"Are you bloody kidding me?!"

"I'm sorry, but there is no other choice. You need to marry by the end of the month or the Wizengamot will choose a husband for you." Kingsley said. "You've had three years, Thea. It's time you start taking things seriously. You've done nothing to benefit our world since the war has ended."

"I've done nothing? I helped rebuild Hogwarts, I completed my Newts along with gaining two masteries in Runes and Healing on top of straightening out the Potter family vaults which would have been fine from the start if Dumbledore hadn't hid them from me or bothered to upkeep them himself!" Along with the others he didn't know about.

"Dumbledore should not have had to inform you-"

"As a magical guardian which he made himself into by your very laws, he did!"

"I understand you're upset bu-"

"Upset! I'm bloody pissed! Tell me, Minister, who exactly from the Order has offered their services as my husband?" I lean back in my chair glaring at him over my false glasses. I hadn't needed glasses since I had healed my eyes with a ritual to repair the damage and enhance my vision 2 years ago. Of course, I had performed some other enhancement rituals as well to correct the rest of the damage my life with the Dursley's, at Hogwarts and the war had caused. I had assimilated Tom's knowledge from his hocrux when he'd hit me with the Avada and found myself in limbo. I don't think myself or Dumbles knew that would happen but happen it did. My hand had reached out when i saw his disfigured body laying there and too late did Dumbass decide to say anything, as usual.

"Ronal-"

"Never going to happen."

"Charlie"

"Don't have the right equipment for that one." I smirked.

"Dedalus"

"Diggle, the man who is old enough to be my grandfather." I glared at him, stating the fact.

"George"

"You just made that up! He just got engaged, I even helped him pick the ring."

"Myself" I sat silent looking at him with a grimace. "Would it be so bad, Thea? You must know that I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. Yes, I'm old enough to be your father but there are far larger age gaps between couples and with magic we age slower then muggles, regardless."

"I need to go." 'Is he really serious? Marry him?'

"Thea, you can't run from this you need to make a choice otherwise you may be married to those who escaped a sentence to Azkaban!"

"Like you said I still have until the end of the month." I rushed out and made my way to the floos.

3 Weeks Later

I read through another of the grimoires seeking something more sure then simply hoping I could get the veil to work and send both me and the elves to the closest thing to an even semi-hospitable world. The veil might act as a portal to another world when the runes are activated correctly but otherwise it simply tore the soul from the body and dumped the body in a random world. The veil had damage done to at least a couple of the major rune schemes though which meant I couldn't be positive about what type of world we would end up in. My elves were all I had left after Andromeda's depression and rage had led to her magic violently bursting from her when she learned of Tonks death; the blast had killed both her and Teddy.

I had gone to Gringott's and met with my account manager before returning to Hogwarts for 6th year and learned that the Tri-wizard tournament had effectively emancipated me the moment I performed in the first task. They'd immediately performed a lineage test revealing I was heir to the Potter, Black, and Peverell lines as well as heir apparent for the Slytherin line. Knowing my mom was a Slytherin and that it made us related to Riddle, no matter the distance, really was disturbing. I claimed my titles and emptied all but the gold in the Potter family vaults into undetectable expanded trunks just in case someone could find out, after all as far as anyone knew I was only a Potter. It was good that I had done so because now I had to get out of here someway. My trip there after the war had led to my removal of all but the minimum needed to maintain keeping the Potter family vault open.

It was a day or two after my meeting with Kingsley that I found what I needed. A grimoire written by Ignotus Peverell had a ritual that could be used to call forth Death himself. It was strongly recommended to have something to offer otherwise all that would be found was death. Obviously. Crap, now I sound like Snape. Though with the deathly hollows, Death may just be willing to bargain.

I prepared what would be needed while Kreacher began preparations for the ritual, Dobby purchased anything we'd need, and Winky made sure I ate and cleaned up. Fortunately we had everything that was needed and the entire thing was rather simple or maybe that was just my knowledge of runes that made it that way. Either way it was ready the next day and I ordered the elves into the next room just in case. The moment they were out I triple checked that everything was set, lit the candles and began the chant as I took a silver dagger and sliced across my hand.

Mors occurret

Et nunc beatos vos

Hoc opus hora

Vuluntairie sacrificabo dare

An commutatio sit facta est

Mors es

Advena sum et peregrinus

Si non sum in occursum tuum demanda

Suscipe me aeternum

Mors occurret

Hoc hora

Mors nunc veni

Translation:

Come forward Death

I call you now

This hour of need

An offering to give

An exchange to be made

You are Death

I am Living

Should I not meet your demand

Take me eternal

Come forward Death

For this is my hour

Death come now

I repeated the chant again and again until I felt the gust of wind and there he stood before me.

Elsewhere In Another World

"Mina...to." She gasped as her hand reached out to her husband's silhouette. She didn't want this. She had just given birth to their son and then everything had gone to shit. The masked man had killed her guards and medic-nins, broken her seal releasing the nine-tailed fox who was now rampaging over Konoha, and even worse he had taken her son. She knew she was bleeding heavily as her medic-nin had been killed before she could finish healing her from the hard birth of her Naruto. She followed after her husband only stopping once he had reclaimed their son from the man. The fox's rampage continued and she had seen the look in his eye. Minato wasn't thinking of their son or her. No, the only thing on his mind was Konoha. She hadn't realized it before now but for Minato the village had come first and always would even now that they had made a family. Maybe it was that he had never had one? Maybe it was because of his Will of Fire? Or maybe it was just pure nepotism. Either way she knew what he was going to do.

She had rushed to chain down the fox to give Naruto a chance to live after he had rushed into the battlefield with her newborn son in hand. She had called to him trying to draw his attention away from Naruto and onto her but he was set and now she couldn't let her chains loosen or the fox would be able to get to her baby. It hadn't mattered anyway her strength had waned still tired from the birth, still slowly bleeding out from the strain. Minato had called forth the Shinigami and made a deal to seal the Kitsune no Yoko. She could only plead that someone anyone would protect her baby boy. That someone would love him as much as she did and give him a good life. She pleaded hoping the Shinigami would hear her words over her husband's. The fox managed to free a claw and she knew what she had to do. She didn't know if her husband would but either way she will.

So she did as any mother should. She protected her child.

A/N: I've been considering Iruka, Kakashi, Neji, or Haku even Zabuza (if he survives) for the pairing. I'm not sure if I want to do the multi or not. Well, I'll leave it up to you guys to decide! Pairings won't come in just yet and I also want to do something other than NaruHina or NaruSaku. Any ideas? I'm leaning towards either Ino or Hana personally but I won't mind input.
