Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter :glances around swiftly: or Death ... I don't think he'd like that.
AN: For those waiting for the next chapter of All For The Life Of A Child it's coming ... soon. I have the next chapter finished but I'm having trouble with the HP chapter ... I keep losing my train of thought and each attempt seems to get worse. I don't want to post anything until it's at least half way done so bear with me.
Death looked at the child in front of him; watching, what to anyone else would have been a terrifying, scene in front of him.
It should have been just like any other child Death had had to take but there was something different about this one. The child with his flyaway black hair and bright emerald green eyes had looked at him! And to top it all off, it had smiled a gummy smile. It was the first time Death had been seen and smiled at. He felt a tug at his long dead heart.
It was then that then wizard in front of him killed the boy's mother and turned his wand on the child. A moment of thought was almost too much before Death made the decision that would change everything. He reached out to the glowing green curse as it touched the boy's forehead and reflected it.
He waited a moment to collect the soul of the caster only to have his scream of rage shake the walls of the home, which quickly caught fire, as Death found the soul of the wizard beyond his grasp.
With one last look at the child, he protected him from the heat and flames, bestowing his blessing upon the boy - Death vanished.
