Changing Fate

Prologue

September 17, 1960

The screams echoed throughout the empty corridor from the master bedroom as the lover of Tom Riddle lay giving birth to the one and only heir. the Dark Lord waits beside his mistress whispering words of encouragement while shushing her screams of pain. As Tom calms Bellatrix, Elieen stats quietly that the heir is soon to arrive.

Standing idle in a corner holding his infant son ,Severus,born only months before is Eileen's husband, Tobias Snape, Who is a long term family friend of the Riddles; having heard the news moved slowly and quietly forward as not to disturb the scene before him.

As Bellatrix let's out one final painful scream their newborn child enters the world. As Elieen and the handmaidens take the new child to clean and Inspect any health deficiencies, seeing none they pass the child back to its exhausted mother. Tom looks done upon his family smiling a rare smile as Bellatrix looks up at him matching his grin with exhausted one of her own. As the question forms in her mind she softly asks her husband;

"A beautiful girl who deserves a equally beautiful name, what shall we call her?"

"Hermione" was the only response she received.
