A CLOUDED MIRROR

Oct. 30, 1981

A young couple is relaxing in the library of their home. On the floor by the fire lies a small toddler about one year old and a large black dog. A raven flies in through the owl hole. It lands by the young lady. She takes the letter from its leg. After reading it she looks at her husband. "James, it is from Severous. Father is coming with the counsel. It seems we were betrayed by Wormtail. But father has a plan wake Padfoot."

They hear a knock at the door. She opens it and let's in a group of people. Vernon and Petunia Dursley enter with their toddler Dudley. Lily hugs her sister and brother-in-law, the kisses her nephew. Remus Lupin, Arthur Weasley, Lucious Malfoy and Bella Lestrange walk into the house. Frank and Alice Longbottom carry their son Neville in. Lily spots the last person in line. She runs to him and wraps him in a hug, "Daddy!" Tom M Riddle smiles at his daughter. They enter the dining room.

James joins them in the dining room with Harry and the black dog. The dog changes into a young dark haired man named Sirius Black. The fireplace turns green and Severous Snape steps out. "My Lord it is done. He believes he can use the boy to gain power. But he has to get rid of James and Lily first. So I need Sirius, Lily, and James to drink these." He hands each a flask of potion. "But not yet. The clones will only exist for 36 hours. He thinks the Dursley hate magic and the Potters. So he will leave him with them."

They all laugh. James and Tom both hand Vernon a small package. He opens it to finds a deed to a farm and a bank book showing tree million pounds in the account. "What is this for?" asks Vernon.

"To be used to take care of Harry. We will be living in a hidden house under the farm. The whole property has a ward to hide the use of magic. That way we can train the boys. We all know what we have to do." Severous takes out another flask. He cuts his finger the let's 3 drops of blood fall into it. The flask is passed around the room. Everyone except James, Lily, Tom, and the Dursleys add their blood to it. James takes out three small vials of blood label griffin, lion, and eagle and drops three drops of each of them in the potion. "With what the three of us are adding Harry should get some extra power." Lily adds Badger and wolf blood. Tom finishes with dragon and basilisk blood. James looks around at his friends. "You all realize once he drinks this, Harry will be a member of your families. If you do not have an heir he will be your lawful heir?" They all nod. "Severous what will this taste like? Will he willing drink it?"

"Well it would have tasted like strawberry milk. But the basilisk blood might have been to much. I didn't know it was being used." All of a sudden a phoenix flames in. "Fawks, what are you doing here?" Fawks bites his own leg and lets three drops of his blood fall into the potion then cries six phoenix tear drops into it. He then flies over to Harry. "Wait, did you just bond with Harry?" Fawks nods. "Well it should be fine now. Give him the potion." James places the potion in a bottle. Lily then feeds it to Harry. "OH I forgot Hagrid and McGonagall put theirs in when I was making it. Minerva even got some of Dumbles blood and added it."

When Harry finishes the bottle his eyes light up silver with bright fiery emerald pupils. "Look at my grandson and heir. He has more power then me, Dumbles, and Merlin combined. We need to block his powers until he gets under Petunia's new roof. Then we take it off and start training him. Now take the cloning potion and go help Petunia with the move and stay hidden. He should be there by the morning of the first." The three leave the room and come back each with a clone following them. "Which of you are the clones?" Three step forward. "You are aware that you will die, correct?"

"Yes, we are aware of it. Anything for Harry" the Lily clone answers.

"Ok you three will be able to spend your last day with him. I am staying the night with him. Everyone else go home." Tom looks into his grandson's eyes. Concentrating in how much loves this little green eyed boy. He enters his mind. He finds himself standing next to his grandson. "Now Harry, I am going give you one more gift. This one will give you the instinctive mastery over occlomens and legimins. Now no one will be able to read your mind. Remember little on Grammpy loves you." He returns to his own mind and tries to enter Harry's. The only thing he finds are memories of flying on a broom with James, cuddling with Lily, and playing with Padfoot. He smiles, cuddles with his grandson and falls asleep.

When he wakes in the morning Tom creates a clone of himself to stay with Harry. He then heads to the hidden house. He spends the day with his daughters, son-in-laws, and grandson Dudley. Tom then takes Dudley back to the clones. "I need Dudley to be powerful too. He will be watching Harry's back. I would like the four of you to transfer 95 of your powers to him. This will help all around." The clones all transfer the power in an old ceremony. He then takes Dudley back home.

There is a knock on the door. Lily opens the door. Albus is standing there with Peter Petigrew. "Albus, Wormtail how are you? Please come in." They enter the house. Lily picks Harry up before Peter can touch him. James and Sirius walk in.

"What are you two doing here? We already told you no. we think the muggle-born students should get schooling in magical customs, laws, and practical use. They should get these before turning eleven and coming to Hogwarts. That way the children raised in the wizarding world would not have such an advantage. Then the curriculum would be the same. I mean you are trying to make it so the things that we were taught in our first year wouldn't be taught until the fourth year. Just so the Muggle-borns are not behind in knowledge."

"That is why you hate Tom, because he feels you are wrong. The great Albus Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the defeater of Grindlewald can't be wrong. Can he? "He states sarcastically. "You are human Albus. This time you are wrong. We unlike the rat." He glares at Peter. "We are not gonna change our ideals."

"It does not matter Sirius. You see you will not be around to stop me." He points his wand at Sirius, "Avada Kedavra." Sirius drops to the ground Lily runs upstairs with Harry. James hits Dumbledore with a stunner. As Albus falls James is hit with an Avada Kedavra from Peter. Peter then revives Albus.

"Lily ran upstairs with the boy my Lord."

"Come Wormtail. We must finish this." They walk up the stairs. Albus turns and walks down the hall, Wormtail at his side. They check each room as they pass it. As they approach the last room Tom steps out.

"Why are you doing this Albus? You used to be a white wizard. Now you are a black one. Why?"

"Why not? Avada Kedavra!" Tom dies. Albus steps over his body and into the room. "Ah Lily my dear now that Tom is dead I no longer need the brat. So you can agree to follow me and live. You see sweet Lily my bed needs warming. I think Peter always liked Petunia. I will give her to him as a gift for his loyalty to me."

"Never! You will not harm my son."

"Foolish girl. You need not die." He aims his wand at Harry behind her. "Avada Kedavra." Lily jumps in the way. Lily dies saving Harry. Harry has slept thru everything. "Damn it! What a waste. Bye Harry. Avada Kedavra." The green beams hits Harry and bounces back. Albus quickly summons Wormtail in front of him. Wormtail turns to ashes when the beam hits him. Albus stares at the boy. "IF I try that again will it back fire again? Hmmm let's try something harmless first." He fires off a tickling charm. It back fires and hits him. He uses the counter charm. "Damn I can't touch the boy. I know I will leave him with Petunia. Her husband will make his life miserable." He leaves the child crying in his sleep on the floor. He apparates to Hogwarts alone.
