This idea I have actually been mulling over for 3 weeks making sure of minor details before I wrote it down. This is a Harry Potter fic and will include many pairings and will be rated M for hardcore scenes and lemons. There will be warnings at the beginnings of those chapters to allow people to skip the sections if they are at risk of flash backs and such.

This idea, though inspired by numerous fics, is purely my own and I apologize if it seems similar to another.

I hope you enjoy the story.

Chapter 1

It was the year 1945 and Lucius Malfoy had recently graduated from Hogwarts. Currently he was attending a special ball hosted by the court of the demon community. Apparently there was going to be a big announcement and just about every pureblood wizard family had been invited. In this day and age it was common for a pureblood family to carry the blood of a dark creature. The Malfoy's themselves were actually descendents of draklings, a more commonly known medium sized winged serpents that were similar to dragons. Lucius was proud of his heritage and made no attempt to hide the shiny silver markings on his neck that showed his inheritance.

Currently Lucius was milling about a group of purebloods in the great ballroom. Glancing about he recognized a few faces in the crowd. Crabbe, Goyle, Macnair, Snape, the Lestrange trio and Nott before he caught sight of his best friend Tom Riddle. He couldn't help but smile as Riddle just charmed his way through a group of women before approaching him. "Luciusss how good it is to ssee you. Have you been ssettling in as Lord Malfoy," Riddle asked him with a slight smirk.

Sighing, he tried not to sneer at his friend, "No I'm not. Despite how easily it is to act the part I still would have preferred a job with the Unspeakables. Any idea what the announcement is going to be Riddle?" Riddle shook his head no before starting up a light conversation. After awhile an older demon called the Viscount that was part of the court, made his way to the stage at the front of the room. Clearing and pointing a wand at his throat he spoke to the joined purebloods. "Good Evening and welcome to our Annual Ball. Though usually we hold this ball closer to Yule we have an important announcement," The man smiled to the crowd and motioned for a group to fetch something.

"This year, for the first time in decades, the royal family was blessed with a gift. The gift was that of a child, for the first time to ever be conceived without magic involved," at this the groups of wizards began to whisper in excitement, "As only a select few know, when an Heir is born, the court is entrusted with a special task and must hold a ball to reveal the Heir's mate and protector, the two wizards that are to protect them for the rest of their life." The Viscount paused as several men carried trays of wine glasses to the stage, filled with a blue liquid.

"Here in front of you is a liquid tuned to the Heir's magic. When consumed fate will choose the Mate and Protector and magically mark them with a silver mark on their hand. I now ask everyone in this hall to retrieve a glass," The man said before people lined up to pick up a glass and then returning to the crowd. Once everyone had a glass the man signaled for everyone to drink. Silence reigned in the room as everyone drank the liquid and waited for something to happen. It didn't take too long when someone screamed in pain before falling to their knees, a red light enveloping them.

Everyone looked towards the light and noticed that it was none other than Tom Riddle that was kneeling trying to control his breathing. Riddle glanced about before looked down at his right arm that seemed to be tingling. A silver tattoo was wrapped about his engagement finger before trailing over the back of his hand and wrapping around his wrist. A small smile graced his features before he spoke up, "I..I'm the Mate.." Within Moments another light went off and this time Lucius had collapsed. Everyone expected him to be the protector but he looked up in confusion when he had the same mark as Tom. "M..mate? But I thought there is only supposed to be one," Lucius said before the hall lit up with 8 more lights.

Everyone was confused as all the chosen people approached the stage. Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy and Tom Riddle stood together with Mate tattoos while Crabbe, Goyle, Macnair, Nott, Rudolph Lestrange, Rabastian Lestrange and Bellatrix Lestrange stood together with protector tattoos. Unlike the Mate, the Protector tattoos simply wrapped around the wrist. "Well this is an amazing occurrence. Only once before has more than 2 people been Chosen and that was to the late King Reuben. It is said that the more powerful the Heir the more protectors and mates chosen," the Viscount spoke again, beaming with happiness.

Snape, Malfoy and Riddle seemed to be beaming with joy at the thought of having a chosen mate, their tattoos shimmering in excitement. Viscount smiled, "I dare say this is a sign of change, hopefully for the better. Now without further ado let us introduce our Heir and Prince Zi.." The Viscount was cut off as someone burst into the ballroom covered in blood. The man was gripping his side and looked like he had been through hell. "S..sir Viscount...The Prince...he's been T..taken..,"The man gasped out before collapsing from blood loss. The hall was in a panic as the Viscount lead the mates and protectors to the prince's room.

It didn't take long for the group to reach the young prince's rooms and the sight they found was a shocker. The room was torn apart, the prince's crib was demolished into pieces. Several guards lay dead on the ground, covered in wounds. The mates couldn't help but let out a petulant whine of remorse as they weren't sure if their mate was dead or what as their tattoos dulled to a pale gray.

~~Kidnap~~

A blue robed figure chuckled to himself in a dark room. A crystallized orb floated nearby with what looked to be an infant inside of it, seemingly frozen in time. The man drifted closer to the orb with a grin. Stroking the orb in thought he couldn't help but think to himself. "With you out of the way I shall have no trouble becoming the most powerful wizard. Maybe I'll find a place for you in the future, until then sleep dear prince..."
