    Summary

    Harry gets his magical inheritance as a Necromancer on his 16th birthday, the first in centuries. Unsure of his future or even who to trust after the Light shuns him, Harry turns to the Dark, the only other side that can assist him in seeking his revenge. However, it's all just temporary. It's just an alliance until his goals are met and then that's it. Just temporary...right?
    Slight Dumbledore and some Order member bashing. Sane Voldemort but Horcruxes do exist. A Harry/Voldemort but incredibly slow-burn. Not really graphic in deaths at least not yet. If that changes the rating will change.

    Summary

    It was a long shot—an impossibly long shot—but it was all he had.

    Harry lunged for the photo, his bloodied nose dripping crimson onto the paper as he scrambled for something to write with. But Vernon had locked away all of Harry’s things to prevent him from contacting anyone. In desperation, Harry smeared his blood across the photo with trembling fingers, scrawling three words:

    Please help me.

    He signed it with a shaky, almost illegible ‘Harry’ before stumbling to Hedwig’s cage. He flung the door open and shoved the photo into her talons, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. Vernon’s angry bellows grew louder as he forced the door open, splinters of wood flying into the room.

    “T-take it to Professor Snape!” Harry rasped, barely able to speak through the panic and exhaustion.

    Hedwig let out a distressed hoot as Harry squeezed her through the narrow bars of the window. He turned just as Vernon burst into the room, his face purple with fury, his breathing ragged.

    Summary

    Then he gets the bad news: he’s been accidentally expelled from Hogwarts, and he needs to be sorted again. Everyone is confident that he’ll go straight back to Gryffindor, but with what he's been learning, Harry’s not so sure.

    Summary

    "how terrible is it to love something that death can touch. oh, but how beautiful it is to know that death is dying to touch what you love."

    ---

    "Tell me the truth, Potter!" Umbridge screeched, "Tell me where Albus Dumbledore is!"

    Harry’s head lolled forward as the curse lifted for a moment, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe.

    "Go… to… hell," he rasped, defiance burning in his emerald gaze.

    Her face twisted in rage, and she raised her wand again.

    "CRUCIO! "

    The curse slammed into him again.

    ---

    Harry Potter dies. Harry Potter finds himself in the afterlife. Harry Potter finds himself facing Death in the face.

    Death has his face.

    Death tells Harry he wasn't meant to die, and gives Harry three propositions: go back to life, wait in limbo until battle or go back to the 1940s, and complete the impossible, with the help of his mother and father.

    Death tells Harry everyone dies, but not everyone lives.

    And Harry...

    Harry finds himself with a mission.

    Harry will make sure Tom Riddle gets to live his life, for once.
