Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter J. K. Rowling does. I am using a few lines from the first book but that is not my work that is hers.

A/N: Italics mean Parseltongue, mail, Voldemort speaking to Quirrell, and/or lines from Philosophers Stone. Also from now on you will be seeing some big changes from the first version.

Hogwarts.

Since Draco was expelled. The atmosphere of the school had improved dramatically. Even Slytherin house was less hostile to the other houses. Of course Gryffindor was an exception, but Harry did not have any friends in the house except Hermione. However Harry knew peace could not last for very long.

Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom

"Quirrell, what is the situation with the stone, have you found out what the other trials are yet."

"Milord, I am working as fast as I can. Rumors are that Dumbledore himself has added an unknown task of his own to protect the stone. I was planning to try at Christmas with half the school empty."

"You mean the Yule festival, there is no such thing as Christmas. That's a filthy muggle celebration. Never mention it again. Now what of Potter, every time I try to read his mind I am obstructed by his shields. I must say the performance he put on in the Great Hall was highly amusing."

"Milord, Dumbledore has instructed the staff to not get involved with him, or to give him any reason to question our ability to teach. I have heard from the other professors that Potter is planning to remove Professor Binns from his position, since Lord Potter thinks his class is a complete waste. Potter has also written up a number of new rules that will be presented tonight in the Great Hall."

"So Potter's on a power trip, is he? This could work to our advantage. Quirrell, from now on no stuttering; we don't want to give the brat the opportunity to have you removed from the castle because the students could not understand you."

Later that day in the Great Hall

Albus sat at the head table. He was not looking forward to this evening. Lord Potter was a adding few new rules, as the owner of the castle he was well in his right to do so. Albus could not believe how his plans could go so pear shaped. The worrying thing was this was his first year; Albus dreaded what else might happen within the next six years of his education. Dreading the worst he resigned himself to what Harry will unleash. Albus leaned back in his chair watching Harry approaching the head table with a huge roll of parchment, this could not be good.

Harry stood in front of the Great Hall. He stood on the plinth and watched as the phoenix extended its wings allowing him to rest his parchment. Harry stared over the student body. "Good evening, everyone. Firstly, I would like to officially welcome you all to my home. Due to recent events I have decided to make some changes to the rules. First rule: The term mudblood is banned; anyone caught saying it will be immediately expelled, this goes for teachers and students. I will have no such discrimination in my home.

Dumbledore muttered under his breath. "There goes half of Slytherin House. There's not a chance that the Slytherins will obey that rule."

"Second rule: The House Cup and point system are hereby abolished. Such things only cause trouble between the Houses.

Dumbledore frowned at that rule. He had created the point system to cause trouble amongst the Houses. Now the brat was trying to unify the Houses, something that had never been done before in the history of Hogwarts. Dumbledore carried on listening not looking forward to what the brat would come out with next.

"Third rule: Any teacher I feel who is not doing their job will be removed from their position. I have already removed Professor Binns and will not hesitate to remove anyone else, especially if they have a hard time speaking."

Dumbledore's eyes widened, that couldn't be allowed to happen, especially seeing how Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort. Dumbledore needed the professor close, so that he could keep an eye on him. If Quirrell was to be removed then Voldemort might choose someone else and then he would become unpredictable something Albus, hated. Albus noticed everyone turned to look at the professor in question.

"Fourth rule: Anyone found guilty of rape or attempted rape, will be removed from my home and handed over to law enforcement. There will be no second chances like before."

Dumbledore sighed. Why couldn't the boy see that everyone needed a second chance. All they needed was some guidance and they would turn from their wicked ways. Albus was getting even more anxious, he wondered what the Harry had next up his sleeve.

"Lastly, all new teachers will be instructed to take an admission exam, to prove they can teach the subject they are being paid for."

Albus banged his head on the table, and muttered. "There goes my plan to hire Lockhart next year."

"There will be other rules, but they will be added at a later stage. Thank you for your time and enjoy your dinner." Harry made his way to his table and sat down next to Daphne. He ignored the sudden silence from the student body and started to pile some food onto his plate.

"Thank you, Lord Hogwarts, all those rules are fully endorsed by me and the other teachers; enjoy your dinner and if you have any further question about the new rules then please see your Head of House. Now if you will excuse me I have other matters to attend to."

Harry watched Dumbledore stormed out of the Great Hall. He turned to the girls and smiled. "He seems to be doing that a lot lately, don't you think?"

The girls were doing their best to try not to crack up. Harry stared over to Slytherin table. He was wondering who would break his rule first. He had known what goes on in that house; especially with the older students. They used their women for practice for when they took the Dark Mark; of course that's what they used to do when Voldemort was alive, but Harry wouldn't put it past them to try following in their daddy's footsteps. Harry turned back to his girls and carried on chatting and eating.

Somewhere outside of Hogwarts

Death sat there watching the drama of life unfold inside Hogwarts. He listened to Harry's speech and smiled at the boy's choices in new rules. The Greengrass matriarch had given him a good sense of moral conviction. The patriarch of the family taught him well in regards to politics and law. It had been Death who transported Harry to the Greengrass family. Of course, the Greengrass family assumed it was some safety measure by Harry's parents when, in fact, no spell existed of such. As Death was a divine being, he had visited many different universes, each with their very own Harry Potter. He was getting tired of seeing each one play out the same, and decided he would make this one a little different. Evidently Harry needed help, and Destiny had agreed to do just that. She too was getting bored with the different Harry's doing the same thing. Everyone ended up with killing Voldemort, and then marrying Ginny. The fact the marriage was fabricated by the various factors was enough to push the decision: Dumbledore, some love potions, others were strong spells; Somewhere even forced life debts. Death swore this time things would be different though, so the plan was made to have Harry contracted to marry Daphne Greengrass; a girl who in the various universes ended up in loveless marriage, beaten, and abused. Death felt sorry for the poor girl and vowed in this universe she would be happy. Pausing in his thoughts he heard voices coming from the Slytherin table within the walls of Hogwarts.

It seems a few of them were not happy with Harry's rules and decided that Harry didn't know what he was doing. A few were still planning to take the innocence of a fifth year Ravenclaw just for kicks.

After checking on Dumbledore one last time he chose to interfere in the boy's plans at that moment they left to achieve their goals. He looked over at the small chessboard that was Dumbledore's life, and moved a Dumbledore pawn figurine. "Let us see what you do now Albus."

Ravenclaw Tower Later on

Harry walked into his dorm room, and found a note on his bed.

Seventh year Slytherin, attack on Fifth year

Fifth Floor

Tomorrow

-Death

Harry read the note a second time, he still had no idea why Death was so interested in him. Harry hid the note, under his pillow, and walked to his trunk. He took out a frozen rat and heated it up. He then released Rex from his skin, who was thrilled to see the rat ready to be eaten.

"Night, Rex."

"Night master."

Outside Hogwarts

Death watched on, as he felt a familiar present walking up behind him. If he had a face he would be smiling now.

"Death, what the hell are you doing? I had a nice long chat with Destiny, she told me what you have done. The boy's life is my domain, Death, you know this. So, why interfere?"

Death looked back and saw a girl no older than 18 dressed in a toga with gold sandals.

"To be honest I was bored how you weaved Harry to follow the same path, in all the multiverse. At least change it up a little."

Fate growled. "Why do you care anyway? You end up getting Riddle in every one of them. What makes this universe so different from the rest?"

Death turned to look at Fate. "I have decided that the boy will be my apprentice. Too long have I been doing this job, and now it is time to pass on the flame. He will not destroy the wand this time, or lose the stone. In this universe he will be the Master of Death."

Fate's eyes widened. "Death, do you not understand what you are doing? Everything he went through made him stronger in the end. Granted, he didn't have a happy marriage, but that's the wheel of fate for you; he can't have everything."

Death growled. "You forget one thing Fate, every single one of those marriages is fabricated, some involving love potion, others involving strong compulsion spells. Some even end up being life debts that he owes. Never in one universe is Harry happy! Heck, anyone can see that he and the Granger girl are perfect for each other. I mean it would make perfect sense wouldn't it. Lily Potter was a muggleborn. Hermione Granger is a muggleborn, so why decide to pair him off with someone who looks just like his mother."

Fate's eyes narrowed. "Well if you insist in meddling in this universe, then I will have to make it more challenging for the boy. After all, you are making everything way too easy for him. In the other universes he had to work for his goals; making him a stronger person along the way, yet you want to give him everything, just because you are tired of doing your job, and you want him to take over. Well,sorry to disappoint you Death, but the boy's life won't be that easy."

With those last words Fate vanished from Death's sight.
