Prologue
Saturday, 2 May 1998
HJP's POV
Harry closed his eyes, ready.
"Harry, no!" he heard Hagrid argue by the side.
A tear rolled down Harry's cheek. 'I'm sorry, old friend. I might be dying tonight, but at least will be for a good reason.'
Another tear rolled down. He was a Gryffindor! He was supposed to face death head on and here he was crying for a life he'd barely lived. For a life that he'd never been allowed to live in before.
"Avada Kedavra!"
'No… I'm not ready to go!'
"Indeed, you are not."
Harry opened his eyes and found himself face-to-face with Voldemort.
"What?"
The Dark Lord sneered at Harry, before glancing to the side. Harry followed his line of sight, only to find a figureless figure.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore and his preconceived ideals. Honestly! How could you ever believe that human Horcruxes were real? Or worse! Deathly Hallows? Really?" Harry glanced at Voldemort, uncertain who also looked back. "Not to mention the prophecy that declares you two equals. Instead of accepting it… you go of killing each other!"
"The prophecy claims Harry as my demise."
"The One with power to vanish you." Harry added, making Voldemort look back. "Dumbledore showed me the memory with the actual prophecy."
Voldemort huffed.
"As if. You're nothing special!"
"I don't need to. Several unspecial ones together become one big special."
"I'll just have to kill all your friends, then."
Harry glanced back.
"ENOUGH!" Harry found his mouth sealed shut and the same for Voldemort. The two glared at Death. "Humans, honestly. You give them half a leash and they immediately start attacking everything in their sight. Where did I get wrong with you lot?"
'Wrong with… our… lot…?'
Harry's eyes grew.
"Yes. I'm called many names among humans. One of them is God. Not one. All of them. I am all of them and none and no, I didn't create the earth in seven days, Tom." Harry turned towards Voldemort with a raised eyebrow, who glared back. "Not even a minute, you two? Can you spend a while without going at each other's throat?" To Harry's amusement Voldemort rolled his eyes. "Now; as I was saying!" they returned their attention to God. "Harry is not Tom's Horcrux; so, Harry, you just gave away your life for no reason at all. Tom, Horcruxes don't prolong your life. Quite the contrary. You're 80-year-old and you look worse than your Professor Horace Slughorn who has 120-year-old. You both just died for a stupidity."
"My Horcruxes…"
"They don't prolong your life, you idiot boy! They diminish it! Way too fast for your soul to be of any use…"
"So… we're dead?" Harry asked.
"Indeed."
"Both of us?" Harry added, to make certain.
"By killing you, Tom killed himself." God agreed.
"So… what happens now? Where are we? Why are we with you? Why are we together? You must have lots more to do than to welcome two enemies to the after life."
"Harry?" Voldemort called and Harry glared back. "Shut up!"
"No, Tom, Harry has a point." Voldemort hissed at the name. "It's your name. Live with it. Oh, wait…" Harry snorted while Voldemort glared daggers at God. "You two are here because you lived a wrong life. You died the wrong way. The wasted way."
"So… we'll be allowed a second life?" Harry wondered, hopefully.
"Until you live the life I've decided for you. Then you'll die peacefully."
"How so?" Voldemort asked.
"I'll let you two realize it in your own way." God hummed as he thought something important. "Let's see if you two have learnt your lesson."
A blue light hit him in the face and Harry's eyes opened against his accord. He hadn't closed them… only to find himself on the floor of the Forbidden Forest. Was that… a dream?
"My Lord?" he heard Bellatrix ask.
"Is he alive?" Voldemort sneered.
A set of footsteps approached and then Harry felt Mrs Malfoy leaning forward over him as if to check.
"Is Draco alive?" Harry nodded, barely a muscle. Then, Mrs Malfoy turned her head. "He is dead."
Harry could hear a relieved sigh from Voldemort. He closed his eyes and let the Dark Wizards take their claims… for now.
–ATDHEA–
"Engorgio!" Harry hissed against his golden snitch.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort hissed back.
Only for the green spell to hit the snitch and bound back against Voldemort, killing him. Although, instead of celebrating, Harry found himself facing God again right by Voldemort's side. Harry's eyes grew.
"Did you two even listen to a thing I said?" God practically screamed on their ears.
Harry blushed deep red and lowered his head.
–ATDHEA–
Harry gasped at finding himself before God again.
"His fault." Harry hissed. "I was living a good life away from everything!"
Voldemort sneered.
"Don't worry next time I won't kill you."
–ATDHEA–
Even though he was dead, Harry could still feel the after effects of the constant torture Voldemort had applied to him throughout decades and decades…
"That's it, you two, I'm taking your mafic away this time!" God snarled.
Harry shivered at the thought of another lifetime at Voldemort's mercy.
–ATDHEA–
"You idiotic… did you kill yourself?" Voldemort hissed at Harry.
"Muggle or not. Torture is torture!" Harry retorted back.
Voldemort huffed.
–ATDHEA–
Harry hugged his legs close, crying.
"What's wrong with him? I didn't go after him!" he heard V ask God.
"Malfoy did." Harry argued as he hiccupped.
"Draco?" Harry nodded into his knees. "What did he do?"
"Killed my wife and children…"
"Then he tried to rape Harry, who cut his own wrists." God explained when Harry was unable to continue.
Voldemort snarled.
"How dare he? Send me back! Send me back to that world!"
"I cannot. Harry is already dead."
"An hour… and to wake up near that idiot!"
Harry glanced up just as God nodded, touched Voldemort on the face with his hand and Voldemort disappeared in a flash of blue light. Voldemort reappeared right away and approached Harry giving him a small doll. Harry accepted his daughter's doll, hugging it close.
"Di… did he… did…?"
"Yes." Voldemort agreed, standing.
–ATDHEA–
"Why did you kill him?" God snarled. "You were finally doing so well!"
"Have you ever realized that in all these lifetimes his parents are always dead? You say we are making progress? Harry married, had a child again… until I was too late to get to him! Sure he ran towards me for comfort and protection, but he had already been…"
"Tom…" Harry whispered and Voldemort snarled, stepping into Harry's personal place and hugging him close.
God huffed.
"So, you want to protect Harry? Be his protector?"
"Yes."
"So be it."
Harry closed his eyes as one more time his mind was waked in a teenage version of his after he was hit by a flash of blue light that came from the God's hand all the way to his head and Voldemort's. He opened his eyes and sighed.
"Here we go again…"
