"I'm sure Liviana can apparate Miss Granger here if you like, Severus owled me and said she went off on Dumbledore saying that he's trying to get you killed and that it's not safe with your muggle relatives," Xyrissa explained.
"That would be great," Harry smiled.
"Yes I get to kidnap a muggleborn," Liviana smiled with an evil grin on her face.
Chapter Two: Best Friends
Liviana had disapparated five minutes ago, and the room was filled with mixed emotions as Voldemort… no Tom Riddle explained what had happened in the past 14 years to Lily and James. Harry's head was spinning; Voldemort was his soul mate, his parents were alive, and Dumbledore was a bastard. Tom could sense his emotions, though the link of the soul bond, and summoned a glass of water.
"I know this is a lot to take in," Tom spoke softly, handing Harry the water.
"That's stating the obvious, but it's kind of what I always wanted. My parent's, real friends, and someone who does care that I'm famous for something so stupid," Harry said, before slowly beginning to drink the water.
"So, Dark Lord what should we know about you," Lily asked taking a sit next to her son.
"Well," Voldemort began only to be cut off by Harry.
"His name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, he was top of his class went to Hogwarts, Head Boy too, Heir of Slytherin, half-blood, and he was raised in a muggle orphanage," Harry explained.
"You seem to know a lot about me," Tom said, his eyes narrowing on the Raven haired boy.
"Research, Hermione and I did second year. I realized you and I had a lot in common. We're both Parselmouth, half-bloods, and raised by magic fearing muggles," Harry said.
"It does seem that way," the Dark Lord nodded.
"Let's cut the small talk, do you want to kill muggle-borns?" James finally said.
"DAD," Harry exclaimed.
"It quiet alright, I did when I became Dark Lord, but my plans have changed greatly since then. My Plan is to bring muggle-borns in to the world after birth," He explained.
"And take them away from loving families?" Lily asked in horror.
"Mrs. Potter, you are one of the few muggle-borns to have a loving family. Most are believe to be demons and are either disowned or abandon. Think about how your sister treated you; now imagine your parents and most likely other siblings. Around 70% of the Muggle families in England are Christians; so seeing their child doing these magical things it can go one of two ways. The first is that there is some kind of saint and the other is that they are possessed by some kind of demon. 1 out of 5 muggle-borns are the first one. And in a rare moment you'll get a Muggle-born treated like a normal child. "
"He's right Percy's ex girlfriend Penelope said her parent use to take her to church and tried to cast the demon out of her. That's why most muggle-borns don't go back home, after they leave Hogwarts," Harry said in agreement.
Not too soon Liviana apparated into the room, with a screaming Hermione Granger. Liviana seemed very amused as the girl yelled at her.
"WHERE IS HARRY? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM?" Hermione yelled.
"He's right behind you," Liviana giggled walking over to her mother.
"Harry! I was so worried! The twins wrote me and told me you're missing, and the Order found your Uncle dead and you where missing. I started to panic, and Dumbledore wasn't doing anything, he said you were most likely dead already; the Weasley's agreed, the two face bastards after all you did for them. The twins left to look for you, and Padfoot is searching around Privet Drive. Professors Lupin and Moody are still missing and who is that scary girl," Hermione said it all very fast.
"It's okay 'Mione, I'm fine. Yes, I know Vernon is dead, and that Dumbledore and the Weasley's aside from the older ones are backstabbing money hungry lying bastards. Oh and that's Liviana, she's Professor Snape's daughter," Harry explained calmly.
"Oh, well you know, she does look like him when you take a good look. Where are we?" Hermione's eyes finally leaving the raven haired teen, and fell on the mess haired man and the auburn haired woman. Her eyes widen.
"Mom, Dad, this is Hermione, my best friend." Harry said introduced Hermione.
"Oh my gosh, you're really Harry's parents! This is amazing! How is this possible, they are supposed to be dead," Hermione started to ramble again.
"Mione calm down, they were under a potion called Perpetua dormiens," Harry explains.
"Harry, that potion is nearly impossible to make. Only someone very powerful and a very skilled Potioneer…" Hermione said in disbelief.
"I believe the Dark Lord would count as those," Harry said with a curious tilt of his head.
"So you're telling me the Dark Lord VOLDEMORT didn't kill your parents. This makes no sense that HE TRIED TO KILL YOU FIRST YEAR AND LAST YEAR," Hermione yelled.
"Last year he didn't try to kill me… Wormtail did. I tried to grab him, when I got back to the port-key and he shot the Crucio at me," Harry frowned.
"And what about first year?" Hermione asked in disbelief.
"That was Quirrell; they shared a body, not magic." Liviana snapped.
"Livi," Xyrissa scolded.
"Sorry mother. My Lord may I go," Liviana said, turning to the darkly attractive man Hermione just noticed.
"Yes, I'll be calling you and Regulus later to my inner-circle," Tom said before Liviana disapparated.
"Oh my gosh, Harry I thought you said the Dark Lord had a snake face," Hermione whisper.
"He did! You did? What happen," Harry said looking over to the man.
"That is a very complicated serpentine form," Tom stated.
"Harry, you were right he is attractive," Hermione whispered.
"Yes, just tell my parents my first crush was in a guy in a diary," Harry glared.
Hermione blushed, at the amused smirked on the Dark Lord's face. Harry buried his face into his hands realizing what he just said. Lily smiled and giggled, pulling her son closer while James smiled.
"I think we should go find Sirius," Harry mumbled.
"Yes, I agree. But you haven't agreed to you rule beside me," Tom said eyes fixed to the raven haired boy.
"You know, Tom and I've already forgiven you. The only truth thing you've done to me is try to kill me when I was one. You are willing to give me the life I've want with my mother, father, and friend. So, I'll give you what you want, let's rule the world together," Harry smirked. Tom sent a smirk; wandlessly summoning a locket of heavy gold with a serpentine S in glittering green stone inlay on the front.
"This is the locket of Salazar Slytherin. It was my mother's, it has many protective charms. Once I put this on you, only I can remove it. It also protects against Legilimency," Tom explained.
Harry looked over at his parents, who gave him a hint of a smile and a small nod. Harry kneeled down in front of the Dark Lord. It had the sense of a prince being crowded, as the older man slipped the golden locket around the boys' neck. Harry looked up, and emerald met crimson; it was like a cloud cast on his mind was gone. He could see all the manipulating things Dumbledore had done. How his first and second years, were just tests of his loyalty, he had read his mind and seen the pain of his childhood. Dumbledore was the enemy, he had lied, used, and manipulated Harry and he would pay greatly.
Harry had apparated to Privet Drive, with James and Hermione was with Lily. Harry searched the house for any sign of the grim. Harry shivered and looked up and down Magnolia Crescent for a sign of his godfather.
"Lumos," Harry whispered, and a light appeared at the end of his wand, almost dazzling him. He held it over his head, and the pebble-dashed walls of number two suddenly sparkled; the garage door gleamed, and between them, Harry saw, quite distinctly, the hulking outline of something very big, with wide, gleaming eyes.
"Sirius," Harry yelped, as the dog pounced on him and transformed back into a man.
"Pup, you can't just runaway alike that," Sirius scolded pulling the boy closer.
"I was with Mum and Dad. Siri, they are alive. I found them," Harry said pulling Sirius.
"No Harry. They died; it must have been a trap. You Know Who is trying to trick you," Sirius said sadly.
"No, Prongs," Harry yelled, in the direction of his mother and father.
A magnificent stag galloped into view. Sirius' eye studied the charcoal black antlers and gazed into the deep hazel eyes; eyes he hadn't seen in almost 14 years. He watched those eyes as the stag transformed back into his best friend… no into his brother.
"Prongs?" he asked hoarsely. "You're alive?"
"Yea, Pads I'm alive," James whispered.
Sirius grabbed him, sobbing as he wrapped his arms around him, pulling him into a brotherly embrace. Sirius eyes filled, both with water and so much happiness and joy at seeing his best friend. When Sirius felt a pair of soft hands brush his face, wiping away his tears he didn't need to open his eyes to know that a pair of emerald eyes watching him.
"Lily," he said in a hoarsely whisper.
"Yes, it's me Sirius," Lily smiled softly.
"Prongs! Lily! Merlin, this is amazing! Harry you have a family," Sirius exclaimed.
"More then you know. We have to get to Remus before Dumbledore. Mum will take Hermione, Dad will take me and you will take Xyrissa," Harry explained.
"Rissa! Oi, what are you doing here? You look brilliant," Sirius smiled taking his cousins hand.
With a loud crack! They appeared right outside of a Cottage door, worn and beaten down. The Cottage was just as beaten down as the door. Harry and Sirius made their way to the door.
"Should—should we knock?" Harry asked his godfather.
Sirius nodded and knocked three times pausing and Harry added forth. The Marauder's knock Sirius had taught Harry and Ron this summer. The door flew open to reveal a worried looking Remus.
"Harry! Oh thank god, you're alright," Remus said, pulling Harry into a hug.
"I'm great. How did you know I was missing?" Harry said. Before Remus could answer, a snowy white owl flew out the Cottage and landed on Harry's shoulder.
"Hedwig! Hey girl, I'm okay," Harry cooed.
Remus gasped, when he noticed the four people behind them. There was a woman; this woman had brilliant green eyes and fiery red hair, tears streaming out of her eyes, and the deer was a magnificent stag, with bright hazel eyes and white spots on the belly.
He rubbed his eyes, once, twice, three times; pinched himself a couple more times, but…they were still there.
"Prongs?" he asked hoarsely. "Lily? You're alive?"
Remus grabbed them both, sobbing as they wrapped them both in huge hugs, pulling them inside the Cottage. Sirius and Xyrissa walked into the cottage behind them, followed by Hermione and Harry.
"Don't understand, how is this possible?" Remus shuddered.
"What really happened that night?" asked Sirius.
"Why don't you tell us the version everyone knows," James suggested.
"Can I tell it? I've read all the variations of that night," Hermione said smiling.
"Go for it Ganger," Harry smirked.
"The 31 of October 1981 James and Lily Potter were walking their one year old son Harry home, from seeing their good friend Bathilda Bagshot. The Dark Lord Voldemort suddenly appeared like silent death. James and Lily ran for their house, but the wards had fallen; the Fidelius Charm was broken. James told Lily to take Harry and run, beginning to duel with the Dark Lord. Lily took Harry and headed for the nursery, but she knew the dark lord had gotten the better of her husband. Seconds later the Dark Lord bust through the nursery and told Lily to stand aside not once, not twice, but three times. But Lily wouldn't let him harm her son, and the Dark Lord killed her. Then he turned his wand on the baby and tried to curse him. But it rebounded on him and his soul was torn from his body, leaving his body to turn to ash."
"Well that is one way to go," James said astounded, "The real story isn't half as good."
"We were drinking a bottle of champagne Peter got us for our anniversary. Harry was asleep in the nursery and we fall into a coma like state," Lily explained.
"The champagne was laced with Perpetua dormiens," Xyrissa suggested.
"Yes it would seem that way," Lily nodded.
"But if you didn't sacrifice yourself for Harry how did he survive the killing curse," asked Remus.
"It just so happens, our powerful son is the Dark Lord soul-mate," Lily said proudly.
"Wow Harry that's amazing. Soul-mates are really rare in wizards. Only really, really powerful wizards have soul mates, but Veelas, Vampires and … Werewolves have soul-mates," Hermione said and the room's eyes turned to Remus. Remus's face flushed and turned his gaze down.
"Oi, Moony you never told us who your mate is," James said looking at his friend.
"Well it's not important," said Remus, feeling slightly unease.
"Remus, my soul-mate is the Dark Lord Voldemort. I'm sure yours is much more…reasonable," Harry smirked.
"Well um, I could never tell him. I found the identity my soul-mate when I was 18. It was never the right time to mention it to him," said Remus sheepishly.
"Him is not a name, Uncle Moony," Harry said, his eyes dancing in amusement.
"My mate is the first wizard I kissed," Remus said looking over at Sirius who fainted.
"I can't believe he fainted," James shook his head in amusement.
