Chapter 216: I Was Chosen Again...

Harry was starting to put the pieces together in his head.

Early on, during his original life, he became the owner of the three Hallows.

First, the cloak was given to him as a Christmas present, then... the Stone of Resurrection was left behind by Dumbledore after his death and he finally got his hands on the Elder Wand when he defeated Voldemort during the battle at Hogwarts.

Shortly after, he destroyed the wand, thinking it was too dangerous to keep. Something he would come to regret later when the Dark Lord made his return.

But what mattered was that, at that moment, he must have become the Master of Death, or at least a candidate... even if he didn't know it.

Later in life, he did learn that his magical capacity was much higher than any normal person.

He was the only one capable of using the 'Seven Arkstone Array' they had created. No one else in his group could channel that tremendous amount of energy through their bodies without dying in the process.

Even Neville, who was at this point, one of the most powerful wizards alive, could only withstand a three-stone version that Hermione modified for him.

Luna always told him that she felt there was something different about him... something that no one else had.

He attributed these oddities to being the 'Boy Who Lived', the 'Chosen One' and all that... he never gave it much thought. He had been an odd one during his entire life after all.

But perhaps, some of these anomalies were caused by the Hallows after all.

He had been experiencing some of the effects, but they only started to show their true potential the moment he died.

But he didn't have a clue about why... not for now at least.

'The only thing I can do now is continue with my initial plans. If there is something that this Death wants from me... we'll see about that.'

"So..." Luna got closer to Harry and gave him an intense look. "Does this mean I have to start calling Harry as Master?"

"Please don't..." If his sister heard Luna addressing him like that, she was going to draw the wrong conclusions.

Harry spent the remainder of the Christmas break at the castle.

At least he now had a motive for his recent boost in power.

He made good use of his time and worked as much as he could on fine-tuning his magic control.

It appears that the failed ritual also had the unintended effect of accelerating his magical maturity.

Usually, wizards and witches had to wait until their fifteenth or sixteenth birthday for that.

But at the age of thirteen, his body had already reached this point.

This was truly a blessing. With his magic now completely stable, he will be able to fight at his full potential without fear of suffering some backlash.

A.N- I wanted to clarify something about what happened in this Chapter. Yes, there are many other versions of Harry Potter in the multiverse who have also acquired all three Hallows, like Canon Harry for example. The idea is that among all those different versions of Harry out there. The MC Harry is the first one who dies after becoming a candidate for Master of Death.

There could be other Harrys who died before him but did so before collecting all three Hallows and others who collected all three Hallows but lived a much longer life.

So, among all the candidates, the MC was the first one to fulfill all the conditions and thus, was the one chosen.

At least, that is the idea here. I hope that makes it more clear.-
