Dark Horizons
Chapter One
by
Julia Duvall
Author's Note: Richard is Harry's name for people who haven't read the prologue. (Shame on You) This takes place 14 years later, when Harry a.k.a Richard is fifteen years old. But we are opening up with Hermione, because he's been spying on her and he's not so innocent minded. Plus Voldemort has been pushing him much harder than ever before. I'm also introducing a new character, Rebecca Malfoy. (Yes, Draco has a sister who's a first year at Hogwart's)
****
Hermione Granger was sitting outside the door of her parent's house. She was very beautiful, Richard thought to himself. He had to have her. Ever since his father gave him a beautiful seeing mirror with gold handles on both ends and the ability to see whatever you wanted. He had to see her.
She was developing into a beautiful women he thought. Ron Weasley didn't deserve her. He had a plan this year. His father didn't want him to go to Hogwarts. Richard was already more advanced than most students were at that stupid school were or thought they were.
Then his father came in to his room. "Son, stop looking at the mud blood Granger. She's not for you. Listen to me, this new obsession is not good for you. Hermione is beneath us. At this age it's perfectly natural to be interested in young women. She goes to Hogwarts, but I can't let you go to school there. It's too dangerous. Very soon, you will be initiated into the Death Eaters, but not until you are 18. You must not let your guard down ever. Now get into the main room, we have guests to entertain and please put on your robes." His father said to him. Richard never saw signs of affection once from his father, Lord Voldemort.
Now Hermione was another story. She remained a source of endless fascination for him. He was intrigued by what other kids did for once. He was going to go this year to Hogwarts. Richard was going to tell his majesty. His majesty was what his father liked to be called. Never once did he socialize with anybody except Goyle, Crabbe, and Draco of all people.
Draco said to him once about Granger, which he didn't like; "Hermione was a dog that should be put out of it's misery. I tell you for crying out loud, mud bloods will be ruining the wizard bloodlines. I feel sorry for the man or wizard who marries that girl. This girl is the worst mud blood. Granger thinks that she knows everything. I've never met anyone as annoying her. Then there's the Weasley boy..." Draco was so good at throwing insults. He sometimes wondered what he said about him to Crabbe and Goyle.
Well his father was very rich, so he would grab some money and go into Diagon Alley and purchase some new robes. His father didn't mind. Ah Hermione, how sweet it would be to see you every day.
Then an owl came, it was beautiful. It was pure white. There were no snakes, like there were usually he noticed. Owl's never came to his room. He opened the window and it dropped a letter in his hands. It read "Richard Tromvolde." The letter was addressed to him, there was no return address, the owl was just staring at him. He opened up the letter and saw in writing,
Dear Mr. Tromvolde,
We are pleased to have gotten your application. You have been accepted
to Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Since you have been home
schooled, we looked over your test results and found that you will be entering your
fifth year. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September First. We await your owl no later than
July 31st.
Yours sincerely,

He couldn't believe this was happening. His father wasn't going to like this, but the hell with him. Voldemort knew what was right. Yet he just had to be close to Hermione. Smell her hair. He decided to write a letter back that he would go. That wasn't going to go over too well with his father, but his majesty would get along just fine in this huge mansion all alone.
He took out a piece of paper and wrote "Yes, I will be attending Hogwarts this fall." He gave the bird the letter and some crackers, which the bird loved with a great glee in his heart. Now it was time to play the part of the obedient son.
Crabbe Senior looked at Richard in his beautiful black and green robes. "Hello Richard or is it Harry?" Crabbe always did that for some weird reason. He didn't understand what was meant by that comment. "I hear Crabbe junior is going to Hogwarts, despite almost failing his fourth year. I tell you that I would get straight A's, if I went there."
Crabbe looked angry at him. Then he said, "You may be the son of my Lord, Richard. One day you're father will not be around to protect you. It would be wise not to insult those who support your father. He doesn't want you in Hogwarts because...well let's say it would be hazardous for you." Crabbe senior said in a threatening tone.
Lucius Malfoy then came in with his wife, Narcissa. Narcissa was a beautiful woman for her age. She knew how to treat him. Narcissa Malfoy treated him with respect and decency. All his father's supporters were rather oblivious to what he could really do with the exception of the Malfoy's. Narcissa and Lucius smiled at him. "Hello, Richard. Don't you look stunning? Please tell your father that we are here."
Richard (Harry smiled at her) with his brown eyes and saw something about her mood. She was in a good one. "Yes, I will."
He walked into his father's chambers, who got up and said to him, wrapping his arm around his waist. "You want the Granger girl to be here, don't you my son. It's okay to have sex with them. But never ever marry one or commit to one or fall in love. Love is dangerous. It makes you weak and sometimes dangerous ideas come into your head. Richard please tell the Malfoy's to come in." Voldemort said.
"Yes, your majesty." Richard said.
"Richard, I can tell you to be careful when you go to school this fall. I know what you did. Applying to Hogwarts and not telling me. Shame on you. But that's okay. I understand. Don't worry, I'm not mad at all. In fact, I'm..." Then he pointed a wand at him. "Crucio." He was in agonizing pain. "Furious at you. I'll tell you this Richard, Crabbe ever says Harry again to you I will kill him. He's trying to reveal things that he shouldn't. Harry was your birth name, but we had to change it, because Dumbledore tried to kill you when you were a baby. I understand your desires, but say you're sorry Richard." His father took Crucio off of him. He was in a lot of pain.
"I'm sorry, father. I just wanted to be like the other kids. Can I please go to Hogwart's? It would mean so much." He asked his father. "Besides, think of the trouble it would save you from always worrying about me." Richard knew how to manipulate his father into giving him what he want.
"Yes. You can go, Richard." Voldemort said. He looked at his son proudly and fondly. Maybe it was time to let him go there and socialize with other kids. Maybe he could gain more followers for their cause. "Me and you will go to Diagon Alley when school starts, Richard. In the meantime, whey don't you go out and greet our guests."
Voldemort liked how Richard withstood Crucio. His crush on that mud blood Hermione was what let him to do this. He just knew it. This was going to be interesting. Richard was strong.
***
Richard went outside and saw Rebecca Skye Malfoy sitting there. She had long beautiful blonde hair and smiled at him. He wasn't impressed. Rebecca seemed to be like a lapdog. Always wanting to please everybody. She was pretty though. Rebecca came up to him and slowly whispered in his ears. "Hello, Richard. It's nice to see you again. Why didn't you send word to me that you were moving again? This place seems nicer than your last house." She said with a seductiveness in her voice.
Richard knew that Rebecca's power had to be seducing men to get what she wanted. Rebecca was going to be a charmer. If she wasn't a Malfoy, he would strangle her. "Well, my father just decided to live here instead. The other place was too small according to him. I've got some news to tell you, but I think I'll keep it secret." He loved to taunt Rebecca. She was so annoying.
Rebecca frowned. She then slowly grabbed his hand and saw some bird marks in it. "You got a visit from an owl today. What type of owl was it, that visited you, Richard? Are you going to get one?" Rebecca was saying with delight in her voice. "Richard, please get one. All these snakes are dangerous." Rebecca hated snakes, but he loved them.
He rolled his eyes up in annoyance. Why was this girl so annoying? Why him? "Listen Rebecca, I have other things to deal with that are more important. Like getting ready to run my father's business one day. Plus the fact that I am studying all the time."
He told her trying to be serious.
Rebecca then laughed at him. "Oh please tell me another one. You make me laugh Richard. Your father home schools you, besides, I'm going to Hogwart's this year. I wonder what house I'll be sorted into. I hope it's Slytherin. I really don't want to be a Gryffndor or a Hufflepuff."
All he wanted was to scream to the rooftops, but surprising her would be much easier. He couldn't wait to see the looks on their faces. Most people knew him as the hermit's son, who was being sheltered. "You'll probably be in the same house as your brother Rebecca. So, I wouldn't worry about things like that."
She then gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I think I'll give you something special for that last remark Richard and gave him a bag with some powder in it."
"What's this?" He wondered what she had given him.
"Oh, that's a love potion, silly. Just a little Richard and you'll get the girl of your dreams." She then whispered. "Even if it's the Granger girl, Richie Tromvolde. She's easy pickings. I hear she's as pure as the driven snow." Rebecca told him. Then she added, "Like you'll ever get her. Your father will never let you be with a mud blood." She loved taunting him. Rebecca was only 11 years old, but she acted a lot older.
"We'll see about that." He said. Everyone was going to be shocked to see him at Hogwart's this year. Richard Tromvolde would be a student at Hogwart's. This was going to be fun.
To be continued....
AN 2: Next up, Voldemort and Richard (Harry) go to Diagon Alley together. That should be fun. Thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback, especially KPB.
