Note: Title has changed from Truth Concealed by Lies to SHADOWS BENEATH THE LIGHT
NOTE2: I posted a Prologue before this chapter, but I forgot to add it. So the viewers who had read this chapter, go back and read the prologue if you like. So yeah...my bad on that part.
Summary: Voldemort had a daughter the night he was nearly killed at the Potters. Only the reason he was there wasn't to kill Harry, it was to save him from the lies of the so called Light. Now he sends his daughter to Hogwarts, hoping to complete the real prophecy. Harry will soon find out that he was lied to ever since he was a baby. What will happen when he figures out the truth?
Warnings: This story is rated M for SLASH content and lots of violence further into the story. There will be some sex scenes, both Slash and non slash depending on the point of view through the chapter. Harry will start off like normal Harry, but he will soon turn into a dark one. Very, very dark. If you don't like it, don't read it.
--
It was nearly midnight as the last of the Death Eaters entered Malfoy Manor. The Dark Lord was sitting at the head of the table in the Malfoy's dining room, accompanied by his loyal servants. Only there was an empty seat to his right, reserved for the only person he held close to his heart. That person was his seventeen year old daughter, Tanya Marvola Riddle. Her mother, who was currently insane and at St. Mungos, had wanted her daughter to have the same initials as her father. She had feminized Marvolo so that she would have a girly middle name. Tanya was born July 31, the same date as that Harry Potter, and the same year as him. Although he knew she was more gifted than him in any kind of subject of magic. She didn't need schooling since she had private tutors all her life, even when the Dark Lord was in his weakened state. He had made sure that she was kept a secret and was a deadly threat to the world like her father already was. The light may have been trying to fight him, but they were sadly weakening in number. Harry still hadn't made a move since the incident in the Department of Mysteries back in his fifth year. Now it was his seventh and he planned on making that year rather enjoyable for him. With Lucius as new Minister of Magic, his plan would work. He would be able to tell Harry the truth about what happened that fateful night when he was one year old.
The girls appeared at the door to the dining room. Her hair was jet black and cascaded down to her lower back like a tainted waterfall. Those ice blue eyes scanned the room while having a coldness to them that made everyone do a double take. Her skin was fair, her ruby lips glossy from the gloss Bellatrix had bought her. She was tall, about five-foot-eight. She was also thin, but had size C breasts that had the cleavage of them reveals on her black button up top. There was a cloak around her shoulders, while black pants covered her toned legs and black heeled boots concealed her feet. Her sleeves to her shirt were rolled up to her elbows, her Dark Mark showing on her right arm. That was Tanya, basically the princess of the dark society the Riddle family ruled.
"Sorry I'm late Father," she said in a heavenly voice before walking over to Voldemort and kissing him on the top of his head. He had found a way to go back to his thirty year old self and appearance thanks to some vampires and a dark gypsy. His face was pale, eyes red, and jet black hair short. Everyone could tell the two were father and daughter and even better was that they were both immortal and would never age again.
"What kept you?" he asked as she took her seat.
"Studies," she replied vaguely. Only the truth was that she was actually torturing some of the Order members down in the dungeons. They had captured some a few days ago and she was just getting in her time before her father chose someone else to torture them. So far they've captured: Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody, and Arthur Weasley. Bill Weasley and one of the twins, Fred, were seated in the room with them. Once they found out the truth about Harry's past, they joined the Death Eaters to make sure that Voldemort's plan succeeded.
"You study too much Tanya," said Draco with a smile. He was seated diagonal to her. She just shrugged before turning to her father who was watching her with curiosity.
"Alright, the reason we are here is the discuss furthering the plan. Now that we have complete control of the Ministry and Hogwarts, we'll be able to win this war and take control of the whole wizarding world." Everyone was silent when he paused. "As we've previously discuss, Tanya will be posing as a seventh year who has moved to London from America. Snape," he pointed to the man a further ways down the table. "You will be posing as Tanya's guardian since you'll the closest we have to look like you're related to her besides myself." Snape nodded, looking over at Tanya. She was staring at her nails, admiring the green paint upon them. "Also since Tanya has never set foot in a school like this, young Draco will be helping you throughout the year." This made Tanya's eyes shoot up to Draco. She had always liked him; they were good friend and all. Only the whole entire Death Eater community knew that they had crushes on one another. None of them would show their infatuation though, it wasn't their nature. "Draco you will explain the rules of the school to her and everything once you guys get there, understood?"
"Yes milord," he replied in a very respectful tone.
"Will I be sorted?" asked Tanya. They looked at her as if she was dumber than shit. "I mean in front of the whole entire student body."
"You must," answered Snape. "If not, that'll cause suspicion."
Tanya nodded, leaning back in her seat with an expression of deep thought on her features. "How far in my mind will the sorting hat go?" There was realization on everyone's faces. It seemed like everyone didn't even think about that dilemma. Tanya knew enough about Hogwarts to know about the sorting hat. Only she really wanted to know how it worked. How far was it willing to go to put a person in their right house? If the hat did go into her head, that could mean a problem. No, Severus was now headmaster so she didn't have to worry, right? Right. Severus would silence the hat if he went too far into her mind. He could always get another one and destroy that one. She bit her lip as she thought about that situation. "I'll use Imperio if I have to," she said to break the heavy silent. "I can already use magic without a wand and the colors of the magic will only be seen briefly in my eyes, but I'll be too far away from anyone to notice."
"Will it work?" asked Bellatrix.
"The sorting hat has a soul, so yes it will," answered Voldemort. He smiled at his daughter. "You'll do perfectly at Hogwarts. Probably even outscore that mudblood that hangs around Harry."
"If you're talking about Granger, then yes," said Draco. "Granger is only a small percentage of how smart the princess is." Tanya dropped her head a little to hide the small blush creeping on her cheeks. Bellatrix caught this and smiled sweetly.
"Miss. Granger will be quite annoyed then," said Severus while taking a sip of his wine. A playful smirk appeared on the follower's lips as he thought of a new little idea that would be fun. "I'll be sure that most of the Gryffindor and Slytherin students have classes together. It will be a quite interesting competition between the two."
"Couldn't I just kill the mudblood to get her out of the way? She's involved in the lies too," sneered Tanya with hate. Harry belonged on her father's side and that stupid prophecy that Trelawney woman predicted was untrue to the fullest extent. Trelawney was a fraud, paid by Dumbledore to give everyone that false prediction.
"We could, but that would make Potter unhappy," explained Snape. "I know how much you love killing mudbloods, but try to restrain those urges for a while. You wouldn't want the real prophecy to not come true would you?"
"No," she sighed. "But I better get to kill her sooner or later."
"You will," promised Lord Voldemort. "Just remember that I'll let you torture her for a while before killing her." A sick smile spread across Tanya's lips, making gruesome images enter her mind.
"Can Draco help?" she asked out of the blue.
"What?" asked Draco.
Tanya smile. "You're my best friend and I'd like to share torturing her with you. I mean, you had to endure how many years of her always knowing the answer about everything. I think it's a well deserved gift from me."
"You're so cool," smiled Draco as some of the Death Eaters chuckled at his response.
"So it's settled then?" asked the Dark Lord. His servants nodded in response and the meeting was dismissed. Now it was time for the real work to begin.
-.-
Diagon Alley was way too cheery for Tanya's liking. Severus was walking with her to get her supplies along with Draco. She watched as children skidded passed her with play brooms, teenaged girls squealed at rather good looking men, and the guys crowded around the Quidditch shop. She looked in the window as she passed, smirking. The new broom, Demonfire, was out on display. Tanya, along with Draco, already had one. It was really fast and she felt alive whenever she rode on it. Sometimes, Draco and she would race. She always won since their races involved hexing each other.
They had just exited Flourish & Blotts to get their school books. Tanya needed to get to Knockturn Alley to get some Dark Arts books since she loved reading about how to torture someone to death without the use of Crucio. She couldn't help it, she was evil. Mostly insane, but every evil person had their insanity.
"You have to go here every year for school?" asked Tanya in disgust. "It's so…"
"Disgustingly sweet?" finished Snape.
"Yeah," she said in a low voice. "It makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Just wait until you get to Hogwarts," groaned Draco. "Everyone has a smile plastered on their faces."
Tanya let a laugh escape her. "I'll make sure they're crying by the time Christmas comes around."
"There he is," whispered Snape while gesturing behind him. A boy with green eyes, messing black hair, and pale skin was coming out of the potions shop with a red head and a bushy haired girl. His hair covered his scar and for some reason he didn't have glasses on. Her father described him as having glasses; maybe he got his eyes done over the summer or something. Or maybe the prophecy was starting to take effect. He seemed taller and had sharper features than his picture showed from the Daily Prophet not two months ago. "I'll leave you and Draco. I need to go get some things from Knockturn Alley." He left without another word. Tanya looked up at Draco who smirked before walking up to him with her in tow. Draco bumped shoulders, very hard with Ronald. Ron stopped, turning and glaring at the Slytherin.
"Didn't see you there Weasel," smirked Draco.
"Shut it you git," he snapped.
"Someone woke up without a good fucking today," laughed Draco.
"You little-" but Ron couldn't finish.
"Draco who are these people?" asked Tanya in a soft voice. The trio then looked at her. She was hiding behind Draco, but now she was in their view. The reason was because she loved Draco's scent and when she was behind him she could sniff him freely.
"No one of importance Tanya," he smiled down at her before putting his arm around the girl's shoulders. "Except for Potter here. You might've heard of him."
"The one who nearly killed the Dark Lord, right?"
"Yes," replied Harry with a sniff.
"You are quite a legend around these parts," observed Tanya. "Only back where I come from, in America, we think that prophecy sent by Trelawney was completely false."
"Why is that?"
"She was pronounced a fraud when she didn't predict anything right in the American Ministry. I'm surprised you didn't hear about it."
"Yes I heard about it," said Harry. "But if she was a fraud, then how come she predicted about Voldemort and I becoming enemies?"
"We believe there was an outside source doing that kind of work. Making sure that it looked like the Dark Lord did the bidding when it was actually someone else." Tanya saw Hermione glare at her, making her smirk. So she was right about Miss. Mudblood being an active member in the Order, and she knew the complete truth.
"That's ridiculous Harry," said Hermione with a nervous glint in her eye. "How could someone even think that? You-Know-Who is evil, end of story."
"Yeah," said Harry. "Voldemort was the one who killed my parents. So if you'd please give it a rest we'll be on our way." He started to walk away from them. Shit, Tanya thought.
"I'm sorry if I offended you," said Tanya. "It's just a stupid theory us American's have." Harry turned around, looking at her with a small smile. "Look, I know my friend Draco is being a complete ass, but that's the way he is. I apologize for what he said and what he says in the future. If you want, you can hex me when he does."
Harry laughed. "I'll keep that in mind Tanya…what's your last name?"
"Riddle," she answered. His eyes widened. "Is something wrong?"
"Are you in any relation to Thomas Marvolo Riddle?" he asked with haste.
"Of course," she wanted to say, but she didn't.
"Um…" Tanya pretended to think. She shook her head, oh was she good at acting. "I don't think so. My whole family has lived in American since the four founders of Hogwarts made the school."
"Oh," Harry breathed in relief, "Just had to make sure. I hope to see you around Tanya," smiled Harry as she rushed to meet up with his friends. Hermione was glaring daggers at Tanya, and she smirked in returned when Harry's back was facing her.
"You're good at playing the innocent new girl," commented Draco as he led her towards Knockturn Alley. They went down the narrow alley, making the dark wizards cower in their shadows. Draco led Tanya into a potions store where Snape was. He looked over at them as he purchased some ingredients.
"That mudblood knows the truth," murmured Tanya as they exited the store. "I didn't have to use my Occlumency to figure that out. And the red head knows too. I kind of peered into his mind too. I also figured out that him, along with his mother, father, and sister Ginny also have knowledge of the lie. Since we already have his father, we only have three more to murder in that family and the others we can convert."
"I didn't know you knew Occlumency," said Snape.
"You don't know a lot about me Severus. In fact, Draco knows more about you.
-.-
"Harry you have to stay away from that girl," said Hermione as the trio walk onto Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Harry rolled his eyes. For three days Hermione was talking about staying away from Tanya. So was Ron. It was really annoying Harry to the greatest extent. How the hell could someone go on and on about a person they just met a few days ago? It was insane!
"Guys, I don't see your problem with her."
"Riddle, Harry, her last name is Riddle," exasperated Ron. "She's somehow related to You-Know-Who and she's hanging around Malfoy."
"So what. That doesn't mean anything at all. Riddle could be a common name in America and she assured me that she wasn't related to him whatsoever." said Harry as he found an empty compartment to sit in. He put his stuff up as well as he friends did before sitting down. "She's a nice girl who just moved here from America. You could at least be a little understanding. It's an entirely new part of the world for her. And she said her family has been in America since Hogwarts was founded."
"Just because she said it doesn't mean it's true," exclaimed Hermione. Some first years stopped at the open door, to look at her as if she were insane. She scowled before shutting the door and putting a silencing charm on their compartment. "She could be lying."
"Well I believe her," said Harry. "And would you just drop it."
"But-"
"Drop it," he said in a dangerous voice. It went silent and Hermione took off the charm. Ron decided to stare out the window, nudging Harry as he did. He pointed out onto the platform. The teen looked to see Lucius Malfoy talking to Tanya and Draco. They seemed to be listening every so attentively. Then Tanya smiled, trying to hold back giggles. Harry silently wondered what they were talking about. He looked over at Malfoy, cocking his head slightly. He hadn't realized how flawless his skin was or how his hair was rather…luscious in the light of the platform. He shook his head before leaning back in his seat. Where was this coming from? He looked over at Ron, realizing that he had a nice lean figure. Harry wanted to slap himself! What was going on with him? He sighed; it was just something he ate.
"I wonder what her wand is made out of," said Hermione.
"What do you mean?" asked Harry.
"I saw her pull out her want not two seconds ago to repair something for Malfoy. It was all black with a red streak entwining with a silver one on it. I've never seen that before."
"Must've been made by rare ingredients then," said Ron. "It's the only explanation."
Harry shrugged. He watched as she disappeared from his sight and a few minutes later she was walking with Malfoy, Parkinson, Crabbe, and Goyle to find an empty compartment. There was one empty one across from theirs. She waved at Harry with a smile before getting the compartment next to them and shutting the door. He smiled back, getting glares from his two friends. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing," whispered Hermione as she took out a book and started to read it. Harry sighed, looking over at Tanya. She was talking to Pansy with a serious look on her face. In fact, everyone was listening to her as she spoke. She glanced over at Harry, giving him a smile before relaxing and talking to her friends like everything was normal. To Harry, everything was normal.
