There's a darkness inside everyone, no matter how good or pure someone seems its always there. For some its easy to ignore, for others its a wonderful temptation but for others its their very blood.
Hermione Granger has always felt a sort of darknes...

A females cry echoed throughout the house as her husband paced down stairs, running his hands through his already messy hair. "It shouldn't be taking this long." The man muttered as his wife screamed again, causing the other men to flinch. "It might mean he's a fighter." Another man chipped in hoping to calm his friend. "Maybe." He muttered.
A knock at the door startled the room as the men answered it only to be faced with Tom and Rosalie Riddle. They looked at each other for a minute before bursting out laughing, the two men hugging roughly before the man gently hugged Rosalie. "Come in please." The man smiled allowing the two inside as his wife released the loudest scream yet, causing him to pale.
Rosalie instantly ran up the stairs to help, having given birth herself recently she knew she could be of assistance. Tom walked into the living room greeting everyone else as they sat and waited. Soon one final ear piercing scream was released and afterwards, a babys cry filled the house. James instantly began crying as he ran up the stairs to see his beautiful wife, mother and Rosalie.
In his wife's arms was their beautiful son, who like him had raven black hair. "He's beautiful." His wife whispered passing their son to him. "What do you want to call him?" The man asked his wife and she smiled "Harry, I want to call him Harry." The man smiled "Welcome to world Harry James Potter."

Several hours later the men all sat down, with Tom and James in the middle with Sirius, Remus, Peter and Lucius sat around them. "Dumbledore will no doubt arrive tomorrow to see Harry. And we all know what he's going to do." James spoke and Tom nodded "I'm sorry James, truly I am." James sighed "Its not your fault Tom, its that old goats." James reassured.
"He's right." Everyone turned to see and exhausted looking Lily walking into the room with Rosalie by her side. "You didn't ask for this and we didn't either. We have to play our parts though, remember after tomorrow you hate us and Harry is the 'chosen one' that has to defeat you." Lily continues as she makes her way over to sit next to her husband. James wrapped his arm around her, gently kissing her temple.
"I know but it doesn't make it any easier." Tom replied. Tom looked around the room, almost everyone he cared about was sat down and he knew it would be the last time they would do so for a while. "We can do this." Rosalie declared. "We won't let him win." Everyone nodded and James sighed.
"Its time old friend... Just promise me you'll make me remember." James looked at Tom who nodded. James, Lily, Remus and Sirius began to remove memories from their brains and placed them into glass vials. Once they finished Tom smiled sadly lifting his wand at James. "I'll see you soon. Obliviate." James panicked for a second feeling his memories slipping away before he fell unconscious his last view was his wife Lily who was also slowly falling.

James, Lily, Remus and Sirius slowly woke up to the sound of Harry crying. Lily instantly jumped up and ran to her baby while James rubbed his head. "What the?" He muttered his mind jumbled, desperately scrambling back together. He felt like he had forgotten something important but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Before he could ask the others a knock at the door sounded and James opened it to find Dumbledore standing there. "Ah James my boy." James smiled and allowed Dumbledore inside as Lily walked in holding Harry. Lily smiled "Hello Dumbledore how are you?" Dumbledore smiled "I'm very well. Is this the little one?"
Lily grinned as James walked to his wife and wrapped his arm around her slim waist. "This is our son Harry." Dumbledore walked over and peered at the little baby. He was asleep but already small tuffs of black hair were growing on his head. Dumbledore smiled sadly "Ah the little chosen one." He muttered causing both Lily and James to look at him weirdly. "Chosen one?" Lily asked and Dumbledore sighed.
"A prophecy has been told about Harry it's to do with Voldemort." James looked uncomfortable as Dumbledore continued "Its says that Harry will be the one to kill the dark lord one day." Lily held Harry tighter to his chest. "He's just a baby." She cried and James gently kissed her forehead. "It will be when he is older he will fulfill the prophecy."
James frowned slightly, something didn't seem right. "But there's been no word at all about Voldemort for months now." Dumbledore's blue eyes darkend for a second "The order believes he is currently planning something big and its greatly disturbing us that we haven't heard anything."
At this Sirius and Remus walked into the room, both of them yawning. They both nodded their greetings to Dumbledore before standing next to James. "What's this about Voldemort?" Remus asked and James sighed "Dumbledore and thinks he's planning something as well haven't heard anything about him for a while now."
Remus frowned "That makes sense I guess." "That's why I am offering to place wards around your house, I fear he will come after Harry." Dumbledore informed them causing Lily to smile. "We would be very grateful if you did."
"Of course you would need a secret keeper." James instantly turned to Sirius "Sirius, I trust Sirius to be our secret keeper." But Dumbledore sighed "No its too obvious you would chose Sirius may I suggest either myself or Peter?" Both Lily and James frowned. "I guess we could have Peter as our secret keeper." Lily answered and Dumbledore smiled. "Very well then, I shall place up the ward and leave. You clearly need to rest."
With that Dumbledore left with a huge smile on his face. His plan was coming together beautifully. Soon the Potters would be dead and he would have the perfect child to mold into a weapon. Whistling a tune to himself he placed the wards around the Potters house and appearated back to Hogwarts were he was met with a disturbed looking McGonagall.
"Albuas... I... I know why Voldemort has been so quiet." She whispered and Dumbledore frowned. "Why?" McGonagall looked worried "He and Rosalie.... They have a child.... A little girl called Cynthia." She stuttered watching as Dumbledores face grew red. "WHAT?!" He thundered, his magic lashing out violently. His plans were ruined! He had never accounted for a child. McGonagall flinched at his anger.
Dumbledore paced his office growling under his breath. Then an idea hit him, they could steal the child! She too could be moulded into the perfect weapon! Both her and Harry would have incredibly strong magic and they would be easy to manipulate. Dumbledore smiled and turned to McGonagall "Well then it seems the plans have changed!" Dumbledore then began laughing, his eyes flashing revealing the extent of his insanity.
