Chapter 2

New Beginnings

Harry awoke with a searing pain on his forehead. His scar was burning once more. He had, had another dream pertaining to Voldermort again, but this was different. Strange, really, it was something to do with him having a daughter from the America's. He thought he was losing touch with himself and decided to go downstairs of his new home in Godric's Hollow, and get a glass of water. As he was standing at the counter, a thought suddenly struck him. What if Voldermort actually did have a child that no one knew about? Was it even possible, and how so? As Harry went through the memories of Voldermort that Dumbledore had shown him not so long ago before he was murdered, he never remembered anything of that sort. But was it really possible? After this many years, and no one ever knew? That would be nothing short of... genius. He decided to send an owl to the new Headmistress of Hogwarts and see what she thought.

He went over to his study room and quickly began writing.

Dear Headmistress,

It's me, Harry and yes I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking in your last letter. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but I've been so busy moving out on my own and all. Anyways enough with that. I have an interesting and unique question for you. Now before you quickly dismiss this question, all I ask of you is to please just investigate it if you will. As for my question, which I have good reason for asking, is it possible that Voldermort had an heir? I mean, in a blunt way, a child? Look I know this sounds like a ludicrous question but please understand, like I said before, I have good reason for asking this so could you please not just wave this off, actually look into this. I will explain in due time but for now, let's keep this between us.

With care,

Harry Potter

He sealed the letter and told Hedwig that she needed to move with urgency, and sent her on her way. He went to his kitchen and found that someone had Flooed over to his new home. But he didn't see anyone in sight. He quickly summoned his wand to him, as his wand flew into his hand he heard a strange yet familiar voice. He went into his commonroom and found none other that Lord Voldermort setting on the couch. He quickly raised his wand ready for a battle, and still filled with rage of the years of hell he caused him. But to Harry's surprise he just laughed, and quickly said,

"Now, Now Harry. Relax I'm not here to kill you. Not yet at least. Relax. I just wanted to congratulate you for figuring out my little secret. You didn't think you dreamt what you saw last night on purpose now did you? If you thought so, then boy you need to smarten up some more or you will end up dead sooner that I want you to." He laughed somemore.

Harry oddly enough did relax. He knew that Lord Voldermort wasn't here to kill him after all, if he was, he wouldn't have been so open, and cocky.

"Alright, what do you want Voldermort? Haven't you caused me enough hell for 17 years? After all, you got what you wanted, you'll fight me with none of my protect, you've worked so well at killing 'em all off anyway." He said with the same cockiness as he opened his cigarettes and lit one up.

"My, my. Smoker now Harry? I sure didn't drive your stress level to that did I?" He said as he laughed.

Harry played along and laughed too.

"As a matter of fact you did. Want one?" He said throwing him one.

"Well, alright. You know," he said as he lit his with the tip of his wand, "you and I could be great together. Together we could rule the world because you want to know why?"

Harry was silent but listening to his pathetic excuse.

"Because we are the same person, you just happen to choose the path of the hero, and I, just want to rule the world, and hurt anyone who thinks any different of me doing that. But now I have something you know about that could affect me doing that."

"The child. Tell me something Voldermort, boy or girl?" he said with a scoff.

Voldermort, gritted his teeth but put on a sly smile.

"A girl, Aroara Atlantis Winsor. I insisted that she keep her mother's last name so she would never be tracked back to me. It was for her protection you see. As I grew older, I knew my chances for a child were diminishing, so when found the woman I knew would be the perfect suitor for my child, I changed into my younger handsomer self, so I could achieve getting my heir. And now, 17 years soon to be 18 years later, I have a beautiful and talented witch daughter. Let me tell you something, if you saw her, you would be knocked off your feet. I know your little friend Draco is. Hell that poor boy didn't stand a chance when they were babies playing in the sand box together, he has always loved her, and he will again in due time. Once she gets him to lose that wretched Pansy Parkinson."

Harry could help but to burst out in laughter at this silly notion. Draco Malfoy loves? Yeah and Harry was shagging that American hottie Misha Barton.

"You laugh now, but you won't once you see them in school."

"I'm actually not returning." Harry said defiantly.

"Oh you will, because Aroara's going there this year, it's her final year, and she'll want to be with Draco."

"Ready to give yourself away already? I'm surprised."

"Oh they won't realize she's my child until's too late to stop my plans."

"What about me? I know the truth, don't you think they'll believe me?"

"No. They won't but they will. In the end. Well, I could stay here and chat all day, but I need to check on my daughter and Draco. So I'll be seeing you later. And thanks for the cigarette, here's a new pack, you'll need 'em." He said as he Flooed out of Harry's home.

Harry had all he could do not to follow him and kill him on the spot. But he resisted the urge. He'll have his chance in due time.

Just then Hegwig returned back with a note attached to her leg. It was the reply he wanted. He opened it and the reponse was less than pleasing. Lord Voldermort was right she didn't believe him. And she included a list of the school books and supplies he would need this year.

"Great. Looks like I'll be heading back to Hogwarts after all."

Aroara awoke the next morning hoping everything that happened the night before would be just a dream, but to her surprise it wasn't. She saw Draco in the rocking stiring in his sleep, he was waking up too. Just then she heard a knock on the door, and her father entered the room.

"Wake up my dear girl. Lots to do today. You and Draco are going school shopping today."

Aroara hated being woke up in the morning but in this strange environment was just unbearable.

"Come again?" she asked.

"Yeah, I was planning on go school shopping with Pansy actually, it's suppose to be our alone time, seeing how we barely saw each other all summer." Draco said nervously.

"See father, Draco can't take me. Besides, this is temporary right? As in me staying here and all. I mean, I'm only visiting aren't I?"

Lord Voldermort smiled. His daughter was baffled.

"No, my precious girl. You're here to stay. You'll be finishing your schooling here at Hogwarts like I did."

"I'll be doing WHAT!" she exclaimed in anger.

"Well I'll be going now." Draco said as he tried to make a quick exit but Lord Voldermort stopped him.

"Not so fast Mr. Prince of the Malfoy and Slytherin thrown's. Your going to take my daughter with you and she'll see Pansy again. Maybe this time they'll actually get along but I doubt it. As for you, young Heiress of Darkness, you'll go school shopping today. If you don't, well I can always arrange for other things to be done. Gosh that old garden looks so over grown. I'd hate to take your wand away and make you do it the muggle way."

Aroara filled with anger and rage. She hated her father right about now and made it known when she shaddered the windows in the room.

"Tisk, tisk, what a temper my little witch. Now suck it up and get ready. I've already told miss Parkinson what's going on and she agreed after some persuion. She should be here any moment now. She'll be apperating here of course. So I'll be off I have things to do, but first Draco a little word please."

Draco then followed the Dark Lord out into the hall where he then slammed Draco into the wall. A evil threat came hissing from his lips.

"If you ever make me look stupid again, in front of my daughter, my followers, anyone, I swear I will kill you, your mother and I'll arrange your father's death in Azkaban. The only reason why your family is still alive including your stupid father is because your going to finish what he couldn't because he was dumbass and got caught. The only reason I have spared your life is because your mother and your weak father begged me too. That's the reason why you work for me now. Besides if I killed you and Aroara found out, she'd never forgive me. So count your blessing, you've got it easy considering the others would have been killed if I weren't so gracious." He let him grip on Draco go and told him to go get dress for the outing. Draco took a hard swallow and ran in to his room. Lord Voldermort continued on his way.

Once Draco got to his room he slammed his door and start to punch things. Anything he could find became the object of his uncontrollable rage, soon after he found himself on the floor crying, unable to control himself or his crazy emotions. It became clear Aroara heard the events and came stumbling into his room. The next thing Draco knew, she was lifting him up off the floor and helped him over to his bed. She sat down beside him and began to talk.

"He threatened you didn't he?" she said with a hint of saddness.

"I don't want to talk, let's just get ready to go Pansy should be here any moment now." he said looking out the window next to his bed.

"I'm already here Draco." They both turned around to the door to see Pansy standing in the door with suspensions written all over her face

Draco wiped away his tear from his face, quickly went over to her, gave her a kiss and hug.

"Hey, sweetie how have you been? Did you get here alright?" He asked trying to sound unphased.

"Yeah, I'm fine I wasn't followed here either." she answered back bluntly.

"Well hun, you know the Dark Lord's daughter, Princess Aroara. At his personal request, she's coming school shopping with us."

"Yeah, I know. The Dark Lord has informed me, and invited my services to help her." She said with a not so pleasant voice.

"Oh shut the hell up you pug-faced bitch, I'm not too thrilled about you coming along for the ride but I'll deal with you only because Draco is my friend, correction my best friend, so get off his dick long enough to know that this isn't about you. It's about what my daddy dearest wants, so just suck up those balls." With that Aroara angrily stormed out of the room.

"What the fuck crawled up her ass? And what does she mean she's your best friend? You two haven't even seen each other for over 10 years! You know if she weren't the Dark Lord's heiress I'd beat the hell out of her." Pansy said ready to go after her. Draco grabbed her by the throat and slammed her into the wall.

"You stupid foolish bitch, don't you ever say that shit again! I will kill you if you even harm on hair on her head. She is one of the reasons why I'm alive. You have no idea what kind of shit you will bring on if he ever heard you say that. Smarten up bitch before you get yourself and maybe me killed. Besides, she will always be my best friend for reasons you will never understand. So shove off already and stop trying to be controlling over me. Just because she's a girl and my best friend doesn't mean I'm screwing her. Why do you always think shit like that anyway?" Draco hissed.

Pansy, feeling threatened, kneed him in the groan. Draco lost his grip on her instantly. He began coughing insanely, and dropped to the floor.

"Don't think you can threaten me just because you're the Dark Lord's charity case." She left the room and decided to wait in the private study room. Draco, unable to think clearly reached for his wand and began to say an unforgivable curse, but stopped himself when he saw Aroara staring at him from the doorway of her room.

"Hey please continue. Don't let me stop you. Shit if you do it, I'll save your ass and take credit for it." she said with a smile on her face.

Draco unable to think just got up off the floor, and shut his door so he could get ready to go.

"Well looks like there's always trouble in paradise for those two. But that bitch Pansy always brings it on no doubt about it. I'll fix that problem, don't worry about that." she said to herself as she went to the private study to wait for Draco.

Once Aroara arrived at the private study room, she saw Pansy sitting in the office chair behind the desk looking out the window. Her back was turned so she wasn't looking at the entrance of the room, but she knew Aroara was there.

"Saw what happened did you?"

"So what if I did? I don't care but Draco does have a point you know. But if your that hellbent on trying to kick my ass, I'll give you the free opportunity right now." Aroara said throwing off her jacket, and taking off her earrings and rings.

"Are you serious?" Pansy asked with a laugh.

"Well if you insist." She said getting out of the chair, and started removing the same things that Aroara was removing.

Aroara did a quick clearing of the room charm to make room for the fight. When she was done, she made a quick rule.

"Only rule is, no magic or objects."

"Agreed." Pansy said as she sucker punched Aroara in the face.

Aroara, after she turned back to face Pansy started to laugh.

"I admit, you got a nice punch but nothing compares to mine." With that she punched Pansy in the gut hard, then as Pansy kneeled over to her injury, Aroara punched her in the face so hard that Pansy flew through the air and landed on her back. Aroara, stood back with satisfaction on her face and waited for her opponent to get on her feet and fight back. Pansy managed to stagger back on her feet and laughed as blood dripped from her lips. She went after Aroara with all her strength and started punching her in the face, and Aroara started doing the same thing, they fell to the floor and Aroara was on top of her holding her by the hair and punching her in the face repeatedly. Finally after a few more minutes Aroara and Pansy stopped when they saw someone at the door watching the fight. Aroara gave Pansy one more final punch in the face and almost knocked her out before she got up and said,

"Ok now you got your fight, you got your ass handed to you, will you let it rest now?" Aroara said with a smile.

Pansy was trying to get off the floor with blood coming out of her nose and lips, and she said,

"You think this is over? You were the little bitch that didn't allow magic."

"I did this because if you even put up a half way decent I would have allowed a duel. But seeing how you didn't, your not even worth a magic duel. But I will admit, you do have a good punch, but it weren't good enough. Here's some advice, go and work on some new shit, and build your muscles up. Then I might fight you again. Alright?" Aroara said as Draco started clapping in the doorway.

"I told you Pansy, don't mess with her. But didn't you listen to me? Nope, instead you kneed me in the balls, so for that I must let you know. I don't think this can work out. I can't be with a girl who will do that to me. After all I have to make an heir for the Malfoy thrown before I die." He said with a chuckle.

"You're a dumbass Draco, you're the one who grabbed me by the throat! Or are we forgetting that already?" She shot back at him.

"Good point, but what did I say upstairs when you said that shit about Aroara?"

"That she's your best friend and blah blah. But what you don't tell her is in your Pensive. I suggest you take a look in his Pensive later on when you can. I think it might shock you dear girl." With that she laughed, collected her things, and apperated out of the manor.

"What the hell was she on about now?" Aroara asked with curiosity.

Draco shifted uncomfortably, and simply waved it off.

"Never mind her, I swear some times she's on crack. Though, I haven't been able to prove it yet." With that they both laughed and walked out of the room. As they continued on down the hall, Draco complimented her on her fighting skills. She told him she picked it up from watching movies such as, "Fight Club", and "Million Dollar Baby." When Draco asked her what movies were, the both started to laugh again and decided it was time to apperate to Diagon Alley.

As soon as they apperated there they noticed a whole bunch of people outside the bookstore Florish and Blotts, as they walked to the crowd many people turned their attention on them and started whispering things and backing away slowly. Aroara, suddenly started feeling nervous and became jumpy, she tugged on Draco's arm and whispered,

"Draco something's not right, we should leave and come back later when things aren't so tense." Draco was taken back by such a request.

"Why, you're his daughter, you shouldn't worry, nobody knows who you are and even if they did, they wouldn't be stupid enough to try anything stupid. Don't worry you'll be fine." Draco said with relaxation in his voice.

Once they made it through the crowd they ran into Crabbe and Goyle, who seemed out of breath trying to break their necks getting to Draco.

"Uh, Draco maybe it's not a good idea for you to be here." Goyle said nerviously.

Draco became deadly serious and asked,

"Why not? I haven't done anyting wrong."

Aroara, who was reading something on the wall suddenly said,

"Because, the Ministry of Magic is looking for you for questioning." She said as she pointed to his picture on the wall.

Draco turned his head sharply to look at the poster, once he read it Crabbe said,

"Draco you may want to leave right now actually," he said motioning to the window as Aurors came running to Florish and Blotts bookstore.

"Time to go." Draco said as he grabbed Aroara's hand in his and took off running upstairs of the bookstore. They flew past the librarian and ran through the bookshelf's until Draco led them to the fire place. He handed Aroara some Floo powder, and told her to go to the Malfoy Manor he would be there after her. She did as he told her. And was soon in the Malfoy Manor. She waited for what seemed to be forever, before he finally came there.

"Ok Draco, why are they looking for you?" she asked with confusion in her voice.

"First things first, I need to talk to Lord Voldermort about this then I'll tell you. Come on." With that they both walked down stairs to his father's private study room, where Lord Voldermort was sitting at the desk waiting for them.

"Well, that was fast, I hope you both got everything you needed."

"Well, no we were ran out of there due to unforeseen circumstances." Draco said.

"Oh, really what kind boy?" he asked with annoyance in his question.

"Aurors, Lord. Were looking for me. The Ministry wants me for questioning."

Lord Voldermort suddenly stiffened with anger.

"Alright here's what we do. You go there tonight, you turn yourself for questioning and tell them I put you under the Imperious Curse, that's why you were involved in Dumbledore's death, but right before you were about to use an Unforgivable Curse, you snapped out of the curse, for some reason you managed to break out of the curse. You lowered your wand, and was about to go to Dumbledore for help against me, but that's when someone came in and must have killed Dumbledore. But you have no idea who because you were knock unconscious, when they came up. I'll implant that memory in your head so incase they try to use a truth serum on you. They'll believe you on that account after that. It's Ministry procedure. They really to heavily on that now a days." He said as he approached Draco with his wand pointed at his temple. He then muttered a few words and suddenly Draco, felt better about something it seemed.

"How do you feel young Draco?" Lord Voldermort asked with smile on his face.

Draco started laughing uncontrollably, like he was high off weed or something.

"I feel goooooooooooddd..." He said laughing again.

"Father what the hell did you do to him!" Aroara said catching Draco before he fell over.

"Oh simple memory modifying charm. Nothing to much he can't handle. Correction, nothing he hasn't felt before. Right Draco?" He said chuckling,

Draco started laughing,

"I have no idea what you mean man but I feel like I can fly."

"Right, Draco." Lord Voldermort said chuckling to himself.

"Well I'm going to take him to his room, and let him sleep it off." With that Aroara walked him to his room.

"You know your sooo fly Aroara., damn your hot, why don't you keep me company girl? I'll make sure your so pleased you'll never think of any other man ever again. What do you say?" Draco said as he bursted out laughing again.

"Maybe not Draco. Ok here we go." She said as she threw him on the bed. As soon as she tucked him he was out like a light. She sighed in relief, 'What a pain in the ass,' she thought. Her attention was soon turned over to the corner of the room, where she saw his Pensive.

'Hmm... now lets go see what Pansy and everything else meant." She said as she walked over to it and stuck her head inside it. What she saw, shocked her in more ways than one. Then again she did some of the very same things she was seeing in there.
