Without his knowledge, the Cloak of Invisibility and the Resurrection Ring appeared on his body and hand. His voice took on an unnerving tone, echoing throughout the room, causing everyone there to shiver. The Cloak blackened his face and his form thinned, painfully so. He grew several feet, towering over everyone in the room. The Ring shone like a reflective ruby, only the light didn't touch it. "Tom Marvolo Riddle, you will forever be damned to wander my domain in the void. Forever searching for what you will never find," the scraping voice said, pointing the Elder Wand at the frightened Dark Lord. And with a flick the wraith flew before the Veil. "You sought to flee from me, now you will forever fear that you will never die. You will forever ache to end what you will now incur. Tom Marvolo Riddle, welcome to Hell."
The being laughed a frightening laugh, the kind that woke you up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and fearing that the world had ended. The wraith screamed and begged, fighting with every bit of will it had. But no one ran from death, and soon enough it was gone. To forever float in the void beyond the Veil.
"Um, Harry?" Sirius asked tentatively. Hoping this wasn't a permanent thing.
"Harry James Potter is fine. He will return momentarily. First, I must finish here," the being that was once Harry said, looking around the room. He was a deity of immense power, and he knew that if he left these fools to realize what the boy held they would never let him be. That could not happen, he might need the child later. So, he raised his wand and empty hand to the roof and a cloud of mist drifted down from the ceiling. It covered the whole room and the desire to run and hide was enormous. Outside it shrouded the entire earth. People would wake up in the morning not remembering the Hallows. The tale of the Three Brothers would not be taken seriously. Research would stop, and an old man would feel like he had wasted his entire life searching for fool's gold.
One by one the people in the room drifted away dazed and confused. They didn't know what they were doing in the Death Room. They would go home and sleep, never remembering what just happened. They would wonder in the morning what happened to the horcrux but would soon forget that as well.
Soon enough, only Malfoy, Bones and Black were there. Amelia was shaking her head, the night fuzzy, but there. Lucius was standing asleep, he would remember coming to get the prophecy for his master, but he would not remember after the Unspeakables captured him. He was still wrapped in chains, and he would be arrested for criminal trespass, and murder of the guard, when Bones was done here.
"Now what?" Sirius asked as politely as he could. He remembered everything. He wouldn't find out until later that he was the only one.
"Now I will return to my domain and you will live the rest of your life," Death answered succinctly. Harry's body started shrinking and filling out.
"And Harry? Will he remember?"
"No, and you would do well not to mention this to him. He will only remember that he was the one to throw Tom Marvolo Riddle into the Veil. That is all you will tell him."
"Yup, yup, sure, no problem," the dogman answered quickly.
Without further ado the deity was gone, and so were the Cloak, Ring and Wand. They would be used again, when needed, but only Harry could call them, and he wouldn't even know he was. The poor boy was now a puppet to Death here on earth. Not that the deity would abuse it, but if needed the champion would be called. When he passed, the Hallows would appear again and another quest would be mounted to find them. Ah the wonders of myths, causing the adventurous to forever seek what as mostly unattainable.
Harry slumped a moment, shook his head and smiled that carefree smile of his. "Well, that's done. I'm knackered. Ready to go home?" he asked his dazed godfather. The crew in his head were celebrating a job well done. All but Data, he knew but was unsure if he should say anything. He'd have to watch and see if there were any side effects.
"Yeah, sure, I could use a drink," the man answered.
"Oh, I think a whole bottle is in order," Bones said shakenly. She took hold of Lucius, woke him up and dragged him away. The other two followed.
"Quite a show, huh?" the teen asked, bouncing along after Sirius. He was stoked, he had vanquished Voldy from the world, and they wouldn't even know. There would be no hero worshipping and he could live his life knowing the man was gone. He had no doubt that the Unspeakables would keep this silent, and Bones had no need to search anymore, so she'd be happy. Or so he thought. He did wonder why the two adults were so shaken. It's not like he was Death or anything.
"Oh, Harry, you have no idea how right you are," the man answered, thinking this was one night that would keep him awake for years. And he couldn't even tell anyone about it.
