Chapter Text
Ministry of Magic,
20th May 2098
A figure wearing a hooded cloak entered the Ministry of Magic and walked past reception security. The figure was wearing a cloak over himself. There was no sound of movement, and no one noticed anyone past them. The man with emerald green eyes, which seemed to radiate power, was approaching the Department of Mysteries. He was going to the veil, the veil of none other than the Veil of Death.
For an ordinary man, they would feel disconcerted just from being so close to the veil. The blowing motion felt like death was calling for you. But for the man under the cloak, who had brushed with Death so many times, he wasn’t even slightly concerned.
Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the chosen one, the one who vanquished the dark lord. He has many titles, but none of which suit him even remotely. It has been 100 years since the downfall of Voldemort.
After he vanquished the Dark Lord, he became Auror almost immediately. He first did 2 years of training, and then he went to work.
Harry Potter was no pushover; he was a person who wasn’t to be trifled with. He has killed many Werewolves by himself and destroyed many of their dens. He wasn't just hunting werewolves; he also hunted giants and their colonies. So many giants met their fate at his hands that their kind was almost wiped out.
He modified his Patronus charm so that it could kill or fatally wound dementors, not just scare them away. And many individuals, including vampires who supported Voldemort's cause, suffered at his hand.
During this time, he achieved mastery in Mind Arts, Arithmancy, Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, Defence against the Dark Arts, Dark Arts and Runes.
In addition to that, he travelled to many places in the world to gain every bit of knowledge he could. He mastered duellist, mind magic, battle magic, and many other skills.
He published study papers on all the dragons, basilisks, Graphons, Chimaeras, and Phoenixes he researched. His research on dangerous creatures such as Chimaeras, Graphons, and Basilisks earned him the title of “professorial research fellow”, equivalent to a Professor in the non-wizarding world.
The Chambers of Secret had a secret chamber where he found many Parslemagic books, Dark Magic books, and many other items. He also helped in developing the cure for lycanthropy and saved many lives from getting ruined.
The man stopped approaching just two meters from the Veil and lowered his hood. He then took out a stick, and muttered, “It’s time for all three of you to return to your rightful owner.”
The figure took a step towards the Veil, with the clear intent to chuck the stick into it; that was when the Veil suddenly stopped moving. Another cloaked figure walked out of the Veil and stopped just a metre in front of the figure holding the Deathstick.
The battle-hardened man almost reacted to the sudden appearance of another cloaked figure, but he instantly recognized the figure in front of him.
“Death, I presume?” he asked politely.
“You have a sharp mind, young master. But of course, you presumed correctly.”
“You shouldn't be deceived by my youthful appearance. I'm actually over a hundred years old, but due to the extensive use of time turners, I can't specify how much. But since you addressed me as 'master', I assume you are aware of the reason I still have the body of a thirty-year-old.”
Death smirked under his cloak, “And I stand by my earlier statement, young master.”
"Regardless of how you refer to me as master or what the legend says, I never believed anyone could truly master Death. I merely gained immortality by uniting the three gifts from you.”
“You are, of course, correct, young master, but not completely. The wand, the stone, and the cloak were always meant to be passed down the Peverell bloodline. Anyone other than the rightful owner of the Hallows would simply gain full use of the three Hallows, but would still age and die like everyone else. As you have learned from the Goblins, by stripping Riddle of his body, your mother reunited the three separate Peverell lines in you. When the Elder Wand flew into your hand a hundred years ago, you became the first to unite all three Hallows. As a result, all three gifts were forever bonded to you and, in the process, granted you your immortality.” Death explained.
The cloaked figure stopped for a brief moment to consider Death's words, then extended the Elder Wand in both hands and bowed respectfully. “Thank you for your explanation. Be that as it may, this wand has spilt enough blood throughout its history. Despite bonding with me, people would still seek its power, and more blood would be spilt. It’s time for all that to stop; it’s time for it to return to its rightful owner.”
Death gracefully accepted the wand and stowed it away. “Thank you, young master; there has been no one more worthy than you to possess my gifts. Even though no one could ever truly master me, only you have ever truly wielded the power of the Elder Wand since Antioch Peverell. But I am sensing this isn’t the only reason you have come before my veil, is it? Young master?”
“No, it’s not. I am afraid that I have missed my opportunity, or should I say, opportunities. There was nothing left for me to live for, not for a long time. I completed the task that would prevent another dark lord from rising and made everyone treat each other equally. I fought, captured, and killed everyone who meant harm to the wizarding world. For now, I do not wish to continue to live, as there is nothing here for me to live for; not for a long time.” Harry said.
“No, I suppose not,” Death thought for a moment before informing the war hero, “This was not supposed to be your fate; just like Riddle cheated me, the manipulative fool, Dumbledore meddled with Fate.” Death spat with anger.
The man in the cloak didn't say anything; he was well aware of who Death was referring to as a manipulative fool. Albus too-many-bloody-names Dumbledore had a lot to answer for.
Flashback
Five years after Voldemort was gone for good, war broke out in Magical Britain again. Another dark lord wannabe decided to have a go at conquering Magical Britain before moving on to the rest of the world. With most of Voldemort's Death Eaters have bribed their way out of prison by 1998, it was not hard for the new dark lord wannabe to gather enough followers and start a new war.
The Third Wizarding War had raged on for two years when, in 2005, Auror Lieutenant Harry Potter, who had broken Mad-Eye Moody's record for several Dark Wizards killed or captured, was recruited by the Director of the Department of Mysteries to join the ran ks of a recently formed Unspeakable Battle Unit.
The Unspeakable Battle Unit was established right after Voldemort’s demise when Croaker became the Head of the Department and saw the need for it. The Aurors had too much red tape to be effective during wartime, and the Department of Mysteries operated wit hout that said red tape. Nobody outside the unit was aware of its existence. Within the unit, nobody knew the identities of other members, other than their code names, except for Croaker. It would stay that way forever for the safety of the Unspeakables.
After the outing of Augustus Rookwood, Croaker also saw the need to clean the house and made sure all recruits were properly screened. The screening included a magical oath of loyalty to the Crown and the Department and a mandatory full medical check-up.
There was no word to describe how Harry felt when the Healers discovered what was done to him. He was also under the influence of love potions aimed at Ginerva Weasley and loyalty potions aimed at Ronald Weasley.
His magical core also contained binding, the binding was placed by his parents, which was not so uncommon for the parents to do in the wizarding world as it limited the accidental magic. His magical block was actually bigger than what was standard which Croaker suspected was because he was stronger as a child and his parents went into hiding in the muggle world. It made sense to him a lot more. He was just shocked that nobody ever discovered that before.
He wondered why Madam Pomfrey haven't discovered it or Headmaster hasn't discovered it. Croaker had a theory that the blocks were hard to discover. Only because he was under a team of Healers working to check every inch of him they discovered the blocks.
It didn't take much for the Healers to figure out who was under their care. Luckily, they were under secrecy oaths to never speak of this again.
Harry had enquired of Croaker how he was able to use magic at all after the binding was placed at its core. The only explanation Croaker could come up with was that Harry's magical core was much more adaptable than that of other wizards or witches when faced with different situations.
During his childhood with the Dursleys and throughout his years at Hogwarts, he needed his magic to stay alive. So his entire magical core had grown to the point where he could adapt to whatever circumstances he was put in. The binding was always there that limited his core but as his body needed the magic to heal him so his magic became more adaptable to it and started to increase a lot more.
His mind was also not in the best state because of the trauma of the war and Horcrux residing there for years. His magic was also now a lot freer. Croaker suspected that it was because of the Horcrux, he had theorized that the Horcrux was feeding on his magic ever so slightly but it certainly had as now he was more easily able to do magic.
It was ten days after his medical check-up upon joining the ranks of the Unspeakable. They have been training him in the time chamber [1] , where he learned to master Occlumency and Legilimency and to control his immensely powerful magic. They also gave him more physical training along with some more training in the ten-day (around two months in the chamber) time.
The newly dubbed Unspeakable, who was codenamed "Peril," came out of the time compression chamber and was ready to put this new dark lord wannabe down. But first, he needed to check on his best friend.
After the revelation about the youngest Weasley siblings and potions, he was worried about Hermione being Ronald's fiancée. He hoped with all his might that Ron genuinely loved Hermione and hadn't hurt her. But with his mind thinking so much clearer, he couldn't help but draw the worst conclusion.
Harry apparated to Burrow. As soon as Ronald Weasley opened the door, Harry sensed something was wrong. Weasley became nervous the moment he saw Harry, a much taller and much bulkier version of Harry without his glasses. Harry's emerald green eyes, which used to be always happy to see him, were now laced with power and cold.
Ronald had nearly wet himself, trying and failing miserably to put on a fake smile. However, Ron Weasley was broadcasting his panicked thoughts. The moment Harry picked up the words "Hermione" and "killed," he immediately reacted.
His wand was in his hand in a flash. Harry disarmed Weasley before the weasel even blinked. He then ‘went muggle’ on Weasley, using his newly acquired kickboxing skills to break each of Ronald’s limbs. Weasley had just managed to let out a scream before Harry grabbed his neck and squeezed.
He wanted to learn everything, and he didn’t want to be disturbed, so he let his magic do the work, and popped. Out of all places, Harry along with the broken Weasley appeared on an island in the middle of a lake, a lake infested with Inferi. Harry still vividly remembered when he came here years before with Dumbledore, to retrieve what they assumed to be one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Harry wasted no time; he immediately pinned the weasel down on the ground and dived into his mind. The more he learned, the angrier he got.
From Ronald’s mind, Harry learns that Ronald was never his friend; their first meeting was a set-up. Dumbledore had wanted that he had some light influence on him so he had asked Weasleys to come to the platform and look for him once he learned that Hagrid forgot to inform him about how to get to the platform. Ronald used his best friend's status to get away with whatever he wanted, as well as keep him from learning about his heritage.
Ronald had tried to keep Hermione away from Harry, but he couldn't. In the end, he decided to give her love, jealousy, and loyalty potions. Even then, Hermione seemed to be able to fight off most of the effects and stayed loyal to Harry.
After Voldemort’s demise, Ronald got what he wanted. He got fame and everything that he could ask for. He also realised that Hermione was a beautiful girl and started to like her. So, he kept feeding her love potions, but she wasn't like how he wanted her. She had told him that she wouldn't have sex before marriage, and she was still bossy and wouldn't agree with him most of the time.
Hermione caught him cheating multiple times, but she kept coming back after they broke up because of the effects of love potions. Despite the love potions, Hermione never lets their relationship go beyond snogging. Even after she had accepted his proposal of marriage, she wouldn't sleep with him before the wedding.
Finally, thirteen days before, the weasel lost his patience and tried to rape her; Hermione broke free from the effects of the potion and fought back.
Harry pushed deeper into his mind and found the conversation just before she died.
"Finally, I will get what Potter always wanted!" said Ron.
"What do you mean, Ron!? Harry never loved me." asked a struggling Hermione.
"Oooh… yes, he did, but he didn’t know it because of how he was raised. At the end of our second year, he told me that he liked you. I informed my mother and Dumbledore, and my mother began giving him a love potion for Ginny and a lust potion for you.
Dumbledore explained that the basilisk poison and phoenix tears in his blood had increased his immunity against potions and any type of poison, and therefore he was able to fight against the potions. He had a small crush on Cho because of the excess lust potion that mum increased so that Ginny could get him.
Dumbledore was also against using love potions and all these things. He didn't want anything to do with Harry's love life and just wanted his trust in his plans. But as payment for mom's part, he reluctantly agreed.
In the fourth year again, he was falling for you, so we added more potions, but you were also falling for him. After the ball, I thought you might not be bad for me, so we added a potion keyed to me to your food also.
After 2 years, you finally came to think you loved me, and we added jealous potions to your drink so your friendship with Harry would break, but you two bloody still remained friends due to Harry fighting the potions.
When you began to develop feelings for me, Harry concluded that you did not like him, so he gave Ginny a chance. After that potion's effects took hold, "his determination and will to fight disappeared." Dumbledore explained to us why potions had started working on Harry.
And that's how we ended up here, but we still need to erase Harry's memory a lot because he's come to know about the potions, as he's brighter than we thought. Anyway, it doesn't matter." Explained Ron.
Hermione was crying now. She realised that she hadn’t loved Ron. She had always loved Harry and Harry felt the same way, but these damn Weasleys and Dumbledore had got in the way. She struggled to get released from his hold. She had to go to Harry and tell him everything.
During the struggle, Hermione hit her head and would have been healed if Ronald had sent her to St. Mungo’s right away. But no, he was too busy gloating that he finally got to have his way with her and that he had taken something Harry bloody Potter wanted .
While Ronald was boasting, Hermione was slowly losing consciousness. Before drawing her last breath, she muttered, "I love you, Harry!"
Harry struggled to hold back his tears and continued searching through Ron's mind in an attempt to find out what had happened to Hermione's body.
He found the memory of Ronald, Percy, and Molly planning how to hide Hermione’s body and came up with the excuse of her disappearance due to the ongoing war. Halfway through their planning, Arthur walked in. He reluctantly agreed that it was best not to tell Harry what really happened. Likewise, he didn't want to face his wrath.
In the discussion, Arthur and Percy became aware of all the plans and how they wanted to get Potter Fortune. He came to know that Ronald and Molly were in it from the beginning. Ronald only knew their parts in the plan from Dumbledore, but Molly knew the whole plan from Dumbledore and had a few of her own. Ginny was unaware of these other plots but had agreed to a small scheme involving love potions because she was so obsessed with him. She wasn't included in other schemes involving him or Hermione, and she genuinely cared for them.
After they finished the new plan, Harry saw Ronald’s memory of dumping Hermione’s body in some river. Harry learnt every detail around the river and came out of Weasley’s mind.
The fear in Weasley's eyes grew as he realised that Harry had learned everything from his mind and that magic was pouring out of his body. With no more tears left to hold back, Harry's eyes now held only the fire of vengeance, burning behind two glowing emerald orbs.
Harry whispered in a voice so calm, it scared the Weasel to soil himself. "You will suffer for all you did and more."
Harry teleported again to the Burrow with the Weasleys, and when he went inside, Ginny was talking to her mother, Molly, about the Quidditch team she was going to sign up for or her plans with him in the future.
He stunned them and took them to the trail, where he called for a full meeting of the Wizengamot. And then, at the trial, he declared a blood feud against the Weasleys. He told them all the Weasleys' crimes, which were confirmed by Veritaserum, and because of the blood feud, they were killed by him.
While Bill, Charlie, George, and Ginny gave the name Weasley and cut down any relation with them to escape the blood feud. Ginny was also sentenced to two years in prison for trying to steal a line from Lord Potter-Black with the use of potions.
Arthur and Percy were also found guilty of assisting in the murder of Hermione Jean Granger, so they were also sentenced to death. Harry had declared that Hermione was under the protection of the house of Potter-Black, so they were inclined to take action against them. And that was the end of the Noble House of Weasley forever.
Harry immediately popped into the river in the weasel’s memory. He put a bubble-head charm on himself and dived in. Harry swam for three miles downstream before finding Hermione’s body; he then took her back to her parents. Together, they mourned for Hermione e Jean Granger, the smartest witch of her age, beloved daughter, and faithful friend.
Kneeling in front of her headstone, Harry swore vengeance on all those who had wronged her and stolen their chance of happiness. Before he stood up, Harry muttered, "I love you too, Hermione. I will make you proud before we meet again." He also swore that he would do all the things that Hermione wanted to achieve and make the wizarding world as she wanted.
Flashback Ends
After all this, Harry went to Hogwarts and demanded answers from the portrait of the headmaster. And, according to the Headmistress' orders, the portrait was forced to speak the truth, so no more lies or manipulations were allowed. Then, Harry was able to discover the truth.
Dumbledore wanted to defeat Voldemort more than anything, and he was doing everything he could, but it wasn't enough. So, when he learned about the prophecy, he had hoped that he might be able to hide both Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom, and then train them both in fighting, in order to defeat the Dark Lord.
However, things did not work out that way. The Potters were killed, and the Longbottoms were left with fates worse than death, leaving both Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom alone.
However, one thing that became clear from the attack was that Harry Potter was the person to whom the prophecy was referring.
And, given that the dark magic emanating from his scar was something that he had suspected wasn't true, it was now clear that it was the truth. Dumbledore had assumed that Tom Riddle had performed several rituals in an attempt to delay his death or even avoid it, but he had never imagined that Riddle would go as far as to create a Horcrux. But it became clear after seeing the mark.
And as time passed when he arranged the trials for young Harry Potter, he became more convinced that in order to defeat Voldemort, Harry Potter would have to sacrifice himself. And he also believed that Harry won’t die.
It was because of the blood ritual that Voldemort performed, the sacrificial ritual that Lily Potter did, and also the power of the Hallows. He believed that Harry wouldn’t die and would come back and then kill Voldemort.
That was his plan, and in order to achieve this, he bound Harry's magic a little so that Harry would 'sacrifice' himself rather than fight back. When Harry saw that Voldemort was more powerful and also had more knowledge than him, he would 'sacrifice' rather than fight. That's why Dumbledore also needed loyalty potions; he was aware that teenagers were difficult to control, and he wanted to ensure Harry's loyalty. Another reason that Harry would sacrifice is because of his trust in Dumbledore.
And Dumbledore chose the Weasley family to give Harry the love that would make him different from Tom Riddle. The last thing Dumbledore wanted was another Tom Riddle in the making. He asked the Weasleys for help because he knew that his home life as Harry was going to be a tough one, and he didn’t want Harry to follow in the footsteps of Tom.
But in return, Molly had told him that she wanted Harry to marry Ginny, and she wanted to use love potions for it. Albus had not wanted it because it was how Voldemort had been born. Dumbledore had left a letter for Harry, which would have reached him shortly after Voldemort had lost. In the letter, Dumbledore had written everything he had done to Harry. He also told Harry about the potion plot in it to save him from it.
Harry was angry with the man for a long time, but later he understood why Dumbledore did that, but it didn’t mean he was happy with it. He still wanted to break his nose and inflict pain on him because all of these meddlings in his life had cost the life of Hermione, the girl he loved.
The letter that Dumbledore told him about never came, and when he checked the place where Dumbledore said he had put the letter. He found upon checking the wards and enchantments on the letter that Dumbledore made a small mistake in the number of runes array to be made, due to which the letter never reached him.
Harry laughed at the situation humourlessly because the irony was that Dumbledore put him in all these situations and he was still one of the main reasons that Voldemort got defeated. And if only Dumbledore hadn't made the mistake in the enchantments, Harry would have gotten the letter and Hermione would have been alive. They would have been living together, but that's not what happened.
Harry shook his head and asked about the other person that he was very upset about. Dumbledore told him that he had always suspected Ron of being a jealous, lazy, and slacker member of the Weasley family. When did Harry ask why he asked Ron to be his friend? Dumbledore replied by saying that he thought that things would play differently. He thought that Ron would try to be more hard-working and would also get over his jealousy as he would be his best friend would be Harry Potter after all.
But the opposite happened, Ron became even more jealous of Harry instead of trying to be his friend. And Harry realised that the exact opposite may have helped Ron to grow up and work hard instead.
If Harry hadn't befriended Ron, then he would have befriended his twin brothers in one way or another. He would have come across them and liked them instantly. And that would have made Ron jealous, so he would have tried hard. And since he wouldn't have Hermione's help, he would have worked hard. If things had been different, then he might have studied harder and maybe have done something useful.
Harry can’t be sure of that, and Harry is not certain of that, and in any case, it is not important now because it will not happen. It would be pointless to dwell on things that will not happen, or that he can't change.
"There isn’t much I could do about that, is there? During my time as Auror and then as Hit-Wizard, I used time-turners to complete my tasks, but I never dared to change the time. Hermione had warned me about what happened to people who tried." The man then smirked in a way that made Death himself shiver in fear. "I guess I’ll have to give them hell in the afterlife." [2]
The resolute man began to move towards Death's Veil; however, Death raised his hand and gestured for him to stop. The cloaked man looked at Death inquiringly and wondered what Death had in mind.
"What if you could go back in time and change things?" Death asked.
If the cloaked man was surprised by Death's question, he didn't show it. He pondered for quite a while. Even though he was told over and over that he couldn't change the past whenever he time-travelled back using time turners, he knew that Death's offer was different from the others. It was possible that the god in front of him could back up what he was offering. The question was would he want to? He had left Magical Britain with a much brighter future using his influence. And now he just wanted to reunite with his loved ones and the parents he had never got to know.
"I am going to, with all due respect, decline your offer; I have waited enough time to meet my parents again."
Death understood the young master, but he was forced to convince the young master, due to a request from the Creator. "You should know, your parents didn’t truly die until the night of the 24th June 1995." As Death predicted, that got the young master’s attention.
This time, the cloaked man was surprised, but given how much he had delved into Mind Arts, he wasn’t shocked for long. "The night of Voldemort’s return. How?"
"The ritual your mother used was from the Potter Family Grimoire. It creates a bond between the souls of close family members, connecting them on the same spiritual plane through a bond of familial love. However, the ritual was designed to be used temporarily for the duration of a war, not to grant immortality. Thus, it does not tolerate another ritual of similar nature, corroding the familial bonds." Death explained.
Pieces of the puzzle immediately fell into place in the cloaked man’s mind. "My blood. Voldemort’s use of my blood to gain a body, inadvertently made him my anchor, and destroyed the bonds keeping my family alive."
"Correct," Death replied.
"I remember now. It has been a long time since I read the Family Grimoire. The soul of a victim or victim will remain anchored to this world as long as at least one member of the victim's family survives. The victim or victims can be revived just by simple physical contact with a surviving member. If the victim's original physical body is recovered and repaired, this can be sustained. Many didn’t know, but it was some mad Peverell that made it." Harry said the last sentence with a smirk, "It seems that Peverell was all mad and wanted to badly escape you."
It was at this point Death interrupted. "Your parents’ bodies, Upon the impact of the Killing Curse, your parents' bodies were transported to your family manor in Wales by a switching rune. Your family elves put them under stasis until that night, when Voldemort returned. Only then did your family elves bury your parents at your family grave site.
The bodies buried in Godric’s Hollow were transfigured pigs to fool Voldemort; I guess they managed to fool the rest of the world as well. If that old man hadn’t interfered. Given that your godfather would have taken you in and raised you. You would have grown up with your family as, after reading through the Grimoire, you would have also known what she did and would have 'revived' them." And then Death also smirked, "And yes you are right, your ancestors were all a bunch of mad idiots. You Potters are also mad, but instead of escaping me, you are mad about love."
The cloaked man nodded in understanding. It was clear that Potters went looking for love since his father had to work hard for years to get his mother. Here he was, years later, and he still couldn't get over Hermione. He doubted he would ever find someone like her.
Death continued, "If you choose to go back in time, you will be able to save your parents, your godfather, Hermione Granger, and everyone else you care about. You will get to see all of them again."
The man immediately countered, "I would see them again too if I died now! Why should I go back to dealing with it all again?"
"Because, you didn’t just anchor two souls that Halloween, you anchored four." Death saw that this got the man’s attention; he knew this would be the Holy Grail in convincing the young master to go back. He could tell the young man had figured out what he meant. "Yes, your mother was pregnant with your twin sisters at the time; if you choose to die now, you would not get to meet them in the afterlife, as they never lived." [3]
Death knew he had succeeded, but he wanted to drive the nails in. "Plus, do you not wish to spare the memories of all the suffering of all those you loved? Yes, loved, despite how much you have told yourself otherwise. Hermione Granger, your friends Luna, Neville, Remus and Tonks. Not to mention your godson…"
"Enough!" The cloaked man snarled, his emerald eyes glowing, his cloak blowing. Death stopped talking immediately. Death, even though he was a deity, Death was intimidated by an angry Harry Potter. Harry may not have been a deity, but he had the power and the skill to defeat most, if not all, demons. The cloaked man calmed down a bit, "Before I accept, may I ask why you want me to go back so much? Surely it would be fewer souls for you."
Death knew how much this man hated half-truths, so he answered honestly. "The Creator himself wasn’t happy with how things turned out, but he couldn’t intervene directly. So, he sent me to convince you to go back, as you are the linchpin to everything. You've done good work bringing the Magical World to what it is now, but you could have done much better with the help of your true friends, your godfather, and the other elders who supported you. And for the few souls left for me, then it was for me to decide when they would die, not some fucker who cheated me!"
The man nodded in understanding. "Okay, anything else you want me to do?"
"Yes, you need to get the Hallows back together as soon as you can, and I won't take those you love away from you, but you still need to protect them or teach them to protect themselves from others.
Two, the Creator will remove the blocks placed on you by the other core, and the Horcrux in your head will be gone. Additionally, the monitoring devices that were put on you by Dumbledore will be destroyed.
Third, your old friend Hedwig has gained the ability to become a White Phoenix. You can use your Royal Phoenix to jump-start a burning day. Also, your family Grimoire and the books that you made will be in your family library, updated as of today.
Four, you can share your knowledge with people you trust and with whom you feel you can protect the secret. And you should obliviate anyone else who finds out.
And fifth and last, the trunk that you have in your pocket right now will also be with you when you wake up back in time.
Now, my advice is that the Creator wants you to make your world a better place. But we are not going to control your life, so you should make your own decisions on how to do this. But, don't let it consume you. You have more than enough power and knowledge to deal with any dark wizards or witches. So, use this opportunity to live the life you've always wanted, and stop worrying about knowing what's going to happen.
And lastly, consider this a gift from myself. Don't judge people for how they behaved last time. Sure, some will because of my interference, but some will not. Because of the changes, you will make, people will change, and some people you judge harshly right now may be your allies in the future, or rather past."
The cloaked man considered Death’s words carefully and nodded in acceptance. "Thank you, Death. I will not let you or the Creator down. Not to be rude or anything, but why did you give me the gift."
The magic increased around him. Harry could sense power bursting from the figure in front of him. "A storm is coming, young master. I can sense it, and it will be bigger than anything you have imagined. It would be far more dangerous than anything. And you and I both have a big role in it. So, assume this is payment from me for the work we have to do together in the future. I'll just add that you should also prepare for it by training harder than ever before. But it is far away for now, but that doesn't mean it won't come. Be prepared, young master, we have to prepare for it." [4]
The cloaked figure's eyes widened in surprise. He memorised the warning with his Occlumency. Death had said that it was far away but still coming, so he would prepare for it. But for now, he had other tasks to do. "Now, how do I travel back?"
Death actually smiled and pointed towards the veil. "Just step through the veil; it will lead you to where you need to be."
The cloaked man nodded, then stepped through the veil. Before he was completely through, he heard Death tell him, "Don't be surprised if one of us decides to visit you."
