"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..."
These words were spoken to Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a private room inside a quaint little pub called the Leaky Cauldron. Severus Tobias Snape, Potions Master of Hogwarts snuck away after only hearing the first part.
In another part of London, an evil man sits on his throne listening to the excuses of his followers for their failures. A dark figure walks into the throne room and Voldemort looks up.
"Ah Severus what can I do for you?"
"Please My Lord, I require an audience with you." Severus asks falling to his knees.
"Leave us." Voldemort snaps at the Death Eaters standing in the room waiting to be heard.
The Death Eaters turn and leave the room heading out to be heard from at a later time. Severus remains at his lord's feet and kisses the hem of his robes before standing.
"What is it that you want Severus?"
"I overheard a prophecy milord, Albus was meeting with a seer about a position for Divination and she prophesied about a child."
"What did they say?"
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ..."
"Interesting…there are only two families who are expecting children at the end of July…the Potters and the Longbottoms…"
The Dark Lord taps his chin in thought. Severus pales at the realization…Lily was pregnant with Potter's spawn…for a second time. He bites back a sob with the realization he has just condemned his Lily to death…the woman he had loved since they were children, his only friend.
"Milord please, it can't be the Potter's this will be their second child, you know that the second child is never as powerful as the heir."
"James doesn't claim the first one as his though does he? Not in his mind anyway. The boy looks nothing like him."
He was right, the first child, Hadrian, who goes by Harry, didn't look at all like James. He didn't even look like Lily for that matter. The boy had burning killing curse green eyes, bone white skin, and hair a chilling, inky black. He had the ability to make the room go dead silent with his sheer presence, a strange feat for a mere one year old boy.
"Master, please, not Lily…not my Lily…"
"Hush Severus, I will spare her, but the spawn and Potter will die by my hand on the night of the 31st. Leave me."
Severus turned realizing with terror that if Lily tried to defend her child that she would die…so he turned and ran to the only person he knew who could save him, he ran to Albus Dumbledore.
The night of the 31st was finally upon them, the Potters were in hiding with their sons Hadrian and Alexander, and nobody was expecting the attack of the Dark Lord, none but Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape of course.
Dumbledore had managed to keep the true prophecy hidden from Severus but would not let it slip for the Dark Lord to find. If Tom managed to hear the true prophecy then he would be truly indestructible. He knew that if Voldemort used the prophecy the way it had been told that the he would be on the losing side of the war very quickly, it was no matter though, nobody dared to question the great Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
A dark figure slinks through Godric's Hollow heading towards the little house that belongs to the Potters. Inside the house James Potter naps on the couch, Lily Potter rocks their son Alex while Harry reads innocently on the floor.
The door is blown from the hinges and Lily screams. James wakes and has his wand in his hand quickly. Harry calmly sits reading his book, he was used to being forgotten in the corner or elsewhere by his family now that Alex had come along. At age one the boy already looked as though he were 4 and he had the intelligence that would make any parent proud…any parent but his own that is.
"Lily, take Alex and run?" James shouts to his wife. "I'll hold him off?"
Voldemort laughs a malicious cackle before firing curses at James. The Avada Kedavra lands squarely in Jame's chest and he falls to the floor dead. Voldemort looks to the little boy reading quietly in the floor. He seems entirely unafraid that his home is being invaded. In a few steps he is standing behind the boy, the boy makes no move for a moment but then he stands and turns around.
"Are you going to kill her?"
"Kill who?"
"My mother." The child sneers.
"If she will leave your brother then no I will not kill her."
"She won't leave Alex to die."
"Then she will die."
"Are you going to kill me?"
"Do you want to die?"
"I don't want to die, but I will not serve you."
"Who do you think you are boy?"
"Tom Marvolo Riddle, I am Lord Voldemort. I am your worst enemy and your greatest ally."
"Impossible, you are a parselmouth?"
"I have creature blood, James Potter was not my father, and Lily is not my mother."
"Then how is it you come to live with them boy?"
"My father placed me inside of Lily. My mother is a Vanteera and he is a Dracken."
"Your mother is a fallen angel?"
"In a way, yes she is. She isn't fallen, that is why she left me to my father who left me to Lily."
"You're very powerful young one. I sense more than those two types of blood in you."
"I also carry Kitiara blood as my mother was half Vanteera and half Kitiara."
"Strange indeed. You shall grow to be very powerful…be wary of Albus Dumbledore…he will try to use you to kill me."
With those final words the Dark Lord swept up the stairs leaving the little boy to his book. The nursery door is shut and Lily is inside standing over the crib. Voldemort blasts down the door and Lily screams trying to cover Alex from the flying shards.
"Step aside foolish girl."
"Not Alex, not my baby please, not my baby."
"Step aside!"
"Please, not Alex, not my baby."
Lily gasps when suddenly Harry is standing between her and the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord smirks and starts chanting in an old language before casting a spell at Harry. Harry smiles in acceptance as the curse hits him in the chest. Lily screams and runs to her son pulling him into her arms. Tom smirks before turning to the baby with muddy brown eyes and red hair. He lifts his wand at the baby but Lily fires a curse at him first. With glowing red eyes he casts and Avada Kedavera at the woman. She falls dead to the floor and the Dark Lord lifts his wand to kill the boy. Hadrian stands and jumps in front of the curse meant for his brother. He is enveloped in light before a shard of light smashes into his brother's forehead, it leaves a lightening shaped scar and the Dark Lord is hit with part of his own spell.
"I will see you soon my fellow Dark Lord. You shall return to us when I am 12. My brother will serve me and I in return shall aid you to greatness."
Voldemort smiles a sadistic and pleased smile as his body disintegrates. Hadrian picks up the wand and places it in his pocket. He jumps into the crib next to Alex and pulls the baby into his lap. His little brother gurgles happily at him. The boy would grow up to follow him faithfully…and they would return the world to proper greatness.
