Chapter 1

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…
One with the power…to vanquish…the Dark Lord! How can that be! He was the most powerful wizard!
He came back to reality to the sound of blood curdling screams. He held Severus under the cruciatus curse for another minute. However Severus should be killed for not finding out the rest of the prophecy. The only reason he is still breathing is the fact that he actually found out about it.

"Tell me again, everything," He whispered.

"My Lord, I overheard Sybill Trelawney with Dumbledore. She said "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…" That was all I managed to hear My Lord before I was discovered by Dumbledore."

Well Dumbledore, you think you have your little weapon, but you don't. The weapon shall be mine. Slytherin's are cunning. Very cunning indeed.

He blasted down the door, smirking as he heard the screaming coming from inside the cottage. He stepped through the threshold and slowly walked up to his enemy, taking his time like it was a stroll in the park. Fool, he had no wand.

Avada Kedavra

James Potter fell like a puppet with its stings cut. He went upstairs to where he last saw the mudblood run. He went to the last room that had its door shut. Once again the door was blasted down. He saw the mudblood drop the baby in the cot and turn towards him with her arms spread wide.

"Please! Not Harry! I'll do anything! Have mercy!"

Avada Kedavra. A brilliant green light filled the room and Lily Potter dropped to the floor. He stepped towards the cot and looked at the child within it. He giggled and gurgled and reached for him. Transforming a pillow into a duplicate baby and taking a little blood to put in it, he took the child and existed the house, but not before setting it on fire and apparating away.

Lord Voldemort landed in his chamber and called Nagini and a house elf to him. He handed the boy to the elf with a 'Look after him' and sat on his throne with Nagini at his feet.

Nagini, what am I doing? Will thisss actually work?

She looked up at him before replying, Of courssse it will. Jusssst make him loyal. It will end well

Hmmm yes of course, make him loyal. That is what he will do, but not before adopting the boy as his own son and heir. He will need to prepare everything for the ritual tonight if it is to be performed tomorrow. Tomorrow is the night where the fall of the Light will begin. A cruel laugh erupted from his mouth and echoed through the hall. He went down to his potions laboratory and set up everything for tomorrow. Everything will be ready and all he needed was blood from the baby. He needed to think of new name though, Harry was too common. Harrison. Harrison Gaunt. Excellent.

He called the elf to find out where she took the boy and found he in one of the guest rooms. He made plans for Harrison to have a wing for himself that was unknown to everyone but Nagini, Hani his house elf and Voldemort himself. It would take at least one month for the wing to be created equipped with special parseltongue passwords. That however can be dealt with on a later date. What he needed now was to organise his new son's tutors. He called his Inner Circle to him immediately, despite how late it was. They all appeared within a few minutes. Bellatrix and Lucius were at the front of the small group, the unappointed leaders. They all rose when he started speaking yet did not make eye contact with him.

"My loyal Death Eaters. I have some…good news for you. You shall all become tutors for my heir and son."

A look of surprise crossed their faces before they covered it with a look of cool indifference. They all murmured their acceptance of their new challenge. He had already organised what they all would be teaching Harrison, all he had to do was tell them of their new job.

"Bellatrix you shall teach my son the Dark Arts. Lucius, Transfiguration and Charms. Rabastion, Potions. Rodolphus, non-magical offence. Barty, Occlumency and Legilimency. Elijah, Herbology but mainly deadly plants and Evan you will teach him defence both magical and non-magical. Now if none of you oppose, you shall return home and prepare for your lessons. He will meet him within the week."

As they all apparated away, Lord Voldemort retired to his desk to start the plans for Harrison's wing. The boy will be his saviour and the downfall of Dumbledore. Never would he have thought that he would have an heir, let alone a son. Even if Harrison wasn't technically his, but that is a minor technicality. He slowly made his way to the guest room were Harrison was sleeping.

Soon my boy, soon we shall rule the world.

And that is chapter one, tell me if you like/hate it, it's okay I won't bite :)
