21/12/1986
Slytherin Manor, Fenlands,
Voldemort was watching from the balcony overlooking his ballroom the guests mingling with each other, all of whom came in honour of the Yule Ball organized by the renowned Duke Marvolo Salazar Slytherin.
It all began when he subtilized Hadrian Charlus Potter from the clutches of Dumbledore and the Dursleys, thus defeating the plan of the Machiavellian old man. When he brought the child safely to his mansion, he began to work out a new plan.
It was obvious that he could no longer wage an open war, Albus Dumbledore was several times ahead of him and was constantly trapping him ... Not to mention the fall in popularity that his movement was constantly facing in the face of public opinion.
Yet it was not his original idea to wage a war, no, he simply wanted to seize political power before changing the laws to prevent the slightest magic child being abused, like him, and forever separate the magical world from the muggle world. Alas, he was very quickly opposed by Dumbledore, who saw in him an enemy of the light because the old man was a fervent supporter of muggles.
The fact that he was named Tom Marvolo Riddle did not help him, this last name being completely muggle, his early years at Hogwarts were tenuous. He then put in place a most ingenious plan, that of taking control of the Slytherin house at Hogwarts, which in by chance was the majority of the heirs of the noble families sitting in the Wizengamot. He then showed his gifted child personality, becoming the pride of his home and teachers, apart from Dumbledore, being at the time the Deputy Headmaster and Professor of Transfigurations.
He discovered that his tendency to speak the language of snakes was in fact a hereditary trait of the Slytherin lineage, and in doing so, used it to prove to other Slytherin Purebloods that he was the worthy heir of Salazar Slytherin. Thus, he won the loyalty of his first followers, naming them The Knights of Walpurgis.
After leaving Hogwarts and reaching his majority, he claimed his inheritance from the goblins (after eliminating the rest of his inbred family) and became Duke Slytherin. However, after having already created two horcruxes, his mental state had weakened, and he changed his plan. Instead of claiming his title in front of the Wizengamot and beginning his political ascent, he decided to create more horcruxes, steal objects quite rare (and kill the owners, like the Hufflepuff Cup). In a moment of extraordinary lucidity, having created his sixth horcrux and traveling around the world to learn more about the different magical arts, he went to Hogwarts to apply as a Defence Professor Against the Dark Arts.
Unfortunately for him, Dumbledore became the Headmaster and refused his candidacy. In a burst of rage, Voldemort cursed the post and hid his ultimate horcrux, Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem, in the Come-and-Go room of the Seventh Floor of Hogwarts. It was then that Voldemort changed the Knights of Walpurgis into Death Eaters.
It was war, and everything remained partially blurred in Voldemort's mind, probably due to his many horcruxes and the tiny soul part present in his body, limiting his mental abilities , and surprisingly, his magical prowess. He, who at 11 was capable of wandless prowess could not anymore and was dependant of a wand. But everything changed when he received from one of his Death Eaters, Severus Snape, a part of a prophecy announcing his defeat.
"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..."
He immediately thought of the Potters, thinking that Harry Potter was the son of Lily and James Potter, and therefore a Half-Blood just like him. And he got their address from Peter Pettigrew, another of his Death Eaters, though probably the most pathetic.
And it was while meeting the young Harry Potter that everything changed for Voldemort. Thanks to Harry Potter, he discovered that everything was a trap. He did not know how the child had done, but he had managed to show him a memory that thankfully saved Voldemort's life.
It was then that he realized his madness and the results of his horcruxes. It was time to stick to the original plan.
So, after picking up the child on the Dursley's patio, he began a long process of reabsorbing two of his horcruxes: The Gaunt's Ring (actually that of the Peverell, but he did not know it) and his diary. He recovered 75% of his soul, restoring his cognitive abilities and magic power. Surprisingly, the rituals allowed him to recover his appearance, giving him that of a young man of thirty years, probably due to the fact that the two horcruxes had been made while he was still very young.
Voldemort did not waste time, going to Gringotts to ask for a name change to part with his muggle name forever. Fortunately for him, Dumbledore never had the idea to reveal that Tom Marvolo Riddle and Lord Voldemort were in fact the one and same person. Thus, he was not stopped crossing Diagon Alley when he went to Gringotts. There, he officially became Marvolo Salazar Slytherin, Duke of Slytherin and Lord of the Most Cunning and Most Revered House of Slytherin.
A few days later, he returned with Harry to begin a ritual of adopting following old Magic, mixing blood and magic into his heir. The ritual unfolded surprisingly well, and the goblins revealed to Marvolo that Harry was already his magical heir (though they do not know how) and that the ritual had only completed the link uniting them, making Harry his son through blood. Marvolo took the opportunity to test his son's blood, and what he learned delighted him to the highest.
Hadrian Charlus Slytherin né Potter was the heir of the Most Cunning and Most Revered House of Slytherin, but also the Most Gracious and Most Revered House of Gryffindor, the Very Ancient and Very Noble House of Potter, and surprisingly, the Deadliest and Most Revered House of Peverell. Marvolo discovered that he was also a descendant of the Peverell, making him the second heir to the Peverell line. Fortunately for him, Harry being a minor, he was able to claim the title of Lord-Proxy from Peverell House, making him the Duke-Proxy Peverell.
The only anomaly was a series of unknown titles present in Harry's test:
Heir to the Most Imperial and Most Ancestral House of Zakuul
Immortal Emperor
Sith Lord of Nathema (Formerly Medriaas)
Having no knowledge of a place named Nathema or any house named Zakuul, Marvolo assumed that Harry was the descendant of lineages that had disappeared centuries ago.
He discovered that he was wrong in 1985.
Harry had become a very powerful young boy, capable of wandless magic beyond even Marvolo's. But above all, he was of unparalleled intelligence, and most of all, of unlimited cruelty. Marvolo was fascinated when he saw his son torturing Peter Pettigrew by firing electric arcs from his fingers at the death eater on the ground, screaming in pain. And he saw once again the orange eyes he had seen a few years ago.
After torturing Pettigrew, Harry had turned to Marvolo with a small smile before saying a phrase that once again changed Marvolo's way of seeing;
"Father, it's time to talk."
That mature, old-fashioned voice, coming out of his five-year-old son, scared Marvolo for the first time. But he was excited too.
It was then that Harry revealed to Marvolo his true identity.
Born several millennia ago on a planet in the Chorlian Sector in the Outer Rim of the Galaxy, he killed his parents and took control of the planet Medriaas, becoming a Sith Lord. To prove his power, he renamed Medriaas as Nathema.
He explained to Voldemort that through a ritual on a planetary scale, he managed to empty the planet of all life, making him an immortal being with infinite power. He described how he became Emperor of the Sith, becoming a living god for his people, and how he made his empire flourish after hiding his empire over Dromund Kaas.
He showed him some memories in which he tortured his enemies in the Black Temple, fetching every information, taking their powers. Marvolo was impressed, and it was not over.
Harry revealed to him that he thought his empire stagnant, and through a ritual managed to separate his mind in two, controlling both his Empire, and at the same time going to Zakuul to found a new empire based on a new dogma. No longer the dark side or the light side, he melted the dogmas in a new empire based on the Force in its entirety, with an obedient, philosophical, cultured people. He showed him through several images the beauty of Zakuul and his people, the grandeur of his empire.
Voldemort was astonished to see such a rich and happy people. A people who revered the slightest step of his son, a people who lived happily, devoting themselves to culture and the arts. He was amazed by this huge fleet called The Eternal Fleet and the throne of Harry. And above all, he was astonished by the appearance that Harry had in these memories: That of a man in his fifties who was standing upright, with a trimmed beard, greying hair, wearing white armour and above all, with orange eyes.
Finally, Harry revealed to him how he was betrayed by his own family and finally defeated, falling asleep through the millennia. Finally, he reincarnated as Harry Potter ... And we know how the story goes from there.
This is how Voldemort discovered that his son was older than him, even older than the human race on Earth. Harry revealed to him that he was planning to reconquer the galaxy and rebuild his Zakelian Empire. Finally, Harry made a proposal to Marvolo, a proposal he could not decently refuse.
Harry offered him immortality in exchange for his fidelity, asking Marvolo to swear on his magic (and his life) never to betray him. In exchange, Harry would offer him immortality, and most importantly, a place at the top of his empire, Marvolo being now his father. The latter agreed, stating nevertheless that the Earth would become his stronghold. Harry agreed.
This is how Harry managed to share some of his powers with Marvolo, not being able to transmit the Force, but succeeding to make him an immortal being. No longer needing his Horcruxes, Marvolo recovered them to reincorporate them in. He was, however, very angry at not finding the locket of Salazar Slytherin, discovering that the one in the cave was false.
Marvolo had also claimed his seats on the Wizengamot, and to his delight Dumbledore became as white as a cloth. The latter had obviously recognized Voldemort. Dumbledore became even whiter when Marvolo claimed the Peverell Proxy and magic accepted his request. The Ducal Houses representing 50% of the seats, so 10% by Ducal House, Marvolo became the holder of 20% of the seats on the Wizengamot.
Knowing that the remaining 50% was usually divided between the Traditionalists (Dark), Conformist (Neutral) and Progressive (Light) parties, and that the Progressives represented the majority party (Dumbledore being the leader of the Progressives, this explained his position as President of the Magenmagot), the advent of Marvolo radically changed things.
Obviously, Marvolo chose the Traditionalist Party, which then became the majority and made Dumbledore lose his title of President of the Wizengamot. This title obviously came back to Marvolo, the new leader of the Traditionalists. And new laws were drafted, changing the face of the British Wizarding World.
Unfortunately, Marvolo was blocked several times by Dumbledore who managed to convince several members of the Conformist Party. Marvolo was anxious that his son could claim his other titles, thus removing the proxies of Dumbledore (the house of Dumbledore not being Noble, it had no place on the Wizengamot, Albus Dumbledore being there only thanks to the proxies of the House of Black and Potter).
Marvolo was out of his thoughts when Harry arrived at his side.
"I guess it's time?" Harry asked confidently.
Marvolo nodded.
"Indeed, it is time for me to reveal to the rest of the world the presence of my heir, I wonder if Dumbledore will recognize you?" Wondered Marvolo with a sadistic smile.
The same smile appeared on Harry's face, his eyes starting to turn orange.
"I'm sure, hopefully that will end in a heart attack."
