Tom Riddle arrived at the Potter's doorstep on Halloween night. There was barely any wind and the street of Godric's Hollow was silent. It was the calm before the storm. The small amount of breeze that picked up tousled his black curls. Tom was nowhere the age he looked but thanks to his 4 horcruxes he didn't look a day over 25. He was originally planning on making seven but then Amara found out after doing research that making any more than four would completely ruin his appearance and get rid of his humanity for good. He wouldn't have minded but he didn't want himself to lose his humanity to a state that he couldn't love anyone. Not even his Amara. And after a short lecture from Amara he completely dropped the idea. He shook his head at his thoughts. He couldn't think about Amara now, the pain would render him useless.

He cast a spell that easily unlocked the door and proceeded to make his way into the house. From above he could hear muffled noises and he smiled to himself. These Potters are more idiotic than he thought. A man suddenly ran down the hall with his wand pointing directly at his chest. He almost laughed out loud, James Potter was no match for the practically invincible dark lord. He casted a spell at Tom and he waved it off as if it was nothing and in a flash of green, he was dead. Tom made to pursue up the stairs and saw a flash of red hair flow by before the door gently closed behind the ginger. They really were making it too easy for him. He calmly walked up to the door and without even lifting a hand the door burst open, wood splinters flying across the room. Lily Potter screamed as she felt pieces of wood fall on her back. The dark lord calmly walked into the room, his cloak bellowing in the breeze from the open window.

"No please, not my baby!"

"Step aside, silly girl."

The muggleborn ginger wouldn't step away from green eyed, black haired boy staring up at his mother and the dark lord with wonder in his eyes. Suit yourself. With a simple wave of his wand, another was dead. Lily Potter stared back at the dark lord with empty hollow eyes, once full of life and happiness. He turned to the baby boy who was now wailing for the loss of his mother, tears streaming down his reddened cheeks. Tom couldn't help but think of Isabella when he looked at Harry. His Isabella also had jet black hair except unlike Harry, hers didn't have the naturally messy look that Harry had. No, Isabella had beautiful black hair that had gentle waves very much resembling Tom's hair. He snapped back to reality when he looked into the boy's brilliant green eyes. He looked at the boy one more time before waving his bone-like wand. But instead of it killing him off like he expected it to, it bounced back and headed straight towards him. He didn't have enough time to move before it was going to hit him and he closed his eyes as the green light was about to hit him right in the heart. I'm coming love.

He waited, and waited. But it never came. When he slowly opened his eyes he was shocked to see a shield formed around him, a shield shining the most glorious shades of blue and a hint of pink. He had only ever seen a shield like this once. When he was in a battle with the Order of the Phoenix Amara protected him with a powerful shield that was made of pure Olympian magic,this shield was identical to it except it was much fainter. The shield faded and his eyes widened at the sight of his baby girl staring up at him with a huge smile. He remembered Amara telling him something about how when she was little she had a crazy erray of powers that included being able to sense when those she loved were in danger and how she would teleport to them completely based on instinct. She clearly took after her mother. He heard a motorcycle engine outside. Someone had come to check on the Potters. He looked back at Harry once more before picking Isabella up and apparating away.

He walked through the big intricate dark wood double doors and into the meeting room of Riddle Manor where his death eaters were waiting patiently for his command. They all took a double take when they saw he was holding Isabella in his arms for they tucked her in less than 30 minutes ago.

"My lord, how do you have Isabella? We tucked her in half and hour ago?"

"Quiet, Lucius."

The room silenced as they watched their lord rocking and cooing Isabella to sleep. Nobody knew that Isabella existed other than those were in that meeting room. He knew if Dumbledore or any of the Order of the Phoenix knew Isabella existed they would have tried to take her away. He couldn't have that. He stopped as soon as Isabella was asleep and briskly put her in her crib before walking back to the meeting room. He explained the whole story of what happened and the room was filled with gasps of shock and furrowed eyebrows. When he finished the room was silent, they all snuck glances at Isabella's room in awe. They couldn't believe a baby had that much power.

"My lord, what do we do now then?"

Tom paused for a second before speaking.

"Let them think I'm dead, let them think they've won, I'll work to make my return in secret and when I return they won't be ready."

The room was silent once again before Bellatrix spoke up.

"My lord, Rosier was sent to Azkaban earlier today without a trial and he said he would love the honor of giving you his estate to use if you please since there are no more Rosier heirs in Britain."

Tom thought for a moment, before nodding his head. They devised a plan. Tom would change his and Isabella's last name to Rosier and move to the Rosier Manor. They would pose as one of Rosier's relatives from France and they would work from there. This way he could keep his identity secret while being able to give Isabella a good life. He smiled to himself at how well this plan could work out. He will not disappoint her.
