Hello everyone this is my very first crossover story with Harry Potter and Once upon a time. My two favorite series come together in a glorious story. I hope you all enjoy the story everyone.
It was a dark mild night in October as a hooded figure walked down the dark streets of Godric's Hollow. This man was well known in the magical world as the darkest wizard in a century. He was Tom Marvolo Riddle aka Lord Voldemort, a man who pushed through the very boundaries of magic itself achieving what many have died to accomplish. Sneering at the sight of muggle children dressed in costumes and running around amuck. This Halloween as the Muggles call it was insult in the eyes of the dark lord, a mockery of the ancient ritual of Samhain. But he couldn't worry about that now since he had a mission to fulfill, to ensure the prophecy that was told to him by his servant, Severus Snape. According to what Severus heard the prophecy stated "the one to vanguish the dark lord approaches, born as the seventh month dies." That's all he managed to hear but what he failed to do was hear the entire prophecy. According to Sybil Trelawney the rest of it states, "the chosen will be saved by the false savior and be reborn through the love of two sisters of light and darkness. The light will shine, the darkness will purify, the world will become one. Under the guise of dark and light the false light and dark Lords will fall."
"Nice costume mister" a child complimented.
Voldemort gazed down at the muggle child dressed like a witch. He let out a quiet hiss of disgust at having filthy Muggles even near him. But keeping his composure he decided idea maybe the child might be of some use.
"Tell me child do you know of the Potter family?" He asked in his charming, polite tone.
"Yes of course sir they live at the end of the street over there" she pointed down to the end of the street next to the church.
The dark lord thanked the child and took out his wand, "obliviate" and he wiped the child's memory of their encounter. Walking past her he descended down the street and towards the home of the child who was destined to be his downfall. That rat Pettigrew before he killed him was right about the Potters location. Despite being a coward the rat fought against his cruciatus curse for over two hours to protect his friends before revealing the location.
"To think a Pureblood would live among filthy Muggles" Voldemort sneered as he waved his wand and fidelius was broken instantly.
He opened the gate and approached the house when he took notice of something through the window. He noticed a boy of the age of five on the couch holding a baby with dark black hair and green eyes as green as the killing curse. The five year old was Xavier Charles Potter, heir to the Potter family. He was born in James and Lily's sixth year when they had unprotected sex. He was raised by his grandparents Fleamont and Euphemia Potter until James and Lily were 21 years old. Voldemort couldn't sense James or Lily's magical signature meaning they weren't home. Ooooh this was going to be way to easy for him. It was like fate herself was looking out for him.
Xavier gently rocked Harry in his arms as Harry cooed a little. Xavier was a happy boy and a very lucky one, he had his own brother that he would take care of and teach him what his grandparents taught him growing up. The boy jiggled toy keys in front of Harry as the baby's little hands reached up and grabbed them. Harry chewed on them and suckled as he looked back into Xavier's brown eyes.
Xavier smiled as he looked at the clock and noticed that it was almost 8 o'clock. It was Harry's bedtime as he got off the couch.
"Time for bed Bambi" Xavier smiled calling Harry by his nickname.
He approached the stairs when suddenly the front door exploded causing him to turn around. Clutching Harry close to his chest he saw the dark hooded man approach. Grabbing the nearest thing he could he held it like a sword and confronted the intruder.
"Who the hell are you?" Xavier demanded. "Why have you come here?"
Voldemort laughed at the child's foolish bravery. But he had to give him credit for it. Not many people especially a child stood up to him with such bravery but this one amused him. He could only guess it was because the brat had a sibling to protect.
"I have come here not for you but for your brother" Voldemort said.
"What do you want with my Bambi, he's only a baby" Xavier shouted pointing his umbrella at the dark lord. "He's done nothing to you"
"But he is the one destined to destroy me" he chuckled. "And I can't have that."
Realization soon struck young Xavier as he came to fully realize who the intruder was. He stood in horror and fear at the sight of the darkest wizard in a century standing before him.
"Voldemort" Xavier shuddered.
"I see your parents told you about me."
"Regardless of who you are, I won't let you kill Harry." Xavier growled. "I'll fight you if I have to."
"And with what?" The dark lord sneered. "You dont know how to use magic yet and your parents aren't even here. So how could you possibly defeat me?"
"With a power you could never understand" Xavier answered bravely.
"You mean Love!" Voldemort said mockingly.
"Love is the most powerful form of magic. I may not know any magical spells, but I love Harry. I would lay down my life if that's what it takes"
"Pity to spill magical blood, but if it means ensuring the prophecy doesn't come true then it's a necessary sacrifice." Voldemort sighed before pointing his wand at the two boys.
Harry cried as Xavier clutched his blanket covered body close to his chest. Voldemort raised his wand to deliver the death blow as the Potter heir gazed at him with no fear. He saw that the Potter heir was willing to die for his brother well so be it.
"AVADA KEDAVRA" Voldemort shouted as he cast the curse.
The green light struck both the boys when a shield of dark and light formed around the boys. Voldemort gasped as he noticed the shield. Never had he felt such raw, pure magic before. The darkness and light combined before firing itself back at Voldemort. The dark lord screamed in pain as the energy consumed him and crushed his body into ash, leaving behind his cloak and wand. Panting hard Xavier looked down to see what was left and looked back at Harry checking him over when he noticed a bolt of lighting on his forehead. What Xavier failed to notice was that he himself had the same mark as well sealing their fates.
"Harry I don't know what you did but you saved us" Xavier smiled. "You truely are a special baby"
The heir then walked over to the pile of ashes and picked up Voldemort's wand when the sound of apparition was heard and his parents along with Albus Dumbledore arrived. Dumbledore took notice of the pile of ashes and the dark lord's wand in Xavier's hand.
"The dark lord is vanquished and Xavier here is the one who vanquished him" Albus smiled.
"But how Albus he doesn't know any magic yet?" Lily asked.
"I believe Xavier wanted to protect his brother from Tom, and the love Xavier had for Harry was what gave him the power to destroy Voldemort."
"Then the dark lord is truely gone?" James asked. "He's finally gone?"
"Vanquished James but not dead. I know Voldemort had a backup plan in case he failed. Which means he will be back one day and we need to prepare Xavier for the task ahead."
Xavier didn't like where this was going. For one they were praising him for something his brother did. Second they want to train him to be solider against a man who had years If not decades of magical training. He wasn't a solider he was a brother and Harry was and always will be his first priority.
"What about Harry is he okay?" Lily asked concerned.
Albus cast his wand over the baby to reveal his magical core was drastically low. It was above squib level but in Dumbledore's eyes that was basically a squib level. He needed to ensure Xavier was fully trained to defeat Voldemort and he couldn't afford any distractions. He knew Xavier loved Harry more than anything but sometimes things must be sacrificed for the greater good.
"I'm afraid Xavier used up Harry's magic by absorbing it to protect them both. Young Harry is now a squib I am afraid." Albus said sadly.
James and Lily were sad that their baby was now a squib. They blamed themselves, if they had just stayed home instead of going to the order meeting then none of this would have happened. Xavier didn't believe his brother was squib no he believed Harry just depleted his core reflecting the killing curse.
"I think you should send Harry to your sister Petunia" Albus suggested. "That way Harry will integrate into the Muggle world and will live a normal life."
Lily and James thought about it and agreed it would be best for Harry to be raise among the non magical people. This way Harry wouldn't become envy or jealous of Xavier. James and Lily knew how squib children are treated in the magical world. They wouldn't wish that upon Harry no matter much this will hurt them.
"NO!" Xavier shouted making them look at him. "You won't take him away from me."
"Xavier please..." Lily tried to explain.
"No" he cried. "Stop just stop...Voldemort almost took Harry away from me. I am not going to let you do the same."
Xavier took Harry upstairs and slammed the door loudly for everyone to hear.
"Give him some time, he will come around." Albus consoled them. "Lily write a letter to your sister explaining everything. Also Harry may not be blessed to use magic now but any single amount he has might be able to help Xavier."
"Magical transfer?" James gasped. "Albus we can't, he will die if that happens."
"Not if done correctly." Albus pointed out.
"Albus we can't do this to Harry, I mean he might actually have magic when he reaches 11." Lily asked Albus.
"Then what do you suggest? He might not even get his magic back. Would it really be worth the risk?" Albus asked.
James being quiet during the confrontation could see Albus' point of view. Would it be fair to take Harry back when he's 11 and he still doesn't have his magic back at all. No that would be far to cruel. Despite his best judgement as a father he couldn't do that Harry, and as a Pureblood lord he couldn't risk having a squib child. He loves Harry he really does but he couldn't let Harry suffer as a squib in the magical world.
"Albus has a point Lily. It wouldn't be fair to get Harry's hopes up." James sighed shocking Lily.
"James he's our son" Lily cried.
"You think I don't know that!" James shouted. "Wake up Lily, our baby is squib you know how they are treated her in our world."
"Its for the best Lily. Now we can figure it all out in the morning, get some rest." Albus smiled. "As for me I'm going to the ministry to announce the defeat of the dark lord."
"Of course Albus" said Lily.
"Goodnight Headmaster" said James.
Albus disapperated as the Potters turned in for the night. They knew Xavier wouldn't let go of Harry without a fight. But was it worth it for the dark lord to truly be gone, yes it was in their eyes.
Xavier paced around his room holding Harry close to him. He couldn't lose his brother not after what they had just went through. But he also knew he couldn't fight against his parents or Dumbledore. I mean not only do they want to give him away to their magic hating aunt Petunia, but now they want to take away Harry's magic which he overheard. What to do? What to do? He thought over and over in his head. Suddenly he got an idea in his head, he remembered what his grandfather Fleamont once told him when he was four. He told him a very dark family secret and it was his only chance.
Later that night Xavier snuck into his father's study and broke open a floor board revealing a black box. Putting it on the desk he opened it. It was a black and silver dagger, it was kept in the Potter family for 500 years. With a trembling hand he grabbed and went back to his room and grabbed Harry. Putting on his cloak he snuck downstairs and went out into the night. He headed into the church next door and looked around to make sure no one is around. Raising the dagger he called for the dark one.
"Rumplestiltskin show yourself dark one" Xavier shouted when he heard laughter behind him.
He turned to see a man with scaly-looking golden skin, curly dark brown hair, large amber eyes, long black nails, yellow teeth, and patches of color.
"Hehehehe you called for me dearie?" He laughed. "Never thought a child would have summoned me"
"I have called you here because I need your help" Xavier demanded.
Rumple laughed again, "do you now dearie well let me tell you that magic comes with a price."
"For my little Bambi I'll pay any price" Xavier growled. "Now according to my grandfather you have the power of the other dark ones and you have the power to cross over realms right?"
"Oooh yes Fleamont Potter dear old Fleamont" Rumple laughed. "I remember when he made a deal with me to save himself and his wife from dying from a uncurable magical disease. For Merlin's gauntlet of course. But while we are on the subject what do you want from me."
"Dumbledore and my parents want to take my brother from me including his magic. I can't let them do that to Harry." Xavier responded harshly.
"And you want me to help you hide him is that it? You know I can read your mind" Rumple snickered.
"I want you to tell me where I can hide Harry to ensure he's safe. I don't want to leave Harry but if he stays with me he loses everything." Xavier cried. "Now tell me of a place where he will be safe"
"Hehehehe well dearie there is a place called storybrooke where two witch sisters live. They are Regina and Zileana Mills and they represent two sides of the magical coin light and dark. If you want your brother to be safe then they are your best chance."
"What's your price dark one?" Xavier asked.
"Are you sure you wish to pay it dearie? Is little Harry really worth it?" Rumple teased.
"Harry is worth more than anything you could possibly understand." Xavier growled at the dark ones attitude.
"The deal is, I demand a goblin made relic that belonged to a powerful swordsman." Rumple smiled. "After all your family had it for generations."
"The sword of Gryffindor" the heir gasped.
"That's all I ask for" said Rumple. "Do we have a deal?"
"We do" Xavier said agreeing to the deal. "Now perform your end of the deal"
Rumple nodded as he waved his hand and baby Harry disappeared in dark blue smoke. Xavier breathed slowly with a smile on his face wishing his baby brother good luck with his new family.
"Good luck brother we will see each other again?" He cried tears of sadness and happiness.
"Pleasure doing business with you" Rumple chuckled as he vanished from sight.
