Hello and welcome to my very first fanfiction in here!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, but the whole imagination that I use in this piece is all mine and a few from other works that inspired me.

This story is mainly a Tomarry story but it won't happen just yet. Not until our dear Harry starts his second year in Hogwarts. There are a lot of changes that I input in this story! Mainly the characters, such as the blossoming friendship that Moony, Padfoot and Severus is going to have. As much as I love Wolfstar but for the sake of this story, I am going to make pair Remus and Severus together, since they're my second favourite pairing.

There's also no Dursleys here because I'd like to think that if Petunia could set aside her jealousy and actually do something worth it in her life, she wouldn't need a man in her life. That's right! I'm making Petunia a smart and respectable woman here. She could go all the way in life if she wants to!

This story is still developing, I'm sorry if there are so many grammatical errors since English is not my first language and I do not have a Beta Reader. I would also like to apologize ahead because I might not update as frequent as I want to because of my hectic college schedule. I hope you can understand and please enjoy!

T.G.E

"I have learned things in the dark that I could never have learned in the light, things that have saved my life over and over again so that there is really only one logical conclusion. I need darkness as much as I need light."

Barbara Brown Taylor.

Hadrian James Potter watched as his mother succumbed to the ground after receiving a nasty green light to her chest. He silently watched as her mother's magic slowly but surely dimmed and finally left her body to form a shield around him, under the shimmering shield he could hear the comforting word of his mother soothing his heart. Then, he focused on the looming figure in front of him. He saw how the person whispered and produced the same green light that hit his mother before, only now it is targeted to him. The green light hit his mother's shield instead and rebounded towards the figure. Hadrian saw how the green light engulfed the figure destroying it and leaving a bright blue orb to hover around him.

Hadrian felt somehow elated seeing the blue orb flying around him, he felt connected with the orb as if something felt right at that moment. Then the orb stopped right in front of Hadrian's nose. The boy could feel a slight probe in his mind, as if the orb was asking a permission, knowing that the orb wouldn't hurt him he let it settle in. The orb went inside through Hadrian's forehead, leaving a lightning bolt scar as a memoir. Afterwards, little Hadrian felt as if someone has been staring at him the whole time. He looked around the room and found a tall man with all-black clothing watching him intently, Hadrian couldn't see his face however he looks like the skeleton from one of his storybook. The man stepped forward towards Hadrian's cot and stroke the baby's cheek with a long bony finger. Hadrian giggled at the touch and grabbed the bone-man's finger.

"Little Hadrian Potter. You intrigued me." Chuckled the bone-man. "I now know why my sister chooses you as one of her mark-bearer. I am curious as to how you will continue your journey to your greatness and to others."

Hadrian tilted his head and suddenly he felt another presence behind the man. A lady with the long flowy brown hair, white elegant robe and the most beautiful and radiant violet eyes. The warmth emitted from the beautiful lady made Hadrian so happy that he giggled even more as the lady moved to his cot and proceed to carry him from it.

"Lady Magic." Gruff the man. The lady smiled charmingly at the man but didn't answer his greeting, instead, she turned her attention to baby Hadrian. She lovingly kissed the boy's forehead and left a beautiful rune (*) which glowed for a while and fade afterwards. Hadrian yawned sleepily the warmth began to seep through his body, as he began to take the comfort of the warmth emitted from her, and slowly fell asleep on her arms as she rocked him gently. "You just gave him your mark."

"I did, yes. He is destined to save the Magic in this universe. It is weakening, Death. I know you can feel it too." Answered Lady Magic.

"It is… deteriorating." He paused. "But why this particular child. I do not understand."

"It was Fate who gave me the idea. This child has an ancient root in his veins, far more ancient than Slytherin's. This child has a mind that can comprehend many things that Slytherin couldn't, an equal, an anchor to Slytherin's views. Slytherin has done so much wrong that I had to have Fate to intervene, but I can see that a small part of him can latch himself to little Hadrian. I hope that by watching and living with Hadrian he could learn something." Explained the ancient Lady as she gently lowered the sleeping baby into the cot and conjured a velvet light blanket on him.

"I see… then allow me to leave my own mark. I want to make sure that he knows later on that I will be supporting him."

"And why would you want to do that Brother? Did you look through the Eye of Future? If you did look through the Eye, why did you have to question me?"

Death only gave her a sly smirk and drew the Rune of Death (*) on Hadrian's chest that emitted black mist before fading like the Lady's mark. "I had to ask you to reassure myself, my dear sister. The Eye only spoke of possibilities and I did see a possibility where he will lead this world to greatness. Darkness be damned, he will prevail." He gave the little baby a small smile. "With your assurance, the possibility has a higher chance of coming true."

The Lady Magic chuckled and looked at Hadrian with a warm smile. She gently runs her hand down through his unruly raven hair. "Hadrian James Potter, when the time comes you will meet the both of us and when you do the fate of this Universe lies between the choices that you will have to decide. Until then, study, absorb any knowledge that you can find, the Light isn't as pure as you thought and the dark isn't as evil as you think my dear. As for you, Slytherin… I know you can hear me. Learn and observe from young Hadrian. He will be good for you." With that Mother Magic disappeared leaving Death and the sleeping baby alone.

Death stayed behind to watch the scene proceed as the famous young potion master named Severus Snape, wobbled inside the room only to crumble in despair seeing his old childhood friend laid lifeless on the floor. The shock took a great toll on him and left him screaming in agony. The agonizing howl woke Hadrian up in a jolt and caused him to sit upright to find one of his favourite uncle cradling his sleeping mother, rocking her back and forth and crying loudly.

"Sevvy?" Called young Hadrian worriedly. Snape stopped his rocking and turned his head to see Hadrian. A relieved sigh escaped his lips as he gently lay his Childhood friend on the ground, closing her opened eyes, hoping to give her peace and made his way to the cot to gently grab the baby and hugged him close.

"Oh, Hadrian. My little Hadrian. You're safe. I am so relieved." He whispered soothingly. Though a few hiccups escaped and a few tears managed to roll down and wet his cheeks he quickly took the little baby and exited the wreckage of a house. Death watched the potion master carried Hadrian away from him and Hadrian, still able to see Death, gave Death a toothy smile and gave him a small wave. Death smiled at Hadrian and bowed his head and watched him leave.

"Farewell, little curse. I shall visit you whenever I can." Said Death as he vanishes through the darkness.

Meanwhile, Snape made his way out from the ruble of Godric Hollow. But before he could exit the gate another person arrived and made him took out his wand and conjure a shield before him before readying himself to attack. "WHO'S THERE?!" He yelled.

"It's me Snivellus. What are-! Merlin what happened here?!" yelled the person.

Hadrian, recognizing the familiar voice, immediately reach out to the other person. "Siri!" He giggled excitedly. Severus immediately shielded Hadrian from the well-known auror, Sirius Black.

"Stay away Black! You traitor. YOU GAVE THE DARK LORD THEIR LOCATION. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! THEY'RE ALL DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU." He yelled, tears rolling down his cheeks, his wand hand trembling in anger.

"Sev! What are you even blabbering about?!"

"HE KILLED THEM! LILY AND JAMES. HE KILLED BOTH OF THEM! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THEIR LOYAL SECRET KEEPER. WHY DID YOU BETRAY THEM!" Roared Severus again. Hadrian watched the both of them in silence, confused as to what is happening right before him.

"W-what… James and Lily? B-but I'm not the secret keeper… It was…That RAT!" Yelled Sirius, suddenly remembered the one who caused this mayhem. "When I find that damn rat, I'm going to kill him!" He growled, his grey eyes filled with malicious intent. "Wait here, Severus!" But before he could even leave to apparate, Severus, who had been listening to him breaking down the culprit, held his arm to stop him.

"Explain it to me, Black."

"I have to go, Snape. I have-"

"For the love of Morgana! Stop and explain everything to me, right now! I just lost my childhood friend! I almost lose Hadrian! I don't want him to lose another family member just because you act rashly! Now stay and explain everything to me!" Severus finished with a sob. He broke down for the second time today and it had taken an emotional toll on him. "Please, Sirius." He begged, his face red and blotchy with tears.

Sirius watched Severus in shock, shocked because he was used with Severus' stoic and uptight personality, he had never seen him express his feelings so outwardly before, shocked to see the usually sour and grim potion master crying his heart out, hiccupping and sobbing in such anguish that it breaks Sirius' heart. The auror shook his arm off and proceed to pull Severus into his arms. "Okay… okay. I'll explain. But not here. Not where people can hear us. Come… I know a place."

"Mommy comes?" Asked Hadrian who had been silent throughout the whole fiasco decided to make his presence known. Severus choked down a sob, he wiped the remaining tears on his cheeks and put up a warm smile.

"Your mommy and daddy have to go somewhere far, my dear." Explained the potion master.

"We come too?" Asked Hadrian as he grabbed Sirius' collar and pull him closer. Severus couldn't bear to see Hadrian's hopeful eyes and looked at Sirius' grey eyes instead.

Sirius stares deeply into Severus' dark eyes, he swallowed a big lump before answering Hadrian. "Not now. But when the time comes. We can visit them." Hadrian pouted at this but nodded nonetheless. He had been experiencing quite a lot of things today. From seeing his mother suddenly sleeping so peacefully, accepting the warm blue orb, meeting the bone-man and the beautiful lady, and seeing for once both of his uncle accepting one and another. He yawned sleepily and laid his head on Severus's chest. Hearing his uncle's heartbeat lulling him to sleep. He hoped that he could visit his mother and father soon.

Sirius smiles at the now sleeping baby, he then held Severus close by the waist and nodded solemnly, "Let's go.". Severus nodded and proceeded to step even closer to Sirius. With a silent crack, the three wizards were gone from the murder scene to someone who can help them.

The next morning, the news about the Potters erupted and somewhere in a castle where wizard and witches of young age come to improve and learn magic, sat a brooding old figure in a school office with a Daily Prophet on his desk. The current reigning light leader, Albus Dumbledore, had just received the news that the dark lord had managed to kill Potter couple but vanished into thin air with only a killing curse residue left behind around a baby cot. Dumbledore chuckled darkly.

'Pity that the Potters must go. They were great light soldiers, except for Lily, that wench somehow could see through my plans and I almost failed. Fortunately, Riddle manages to clean up my mess before I could.' He thought nonchalantly as he skimmed through the newspaper. But one thing still bugged his mind, the Dark Lord isn't the only one who is missing, but so was baby Hadrian. The Potter child was nowhere to be seen and there wasn't anyone who came to the house, not even Sirius the supposedly James' best friend.

Dumbledore gritted his teeth if only Sirius had come and decided to act bravely as a Gryffindor fool and find Pettigrew to kill him. He could use it and throw Sirius into Azkaban, but the auror never came to check and neither does Snape. Severus was supposed to go there and return to him to give him the news, but instead, he wasn't there or anywhere in the castle. Sirius Black was supposed to be the next one who has to be 'sacrificed for the greater good'. He has to find the three of them and fast. He needed to place Hadrian to the Dursleys so he could be easier to control. Dumbledore tapped at the newspaper on the desk impatiently. Things are not going as it was supposed to.

Suddenly, the office door opened revealing the Severus Snape. "Ah, Severus my boy. I had just heard the news about the Potters. Did you manage to come and see Hadrian?"

Severus remained placid, "The boy was gone when I got there Albus. I could not find him."

"How can you not find him Severus?! Where could he be! If things got out of hands then my plan would fail!" Albus growled. Something inside Severus snap. He knew not to trust Albus long ago when Lily told him about what she found out but now everything is so clear. He knew now what to do.

"I wasn't aware that you have a plan, Albus. However, my prediction is that the baby died alongside the dark lord. The cot reeked of the killing curse residue, I suppose one of the Death Eaters grabbed the baby and tossed it somewhere. Maybe- "Before Snape could finish the door burst opened to reveal none other than Sirius Black.

"ALBUS! What do you mean by this?! I thought they were supposed to be safe! LOOK AT THIS!" Yelled Sirius as he slammed down a new Daily Prophet Newspaper with a new Headline.

DARK LORD VANQUISHED, THE POTTER FAMILY VANQUISHED, THE DISCOVERY OF A CORPSE OF A TODDLER! IS THIS THE COST OF VANQUISHING THE DARK LORD? LINE OF POTTER ENDED WITH THE DEATH OF HARRY POTTER!

"MY GODSON IS DEAD, ALBUS! DEAD!" He screamed he furiously grab Dumbledore's beard and yanked it forward. "YOU promised me that they would be saved! Why aren't you doing anything?!" He growled menacingly, his grey eyes glaring with fury. Dumbledore gritted his teeth but decided to play safe.

"Now now, my boy. You have to understand their sacrifices are for the greater good. They knew this would happen." He calmly explained while trying to unwind Sirius' fierce grip on his beard. Sirius went pale and let the beard go. His shoulder slumped when everything clicked, he trembled and finally sagged down to the floor,

"You knew… You knew this would happen and you… you didn't even stop it." He muttered weakly. Snape watched with lingering sadness in his eyes, he averted his attention to the headmaster who stood still with a cold smile on his face. Sirius choked a sob, he raised his head and glare heatedly at Dumbledore. "I quit. I'm out. I don't want anything to do with this bloody fucking war." He glowered and stand shakily. He hastily ripped the Order of Phoenix badge and drop it on the floor. He glared menacingly one last time to Dumbledore, "Don't bother me anymore." He threatened and finally left the room.

Snape watched the retreating back of Sirius until the door closes behind him. He calmly looks at Dumbledore again who seemed to be fuming at the current situation and is now glaring heatedly on the door where Sirius left. "I'm off. The dark lord is gone and took the Potters with him. I'm not going to stick around. Expect my resignation letter by the end of the week and don't even bother finding me, I want my grieving time." He said and decided to leave the room, following Sirius' trail. Dumbledore watched with a gaping mouth as his most brilliant potion master slip out of his grasp. It is safe to say that everything is not going the way he planned.

Outside, both Sirius and Snape apparated together to a secluded alley in Muggle London. They looked around to find any witness and found no one around. They changed their clothes to a more Muggle style and proceeded to walk a few blocks away from the alley. They took a couple of turns and passed through many houses until they stopped in front of a well-off house. They both went inside and found themselves greeted with the sight of a young woman holding the none other than the boy who lived while sitting on an expensive looking couch as if she was waiting for them.

"It took you long enough. Did he fell for it?" Asked the fair-haired young woman, with hauntingly green eyes. A devious smirk appeared as she snuggled the baby tighter. Hadrian, who was currently sleeping in the woman's arms stirred a little but didn't wake up. The woman smiled lovingly at Hadrian and kissed his forehead as gently as she could. Then, she turned her attention to the wizards, "Well?"

"Honestly, Petunia. You put such little faith in me. Of course, he fell for it! Who do you think you're talking to?" Sirius huffed petulantly and collapsed on the couch right next to her.

"It was brilliant, a bit over the top but what can you expect from a pompous Black?" Chuckled Severus as he took a seat on a chair across from the couch. "However, we must not linger here. We have to move. Away from here. Somewhere unplottable."

Petunia Evans, the sister of the late Lily Potter nee Evans, is a successful Lawyer in the city. Knowing that jealousy will not give anything positive to her, she decided to make peace with the fact that she is a squib and decided to turn her life upside down. A graduate Law student from Harvard, she spent most of her life in America, building her career when she found the American Wizarding Community. Working together with the American Wizarding Community, she built many shelters and orphanage for muggleborn children all across America. She kept in contact with Lily all the time and what made her came back to London was what she found out in America about her heritage (*). After clarifying everything with Lily, she decided to stay in London and build another career here. Currently, she is running underground secret shelters and orphanage away from the Ministry's eyes, knowing that if she caught the Ministry's attention things will get messy and the squibs and muggleborns will be caught in the middle. The woman has made her mark in the muggle politics and is a well-respected woman in her field.

"Don't worry." She said. "I've got it all under control."

*) The runes that I used is from the Nordic runes.

1) The rune of mother magic is the Eizwaz rune. Definition: Tree of life, Dreaming and Magic.

2) There are 2 runes from death one called Yr, Definition: Death, End and War. While the other one is Algiz, definition: Life, Protection, Beginning and Sanctuary.

(*) I'm going to make that both Petunia and Lily is the last descendant of the Sayre family from Isolt Sayre. One of the ancestors married to an Evans and decided to move back to London. Therefore it will explain why Hadrian speak parseltongue even after the hocrux were taken away from him.

Thank you!
