I do not own Harry Potter, and Niccolo is just Tom Riddle. This is slightly AU, and yet at the same time canon. This will have Tomione, and be a bit of an incest fic being adopted brother x sister, so don't like don't read.
This is more of a summeryish chapter, so sorry if it seems rushed.
Chapter 1
Over the years he had collected hair, nails and even blood from his muggle had been a back up plan, in case if his Horcruxes ever failed. It was a potion invented by a Muggleborn wizard with a Squib mother, and was actually quite genius.
Simply put, one only had to collect samples of as many people as one could and put it into a potion that acted a lot like polyjuice but was much more permanent. Because it went and mingled the DNA of the samples to create a new DNA strand and then went into the takers body, replacing their DNA with the new DNA.
He had taken it in case his plan failed-it did.
As his curse backfired, he had apparated away and felt like he was on fire.
His body changed, shrinking as his body realigned itself.
He was younger, about two years old he noted as he looked in the mirror. He had a rather attractive appearance he noted. He had black hair, a fact he was grateful for. His eyes were blue- a dark, almost black purplish sort of blue. His skin was olive.
He looked nothing like he had as a child. He briefly wondered where he was.
It turned out that he was in Italy, and was quickly sent to an orphanage. They all thought he was born in 1979, and he pretended to have no memories. He was a good boy, never hurting any of the others and made friends with the other children. He didn't use his magic, and rarely spoke to snakes. He spent four years in Italy, until the day the came.
British dentists, muggles, on vacation and wanting another child. They already had a girl, a small thing with large and unruly brown hair and buck teeth.
They were John and Elaine Granger, their daughter Hermione. Muggles.
But still, the orphanage allowed them to adopt him.
The Grangers had renamed him, luckily they did not give him a boring,typical name like Tom.
No,they named him Niccolo, or Nico for short. Niccolo Cadmus Granger.
He was adopted.
It had taken him years, a new country and a new appearance, but still- he had done it.
Leaving Italy had been surprisingly difficult, but Elaine-his new mother- promised they would visit during the summer and he was allowed to write.
They decided to give him an in depth lesson on his family.
John Granger was actually the grand nephew of a Duke, and was officially knighted. He had no siblings, but his uncle had three children, two girls and one boy.
Elaine had four older brothers, and was actually half French. Her father was a Comte, while her mother was a British woman.
Both were actually filthy rich, but preferred living like upper middle class citizens. They owned a dentist practice.
Learning that he was technically related to nobility had made him want to fall over. This was a background worthy of a descendant of Slytherin. They weren't bad, for muggles. They had even let him get a pet, and hadn't flinched when he said he wanted a snake. Not only did they get him a snake, they got him a snake egg, which he would be able to raise from birth.
He looked at John, down at the egg then back up.
His first pet.
He finally had a pet. A snake at that!
Hermione looked at the little egg in his hands and smiled.
The Grangers lived in a five bedroom bedrooms were studies, and it even had a library. His room was right next to Hermione's and was big. There was a queen sized bed with silk sheets and a plush blanket and many pillows.
It had an empty walk in closet, which had a dresser and many shelves.
it was,as a whole, as big as the Head Boy's dorm at Hogwarts.
They went to the tailors and other clothing stores to get him clothes and shoes.
He was no longer Tom Marvolo Riddle. He could not reveal himself to be Voldemort.
He was Niccolo Cadmus Granger. He was an Italian raised boy with a Grecian appearance adopted by Brits.
