Harry couldn’t help but gulp, the girl in front of him was so pale that it hurt, the girl had tired eyes and eyelids around them, she was wearing dark robes and she was carrying a scythe, and even if she looked to be weaker than him, he couldn’t deny the power that was coming from her.

This was interesting, it’s been so long since the last time Harry has felt intimidated by the strength of others, and yet, instead of running away, he couldn’t help but smirk and bow respectfully at the female figure in front of him.

“Miss Death…It’s an honor to finally speak directly with you,” Harry said in the most courteous tone.

“Oh, you're quite the gentleman, don’t you?” She asked before chuckling.

Her laughter was creepy but Harry couldn’t bring himself to be honest with the entity, not after she promised something amazing before he came here, the last thing he wanted was to enrage her and make her regret her proposal.

“Not only have you been proven to be a valuable asset. Only the Voldemort from your universe and this one managed to break the natural order of existence and become kind of immortal,” she said in a cold tone. “He needed to be taken care of, an anomaly like that shouldn’t exist but even in the beauty of perfection, things become imperfect with time,” she said with a serious tone.

Harry couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, he was also an anomaly, or at least he felt he was too powerful to exist.

“You did amazing dear, you killed the bug in the system, entertained me, and also made me laugh and you know what that means, right?” She asked not expecting an answer.

Harry could only nod as calmly as possible, but his smile was hard to hide.

“I can sense that you’re eager to fulfill your wish…However, I can also sense some hesitation,” the female entity said with a serious tone.

Harry’s smile disappeared, and he couldn’t help but gasp, he wanted to refute what the entity was trying to imply, but for some reason, he couldn’t find the strength or the right words to do it.

“I don’t know if you remember the deal, Harry, after all, it happened so fast that I’m sure you forgot the talk we had right before you were materialized to this universe,” Death said with a curious expression.

“Yes, I remember you told me that—” Harry was suddenly stopped.

“No, not that part, the thing I told you right before you appeared here,” the entity couldn’t help but say with a grin.

Harry was trying to think but no matter how much effort he put into it, he couldn’t find anything in his memory that could remind him of the moments before he landed in this universe.

“I give up,” Harry said with an embarrassed tone.

“Oh, don’t worry it’s my fault actually, that’s something I should’ve told you when we had our main conversation,” she sighed disappointed in herself. “Before you disappeared I promised you that once you take care of this universe’s Voldemort…I was going to grant you a wish, you can wish for anything…ANYTHING,” she said with a grin on her face.

Harry couldn’t believe what he was hearing, a wish, he could wish for anything, it sounded too good to be true.

“Can I even ask for immortality?” Asked Harry with a curious tone.

He wanted to know the limits of this proposal, he was a bit concerned that Death might snap at him and call him an idiot or something along the lines for trying to do exactly what made Death get involved to take care of Voldemort but instead, he was taken aback by her laughter.

“Let’s be honest Harry, you’re not going to ask for that and you know it,” the female figure said before chuckling again.

Harry wanted to refute her words, however, he couldn’t deny that he was just playing around. There’s nothing Harry would hate the most than being immortal, passing away means that he’s going to meet all the people who died just so he could live like his parents, so, he doesn't care when he dies, dying is not a tragedy for him, it’s just a conclusion for the incredible life he has lived.

“I’m sorry I just wanted to test the waters and see the extent of the wish…” Harry said with an embarrassed tone.

“It’s alright, and to answer your question, yes…You can ask for immortality,” Death surprised him now.

“What? But didn’t you just say that Voldemort being immortal was an anomaly? A bug in the system?” Harry questioned with a shocked tone.

“Yes, I said that and I stand by that…However, immortality can be given by me and other entities, Gods can grant you that too, however, the problem comes when humans try to force nature and the universe to bend to them, forcing yourself to be immortal is something that’s not allowed,” Death had now a serious tone.

Harry couldn’t help but gulp, it’s clear that she took her job and rules very seriously. Harry decided to remain in silence for a few moments as he thought about what he was going to ask for, there were many ideas in his head, but before he could do or say something, he couldn’t help but look at his recently adopted family.

He had a wish that was going to completely wipe him from this universe, they’re not going to see him once again which is going to be horrible, he indeed wanted to meet his real parents, however, this universe’s James and Lily Potter weren’t that bad, in fact Harry was amazed by how well they got along.

“You see…I wanted to restart my life, I wanted to be a baby once again in a world where Voldemort never existed, I wanted to have a normal life with my parents, as normal as you can when you come from a magical family of course,” Harry couldn’t help but say with a serious tone.

“…But?” Death questioned him with a raised brow.

“I don’t want to leave these people behind me, I know that you’re probably going to modify the memories of the world to make it seem like I never existed but…I don’t know, it feels wrong to leave them behind,” Harry couldn’t help but say with a concerned expression.

The figure remained in silence for a few moments, she was clearly considering everything Harry had told her which was something he appreciated, very few people cared enough about him to listen to his opinions on important matters.

“I think I understand what you’re saying, so, I have a proposition for you,” Death said with a smirk.

It was quite terrifying, however, Harry didn’t have the guts to tell the figure in front of him what he thought about it, he knew how sensitive women are with their looks, he still regrets that time when he told Ginny that she looked like a clown after she put makeup when he visited the Weasleys in the summer between his first and second year.

“Yes?” Harry tried to get more information from her.

“You’re going to stay here just like you wanted Harry, I like you and you did something amazing for me, you entertained me, so, I'm allowing you to stay here, and the moment you die…” Harry couldn’t help but gulp. “You can make your wish come true!” Her words made his eyes open wide.

He didn’t have to be told twice before he violently nodded, and so, his new life in this universe started.
