Last Scion of the House of Mortis
This is my second fanfic, so please bear with me. I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters. You know all of the copyright and trademarks deals already so I won't waste your. Also bare in mind I am severely dyslexic so I do mess up things like how/who to/two/too and were/where ect, so please bear with me until I manage to get I beta for my stories! If I ever bother too!
Chapter 1 The Prelude
This chapter serves to tell you what is different in this fic compared to cannon, if you skip this mini-chapter the fic my not make sense. Thank You.
Sixteen years ago Wizarding Britain was gripped by war, war created by one of the most dangerous Dark Lords the world has ever known, the Dark Lord Voldemort, he destroyed everything in his path, hundreds of Wizards and Witches tried to stop him, but every tactic or strategy failed. In the end Voldemort meet his match in the form of two newborn twin boys, Harry James Potter and the eldest of the two Damien Vincent Potter, or so they had thought.
Both were born under a prophecy; The one's with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approach ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark them as his equals, but they 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's with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…
And mark the Children of Prophecy he did, Voldemort had planed to seal his immortality with the creation of his seventh and final Horcrux using the murder of the twins to do so but Fate had marked the twins as her chosen long before Voldemort. The sacrifice of there mother Lily shielded the twin boys from Voldemort's killing curse's and in return destroyed his body leaving him nothing more then a broken wraith, left to wander the wilderness for more then a decade.
The only outward sign of there terrible ordeal with Riddle and his mad obsession with power were two scars; a lightning bolt on Harry's forehead and a slash running from the top of Damien's left eyebrow down to the tip of his left cheek.
Both of the boys entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven and each showed different skills; Harry a master of Transfiguration and DADA and Damien a genius at everything, leading many to hail him the Brightest of his Generation and Harry the 'weaker of the duo', this unofficial title earned whoever uttered it the wraith of Damien.
Together they were nigh on unstoppable and Voldemort knew it. He feared their combined power so much that he plotted to separate the brothers before they became too much of a threat to him and his power.
In the brothers fourth year Voldemort forced the younger and apparently weaker of the two Harry to compete in the Tri-Wizard Tournament in a plot not only to complete his rebirth too power but also to forever destroy the Golden Duo by killing the weakest of his two foes.
What Voldemort hadn't counted on was Damien placing a reverse Portkey on his brother, when Harry was kidnapped by the Tri-Wizard Cup turned Portkey Damien was quick to follow.
Damien wasn't quick enough to stop Voldemorts return but he was fast enough to assist his brother in his duel against Voldemort. The duo managed to escape with there lives, something Cedric Diggory was unable to do himself, felled by the traitors' Peter Pettigrew's killing curse before Damien's arrival.
That said however the twins didn't escape completely unharmed, as they ran for the Portkey Cup Voldemort attacked casting a curse at the duo as they ran, seeing the curse coming Damien used his body as a shield to protect his younger brother.
The spell was a corrupting curse; it amplified any and all dark thought anger, malice, and aggression in its victim and caused them to expand until its victims heart was immersed in darkness. The spell was easily able to twist Damien's repressed anger and hatred driving Damien to the point of insanity before Dumbledore was finally able to contain the curse using a rare kind of suppression bands that he had created by studying the magic blocking bracelets Gellert Grindelwald had been experimenting with before his defeat.
Damien's sanity had been saved but all of his repressed rage and anger were now more powerful then ever. In their sixth year Harry, Damien and six of there closest friends were lured to the Ministry by a false vision implanted by Voldemort.
During the fight Harry and Damien's Godfather Sirius Black was killed duelling his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. The death of there Godfather proved too much for the twins. Harry's righteous anger helped drive him as he attacked the Death Eaters with renewed vigour, his power awe inspiring to all who where there to witness the display.
The endless sea that was Damien's hatred and rage was unleased that night, Dumbledore's suppression bands shattering into nothing as Damien chased his Godfathers killer. Pouring all of his hatred into one spell Damien ended the life of Bellatrix Lestrange with the Avada Kedavra. After the Department of Mysteries incident Dumbledore became convinced that Damien had finally fallen to the Dark side ordering the Order to capture Damien on sight lest he become an even greater threat then Voldemort. Damien fled Wizarding Britain and had not seen again until Voldemort's final attack on Hogwarts where he appeared in the Great Hall and helped Harry to finally kill Voldemort. Despite helping Harry fight against Voldemort when Harry embraced his sibling Damien ran Harry through with his sword; it was a non-fatal wound but Damien's message was clear; Harry had betrayed him in favor of Dumbledore and Damien had not forgotten nor forgiven Harry for his betrayal.
Vowing that next time they met he wouldn't be so forgiving Damien disappeared from the silent Great Hall, leaving Harry still impaled on his sword.
There you have it! What do you think of this idea? Should I bother too continue it or not? After reading many Twin Who Lived fanfic's I was inspired to write this idea down after watching Batman Begins and the Dark Knight the other night, this is only the Prelude it serves to show you however briefly what was different in this fic compared to the books.
Be warned I will be adding some clichés in later chapters; I want to try my hand at an Old School Harry Potter fanfiction theme with my own personal twist. Also this fic may under go a re-write at anytime!
Damien's scar; think Cables scar in the marvel comics!
