Story summary:
Harry James Potter.
Heir of the noble house Potter.
A powerful wizard.
A Seer.
But not seen. Never acknowledged. Practically invisible.
Not the boy who lived.
And him being a seer? No one knows.
At least no one from the light.
Skylar Charles Potter.
Second born son of the noble house Potter.
Powerful according to Dumbledore and the Potters themselves.
The boy who lived.
Famous. Everywhere. Adored by all.
Some say a brat that gets all he wants.
Some say he is the savior of the wizard world , savior of all.
The biggest difference between the two of them?
One is dark while the other is not.
Chapter 1:
It was late at night when a young man, with unruly black hair and „Avada Kedavra“ green eyes, was standing on a balcony watching the moon.
“Why are you awake at such a time? Tomorrow will be a long day“, an irritated voice cut through the night.
This voice belonged to none other than Tom Marvolo Riddle, or how many call him now, Lord Voldemort.
Instead of the snake–like appearance that he wears on raids, and in front of any light wizard to annoy them, he has nearly the same look as his diary–self in Harry’s second year, just a bit older looking.
Dark brown hair, half a head taller than Harry and, instead of the brown eyes like in the diary, dark red eyes that seem to pull you in.
Green eyes turned to the left to watch Tom approach.
“I couldn’t sleep after a vision anymore. And before you ask, no I don’t know anymore what happened in it“, Harry replied in a soft voice and turned back to watch the moon.
You heard right. Harry as in Harry James Potter.
Harry Potter as in the heir of the house Potter.
Harry Potter as in the older brother of Skylar Potter.
Harry Potter as in the brother of the boy who lived.
“And I think you mean –Today– will be a long day“
A snort was heard on the young wizards left.
“Don’t be sassy, I could throw you into the dungeons“
“You wouldn’t“
“You are right, I wouldn’t. But I would still prefer for us to go to sleep again so that we won’t be dead on our feet by the time we have to leave.“
A hand gently took Harry's hand and pulled him back inside towards the bed.
A question suddenly popped into the Dark Lord's lover's head “Why were you awake Tom? I was careful to not wake you when I left the bed“.
“While you were careful to not wake me when you left the bed, you were not careful closing the balcony door, you brat.“, snarked Tom, settling on their bed.
“Oups“.
“Very unique and intelligent response I would say“.
“Oh hush you, let’s sleep now or you will be cranky later on.“, Harry said with a small smirk on his lips before turning his back to his lover, blowing out the candle that is suddenly lit on his bedside.
“HEY, watch it!“
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Waking up in the morning, Harry let out a low groan thanks to the headache he unfortunately had to wake up with.
Perfect start into a busy day, right?
Looking around, he noticed that Tom seemed to be long gone from their bedroom but he’s also seeing a headache potion on his nightstand, together with a notice.
Knowing you, you probably woke up with a headache so drink this, eat breakfast, dress up in your death eater attire and meet me down in the big meeting room.
Don’t take too long, we are going to have a special „guest“.
–T.R
Downing the potion in one go, he swung his legs off the bed and went on following the instructions on the small letter.
While doing all of this, he couldn’t help the small smile grazing his lips thankful for his Love's thoughtfulness.
Let’s get this party started.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Standing on the left of the Dark Lord of England's Throne, the Potter heir had a good sight of the inner death eater circle, which contains out of a few dozen people.
Everyone was wearing long black robes with hoods and pure white masks, to not be recognized by the special guest that Tom mentioned.
Tom and Harry wore similar clothes, only that Harry also had a golden mask instead of a white one, and that Tom had his snake glamour up.
In all his glory, the dark lord stood from his throne.
“Today, one of us managed to catch a member of the Order of the phoenix. Hopefully she will have some information for us, and I don’t mean hopefully for us more like hopefully for her because she won’t get away unscathed otherwise“,he announced all the while he was radiating his power.
Not even moments later the big double door opened and two death eaters pushed a young struggling woman in front of the dark lord.
Harry recognized her immediately, it was none other than the metamorphmagus, new auror, Nymphadora Tonks.
“I would say welcome to my humble home, miss Tonks, but I don’t believe it is much of a —welcome— for you , isn’t it“, the dark lord said, almost even amused.
“I won’t tell you one thing,“
“Oh believe me even if you won’t say a word , I will get my answers from you, one way or another“.
“No way in hell you Bastard!“
Tom started to walk leisurely around the auror on his floor, inspecting her and her reactions.
Surprisingly having patience with her, despite her spewing all different kinds of insults at him. On another day she would have long been crucio‘d, but it seems that the dark lord was gracious today.
“Where did you catch her, Rabastan?“
“She was attacking Bellatrix, and while she did that I used the momentum and casted an Immobulus on her“
“Let me go you asshole, you fucker! You will never break me! You will never get information out of me“, screamed the young woman kneeling on the floor.
Riddle stopped in his tracks, casting a silencio on Nymphadora while he was at it because her cursing started to annoy him, and turned to her.
“Fighting with Bellatrix I hear, the bigger question I have is , why were you fighting with her? After all she was ordered to stay inside an offensive attack circle“,he asked her curiously, already having an assumption about the situation at hand.
Momentarily forgetting that she was silencio‘d, he watches her trying to talk before releasing the spell cast upon her.
“I–I strayed away from my group“
“Did you now? And no one came to help poor tonks. Leaving her to die out there. What I am seeing is that you have been abandoned after they realized who you were fighting with. How does that make you feel?“
Tonks started to squirm in her shackles “they would never do that! We are the good people, they just didn’t see m–“
“Crucio“
She fell to the floor in pain, biting back a scream to not show any weakness to the Dark Lord.
“Tell me now what the Order is planning or I’m looking into your mind myself! I have no patience for this nonsense!“
While this was happening just a few meters away from Harry, the young Potter was beginning to stop paying attention because he was starting to feel a vision coming.
Green vivid eyes started to get clouded, his focus on the people in front of him disappearing until it was completely black.
(Vision start)
Slowly he’s coming back to his own senses, but instead of a cellar that he used to be in just now, he is at the Potter residence. His home.
Looking around, the first thing he noticed was his brother sitting at the table with his parents and Dumbledore.
“Horcruxes? What are they exactly, I think I heard it from somewhere but I can't connect it to anything“, James asked, voice full of caution.
“A horcrux is a terrible thing, the blackest magic to exist. It’s an object in which a wizard, a dark wizard, hides a fragment of their own soul.“
“But why would one do that? Does It make you stronger?“
“Yes, in a sense, it makes you immortal because whenever and wherever the body dies, the soul inside the horcrux will make a new body to continue to live in. Powerful wizards can make several at once, making it harder to fully kill them.
But also making them mentally unstable.“
In a way Dumbledore was right about the unstable mind, but in another way he also was not. He did not know that there could be exceptions, exceptions like Voldemort.
“Voldemort has many, at least 5 but there could be more, I need your help to find all of them and destroy them“, Dumbledore continued remorsefully.
His parents and Skylar looked at each other, determined.
“Of course we will help, where do we find those horcruxes Albus?“
“I will give you more information soon but until then, leave Harry out of this, he has to focus on his studies so that he is useful to us later on“
Dumbledore ended speaking with twinkling eyes and a small smile on his face, a smile that gave Harry goosebumps to no end .
(Vision end)
Voices— no screams is what he is coming back to once the vision ends.
Blinking rapidly, he tries to see what’s happening in front of him, only to see Tonks unconscious on the floor.
“Seems like she was out of the loop regarding important information, what a shame.”
England’s Dark Lord stepped around the auror on his floor and turned to Rabastan Lestrange.
“Good job Rabastan, go have your fun with her using some spells, not too much though, and let her go, let her run back to where she came from but before that oblivate her, she knows to not mess with us once she wakes up with her severe injuries. Although don’t eradicate her memories of being captured. Understood?“
“Understood, my lord'', the younger lestrange brother says and leaves with the metamorphmagus in his clutches.
Slowly every death eater started to leave the cellar one by one until—
“Lucius and Severus stay back with me“, a clear order from the Lord.
Lucius Malfoy, a long Platinum blond haired aristocrat with grey eyes who works as spy in the ministry of magic, and Severus Snape, shoulder length black haired potion professor with onyx eyes working also as a spy in Hogwarts, let themselves fall back to their Lord.
Tom let his snake glamour drop before he turned to Harry with the intention to call him to his side, but stopped once he saw the still slightly clouded eyes.
Eyes narrowing he walks towards him, and slowly starts to lift his hand to touch his lover's cheek. Stopping when Harry startled awake, the grayness of his eyes fully disappeared and the green eyes returned.
“Welcome back to the living, Harry“, Tom murmured “what was it about?“
Harry hesitates, gaze fluttering to the 2 men waiting for their Lord's orders or request.
“I’ll tell you once we are alone because I don’t think this is something to be discussed in front of others, at least not yet.“
Voldemort nods, turning back to his most trusted followers.
“Severus, I need you to brew more healing potions, they are starting to run low.
Lucius, I need to know what Dumbledore is trying to achieve in the Ministry. Avery told me that his name got mentioned several times in a conversation.
Once you are done, report back to me, my friends.“
“Yes my lord“, both answered, leaving Harry and Tom alone.
Both lovers turned to each other with a soft gaze. Watching each other for a minute, then Tom breaks the silence „let’s go to the living room and talk in private“.
„Yes, let’s“.
And so they left the cellar for the privacy of their own home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“If you continue to pace like this, then you will walk a hole in the ground Tom.“, Harry mocks his lover, who has been walking in a circle for the last 10 minutes.
The mocked dark lord turned around to look at his younger lover.
“Harry, I have a reason for this so-called pacing! How did the old fool find out about my horcruxes? Everyone that knows about them, has sworn an unbreakable vow, so that can’t be!“, he nearly yelled.
With Tom yelling his head off, Harry started to think how they found out about one of their deepest secrets.
And then suddenly the answer popped into his head.
“Your diary,''the young man whispers.
“What?“
“Your diary Tom! Luna Lovegood got possessed by it, did you forget?? When I was in my second year.
She found it who knows where and decided to write in it and your soulshard decided to use her for himself.
She must have told Dumbledore about it, he then went to find the remains of it, must have researched how it happened and came to this result.“
“Fuck.“
“Now who has unique and intelligent retorts here“
Riddle looked at him, not impressed at all.
“Alright, tell me again what exactly happened in your second year for —this— to happen.“
And maybe just maybe, it is time to explain how Harry James Potter, heir of the noble house Potter, son of Lily and James Potter and brother of Skylar Charles Potter, came to be on the dark side.
And most importantly, how he came to be the Dark lord's lover.
But that is a long story, already starting when Harry was barely three years old.
Starting at the point where his life was destined to be dark.
Destined to be powerful.
Destined to —see—.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry was born in the middle of war.
On the 31st July of 1980.
“He is so small Lily, so so small“
“They generally tend to be James“, said Lily with an exhausted but beaming smile on her face.
Lily Potter, a young bright muggle born witch with red hair and glowing green eyes,was lying on a bed with her newborn son in her arms.
“He is still a Harry right? Or do you think he should have another name?“, James asked gingerly.
James Potter, unruly Blach hair with brown eyes and glasses on his nose, sitting next to his wife and looking at his son.
“I think Harry will fit just perfectly.“
“Harry James Potter then it is! Now about his godfather or godmother.“
„I still want Severus to be his godfather James, no matter the rivalry between the both of you! He was my very first friend.“
James pulled a face at this, he really wanted Sirius to be The Godfather.
“But Siri— you Said he could be too“
“Maybe the next one is James, but for Harry, I want it to be Sev.“
He saw it in his wife’s face that she won’t give in and gave a big sigh.
“So be it my love, snivellus it is“
“Stop calling him like that“
A few days later, the Potters returned home to Godric's Hollow, a small cottage in England.
“The fidelius is up? With Sirius as secret keeper?“
“Of course Lily I wouldn’t allow you and Harry to return otherwise“
The fidelius charm.
It is cast to protect one's home with a powerful ward, making the house invisible to anyone outside who never has been told the address by a secret keeper.
In this case the secret keeper of the Potters was none other than Sirius Orion Black, brown shaggy hair with gray eyes, heir of the noble house black and best friend of James.
It was precaution during the war, after all the Potter’s are known members of the Order of the Phoenix, an order that was created to defy who must not be named.
They wanted to take no risk, now that Harry has been born.
“Then let’s go inside and get settled, Severus is supposed to come over and meet his godson“, the female Potter said with a happy smile while her husband grimaced at the aspect of, snivellus, coming over.
In the first two years of his life, Harry has been pampered by everyone.
The marauders, containing of Sirius, James, Remus Lupin bright brown haired with blue green eyes, and Peter pettigrew dirty blond haired with blue eyes, tried to teach Harry a lot of mischief.
Severus Snape would always try to teach him things about magic and potions, which Lily would always stop when he got too complicated “he is only one after all!“.
Despite all the attention, no one noticed the clouding eyes of the small toddler from time to time, no one saw a bigger picture behind the sudden nightmares that a child of that age shouldn’t have. That even before things would fall down, he points at the object and talks away in baby speech, as if he wants to tell them that something is going to happen.
And maybe it was very lucky for the small Potter, that no one took notice of all those signs.
No one but Severus Snape, who didn’t say a word about what seemed to be the case.
All in all everything was doing well, even after the lady Potter announced her second pregnancy.
At least for a while.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the 30th of may 1983, Skylar Charles Potter was born.
A red haired baby with dark brown eyes, Lilly’s hair and James’s eyes.
The exact opposite of Harry.
With not only his looks but also behavior, while Harry always has been a silent baby, his brother was loud and active.
It was a quiet evening just a few weeks after Skylar‘s birth when James wanted to discuss something with his wife regarding the fidelius charm.
“Lily, I was thinking, don't you think it’s too obvious that Sirius is our secret keeper? I feel like everyone would expect that it is him, not that someone found out how we are hidden away.I’m afraid now that we have sky too that people will try to target us even more“ James murmured worried.
“Too obvious? Do you really think so? Who would we ask otherwise Jamie? Sev is working as a spy so it would be too dangerous too.“
“I would suggest to ask Peter, no one would expect him to be it, after all he just doesn’t seem like someone holding such a secret“
“If—if you really think that is wise? Maybe we should ask dumbledore after all there is a prophecy to consider. I—I just don’t know.“the young mother said with a shaky voice and tears in her eyes.
She just wasn’t sure what she should do, having children during a war was hard and even harder because there is a prophecy that could involve one of her children.
Both children had gotten attention from all their loved ones.
Everything seemed normal from the moment Skylar was brought home from St.Mungos.
They felt safer with Peter as their secret keeper, nothing could have gone wrong.
Until the 31st October 1984.
The night that has changed everything.
For one brother for the better,
For the other for the worse.
And the day where a prophecy will start to be fulfilled.
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…
Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the month dies…
And the Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have the power the Dark Lord knows not…
And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the others survive…..
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the month dies...
