POV: Third person~~v^v~~
It was a normal day in Riddle Manor. Liliana Grindelwald, as well as her husband, Sirius Black, and their Son, Hadrian Gellert Black were at the manor to get Hadrian and Voldemort's daughter, Celestia Asteria Lilith Riddle acquainted to one another, they were destined to rule the wizarding world together. A message given to the dark lord by fate itself, that's how Voldemort knew, his daughter and Lilian's son would be great, and they'd do great things. Together.
It was Sirius who suggested inviting some of the other inner circle members and their children. To make it sort of a playdate. And he also wanted to play a new drinking game with his cousins and Tadorius.
So alongside Liliana and Sirius' son, Bellatrix and Rodolphus' son, Neville, Lucius and Narcissa's son, Draco, Tadorius and Arabella' son, Theodore, and the Weasley twins who's basically become part of the Malfoy family by now, were invited.
But today wasn't what was expected. At all. That night, after a very eventful day of playing, the babies were asleep in the nursery, while the adults were in the sitting room chatting. All except Liliana and Voldemort, they were in the nursery watching their babies. Talking about what fate had told Voldemort.
"Do you really think they'll conquer the Wizarding world, Tom? They're children." Liliana said softly, holding her sleeping son in her arms, before she gently laid him in a crib.
"Fate never said when they will, for all we know they could do it when they're children, or when they're fully grown. But I know my little Constellation will be more powerful than any other wizard that dares cross her."
"But it still worries me. What if someone tries to do something, to my Hades." She whispered softly, her voice cracking softly at the end of her sentence.
Voldemort laid down his sleeping daughter in her crib, and walked over to Liliana and hugged her. She buried her face into her lord's shoulder.
"I'm scared, Tom. I'm scared of what will happen to my baby- to all of us..." she said softly, her voice shaky.
The Dark Lord softly sighed, lifting Liliana's head by her chin, then moving a piece of her fire red hair out of her face, behind her ear, with the hand that was on her chin.
"Lily, I will protect them with all my might. I'd sacrifice myself to keep my Constellation and your little flame safe. I promise. Now, do you want me to get Sirius? I feel like he'd be better at comforting you than I am." He said softly, a small chuckling in his words, trying to lighten the mood a bit. She nodded softly, but before Voldemort could leave to get the dog, someone apperated into the room, and a green light was shot out of a wand.
Before Voldemort could do anything, he heard Liliana's scream, and her body then laid lifeless on the floor, the babies and the Twins all woke up, and started crying. Voldemort looked over. His eyes locked with none other than Albus Dumbledore himself, his want pointed out, before he slowly lowered it.
"L-lily... no.. no... NO! You cant- I made a promise... why... why?" he whispered in distress, falling to his knees, holding the now lifeless body of the gorgeous redhead. "Why..? How'd you even find us..? The dark lord asked softly, his voice still a soft whisper. Tears formed in his eyes.
"I'm saving the world, Tom. From you. It's for the greater good. We can't have Harry being raised by such dark people. The light needs a savior. A savior from your bastard-child." He said calmly, but coldly
"Dont you fucking dare call my daughter that. It was Longbottom? Wasn't it? She betrayed us." As Voldemort said that, Albus was picking up the crying Hadrian from his crib, took his wand, and engraved something into the baby's forehead using a precise cutting charm. A lightning bolt.
Albus then pointed his wand at the dark lord's baby, hitting her with a bolt of red light, then hitting Voldemort is a killing curse before apperating away, Hadrian in his hands. The other ran into the nursery only to see Hadrian missing, Celestia writhing in pain, Liliana on the floor dead, in the hands of a lifeless dark lord.
Sirius immediately ran up to his wife, falling to his knees. Grief filled his wail, holding the love of his life in his arms, crying that he failed. Lucius ran over and picked up Celestia, her writhing and screaming of agony stopped, but she was twitching, tears streaming down her soft pale pink cheeks. But most striking of all, her once deep brown hair was now snow white, her eyes cruciatus red. She looked just like her father. It pained the blonde. It pained him seeing the lord he loved in the perfect little girl in his arms's face. He promised, then and there, he would do anything and everything in his power to keep her safe.
Lucius calmed her down, the twins ran up to Lucius and hugged his legs, also crying. Narcissa went and calmed down Draco, Bellatrix calmed down Neville, and Arabella calmed down Theo.
"B-Boys, do you k-know who did this..?" Lucius asked the two 4 year old twins.
"Big m-man with a big white b-beard..." Fredrick said.
"M-mr. Riddle said it was Longbottom...who told the big b-beard man..." George said.
"Mr. M-Malfoy, who's L-Longbottom..?" Both asked at the same time.
Sirius's head snapped back at them, pure rage and grief in his eyes. He jumped up and ran out of the manor to go try and kill the traitor. To avenge his love. Tadorius tried stopping him, but it was no use, he just went on.
Sirius was falsely imprisoned for the murder of 12 muggles while on his way to the Longbottom safehouse alongside Bellatrix, Rodolphus and Rabastan who were imprisoned for the torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom, leading the two to insanity, orphaning their Son. And Celestia was given to two of her godparents, Anastasia and Aleksander Kaslav, two of Voldemort's original, and most loyal, death eaters.
As Celestia grew up, she was told many stories about her father by her godparents as well as The Malfoys and Notts. She grew up with the Weasley twins, who she called the demons because of their malicious pranks and tricks. Theodore Nott, who she often called Teddy as a little girl because of his grizzly bear brown hair, the tight hugs he gives and because of Theodore having Teddy as a nickname. And Draco Malfoy, who she called Dragon, because his name means Dragon. All three of them as her friends.
Hadrian grew up with his mother's sister' family - the Dursleys - a family that hated magic, and hated Hadrian even more. In that home, he was abused, both mentally and physically, as well as heavily neglected by his uncle, Vernon, and cousin, Dudley. While his aunt, Petunia just sat back and watched, not trying to intervene at all, but a bit of pity was in her gaze. She wasn't as bad as her husband and son, she'd sometimes sneak him food behind Vernon's back, and she'd help with some of the wounds he'd received.
Neville grew up with Andromeda Tonks, his mother's younger sister, Her husband, Ted Tonks, and their daughter, Nymphadora Tonks, who always overshadowed him, so he was a shy, and quiet kid. Though through his neglect, he became very good with both magical and non-magical plants. The only gift he was ever given was a beautiful fluffy white cat for his 11th birthday by Narcissa Malfoy, his aunt.
25th of July, 1991, that was the day the Hogwarts letters were sent out. This is where it starts.
