Prolog

Becoming A Father

The night was chilly, the wind was filled with the sickly sweet smell of candy and joyous laughter of children as they yelled "Trick or Treat!" The man draped in a long black hood walked along the sidewalk fighting back the urge to eliminate the entire town. Soon the man arrived at his objective and the town disappeared. The house still had its protection spell shrouding it. With a flick of his wand the spell was gone, no sound, no lights, just gone. Nothing but a creak could be heard as he opened the gate and walked towards the house watching the shadows in the windows. He could make out a man and a boy sitting in the window of the living room playing with stuffed dolls and other toys. In the kitchen he could see a woman dancing as she washed dishes, which soon she finished and joined the other two only to pick the boy up. With another flick of his wand the door unlocked and creaked open this time loud enough to be heard and the man came rushing into the hallway. The man yelled

"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off -"

Lily ran up the stairs as the father blocked the hooded man's way. He smiled at the man who stood between him and his target wandless and defenseless. However, despite not having a wand the man stood tall and firm as only a loving father could. The man cast the spell sending the father flying crashing into the stairs. Passing the father as he went to the room Lily had locked herself and the boy in, he couldn't help but think he died straight-backed and proud as any noble man should. Lily had barricaded the door, he knew she was also defenseless, another simple flick sent the door flying off it's hinges emitting a scream from Lilly. She placed the boy in his crib and blocked him from the man's view. She began begging and pleading for the man to spear her son's life and to take her's instead. He told her to step aside, that he had no desire to kill her. When she didn't move the man raised his wand preparing to strike but just before he spoke those cursed words he say something he'd only seen a few times in his life, Love. Unconditional, true, Love, the kind of love he had wished he had known as a child. However this did not stop his words and the death spell was cast sending Lily to the ground. Now was time to rid himself of the child. He approached the crib where the young child stood staring at him with curious yet teary eyes. As he readied his wand to say the cursed spell one last time for the night, something stopped him, a little voice in his head. A voice that he had thought he had dispelled long ago after leaving Hogwarts, the same voice that stopped him once before from killing a child back a the orphanage. He tried to ignore it, but I grew with every movement he made.

"Don't kill him." it said.

"But he'll grow to one day kill me." He replied back.

"Perhaps, perhaps not?" The man thought for a moment on what this voice could mean by that. Then it answered.

"Perhaps the boy could be of use to you just like last time." The man thought back to the child from the orphanage after sparing the child's life he had told one of the adults that he had thought was a muggle, but was later discovered to be a witch; who in turn had told Dumbledore, and lead to his release. Not killing that child lead to him getting out of that horrid place.

"If I don't kill the child what should I do instead?" He asked himself as he watched the boy who was still staring at him.

"Turn him into a living Horcrux and raise him to be your heir." The voice finished before fading away. The man had to admit although strange the voice had a point. The man lifted his wand but instead of casting the death curse he cast a sleep spell on the young boy then burnt the bed to erase any evidence he took the boy. Before leaving, however the voice reminded him to take some useful things, such as diapers. After he left with the boy, and that is how the Lord of Darkness and Death became a Father.
