(I do not own the cover art. I got it off of Google all credit to the artist. I also am not jk Rowling.) what if on that fateful night voldamort had taken Harry and not left him? that's just what this is. In this story, voldamort realizes Harry is a horcrux and takes him back to the riddle manor to raise him like a son under a new name. Except this is voldamort were talking about, so how fatherly can he be? (I want to clarify that this version of voldamort still has his nose. I couldn't bring myself to take it. also, voldamort WILL NOT be kind and fatherly. I intend to be true to his original character. He is and will be manipulative, cunning, ambitious, unloyal, and untrustworthy. if you have ever seen tangled, this story will be more accurate to Mother gothal and rapunzel's relationship. Voldamort only keeps Harry because he is a horcrux. He only does it to protect himself. this is in no way something to be seen as normal or kind. His "kindness" isn't kindness at all.) That being said, I really hope you like this story. Some parts may not be true to the cannon, but this is fanfiction, so in reading this, it's expected. With that, I'm proud to welcome you to the wonderful world of "The boy who lived; the Ruins of Family."
