"It has to be me"
2nd of May, 1998
There was nothing. No sensation. No feeling. No thoughts. Just green. A green light that shines so brightly from the killing curse that hit Hariel's body and then her vision went black. Black nothingness everywhere. It feels hollow. It feels empty. Darkness closes in.
Then suddenly bright unblemished, pure, sterile white without any source of light that shine behind her eyelids and Hariel Potter slowly opened her eyes. Blinking at the sudden brightness that entered her eyes, Hariel stood from her lying position and put a hand in front of her face to shadowed her eyes. Everything was white and nebulous, the place surroundings still not completely formed into matter. The more she looked however and the more she realized, there was something extremely familiar about the place she was in. It looked like King's Cross station. A very clean, deserted King's Cross station.
"Hello Mistress..." said someone behind her in a raspy voice.
Hariel blinked and lowered her hand while looking over her shoulder to see a skeletal figure garbed in an ancient dark robe while carrying scythe on his hand. "Death?" her inquired gaining a nod and a bow from the hooded figure. Raising one eyebrow, Hariel turned around and stared deeply into the hooded figure with her glowing emerald eyes.
"We finally meet Mistress. And I must say I have been waiting for you." said Death.
"Waiting for me? Where am I? Why you are here?" asked Hariel strangely feeling calm with Death hovering her and wondering why it feels familiar to her like a long lost friend. I must definitely dead.
"You are not dead Mistress, not yet. Just stuck in limbo between death and life, for all eternity, unable to move on. And I am here because I am your Shadow and Servant. Your old friend that has been watching you since you're born." replied Death while reaching out with his fingers to their surrounding before her, and then immediately a strange form of something come forth in front of them, wiggling and squirming and moaning. It looked like a deformed, overgrown baby with scorched red skin and bloody red eyes. It looked so pitiful and Hariel felt something break in her at the scene. Is that what I'm thinking it is...?
"One of Voldemort's soul that it was inside your head. Yes it was Voldemort...and you cannot help him Mistress." Death stoically explained, "You expended all of your magical energy fighting the abomination that used to be Tom Marvolo Riddle, and he killed it himself when he cursed you in that forest. The connection between your body and his soul has been broken. He will remain here for all eternity also, unable to move on."
There was a few moments of silence as both figured looked at the creature in front of them
"So what happens now? I cannot see my family and leave this limbo? And could you please stop calling me Mistress?" asked Hariel tiredly, but with despair in her voice. Still looking to the creature before her with blank looked on her face and pity in her eyes, Hariel didn't know what to think.
