A/N:- I hope you all enjoy this story. I have already posted full story on my other account but uploading it on fanfiction due to a friend's request. English is not my first language so pardon me for any gramatical errors. Story is under mystery category so all will not be revealed from very start, things will become clearer gradually. Somewhere after many chapters cross over will happen but plot will be Harry Potter centric. I don't like timid main character so Harry will be Alpha predator in story.

Chapter 1
Albus Dumbledore sat down within Hogwarts' Headmaster's office, when he saw Harry Potter's name on list of upcoming students. His eyes got twinkles at thought of finally the moment of his master plan have come.
He still remembers it as it was yesterday. He was having hard time with his duties. There was chaos everywhere. Followers of Dark Lord wanted their children out of Hogwarts and put in Durmstrang. Neutral families wanted their children to be home schooled for safety. His followers (followers of Light) also started losing their faith in Dumbledore. If that happened Hogwarts will lose its influence in wizarding community and Albus will not be able to influence (manipulate) younger generation. Dark Lord was really cunning, he likes to do surprise raids and take things by big blow. He remained well hidden and he was unpredictable. People started saying now Albus is getting old so he doesn't understand change and cannot save them from Dark Lord.
If that was not enough than Lily Potter has also started doubting his methods. Not only she was voice of muggleborns and halfbloods (which Albus was counted champion of) but also she married into old Light family (Potters). She has also befriended many Dark and Grey wizards/witches during her Hogwarts years as Prefect and later as Head girl. There was no way Albus can avoid her longer. She was becoming headache in order meetings with counter arguments. She was turning Grey and had this idea that if Light proposes some peace treaty to Dark Lord which will be beneficial to both side then war will over. Many of his follower started believing in Lily's idea. Albus was getting more and more frustrated as time passed by. He has fucked up lives of his own siblings and lover to reach this position. He even manipulated many students as per his will. He destroyed many lives in the name of greater good. He can't surrender like this.
He was going over official documents when he saw letter from Sybill Trealawney who wanted job in Hogwarts. At that time there was no place open so he didn't pay much attention and put letter on side. After few days Lily announced her Pregnancy at Order meeting. He put on his jovial grandfather mask and congratulates couple. After reaching his office he pulled his hairs and drink couple of fire whisky. Suddenly an idea stuck his mind. He pulled out Sybil's letter from his drawer to read it again. The desperation in words of letter from witch of well-known seer Cassandra's bloodline brought twinkle in his eyes. This was it. This can address both of his problems Lily Potter and Dark Lord. He started writing fake prophecy (his own creation). Albus started writing letter to Sybil informing her that only Divination post will be open by end of term and if she wants job she has to prove (pretend) as Seer by doing what he wants him to do. She replied positively within few hours.
He smiled when he got reply. Now he just needs bait for Trap. He took out folder from hidden drawer which contain List of Death Eaters names. While going through it, he finally narrowed down to perfect candidate: Severus Snape. He knew Severus has suffered from abusive father. Also Severus was potion Prodigy who is desperate to get into inner circle of Dark Lord. Severus was also major victim of so called Pranks (Bullying) of Potter's hooligan group due to his relation with Lily. Severus was Perfect Pawn for his newly laid chess board.
As per plan, Albus invited Sybill to his brother's Hog's head Pub for interview. He put compulsion on Severus Snape to follow him for this meeting cunningly, knowing perfectly well that he will pass message to right place. At meeting Albus told her to repeat what he has written on page in a manner of Seer cast prophecy when he gives her node. When he heard Severus's steps coming towards door he nodded and Sybill started saying fake prophecy locking fate of Dark Lord and unborn Child.
As expected Dark Lord took the bait and started hunting for prophesied Child. There were two of them Longbottom and Potter. Albus started droping hints that Prophesied Child will be of potters by visiting Potters more than usual. He knew this will confirm Tom's doubt as from Tom's own history of being Half blood child (who is more powerful than Pure blood). Albus suggested potter to move in a safe house with Fidelius Charm. Both Lily and James wanted to make Sirius Keeper but Albus convinced them to change it to peter as he is considered low profile. He knew that Peter had taken mark. His original plan was to kill Dark Lord after Dark Lord kill Potters and baby as Dark Lord won't be able to fight him after dueling with two of best fighters and would be care free after small victory. This defeat will add more glory under his belt. People who forgot he defeated previous Dark Lord Grindlewale and were talking about his age will worship him like god. And he will remain hero of Light. He also had enough pull (blackmail material) over Dark and Grey to make them fall in line.
As anticipated Peter betrayed Potters and wards alerted him of attack. When disillusioned Dumbledore reached safe house he noticed Lily and James died and also Dark Lord vanished but baby potter was there alive with thunderbolt scar on his face. Sirius was crying holding James's body. He put compulsion on Sirius to go after Peter so he can analyze things without interference. He checked through Harry's memory and sensed magic around. He came to conclusion on what would have happened and started thinking how to improvise as his original Plan can't work now. Finally huge grin appeared on his face as modified plan pop in his mind. It's time to add titles of Creator of Hero and messiah of Light under his belt. No one can argue that title with age. Also it will make his name immortal in History books.
For his plan to work, Harry needs to be Perfect weapon which can wield according to his wish. So he put Harry at his aunt's house knowing too well they will abuse him. Then he announced World story about Boy who lived. He also managed to send Sirius in Azkaban without any hearing. He played Remus's weakness knowing the guy has his own demons being Dark creature. Also he used corrupt goblin and his position in ministry to place himself as Harry's magical guardian so no one can challenge his authority over Harry and seal Potter's will. He convinced member of order of phoenix that Harry is safe. He smiled and thought it was for Greater good.
Little did Dumbledore know that someone else was also searching for the same child apart from British Wizards / Witches.
In a place far from England a prophecy has been caste by real sheer Cassiopeia Black a year ago.
"A child blessed with powers beyond imagination is born
A boy who can tame the darkness and work with Chaotic forces
The one whose blood holds oath of Devil
He will be keeper of realms and bridge a gap between races
When the Emperor returns to his world and the hands of fate shall change."
A shadow came out and killed caster: "Good bye Cassiopeia, Black Kaiser will be mine to claim but first I must find him"
This Shadow used his powers to see all children who holds Black oath in their blood, there were 4 of them. Out of 4, there were two boys. He sends his trusted to keep an eye on both boys. When the information of how one child defeated Dark Lord, Shadow smiled finally time has come.
