Chereads / HARRY POTTER: ASCENSION BOOK 1 / Chapter 31 - Master of Death Part Two

Chapter 31 - Master of Death Part Two

Harry smiled in the afterglow of what he shared with this particular incarnation of Death. He tightened his arms around her, it was another woman that he conquered and he could not get enough of that thought. A smile crossed over his face as he remembered this moment, this great moment where he united the Hallows. It was just the first step to something amazing, the sorcerer had a feeling that this was only the beginning.

"Our time grows short here," Death of the Endless told Harry as she wrapped her arms around him tightly. Her master was amazing with his attentions to her needs but there were a few things that needed to be done before there was more pleasure. He had mastered Death….although there would be many more ways and times he would master her in the coming months and years.

There was no need to run through all of the possibilities within the first few months, that was for sure. Harry rested with her.

"You will feel your powers increase with each day, as you become the barrier between life and afterlife," Death told him although she was finding it very hard to work through coherent thoughts. After the amazing time she had with Harry, it was not hard to realize the benefits of this arrangement. The dark haired woman's hair framed her face as she rested into him.

"The Hallows were just keys to powers that I already had," Harry concluded and she smiled, her lips pursing into a smile as she snuggled even closer into the strong chest of her amazing master. There was a second where she paused and kept her eyes locked onto him.

"Yes, the keys to those powers, which made you even stronger than you would be without them," Death remarked to her master.

That was the thing about the Hallows…..they were keys first and foremost….and those keys could unlock a lot of power. The woman thought about how essentially useless they would be for someone who was not deemed worthy of holding that particular power. In fact, they would be considered less than nothing, with the Hallows in their hands.

"Yes….it's working out well," Death said to Harry as the woman snuggled in her chest. "But there is much more left for you to explore."

Death turned towards Harry as she leaned towards him, draping her legs over his hips as she playfully straddled him. The woman ran her hands down his muscular chest, feeling the delights that many other women had shared previously.

"I'm glad….it's working out," Harry grunted as Death kept massaging his muscles underneath her hands and felt the chiseled peaks underneath them.

"Yes…I am as well," Death admitted to herself as she planted a light kiss on the top of his forehead and kept smiling at the hints of enjoyment that would come next. "I will call upon you if I need assistance….although there will be times where I will visit you in the physical body that I have appropriated on the mortal plane for pleasure, as well as for business."

Harry was finding himself having no problems whatsoever with this. He wrapped his arms around the harbinger of the afterlife. She bent down and planted her soft lips onto his and wrapped her arms tightly around him as she playfully grinded against him.

"You will have mortal females and immortals as well lining up to have a piece of you, as it should be," Death commented as she started to kiss the side of his neck and Harry cupped her hot ass in his hand. "And they will all be amazed by your prowess."

"Well, I aim to please," Harry said smugly as he kept running his hands down her body, feeling the smoothness of her skin.

"And you….you always aim to please," Death agreed as Harry turned her around and he pinned her down on the bed.

"I'm sure that I aim to please everyone because I've sure mastered you," Harry remarked with a bright grin on his face as he cupped her face and also other parts of her body. He was able to send jolts from his hands into her body increasing the pleasure that she felt. Harry idly traced the muscles of her trim stomach with his hand.

"You have mastered me and you own me but there are other forms of Death that you must master," Death offered as Harry cupped her face and leaned in for a deep kiss. The emerald eyed wizard kept kissing her, as the two of them teased each other on the bed.

Death thought that this was the type of man who would be worth waiting an eternity for because this was a man who was born only once an eternity. She pondered the plan that she had; help in the creation of the Hallows which bring him before her when the time was right. Many other higher powers would join them in time the Greek Goddesses being only the first. Though with Harry running his masterful hands over her body like this, it was hard to concentrate on business, let alone have a cognizant thought.

"Your creation….whilst not conventional….was a thing of beauty," Death remarked as she rolled Harry over once again, although he allowed her to. Death was not going to do anything to Harry that he did not allow her to do.

He was her master, therefore in some strange ways, he was the master of everything that was. This was the next step of his ascension but there would be many more to go. She was about ready to succumb to him again, one more time before she went off into the night. His kisses moved over her lips as she succumbed to her desires, her heart thumping within her chest as Harry kept working over her. The dark haired woman was feeling the pleasure underneath him.

"We must part ways soon but I think that there is enough time for us to have some more enjoyment out of our arrangement," Death told him.

Harry smiled towards Death and he ran his fingers through her dark hair and felt her arousal increase.

"Yes, I believe so," Harry agreed and it was time for another round between the both of them.

Nyssa smiled as she stood on the balcony of the villa in Italy that they were staying at. She could have sworn that plenty of time had passed, maybe more than a day or two but checking by her watch, it was only less than six hours or so. Which was good because she could appreciate something that was long lasting, and Harry definitely proved his stamina to her in that regard. The dark haired woman placed a hand on her face and there was a smile on her face so wide there was a chance it might need to be surgically removed.

She felt his strong arms wrap around her body and there was no question about it, this just felt so right. His arms tightened around her waist and she leaned back into him. There was a few seconds where she paused and closed her eyes as she basked in the feeling of him holding her tightly against him.

"Enjoying the atmosphere?" Harry whispered to her.

"It's amazing," Nyssa remarked to him as she did not turn around, at least not just yet. She was merely content to lean back into him.

It was amazing how this started out, as a mission to get a feel for him but now, she had truthfully fallen for him and she could not believe this. His strong arms wrapped around her body that was the true ticket to something that felt simply divine. She rested her head back against his shoulder.

"I wouldn't be opposed to more than what we're doing now," Nyssa commented in a light tone of voice a smile across her face as she finally properly turned around to face Harry after the moment of blissful silence.

"I don't think I would be either," Harry informed her as he grabbed her wrists and backed her up. The woman offered a slight sigh as Harry kept backing her up into his room. "It's amazing, what the two of us have shared together."

"You are amazing," Nyssa corrected him as she stepped towards him and planted a light kiss on his lips, a gesture that Harry returned. His arms tightened around her. "And there will be plenty of young women at your beck and call."

'As it should be,' Nyssa added to herself mentally. She was fully recharged and in fact, felt stronger than ever.

"So…I find early in the morning that there are certain physical activities that are rather refreshing," Nyssa told him and Harry raised an eyebrow as he beckoned for her to continue. And continue was what she did. The smile growing over her face was alluring and strong. "I think that a morning sparring session will get us worked up and keep us in working order for other activities."

Harry placed a hand on his hip and smiled.

"Do you know anything about the fighting arts?" Nyssa asked.

"I've learned a few things over the years during my travels, but I'm always willing to test my skills against fresh opponents," Harry remarked, wondering where this was going.

Nyssa smiled as she got dressed, she was curious if his talents extended further than she believed. So far he had passed several tests with flying colors but she had a few more that she would like to give him. She had a feeling that he would be up for them but only time would tell if he would be able to see them through. She had a feeling that like everything else he did not only would he do so, but excel past all expectations.

"There's a gym downstairs that would allow us a chance to fully access your skills," Nyssa offered him. "Unless you think that you can't handle it, beloved?"

Harry only had a smile across his face, it was one of those "you're serious, right?" smiles but his arms folded over his chest. He watched Nyssa as the two of them made their way down to the gym. They would have another day out with their other friends later but right now duty came first.

They made their way downstairs to a magnificent sparring area and the two of them faced against each other, staring the other down. Both of them stepped face to face with each other, smiles crossing their face.

"Are you ready?" Nyssa asked with a smile crossing over her face.

"Yes, I'm ready," Harry told her, he was completely and utterly ready, one hundred percent of the way. There was a few seconds where he paused and saw her eyes focused on him, trying to get a feel for him.

She looked to be checking him out, to see what he would do, how he would strike. The two circled each other, smiles on their faces, both trying to gauge the reaction that the other might have. Their eyes locked onto each other.

"Ready when you are," Nyssa remarked as she turned her hand around and her hand waved towards him.

"I'm ready now," Harry told her.

They continued to circle each other, trying to jockey for position in this sparring session that the both of them tried to enjoy with each other. The two individuals stared each other down as smiles crossed their faces. There was a second of time where everything was paused as both sides kept their eyes locked upon the other. Neither of then wanted to make the wrong move.

Then it was time for things to begin. Harry motioned for Nyssa to come forward and she tried to take him out. Harry avoided the first strike and pivoted on his foot. He went for a kick but Nyssa caught it and deflected it.

She smiled, this was not going to be an easy sparring session. This was the way she liked it. Her smile became even wider.

"I thought you said that you were ready?" Harry questioned her, with a half of a smile across his face.

"Just wait," Nyssa told him as she measured him, about ready to make a move. The dark haired woman let out the breath that she had been holding in her body. She circled around Harry, measuring him and she rushed in for the attack.

She swung a pivoting punch and Harry grabbed her around the wrist. He pushed her arm back then twisted it around. He slammed his foot down across the back of her leg and grabbed her up by the hair, hurling her head over heels off to the side.

Nyssa landed on her feet straight behind Harry and struck a pose, a smile crossing her face. She had a smile on her face as she charged him but Harry dodged the attack. He dodged another punch, a third punch, and a fourth punch, as he tried to wear her out.

It was just like Faora taught him, sometimes it was far better to wear people out then expend your own energy. The emerald eyed wizard casually evaded other attack. His green eyes fixed on her and he motioned for her to continue. The emerald eyed wizard smiled as she charged him once again.

Nyssa enjoyed this, she really enjoyed this, it had been far far too long since she'd sparred against someone of this skill level. She enjoyed throwing a few punches Harry's way but Harry dodged them again.

"Good, quicker, faster," Harry told her as the two circled each other.

She pulled out a pair of blades but Harry had a blade of his own. He blocked the shots and the blades clung together with a force. There was a loud clang as both of them slammed together. There was a few seconds where both of them pushed together.

Nyssa smiled as the battle continued, he was one of the toughest opponents she had ever gone up against, although she was taking it easy now

It was time to kick things up a notch.

Hermione was looking forward to wrapping up her Muggle education in style. Now that she had her NEWTs, she could do pretty much anything that she wanted, there were no problems at all in that regard. The brunette witch pondered her future as she took in everything.

"So….deep thoughts?" Harry whispered to Hermione and she had a smile on her face in spite of herself.

"Yeah….I'm actually more relaxed than I've ever been," Hermione remarked as Harry stood behind her for a few minutes. The brunette witch offered him a smile though the look in his eyes caused her to wonder something. "It isn't….you didn't try and drug me or something, did you?"

Harry offered her a look of mock astonishment. "I wouldn't….I wouldn't dare do such a thing."

"Yeah, right," Hermione dead panned as she placed her hands on the back of her head but Harry reached over and placed his hands around her waist. "It is nice to wind down with all of the insanity."

"Yeah, I've been trying to tell you that for years," Harry told Hermione and the brunette nodded, Harry had fought with her during three and a half years of Hogwarts. It was a constant uphill struggle to get Hermione in line.

'And she's finally….she's finally getting it,' Faora thought to them.

'Took a long enough bloody time,' Daphne remarked as she was pretty much there for all of Harry's efforts to get Hermione to unwind and relax.

'I bet you it won't last,' Rose commented, knowing that in about a month, Hermione would be gearing up for school.

Charlotte was really amused at the harsh truth of the matter, they had Hermione pegged. If she didn't know for certain that her daughter had been this way for most of her life, she would be compelled to jump in and offer some kind of defense but it was true. The brunette woman kept a smile across her face as she clapped her hands over her waist and joined them.

Harry turned to face Charlotte and she was standing there in her bathrobe. It was an enticing sight.

"So, how's Nyssa?" Charlotte asked.

"I think she's out like a light," Lindsey commented to Harry and the wizard smiled at her. "She got to experience the full Harry Potter treatment."

Harry smiled, that was something that was clear as day. When someone experienced the full force of Harry Potter, there was no question about it, they were left wrecked behind him.

His modesty was surely something that he could stand to work on granted, but modest wasn't really who he was.

"There's never enough ladies on my schedule," Harry stated to the group of women and they nodded to each other. That was completely true.

"Very true," Lindsey offered as she edged towards Harry, wrapping her arms around him and she leaned into him.

Their lips met with a kiss and Harry encouraged her actions as he wrapped his arms around her youthful body. It snugly pressed against him as there was a few seconds where the woman wrapped around him and her tongue snaked into his mouth as her arms tightened even more impressively. The woman was enjoying the sensations and the attention that he was giving her.

"Hey, save some for us," Hermione whined with a pout.

"Sorry, Hermione, if you want to take control, you've got to take control," Charlotte remarked with a grin as she guided Lindsey away from their man.

Lindsey pouted, her arms crossed and her actions ceased. Yet she allowed this to happen, she allowed Charlotte to wrap her arms tightly around Harry and her tongue to enter his mouth. The green eyed wizard was kissed fully and hard, as Harry brought her body into his tightly. Her large breasts pressing against his muscular chest. His hands roamed all over her body as well, caressing every single inch of her amazing flesh.

'Time for some fun,' Charlotte thought to Harry as she cupped him from behind.

Harry smiled, he wondered when she was going to get down to business.

Harry lay between Charlotte, Lindsey, and Hermione all fucked into various states of disarray. They'd be okay in a few hours but even with the stamina potions, Harry gave them quite a go. He could not believe the tender pleasures that they gave him but it was amazing.

'So….I'm guessing Prime is back at the castle now?" Harry thought to Faora through the bond link.

'Essentially,' Faora remarked. 'He has the three keys.'

'Oh, I'm guessing that he's finally done at Hogwarts,' Harry commented as he saw that Hermione and Charlotte snuggled into each other, with Hermione drooling on her mother's heaving chest. He smiled at the sight.

'Yep, out of that rat race, I'm sure Peve will tell him what needs to be done, just enjoy your holiday, if something comes up whilst he's in the castle, well you'll know all about it after the memory dump,'

Harry smiled, he knew that much was true.

One aspect of Death had been placed underneath Harry's thumb but he knew that there was a lot to do. His green eyes flashed as he made his way into the next realm.

He took in the sights of the new reality of the world around him. It was quite different then the one he was in before, whilst the one where he met his previous version of Death was one that was that of warm intentions and great tidings of joy. This place was one that was dangerous and felt that there was fire and brimstone licking around the air.

Harry felt the flames lick his body but…..there was nothing that harmed him. Had anyone who was not worthy tried to pass through this location, Harry figured that they would be consumed by the fire and it would not be amongst the most friendly fire either. His green eyes flooded with dangerous intentions as he made his way up the steps. His knee would come out from underneath him had he not had some good balance.

"You have arrived."

Harry grew rigid and extremely calm as he leaned his ear towards the left. There was a second where he paused.

He could see that the person that he sought would be on the other side of these doors. There was a pause that resounded through his mind as he took another step forward.

The flames licked around the door, shooting up. There was an explosion as he saw a few faces in the walls. There were skulls and bones all over the ground which he casually floated over.

"Yes, I'm here," Harry told her.

If he had not seen the things that he had, he would be completely terrified with the horrors that surrounded him. He could still respect the fears that he could nearly sense but he did not allow them to grip him.

There was no question about who she was. She had platinum blonde hair that framed her face, going down past her shoulders. She had dark eyes that was black as night. Her juicy red lips puckered fairly invitingly. She wore a thin black top that was basically a leather bikini. She was tall with a body built for sin. Her black panties wrapped around her lower body, as she only covered but scarcely needed to be covered. He was greeted by a pair of gigantic breasts that would give Karen a run for her money. She had a seductive smile that was upon her face as she locked her eyes onto Harry.

"You are the one who the Endless told me was coming," the woman said lightly as she kept her eyes locked onto Harry's. She could tell that he was completely up to any task that she gave him. "And you would be the only one to step into this realm willingly."

"Yes, I would," Harry offered to her as he stepped towards her and extended his hand. She took his hand and he squeezed hers. "It's a pleasure to meet you…."

"Lady Death," she informed him with a regal smile crossing over her face and Harry kissed her on the knuckles. The pale skinned woman nodded.

"Har-Zod, at your service," Harry said to her.

"I know," she replied as she leaned back allowing him to get a glimpse of all of her "Whilst you have went to the location of those who have lived lives that allow for an eternal award, this is the opposite. I am the guardian for their eternal torment."

"It would be what humans refer to as Hell," Harry commented.

"In a sense, although they over simplify it," Lady Death commented to him as she leaned back on the edge of the throne. The blonde woman kept her eyes locked onto Harry, drinking in every inch of his form and she smiled, liking what she saw. "Although the same general idea that humans believe still applies whole heartedly."

Lady Death turned towards him and the smile widened across her face although there was a twinge of regret at some things, although not much.

"Death is much like life, there are good people out there and there are bad people who exist, some are far more wicked than you could even imagine," Lady Death said thoughtfully. "Some linger in the between as the higher ups judge them but there have been many who have been sent here immediately."

Lady Death bounced a ball off to the side in a bored voice as there was a shrieking scream within.

"Adolf, you're still such a bitch," Lady Death muttered as she bounced the ball back and forth, it colliding with the wall and it offering the pained echo of a soul. The woman kept smiling.

Lady Death paused as her fun was done.

"That horrific excuse for a Dark Lord was brought here some time ago," Lady Death commented to him as she recalled it vividly. "I would say that I've never seen anyone more arrogant than he was but I know better, I have seen plenty."

Harry would have to agree, Riddle had an annoyingly high opinion of himself. He took advantage of a world that was fractured and managed to cultivate a charade of fear because of the arrogance of most. Although, Amelia was causing that world to be reconstructed one bit at a time, there was still a lot of things that had to be done before everything was working as it should be.

"We have a few more things to discuss, Master," Lady Death told him as she stepped down the stone steps and closed the distance between the two of them. "I think that this location….whilst something that I have grown accustomed to, there is too much pain and suffering in this venue. I believe that it would be best for us to head towards a more accommodating venue."

Harry nodded towards Lady Death, he was intrigued about what she had up her sleeve and was ready to head there. His smile crossed his face as he took Lady Death on his arm.

"Lead the way," Harry told Lady Death.

Lady Death smiled, she had a lot of business to deal with him, unfortunately but there was going to be some pleasure on the menu as well. The woman kept a smile across her face as she thought about all of the things that she had to do.

Life and death, they were two things that Harry pondered as it pertained to the balance between both sides. There were many people who would have liked to have mastered Death but they had not taken the initiative to do so. Harry on the other hand was going to do everything he could to keep that mastery going in all forms.

So far there was one form that was mastered underneath his thumb. The green eyed wizard locked his eyes on Lady Death and kept smiling at her. The woman led him through the hall.

"I know one shouldn't enjoy their job too much but I cannot help it," Lady Death commented in a brisk tone of voice as she lead Harry forward. The emerald eyed wizard kept walking behind her. "There are instances where one just won't go to the afterlife at all, not without a fight. It's more of a hunt than anything else."

Harry could appreciate a good hunt as much as the next person but that could be chalked up to the warrior spirit in him. He always got the adrenaline pumping through his body after a good fight. It caused his spirit to get pumped up and the thought of it inspired him greatly. He recalled such a hunt that brought forth this quality in him. The hunt for Greyback about a week ago with Diana was something that spoke to him. He would always cherish the memories.

"There are those who will go to the ends of the Earth in an attempt to avoid being brought in," Lady Death said to Harry and he could agree, there were a lot of people who were stubborn to a fault. Death waited for no one and if they ran, she would chase them from the beginning of time to the end of it in order to bring them in. She continued to smile as she observed and examined one of the statues in the hallway.

"Some of these…must have been an eternity ago," Lady Death pondered as she gave the statue a look over. "But, we shouldn't get too hung up on the past, when we can create an amazing future."

"The future is so far ahead of us, I can just feel it," Harry remarked to her.

Lady Death kept her gaze on Harry, once again, she could tell that this was an amazing man. There was a few seconds where the woman kept her eyes on Harry as she studied him.

"I'm sure my other counterpart has told you about some of the responsibilities that you have, although there are not many," Lady Death said and he nodded in response. She was pleased, because the bells and whistles that came with the process of mastering Death, it was a laborious process to explain it all. Her face widened in an even deeper smile. "It's nothing much, just tracking down those who have tried to cheat their own mortality and everything along those lines."

"Right," Harry agreed, he understood that much.

"And there will be times where you will be able to travel between the realms of life and death, using the keys," Lady Death told him. "They are aptly named for they breach those barriers between the world of the living and the world of the dead."

Harry nodded again as he understood this statement, clear as day. He was not one of the smartest wizards in his generation for nothing. No scratch that, there was no one of the smartest about it. His grades spoke for themselves, there was no one who was even close to him.

"Peve really thought of everything when she created these artifacts," Harry commented to her.

Lady Death felt she had to honor a deal that she made long ago by not telling Harry the full origins of the keys. However, he would know soon enough, so she didn't feel that bad about withholding certain bits of information from him for now. It was his journey to take and she knew that her master would be up to it every single step of the way. He had gone so far but he had a long way yet to go.

"Mastery of Death is a skill that many would think would be the pinnacle of their achievement," Lady Death stated to her master and he nodded in agreement. "Yet, we both know the fact of the matter is that for someone to truly master Death, it must be just one goal in many, they must master parts of themselves."

"Agreed," Harry told her as he stepped towards her and they walked from the hall to a winding set of stairs. Torches adorned the wall as he watched her swaying ass in front of his face. It was an amazing sight to see. His green eyes remained fixated on her delicious and desirable rear.

"It's just one step for the rest of your life," Lady Death said and they both know what she meant. "It is but one piece of the puzzle on the road to your Ascension."

Harry nodded, he had a long way to go but by Mastering Death, he felt his body go through changes.

Although Death was not completely mastered. Or rather he only mastered one side of Death.

"And I have one final step before I head back home," Harry told her and his eyes met that of this darker, more sinful version of Death.

"You do, my lord," Lady Death agreed with him as she placed her arms around his neck.

She scanned his body with her eyes and treated herself with the visual buffet that it truly was. She had seen him up close and his muscles beneath his clothes was a treat although she only saw a flicker. Lady Death grabbed his shirt and placed her hands on his shoulders. She ran her hands up and down his body, rubbing his shoulders and reaching down underneath it. She used her hands to run up and down his muscular chest.

His shirt was off and she straddled him, as she pressed her lips upon his.

Harry felt the burning fire that was her lips but it tasted really amazing. Her skin was extremely soft and delicious, his hands working over her entire body. His hands palmed the underside of her breasts as he worked his hands over her.

She used her hands to work his belt off of her body. There was a second where she paused as a tease and then with a fluid motion, yanked it off.

Death rubbed herself up and down his shaft as it was underneath his shorts. She smiled widely as she kept her eyes on him. She milked every single inch of his body as she tightened her legs around his waist. Lady Death tilted him back onto the bed, ready for the fun that was about to start.

Lady Death wrapped her arms around Harry tightly, snuggling her head into his chest. She was put through the paces but naturally it was worth it. She tightened the grip she already had around him and slid her head to rest on his chest, with a tired but satisfied sigh escaping her lips.

"It was an amazing as I imagined," Lady Death concluded as she draped over her hips over his and placed her hands down onto his chest playfully. "I don't think…I never thought that anything would be amazing as that."

"And then you met me," Harry concluded as he looked into her eyes and Lady Death kept running her hands down his body, feeling the underside of his abs and she wanted even more of him.

"It's a pity to send you home but we cannot keep you here forever," Lady Death mused with a great deal of regret in her voice.

It did break the monotony of dragging the damned to her realm and smacking them around. At least that's what she concluded. Her eyes burned into his as she wrapped her legs around him and gave him another hungry kiss.

If she had to let him go back into the mortal realm, she was going to get the most out of him during his visit. She planted a series of hungry kissed on his mouth.

"You don't really want to let me go," Harry commented in amusement.

"No, but I must," she remarked in a breathy tone as she squeezed him from behind. "Farewell for now, we will meet again."

Harry nodded in agreement.

He faded back into the real world at those words and one more stolen kiss.

After blinking, Harry stood in the middle of the room of the castle where he had united the Hallows. He saw the clock before he left and he saw it when he returned. Perhaps five seconds, if that, had passed since he had popped into the other realms and then back to the castle. Time was an interesting thing, that much was for sure. That amused thought passed through his head as he took a second to get his facilities in order.

"So, did your trip go well?"

Peve's smile crossed her face as she saw Harry turn back up. The emerald eyed wizard gave a nod towards her and she smiled wider than before.

"…It was interesting," Harry remarked in a slightly dazed tone. Then again, traveling between realms was going to make him feel woozy the first couple of times.

He turned around, as he felt a metamorphosis go through his body.

'Wait, if you're back, then where did you go?' Daphne asked in a curious tone of voice.

'On a journey that was amazing,' Harry commented.

Diana, Kara, and Faora made their way into the room.

Kara was the first person to say something, her eyebrow raised. She kept her eyes fixed on Harry's face. "I saw a flash of light from inside the room is everything…."

"Yeah, everything is fine," Harry informed her and the blonde's smile crossed her face as she closed the gap between her and her soul mate.

Faora was the one who picked up on everything that happened. She fixed a searching gaze on her brother.

"So, it happened then, didn't it?" Faora asked Harry and there was no question what she was talking about.

"Yeah, I touched the artifacts together and I went on quite the journey," Harry confirmed as everything that happened rolled over his mind.

Faora placed her hands on her hips and then sat down on the edge of the bed. Rose and Lily joined the group.

'Jaime and I are flying up for the weekend….well technically many weeks if it's in the castle,' Karen informed Harry and the rest of the collective.

'That's great….because I'd only like to explain this one once if I can,' Harry said to the woman on the end of the bond.

Faora raised an eyebrow towards him, curiosity flickering through her eyes as she wondered what he had in mind.

"So, we're going to find out what you did with the Hallows and what it entailed to master Death?" Rose asked him. The twins were currently spending some time with the Greengrasses although they jumped on the conference call.

'So, did you master Death?' Amanda asked in a curious tone of voice.

'Yes, both of them,' Harry confirmed.

'Naturally, Death would have to be an extremely attractive female and Harry would have to….wait did you say both of them?' Nym said in confusion, caught completely off guard by this question.

'Yes, I said both of them,' Harry confirmed with a chuckle as he could tell that their amusement heightened.

'Details, I must have them,' Lucretia offered through the bond link.

'Details, you will get them,' Harry fired back, smiling, it was obvious to everyone who was on the call that he enjoyed winding them all up.

Anticipation built within them all as they were seconds away from finding out the changes that Harry went through.
