Chapter 1: A Past Worth Knowing
(A/N: This is the first story I've written like this, so bear with me.)
Voldemort, the Dark Lord of the Wizarding World, was dead.
Everyone knew it to be true, after he tried to kill a young baby with the dreaded killing curse and his spell backfired onto himself turning him into a pile of ash and dust.
The child was none other than the 7 month old Harry Potter, the now famous Boy Who Lived, but as for his beloved parents...
They were killed by the dreaded Dark Lord before his demise.
As far as everyone knew he was taken by Dumbledore and sent to live with his closest living relatives until he came of age to attend the magical school known as Hogwarts.
Until then he was under the loving care of his Aunt, Uncle, and younger cosuin, which acording to Dumbledore would take care of him...
This however was not the case the Durselys found the abanodend Harry Potter on their doorstep.
Vernon and Petunia Dursely hated the child from the moment they opened the letter.
In their eyes Harry was a freak beyond nature just like his freaky parents before their death, and naturally they didn't want his freakness to rub off on to their precious little Dudley.
So without a second thought, Vernon placed the young baby in a basket while it slept and set it in front of the farthest orphanage within London, never to be thought of again by his so called 'loving family'.
But unknown to the horrible man known as Vernon Dursley, he set the boy on the doorway of Whammy's House, the orphanage for the mentally gifted which only accepted the brightest of minds.
As soon as the young baby was discovered by Mr. Quilish, the founder of the house, he became a ward of the house without a second thought.
Mr. Quilish looked at the child that slept in his arms with his pale ivory like skin, shaggy black hair that has looks almost wind blown, and the all too present lighting shape scar at the brow of his forehead which looked recent and painful, wondering who would do that to a child, let alone a baby!
Since there was no letter, he didn't know where the boy come from or his name...
The child was abandoned and clearly hurt and he intended to remedy that.
He petted the young child's head softly and said in a soothing tone, "Don't worry young one, you are safe here... No one will harm you anymore..."
The boy open his eyes showing off the emerald green pearing out in a dull manor, looking up at the elderly man.
Quilish touched the inflamed scar lightly and the babe began to wail in pain.
He sooth the boy's crying and then applied some anti-bacterial cream, so that it wouldn't get infected and to dull the pain wertching in his head.
After the cream was applied the redness went down and the boy's eyes began to dull, to an almost blackish color making the beautiful green vanish.
Quilish smiled and said, "You are quite the trickster little one."
The baby giggled and looked around the small nursery which was soon to be his.
Quilish looked at the boy and said, "Hmmm... You need a name, but what should it be?"
He thought for a moment taking into consideration of all the chareistics the 7 month old baby had and what was known about him from the hours he got to know the child.
The baby was set on the floor for a moment to play while Quilish thought on his name.
When he looked up the boy had the alphabet blocks out and stacked a line of letters into words.
The boy was already showing promising signs of being a genius considering he was spelling legible words before the age of one, meaning his former family had brought the boy to Whammy's House intentionally. (Which they did not.)
When Quilish looked up he saw the unknown child spelled out a single name with the blocks...
L LAWLEIT
'So he was paying attention to what I was saying... Quite clever.' Quilish thought as the boy crawled to the elderly man.
Quilish smiled at the boy and said, "So you chose a name without me? It's fine then my boy, as of this day foreword, you are L. Lawleit and a official resident of Whammy's house."
And from that day forward, Harry James Potter was dead in the eyes of the child and L. Lawleit was born to a world he desperately wanted to understand.
L's talents became even more known as he grew up and so did odd his habits and quirks.
At age two he was was in advance chemistry classes, was beginning psychology, and knew how to speak Japanese, Spanish, German, and French fluently as a two year old could, but was constantly plagued by nightmares causing him to abandon sleep altogether...
This was the beginning of his life long Insomnia which was shown though the dark bags under his eyes, which honestly he didn't care.
Sleep was meaningless to him, and only slept about 3 hours every 2 days at the most.
He was master at the piano by age 4 while finshing up his physiology classes, becoming a chess master, and became the English tennis champian under the name Hidiaki Ryouga, but became almost obsessed with sweets, to where his couldn't handle eating normal foods.
He found that the sugar helped him think along with the coffee, it became his normal diet which no one questioned, unless they wished to be scalded by a 4 year old with a 280 I.Q.
Then it happened...
L solved his first police case at age 7...
He figured out the who was the serial killer plaguing London for the last 3 years and brought him to justice without leaving the comfort of the orphanage...
This put the name L out among law enforcement.
This brought a new life to L, a purpose that was never there before, which also brought on his bad posher and odd way of sitting and holding objects.
He had a talent for criminology and received his collage degrees by age 9, out ranking men and women twice his age.
By age 10 he was world renowned as L, the world best detective which no one knew what he looked like or sounded like.
He and Quilish, who went by Watari, helped bring justice through out the world.
He always looked the same wearing nothing but a pair of blue jeans, a long sleeved white shirt with multiple creases and wrinkled, and no shoes or socks, only his bear feet which he preferred it this way.
His hair became long and unruly which he rarely brushed with a shade close to ebony, his body was long, lanky, and very thin, despite the amount of sugar he ingested, and he always seemed to be either biting his thumb or meddling with what ever is in front of him.
The scar that was on his forehead was removed when he was 3 years old at the child's request after saying, it was a distraction to his studies, making he skin almost flawless with the obvious exception of the dark circles stained below his eyes.
When people asked for his name, an alias was always given, such as Ryouzaki Rue or Hikaki Ryouga, only Watari and a few people at Whammy's house knew who he really was.
L was clearly a mad genius that was changing the world one case at a time.
But all while this was going on, the Wizarding World was looking forward their saviour attending the magical school of his parents.
When the day of Harry's eleventh birthday came around the Hogwart's letter was sent to Number 4, Pivet Drive, and Dumbledore patiently awaited a reply from the young soon to be wizard.
But when he got one, he was in complete shock of what he received.
The letter wasn't from Harry Potter...
It was from his aunt, Petunia Dursley and it said;
To Whom it may concern,
Do not send another letter to this family you bunch of freaks.
The boy does not live here any longer, we placed him in an orphanage the day after we found him, so that his freakyness wouldn't rub off on my beloved son.
We do not want him nor will we take him if you bring him to us.
We left no letter so he won't expose your precious magic, let alone his name.
Although I thank you for informing me of my sister's death, I do not wish to hear from the magical world again.
Do not write back, we have already moved away from this freakyness and have sent this letter without a return address.
Good bye and good riddance.
Petunia Dursley
"Impossible! The blood wards! He not protected anymore! Oh sweet Merlin!" Dumbledore exclamined as he stood up.
McGonagall came into his office and said, "Albus? What's wrong?"
He replied, "It's Harry... He not at the Dursley's home! He's missing! Harry Potter is missing!"
McGonagall shook her head and said, "I told you Albus, they were the worst kind of muggles... Did they say when they last saw him?"
Dumbledore replied, "Eleven years ago. They said he was left in a orphanage... Minervia he could be anywhere now! What can we do?!"
McGonagall replied, "If we can't find him Albus, the the Death Eaters can't either. We know that he is safe, but right now we must focus on the school year and when summer comes we can begin searching for him."
Dumbledore looked at the Deputy Headmistress and said, "As always, you are correct Minerva... All we can do is wait."
And so began the school year at Hogwarts, which the name Harry Potter was almost forgotten among the student that went there, and was never metioned by the Professors either.
When the year finally ended, the Order of the Phoenix when in search of the missing Boy Who Lived.
They seached every orphanage in England looking for him. When they came to Whammy's House, a young 6 year old Mello opened the door to Serverus Snape and Menerva McGonagall.
Mello took a bite of chocolate and said, "Hello, can I be of service to you two or perhaps you have the wrong address? I can clarify directions if you need me to."
The two Professor were taken back by how advance the boy spoke even for his age.
McGonagall looked at him and asked, "Where did you learn to speak like that young man?"
Mello replied, "You do realize this is Whammy's House right? The orphanage for the mentally gifted. I have an I.Q. of 220 and I am majoring in criminology."
McGonagall was taken back a bit.
She knew this was an orphanage for the gifted but this was a incredible amount of intelligence for a 6 year old to have.
She looked at him and said, "No, were at the right address... May we speak to an adult?"
Mello smirked and said, "Mr. Quilish isn't here right now and the other teachers are in class... It's my free period, so I can answer your questions."
Snape looked at the boy and said, "We're looking for a young boy around eleven with black hair, green eyes, and a scar on his forehead in the shape of a lighting bolt. We have reason to believe the boy was dropped off at an orphanage 11 years back, mistakenly and we come to bring him to his family."
Mello took a bite of his chocolate once more and said, "Based on your profile of said person, I can say he certainly isn't here. The only eleven year old kids here are Ryuzaki and Honor. Honor is a girl, so she's automaticly out, and Ryuzaki had grey eyes and no scar... Sorry, can I at least offer you some tea?"
McGonagall replied, "No thank you Mr...?"
"Mello... No last name. Just Mello... Most kids here abandon their real name, so they can work toward who they want to be."
She nodded and said, "Very well, thank you for your time Mr. Mello. Have a good day."
Mello smiled and said, "You as well, and if your still looking for him later on a later date, we know a great detective. He helped find most of the kids in the house and rescue them from abusive homes."
Snape nodded and said, "We'll keep that in mind. Now, good day."
The two wizards walked away from Whammy's House and talked in hushed tones. "Severus, did you sense it?"
Snape nodded and said, "That Mello boy and possibly some of the other residents maybe magic... We'll have to wait until letter's start arriving to be sure, but..."
McGonagall nodded and said, "The Orphanage will need to be alerted of magic soon enough."
With that the two apperated away, to tell Dumbledore of the orphanage for geniuses and the fact Harry Potter wasn't there.
When he received the news, Dumbledore sighed and said, "Harry Potter is not in England... But that makes him safest at the moment."
He looked at the Order and said, "The Boy Who Lived must become a legend to keep him safe... If children ask, he nothing more than a myth... As far as the Wizarding world should go... Harry Potter does not exist."
Truthfully L wasn't there in England when the search was on for Harry Potter.
L was on a case in America with the FBI, rooting out a drug ring in the Ozarks, which he solved in three days and wouldn't be back in England for another day or so.
But with that L had become a resource of the world, solving the mysteries that plauged humanity.
L's phone began to ring as he left the airport wearing an uncomfortable pair of sneakers.
He picked it up holding it by the top and said, "Hello, please call line 3."
He hung up and Watari's phone began ringing.
L picked it up and said, "You were saying?"
L bit his thumb as his informant informed him of a case taking place in Japan.
L smirked and said, "Very well we'll be there in 2 weeks."
L hung up the phone and said, "Watari, we have a new case and it's big."
Watari looked at his young charge and asked, "What are you investigating this time Ryuzaki?"
He replied, "A mass murder, who can kill with a heart attacks...They call him Kira."
And so began the Kira case, L's greatest challenge.
Kira was killing dozens of criminals each day with heart attacks...
From this L made several deductions.
Kira was in Japan, he was acting alone, he could kill with a name and a face, he can choose the time of death, and he seeked to be justice...
L was both impressed and apualed at the man's methods, and seeked to bring him to justice.
Then after a year on the case, Kira killed 12 FBI agents in one foul swoop, which made L make a decision...
He'd reveal his face to the remaining members of the Japanese Task Force, the remaining five stood by him while the others left.
They have earned the chance to see him face to face...
But when they arrived Chief Yagami wasn't expecting to see a 12 year old boy, a bit younger that his own son, Light.
Masudua looked at him and asked, "Ummm... I think we have the wrong room Chief..."
L replied, "No, you don't... I am L."
They stared in shock to find out the young teen in front of them was the world's greatest detective.
Moshigi then asked, "Can you prove you are L?"
L looked at him and said, "Well, simply I could tell you every detail of the Kira case, or I could tell you the message I sent you back at the police headquarters, word for word. Although since the message was heavily encrypted, to the point where only the sender and the receiver could get a hold of it, meaning one of two things. One, you sent the message to me, which is highly improbable and illogical. And two, I sent the message meaning by decutive reasoning, that I am L. With that their is a 30% chace of you leaving because of my age, a 15% of you asking me what the letter said, and a 55% chace of you accepting it and moving on."
The detectives were in complete awe of his reasoning and skill.
As just as L's figures predicted, the dectives accepted the young boy's idenity as the great dective, L.
They all pulled out their badges and gave them their names as they entered.
L held his finger like a gun and said, "If I was Kira, you'd all be dead right now. Kira needs a name and a face to kill, so please value your lives a bit more."
Then began the investigation in earesnt, after L explained what they had and telling them to call him Ryuzaki.
For the next year, Ryuzaki and the Task Force went into a deep investigation over the Kira murders and their biggest suspect was none other thatn Light Yagami, who was just a year older than L but both boys, being the geniuses they were, attended the same university.
L believed that Light's chances of being Kira was around 10% but that was more that anyone in the world.
As a safety net, L invited Light onto the task force, and he accepted.
Then came the Kira messages on Sakura T.V., which brought out idea of a second Kira who could kill with just a face and talked about Shinigami with the videos...
Which that scared L a bit...
The idea of Death Gods was indeed frighting, and if Kira and the second Kira was using them to kill...
What then?
L then just dismissed it as a referece to how they kill.
Then a new face entered the game... Misa Amane, the famed model and Light's girlfriend...
She was clearly infacuated with Light and would do anything for him...
This brought up the question, would she commit mass murder for him?
10% chance of her being the second Kira and 25% chance of Light being Kira.
After 2 weeks we took in Miss Amane for questioning making sure she was blindfolded and well secured.
After that Light admited that he could be Kira. He believe he might be doing it subconusily, but L was unsure.
He locked up Light in a cell with no acess to the world, and saw if the killing continued.
Sure enough after two weeks, the killings resumed and after 50 days Light and Misa was released under strict restrictions.
Misa and Light must stay under constant survalince and Light was handcuffed to Ryuzaki.
Then another Kira appeared in the Yostobia Company, killing off power hungery executives one at a time, which gave L and Light the idea that this Kira is like the second Kira, who can kill with just a face.
Once he was revealed the Death Note was revealed to the dectectives, and so was the Shinigami known as Rem.
With Rem in full light, they discovered how Kira was killing...
The Death Note would kill anyone who's name was written in it, and anyone who wrote in it if they didn't write in it every 13 days they would die.
Light wasn't off the hook yet, so they remained handcuffed while they examined the notebook fully.
While this was going on, Hogwarts was hosting the Tri-Wizards Tournament and declared the three champions from the Goblet of Fire.
Cedric Diggory, Fleur DeLacor, and Viktor Krum were the names drawn out.
"Now that we have our three champions we can..."
The goblet spat out another piece of paper into Dumbledore's hands.
He opened the paper and sighed...
He looked out into the crowd and said, "Puting false names in the goblet is very illegal and not metion imature, now who put the name H..."
The goblet pull at out a large flare of blue fire consuming the stage.
Most students went screaming out of the hall, with the execption of a few Gryffindors and Slytherins.
When the fire subsided the two teens laid in the floor unconious.
The oldest had redish brown hair and wore a informal suit and looked about 15 years old.
The younger one had shaggy black hair and wore plain white shirt with blue jeans and no shoes and looked about 14.
They were handcuffed together and the younger boy had a black notebook wrapped protectivly in his arms.
Dumbledore's eyes widen when he saw the young boy.
Draco Malfoy and his friends Hermoine Granger, and Ron Weasly walked up to the boys making sure they were alright.
Snape looked at Dumbledore and asked, "What name was on that paper Albus?!"
He replied in a shock tone, "Harry Potter."
