Dislaimer: I do not own J.K. Rowling. Nor do I own American McGee's Alice
Summary: Think the Potter side of the family is the one that carries the more weight? Think again. Harry finds out in the summer ofter the Tri-Wizard tournament that the world isn't as black or white, its just mad. Spoilers: Books 1-4 and some spoilers for Book 5
Note: the word "mad" means crazy.
Prologue: Ruminations of Cheshire Cat
You could always tell one of Alice's heirs. They were always strange in some way. They all had some kind of power, some kind of enigma about them. Time just accelerated the power in the blood. Each one of Alice's daughters had found a husband and settled down, starting their own lines of family and heritage. Going down through the ages one by one, until the stories of Wonderland had faded into obscurity. Stories of Alice and her madness just passing dreams whispered in the wind and gone.
Riddle, Trelawny and Evans.
Riddle, all muggles until one fathered a child with a witch. Tom Marvolo Riddle was too twisted to be of any use to Wonderland. No, what Wonderland needed was someone who was slightly mad. He was completely bonkers in a different way.
The Trelawny line produced seers, and nothing else. The current Trelawny heir a seer and like to play at being nuttier then a fruitcake, but they weren't mad. No, not by a long shot.
Evans had been the, by far, one of the most normal lines. The only telling thing that this line had inherited was the eyes. You could always tell the Evans' heirs. They all had poison colored green eyes, the color of the Killing Curse. These were the heirs that were mad. Stark raving, or just slightly, but they all were mad in some way. One day a green-eyed witch was born into the family, and grew upt to be a very good witch, with a husband and a bouncing green-eyed baby boy. All was looking up in the world and Cheshire was jumping with glee. Until that stupid upstart of a dark lord decided that prophecy should be circumvented.
Of course, this was one of Cheshire's favorite topics. Cheshire could rant and rave and wax eloquently for hours on the subject. Didn't that idiot know you can't change concrete Fate? Changeable Fate, yes, but when the Fates got together and say"this is what goes" nothing is going to change that.
That is why Cheshire always kept an eye on the current heirs. After all, he had to do something with all the spare time he had. Helping Fate in all her fickle glory was right up his ally. After all, we're all slightly mad here in Wonderland.
And all was right with the world, until one Tommy Riddle came back to life.
