The clock on the nightstand in his room changed from 11:59pm to 12:00am. He was sixteen now. A whole year had pretty much gone down the drain, he thought to himself.
Then it happened.
Suddenly Harry felt a huge surge of energy run through him, tainted by darkness. But it wasn't like the time Voldemort had possessed him, with the Snake-like tendrils of hatred wrapping around him and causing him pain. No, this was exhilirating, and he felt his magic had been reinforced one hundred fold. It climbed up his arm, as if slowly devouring him whole, and then it reached his head and exploded, giving him the feeling that he could do anything he wanted. That's when he heard it. A voice in his head, tempting him.
'You feel that, don't you Harry? This is the power to change the world. Not just to kill Voldemort, but to do whatever you want. Together you and I can rule this world. I have the knowledge, and now you have the power. I can do things you've only dreamed about till now. Together we can create an army of demons that will devour anyone in our path, battallions of Dragons far more intelligent and powerful than any wizard, and weapons more terrible than atomic bombs.'
Harry was both horrified and amazed at the same time. 'Who are you?' he asked.
'You can call me Melkor. I am what you would call a God. I was sent here by my creator as punishment for my past actions against him and his creations. But Ive taken a good look at your soul, and you could say that I am you from a past life.' He sent Harry images from his past, which were terrifying and confusing at first until he realized. 'You're from another world?'
'Yes, I am from Arda, a world which I helped create. And then later sought to destroy. Something I'm not as proud of as I once was.' he said sadly.
This got Harry to thinking again. So, he had been a dark lord himself in a past life. 'Has my whole life then, been pennance for what I did when I was you?'
'From what I can see, yes. And I've been with you you're whole life Harry, forced to watch and feel everything, but unable to act. Until now. You're magical core is strong enough now that I can safely grant you some of my own power without your aura imploding. We've been through a lot, and I think it's time we started working together to rid the world of Snake Face. He reminds me so much of one of my old subordinates. He completely lacks a vision for the future. So annoying. I'm going to really enjoy forcibly taking back the blood he stole from us.' This idea had yet to occur to Harry, and he smirked at the thought. Then he yawned.
'Well', thought Harry. 'This does explain a lot. But I'm tired at the moment. Can we work out a plan tomorrow?'
He felt rather than heard Melkor's assent as he lay down again and drifted off to sleep.
