"Speaking"

-Sign language-

For the sake of the story the entire Potter family are Parselmouths but they kept it a secret because they believed it made them dark and they did not like that.

Also I would like to point out Aiden is older than Harry is.

Chapter 6:

July 25, 1991, Aiden is 10, Trevor is 21 but looks 16, Harry and Tom look 15 and 17, Dimitri is 12

Aiden whimpered and tried to hide deeper into his closet. His Uncle was still mad at him because of the incident that happened a couple days ago at the zoo. He did not tell the snake to attack Dudley and he had no idea how the glass disappeared like it did.

It was his fault. They said so. He was a freak that would never amount to anything.

Nobody liked him. Nobody except Dimitri but recently the older boy had not been coming as recently as he used to.

Aiden did not really know much about Dimitri. He never shared anything about his family or life other than he had two parents. Aiden could tell Dimitri was pretty wealthy though. The boy always wore the finest clothing and had a lot of gold jewelry that even someone like Aiden who would not know the first thing about money could tell. Dimitri screamed rich.

Aiden could not help but feel jealous. He would love to be surrounded by people who loved him unconditionally. But he did not deserved to be loved. He was just a freak who would die alone.

Aiden could not care less about the money Dimitri's family held. Money did not matter to him, it would not buy him happiness. Sure it might be nice to get nice things but it would never be enough. Not to Aiden at least.

He knew he was completely worthless. His skin was was scarred and ugly. He had no place in this world.

"Hey, I know that look you have on your face," a cool voice said.

Aiden looked up quickly and stared wide eyed at Dimitri. The older boy just gave him a worried look and kneeled in front of him so he could heal the smaller boys newer wounds.

"I brought you some food. You must be hungry," Dimitri smiled at him. His stupid pretty face looked as perfect as ever.

Aiden grabbed the bag that Dimitri dropped by his feet and pulled out a peice of bread. He shoved the food into his mouth and practically inhaled it.

Dimitri gave him a sad smile as he took a wet cloth out of his backpack and gently began cleaning Aiden's face.

"I don't want to be here anymore," Aiden whispered. He hated his life and he did not want to be alive anymore. It hurt too much.

Dimitri just gave him a smile, "I don't want you to be here either." He hated the way these muggles treated the smaller boy and hated to leave him all alone.

Aiden looked away, misunderstanding. Dimitri must be annoyed with him. It was inevitable. Aiden was stupid for thinking Dimitri liked being around him. The only reason he visited was because of his parents anyway. Well that stung. "Please leave." he whispered.

Dimitri flinched at the cold tone Aiden used. What just happened? Why did Aiden look so upset.

"Aiden…" He whispered. He took a step forward so he could comfort the boy but Aiden just stepped back. He grabbed Aiden's shoulders roughly causing the younger boy to scream out in pain and collapse to the floor.

Dimitri's eyes widened and he quickly removed Aiden's shirt to reveal horrible burn marks and giant ugly bruises. There was a concerning trail that lead under Aiden's pants.

Aiden whimpered and tried to cover his small body so Dimitri would not have to see his ugly skin.

Dimitri pulled Aiden into his arms. "I'm so sorry," he whispered.

Aiden pushed the older boy away, "Go away! I don't want to see you again!" He cried. "You promised you would help me!"

"I have-," Dimitri started.

Aiden shook his head violently. "You left me! Where were you this past year? I forgave you for last year but you continue to abandon me! I don't understand." He whispered the last part.

Dimitri bit his lip and hesitated, "I- I can't tell you." He whispered, "Please Aiden, I'm sorry. I'll try to make more time for you, I promise."

Aiden looked down ashamed to have shouted at the superior boy. He had no right to do that. Dimitri was his only friend and he just yelled at him but right now he could not bring himself to apologize. Dimitri's words hurt him more than they should. It showed Aiden that Dimitri did not trust him. The unnourished boy collapsed into heart wrenching tears.

Dimitri hesitated not sure what he could do. He did not like seeing Aiden cry. It made him sad.

"Aiden, please don't be sad."

"AIDEN YOU BRAT! WHERE IS MY BREAKFAST AND MAIL?"

Aiden flinched when he heard his uncle's voice. He ignored Dimitri even though it made his heart feel heavy. He slowly exited his closet and went to the door to collect the mail. He paused when he saw the top envelope. It was addressed to him.

That was new. He never got mail. He flipped the envelope and traced the wax 'H' with his hand.

The envelope was pulled from his hands by his uncle and he received the scariest look he had ever seen. He was sent back to his closet and locked in.

Aiden sighed, Dimitri was gone and he was all alone again.

He hated life.

July 31, Aiden is 11

Aiden smiled, his aunt and uncle were being nice to him for some reason. He did not really care why, he was just happy it was happening.

It must have had something to do with the letter he received.

But just as life seemed to look up and hope began to flare in his heart it all came tumbling down. He lost his new room and if he had thought life before was unfair, now it was just unbelievable.

They moved to the middle of no where and all it ever did was rain and thunder. Aiden hated thunder. It scared him.

The worst thing was he had to sleep on the cold dusty floor.

Aiden huddled closer to himself in a lame attempt to keep his body heat. The banging on the door was not helping. Bright flashes of lightning filled the room for a second at a time followed by the awful sound of thunder.

Aiden was sobbing by the middle of the night.

Suddenly the door broke and a huge man entered the doorway.

Aiden flinched as the door crashed to the floor with a loud THUD.

It was loud enough to get his aunt and uncles attention. Aiden gasped as his uncle came down the stairs with a rifle in his arms. He tuned out the yelling and the threats and attempted to escape with Dudley but as soon as he tried to run off he realized he was stuck.

He looked down and frowned, there was nothing on his feet so why could he not move?

"I put a spell on ya boys, don't cha worry 'bout it. It's ta keep ya from 'scaping."

Aiden frowned and tried to fight the spell. He tried to focus on gaining control but before he could he was grabbed roughly by his collar and brought him to the front of the room.

"Here ya go," the man said.

Aiden hesitated for a moment before reaching for the letter and opening it. He read the letter in his head before looking up at the big man and frowning. "Is this some joke?"

He flinched as the giant man laughed, "Nope! Y'er a wizard Aiden Potter. And quite an important one at that."

Aiden proceeded in fainting.

Aiden trailed behind the giant man who pretty much just kidnapped him. The man had taken Aiden to some wizard mall yesterday and he found out he was rich and now he was at the train station to get to this magical school called Hogwarts.

"So Aiden, are ya nervous?"

Aiden looked up at the huge man next to him, a half giant named Rubeus Hagrid.

Aiden nodded and looked at Hagrid nervously. He was an ugly freak, no one would like him. He was already rejected in the 'muggle' world, he just did not know if he could handle being rejected in the wizarding world as well.

Aiden sighed and followed dutifully after Hagrid.

"I have ta go take care of something but I'll meet ya at Hogwarts. Here is your train ticket, don't lose it."

Aiden took the white envelope that Hagrid offered him and thanked him. He opened the envelope and frowned.

Platform 9 ¾? Was this a joke?

Maybe there was no Hogwarts. How could he be such an idiot. It must be some joke to embarrass him.

Aiden sighed. He was stuck here in the middle of a train station with no where to go. Maybe he should just 'accidentally' jump in front of moving chair.

Aiden sighed, hating himself even more for thinking that. He was weak and he knew it; he could not stand not being able to take control of his life.

He was too scared and he despised how vulnerable it made him he knew he would not be able to change himself.

Aiden growled, oh great, he was crying now. He tried to wipe the tears away but more just replaced them.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Aiden looked up suddenly and met big brown eyes. He attempted one last time to clear his eyes and forced a smile, "I'm fine." He lied.

"Are you going to Hogwarts as well?" big brown eyes asked.

Aiden looked at her shocked, "How did you…?"

"Your luggage. I mean it is pretty easy to pick out the wizards from the crowd," she chuckled.

Aiden could not help but laugh at that. "I suppose. Wow, these people are really ignorant."

The girl giggled back. "So do you have any idea where this platform 9 ¾ is?"

Aiden just blinked at her and shook his head no.

"Come on, I'll show you." She offered. "Stay close."

Aiden blinked as she walked off. He broke into a jog just to keep up with her. His heavy trolley slowing him down.

Man, he was out of shape. Cleaning was not as much exercise as he originally believed.

Aiden stopped as he watched the girl run towards a solid brick wall. "Hey! Look out! Watch where you're going!" he yelled only to trail off as she passed cleanly into the wall.

Aiden proceeded to stare at the wall for five full minutes in shocked awe.

"Oh for Merlin's sake, quit staring at the muggles!"

Aiden blinked over and watched as a plump redhead scolded a balding man. Six children followed on their tail. He watched as they did the same insane thing the girl did.

Aiden approached the wall and felt it. It seemed to be solid but then how did the others get through.

Maybe he finally lost it and went insane.

That must be it. He's crazy.

Aiden lined his cart to the wall, it did not hurt to try. He ran at full force at the wall, eyes squeezed tightly shut, fully expecting impact but never feeling it.

Aiden slowly opened his eyes and almost passed out. In front of him was the biggest train he had ever seen, given he had not seen many trains in his life but still.

"Close your mouth, you might catch flies."

Aiden blinked up at the same girl from before. Embarrassed, he shut his mouth. She took his hand and helped him carry his bags into the correct area before bringing him to an empty compartment.

"I'm Katie Bell, second year, and you are?" the girl introduced.

"Aiden Potter. And first year I guess."

"Aiden Potter?" She gasped in disbelief.

He just nodded, not sure how to take her reaction.

Katie laughed and clutched her stomach. "You're joking, right? You can't be him. You're tiny! How can you be our savior?"

"Savoir?"

"Yeah, the boy-who-lived."

"I do not understand."

"Nevermind, I'm not the right person to tell you this." she smiled at him.

Aiden just bit his lip. He was not sure how to react to that statement. His people skills were nonexistent.

Some of Katie's friends entered the compartment and started a conversation with her. Aiden sighed, feeling uncomfortable, and excused himself.

He wandered the halls of the train aimlessly. He had read the first couple chapters of Hogwarts; a history and was still trying to digest it's context.

There were three houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Originally there were four but for some unknown reason Slytherin was closed. Dumbledore got rid of it twenty years ago, the last person to get into the house was the Minister's son, Trevor Riddle.

No one knows what happened, only that Trevor wreaked havoc his first year and was turned into a toad.

It did not really explain why they closed the entire house.

It was a blurry matter.

"Hello there."

Aiden blinked and looked up to meet gray eyes. He could not help the blush at the close contact. "Oh, hi."

An elegant blond eyebrow raised, "do you mind? You're in my way."

Aiden flushed and pressed his small body against the wall to allow the other boy past him.

Once the blond boy was gone Aiden frowned. He did not belong here. He could feel it. He did not feel comfortable here. He never felt out of place everywhere.

He did not belong anywhere.

Remus Malfoy-Lupin grinned, practically bouncing in spot as he awaited the new students eagerly. His beloved godson was finally coming to Hogwarts. He would finally get to meet one Aiden Potter.

"Careful love, don't hurt yourself."

Remus chuckled and turned around to face his lover. Lucius Malfoy-Lupin, the man in charge of the school board.

Remus, the substitute teacher at Hogwarts, just smiled, "I'm not the one who needs to be careful."

Lucius smiled and gently placed his hand at the bottom of his slightly swollen stomach. "We are fine."

Remus frowned and wrapped an arm around Lucius' waist. "I still do not think this is a good idea."

Lucius just smiled. "Draco was worth it, was he not?"

Remus smiled, "I just can't bare the thought of losing you."

"I'll be fine."

Remus sighed and pouted. "Did you read the letter yet?"

Lucius frowned at that. He pulled a letter out of his pocket and shook it cautiously. "I do not want to."

Remus chuckled, "then I'll do it."

Lucius shook his head and glared at the envelope. What could his master want now? Last time Tom sent him a letter it was to infiltrate Hogwarts so he could keep an eye on Dumbledore. Then once he settled in Tom arranged a marriage between him and Narcissa Black.

That marriage never happened. Narcissa ran off to elope with her lover before he could. The last letter he received was his new engagement to one Remus Lupin because it would help with the trust between Wizards and werewolves.

Lucius was against the idea at first. He would avoid Remus and refused sex because he did not want his children to be filthy blooded.

He would probably still be avoiding Remus if the damned werewolf was not such a gentleman. Then all hope was lost when they tried for children.

He had almost given up hope after the third miscarriage. Then Sirius' fiance (also arranged by Tom) Severus, also assigned to Hogwarts with Lucius, helped him carry Draco to full term.

He had become so weak and almost did not make it through the birth. Too much stress from the miscarriages.

Lucius opened the envelope cautiously.

"What does the devil want now?"

Lucius stared at the note. "Draco is to be engaged."

Remus tried to take the letter. "To who?"

"Their third son. Dimitri Riddle."

Okay, I'm unsure about this chapter. I tried to create Aiden's character and I kept rewriting and changing it. I decided to just post what I had and get your opinion.

So I was trying to create a list of children for Tom and Harry and I wrote this little part: Please tell me if I should add this in my story.

Tristan and Keegan are 10, Ryder is 14, Hope, Faith and Miracle are 8

"Why so sad?"

Dimitri growled at his brother and turned away, not wanting to talk.

"Come on Dem, stop mopping."

"Go away Angel!" Dimitri growled.

Angel huffed. He crossed his thin arms and scowled.

Angel was Dimitri's younger brother. His actual name was Keegan but everyone just called him Angel because of how caring and kind he was. Keegan's twin Tristan was nicknamed Devil for his wild and mean aura. The small boy loved blood and torturing.

The twins were complete opposites yet they alway seemed to be together. They completed each other.

Speaking of which, Tristan was in the corner of the room buried in a book.

Keegan gave him a questioning look, "you don't look very well."

Dimitri turned his eyes to his brother and growled. "I just found out how much Aiden got hurt because I was not there to protect him!"

At that Tristan glanced up sharply, "you let him get hurt? You're supposed to be the one protecting him."

"I know that damnit!" Dimitri cried out. "I messed up okay? I focused too much on school and not enough on him."

"Don't cry, it wasn't your fault," Keegan whispered wrapping his arms around his older brothers shoulders.

Tristan scowled at that, "Yes it was his fault. He was given a simple task to keep one Aiden James Potter safe and he failed."

Keegan frowned at that. "Arguing does not solve anything."

"He let a small boy get hurt! Why are you defending-ow! Let go of me Ry!"

Ryder, the boy's older brother, sighed and crossed his arms. "hush you brat or else I'll turn you into a sloth like I did to that maid!"

Tristan huffed and crossed his arms, "that was an accident, you don't know how to do it!"

Ryder pointed his wand at his little brothers neck and growled, "Wanna test that theory."

Tristan bared his teeth before leaning forward to bite his brother's wand. Before he could someone kneed him in the groin. He collapsed to the ground attempting to nurse his aching groin. He glared up at blank cold blue eyes and perfect white skin. Long black hair falling gracefully on her shoulders. Behind her stood her two clones.

They were quite beautiful even at their young age. Like the dolls his dad had. Always so perfect. It was annoying really. They looked like sweet girls but were as demonic as Tristan was if not more.

Faith was the oldest of the three followed by Hope and the youngest Miracle. Faith being the oldest girl and the first girl to survive so of course she got whatever she wanted. Hope was the most devious of the three. She plotted with that sneaky brain of hers to the point where no one wanted to get on her bad side. Miracle was the youngest. She was born weak and no one thought she would survive and when she did it was a miracle, hence the name.

"You guys are acting immature." The seven kids whirled and stared at the beautiful young man in front of them in shock.

"Trey!" Miracle giggled as she flung herself at her oldest brother.

Trevor caught her in mid air and gently put her down. "Keegan, Ryder, and Mira your suitors are here."

Their parents wanted them to be married at a young age to avoid falling in love with someone their parents would not approve of. Trevor was already engaged to a pureblood named Charlie Weasley. The redhead was two years younger than he was and the two have not met face to face officially as of yet.

Charlie was not Trevors first choice. His father wanted the marriage arrangement to try to get the Weasley family to their side. Charlie only agreed to the wedding because it would have looked shameful to decline such a good opportunity. Trevor was the son of two very important people plus he was their heir.

Tristan was had sworn off love due to the fact it was "too much work" and he "didn't want to be nice to someone" but Dimitri knew he was just afraid of rejection and did not want to get his heart broken.

Faith was engaged to the Weasley girl Ginny. It was best to get as much influence in the Weasley family as they could. Hope was engaged to Aristotle Black, Regulus' eldest son. Everyone else was still waiting for suitable suitors.

Dimitri was in the process of getting engaged to Draco Malfoy. The Malfoy family insisted in Draco marrying into the Riddle family. Dimitri really did not want to marry a boy he never met. He wanted to fall in love like his parents did. He wanted to live and make mistakes.

But he was not allowed to. He was the son of the minister and the owner of a wizarding orphanage. He had to be proper and was not allowed to complain.

Their father had them homeschooled because he did not want them going into Dumbledore's care. Recently however, Dimitri had been wishing he could go so he could be with Aiden. He wanted to make real friends and complain about homework and be a kid.

But his life was already planned out and he had almost no say in it.

Dimitri made up his mind. He was going to convince his parents to send him to Hogwarts.

A/N: Tom and Sy had so many kids (8) because they are trying to take over the world and need heirs. They also wanted a big family because they did not get to have one growing up.

Anyway, this is how they are splitting the world up.

Sy and Tom have the Wizarding HQ and all of Great Britain. Trevor has Scotland and is in charge of taking care of Hogwarts. Ryder chose the United States because he likes food and the US makes lots of it. Dimitri took Japan because he loves anime. Keegan took France while Tristan has Spain. Faith took Russia because she wanted a challenge. Hope took China because there are a lot of boys there, and Miracle took Greece and Italy because she loved their myths. (Italy and Greece wouldn't put up much of a fight so she claimed both.)

I don't know, please tell me if you think I should add this.
