The Angel of Death

Harry's eyes narrowed. "Then if I am descended from the light, how can I be grey?"

Azrael smiled broadly. "That is another good question and one that your mother asked as well. The lines that sprang from me have always fought against the darkness but they usually did it in a more practical way. You see I am an oddity amongst the other angels even though I obediently serve the Creator. I was tested and proven to be incorruptible and therefore was given a special position and special powers to go along with it."

"And that is?"

"I am the Angel of Death."

"Then how is it that you appear normal to me and not some skeletal figure? And how did you touch us without causing our deaths or are we dead?"

"Ah, that's easy. My bloodline see me as who I truly am not the 'Grim Reaper' of legend. However, someone not in my family will definitely see the reaper. As far as the other, as I said earlier, no one of my bloodline need fear my touch or me."

"So, am I to assume that I have a special connection with death?"

Azrael laughed "Yes, you are the last of my lines. You alone have a substantial connection to me."

"Then the stories of the Deathly Hallows are true? By uniting then, I become the Master of Death?"

Azrael chuckled again. "In a manner of speaking. If you think it will control me then you are wrong for no man will ever have the power to control me as I only serve the Creator. The Hallows were three magical artifacts I gave to my children to help them in their fight against the darkness. The Master of Death title would actually refer to the reuniting of the three objects by one man of Peverell blood as only a member of my bloodline can truly command them."

"If you look at it in a different way, by uniting them you would become the Lord or Master of House Peverell. Before taking the name Peverell, my house was known as the house of death so you would be the Lord or Master of the House of Death. Sadly, over time my family lines have finally succumbed to the battle against the darkness until only one member was left. So where you are concerned, the Hallows act as a family signet ring that says you are the only living Lord of the family."

"I don't understand."

"And that is why you are here. You will learn to control the Hallows and use them to help you reestablish our family. Somewhere along the line, you will learn of your titles and how to use them. It will be up to you, Harry James Potter, to continue my bloodline. I know the rumors about the Hallows but that is mainly man's arrogance speaking. No one, not even me has power over death. Yes, man can kill each other but true death only occurs when the Creator judges it so."

"The other grey families, aren't they descended from you?"

"No, many of those families became disillusioned with the light side's righteous view and saw many of the light doing some of the same things the dark was doing but in the name of purifying the world. While the dark will use anyone they can, the light's overzealousness at not trusting anyone with the same ideals as them has led to their isolation and loss of the ability to be effective in the fight against the darkness. If you get anything from our conversation Harry, it's that the light is just as untrustworthy as the dark."

"They have tried to remain so pure that the darkness has been allowed to gain more ground than should be possible. It will be up to you to reunite the grey families and fight both sides if you want your world to get better. From what I have seen, you are well on your way to doing this and with a little more training, you will be able to accomplish this. You made an excellent choice in the future Lady Potter and it is a good start but may not be enough."

Harry looked at him dumbfounded and asked "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is it is time to begin your true education." He stood and motioned for Harry to follow him.

"What about Dobby?"

"Let him rest and heal for now. He will rejoin you soon."

Harry stepped over to Dobby and placed his hand on Dobby's forehead. He whispered "Get better my friend. I feel I will need you soon."
