Darkness has plagued the hidden world of England. The wizarding world. Kept secret from the world of muggles, no mages, can't spells and no magiques in fear of being hunted by them. The wizarding world was once threatened to be revealed by a powerful dark wizard known as Grindelwald. He almost succeeded until he was stopped by Albus Dumbledore and placed within his own prison that he built called Nurmengard.

His defeat in 1945 brought the wizarding world some peace and relief. Unfortunately, this peace would not last. Another dark wizard had begun to take up the mantle of "Dark Lord" and has begun to surpass Grindelwald's actions. Wanting to rid the world of muggles and place his kind as the dominant species, this new Dark Lord has committed heinous acts of cruelty and depravity that his name had begun to spread throughout England. His name meant to instill fear against those who would stand in his way. A name that would forever be ingrained into the history books. This Dark Lord was known as...

Voldemort.

No one knew who he was nor the reason behind his actions. All that is known is that he is an evil that no one ever expected to face. He has killed so many that it's essentially countless. Everyone believed that he was unbeatable. Until a prophecy was made.

In 1979, a woman named Sybill Trelawney was at Hogs Head to talk to Dumbledore, the greatest wizard in the world, about a professorship on Divination in Hogwarts. Dumbledore agreed to speak to her because of her family history. Her great grandmother, Cassandra Trelawney, was a famous seer, one of a rare few to exist, who prophesied many things before she passed. The ministry has collected many of her prophecies to interpret but not many can decipher the meanings of some the prophecies that she had made.

Now Dumbledore has come to see if that gift was passed down to the latest of the Trelawney line.

"Good evening Sybill. How are you?" Dumbledore asked her with a friendly tone.

"Oh-uh. I-I'm doing well Headmaster Dumbledore. Thank you for asking" Sybill said nervously to the grand wizard. He smiles at her for this.

"If I'm not mistaken, you want to talk to me about a position in Hogwarts within the Divination department. Correct?" Dumbledore asked her. She then nods her head

"Y-Yes sir. That is correct" Sybill answered.

"Very well. To see if you are indeed worthy of this position. I must ask that you participate in some tests to prove that you are capable of seeing the future. Is that acceptable for you" he asks her to which she nods in acceptance.

"That is acceptable Headmaster." She says as they begin the test. As this is happening, Dumbledore and Sybill are unknowing being watched by a man in dark clothing. This man is Severus Snape, one of Voldemort's acolytes that are known as Death Eaters. He is tasked on watching Dumbledore's every move and to relay any information back to his master. Snape is watching and listening this exchange very attentively but is not completely subtle that people don't notice him if one were to look.

An hour had passed and Dumbledore had given Sybill every test that he could think of to see if she is a seer like her great grandmother and so far she has failed every test consistently. Dumbledore is disappointed at this because he really wanted a seer within his ranks. Sybill was beginning to lose hope on being a professor at Hogwarts. Then something unexpected happened. Sybill suddenly gasped with an intake of air and grabbed Dumbledore's left hand tightly to hold herself together.

Dumbledore was shocked at what's happening but then realizes that Sybill is having a vision of the future. Sybill then looks at Dumbledore with a scared expression and goes to speak the prophecy. Snape notices this and listens closely.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies..." Sybill says as though she is possessed.

"and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies" Sybill finished as she shakes off the weird feeling she felt. Dumbledore looks at her amazed at what just happened while Sybill just looks confused.

"D-Did I say something?" She asks him. Dumbledore then realizes that her Seer abilities must be too raw for her to remember it.

"I believe that you saying that you were excited on being a part of the staff of Hogwarts" He says to her with a gentle smile. Sybill then smiles in pure enthusiasm.

"Thank you Headmaster. Thank you, I promise I won't let you down" she says to him.

"I know you won't" he tells her while holding her hands comfortably.

He continues to discuss the obligations of the office that she will be in while at the same time he is creating a list of potential people that Voldemort might target next year at the end of July. Too many possibilities and no leads to narrow it down. He needs to hurry and find out or else more blood will be spilt.

Meanwhile, Severus met with his master at the underground room of The Serpents Tail, a resident hotel but secretly one of their headquarters in England. Severus tells Voldemort, a man that's more reptilian than anything else, of the prophecy he was able to hear. This shocks and angers Voldemort immensely. He roars in rage, destroying several items in the process scaring both Severus and his pet snake, Nagini.

"If what you say is true Severus, then soon Dumbledore will have weapon that'll have the power to destroy me. We must not let that happen. Do you understand?" He asks his acolyte.

"Yes my lord" Snape says stoically but hiding his fear well.

"Find out who this prophecy is referring to. This child must die before it becomes a threat to everything I plan to achieve" Voldemort orders Snape.

"Of course my lord" Snape says as he leaves the room to find out the information. Voldemort then looks at Nagini warmly and caresses her head.

"Soon Nagini. Soon this world will be ours for the taking and nothing will stand in our way" he tells her in a rare language called Parseltongue, the language of serpents.

"I look forward to it" Nagini replies happily as she travels around her masters neck and rests body. Voldemort smiles in satisfaction. Soon this chosen hero will die by his hand and his reign on this Earth will never end.

Two years later...

Snape had found out three potential families that gave birth to a child at the end of July and told Voldemort. These three children potentially could be the chosen one to vanquish the Dark Lord. The three families were the LongBottoms, the Potters and the Lothbroks.

The LongBottoms and the Potters were affiliated with the Light as well as being members of the Order of the Phoenix, a group created to fight the Dark Lord's forces. The Lothrbroks, on the other hand, were a uncertainty. Based on what Snape found, the Lothbroks held no allegiance to either side. Believing that choosing would cause targets on their backs. So they wished to not be involved so as to protect their child and wait out this war.

Snape was shocked to know that the Potters were a potential targets because of his childhood love and former friend, Lily, had given birth to the potential chosen one. Snape went to warn Dumbledore as soon as he heard and was willing to do anything to make sure that she was safe. He cared little for the rest because, to him, they don't matter.

But it was too late. Voldemort was setting his sights on the Potters and the Lothbroks. The reason that was the case was because both children were half-bloods. Little did anybody know was that Voldemort was a half-blood and not a pure-blood that the wizarding world believed him to be. Voldemort has kept that a secret for a long time. Only one person knows his heritage and one day soon that person will die by his hand. But now he must focus on the task that he has set for himself to achieve. These two children must die at his hand but many would say that he can't be at two places at once.

They are wrong to believe that. Voldemort has learned many dark spells over the years. Some so dark that they are forbidden to be used but this did not deter him. Voldemort found an ancient spell that would allow the caster to form a doppelgänger of himself so that he can kill the children at the same time. The name of this spell has been lost through the ages but there was a warning for using such a spell. To create a doppelgänger one must be willing to separate a piece their soul for the double to be in existence which would weaken the original considerably. The copy would have all of the memories and skills of the spellcaster but both original and copy would feel the sensations and emotions of the other. If one of them was hurt, the hurt would be affected by it as well. The combination of feelings between two copies of oneself would drive the spellcaster mad and be driven to death.

This was a spell perfect for the Dark Lord to use as he goes to kill these two children. Fortunately, the children were close to one another in Godrics Hollow. The original would go to the Potter home while the copy would head to the Lothbroks.

The Lothbroks lived in a decent sized house that was bigger in the inside thanks to the use of magic. Inside was William Lothbrok, a man with dark black hair and blue eyes who is a Hogwarts graduate of the Slytherin house, and Isabel Lothbrok, a woman with brown hair and brown eyes who is also a Hogwarts graduate but of the Ravenclaw house.

What was interesting about William was that he is one of the rare few who did not agree with the sentiments of pure-blood supremacy by his fellow Slytherins and acolytes of Voldemort. While a pure-blood himself, he did not believe that his kind were superior to others and should rule the rest of wizard kind. This dissociation of the pure-blood cause made him a bit of a pariah for those aligned with the Dark but he was respected by both sides for he was cunning and powerful.

Isabel, on the other hand, is a muggle that was fiercely intelligent. She learned spells and potions faster than most of her classmates and colleagues. She also is a brave soul, standing up against the arrogant pure bloods within the other houses, mostly Slytherin, to show that she and other like her are worthy of being wizards. This made her hated by a fair amount of pure bloods and praised by the half bloods and muggleborns.

William and Isabel met in the Hogwarts library to do an assignment for their shared class of Potions. Their meeting was at first rough but over time they respected each other for both were smart and capable wizards despite being a pure-blood and muggleborn respectively. They interacted with each other a lot during their time in Hogwarts and soon enough they fell in love and had gotten married. Both of them work in the ministry with William as a politician in the Wizengamot and Isabel as a Unspeakable in the Ministry's department of mysteries. They live in Godrics Hollow because it's a nice and quiet place where ones privacy is more secured than most areas.

Currently, William was sitting in his favorite chair working on some paper work regarding new policies to be put to a vote within the Wizengamot. Most of these policies have a goal to ensure a more tolerant society between the pure-bloods and the muggleborns. While he share sentiments with the Light regarding the treatment of non-pure bloods within the wizarding world, William has to be pragmatic enough to appease both parties with certain requirements that would be acceptable to the majority on both sides. Not an easy task but it must be done.

Meanwhile, his beautiful wife Isabel is sitting on the sofa nearby with their child in her arms. Their one year old son, Alexander "Alex" Lothbrok, born on July 31, 1980. Their pride and joy. Isabel was just cradling the boy so lovingly that she was warped into her own world where she, her husband and their child were all there is. William saw this and smiled at his wife and his son. The two people in this world that he would sacrifice anything to protect.

"How is the young Lothbrok?" William asked.

"He's well and fast asleep" Isabel chuckles "he looks like you when you sleep"

"Oh watching me closely when I'm unconscious are you?" William asks his wife with a coy smile. Isabel then produces a blush as she was caught red handed.

"I-I don't know what you are talking about" Isabel tried to say convincingly but is failing. William laughs at this and stops what he is doing to sit next to his wife. He then wraps his arm around her to bring her close to him.

"You are so adorable when you are in denial" he said to her while kissing her neck lovingly.

"S-Shut up" she tells him with a huge blush on her face.

Both lovers then looked at each other. Happy to be together for all of these years and now have a child to look after. They then kissed each other lovingly as a testament to their marriage. Nothing could ruin this moment.

They were wrong.

Out of nowhere there was a deafening sound at the front door. It sounded as though a cannon went off. William and Isabel ducked down to the ground while their son was crying. William goes to look at what happened and sees that someone blasted the door open.

Soon he sees a dark cloaked figure coming through menacingly, leaking off immense power. This made William realize that the Dark Lord has come to his home. Isabel told William of a prophecy she heard about the death of the Dark Lord by someone born at the end of July. It didn't take long for them to know that Alexander could be a candidate to be the chosen one. Though they had hoped that this was not the case for other children could be born that day.

It would seem that their assumption was wrong.

"Isabel, take Alex upstairs to the bedroom and lock yourselves in. Contact help if you can. I'll hold him off" William tells his wife. She looks at him with great fear.

"William you can't. He's far too powerful for you to duel against." She tells him frantically but he looks at her with a warm expression.

"As long as you and Alex are safe, I will have the strength to fight back. Now go" he tells her as he takes out his wand and prepares to fight. Isabel wanted to argue more but she had no choice but to flee into upstairs. Leaving William to face the Dark Lord

"Oh William, you should've joined me when you had the chance. It's such a waste to kill pure blood wizards like yourself." Voldemort taunted William.

"I do not believe in your cause Voldemort. I don't care what happens to me but you will not kill my son" William tells the Dark Lord. Voldemort chuckled at this.

"You are very brave to speak my name without fear. If I didn't know that you were a Slytherin, I would've assumed that you would be a Gryffindor. But one way or another, your son will die by my hand" Voldemort tells him.

Both of them lock eyes at each other with wands ready. William knows that he is not as strong as Voldemort but he won't let that stop him from fighting him. In a few short moments, the battle begins.

Voldemort fires some hexes at William. He blocks them and fires a few of his own. Voldemort blocks them as well and uses wandless magic to throw several objects at William. William dodges some of the objects and blasts the rests.

"Diffindo" William yells as he aims the severing charm the Dark Lord. Voldemort just swipes it away. William then goes on a onslaught of spells that he knew including the unforgivables. What Voldemort didn't block, he dodged. This went on for a little bit until Voldemort uses wandless magic to throw a chair at William.

William didn't see this coming and was hit hard by the object. This disorients him for a bit giving Voldemort enough time to disarm William of his wand and blast him to the floor. He didn't kill him though.

Voldemort walks towards William and looks at his opponent with respect.

"You have fought well, William Lothbrok. Not many could duel me for such a long period. You have my respect. Now I shall gift you a reward." Voldemort said as he readies his wand towards William. William then decides to speak.

"There will be a day when your evil will be gone from this world. I don't know if my son is the chosen one but on the chance that he is, he will come for you and avenge us as well as all those who were murdered by you hand. Your time is done" William says to him defiantly. Voldemort looks at him and laughs.

"Foolish boy. My time will never be done for I am immortal. Neither your son or anyone else that will come against me will succeed. All will join me or die. Farewell William Lothbrok" Voldemort readies his wand again "AVADA KEDAVRA"

A green blast hits William in the chest, killing him instantly. William Lothbrok is now dead and the Dark Lord goes upstairs to finish the job. Voldemort could hear the boy, who was crying behind a locked door, and the hushed whisperings of a woman trying to comfort him. He stood in front of the door and pointed his wand at it. The door blasted off if its handles and Isabel screamed. She stood in front of Alex, sitting in his crib, with her wand pointed at him.

"You should be proud of your husband. He died a warrior. A shame really. He would've helped me greatly in this war" he tells Isabel.

"Get away from us you monster" Isabel screams as she is about to hit him with a spell. Unfortunately, he saw that coming and disarmed her before she could cast it.

"Stupid mudblood" Voldemort aims his wand at her "AVADA KEDAVRA"

The green blasts hits Isabel as she screams the name of her son as her final words. Alex just looks at his mother with more tears in his eyes. He then looks at the approaching dark figure in front of him pointing his wand near his face. The copy Voldemort aims his wand at Alex while the original does the same for Harry.

"AVADA KEDAVRA" they both say at the same time as a green blast hits the two children. But something happens, something that was impossible. Instead of killing both children, the Kilking Curse seemed to reflect from the two boys and hit the casters instead. Both Voldemorts screamed in pain as the curse was destroying their bodies. Soon enough, the original and the doppelgänger exploded in a shockwave of powerful magic. Voldemort's bodies disappeared from their locations and his magic gone from this world. Every wizard could feel that the Dark Lord was gone especially Albus Dumbledore.

Dumbledore .McGonagall, and Hagrid arrived at Godrics Hollow and went to pick up the two children.

They were shocked that these two boys were able to defeat the Dark Lord and came out unscathed. Except they had matching scars on their foreheads that resembled a lightning bolt.

"I did not know that the Lothbroks had a child" he commented as he looks at Alex who is under a magic induced sleep, same as Harry.

"It would seem that the Dark Lord wanted to kill these two children at the same time but how? I've never heard of such magic" McGonagall said in confusion. She knows many spells but clearly there are spells that allude her understanding.

"I do not know Minerva but it would seem that the war is over. These boys will be famous in our world, they need to be far away from such attention until it's time for them to go to Hogwarts." Dumbledore said to his friends.

"Where will they go Headmaster" Hagrid asked

"Harry will live with his relatives at Privet Drive. He needs to be with his family. Unfortunately, Alex is not so lucky. I think it would be wise to put him in a muggle orphanage for the time being." Dumbledore suggested. This shocked McGonagall and Hagrid

"Are you mad Albus? Putting the boy in an orphanage is wrong. There has to be another way." She protested.

"Do not worry Minerva. The orphanage will be watched by some of our allies to protect him from any Death Eaters that wish to finish what the Dark Lord started. He will be safe, I assure you." Dumbledore reasoned with her. Hagrid nodded in agreement of this while Minerva was reluctant to agree but had to because it made sense.

Dumbledore tasked himself and Hagrid as the ones to drop Harry off to his relatives while Minerva was tasked to take him to the orphanage.

She carefully aparrated with Alex to a well-known muggle orphanage in the middle of London known as St. Emiliani's. She dropped the boy in front of their doorstep, writes his name on a card and was about to knock on the door. But she stops herself for a moment and looks at the young boy. She somewhat believes that this is the right way to protect him but is uncertain. She decides to offer him words of comfort before he lives in this place.

"I am sorry for what happened to you. I wish that there was another way but I can see no other option. You will grow up confused about your parents. Wondering if they loved you or not. I can assure you that they did. With all of their heart. Be strong young Alex and I know that one day you will become a great wizard, just like your parents. Till we meet again" McGonagall said to Alex as she knocks on the door, sets him down and apparates away.

Little did she realize that Alex had a smile on his face. Perhaps it's because he understood what she said in his own way. Few moments later, the front door is opened by a young muggle nun with blond hair and eyes. She looks at the baby in the ground and picks him up. She observes her surroundings and tries to find out who left him here but she sees nothing. She looks at the sleeping baby, who looks to be having a good dream for he has a smile on his face. The nun smiles at this boy and takes him inside to be with the other children.

Little does she realize that this boy shares a destiny far beyond her understanding with another. This boy will become something great one day but the question is: how long can he survive until he fulfills his greatness?

Only time will tell.

Hey guys, just wrote this Harry Potter story idea that I got in my head. The premise is that Harry wasn't the only baby that Voldemort tried to kill that night in Godrics Hollow. Alex and Harry both are Horcruxes to Voldemort and someday will have to fight him.

You can probably guess which house Alex is going to be in. Syltherin house would love to have a chosen hero in their ranks.

Hope you guys enjoy this and let me know what you think. This is me, signing out.
