Chapter 6

Thank you all for your patience. A lot of you have been asking if this is a Harry-time-travel fic, and no, it's not. It's an alternate universe. Apologies for any misunderstandings. Also, some of you are asking why Remus Lupin would abandon Harry with the Whales-Sorry, Dursleys, after that argument. I feel that Remus would be loyal to Dumbledore the most since it was Dumbledore who let him into Hogwarts into the first place, so he feels forever indebted to Dumbledore. If you don't like this, then don't read this. Thank you.

The Dark lord reclined on his black marble throne and today's daily prophet. The headlines that screamed out at him read 'Aurors and The order of the Phoenix foil the Dark lord's evil plans again!' When Voldemort had seen this at first, he had snorted so loudly, the junior Death eater who brought him the newspaper nearly jumped out of his skin.

Underneath the headlines was a humongous photo of Dumbledore, The order of the fried chicken and the aurors all gathered together and beaming at the camera. Dumb-as-a-door stood front and centre, smiling and twinkling like the bloody sun itself. Honestly, those fools acted like they had defeated his elite themselves, not some new fresh recruits.

He had sent them to St Ottery Catchpole for a simple raid. Somehow, the light had gotten wind of this and were there to counter-attack. Which meant he either had a traitor amongst his ranks or the aurors and the whole Order of the Phoenix as well as Dumbledore had all flocked to that Blood-traitor Weasleys house. Hmm, the first was probably the most likely. He'll have to investigate later. Out of the fifteen death eaters he had sent, only nine had gotten away unscathed. One stunned and the other disarmed. Four were captured. They had managed to finally break the anti-apparation wards around them and get away, taking down two aurors and wounding three of the Order.

He was brought out of his musings by a knock on his door.

"Enter," The door opened to admit Bellatrix.

"My lord," She murmured.

"Rise," She got up and the Dark lord waved his wand and conjured up a comfortable chair opposite his throne. She sat in the chair.

Whenever it wasn't an official death eater meeting, the Dark lord was less their lord and more of their...boss that they were close acquaintances with. Well, except for that rat, Pettigrew, who would turn traitor on his side the second the other side was winning, also known as the cruciatus practice target.

"So, Bella, how did the mission go?" He asked her.

"Very well. Were the aurors alerted?"

"No, my lord. Not even those muggle poilecmen were notified. The filthy muggles will most likely pass it off as a...gas? Yes, gas leak or something of the like," She paused at numerous muggle words to think of them.

"Very well. I must apologize for lack of entertainment on this quest, but I did not want more aurors and that idiotic order on our tails again,"

"Of course, my lord," She nodded. "I understand. My lord, at the orphanage, I discovered a child who was...different. He was a wizard, but his parents who are also wizards abandoned him there," Lord Voldemort hissed in anger.

"How dare they! Abandoning a wizard child with filthy muggles! Who were his parents?" He asked Bellatrix who hesitated before answering.

"They are supporters of the light, my lord. In fact, you have met the child yourself and even attempted to kill him," The Dark lord frowned.

"Who-" He began but then realisation dawned on his face. "Harry Potter," He breathed. Bellatrix nodded. "How did he end up in a muggle orphanage?"
