A 19 year old teen paced back and forth in front of the Veil of Death trying to solve the mystery of the veil. For the past month he’d been researching the mysteries of the veil and Deathly Hallows. So far he’d made little to no process with the veil but some progress with the Hallows. He had discovered that if you use the elder wand with one of the other Hallows it would magnify what that Hallows could do. Another interesting discovery was that no matter where he left the Hallows they would always reappear somewhere near him. This discovery came the morning after the battle of Hogwarts. Of course he didn’t tell anyone that he had the Hallows. He had just come back from taking a shower when he saw that the Elder Wand and The Resurrection Stone sitting by his glasses. For the past few weeks Harry had the growing feeling that the answer to this question laid beyond the veil.
It also provided an escape from the madness of the wizard society for Harry James Potter; A.K.A The Boy Who Lived. After defeating Tom (Voldemort) they idolized Harry even more that they did before, which was driving him insane. So when The Department of Mysteries offered him a job in as an Unspeakable he gladly accept the offer. The benefits of being an Unspeakable were that you were allowed to place wards around you to stop receiving unwanted mail and the media were banned from questioning you. An additional incentive for Harry to join was that they offered to pay the fine of 20,000 galleons the goblins wanted for the damage Harry had caused.
While the wizarding world continued bugging him, his best friends Ron and Hermione had understood that he needed space to mourn. They had helped him to kill Tom and destroy his horcruxes but too many people died in the final battle. This reminded Harry that the reason he joined the department was to confirm that being the Master of Death would change all of this.
So with that and the last 9 days of failed attempts permanently bring his friends back, Harry finally gave in to the tempting voices that call from the veil and walked through the veil into the unknown.
Looking around to see what was on the other side of the veil there was nothing but white mist going all directions. Harry looked back the way he come only to see that there was no way out. Harry spun to his left, pulling out both his Elder wand and the phoenix feather wand when a bone chilling voice said “Congratulations Master! You are finally here.”
Hovering a few feet from Harry was something he could only assumption was the incarnation of death. The Reaper looked down on at Harry while leaning on his scythe made of stark white bone.
“You don’t have to point those at me, I would have already killed you if I wanted to” said Death. Harry reluctantly lowered his wands but kept them ready.
“Who are you and why you are calling me Master?” ask Harry feeling a spark of achievement.
“I’m the incarnation of Death; who else I would be; Santa Claus? You are the only one to successfully possess the Deathly Hallows, making you my master. The Master of Death and immortal! I very much wanted to talk to you about the powers you have received." Said Death with a excited edge to his cold voice.
“So what can I do now I’m the Master of Death? I can bring my friends back? My Parent?” asked Harry that spark of hope and achievement turning into fire inside his chest.
“Yes, in way you can but not the way you are thinking” said Death with an extra cold voice which made Harry back up a little.
“Then, how do we bring them bring them back; and isn’t that one of my powers?” Harry ask confused and a little impatient.
“The powers will slowly unlock while you bond with the Hallows which will take two to three months. This would mean your powers could be unleash anytime without notice. This could cause you to unintentionally destroy the world leaving you the sole survivor. In order to avoid this I propose sending you back in time to when you were a baby. So then you can slowly master your powers without destroying everything” said Death.
Harry was dumbfounded!, that he could be powerful enough to destroy the world!. If he had this power earlier in his life, he would be able to kill Voldemort easily, saving his friends, parents and many others.
Death's voice snapped Harry out of his thoughts, "Master, it really is not your fault those persons died. Death is decided by Fate. And, if you really want to change it, you could agree to my offer and go back into the past to change your present. How about it?"
“Yes, I’ll get to be with my parents and avoid destroying this world”, said Harry happy for the chance to be with his family.
“Yes, you will be with your family again but I must warn you that with messing time will have unknown consequences.”
“It don’t matter, we can deal with it when it comes up” said Harry not caring about the repercussions of meddling with time.
“Let’s go”, said Harry really anxious to see his family.
"As long as you are in possession of the Hallows they will not exist in the mortal world. If you ever want to commutate with me, you can easily reach me by thinking about me. But remember, I can't enter into the mortal world. I would be able to come only in your semi-conscious state, like when you are sleeping. So, see you later, master", that was last thing he heard before he fell to the floor screaming in extreme pain. It felt like his body was being ripped apart one cell at time, that was last thing before he black out.
(Hurry’s POV)
As Harry awoke from a deep peaceful sleep he remembered everything that had happened. He opened his eyes and he tried to get up thinking it was all a dream. He rolled over only to realize he was in the body of a baby. Harry was overjoyed that it had actually worked. He had become the Master of Death and got sent back in time to grow up with his family. Thinking about what Death said just before he fell over in pain. Trying to confirm this wasn’t a dream Harry thought “Death, you are there?”
'Yes master?' Death answered his cold voice.
Moving in a sitting position Harry saw that he was sleeping in a crib in what looked to be the upstairs bedroom. Right across from his crib were younger versions of Remus and Sirius asleep in two chairs. He was overjoyed to see them alive again. Harry guessed both of his parents would be busy for a while from noises coming up from the kitchen so he continued his conversation with the Reaper.
'So is there anything else I should know,' Harry said thinking about the extreme pain he felt right before he blacked out.
'I apologize for not giving warning about that but you would have expected it, making it hurt more. There is something we need to discuss it about your powers; we can talk now or later?' Death responded.
'Well okay but from now on warn me beforehand.' Harry paused for a 'Yes master' before asking, 'Why do we need to talk about my powers? Wasn’t the reason you sent me back in time was to prevent me destroy the world of that time because my powers would go out of control?'
'As the Master of Death your current self would receive all of the powers, knowledge, memories, and physical forms from your previous lives. Also you would gain addition powers from bonding with the Hallows, being an immortal, metamorphagus, 200% more magical power and lucky in most things. Now the problem is with the magical energy. While the growth of your magical core isn’t growing as fast would have then it is still too fast for your body growth,' Death said.
Harry took a moment to absorb and get over the shock not only gaining the powers from the Hallows, but also from his previous lives. They needed to slow the energy increase somehow or he was going to hurt the ones he had travelled back in time to save.
'Can’t we slow the growth so my body can keep up? Why don’t I get the power to bring back someone from the dead?' Harry asked. Harry, using Occlumency, could sort out the massive number of memories was going receive. Mr.Weasely had taught him Occlumency after the war, thinking it help would him control his depression.
'Fate decides who lives and who dies, and to bring someone back from the dead would just make your stay in the afterlife very uncomfortable', Death answered with extra cold voice. 'Yes, we can decrease the amount but it’ll take ten to twenty years for you to adjust between each increase. Alternatively, you could bond with a large number of mates in order to lessen the strain on your body while increasing the amount of power' Death answered.
'What kind bonds are you talking about?' ask Harry.
'There many are kind of bonds the one I think will be the most helpful is the mate bond. You and your mate can draw on each other’s magical energy. But your mates, depending on their magical maturity, will only be able to handle no more than 0.3 percent of your magical power', Death said.
Harry didn’t need to do the math to know that he’d needed to have bond a hundred mates to get thirty percent and by the time he reached puberty his magic would be twice what it was now.
“Any ideas on how I’m going find and bond with a hundred mates?” Harry asked hoping Death might be able help to with this.
“There are two things we can do. The first is, I can cast a mate finding charm for mates compatible with your current and past self’s. The second would be for you to make sure after you kill Voldyface to cast the Praedia Bellica spell then you can take possession of all that Voldyface and his Deathidoits possess. You should receive a good number of slaves which you can share your magic with” Death said.
Harry smiled at Death’s nicknames for Tom and his followers. “We should let my parents in on this if we’re going to avoid any misunderstandings. I thought you said you couldn’t enter the world of the living so how would you be able to cast any spells?” ask Harry.
With a dark chuckle, that made Harry shiver, Death answered 'Just because I am not able to enter the world of the living doesn’t mean I can’t cause or influence what happens there. How did you think I collect those souls that happen to escape or evade my grasp. The charm I’m going use will have a farther range than the one your parents will use. We are going to have to edit the memories that you will show, we don’t we want them finding out about you being an immortal and the Master of Death.'
Harry agreed that the less people that knew about that the better. If Tom somehow found out he might come up with a way to kill an immortal that would be painful and annoying. So they edited any the memories past 6th year that involving the Hallows.

(Lily POV)
Lily Evans Potter was cooking dinner with her husband James Potter when the charm to alert her the moment their eleven month old son Harry was up and moving around. Lily was glad that her baby was going be to okay. Because for the last two days his magical core had suddenly expanded to three times it what was before, causing Harry’s body temperature and magic to fluctuate wildly. One minute they would go really high causing Harry’s body burn up and sending bolts of magic fling everywhere or they would drop dangerously low causing his body to feel cold. Albus had tried to bind Harry’s magic but it suddenly spiked half way through the binding sending thunderous bolts of magic everywhere before dropping back down. After that they agreed that the best thing to do was to try to keep him comfortable until his magical core finish expanding. It wasn’t till four in the morning that it stopped. His body temperature and magic had stopped fluctuating, going back to normal. His magical core was now twice the size of Albus’s core who was one of the wizarding world’s most powerful wizards.
“I’m going to check on Harry”, said Lily as she ran upstairs to her baby leaving the cooking to James.
When Lily in came to the bedroom she give cry of joy at the site of her cute baby boy crawling toward a sleeping Remus and Sirius who were supposed be watching him. Picking him up Lily looked him over for any ailments, happily she found none. Harry had her emerald green eyes while his messy black hair and facial features came from his father James. Lily smiled as Harry played her with her long red hair.
“How my little boy get out of his crib?” asked Lily thinking it had been some act of accidental magic.
“Mama” said Harry giggling and waving his hands around wildly happy to see his mother.
Lily smiled lovingly at Harry before wrinkling her nose at the smell coming him, and said “Someone needs a bath and after that we can practice saying daddy.”
After Lily had finished bathing and clothing Harry she took him down stairs to the dining room where they found James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter setting the table. They had woken up, saw Harry was missing and started searching only to find Lily bathing and playing with him. Peter had arrived sometime during the time Lily was cursing and hexing those two for walking in on her.
Upon seeing Peter, Harry give a wail of rage and shot a large red ball of light at Peter blasting him into the wall with nasty crunching sound. Before anyone had time to react Harry waved his hand at the opposite wall to where he had blasted Peter. Moving Images started appear on the wall like a movie about certain green eyed and messy black haired boy.
They all watched in horror and awe from Harry surviving his encounters with Voldemort, to his time as an unspeakable trying to bring back his friends to where Harry jumped the Veil of Death.
Sirius was the first to break the silent. “That was ……”, said Sirius at a lost for how to response to what they just saw.
“Were all lies or would never happen in a million years or that Peter would never betray us”, Remus finished for Sirius. “I think we should consider the possibility that Harry might not be …… in control of himself” thinking Harry might be possessed.
“I said we give this rat bastard some veritaserum and find out if he’s with Voldemort or not”, said Lily point her wand at Peter while holding Harry close. James had healed Peter but he couldn’t re-enervate him as Harry’s stupefy spell was just too powerful. She had to sit down in disbelief and anger while she watched his living at Dursleys then to his years at Hogwarts. Lily’s magic had started to flare and crackle when Dolores Umbridge used the blood quills on Harry.
“Lily, come on, Albus would never allow that to happen and what about the will you guys had written”, said Sirius refusing to believe what they saw could be the truth. Because he would have to intentionally ignore the abuse and malnutrition Harry received from the Dursleys. Also what had happened while Harry was at Hogwarts was clearly not the doing of the Albus Dumbledore they knew and loved.
“Actually I think that what he wants to happen,” James said angrily. “I didn’t realize it before, but that prick has been using compulsion charms on Lily and I, or we wouldn’t have made the decision to make Peter the secret keeper and we would’ve stayed at Potter castle which has wards just as strong as Hogwarts.” They were planning making him the secret keeper next when Albus got from his trip.
“James how can you say that. Albus is the leader of the light and the one who defeated Grindelwald” Sirius argued.
“Sirius; think about it the reason why we and the Longbottoms are in hiding, it is because of the prophecy that Severus happened to overhear. A prophecy about one of our kids having the power to defeat the dark lord. If you’re going to interview a seer who might predict a prophecy you should at least cast some privacy charms. Albus being a very wise and intelligent person would know this. Also he did nothing to stop Severus, knowing that he is a suspected Deatheater who would go straight to You Know Who”, James said with contempt.
“I say we go with Lily’s suggestion and then we can decide what to do from there”, Remus said before Sirius could protest.
“Is that alright with you?” Lily asked Harry who had been following the conversation.
“Yes mom”, Harry answered which caused everyone to be shocked that he could talk.
As a first class auror, James was permitted to have veritaserum and so made it a habit to always have some in his auror potions kit. James summoned the veritaserum after Harry re-ennervated Peter and Remus magical tied him to a chair. James held Peter’s mouth open while Remus tipped a few drops of the potion down his throat. After a few minutes a calm expression came over his face.
“What is your name?” James asked beginning with the standard interrogation questions.
“Peter Pettigrew.”
“What is your date of birth?”
“The 11th of March 1960.”
“Are you in anyway, shape or form involved or in contact with the association known as the Deatheaters or their leader Voldemort?”
“Yes”
Sirius swung at Peter breaking his jaw. Remus and James pulled him back before he could do any more damage. After healing Peter, James continued the questions.
“What is your involvement with the Deatheaters?”
“I give them information about the Order of The Phoenix or anything that may concern his Lordship and Lord Voldemort praises me for my efforts.”
Sirius broke Peter’s jaw again, they let him have a few more swings at him before pulling him off and healing Peter so they could continue interrogating him.
“Did you tell them about Harry?”
“Yes”
“Wait, we need him” Harry said from his position in his mother arms.
“What is this shitbag going to do for us?” James asked with his wand pointed at Peter.
“Killing him now before he can bring You Know Who here as in the original timeline might end up causing a cataclysm. I think we should get those of the Order members that we can trust and decide on proper course of action” Lily said. She would like nothing more than to stab the piece of shit to death.
“Well, if we’re doing that, we should make this look like an act accidental of magic so he would wonder how he ended up in at St.Mungos” James said with a cold expression directed at someone who he thought was his friend. After giving Peter the antidote to the veritaserum James set Peter’s lower body on fire. They watch him coldly as he screamed and frail around for moment before reluctantly dousing the flames.
Sirius cast a curse that would make Peter extremely horny every time he thought about Rophin Bullstrode. An ugly and fat male slytherin student who they used to prank a lot.
Remus cast a spell to cause Peter pain anytime thought about them and the Order. Making sure the spells they had cast stayed hidden, Sirius took him to St.Mungos.

They consisted of the Elder Wand, an immensely powerful wand that was considered undefeatable; the Resurrection Stone, a stone which could summon the spirits of the dead, and the Cloak of Invisibility, which, as its name suggests, renders the user completely invisible.
