possessed a few mage qualities. He was also said to have harnessed the power of wind and used it as well as an Elemental would. The man was said to have set up inside a muggle casino and was using it to rob the muggles of their money in a legal fashion known as gambling. Only Damon had an ace up his sleeve, so to speak. He used his magic to rig the games so the muggles would think they were winning and then they would sink all the money back into the games.
Damon had quite a scheme going, and by all accounts the American Ministry couldn't find grounds to arrest him since he was in a way stealing the money legally. Though there were a few charges filled, which brought Harry into it.
The ministry wanted Damon in connection with the Mage Knights, since he was a suspected member of that group. They figured if they could get someone on the inside they would also be able to nail him for misuse of magic, and a few other charges for his 'crimes' against muggles.
Harry exchanged some Galleons into American muggle currency as he made his way to Las Vegas, Nevada. He also bought a set of nice looking muggle clothes, and did his best to come off an average muggle just out to have a good time. He wanted to get a feel for the place before he decided how to approach the situation considering he had never been in a casino before.
Harry stood outside the casino he knew Damon owned and looked at it. It was a huge casino like most in Las Vegas with its bright lights and flashes signs. He slowly walked in and instantly he could feel slight amounts of magic within the casino, due to his highly skilled magical sensors.
He made his way through the casino and was just eyeing up some of the games while taking in which of them had more magical energy coming off them. mainly the big money machines had the most magical energy so they could get a lot more money off the people inside.
Harry walked over to once of the slot machines and sat down in front of it. It cost a quarter a credit, so Harry put in a five and got twenty credits. He went through the credits pretty quick and was catching on to how the magic worked to scam the players. There was a charm on it that drove you to keep playing even when you knew you were going to lose all your money.
Harry spent a few hours playing each of the machines and all the higher priced ones were set up pretty much the same. Harry was really impressed with the way Damon had set up the place, but he also knew he could beat it too. Harry called it a night and went to get a hotel room in the casino. He would wait and start playing for 'real' the next day that way he could get some of his money back.
The next day Harry put operation bandit into effect. He would simply counter the charms on a few machines that he played at and win a small amount of money back from the casino. He had to be careful though if Damon was as powerful as he was rumored to be he might be able to catch on to what he was doing.
Sure enough an hour later as Harry hit his sixth jackpot Damon was alerted to his winning streak by one of the pit bosses he had. Damon watch Harry was he worked and then grinned to himself.
"Excuse me sir, but I am afraid I will have to ask you to come with me?" a big African American male said as he looked at Harry.
Harry looked at the man for a moment before speaking. "What's wrong?"
"Sir, the owner of the casino has requested a word with you in his office. Now please come with me." The man said as he motioned for Harry to follow him.
Harry grinned to himself 'About time I was wondering how long it would take for Damon to ask for a word with me.' Harry thought as he followed the guard through the casino to a private office on the ground floor.
Harry kept his emotions well hidden as he sat down in front of Damon Frost. "You wished to see me?"
Damon Frost was dressed in a business suit and tie as he sat behind his desk. "You seemed to have some amazing luck out there. Would you mind explaining to me just how you managed to win six jackpots?"
"As you sir amazing luck I suppose." Harry said as he looked at Damon never once taking his eyes on the wizard.
Damon looked at Harry for a moment as if he was deep in thought. "I doubt that luck actually played much of a role in your winning streak. In fact I believe that you are not just some muggle who got lucky are you?"
Harry knew he was caught and there was no point in denying it. Harry slightly moved his hand unseen by Damon and placed a sealing charm and silencing charm on the office so no one could hear them or get in to the office. "You are quite right Mr. Frost I am not a simple muggle, I am in fact a very power wizard. I have knew exactly what you were doing here, and found it quite easy to counter your charms. In fact Mr. Frost I am a bit amazed that they were that simple to counter considering you are supposed to be a powerful wizard yourself."
Damon stood up and looked at Harry with rage building in his eyes. "I am a powerful wizard, it would serve you well to remember that! Just who the hell do you think you are to talking to me that way?"
Harry stood up and grin he started to change his appearance into that of Lord Ragnarok. "The name is Potter, but my followers call me Lord Ragnarok!"
"Well then Potter I think it is time you learned some respect!" Damon said as he aimed his hand at Harry.
"Bigger wizards than you have tried and failed." Harry said as he moved his hand and made Damon's wand fly out of his hand and into Harry's hand. "Now then Mr. Frost where is your boss?"
"Go to hell!" Damon said as he stood his ground in defiance even without his wand.
Harry laughed slightly as he extended his hand and slowly moved it up making Damon rise off the floor. "I am sure I will see you there, now I wont ask you again where is your boss?"
"I will die before I tell you!" Damon said defiantly though there was a trace of fear in his voice as he was suspended in the air.
Harry started to close his fingers into a fist and Damon left out a gasp as if he were being choked. "That's not a bad idea, either way I win!" Harry moved his hand forward in a quick movement and released his clutched fist. As he did Damon went flying into the wall and lumped to the ground.
Damon was a bit stunned, but recovered quickly and moved his hand making his wand fly back to him. "Kill me if you can! Camiento!"
Harry quickly put up a shield to protect him from the crushing curse that was sent at him. "Crucio, Expelliarmus, Crucio, Dementorcy!"
Damon ducked under his desk to avoid the curses, but soon found that it did him little good cause he was unable to send any spells back. He cursed under his breath as he looked at his situation.
Harry grinned knowing that Damon was trapped. "Give up and I will let you live!"
"Never!" Damon yelled back though he knew he had little chance to fight his way out of this.
"Suit yourself alive or dead I still win." Harry said as he transfigured a section of wall behind Damon's desk into a mirror and sent a stunner a second later that hit Damon before he even knew what happened.
Harry walked around and pulled him out from under the desk and put him in a full body bind before reviving him. With a grin of victory Harry looked down at him. "You lose, now tell me where your Lord is or I will kill you."
"Fuck you!" Damon said as he stared up at Harry.
"Sorry you're not my type." Harry said as he aimed his wand at him. "I gave you a chance to live, but you decided death was the answer, so as your judge, jury, and executioner I here by sentence you to death to be carried out post haste. Necroquickin!"
There was a bright flash as the curse hit Damon killing him and transferring his life, magic, and memories to Harry. Harry dropped to the floor as he was nailed by all the information and power that Damon had inside him.
It took an hour for Harry to full recover from the massive transfer. After he recovered he got rid of the body and then took on the appearance of Damon Frost. He had every aspect of the man right down to the marking he wore on his right forearm.
Along with the new appearance and power Harry also gain the knowledge of where Lord Grac was and all his loyal followers. Not to mention that he also gain possession of the casino that Damon owned, which would add to his nice collection of properties he will own in England in time.
Harry spent some time in America building his small empire out of what Damon owned. He was gathering all the recruits that Damon planned on getting, but instead of marking them as Lord Grac's followers he marked them as his own.
The down side to killing Damon Frost with the Necroquickin curse was that Harry turned even darker and he also gained Damon's lust for money and power, which drove him a bit closer to being evil in nature. Though he had power and money already the lust was still there to have more.
October 1981Harry stayed in America until October of 1981 and then he knew he had to leave for England so he would be able to watch Voldemort kill James and to make sure that he didn't get to kill Lily.
Harry still had control of Voldemort when he returned so it wasn't hard to find out where Voldemort was hiding. Harry was glad that he had sent Voldemort after the Potter's after making him believe that the Longbottom's had nothing to do with the prophecy. Harry gave him the thought that Potter was the child that needed killed, so Voldemort never sent his Death Eaters after Frank and Alice Longbottom, which meant they were never tortured into insanity. Once Harry arrived at Voldemort's mansion he simply had to get Voldemort to bring his little rat spy in and tell him where the Potter's cottage was.
Harry stayed in his shadow form as he waited and finally Wormtail showed up and started to tell Voldemort where the Potters were located. This is what he had wanted; he now knew the location, the date, and the time of the attack.
Harry drifted out of the mansion following Wormtail and waited until they were clear of it before he froze time. Harry set up a full body bind behind Wormtail so he would be hit with it and then Harry unfroze time and watched as Peter fell to the ground.
Harry looked him right in the eyes with a gleam of rage in his. "Wormtail you don't know how much I wish to kill you right now, but seeing as James deserves to die I wont kill you. Though I will not allow you to take Sirius down for what you did."
Peter couldn't move, but he knew he was in trouble as he saw the man standing over him. Harry sent a stunner down knocking Wormtail out and then Apparated him into the holding cell at Lily's old place, which Harry had bought for her.
Once Harry had Wormtail tucked away in the cell he just had to wait, but decided to do his waiting at the Potter estate. He just hoped he would be able to over come the pull of time that his younger self had on him.
Harry stayed in shadow form as he watched Lily closely. He had missed her more than he had realized until he saw her holding their baby in her arms.
"Oh Harry how I wish you were here to see yourself as a baby." Lily said quietly as she rocked the baby back in fourth in her arms. "I miss you so much and yet I may never get to see you again."
Harry couldn't take it any more and froze time then turned into his normal form when he met with Lily. He then unfroze her and his younger self. "Lily I am here."
Lily about jumped out of the chair she was sitting in. "Harry!" Lily quickly laid baby Harry in his crib and then went to hug the older Harry. "Harry how did you find me? When did you find me?"
Harry held on to her wishing to never let go, but finally after a long embrace he pulled away and looked into her teary eyes. "I just got here a little bit ago. As for how I found you, well as I said you would only be married until 1981. In fact you only have one more day to be married as Peter Pettigrew has told Voldemort where you are hiding."
"You have to get young Harry out of here." Lily said as she looked at him with fear in her eyes.
Harry pulled Lily close again. "Lils you know I can't do that. I have to let this event happen as it was meant to or else I will never be marked as his equal and will never have to power to beat him."
Lily knew he was right and she also knew that he would survive though she didn't know what to make of all that was about to happen.
Harry decided to spend some time with Lily, so he found James and knocked him out so he could spend time with Lily without having time frozen to do it. Harry was experiencing something very few people ever do, and he wanted to cherish the moments he could before Voldemort attack.
Harry left James out of his state of unconsciousness, so he would be in position when Voldemort attack. Harry stayed in his shadow form as he waited for Voldemort to strike.
Harry saw the door blast open and watched as Voldemort entered the small cottage. James pulled out his wand and aimed it at Voldemort. "Lily get Harry and get out of here!"
Harry watched as Voldemort and James exchanged curses until finally Harry saw the Avada Kedavra curse streak towards James. In an instant his want to be father would be dead, but this wasn't what Harry wanted. Harry quickly froze time and hauled the curse just as it about it James.
Harry then unfroze James and watched his eyes widen with fear as he saw the streak frozen in front of him. Harry then appeared in his form that he used with Lily the form of Harry Potter at the age of eighteen.
"Hello dad." Harry said as he looked at James.
James turned to see a man standing there calling me dad. "Harry?"
"That's correct dad, how does it feel to know that you are a second away from death?" Harry asked as he looked at his father.
"You froze time to save me?" James asked as he looked at his son.
Harry laughed slightly. "Not exactly James. You see before I didn't know much about you, but now that I know how big of an asshole you really are I can't think of anything better than for you to die. Oh yeah I can, for you to die at my hand! Necroquickin!"
There is a flash of light as the curse hit a very shocked James Potter and as he fell dead to the floor Harry absorbs all that he can from him. After a few minutes of absorbing it all Harry levitated James so his body would be in the right position to be hit by the killing curse. He then turned into his shadow form and unfroze time allowing the curse to hit James' body right as it was about to fall back down.
Harry drifted up where Lily was protecting baby Harry with her life as Voldemort burst through the door into the room. "There is no reason for you to die tonight just give me the boy!" Voldemort said sternly as he looked at Lily.
"Never I would gladly die first!" Lily said as she used her boy to shield baby Harry.
Harry prayed that his necklace would work as Voldemort sent the Avada Kedavra curse at Lily. There was a steak of green light that nailed Lily directly on, and she seemed to shimmer a faint green color and then fell to the floor.
Harry gasped as he watched her fall. 'Did my necklace work?' Harry thought as he watched Voldemort aim his wand at baby Harry and sent the curse right at him. The spell rebounded off the baby and hit Voldemort separating his soul from his body. Harry heard his younger form cry as the spell hit him, and then there was an explosion that rocked the whole house.
Harry quickly froze time to prevent the whole house form caving in on Lily as he saw his younger self already levitating out of his crib. Harry turned human and unfroze Lily and started to check if she was dead, and was relieved that she was merely stunned by the spell. The necklace had protected her from dying like he planned, but he didn't know how it would effect her.
Harry revived her and then told her to grab the baby and Apparate out of the house to his castle. Harry unfroze his baby form and watched as Lily grabbed him and Apparated away. Harry turned to look at Voldemort's soul as it tried to escape to go into hiding. "We will meet again Tom and though it isn't entirely your fault that you became who you did I have no choice in what I must do. I promise you that I will finally bring peace to you Voldemort by killing you!"
Harry Apparated outside the house and unfroze time as he turned into a shadow. He watched as the house collapsed inward causing a huge dust cloud to escape into the air. As Harry drifted about for a moment Hagrid came booming towards the cottage as Sirius flew in on his motorcycle.
Sirius looked at the house and its condition as Hagrid reached his bike. "Hagrid what happened?"
"Dark Lord!" was all that Hagrid managed to get out as he looked at the house.
Harry knew that things were going to get real interesting, real soon, since the baby Harry wasn't sitting there waiting for them.
"Harry! I'm going to kill him!" Sirius screamed as he ran for the collapsed building looking desperately for the baby. He already knew that James and Lily were probably dead if what he heard from the future Harry was correct, so he focused on finding the baby.
