AN: I am not J.K. Rowlings if I was I'd probably still write fanfiction tho. I mean that would trip the fuck out of my own fans you know. But nope HP verse is never and will never be mine just love being crazy. Also, I suck when it comes to grammar I'm sorry, but I type 80 words per minute when I'm on a roll and sometimes my editing skills don't keep up if you see misspelled words, I try to fix them as much as possible but when my brain goes faster than my fingers it kinda hard even though I do go back and check over my work.

AN 2: Violet Dorea Potter is now and forever will be Cordelia Drusilla Malfoy

Tw: there were previous mentions of abuse and may still come up.

Chapter 10: Both Sides

It was early in the morning when Dumbledore had sent Severus Snape to do a job that he should've done. Violet Potter was his responsibility as a magical guardian and he was doing everything in his power to keep her safe. He'd left her with Lily's sister to keep the blood protection alive. He had been happy that the year had come though when he'd see the Potter heir and he'd talk to her and mold her into the savior that the wizarding world needed since he believed that he-who-must-not-be-named didn't exactly die the night that Lily and James Potter were murdered.

He had sat at his desk and looked at his Phoenix Fawkes who had looked quite ready for a burning day and wondered how long it would take Severus to report back with news of the girl. It seemed as if his thinking was right on target when the green flames in his fireplace lit up, Severus Snape appeared and looked worn out like he'd had a long day.

"Ah Severus my boy have a seat, would you like a lemon drop?" he shifted his hand towards the bowl of the Muggle sweet he'd kept on hand an addiction he really shouldn't have, Madame Pomfrey had given him quite a lecture about his age and the sweet candies he enjoyed so much.

"No, I'm quite alright Albus." The young man sat across from him and he took in the worn expression upon the lanky dark haired mans face. Severus had seemed so youthful back in the day and now, he just seemed tired.

"How was your morning? Miss Potter eager to join us here at Hogwarts?" he quipped excited to hear about his young charge. Albus had been eager to get his hands on the girl when the news had broke about James and Lily he had had his game keeper here at the school collect the child before anyone else can and drop her to him before her relatives house in Surrey where he left her for them to find in the morning. He had in mind a path for her which he had explained to those muggles that they were to take care of her, he even set up an account to help them provide for her since he was of course her magical guardian he had the means to do so.

"They were, it was, Albus she will be here on the first of September." Severus tried to hold his tongue to the headmaster. He did not want to give away what he had done to save the girl. Or the fact that he was angry with the headmaster for what he'd seen when he arrived at the girls residence, but gladly was able to rectify it and make sure that she wouldn't ever be going back there.

He kept his mind blank as he was sure that the headmaster would use any trick he could to find out more about the trip Severus had had this morning.

"Good, I am looking forward to seeing her here tell me does she look as she had as a babe? James black hair and Lily's glowing emerald eyes?" he asked. Snape's hand balled up as he had heard the headmaster refer to his dearly departed friend and closed his eyes for a moment to try to regain himself

"She looked just the same just as an eleven year old Albus, I don't understand why you couldn't of had Minerva do this little trip" He tried to sound worn and tired of the conversation when underneath the burning need to go back to his room and call Lucius and check and see how things were going was just lying behind the locked thoughts in his mind away from Dumbledores prying. He had always been happy that he had decided to learn Occlumency at a young age and successfully used it to keep people who were legillimens from prying and stealing things they had no right to know about.

"Ahh, good good" The headmaster said as he popped another lemon drop into his mouth. Albus was thankful that he'd sent Severus on this little trip and was determined to find out as much as he could, and Severus was probably right he should've sent Hagrid or Minerva as they would've been more forth coming with their notes on the girl, but Albus had thought Severus would enjoy or be more beneficial. "Any other things I should know Severus?" he asked as he set his hands on his desk and folded them, his eyes trained on the lanky, greasy haired man trying to gain anything he could from the searching of his mind as he waited for a response.

"None Albus, that she'll be on the train on the first with her things. That she's looking forward to being here." He stated lamely, "Now if you'll excuse me I must be going I have a few potions for the matron I must complete before all the dunderheads come back to the school and ruin my peace and quiet. He stood and turned letting his robes billow around him and Dumbledore just smiled letting the younger man leave as his thoughts of the girl only gained. The idea that the savior he had planned for would give hope to this world.

At that same time somewhere in Albania a young Quirinus Quirrell had just come across something he shouldn't have. He was researching Vampires for his latest book for defense and had taken to the forest there due to a few locals stating that the place was the perfect spot to pitch up a tent and observe Vampires due to them wandering that area to get to the town. He had that night decided to use his tent and do just that instead of staying in town, not knowing that there was a life form out there that was beyond vampire just waiting for the right person to come along. It took Quirrell in the middle of the night stealing his body and releasing his soul.

Stretching on the bed inside the magical tent the body that was once belonging to Quirrell rose and crossed the spacious area until it was before a mirror.

"Ugh." The voice had stated stretching and turning from side to side checking his reflection not really satisfied with the body he had chosen, but at this given time he could not be picky, but he could definitely help the body out with a few spells here and there to change what he wanted giving himself blue eyes once more instead of the grey and changing his hair color. He didn't look the same as he had had when he was in his original form, but in that moment Tom Marvolo Riddle had returned.
