Chapter 1

While possessing the Potter boy, Voldemort learns the truth. One who he thought dead was still very much alive.

Deep inside Potters subconscious Voldemort noticed blocks. He knew of them from his dream sharing but hadn't thought much of it till now. The boy's mind was familiar, not just from his meddling this year but like he knew it personally. The child's struggles grew weaker soon Voldemort will be done with the brat, yet the unknown. The fact he recognized the child's mind when he should not, would not leave him.

Looking more into it, he noticed the boy had been obliviated. More than once by the looks of it and they went as far as when he was a baby. Now, why would Dumbledore (who else would it be?) mess with an infant's mind? Any kind of mind magic on a child is dangerous their brains are too young and unsettled to handle such an invasion.

A total mind wipe, the boy had his mind wiped at one point, but it showed signs of leaking. The memories would have seemed like dreams they would have shown themselves to him in his dreams. What did the hell happen?

Mind wipes don't work on wizards, unlike a muggle their magic wouldn't allow for such in depth tampering. Magic is the reason for being able to survive what could kill lesser men. It's the reason Voldemort is alive today and not one of the countless nameless orphans who died during the Blitz.

Voldemort unlocked one of the blocks.

A young Harry Potter second year since that idiot Lockhart was there. (He was in seclusion not living under a rock) Goes to prove Dumbledore is going senile if he considers that a candidate for the DADA position. If the bastard had just chosen him he wouldn't have to deal with such incompetence. 'Harry Potter so glad to have you here this evening.' The idiot had requested him for this detention which had been his fault. Really why does he keep bothering me? 'We are going to have a lot of fun the two of us tonight. You still need to be punished this is your detention after all.' Why block a detention? This made no sense.

The man was a pedophile he had tried to rape him. Potter nearly killed him. That look in his eyes as his magic sucked the man's life energy out of him. It was the same as someone he had once known. Dumbledore that old fool would allow a man he knew was a pedophile to teach in his school. He blocked the memory he knew what tastes the man had and he allowed it.

The man couldn't fall lower in his eyes. The child deserves to know the truth. Knowing he couldn't stay for too long he opened every block he came in contact with. He found it the wipe. The block was nearly all the way open all it needed was a little push.

'You'll never get away with this Dumbledore. Tom will kill you and all your little chickens.' Green eyes filled with disgust and loathing. Tom couldn't breathe, this couldn't be true, it couldn't be real. He had to know.

'Yes, I believe he will try though we both know you are his only weakness.'

'You are a fool to believe that Dumbledore. I am no weakness least of all my brothers. Then again your brother hates you.' Sneered Xander. 'So it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand.'

Tom could not believe it Xander, his Xander, his baby brother was still alive. His little brother was alive. Potter was his brother. How could he not see it before? They weren't identical, but they still looked enough alike... How could he not tell?

Potter was smaller (how HE hated that word) Xander never needed glasses, but the eyes those eyes that made him hesitate that night it wasn't even the prophecy that made him attack the Potters that night. He had wanted revenge, James Potter, and Frank Longbottom had killed his brother just because he was his brother. He still remembered that night as vivid as it was as it was seared into his mind he could never forget. The child's magic had called to his own he disregarded it too focused on his own revenge. he could have killed his brother.

Xander was neutral always had been. Those bastards brought him into it.

He should have seen the signs the child was brilliant though he hid it well. To take down a fully grown mountain troll only Xander could have pulled that off with a Wingardium Leviosa.

The child was so much like Xander how could he not have seen it till now. Was he that blind? So driven by revenge that...

He needed to make amends Harry should know the truth.

All this time Xander had been alive as Harry Potter. Leaving Potters mind Voldemort let himself be seen before grabbing Bella and Apparating out of there.

Dumbledore would pay for taking his brother from him.
