Hey Everyone I'm back as promised! So I just wanted to start off with I'm thinking about putting some oc's in here and was wondering if you could all suggest some? Naturally you would have to give a description of looks and house status but other than that it's up to you. You can also suggest yourself if you want! Basically that's all I have for this authors note so far and if I think of anything else I'll put it at the end thanks for reading!
Godric's Hollow October 31, 1981 – noon
"So your Death?"
"Yep"
"As in the god of the dead?"
"Deity not a god easy mistake"
"What would be the difference between the two? Aren't they basically the same thing?"
"Lily I doubt that that is a question we should be asking at the moment when we have someone claiming to be death in our living room."
"Actually James, Lily here brings up a very good point while I am not a god I am an aspect and embodiment of death, there is a being that created us deities but at the same time, we created them. Essentially it is a never-ending cycle of creation and destruction that you will not have to worry about as the next cycle won't happen for a very long time."
"So assuming we believe you are who you say you are why should we trust you?" Asks James finally getting over the initial shock of someone intruding on the fidelus charm surrounding their cottage minus the fact that it was a living skeleton turned young woman.
"Simple I was bored and decided to shake things up a bit in this world!" Proclaims Death with a smile.
"Shake up what exactly?" Asks Lily as she is still trying to comprehend what is going on at the moment.
"Well first and foremost is the matter of Tom killing you and then preventing a certain meddling old coot from getting his way with young Harry upstairs." Death responds as if that is the most obvious thing in the world.
"What do you mean by Tom? The barkeep at the leaky cauldron? Why would he want to kill us he has been nothing but kind to us and our friends for years now?" Asks a thoroughly confused James Potter who is very nearly at wit's end with his mysterious woman in front of him.
"Tom Marvelo Riddle is the real name of the one you all fear so much, the self-proclaimed Lord Voldemort." Exclaims Death with a laugh at the self Proclaimed bit of her statement.
"But how is that possible surely someone would know his true identity and Riddle does not sound like any family that I have heard of or read about in the history books?" Lily asks thoroughly surprised.
"Wow you all ask a lot of questions I should have come later in the day, essentially the reason nobody knows is that he is not a pureblood but a half-blood, if that information got out his followers would begin to question him and quite possibly even desert him. The reason they don't ditch him now even though he is losing is that he is arguably one of the strongest wizards alive and so far has delivered on his promises to his followers. Now as for what you call the light side not knowing…. Geez, light side dark side even has robes and powers sounds like a wizard version of star wars over here… but back on the topic that is due to a power-hungry meddling old coot who wants to keep every secret out there stuffed inside of his oversized beard." Lily looks thoughtful for a few minutes before saying
"You mean Professor Dumbledore, that is who you are talking about right?"
"Yep got it in one the man who is allergic to a razor and loves to think he is an immortal icon of the world."
"That is enough! I will not sit here and allow you to talk down about Professor Dumbledore, he is a great man who wants nothing more than to see Voldemort destroyed and the wizarding world at peace!" James yells, finally getting to wit's end before he turns to Lily
"Lily you can't seriously believe this woman right?! why should we trust her or anything that comes out of her mouth, hell we don't even know if she is who she says she is?!" Just as he finished talking he felt a chill in the air similar to the dementor's presence without the aspect of fear just an empty cold feeling with no emotion or target whatsoever.
"Do you feel that James Potter? That feeling of emptiness of despair? How it doesn't seem to be targeted at yourself or Lily Potter but is everywhere and encompasses everyone? That is but a fraction of death that is the aspect of creation which I govern any higher than this fraction that you feel and then you will be essentially crossing the boundary between life and death. So I can assure you that I DID NOT LIE" Death responds with no emotion on her face and pure raw energy expelling from her with seemingly no effort or focus at all.
"Do you understand now? I do not lie to you because I have no reason to lie, I gain nothing from lying to you and Lily but still, I decided to come to this world and become a part of it on a whim." She proclaims as she slowly withdraws her power from the air and brings it back under its natural control. James and Lily sit there gasping for breath after the decaying feeling of their life force draining away slowly began to recede until they could finally breathe semi normally again.
"Now before you say anything else I will show you what happens to Harry if I let things run their course without any interference before telling you my plan." Death says as she begins to send a different sort of power into them allowing them to see what Harry would have gone through without outside interference. (Mind you I'm not going to describe it just right now as it has a part to play later on but it's essentially everything that happens in canon all the way up to the deathly hallows for his life story)
"I'm GOING TO KILL THAT MEDDLING OLD BASTARD!" yells out a furious Lily with tears streaming down her cheeks after seeing what Harry went through because of Dumbledore's plans for the greater good.
"Lady Death what can we do how can we change that? Don't get the wrong idea I have nothing but pride for the man our son will become but at the same time, I do not want him to become that man hell he fought a basilisk with no help at all! Or the man led to death because of a fucking drunk! How can I forgive myself if I let him walk that same path without me or Lils with him to guide and protect him."
"Well James that is where my plan comes in but first I must stress there are a few predestined points of fate that cannot be avoided but they can be worked around and I REALLY don't want to deal with my siblings for disrupting those points so I have a plan to benefit everyone!" She exclaims with a smile,
"but first none of that Lady Death nonsense, if I am going to be staying in this world for a while call me…..Persephone" She exclaims with a huge smile on her face as James and lily deadpan while trying to relate this person to the one they saw a few minutes ago.
"So what is this grand plan you have?" questions Lily finally mustering up the guts to ask. Suddenly death gets an eerie grin sending shivers up their spines while laying out a plan that would make Loki applaud for its ingenuity and craft.
