First time responding to a challenge, I've had this kinda idea floating for months but finally i discover something that will fit to it. Yup Here we go with My Response to DZ2's Death is just the beginning challenge

Plotline: In one of his reckless adventures, Harry isn't just injured: he's KILLED, but instead of passing on, he's reborn by magic unknown to achieve his full destiny.

Rules: NO Time Travel stories - unless Harry travels back to one of his years before the betrayal: Harry's rebirth MUST be on the seven-year path through his time at Hogwarts

When Harry is reborn, he has an unusual form of magic at his command - Nirnian Magic From Elder Scrolls V Skyrim.

Harry's cause of death MUST be through one of the adventures in the books/movies: example, he dies from the Basilisk's poison or is devoured by the Dementors etc…

When he returns from the dead, Harry MUST see Dumbledore in a bad light for not doing anything to save him

As far as the rest of the world are concerned, Harry IS dead, so his return MUST be shocking and even frightening to some.

Guidelines: Harry being betrayed by his friends immediately following his near-death adventure, thus resulting in his death: example, he saves Ginny and is then stabbed by the fang himself.

Dark Harry - What is Dark Really?

Powerful Harry - Heck Yeah Wands Suck

Master-of-Death Harry - Maybe,

Immortal Harry - he HAS already died once, remember

A timeskip between his death and rebirth: Instantly

Crossovers - Skyrim

Forbidden: Harry trusting Dumbledore

Golden Trio - either Ron or Hermione or BOTH must be somehow changed by his death and therefore distrust the reborn Harry

Harry joining Tom - though if Harry is Dark, I'll allow him forcing Tom to serve him

Horcruxes - that's NOT how he survives to be reborn: be creative.

Other than that, feel free to let your imaginations run wild;

Harry Potter - Back from the Dead I

"Avada Kedavra" that was the last thing Harry heard the last thing he remembered the words from Bellatrix Lestrange, Harry fell backwards and laid Flat and his Body died.

after what felt like moments he could hear voices

"So Tell me again, Where did you find him Nazir and why is he here?"

"I told you what I know Brother, Babette and I were returning from a meeting with a contract and he popped out of nowhere falling in front of us. he was dead from all we could tell but as babetter went to check with detect life he was alive, but had signs of death on him, he's no thrall there's something special about him" a deep voice that reminded Harry of Kingsley Shacklebolt replied.

"Brother, He's Awaking should i put him under a paralysis spell again or…?" a child's voice spoke

"Leave him, I wish to speak with this one myself " the dark voice said

Harrys eyes opened as he acclimatised to the lack of light he reached for his wand

"You won't be needing that old thing, it doesn't work here anyway, I just want to talk, what happened to you boy?" the Breton said taking a step forward his rounded beard black as night and ivory skinned woman standing to his side her arm interlinked with his.

Harry thought and thoughts began to come back to him

"I Died, I was hit with the killing curse, because of them"

"Killing Curse, the old Avada Spell, Sithis I haven't thought about wand magic in years" Andre said with a smirk

"You know my magic?" Harry asked

"You'll hear m story once I'm sure you're trustworthy kid, so you said you were betrayed tell me how?"

"I Was told That my godfather was in danger and i went to help him, i was killed thats all i know?" Harry said

"Can you get a reading Rana, Babette?, Does the boy lie?" Andre said the kindness in his voice lost for harshness

"He speaks the truth my husband, I suggest we test the boy see if he truly has the abilities to work with us, he has survived death intact after all, and he's not like I or Babette" the Ivory woman spoke

"Um Mr… Where am I?" Harry said politely

"Child, you have been brought the Sanctuary of the Dark Brotherhood, I am The Guild Master Andre, we would like to test your skills, should you pass the tests we will help you find your friends and gain vengeance where needed" Andre said with a gleam in his eye

"And if i Fail" Harry said

the grin turned into a full blown smile as the dark haired man grasped the woman to his left and planted a kiss on her lips as he pulled back it was evident she had bitten his lips with her elongated fangs

"Fail and My Girls will feed well tonight" he said

Harry shivered slightly as the smaller vampire approached with a crate

"Heres some Armour, What weapon do you favour ?" she asked

"Weapon, I've only got my wand " Harry said

The leader stood and approached as he stared at the boy looking into his eyes

"Rana, did you detect blocks on his power?" Andre said

"I didn't look that deep, Shall we Check his blood?" The Vampiress said as she looked towards the teen

"My Blood, you're not going to bite me are you?" Harry said as he looked around fearfully

Babette soon returned with a small bowl from the alchemy table as the daedric dagger was pulled from Andre's belt "give me your hand Rana will heal your cuts after this is done, brace yourself " the breton warned as he slit Harry's wrist blood trickled into the bowl as Serana pressed her hands onto the boy wizard healing his cuts with 'healing hands'

"Okay Rana let's get this done find out what's going on here" Andre said as the vampiress cast a spell and soon a piece of parchment had information written on it, She Read Aloud

"Well time is against us youngling" The Breton said with a smirk

"us?" Nazir said

"You mean we get to keep him?" Babette laughed letting a little of her inner child out fitting since being bitten as a child she had been a child for close on 1000 years.

"It's up to you kid, but first if you'll let us I'd like to break those bonds so we can truly see what you're capable of, i Warn you, bonds on as much of your core as you have will cause a giant Magicka Spike, If we're doing it i'd like to have it done with experts, Rana I think we need to contact Mistress Celria at the college, we'll do this ritual at Lakeview."

Harry Confused at the Kindness of these complete strangers asked one question "Urm Mr Andre, why do you want to help me?"

the Breton turned to face the younger teen wizard

"Once long ago, I was betrayed too and I just don't like injustice, plus there's something about you kid, and (he said as he whispered the last bit) My Wife is a little on the dead side as you can tell, I quite like the idea of being a father figure"

Harry nodded and before he knew what was Happening Nazir approached

"Welcome to the Family Brother Harry, Babette and I will arrange your armour for you."

A/N Well we've got there the end of the first chapter and i actually have ideas of where to take this lol Harry's Pairing is totally up in the air as to make this story work Nirn and Britain are reachable to each other.

Harry will be getting darker as he spends more time with a childish vampire and Serana.

The only female off the table is Serana, Babette(she's 900 years old) and Hermione(the challenge specifies she's off the table plus the plans i have for what Harry's gonna do to a few weasleys might put book worm off just a little)

as for others suggest… i've used a few OC's because i'm not a fan of One Dragonborn uniting the guilds, for background Dark Brotherhood leader also killed the vampires because it fits.

Winterhold Mage Player character did the College Quests and stayed there

a separate person was caught crossing into skyrim and became the Dragonborn and may or may not have become harbinger of the companions.

in short there are several player characters out there doing different skill trees and they need Names so if you'd like to come up with the backstory for a player character (who had no involvement in the dark brotherhood and dawnguard quest lines) be my guest if no one does so i'll make my own characters up to fit the bill as for archmage who is set to debut in the next chapter her names set as of this chapter but her backstory and design is open to the rest of you.

oh and I know you're reading this DZ2 when i noticed you reading one of my series I had a brief fan girl moment (I'm a 25 year old Man by the way) thanks for the inspiration this idea has been drilling the back of my mind for months
