When the
Roses Bloom
Again - A New
Beginning August 1971
"Are you sure it was a good idea to give him the cloak now?"
Dorea asked as Charlus entered the kitchen. "James is not as
mature as you were at his age."
Charlus chuckled.

"It is a family tradition," he pointed out. "The heir to the
family is gifted the cloak shortly before their first year of
Hogwarts. Come on, Dor, how much trouble can an eleven-
year-old cause?"
Dorea raised an eyebrow at Charlus.
"This is James, Charlus," she huffed. "I don't know where he
gets it from, but I have never met a boy more mischievous than
him. He is a magnet for trouble."
"Maybe he's spent too much time with Harry," Charlus mused
aloud.
"Oh no, you can't pin it on Harry," Dorea denied. "It is in
James's nature. It comes from your side."
"Why can't it come from yours?"
"Because my family are well behaved."
"And evil."
Dorea narrowed her eyes at him and Charlus knew he was
close to crossing the line.
"Harry!" he greeted his friend cheerily as the man entered the
room. "Would you like some coffee?"

"What have you done this time?" the man snorted as he took a
seat at the table, noticing the irritable twitch Dorea developed
whenever she was irked by something.
"Charlus is just being a prat, as usual," the woman said sweetly.
"Don't worry, it's nothing I can't handle."
Charlus shivered at the implied threat.
His wife was not a woman to cross lightly.
"Here," Dorea said amusedly as she handed Harry a coffee.
"Have you come to see James?"
"I thought I'd best to before Hogwarts becomes his
playground," Harry murmured, a knowing grin tugging at his
lips. "Where is the little bugger?"
"In his room," Charlus explained. "He'll be down for lunch
shortly."
Harry nodded and took a sip of his coffee.
Even now, after all these years, the man was something of an
enigma to Charlus.
Harry had recently celebrated his 51st birthday, and yet, he
didn't look to be a day over thirty, whereas Charlus and the rest
of the group he had been at school with had grown to be more
distinguished.

Not Harry, however, and even Minerva was maintaining her
youth better than the others.
Charlus wondered what their secret was but was pulled from
his thoughts as he watched a deep frown crease his friend's
brow.
Harry was tense, and had been for months, though Charlus
didn't know what was bothering his friend.
Something he hadn't spoken of was going on, but before the
Lord Potter could dwell on it further, Harry sprang into action.
In the blink of an eye, he had drawn his wand and flicked it
towards an unseen target.
With a yelp of surprise, James appeared before them, dangling
upside down by his ankle as the invisibility cloak pooled to the
floor.
"You said no one would know I was there if I stayed under the
cloak!" James said accusingly, pointing at Charlus who shook
his head.
"You tried to use it on Harry," he said simply.
James stuck out his bottom lip, annoyed that whatever prank
he had tried to play on his godfather had been prevented.

He'd been making these attempts for a few years now, but
Harry had never fallen for a single one, though Charlus did
wonder how he knew James had been there.
"Harry, let my son down, all the blood is rushing to his head,"
Dorea sighed.
Harry relented, and James collapsed to the floor in a heap.
"Better luck next time," he chuckled.
James frowned at his godfather.
"I'll get you one day."
Harry shrugged.
"We will see, but for now, come here."
James did so, looking up at the man expectantly.
"You'll be going to Hogwarts in a few days."
James nodded.
"Bella will be watching you closely," Harry warned.
James muttered incoherently under his breath.
"But I'm sure she won't be able to find you under that cloak."

James returned the grin his godfather sent his way and Dorea
threw her arms up in the air.
"Unbelievable," she grumbled. "Harry, don't encourage him."
"He will be fine," Harry said dismissively. "I'll be interested to
see if you can discover as many secrets of the castle as I did but
remember what I've taught you."
"Always try my best and act in a way that is befitting of my
station as the heir to a prominent family," James parroted.
"Stick up for those that can't do it themselves, and never pick a
fight when it can be avoided."
Harry nodded satisfactorily.
"I'll be watching, James," he warned. "You're a Potter, but
you're also my godson. Do not let me or your father down."
James stood a little straighter as he nodded.
"Now, I got you a present," Harry declared, removing, and
resizing a package from within his robes.
James's eyes widened as he opened it.
"Is this a new Nimbus? We are not supposed to have our own
brooms in first year," he pointed out.
"Are you going to tell anyone you have it?" Harry asked.

James eyes lit up mischievously.
"Thanks, Harry," he said gratefully, wrapping his arms tightly
around the man.
Charlus smiled.
He knew even before he'd asked that Harry would be a
wonderful godfather to his son.
James had spent much time at the Evans household, and was
all the better for it, despite his undeniable proclivity towards
mischief.
Harry had taken the boy under his wing, had taught him how
to fly, Charlus suspected he had taught him many other things,
lessons that Harry would insist continue over every summer
holiday.
The two even looked alike, almost uncannily in many ways, but
Harry and Charlus also looked similar, and James certainly
resembled his father more.
Charlus had long ago given up the notion of learning of
Harry's parentage, but the older they grew, the more he
believed his father had been right.
There was a closer connection between them than many would
believe.

Not that it mattered to Charlus.
Harry was nothing short of being a brother, the same way that
Reg, Arcturus, and Gil were also.
Despite the war ending almost three decades prior, the five
men were as close as ever.

Derek didn't believe there was anything that would bring him
back to Britain. His life, and his family were in Romania where
he returned to every night, but Harry needed him, and the
man had long ago earned his loyalty.
For the best part of three years, he had been in and around
Knockturn Alley, watching, listening, and waiting.
At first, he had been perplexed by his task, but the longer he
spent here, it became more apparent that something was afoot.
None spoke openly of it, and Derek would have thought
nothing of the hushed and seemingly passive conversations had
he not known what to listen for.
However, he had no doubt that what Harry seemed to fear was
unfolding around him.
Recruitment.

Someone, or a group were recruiting amongst the unsavoury
elements of wizarding Britain.
At first, it hadn't been the dregs of society that had been doing
this.
It had been some of the upper echelons that Derek had duly
noted holding clandestine gatherings in an attempt to do so,
but they had not been doing so for some time.
Evidently, they had delegated the task to others, individuals
that were much harder to keep track of.
These were professional criminals who managed to avoid long
stints in Azkaban.
For any would-be ne'er-do-well, they were the perfect agents.
Taking his leave from The Downed Unicorn, Derek tapped the
coin that Harry had given him, relaying an update to the man.
In truth, little had changed on the surface, but there was an
undeniable tension amongst those that dwelled in Knockturn
Alley, and it was only a matter of time before something spilled
over.
(Break)
James was nervous as he waited to be called forward to be
sorted. He desperately wanted to be in Gryffindor like his

father and godfather, but his mother had been a Slytherin, so it
was possible he would be put in the same house as the likes of
Lucius Malfoy and Rudolphus Lestrange.
They were older than him, but he had already been warned
about the older Slytherin boys.
They were bad news.
The thought of being placed with them made him shiver, but
he was pulled from his thoughts when Minerva – Professor
Evans called the next student to be sorted.
"Lily Evans."
The entire Great Hall burst into whispers much to the
confusion of the girl, and James craned his neck to get a closer
look.
Rosa.
The first person he thought of when he looked at the
diminutive redhead was his Aunt Rosa.
Lily, the girl with the sorting hat on resembled the woman so
uncannily that James found it almost impossible to see any
difference.
Had Rosa had a daughter he didn't know about?

No, Harry wouldn't have kept that quiet, but the name…
Evans was a common enough name in the muggle world, but
in wizarding Britain, it was associated with only one family.
Switching his gaze to Professor Evans, the woman was looking
on interestedly, the slightest of smiles and a look of wonder
adorning her features.
Did she know the girl?
"Gryffindor!" the hat announced, and the little redhead
scampered off to the table that were cheering delightedly at her
placement.
James continued watching her, pondering how she could be so
similar to his aunt, share a last name, but have no evident
connection to her.
Lily was flustered, the other Gryffindors already inundating
her with questions.
"James Potter."
James was pulled from his thoughts once more by Professor
Evans' voice, and with all his previous nerves forgotten, he
approached to be sorted.
"A keen mind, one with a proclivity towards mischief, but there is a
greatness in you, Potter. It will be up to you to discover it

throughout your time here."
There was a pause as the hat deliberated its decision, and James
breathed a sigh of relief when the announcement was made.
"Gryffindor!"
James hurried to join his fellow students and took the seat
opposite the redhead so that he could get a better look at her.
At the age of eleven, he found himself already taken by her, the
red hair and oddly familiar green eyes almost enchanting him.
"Sorry, do I have something on my face?" the girl asked.
James's mouth fell agape as he shook his head.
"No, you just look like someone I know," he managed to reply.
"Do I?"
James nodded.
"My Aunt Rosa, Rosa Evans. Are you related to her?"
Lily frowned and shook her head.
"No, my family is quite small and there isn't anyone called Rosa
in it."
James hummed thoughtfully to himself.

"So, you're not related to Professor Evans?" another voice broke
in, an older student that James didn't recognise.
"No," Lily huffed. "I'm not related to Professor Evans."
"What about her husband, Harry?"
Lily frowned and shook her head confusedly.
"I have an Aunt Daisy, a sister Petunia, my mother, and my
father. That's it!"
"Oh," the older boy said disappointedly and turned away, no
longer interested in the first year.
"Why is everyone so interested in me?" Lily asked.
"Because of your last name," a girl interjected, another first year
who had just joined them. "You have heard of Harry Evans?"
Lily shook her head.
"No, should I have?"
The other girl rolled her eyes.
"He's only the most famous person in wizarding Britain,
probably the world," she explained excitedly. "He killed
Grindelwald!"
"Who's Grindelwald?" Lily asked dumbly.

"Oh, you must be a muggleborn," the other girl said
apologetically. "My name is Marlene McKinnon."
"Lily Evans," the redhead replied.
James watched the back and forth between the girls, acutely
aware that another boy had slid into the seat next to him.
"Potter," he said almost nervously.
"Black," James replied amusedly. "Your mother actually let you
come?"
James had only met Sirius twice during his life, despite the two
being related on his mother's side.
Walburga did not like her eldest son mixing with others. As
the eventual heir to the Black family, he was to be educated in
their ways and not influenced by others.
James's mother said that Walburga was just a stupid woman
that wanted to control Sirius.
"Yeah, she let me," the boy answered sheepishly.
"I don't suppose she will be happy you were sorted here?"
"No," Sirius snorted. "She will hit the roof."
James chuckled.

Walburga would be furious that Sirius had bucked tradition.
"Is she related to Evans then?"
"Apparently not," James answered with a shrug, still unable to
comprehend just how she was not connected to them.
Sirius frowned, but any further conversation was cut off by
Dumbledore as he addressed those within the Great Hall.
"Before we tuck into our feast, there are some announcements
to make," he began, smiling at each of the tables in turn.
"Firstly, I would like to remind students that there is a list of
banned items attached to Mr Pringle's door. Please do consult
it if you are unfamiliar."
"Banned items?" James murmured.
"Secondly, the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students
with no exceptions," Dumbledore continued, shooting a glance
at a pair of redhead twins at the Gryffindor table.
The boys nodded solemnly, though their expressions were
equally defiant.
"Finally, Professor Mortlake will not be returning to Hogwarts
due to personal issues, but I have lined up a more than suitable
replacement to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts in his
stead. He has joined us several times over the years but will be

doing so now on a permanent basis. Please join me in
welcoming Professor Harry Evans."
Stunned silence followed the declaration, and James could only
stare as his godfather entered the hall from the door behind the
top table.
The silence continued until the students erupted in a round of
applause.
"Bloody hell, I won't get away with anything with him here,"
James groaned.
Still, he joined in with the applause, pleased that he would
have another familiar face around the castle.
"Is that really him?" Marlene McKinnon asked.
James nodded.
"That's Harry," he confirmed. "He's my godfather."
"And Bella's," Sirius added.
James shot a glance towards the older girl seated at the
Slytherin table.
She was just as surprised by Harry's appearance.
Evidently, he had told no one that he would be here.

"Prefects, please lead your students to their common rooms,"
Dumbledore instructed.
Catching Harry's eye, he gave the man a wave who nodded in
return.
"He doesn't look so scary," Marlene commented as they left the
Great Hall.
Sirius laughed.
"You have no idea," he snorted. "My grandfather told me
stories about Evans during the war. You don't want to get on
the wrong side of him."
James nodded his agreement.
His own father did not talk about their time on the continent
much, but he made it very clear that Harry was not a man to
cross.
If even half of what James had heard was true, his godfather
was a dangerous man.
He smiled to himself.
With Harry here, maybe they'd be able to continue their
lessons.

Harry was undoubtedly an excellent wizard, and though he
hadn't taught James anything overtly difficult, it had been
enough to get an idea of how brilliant he was.
More than ever, James was looking forward to beginning his
time at Hogwarts.
(Break)
All of the other students were talking about him as though he
was a rockstar, the man they had been so curious to know if she
was related to. She wasn't, not as far as she knew.
Lily bit her bottom lip as the prefect explained where the
dormitories were and showed them around the common room.
"It's going to be so cool being taught by him!" Sirius declared.
James nodded his agreement.
"What's he like?" Marlene asked curiously.
"Harry is really nice," James answered honestly. "He's as good
as family to me and I've spent a lot of time with him for as long
as I can remember. Him and my dad are like brothers."
"And my grandfather," Sirius added.
"Do you think that it's true that he killed a dragon?" Marlene
asked.

"He did," James confirmed. "Everyone knows that."
"And the dementor thing?"
James nodded.
"I've seen his patronus."
Marlene stared at him in awe.
"What was it like?"
James frowned thoughtfully, and though Lily knew nothing of
what they spoke of, she was transfixed on the conversation.
"It was a big, scary-looking dog," James answered with a shrug.
"What's a patronus?" Lily asked curiously.
"It's a really advanced spell that helps ward off dementors,"
James explained.
"Dementors?"
"They guard Azkaban, that's a wizarding prison," Marlene
answered. "They suck your soul out."
Lily shivered at the thought.
"And Professor Evans is famous for that?"
James shook his head.

"Harry is famous for lots of reasons," he sighed. "He led the
war against Grindelwald and was named Commander in Chief
of the entire army when he was only twenty-two!"
"And he killed Grindelwald in single combat," Sirius broke in.
"Everyone was scared of him, but not Harry."
The more she heard about the man, the more interesting he
became to Lily.
"Who was Grindelwald?"
"Oh, you won't really know these things," James offered
apologetically. "It's hard to explain, there's just so much."
"Wait, I have a book you can read," Marlene declared. "It was
written by one of the people who was at war."
The girl ran up the nearby staircase and returned a few
moments later carrying a thick volume.
She offered it to Lily who looked over the cover.
"Our Hero on the Continent, by Petr Sokolov," she read aloud.
"He's one of Harry's closest friends," James explained. "That's
the only book about the war that Harry has endorsed. He got
sick of the rumours and Petr asked if he could write the truth."
"Didn't he say no at first?" Sirius asked.

"He did," James confirmed. "It took years for Petr to convince
him."
"What do you think he will be like as a professor?" Marlene
asked.
James shrugged.
"All I know is that we're lucky to have him. Dumbledore has
been trying since the end of the war to have him here
permanently. He came in a few times whilst his wife was
looking after their babies, but not since I've been alive."
"Years before that," Sirius explained. "Not since the fifties, I
think."
Lily didn't know why, but some of the excitement of the others
was rubbing off on her, and when it was time to bid the others
goodnight, she went to bed and began reading.
She learned of the years before the war, Professor Evans' time
as a Hit-Wizard, and every detail of the war itself. She was
utterly enthralled by the unfolding story and found much of it
so hard to believe.
How could a single man have done so much?
By the time she had finished digesting the book, there were
only a few hours left until breakfast, and with her mind full on
the tale of the enigmatic man, she drifted off to sleep

wondering what other incredible things the wizarding world
had to offer.
(Break)
Harry's first lesson consisted of a mixture of sixth year students
from all houses, many of whom were familiar to him for all the
wrong reasons. Most were clad in robes trimmed with green
and silver, but there was also a Hufflepuff amongst them that
he would never forget.
Barty Crouch Jr.
For the past few years, Harry had been debating how best to
spend his time whilst he searched for Voldemort. Despite his
best efforts, he had found nothing but whispers which meant
that it was highly likely that he was being hidden by one of the
pureblood families.
Who that could be, Harry could not even hazard a guess, but
the parents of some of the students before him were strong
suspects.
In aide to defeat Tom, Harry had considered finally accepting
the Minister of Magic post when it had become vacant but had
ultimately decided against doing so.
Being Minister was a monumental task in itself, and Harry
need freedom to move when required.

Besides, his relationship with Eugenia Jenkins was good
enough after he had endorsed her placement.
She was by no means an ideal candidate, but she was easily
influenced, something he could use to his advantage.
Still, Harry felt almost useless when his searching yielded so
few results, so he had decided to return to Hogwarts where the
Dark Lord's poison would seep into the minds of the students.
Harry doubted he could save them all from the effects, but he
had to try, or at least show them what they faced should they
choose to join Voldemort.
"What are the Dark Arts?" he questioned the students,
silencing their muttered conversations. "Mr Lestrange?"
The boy stood confidently, a smirk tugging at his lips.
"Magic that the Ministry deems too dangerous to practice," he
answered.
Harry nodded.
"Take a point for Slytherin," Harry offered. "Mr Lestrange is
correct, although his explanation was given in a roundabout
way. The Dark Arts by definition encompass what you said,
but they are so much more. They are not a specific set of spells
but more in line with a set of ideals."

With a deft flick of his wand, the faux entrails of a training
dummy in the corner exploded outwards, showering the floor
in a viscous liquid and what would be human remains.
The students were taken aback by the demonstration, many
paling as Harry looked at each of them unflinchingly.
"What did I do?" he asked.
"We couldn't tell," Augustus Rookwood pointed out. "There
was no visible magic, and you didn't use an incantation."
"But would you agree that what I did was Dark Magic?" Harry
returned.
Augustus and most of the other students nodded.
"You would be correct," Harry praised, "but the spell I used
was nothing more than a modified summoning charm. A show
of hands who can cast one."
Every student in the room did so.
"Congratulations, you have the potential to replicate what I
did."
"But you'd still go to prison even if it isn't Dark Magic,"
Rudolphus pointed out.

"You would," Harry agreed, "and that is why the Ministry
definition of what constitutes Dark Magic is perhaps one of
the most foolish legislations I have ever come across. Magic is
magic, and so many commonly used spells can be used to take
a life. However, there are many fools in the world who believe
in the superiority of Dark Magic."
Harry allowed his words to sink in before continuing.
"They believe in them so wholly that they become reliant on
them, but that is an error on their part. True dark magic is
parasitic in nature, it feeds on the sanity and clarity of those
that abuse them. I myself am an expert in them. I know magic
that would haunt your dreams, that you wouldn't believe to be
capable unless you witnessed it for yourself, but I have never
relied only on that knowledge. I think you'll agree that my
demonstration has shown that it is unnecessary to do so."
Once more, the students nodded, seemingly enraptured by his
words.
"This year, we will be focusing on perfecting your use of non-
verbal casting," Harry explained. "I will be covering some
aspects of duelling with you and begin your education in
advanced defensive magic. Any questions?"
When none raised their hands, Harry nodded in satisfaction.

"For the rest of this lesson I want you to practice conjuring a
basic shield non-verbally. It is a good place to start because it
requires complete focus on the task. I will be coming round to
assist if you require it. You may begin."
Harry watched as the students set to work, pleased to see that
Bella had no issue with her work.
He had begun teaching her non-verbal casting more than a
year ago and she had taken to the skill quickly.
"Good," he praised as he passed and approached the small
cluster of Hufflepuffs.
"I can't do it, Professor," one of the boys groaned.
He was sweating profusely, his cheeks red from his efforts.
"You're trying too hard," Harry explained. "It should feel
natural. Take a deep breath, relax, and try again."
The boy took a few moments to compose himself, and when he
made his next attempt, he managed to conjure a pale barrier,
though it collapsed almost immediately from his own surprise.
"I did it!" he exclaimed.
"Take a point for Hufflepuff," Harry said encouragingly. "Keep
going."

Returning to the front of the classroom, he continued his
observations, keeping a close eye on the Slytherins who were
paying much too much attention to the Hufflepuffs for his
liking.
The very second he spotted a wand pointed in their direction,
he fired a stinging hex, catching the culprit on the wrist.
Lucius Malfoy yelped, his wand clattering to the floor as he
clutched his arm to his chest.
Harry stormed towards the boy, and the rest of the group
parted fearfully.
"If I ever catch you doing something so stupid in my classroom
again, you will spend the remaining lessons you are supposed to
be here scrubbing toilets with your own toothbrush, do you
understand?" he said dangerously.
Malfoy muttered something, though Harry did not miss the
words 'my father.'
"Would you care to repeat yourself ?" Harry prompted.
"My father will hear about this!" Lucius hissed.
A grin tugged at Harry's lips, the familiarity of the threat
making him feel rather nostalgic.

"Excellent," he declared. "I will even provide you with the
parchment to write to him. I don't suppose your father ever
told you what happened when he tried to cross me, did he?"
Lucius shook his head.
"No, I wouldn't have if I was him either. It was rather
embarrassing for Abraxus and his father. Feel free to tell him
whatever you like. I look forward to his response."
Lucius was taken aback by the rebuttal, evidently having
expected Harry to be cowed by his threat.
Harry would not be intimidated by anyone, let alone a
snivelling coward like any that carried the Malfoy name.
"That will be all for today. Malfoy, you will be here tomorrow
at seven pm sharp to serve a detention with me. I will inform
Professor Slughorn. Off you go."
The students exited the classroom, talking amongst themselves
about the lesson they'd had, most rather pleased with the
discipling of Lucius Malfoy.
When they were gone, Harry readied himself for his next class,
one that would be quite different from the one he had just
taught.
He looked on as the first year Gryffindor and Slytherin
students entered, his gaze focusing for a brief second on the

redhead he had been eager to meet.
She was staring at him too, so Harry turned towards another
familiar face, that of a youthful Severus Snape.
His memories of the man were not good, but he had taught
Harry what he knew of occlumency, and for that, he would
always be grateful.
It had taken years after for Harry to realise just how well Snape
had taught him, but that didn't mean he had ever forgiven the
potions master for how he had treated him over the years he
had known him.
"Welcome to your first Defence Against the Dark Arts class,"
Harry began. "For those of you that do not know, my name is
Professor Evans, not to be confused with your head of house
who is my long-suffering wife."
The students laughed, and Harry offered them a smile.
"Today, I will be introducing you to the subject and what you
can expect to learn over the coming year. Before I do that, are
there any questions?"
Lily raised her hand, and Harry nodded for her to speak.
"Could you teach us about the war?" she asked. "I read the
book that Mr Sokolov wrote, but there are other things I'd like
to know."

Harry released a deep breath but was cut off before he could
reply.
"He doesn't talk about the war," James explained.
Harry held up a hand.
"Mr Potter is right, but I would rather address any questions
you have now so that we can continue with our work
uninterrupted throughout the year," he replied to the girl.
"There are many things that I will not discuss because you are
too young, but feel free to ask what you will."
"How did you kill the dragon?" Sirius questioned. "The book
doesn't answer that."
"The dragon was a mixture of my ability to fly and a little
luck," Harry answered honestly. "It was a foolish thing to do,
but if I didn't, hundreds if not thousands of men could have
been killed. Dragons are exceedingly dangerous creatures, and
my actions were foolish. I was fortunate that I was successful,
but that doesn't mean that I don't regret it. Killing the dragon
was an act of mercy, not a demonstration of my prowess."
"What about the duel with Grindelwald?" James piped up. "He
said it was the most impressive thing he had ever seen."
Harry chuckled.

"That is his opinion," he pointed out. "I will admit that I am
quite the talented wizard, as was Grindelwald and our duel
could have ended so differently. I was simply the better man
that day. Anything else?"
Harry sighed internally as almost every hand went up, but he
would rather handle this now and put it to rest so that there
were no distractions whilst he was trying to teach.

He had secured the loyalty of dozens of witches and wizards,
those who did not wish to see Britain continuously decline into
an age where being a pureblood meant nothing.
Lord Voldemort's own motivations were far removed from
theirs, but that didn't mean he would cease to use their
insecurity for his own gain.
It had been years in the making, but now, he was ready to
begin his campaign of terror in wizarding Britain.
It was time for a new age, one where the rightful heir of
Slytherin would stand above all others.
Tonight, he would dip his toes into the cesspool that was
magical Britain and announce his arrival.
A blanket of fear would soon be laid over the country, and
those below it would soon tremble at the mere mention of his

name.
"You know what to do," he murmured to Rosier.
The man nodded and gestured for the other cloaked figures to
follow his lead.
Lord Voldemort remained in the shadows of Diagon Alley as
the spells began to fly and shops were put to the flame.
Those that dared come to investigate were slaughtered like
pigs, and even before the aurors could arrive, his followers had
vanished into the night, leaving a scene of chaos in their wake.
"Morsmordre," Lord Voldemort whispered, sending his calling
card into the sky.
The green light illuminated the alley below, giving the violent
destruction and even more eerie feel.
With his work done, Voldemort laughed to himself before
vanishing, leaving the country questioning just what had
transpired this evening.
(Break)
It was shortly after dinner that Bella found herself in the
common room reading over her notes from her first charms
class. It was one of her favourite subjects, though after today's

lesson, Defence Against the Dark Arts would undoubtedly top
it.
It was strange to see Harry at Hogwarts, and even more so, his
demeanour.
Bella knew him as a quiet, introverted gentleman who was the
most brilliant person she had met.
As a professor, however, he was rather stern, severe, and took
no nonsense from anyone, as Lucius had discovered for
himself.
The boy was holding court with the other sixth and seventh
year Slytherins, the group gathered by the fireplace where they
were muttering amongst themselves.
Bella had no idea what they were talking about, and she didn't
care.
For the most part, she was left alone by her housemates,
something she was pleased about.
Andi would speak to her, and those in her year would do so if
they were discussing work, but she had little to do with any on
a personal level, despite Rudolphus's best attempts to engage
her.
The boy was a braggart with an overinflated sense of self-
importance.

Many of the other girls catered to his whims, but not Bella.
She was a Black and she would fawn after no one.
Not that she was interested in the likes of Lestrange.
The group by the fireplace fell silent as Professor Slughorn
entered, his gaze scanning the room before he walked towards
Lucius.
"Did you speak with him, professor?" Malfoy asked
expectantly.
Slughorn nodded.
"He will not relent," he explained. "Professor Evans expects
you tomorrow evening. I'm sorry, Lucius, there is nothing I can
do. My advice would be to not antagonise him. Harry Evans is
not a man any should cross lightly."
"My father…"
Slughorn held up a hand to silence Lucius.
"I taught your father, and Professor Evans when they were
students here," he informed the boy. "There was quite an ugly
disagreement between the two and it was your father that
ended up worse off. This was before Evans had obtained any
status, and though your grandfather attempted to intervene, it

was to his own detriment. Pick your fights, Lucius. This is not
one you or your father will benefit from."
With that, Slughorn left the common room, and Bella smirked
to herself.
It was nice to see Lucius get what had been coming to him
since the pompous git had arrived at Hogwarts.
The blonde shot the door Slughorn had exited through a filthy
look before his gaze landed on Bella.
"Do you think it is funny, Black?" he snarled.
Bella raised an eyebrow in his direction.
"I suggest you watch your tone, Malfoy. You are speaking to a
Black."
"A future Lestrange if the rumours I'm hearing is true," Lucius
replied smugly. "You didn't know that your father was being
courted by Corvus? He's rather keen to secure you as
Rudolphus's wife."
Lestrange leered at Bella who burst into peals of laughter.
"What's so funny?" Rudolphus demanded.
Bella wiped away an invisible tear as she grinned at the boy.

"For one thing, I would murder you in your sleep if I was
forced into marrying you," she said sincerely, eliciting a gulp
from the boy. "Secondly, your father can kiss my father's arse as
much as he wants, he has no say on who I will be marrying.
That responsibility falls to my godfather who is the only one
who can approve any potential suitor."
"She's lying," Lucius snorted.
"Am I?" Bella questioned. "Shall we go and ask Harry now? I'm
sure he will have no issue confirming it."
Lucius's nostrils flared irritably before he turned away, leaving a
dumbstruck Rudolphus staring at Bella longingly.
With a sigh, she took her leave of the dungeons and headed
towards Harry's office.
Knocking on the door, she was surprised to find him still here,
but as he bade her to enter, she found him seated behind his
desk looking over a sheet of parchment.
Harry shook his head as he scratched some thick lines through
some of the writing.
"The fourth years will need some help," he sighed as he placed
his quill down. "What can I do for you, Bella?"
"You wouldn't agree to me being married to Rudolphus, would
you?"

Harry frowned confusedly.
"Why do you ask?"
Bella shrugged worriedly.
"Apparently, Corvus Lestrange is angling to sign a contract
with my father for us to be married."
Harry's expression darkened as he stood.
Gently, he placed his hands on Bella's shoulders.
"You will marry someone of your choice," he said firmly. "It
seems as though I need to remind your father of our own
agreement."
Bella smiled.
There weren't many people who could frighten Cygnus Black,
but Harry Evans was one of them.
"Thank you," she said gratefully, wrapping her arms around
him.
Harry squeezed her tightly before releasing her.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I would be here," he sighed. "I
wanted to keep it quiet as long as I could."
Bella waved off the apology.

Harry didn't need to explain anything to her.
"What will you make Lucius do for his detention?" she asked
curiously.
"I'm a man of my word," Harry replied. "The idiot will be
scrubbing toilets, but he won't be doing it alone. I've already
bribed Peeves into making it a miserable experience for him."
Bella covered her mouth as she giggled.
Lucius deserved everything he got.
Before she could voice her approval, however, their
conversation was intruded upon by the arrival of a patronus, a
rattlesnake that hissed so Bella couldn't understand.
Whatever was said removed any vestige of humour that
remained, and Harry's expression darkened considerably.
"Go back to your common room, Bella," Harry instructed
firmly.
"What's happened?" Bella asked worriedly.
"Nothing I can't handle," he assured her, shepherding her out
of his office.
Bellatrix watched as Harry vanished in a cloud of dark smoke
before her very eyes and shot down the corridor.

She had never seen anything like it, and for several moments
after, she stood rooted to the spot, her mouth agape at the
magic she had just witnessed.
(Break)
Jack could not believe what he was seeing. Over the years as an
auror, he had attended some rather grim scenes and he was no
stranger to coming across dead bodies, but never in Diagon
Alley.
The flickering flames of the still-burning buildings lit the
streets in an ominous glow, but it was the enormous symbol
above that gave it a truly sinister feel.
A skull with a snake protruding from its mouth hung
prominently over Gringotts, eliciting a feeling of foreboding
within Jack and the other aurors who had arrived.
"I think you should send for your dad," Reg suggested. "His
presence will bring comfort at least."
Jack nodded and sent off his patronus before attempting to
dampen the flames on the nearby apothecary.
This was no normal fire he was tackling, but a magical one of
which he had never come across.
Just as he was beginning to grow frustrated, a powerful gust of
wind blew down the length of the alley, snuffing all the fires at

once.
It was relief that filled Jack as he spotted his father walking
towards him, though he took little comfort in the unfamiliar
expression of the man whose gaze swept across the carnage that
had been left behind.
His father was furious, more so than Jack had ever seen.
"How many dead?" he asked simply.
"Nine," Jack answered.
His father nodded before pointing his wand towards the
symbol above.
Without a word, a white light shot from the tip and the
resulting explosion made the entire street tremble from the
force.
Green sparks rained down around the aurors, dissipating as
they hit the floor.
"What is it, dad?" Jack asked concernedly.
"Only the beginning," he murmured in response, setting to
work by clearing away some nearby debris.
He said nothing else on the matter, but Jack could feel the rage
pouring off the man and he could only wonder just what his

Thanks for another highly entertaining chapter. Though I do
think that when it comes to any confrontation between
Voldemort and Harry, Voldemort is going to get curb stomped
lol, regardless of his immortality at the moment
Good chapter. We don't know for sure if Harry and Minerva
are using the elixer of life, but they are also powerful with their
father was referring to.

magic and connection to their land.
They're not as it was destroyed
In fairness to those who blame Harry, Harry did taunt riddle
and Mack him and provided him with the motivation to
become Voldemort.
If he had stuck to his decision not to harm a child riddle might
have seen him as a role model rather than an enemy.
Regarding the chamber of secrets there was no need to leave
messages or warnings. He should have left it empty and
changed the passwords so it remained a mystery. Or made the
traps leathal so that he could argue Tom got himself killed
trying to force access through protective wards he should have
left alone.
Harry chose to be petty and in that regard in trying to have his
cake and eat it he is at fault.
well, now Harry can tell the world through the Prophet what
type of man Riddle is beside a thief, murderer and kingslayer

I like how we're getting James, Lilly and Bella POVS can't
wait for the next chapter
I agree. And he did try to kill Tom but was stopped. Those
around him also prevented him from killing a child.
Please write the next chapter already. Thank you very much. I
really appreciated it and liked it a lot. I am sorry if I am being
rude or annoying you with my review; I don't mean to be rude
or annoy you; I just really enjoy your story a lot.

The chapter are already written and have been released on
. There the story is already finished. Here the
remaining chapters are being uploaded on a fixed schedule that
ensures that the people who read on are always 2-3
month ahead. It is unlikely that there will be faster updates.
Although I can understand your predicament :) If you cant
bear the wait, considere becoming a patron to gain instant
access to the rest of the story. Have a nice day.
Great chapter.
Harry is not responsible for Riddle's decisions. He's only
responsible for his own. He decided not to kill a child. That
child later exercised free will and became a villain. That's not
Harry's fault. If he had killed a child he'd be a scumbag villain
as the future is not set in stone.
Loved reading/seeing Harry's relationship with James, Bella
and Jack. If the Slytherins have two brain cells to rub together,
they'd back the strong horse they know (Harry) and not the
wannabe terrorist they call call Voldemort. If nothing else, one

skulks in the shadows and the other stands upright in the light,
which should be a clue as to who is the more powerful.
So many people dead because he didn't want to stop Riddle
then. The story is just getting annoying now. Harry is angry
now, fuck your useless Harry.
Harry should give an interview to Rita Skeeter on who exactly
Voldemort aka Tom Riddle is, especially his blood status and
being the son of a muggle. His dad was a muggle was his mum
a weak witch or a squib I can't remember. Might slow down his
recruitment if the purebloods knew they were kissing the arse
of someone less than a halfblood.
Great chapter!
I am curious if the story is complete now?

Oh boy! I canny wait for the rest o' the story at this point.
It's all Harry's fault
Yup.
At least 11 innocent people dead because of his inaction...
Loved this story, but it's main antagonist should've been
Grindelwald or else it makes little sense. How could a ruthless
Harry (that understands war and what it's necessary to end it)
continuously make the mistake of letting Tom become strong
enough to start another war again? If not for some plot
convenience, harry would've killed/erased Tom's
memory/found a way to bind his magic and be done with it.

Some people have something called "morals". Which
kinda include killing a minor who at this point did
nothing that would justify his death. The future is not
fixed.
Explain that, please?
My man thinks that it's Harry's fault just because he didn't
kill Riddle when he was young.
I'm ambivalent to it. It might not be ideal but as
ruthless as he has become, Harry wouldn't kill a
child, and by the time he was an adult he had
Hogwarts' protection at first. And Harry did spend
decades searching for Riddle after he ran, it just so
happened that he became good at hiding.
