AN -

This is seriously AU - I have messed with a lot of different aspects of the Harry Potter World, You have been warned.

There is a lot of physical and sexual abuse and HEAVY Light Bashing. I haven't decided on any pairings, yet.

Disclaimer - The World of Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling, WB's and I am sure more. This is for entertainment only and I am making NO money from this.

_11/22/2015_ I am getting the feeling this is going to be long...I hope everyone bears with me as the story unfolds. I have a general idea where I am going with it...but the specifics are always the hard part.

The Dark Lord Voldemort sat in his private sitting room, a glass of chilled wine in his hand, thinking over the last hour and a half. He finally told Harry his story. The scenes moving through his mind as if he were viewing them in a pensieve.

~FLASHBACK~

Tom Riddle sat in his study, trying to work on the paperwork that was piling up. Dumbledore was trying to discredit him. He was not some evil goon merlin damnit, he just wanted to protect their world, Muggles were a danger. A knock sounded through the room.

"Enter" he looked up. A beautiful but frail looking women entered. He jumped up to assist her into a chair.

"Aleria, what are you doing up? You should be resting, this sickness has weakened you greatly." Aleria Selwyn-Riddle looked at her husband and smiled.

"Don't worry so Tom, the healers have been to see me, and we know what it going on" His head whipped back to her, worry clouding them despite her words.

"And?" He prompted, the suspense was dancing on his nerves.

"I'm pregnant darling" Her words shocked him at first, then a lazy smug grin spread across his face.

"Really?" He asked, hoping against hope that she wouldn't toy with him

"Really" She shrieked as he picked her up and twirled her around, kissing her soundly.

_His memory shifted forward_

"I'm sorry My Lord, I couldn't stop the bleeding, your wife is gone" His knees hit the floor as Severus and Lucius, his two best friends tried to comfort him he sobbed, even as the healer handed him his child, a small baby girl with wide eyes.

"Ill always protect you Iliana, always." The baby cooed gently at him.

_And Again_

Tom walked into the manor, not noticing how frantic people were, he had been hit by a slashing curse and was bleeding, and pissed. Fucking Dumbledore and his fucking Order of the Flaming Flamingos.

"My Lord" A women came running towards him.

"Not Now" He snapped.

"My Lord, please" She sounded scared and desperate. He turned and recognized her as one of the Nannies of the manor. Several of his followers had children needed care while they were out, his daughter included. It was then he realized the chaos around him.

"What has happened?" He spoke sharply, fear growing in his chest.

"We were attacked...I'm sorry my lord, but Iliana was taken, as was Draco Malfoy" The Dark Lords Magic flared dangerously.

"WHO, WHO WAS HERE?" He bellowed.

"I saw James Potter and the Longbottom couple."

He screamed in rage, then he spotted Lucius and Narcissa, Cissa collapsed into her husbands arms at the news their child was gone.

_The last memory made his shudder_

The door blew in at Godrics Hollow. "Lilly, take Harry and go! Its him! Go! Run!" James Potter threw a curse at him which he easily threw away and responded knocking the man out. The Potters were pawns for Dumbledore, he didn't want to cause undo harm.

From behind him another curse came hurtling forward, he threw himself down and quickly jumped up.

"Dumbledore! Where is she? Where is my daughter you old man?"

"You will NEVER get her back, she is safe, away from you." They began to duel in earnest. Dumbledore seemed to have no qualms doing this in a house with an innocent women and child. Tom didn't notice that Dumbledore seemed to be steering him upstairs until they were in a child's room.

"Not Harry, Please!" Lilly tried to shield her son, but Dumbledore deflected a curse that hit her knocking her to the ground.

"Really old man, harming innocents, and showing your true colors finally?"

"Oh NO ONE will think it was me."

Tom Bellowed out "Avada Kedavra" The green curse barreled towards the Headmaster, at the last moment it deflected and hit the small child in the crib. Then there was crippling pain as his spirit was ripped from him body.

His thoughts finally came back to him.

~END FLASHBACK~

He fled that house. He found out later that James and Lilly were both dead, blamed on him. The Longbottoms had been tortured into insanity, though not by the Lestranges as everyone thought. They had told Bella and Rodolphus where they could find Draco. He assumed Dumbledore had done it as a way of shutting the Lestrange couple up. No one had found his daughter though. Severus managed to convince the Headmaster he was switching sides because of the death of Lilly, his beloved. A snort escaped him, Severus never loved her, he wasn't even straight. The Headmaster really was foolish in so many ways. But he was pleased his friend had escaped punishment and was protected in a multi faceted way. Finally, just last year, he was able to reconnect with a piece of his soul he had stashed away in a diary. One of many Horcruxes he had created. Sadly Ginny Weasley had died trying to gain fame by killing him. She had overheard her brother and Harry talk about where the Chamber of Secrets was and figured out a way down there. Foolish child. His Basilisk had protected him fiercely.

Really this was all Dumbledore fault. He knew Tom hated muggles because of everything he faced while in the orphanage. And then finding his father, who rejected him, didn't help. The old man then coerced Tom into his bed. He started trembling, even now the memories bothered him. When Tom rebelled against the man, he turned cruel and mocking. When Tom refused to kill his Father, Dumbledore stole his wand and killed him...then forced him to watch the memory. He and his followers were certainly not innocent children, that was for sure, but they were nothing compared to the so called benevolent headmaster.

Voldemort sighed gently. Now what? He had a broken Harry Potter, and all he wanted to do was fix him. And still, he hunted for his daughter, his beautiful Iliana. Somehow, someway, he would make a family again, and take Dumbledore out once and for all.
