Death's Chosen Knight

Chapter 1

Location Unknown, Date Unknown

Harriet was slowly regaining consciousness, feeling like she had been run over by a stampede of hippogriffs only to be followed by nearly being beaten to death by a troll. After a few minutes of trying to remember what she was doing before waking up like this, she shot up and winced at the pain. She groaned as she realized that she had been hit by a killing curse, curtsey of the Dark Wanker Tom.

Harriet had gone to the ministry to try and save her godfather, Sirius Black, after receiving a vision that he had been captured by the Dark Wanker and his followers. Sadly, that had been a trap and she played right into it.

After taking a few minutes to allow the pounding headache she had to subside, Harriet began to look around and saw that she was in some sort of temple. She looked and saw that there were three large statues in front of here. On the left, the statue appeared to be what looked like a griffin and the statue on the right appeared to be some form of a demonic bat-like creature. The middle statue appeared to be a scale with two symbols. Both of the scales appeared to be on their side to show the symbol instead of lying flat to put something on them. The left scale had a clover-like symbol while the right had a four-pointed star that was on its side to allow it to appear like an X. When Harriet looked up, she saw that the two symbols were combined with the star over the clover in a large stained glass window.

Harriet continued to look around only to turn and face the statues again when she felt the presence of someone appear. She gasped as she saw four people appear out of nowhere. The first was a very tall old man with grey skin and a long white beard. He also had cold green-blue eyes with black sclera. The second was a tall woman on his right and she had long green hair, glowing pale skin, and green eyes. The third being was a tall male with white skin, bald head and red tattoos on his face. His eyes were completely black with only his pupils being a glowing red. The final being was a tall thin woman with long black hair and endless, solid black eyes. She was in a black cloak that appeared to be made out of some form of a mist that flowed like water when she moved.

Harriet looked at the four people in front of her and asked, "Who are you and what am I doing here?"

The woman in the black cloak spoke in a cold, raspy voice that was also seductive and melodic at the same time, saying, "You, Harriet Jamie Potter, have died in a duel against the self-proclaimed Dark Lord, Tom Marvolo Riddle. And as for who I am, I am the debt that all men pay."

Harriet thought about it for a moment before she sighed and said, "You are Death, aren't you?"

Death merely nodded when the old man spoke up in an echoing voice, saying, "As for who we are, I am the Father. I am the keeper of balance between both the light and the dark. With me is my daughter, Ashla, who is the embodiment of the light side of the force. Also with me is my son, Bogan, who is the embodiment of the dark side of the force."

Death spoke up again, saying, "As for what you are doing here, you are faced with a choice. You were not supposed to die, instead, you were supposed to survive that fight and duel Tom Riddle a second time and defeat him a few years later. But Dumbledore interfered with your destiny and because of that, you died."

Harriet looked at the four beings and asked, "What do you mean that Dumbledore interfered and what do you mean I am faced with a choice?"

Bogan spoke up in a cold cruel voice, saying, "Dumbledore knew that Tom Riddle split his soul into multiple containers to keep him from passing on after death. He believed that you also became one of these containers. In the time he spent waiting for such an action, he could have used it to hunt down the rest of Tom's Horcruxes, but he decided to wait for you to do it. While the one in your head would have been harder to remove, it could have been done. But Dumbledore believed that you had to die by Tom Riddle's hand for it to be removed. That is how Dumbledore interpreted the prophecy that connected you and Tom."

Harriet sighed and said, "So what is my option? Do I get to go back and kick both of their asses?"

Ashla spoke up in a calm and comforting voice, saying, "I am afraid that such an option is impossible, but we can offer you another chance at life. Or you can pass on and go to your parents in the afterlife. The choice is yours."

Harriet thought about it for a moment and asked, "What would happen if I was to choose to take a second chance at life? What are you not telling me?"

The Father spoke up, answering, "There is a chance to change the future for all of the galaxy. While fate has spoken how what is to happen, the time for it to happen will take time and unfortunately, many will die in the process. This will be a chance to stop a dark war from taking place."

Harriet thought about it for a moment before asking, "What are you not telling me? I know there is something you are holding back."

Death looked at Harriet and said, "A Sith Lord grows more powerful and will soon cause much carnage and death before he is stopped. The one who can stop him will suffer great tragedy and will fall to become his apprentice. Billions will die before the Sith Lord is stopped, but you can change the outcome of such a future."

Harriet nodded and asked, "How will I help this person? I doubt I will be able to do so in my current condition."

Ashla soon spoke up, saying, "You will be reborn to a force user who has a dark future that will end in tragedy. We hope to change her future for the better by making you her daughter. We will also send you on a mission when you are much older, to follow in the footsteps of a force user who found balance in both the light and dark sides of the force."

Harriet nodded and said, "Then let's not waste any time. The sooner I am reborn; the sooner I can help someone who is in need of it. If this dark future you speak of can be stopped, then I will do all I can to keep it from happening."

With that, the four beings nodded and soon darkness overwhelmed Harriet as she fell unconscious once more, hoping that the outcome of the future could be changed.
