Chapter 2

"Hello Harry, we need to talk"

"Who are you?" asked confused Harry

"I'm Fate"

"Huh?" gobsmacked repeated, Harry

"Oh you know, Fate. No? Well, I had many names, Dalia? Postverta? Moirai? Hemsut? You get the picture, I am the goddess of Fate, hence the name." she smiled fondly "You can't call me Huh thought. I really hate him, stupid Egyptian pretentious minor god…" she looked to be lost in thoughts. "That doesn't matter, we are here to talk about you and your death"

"Why?" still not knowing what was going on. Suddenly Harry realized what she just said: "I died?"

"Yes!" laughed Fate "Yes you did! I will tell you it wasn't pretty." informed him the goddess.

"What happen?" he asked still lost for words.

Tapping her chin and thinking how to best answer him, she suddenly got serious, looked directly into his eyes and said "That piece of shit, self-called leader of the Light. Mister Albus-three-faked-names Dumbledore put magic blocks on you"

She was about to continue but, Harry suddenly got up and screamed: "HE WHAT?"

"Oh, I see you understand, yes he did block your magic" He wanted to interrupt her again but she holds her hands up to stop him and continued "no please let me finish first. I will answer some of your questions later, not all, can't give you everything on a silver platter" grinned Fate "Long story short, he fucked up" snorted Harry "Yes he did. He fucked up big time. Remember that night when Voldemort attacked? Of course, you remember, after that, you stopped doing any magic. Basically, there was a prophecy about a child who will be able to destroy Tom" Seeing questioning look on his face she explained "Tom Marvolo Riddle aka Voldemort aka cheater who will never rest in peace after death. Why would he try to gain immortality in the worst possible way? Oh don't look like that, it will ruin the surprise later"

"You were saying about that Halloween night, can you tell me what happened? Please?" pleaded Harry

"Right, sorry, anyway there was a prophecy. No, I won't tell you it's content, it really doesn't matter, as I was saying, old fool, Dumbledore that is picked wrong boy-who-lived." She told him grinning. Seeing again his confusion she elaborated "You see, good old Voldie attacked YOU, not your brother Charlus. You destroyed his body that night, and YOU were destined to destroy him!" She stopped for a moment to summon two glasses and some weird drink "Do you want some?" he shocked his head. She poured herself it and drank some "Good stuff, you won't find it on earth. Are you sure you don't want any?"

"Maybe later" replied Harry irritation clearly heard in his voice

"Suit yourself, anyway. Dumbles just flipped a coin and picked wrong child as I said. Then in his short sight thought it would help Charlus with his destiny if he would be away from his brother and put overpowered magical blocks on you. His real goal was for your parents to send you away but Lily and James are too good people to get rid of their child. The blocks supposed to last until your thirteenth birthday but moron made them to strong. Hogwart magic sending letters didn't pick you, it couldn't sense your magic. So in his infinite wisdom, Albus decided you are a squib." She sipped her drink again, cleared her throat and continued "Really bad luck you could go to goblins to make sure you are a squib but clearly, none thought about it, well none except loved dumdum" Now though there is a twist of Fate!" she said and laughed at her joke. Harry groaned "Ugh are you related to Sirius?"

Fate snorted "No but he is funny, anyway, I will be sending back. We can't have destroyed the world now can we?"

"I'm going back? To my family? Will I be able to do magic?" quickly fired Harry, his bright eyes with hope in them.

Fate laughed again "Weren't you listening to me? For all the intelligence you have you can be pretty dumb"

After frowning from her words he repeated conversation with the goddess in his head, her words finally sunk in "I will see my brother again" he said with tears. Suddenly he got serious "I will have to go to goblins and take my blocks out right?"

"Bingo," she said grinning. "Now you will have to do couple things. First things first though. I will be sending you back on the day of your twelve birthday. It will give you a year to prepare and readjust yourself to the magical world once again. I won't be taking any memories from you, so everything you learned in the mundane world will stay. Normally when we send people back, we do alter their memories slightly and remove some important things, but as you were away and have no real knowledge what was going on, we can skip it."

"Do you often send people back? I'm not the first right? And thank you for allowing me to keep my mind intact" interrupted Harry with a few additional questions.

"Of course you are not the first one. You are special, that is pretty obvious, but you are not the only one in history who had destiny ahead of him and got screwed by some things," with the disgusted look she added "or someone"

"Great, so what exactly are you expecting me to do? You want me to kill Voldemort? How am I supposed to do this?"

"Firstly, I want you to prepare for the inevitable fight with Tommy. As I said earlier, he did something to keep him alive. After he attacked you, his body got destroyed, but spirit survived. He created couple very dark objects that prevented his death. You have to remember its name, Horcruxes. You will have to destroy them first before going after him. I won't tell you how many or what he used for them to create, that would be telling, and where is fun in that."

Horcruxes thought Harry testing its name. "What are Horcruxes?"

After taking another sip from her drink and thinking about how to answer that question, she looked straight into his eyes and with all seriousness, she answered "It's an abomination. There is no foulest magic created by humans. To create Horcrux you have to kill someone with cold blood, without an ounce of remorse and with all the hate you can muster. After murdering someone you force yourself with all the power you have to split your soul into the object of your choosing. It's worst kind of magic that exists. Not only it splits your soul into in half every time you do it, but it also changes you. A person creating one becomes less human every time. To give you an example let's look at Tom after his resurrection. Not only he looked more like a reptile than human but his behavior changed too. He was more aggressive, easier to anger and little humanity he had left before, was lost. Voldemort or anyone creating one will become bloodhungry. Never able to satisfy this hunger, he will kill anyone in a way for his goals." she trailed off, with a sudden cruel smile on her lips she continued "He will never rest in peace. After death, he will stay in limbo, never able to move on. In pain, alone only with himself and his thoughts, he will go crazy. After a few days of screaming, he will be begging for the pain and misery to stop. No such luck. Messing one's soul is one ticket to his personal hell."

As she spoke he was terrified of the fate of his enemy but after thinking what Voldemort did, he knew eternal pain was something he deserved "Good, he killed my brother. I don't know anybody else who would deserve such end"

Fate snorted "Try Dumbledore" Harry was speechless. Dumbledore was considered a great man, Leader of the Light. Greatest Wizard of all time. Why would he deserve the same fate as Voldemort? Fate seeing his questioning look elaborated "He is an evil man pretending to be the god. The block he put on you? Just explosion from your magic killed over a thousand people. Your family almost died too. A few minutes later and they would enter the hospital you were in and would be gone. Harry, I know whole magical Britain and most of the world thinks he is modern Merlin, god gift to humanity. I will tell you that he is not. He caused more deaths than Voldemort and Grindelwald combined and it wasn't even close. His first kill was his own sister! Granted it was an accident, stray spell during one of many duels with his lover Gelert. After Grindelwald started conquering Europe, Dumbledore should join against him as fast as possible. He of course eventually joined fighting him but it was too late and there were many unnecessary deaths. World war two rings any bells? The same thing happened with Voldemort. If he tried earlier things would be different. He should inform everyone of Tom real origins, his muggle father, a lot fewer people would join his cause."

"I don't believe it, he can't be that bad, that were just bad decisions. No one is perfect." He tried to convince her, but he began to see the man was far from good.

"You are bloody right no one is perfect!" replied angered Fate "He is an old fool, playing with people lives. He's acting like a puppet master and doesn't look at the consequences of his actions. You know, Severus Snape?" Harry thought for a second trying to think about who she was talking about. Remembering his mother telling him about her childhood friend he nodded "Yes, he was the one that told prophecy to Voldi. HE was the reason, Tommie, attack you on that Halloween. You were really lucky, imagine if he attack and your parents were home? The would die. Leaving you and your brother alone." Seeing Harry's outraged eyes she continued to make her point "Of course couple tears from Severus, the couple lies how he didn't mean it and poof Albus gives Snape teaching spot as potion master. Further, Longbottoms, you know Neville and Augusta right? Alice and Frank, Neville parents, they can easily be cured. Few potions, some mental work and they are as good as new. What Albus decided? He didn't need them. It was bad enough Charlus who he thought was chosen one had parents and normal childhood, he robbed another candidate of it. That's just the tip of the iceberg. I won't tell you what he did to your brother or your family, I don't think you could control yourself in his presence, but it wasn't pretty. Just know this that he was spreading lies that Sirius was your parent's secret keeper knowing full well it was the rat and hoping that Black would end up in Azkaban."

Voldemort, Dumbledore it doesn't matter, I am going back. Whoever tries to hurt my family, my friends will suffer. I won't allow it. No one hurts my family and gets away with it. Charlus, Dorea, my parents. Even Sirius, Akeno their lovely twins Ara and Lyrea and Capheus. Whoever dares will see what happens when you mess with Potter! Still deep in thoughts, Harry didn't even notice Fate small smile on her face. After a few minutes he decided, he would kill anyone who tried hurt his family: "What do you need me to do?"

Fate chuckled, "Such determination, good, you will need it. As I said earlier I will send you to the day of your twelve birthday. The first thing you do is talk to your parents into taking you to Gringotts and destroy blokes you have on your magic. Then prepare. It will take some time, I know you are smart and will be powerful but you need all the advantages you can to succeed in your task."

Harry interrupted her "I get it, but what exactly you want from me, what's the end goal here!" he almost shouted at her.

"Admirable, but you are couple thousand years too young to intimidate me" On purpose now to see how patient he is, she snapped her fingers again and french fries appeared on the table before her. Slowly eating one after another. After some time seeing how Harry was about to burst, anger almost visible she continued "I, of course, want you to kill Riddle and destroy all his Horcruxes. Next or whenever you really please you will destroy Dumbledore, I will even give you bonus points if you manage to tarnish his reputation. No matter what you do, you have to kill both of them, you don't have to be the one dealing final blow, but both of them have to die! I don't even care if you live or not. I don't care if your family lives or dies." she said with a serious look "It is your only chance to save the world. There won't be more coming back."

"If I have to kill both of them, to save my family I'll do it," he said with conviction in his voice

"Good now that we have this out of our way we need to talk about a few more things. Voldemort and you are part of the prophecy. No, I won't tell you it content, if you won't find it and listen to it yourself. Basically, you are the only one that can kill him. Or he can kill you" she was trying to continue but was stopped as Harry almost yelled.

"Great so how I died thanks to Dumbledore block and not by his hand"

"Oh finally you are proving you are smarter than you look" she answered with a smirk "Prophecies often are about technicalities. Technically speaking, Voldemort attack on you forced Dumbledore to put a block on you. It wasn't the case here. Prophecies only apply to wizards or witches. You believed you are a squib, everyone believed you were a squib. So this part of the prophecy didn't apply to you! Technicalities but that's how it works, Destiny is responsible for prophecies and she can be a bitch" She smiled fondly at the mention of other goddesses "Back to the topic. The prophecy states that you and he are equal. Of course like you learned prophecies can be a fickle thing, so being equal can mean a number of things. It can mean you are equal in height, weight, whatever. You get the picture. In this case, though, it means you are both equal in power. Yes, both of you are quite powerful for mortals, so as you see it won't be that easy to take him down. I'm sure you will manage. I believe in you." she finished with a fond smile he was about to reply but Fate added, "don't let the pressure get to you but world survival depends from you"

"It can't be that bad if I fail?" he asked terrified

"Oh no, it will be a lot worse, imagine world war two with everyone using nuclear weapons. Hopefully, it won't come to that. I would be buried in work for a long time" she replied seriously

"So" Harry tried to summarize what he learned "I will go back, remove blocks from my magic, fight, and finger crossed kill both Dumbledore and Riddle and survive. Live happy ever after. Something I missed?"

"Nope got that quicker than I expected to be honest" happily replied Fate.

Unsure about the answer he finally asked "Can I tell anyone? My parents deserve to know!"

Thinking about it she told him. "Sure you can tell your parents or anyone you trust with absolute certainty, BUT only after receiving unbreakable vow about not telling about it or talking about what we talked here to anyone else, magical oath punishable by death works too" stopping for a moment and finally standing up "you can even show them memories you think appropriate"

Harry standing up asked "So that's it? I'm going back? How does that work? You snap your fingers and I wake up in my bed on my twelve birthday?"

Fate laughed "Well yeah, what you expected some obscure ritual and sacrificing hundreds of virgins? I AM a goddess, I do what I want and when I want."

After walking with him for few minutes she said "It's time" she snapped her fingers and Harry disappeared. She laughed "Still got it!"

A/N

I know my English is not perfect, It's my third language and I actually never studied it in school, all I know is from couple fo years of self-study, movies or games. If anyone is interested in being a Beta message me. I really appreciate all criticism so feel free to point all mistakes, and I hope it will help me in my writing. That's the reason I started writing fanfiction to improve my English.

Harry will be powerful, but he won't roll over his enemies like they are kindergarten children. War with Voldemort will be tough and Dumbledore won't be an easy target either.

I'm happy someone likes my pairing. I always liked OC's and Sirius troublemaker girls seemed for me as a perfect pick. Btw kaixbi if you are looking for some twins/Harry pairing fics check out "The year too soon" by Nhunter, in it Harry goes to Hogwarts year earlier is sorted into Slytherin and from the look of things he will be paired with Hestia and Flora Carrow. It is not complete but I hope the author did not abandon it. I definitely enjoyed reading it.

Originally I wanted Fate to recap events at Hogwarts, but I decided it would be better for the story if Harry didn't know everything. Obviously, he knows some things, like the Chamber of Secret being open or Triwizard Tournament but doesn't know any details.

Next chapter will include everything until the train ride.
