《If Voldemort Beat Harry.》16
Advertisement
Is this death? Or am I still drifting between being real and being gone? The whiteness clears away. Where am I? What is happening? If this is death it feels good, it feels calm, it feels soothing, it feels natural. I feel relaxed, as if I'm going to sleep after a long day.
Then it starts. Images speed past me, so fast that I can barely make out what they are. Then I see something clearly. A memory that I'd forgotten. My family stands together. Lucius, Narcissa, draco and me all of us close. Draco and I are young, maybe two? We chase each other round and round the room of the manor, the room where I was chained. We laugh. We smile. We are happy. Narcissa leans against Lucius, with her hand on his shoulder and they both smile watching us. "Bet you can't get me!" Draco cries. Narcissa and Lucius laugh, and for once I think of them as I once did. I think of them as family.
Then another memory flashes in front of me. Dumbledore. His arms are around me. I feel myself calming down. "Remember Amy," he says, "it is not our abilities that make us what we truly are. It is our choices. And I am proud of your choices. You are a amazing girl."
Then I see yet another memory. Harry stands in front of me. "It's ok. Don't cry. Dumbledore still loves you doesn't he? His death won't change you. Your still Amy dumbledore, my best friend." Harry says. I see myself say, "Really? Will we always be friends?" "Even when we're both gone."
Then I see the muggle smiling at me. I see us appirate. I see Ron die. Then his death triggers yet another memory. But this memory is small. I see us walking with Hermione and him telling me what he thought of dumbledore. And now I'm about to join Harry. And Ron with his bright red hair. And dumbledore with his kind smile. But I want to hold on. I want to see life. I want to make sure Voldemort is dead. "He's dead." Harry's voice says, "and I am proud of you." That wasn't a memory.

Then I see Draco. I realize what I died for. I died for him. Now I understand what true love is. And I love my twin brother, Draco Malfoy. Now I also realize something else. I know who I am. Amy is not Amy dumbledore or Amy Malfoy. She is a mixture of both. She is never one. I smile knowing that I am about to see my friends. I smile, shut my eyes and part. I have left my body. Amy is dead.

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)

I was once a bad person who died after misfortune and found myself in another world, with a seemingly.. unusual body. I don't have arms and just legs, I don't have ears but I can hear using those two long antennas and most importantly, I can fly. It seems that I don't have a body of a human... So.. what's the point of continuing living with such a disgusting and terrible form? No... Wait.. it seems I have an ability, shapeshifting! That's means I can still go back into human forms, don't I? But everything has consequences, so it was also true with this ability. I should be able to defeat the form I want to mimic first before I can use them. So, will I be able to continue to live in this another world, or will I just die as well?
