    I know in the prophecy it states that Harry will be Voldemorts equal. However, we all know Harry is very much not Voldemorts equal unless you give him years of training, start the whole series AU, or give Harry blocked magical powers or some shit.

    So i was thinking of some way that could make them in a way equals, and Voldemorts Horcrux's came to mind. The Horcrux is susposed to bind the soul to earth right? So what if somehow When casting the AK on Harry Voldemort imprinted or merged souls somehow with Harry, suddenly giving Harry some different abilities like Parseltongue, or you can have them share animagus or something too.

    So bottom line is neither of them know it yet, but the Horcrux's work for both Voldemort AND Harry, since they're now tied to both of their souls.


    Could make for an interesting fic. Harry comes back from the dead and Voldemort has no idea. Or perhaps even when he comes abck he comes back darker and diferent becuase he had to use even more of Voldemort's soul to come back.

    I dunno just a random idea i had.

    Part of Voldemort's soul did reside in Harry--that's how he survived the second AK Voldemort sent at him.

    They weren't equals magically; I think that the prophecy refers to them as equal forces, things that would equal each other out, and Harry definitely equaled the hate of Voldemort with his own LURVingness.

    Harry had the ultimate weapon of mass destruction at his side: Ginny's face.

    Ahem. It's actually kind of an intriguing idea, but then how could either of the two win out in the end? I guess it's possible that you could say Harry would have greater claim to the Horcruxes, what with the fact that Voldemort has the equivalent amount of his soul left as Harry does and Harry has his own complete soul.

    I don't know. I just don't see any sort of lengthy fic coming out of this.

    I think they were more ontological equals than magical equals.

    Anyway, the Harry-steals-Voldemort's-knowledge-and-skills story line has been done to death.

    An amusing idea though would be Harry gaining a few more skills each time Voldemort "killed" him, like he gained parsletongue the first time. Once Harry realises this, his mission becomes attempting to jump in front of as many of Voldemort's killing curses as possible, gaining a few more skills each time, until he can take on Voldemort for himself.

    Taure, I would so read that. But it would have to be humor because it would fail as anything serious. Someone should write that.

    You can always use the removal of Voldemort's horcrux to power up Harry in post-canon setting.

    Consumption of Voldemort's horcruxes to create a more powerful Harry? An interesting concept.

    I didnt mean for it to be the whole plot of the fic. Just an idea to incorporate. I do lots of those it seems.

    One of them could still win out in the end becuase eventually there are no horcrux's left..... And who ever dies after that dies for good.

    example: Voldemort kills Harry, Harry comes back without anyone knowing and hunts down remaining Horcrux's. Voldemort never knows his shits all gone. Harry kills Voldemort- Voldemort stays dead.

    Dont confuse it with the idea that they are the same soul now so they are both tied to each others death. Maybe it's just enough "borrowed" soul to tie Harry down from leaving.


    And Tuare- This wasn't in any way susposed to be a Harry gains Voldemorts skills fic. Parseltounge he already has, and i figured since animagus form depends on the soul or deapest personality traits (i read so fuch fanon i don't know anymore whats real lol) that Harry sharing Voldemorts animagus could represent their shared same spiritual base form. Still the same Harry as always, changes nothing about him. What anyone does with the idea to warp Harry is completely up to them, not a requirement of this idea.
