A/N: Since the last chapter was a short one like this one I decided to update faster than I usually do. For those of you reading Life Not Worth Living do not fear as soon as the final chapter is done I will update that fic.

For those that haven't read my profile and might be wondering which ships will be in it I will list them here. As I said in my profile if any of these ships offend you, you might not want to continue reading this.

The main pairing will be Harry/Tonks in later fics in the series, but since she isn't born as of yet I have added a few other ships to keep Harry 'busy.'
Harry/Original Characters
Harry/Narcissa
Harry/Bellatrix
Harry/Lily

Slash&Burn: When I first posted the story I placed the information in my profile giving the details of the ships involved, and a summary of what to expect. I did forget to put Harry/OC on the list, but since have added that. Though I want it clear that there are multiple ships involved, but the main one is and has always been Harry/Tonks. Though it was a bit hard to keep that ship in place when the witch wasn't even born yet. ;) I have decided to include the list in my AN just in case there are some that haven't seen it yet.

Right now the eras are going to be moving along at a pace that gets through the years that have little to no action other than training and becoming more powerful. This fic will cover from 1940-1990, and for the most part it will move through the fifty years fast because there are only certain points where things need to be clearly outlined. You will find that later chapters in this story become rather long when compared to these shorter ones I have been putting up. My chapters are not era oriented they are subject (theme) oriented, so they do not end until that subject or theme is completed to my satisfaction. I will however stop this fic in 1990 right when Remus and Tonks get their memories, but it will be picked up in the sequel to this fic (The Dark Order Series: Year One). That is when I will slow down the speed in which I explain what happens because it will cover 1990 and Harry's 'first' year at Hogwarts. Then each sequel following will explain his school years the same as The Dark Order Series: Year One will explain his first year.

You shouldn't fast when waiting for my next update because the next one may not come as quick as this one did. ;)

Shadow of the black abyss: Thanks for reviewing.

Silverscale: Thanks for the review and again thanks for the much needed laugh. Though it would be nice if you had a comment or question too lol.

Shadowed Rains: I wouldn't say he is a fool as much as I would say that he is a glory hog looking for attention and wanting to the big hero. Though he is foolish in some of the things that he thinks are smart ways of getting what he wants.

Chapter Thirteen: New Potions Teacher

Summer of 1945
Harry graduated from Hogwarts as Victor Drake and got as high of marks as Tom Riddle did. Harry instructed Tom to go after his father and then disappear from the Wizarding world and prepare to be one of the greatest Dark Lords the world had ever known. Harry knew that Tom would be out of circulation for a good fifteen years, so he wouldn't have to worry about him.

Harry had one more thing to handle before he allowed Tom to disappear. He wanted to get a container with Tom's blood in it, and after he got it he obliviated Tom's memory of it, so he wouldn't know that Harry had his blood.

With Tom out of the way Harry could focus on more pressing issues. Even though the Chameleon Belt worked good to take identities he wanted more. He wanted to be able to transform into different beings and he knew to be able to do that he had to locate the right book.

This meant that Harry would have to gain access to the Ministry of Magic and in order to do that he would have to kill another person. First though Harry decided he had to figure out who would serve his purpose the best.

Harry Apparated to the Ministry of Magic and made his way inside in the form of a shadow, so he would be unnoticed by the witches and wizards inside. He drifted among them unnoticed as he drifted towards the play where he was sure there would be a library. He hoped that he could find what he was looking for without having to kill anyone because he wasn't too keen on killing wizards without a really good reason.

As he drifted into the large ministry library he flowed around aimlessly looking for the book he needed. After hours of searching he found that there were quite a few books inside that he would care to read.

Some were small enough that he could read them right there without being spotted, but a few were huge tomes that he wouldn't be able to read without getting caught, so he decided to steal them. He transfigured a useless book into a satchel and then quickly placed the tomes inside it and shrunk it down to fit in his pocket before he turned back into a shadow.

After stealing the books he wanted he quietly drifted out of the Ministry of Magic unnoticed and he had managed it all without killing a single wizard. He might be a thief, but he wouldn't be a murderer without a good reason.

Harry decided that living with Amber Drake was fine when he was still in school, but now that he was out he had the desire to start building his empire. To do that he would need to get a castle to use as his headquarters. He wanted a big castle to use as a Dark Castle and it had to have dungeons in it, so he could hold captives and brew potions.

Harry looked into Grindelwald's memories more after he heard what Dumbledore said about making Grindelwald. Harry found out that Dumbledore went to see Grindelwald when he was still in school, and it was Dumbledore who put the idea of killing in his mind. Dumbledore wanted Grindelwald to start a small war between German and England that way he could bring an end to it and be a real big hero.

Grindelwald was worried about his daughter, so he sent her to England where she would hide while the war was underway. Grindelia lived with her Aunt in London, but Harry didn't feel he needed to check into her in any way. He figured that she would be better off not knowing that he killed her father.

Harry also found that Grindelwald had a small mansion in German and a private castle in Transylvania. Harry Apparated to the mansion and once he was outside of it he turned into a shadow just in case people were around the mansion. Harry drifted inside and found that it was deserted for the most part. There were a few members of his family there including his daughter Grindelia. As Harry looked at her he lost all control of his mind as he looked at her beauty. He was lost in her sparkling green eyes as looked at her from his hidden hideaway.

For some reason Harry couldn't get Grindelia out of his mind as he Apparated to the castle in Transylvania. The castle was empty for the most part except for one follower and when Harry saw the follower he knew he was in trouble.

Sharon Letum sat in the throne room of the castle, the room where Grindelwald sat when he talked to his followers. Harry turned from his shadow form into his Victor Drake persona. He then made his way into the room where he looked at Professor Letum.

"Victor, how did you get here?" Letum asked as she stood up and walked over to Harry.

Harry looked at her for a moment. "I Apparated in here, the same way I Apparated into Grindelwald's bunker."

Letum looked at Harry with a shocked look on her face. "What do you mean you were in his bunker?"

Harry waved his hand and made Sharon's robes disappear with wandless magic. She stood there with just her bra and panties on. He then grabbed her arm and muttered an incantation and the mark of the nazi disappeared. "I mean that I was the one who really killed Grindelwald. I just modified Dumbledore's mind to think that he killed the Dark Lord."

Sharon was again shocked by what she heard. "Why? Why would you do something like that?"

Harry laughed in an insane manner. "Isn't it clear yet?"

"Victor why?" Sharon screamed as she went to the throne and collapsed.

Harry laughed again as he looked at the barely covered professor. "The name is Lord Ragnarok."

Sharon looked at Harry with disbelief in her eyes. "You're a Dark Lord?"

Harry stepped forward and looked at Sharon with a glaring stare. "Now you're getting it Sharon. So now you have a choice serve me like you did Grindelwald or be obliviated of all memories and sent off somewhere that you can't reveal this information."

Sharon had a look of lust in her eyes as she stood up and wrapped her arms around Harry's neck. "Lover I would serve you in any way you want."

Harry had Sharon stick her arm out and he applied his new mark on her. It was almost like Rettop's mark, but a bit different. Harry used a lightning bolt inside of a pentagram as his mark, and like Rettop's once the mark was on her arm it disappeared from the naked eye.

Sharon looked at her arm and grinned. "How did you make it invisible?"

"It's a secret." Harry said and grinned as he looked at Sharon. "Now I have work to do, I am thinking of using this castle as my headquarters."

Sharon looked at Harry for a moment and a look of fear fell over her. "You do know this castle is cursed right?"

Harry thought a minute and then realized what she meant by that. The castle was located in the middle of a dark forest, where there were dark creatures all around. Though Grindelwald never knew if they were really there or not it was believed that there was a group of vampires nested within the forest. "It is only a rumor Sharon, there hasn't been any proof."

Sharon stilled had a look of concern on her face. "Well I know that three of Grindelwald's followers disappeared when they went outside at night. I don't know if the vampires are really nested here or if the other dark creatures are around here."

Harry laughed at the comment as he walked over to the throne and sat down pulling Sharon down on to his lap. "If they are here then I will make them serve me or they will die, so there is no need to worry about that."

Harry spent a few weeks changing the castle to meet what he wanted it to be. The castle was perfect as the dungeon was set up with a potions lab and a standard dungeon, which was good for holding any captives that were brought in.

After he completed the castle he went back to England and sent Sharon back to Hogwarts were she was still employed so she would not be suspected of any wrongdoing.

April 30, 1960
Harry spent the next fifteen years building growing in power and planning how he would best bring down Dumbledore and his precious order. Harry knew he would have to buy his time until he brought down the light side. He also had to worry about the dark side even if he was now part of it.

Harry still couldn't get over the feelings he felt toward Grindelia Grindelwald, and when he found out that she was pregnant he decided to go check it out. However he found out that Grindelia Grindelwald had died during childbirth and her daughter was sent to an orphanage.

Harry went into denial after finding out that she was dead and he went into hiding inside his castle. He didn't want to be bothered by anyone and he needed time to sort through all his feelings and rage.

1970
Harry spent ten years getting into a better position to claim his role as the most powerful Dark Lord. Harry went to the United States for a while trying to get away from England for a while, while he sorted out a lot of things that were rushing through his head.

While in America Harry honed his Necromancy skills to the point that he created a better killing curse. Harry took what he knew about the Avada Kedavra curse and how it killed and made it so when anyone was killed with his killing curse he would absorb the person's life force to add it to his own, so he could stay young. It was also designed to draw the magical essence out of people, so it would replenish his magical reserves. He called the spell Necro Kedavra and it was every bit as deadly as its brother the Avada Kedavra curse. When someone killed by Necro Kedavra is examined, it appears that the person died of a heart attack. Necro Kedavra leaves no traces of magic when tests are done on the body.

Also while in America Harry went to the American Ministry of Magic and was hired as a Hit Wizard. This gave Harry a chance to bring down dark wizards and it also gave him a chance to grow in power. Not to mention that he was getting paid well too, so the income from it was great.

When 1970 came Harry knew that Voldemort would be returning to the Wizarding world and he wanted to be back in England to greet his old friend. Harry was going to resign from the American Ministry, but the President of the ministry decided to transfer him to England instead.

Harry knew he needed to find a way to get back into Hogwarts, and he really didn't feel like entering as a student again, since he would have to do that when he got to 1990. Harry thought about it for a while, and finally he had the perfect plan to get back into Hogwarts.

September 1 1971
Dumbledore and the rest of the Hogwarts staff sat at the head table and waited as the first years were brought into the Great Hall to be sorted. Harry listened to the sorting hat begin into his rhyme for the year telling how all the houses should come together in the time of need. One by one Harry watched as the first year students were brought up to the seat and had the sorting hat placed on their head to see which house they would be in.

Harry watched as Black, Bellatrix was called up to be sorted and was in awe about how she looked at that age. He felt a lot of rage towards her for what she did to Sirius, but he was willing to put that behind him since she wouldn't get another shot at killing Sirius, not this time around. Harry then heard the hat shout "Slytherin!"

Harry grinned to himself knowing that she would turn out to be a real Slytherin in time. Harry continued to watch as Black, Sirius was called up to be sorted. Harry felt a lump in his throat as he looked at Sirius. He couldn't help, but feel the pain of watching his godfather die, but he knew it would be different this time. "Gryffindor!"

Harry watches as Sirius headed for the Gryffindor table as Evans, Lily was called to the front. As Harry watched his mother make her way towards the sorting hat and image of Grindelia popped into his head and he couldn't believe that Grindelia and Lily looked so much like. Harry projected his mind out to Lily and could feel Lily fighting with the hat. Harry knew it wanted to put her in Gryffindor but Lily wanted to be in Ravenclaw, so Harry decided to help his mother. "Ravenclaw!"

Harry grinned to himself as he saw the joy on his mother's face as she walked over to the Ravenclaw table. Albus Dumbledore didn't look too happy about it, but finally he clapped along with the rest of the staff.

Lestrange, Rastaban and Lestrange, Rudolphus were both put into Slytherin and Harry felt his rage for the build and he knew that they would have to suffer for what they did in his time.

Harry again felt the bite of pain hit him as Lupin, Remus made his way over to the sorting hat. Harry knew that one day Remus would remember all the future events that Harry remembered. He wished that he was himself now, but he knew he wasn't. "Gryffindor!"

As Pettigrew, Peter was called up Harry felt a sting of rage for the rat, but as he looked at him he knew that this Peter wasn't the traitor he would one day become. "Gryffindor!"

Harry felt another sting of pain as he saw Potter, James make his way over to get sorted. The boy was arrogant even at eleven, but Harry was happy to see his father alive. "Gryffindor!"

Snape, Severus was called up and Harry grinned to himself as he thought about how the Death Eater turned spy for the Order of the Phoenix, only to turn on them and join him in the future. "Slytherin!"

Harry looked around as the final students were sorted and he saw Narcissa Black sitting by Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy had a smug look on his face, which was really not a shock. What shocked Harry was how beautiful Narcissa Black was and he could see why he liked Tonks so much.

After the last student was sorted Albus Dumbledore stood up and looked over the students in the Great Hall. "Welcome once again to another great year here at Hogwarts. I would like to take a moment now to introduce you to the new potions teacher for this year as Professor Letum retired at the end of last year. So I am proud to announce that Professor Drake will be taking over as the potions teach and the head of Slytherin House."
