The Long Lost Daughter

by MariaSakura93

What if Dumbledore were bi instead of gay? What if Dumbledore had had a wife and child until tragedy struck? What if when Voldemort went on his quest to kill the Potters, he sent one of his lieutenants to weaken his greatest opponent? What if Harry Potter wasn't the only kid who survived the killing curse? A story about Albus Dumbledore's daughter, Maria.

2. Chapter 2: The Letter

The Canadians that found Maria on their doorstep had decided to wait for later in the morning to read the letter left with the infant.

Mr. & Mrs. Crowe,

This child's name in Maria Arianna Kendra Dumbledore and she is a witch. She will be able to perform magic, but do not worry; her magic is completely innocent, until she will need it to protect herself. Her mother placed some blood wards around her that might activate at any time until she learns to control the blood magic. Blood magic doesn't harm anyone because it only affects someone if they are blood related as was the case between my deceased wife and my daughter who you now have in your care for her own protection. She is originally from Scotland, but she isn't to know until she starts dreaming about her biological mother, Kartina Dumbledore. Kartina was a Spanish wand maker and also the heiress to the greatest Spanish wizarding family, so that title falls to Maria now since Kartina is now dead. Kartina was killed by a dark witch that believed that our daughter was going to be her demise once Maria had reached her full power. What that witch didn't know, is that by trying to kill my infant child, she marked the baby as her equal, the same as the Dark Lord did on another child on this same night of tragedy. Maria has a heart-shaped scar on her wand arm, right arm if you prefer, and that is the mark that was made by the deflected killing curse. She is protected by most harmful things because of what her mother did to protect her only child. Hopefully you believe me and will only tell her when she starts dreaming of Kartina and remembers the dream and what was said in the dream. Also, contact me when her magic starts acting up, I shall send instructions on what to do next. Maria is a half-blood witch and if she ever says anything about it, say when she starts magical school, just tell her that she has two of the strongest bloodlines in existence and that she will become a great witch someday, greater than any pure-blooded witch or wizard. Please protect her and tell her that I'm sorry I had to leave her and that I will love her no matter what happens or what she does.

Maria's Father,

Albus Dumbledore.

The Canadian couple finished reading the letter and stared at the parchment for the longest time trying to assimilate what they had just read until the baby they had just been given the care of started crying. The adults looked at each other with a look of determination that said that they would do everything in their power to raise Maria into the best person they could and hopefully to this man's eyes she would be who he hoped she would be.
