"A second chance," Death said.

Harry stopped in front of a bench and turned to look at the being. "A second chance at what?"

"Life."

Harry laughed bitterly. "Because that has worked out so great the first time?"

Death tilted its head. "You've changed," it stated.

"Life does that to you," Harry said and his mind felt clearer than ever, "Or should I say the last seven years. I never really left this place, have I? I lived a life feeling not quite dead and not alive either," he spat.

"I know how you feel," Death said after a moment, grinning.

"Oh, do you," Harry retorted and pierced Death with a look.

The being's smirk widened as it leaned closer.
"Bored."

Years after the war, Harry Potter lives an apathetic life. When Death offers him a second chance he takes it.
Accompanied by the being, Harry travels back to the summer before Sirius dies. Inside his younger body and the memories of an older self, Harry realizes that being connected to Death may have twisted his morals a little more than expected.
Seeking to make up for the boredom of past years, Harry isn't above carving his own space between two sides to even out the playing field.

Choices of the Heart by Naadi11
10 parts Complete
Immediately after defeating Voldemort, Harry begins to have strange dreams, dreams that pull him once more into the realm of the newly dead. At first, the dreams are only a curious mystery, and Harry sets about putting his life back in order after the war. But when Harry dreams of Narcissa Malfoy, his life suddenly goes in a much different direction than the one he'd always imagined. This story ties up the loose ends about the Elder Wand and the Deathly Hallows. Choices of the Heart was written for the following prompt: "You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying." Note: The story contains conversations with dead people in dreams, most of these are older original characters, but there is one OC child. No actual deaths are portrayed and no canon characters die except for those who have already died in canon. I understand that death may not the easiest thing to read about for some, but I want to assure readers that I have tried to handle the concept of death in this story in the most uplifting way possible. This is not a story about loss and angst, but about finding hope and love, making choices, and trusting in the beauty and synchronicity of the universe, even if one crosses the boundaries between life and death. It also has, like almost everything I do, a generous share of silliness. There are also four hidden jokes/plays on words in the fic. ;-)

His attention moved to the politicians' pavilion after passing the students. His gaze was locked with crimson. He almost faltered under the pressure of the hunger in those eyes. He was unnerved by how fixated the man was on his dirty figure. But what troubled him more was the slight smirk he could make out on the man's lips. It was almost pleasing. Despite her husband's death, Lily managed to escape with her child the night of the attack. Distraught and distrusting of her friends, she fled to France with Harry, to raise him away from the corruption in Britain and the rising influence of the Dark Lord. She trains him to the best of her abilities, shaping him into a dangerous, intelligent, and powerful wizard. After Britain reestablishes the Triwizard Tournament, Harry, now known as Hadrian, finds himself forced to return to his former home and starts to question whether killing the Dark Lord is what he really wants. With his intrigue and amusement growing, Voldemort grows more and more determined to possess the spark in those defiant green eyes. DISCLAIMER: THIS STORY DOES NOT BELONG TO ME.
