Summary: Tom Riddle wasn't alone in the orphanage; he had his other half, his best friend, Schuyler. Schuyler Lux was the kind of girl who radiated light. She was friends with everyone and could do no wrong, but she had her soft spot. They were each other's weakness and in turn their greatest strength. When circumstances threaten to break the two apart only time can tell where they will fall. AU.
This is the new and revised version. I've gone back and tried to fix up the spelling issues throughout. As well I fixed any errors that caused issues with the later two stories. I plan to go over the second and third in the series. Hope you enjoy.
Merope Gaunt cried as she tried to cover herself from the brutal onslaught of kicks. These men were drunk and she was terrified. She looked into the eyes of the only man she'd ever loved and saw nothing but hate. She was too weak to use wandless magic as her so called husband had snapped her wand months ago. A disturbance caused by the telephone broke their attention, the men grabbing their coats and making their way out. Merope laid there on the floor feeling the life drain from her until she was hit with a sudden sense of power, she would not let her baby die. Pulling herself up Merope managed to leave the flat. They lived in a bad part of town, but Merope didn't have the ability to travel any farther. She made it to an orphanage before passing out on their steps. She managed to get out the name of her child's father before falling into the abyss.

It was the dead of night and a Spanish man was holding a bundle close to him. His whole family has been wiped out by Grindelwad. Their family had been hunted for being one of the last to hold elemental powers. His family had passed on the gift for generations, and he was sure his little light held their gift. He was still being hunted he could feel it, but his daughter was a new born and no one knew of her yet. He needed to put his daughter somewhere safe. He stumbled upon a building with a sign stating Wool's Orphanage. Knowing his time was running out he put the bundle down with her the only piece of identification stitched into the blanket: Schuyler Lux.
And like that two unusual babies were left in the orphanage. To grow up without guidance and to find their own way in life.
