The Silver Snakes

Chapter 4 - The Adoption and Conversations.

Harry was slightly nervous, he knew what the expectations would be now that he was going to be the Heir to the dark, the Dark Prince, as the Death Eaters would come to know him. Harry held a lot of hate for muggles within him, meaning that the torturing and killing of muggles would not bother him, he also began to hate most of those from the light and so he would have no trouble doing the same thing to them.

However what was concerning him the most was learning all of the dark spells, he knew that he would have to do this not only because he had to but also because he wanted too. However he has been raised to use only light spells and defend against dark spells, he was worried that his training would not come together as he wanted.

But there were more important matter to deal with, mostly the adoption. Blood adoption is one of the most powerful potion and spell, it is basically taking the blood from the real parents and making the child more like the adoptive ones, which is why Harry would look more like Tom Riddle than he would his father. He would essentially become Harry Riddle and cease being Harry Potter.

This was something that Harry was happy to do. Harry Potter had brought nothing but pain and betrayal, he didn't want the fame and the money that came with that name and he did not want to be the Boy-Who-Lived. He had never wanted to be the person that everyone wanted to be friends with because he was famous, he didn't want people to like him because he had money and he didn't want to be the person known for killing someone.

When Harry became Harry Riddle, all of that would disappear. When he returns to Hogwarts in the summer he will be resorted, and put into the house that he was meant to be in from the beginning, he will be able to embrace his true nature and find his true friends.

Harry Riddle was going to take the world by storm.

"Harry are you ready for this?" Lucius asked, as he walked up to the obviously nervous boy.

"Yeah, I mean I have to live up to the name of the Dark Lord, as I will be the Dark Prince. I'm scared that I won't be able to learn the dark spells that I will need to. And then on top of that I am in love with someone who hates me." Harry said in a rush.

"Oh Harry none of that matters. You will go into the role that you have been given in style, Draco tells me that you are fast learner and the teachers you will have will be the best the dark has and as for Draco I told you he doesn't hate you." Lucius explained, watching as he saw the young man visibly relax.

"Thank you I'm ready." Harry said, he gave the man a quick hug then walked over to the centre of the room where his father to be was waiting for him.

"Right Harry, all you have to do is cut yourself with this dagger, place some of your blood into this vial of potion that Severus has already created, I will do the same. We will mix it until it turns a red/purple colour and then we each drink half of it. I will warn you this will be a bit more painful for you than me as more of your blood is being replaced, none will leave your body it all happens internally. Once that is done you will remain asleep for a few moments and the changes will be completed. Are you sure that you want to go through with this?" Voldemort asked, wanting the teen to have made up his mind completely.

"I am sure Voldemort. You have never lied to me, you told me the truth and you helped me when my supposed friends and family did not. I consider the dark my family now." Harry said, letting the man look into his mind to make sure that he was telling the truth.

"Okay then we shall begin. In half an hour Harry Potter will cease to exist and Harry Riddle will emerge." Voldemort said proudly.

"What about Harry Potter, Potter and Riddle cannot be alive at the same time, but if we kill Potter then people suspect that Potter is Riddle? How are we going to solve that?" Harry asked, not believing that he had not even thought of this.
