Welcome, everyone.
Before you start reading I would like to say a few things. This story will be rewritten completely. It was my first story I wrote and I made many mistakes. They haunted me later on and I just couldn't go on. Too many plot-holes got created, and I fucked up the beginning of the story.
The last chapter of this story has more information about why I decided to rewrite so you can go there and check it out. I will leave an announcement in this story when I release the rewrite.
Still, you can read this version of the story and see for yourself why I decided to start from the beginning.

Chapter 1: Things that they cannot see
Hogwarts, Headmaster's office
Many would say that after living for more than a century one would know the answer to any question. Unfortunately, it seems that once more Albus Dumbledore the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry doesn't have a clue what to do now.
He just came back from the interview for a Divination position in his school. He was hoping that the last person that came to him won't be of any use to him and he will be able to finally drop the subject as it is mostly useless without the seer blood.
Sighing, he ran a hand through his long beard. Sybill Trelawney, she came to him and he was quite sure that the position is done for. Unfortunately, the woman decided to give him a prophecy in the middle of the inn.
Normally he would not care about a prophecy, but Lady Luck was not smiling towards him and she decided that it would be a good idea to let a Death Eater hear a part of the prophecy. Albus only reacted when Sybill was already halfway with it and only then the death eater ran away.
Again, this would not be anything bad, but the prophecy talked about the one who will finally vanquish Dark Lord Voldemort. This gave Albus a pause, if there will be someone born who can finally do the job, then he or she needs to be protected. Now he only knows of two families that are expecting a child so for now, he will wait and see if any of them are capable of defeating the Dark Lord.
Yes... Now he can only wait.
A few months later
A woman with fiery red hair and a beautiful face that was now covered in sweat from an exhausting process that just finished was cradling two babies in her arms. Her name was Lily Potter, wife of James Potter who was standing next to her bed smiling at the new addition to his family.
James is a tall, thin man with hazel eyes and untidy black hair that stuck up at the back and glasses covering his eyes. After looking for a moment at his children he took the boy from his wife and showed him to his friends, Remus Lupin a man with a brown hair and rough and Sirius Black a tall, well-built, darkly handsome male with fair skin, black hair, striking grey eyes.
Looking back at the small child, he could already see that his son inherited the emerald eyes of his mother and his black unruly hair, "Your little one will be Daniel Charlus Potter, heir to the Potter House," the baby giggled and tried to reach his father's face with his small hands, "We decided that if you accept Remus, we would like you to be his Godfather."
Remus was clearly shocked but nonetheless accepted the position.
Then Lily cleared her throat and brought her daughter closer to her, she like her mother also has green eyes and black hair like her father. "Diana Rose Potter, our beautiful daughter. And Sirius, would you accept the position of being her Godfather?"
Sirius did not waste even a moment to accept their offer.
After a few minutes of talking, they heard a soft knock on the door. After getting an answer, the door swung open and their ex-headmaster walked in, wearing a smile and weird colored robes.
"Ah, I see that I came just in time to congratulate you two, I hope that all went well and the children are healthy," said Dumbledore with a smile while looking at the new family. Lily is the first to come out of her shock at seeing the headmaster here spoke, "Thank you professor, and yes the children are healthy, but I can't help but wonder what are you doing here?" asked curious redhead as it really is not normal for Albus Dumbledore to visit you out of the blue.
"Yes Lily you are right, I came here with a purpose, but first could I see the children?" After getting an affirmative answer, he slowly went over to the children and looked at them with a serious look, he could clearly feel the power coming from the boy, but the girl was not even releasing an ounce of magic. Well, nothing to fear, she still has a lot of time to develop her magic.
"You truly got beautiful children, Lily, James, but with that out of the way I came to ask you to come to Hogwarts in 3 days along with your children. And yes, Sirius, Remus you can come as well, there is a really important matter that we need to speak of. Unfortunately, we need more private setting plus there are some other people that need to hear it so I hope that it won't be a problem," Dumbledore ended with a tired look coming to his face, he really didn't want to do this but it was important for the safety of the families.
"We will be there Headmaster, we just need to get a hold of everything now that we are parents," said James is gaining a thoughtful look. It would be nice to know that the Headmaster needs from them, but now is not the time for it, he needs to take care of his family.
"I am glad, I will see you in 3 days," with that Dumbledore walked out and disappeared with a soft sound of an apparition.
3 days later, Hogwarts castle
"I am sorry for taking time from you all, but there is something that we all need to speak of... Some time ago I received a prophecy that speaks of someone capable of defeating Lord Voldemort," there were loud gasps all around the room, but he still continued, "The prophecy speaks of a child that was born when the seventh month dies from those that defied him thrice and I am quite sure that it speaks of one of your children."
Every occupant of the room gained a look of shock, worry or fear. It pained Dumbledore to give them such a grave news, but it needs to be done, "I know that it is a lot to take in but the most important thing right now is to be calm and make plans so your children will be safe," when the looks changed to determination, he smiled and continued, "I knew of this for some time and that's why I prepared a plan so the Potters and Longbottoms will be safe. We will get you to a smaller and safe location and utilize the Fidelius Charm to hide you from sight. Now you need to choose a safe location and a Secret Keeper."
With the plan presented to them, they all started to discuss locations and who will be their secret keeper. After 2 hours of discussion, things were finally settled down. Longbottoms finished their plan first and decided to leave so they could prepare. That left only the Potters and their friends in the room.
"I don't know guys, don't you think that if you just disappear, they will suspect that I am the secret keeper?" this was a valid question and they decided to go to their house in Godric's Hollow and make their other friend Peter a secret keeper. With all of that out of the way, everyone said their goodbyes and left to prepare.
2 days later, Unknown location
Voldemort was sitting in his study thinking about the prophecy that was delivered to him by Severus Snape, a new Death Eater, and an accomplished potioner. He felt that the prophecy was amusing because how a child without any skill and experience could defeat him. Nonetheless, he decided that it would not do well for him to leave something like that so he scouted whose child is the one that they prophecy speak of. His train of thought was stopped by a knock on the door. Giving permission to enter, in walked one of his best soldiers.
"Tell me, Lucius, how is the search going?" asked the dark lord menacingly making the man in question fidget nervously is his place.
"I am sorry my Lord, but we were unable to find them, it is just like they disappeared from the world," answered Lucius Malfoy a pale man with pointed face, pale blond hair, and cold grey eyes. All the while not looking at his lord in fear of what he would see. And right he was as on the dark lord's face appeared vicious sneer.
"It would be good for you Lucius to look at me while you are answering, did you hear me?" shouted Voldemort, really why all of them need to so incompetent he always needs to do everything by himself.
Lucius just looked paler than before and quickly replied, "Yes, my Lord."
"Then tell me please, how two families which are always on the front lines against us just vanished," said Voldemort, he already had a clue what happened, but he needs to punish his subject and he could only smile like a sadist when he saw the fear on Lucius's face.
"We don't know my Lord, I am sorry," was the quick reply from the Malfoy Head which earned him as quick response.
"I don't care for your apology, 'Crucio'" Voldemort declared while pointing his wand at the blond man and a second later he was tossing in pain on the floor from the Cruciatus curse. Having enough of man's screams the Dark Lord ended the curse and declared, "I hope that there won't be any more disappointments from you Lucius."
"Yes, my Lord," replied Lucius in a hoarse voice still fidgeting and having trouble standing still because of the aftereffects from Cruciatus.
"Now get out before I lose my patience with you," said Voldemort and with that Lucius bowed and quickly made his way out of the study.
After being left alone Voldemort came back to his thoughts, "Yes I may not be able to find you yet, but don't worry soon enough I will get you and your savior will die," all that could be heard after that was the deranged laugh of Lord Voldemort.
More than a year later, one week before Halloween, Unknown Location
In Voldemort's manor, one person was quickly making his way to his lord's chamber with great news. Coming to the doors, he knocked and after receiving an answer, he went in, bowed deeply and waited.
"What is it Lucius, why are you wasting my time and remember if it is nothing important you will be punished severely," warned Voldemort directing a glare at his subordinate.
"No my Lord, we finally have a clue on Potter's location," that was all it took to have his lord full attention. The look in Voldemort's eyes slightly unnerved the blond, especially when you take under the consideration the snakelike visage of the Dark Lord, it was really fearful sight.
"Yes, Lucius speak I don't have the whole day to listen to you," not true but no one needs to know.
"The new recruit Wormtail is a secret keeper for Potters and he knows where they are," Lucius was proud of himself that he could keep calm before his Lord.
Voldemort hearing that quickly flared his magic and called Wormtail to him by using the Dark Mark which was located on Lucius's forearm. The mark looked like a skull with a snake coming from its mouth. A few seconds later there was a loud crack signaling the appearance of another person. The man was extremely short with grubby skin, small watery eyes, and a pointed nose. This was Peter Pettigrew aka Wormtail.
The man bowed deeply and asked in his squeaky voice, "What can I do for you, my Lord?"
"Ah, Yes Wormtail, I just received a piece of information from Lucius here that you are Potter's secret keeper, is that true?" asked Voldemort staring at him with a creepy look.
Peter squeaked and nodded, "Yes, my Lord, they have made me their secret keeper more than a year ago," hearing that response Voldemort only smiled menacingly and proceeded to think for a minute.
"Good, very, very good... Wormtail you will go with me when I will call you and I will take care of Potters once and forever do you understand?" ordered Dark Lord to his death eater. Wormtail only nodded and quickly left after being dismissed.
Then Voldemort turned to Lucius, who was watching the whole thing with a smug look on his face, Dark Lord seeing this sneered and said to Malfoy, "Yes, Lucius you have something to be proud of but still I don't know where the Longbottoms are so you better hope that you find them quickly or I will be most displeased, now dismissed."
After Malfoy left Voldemort was finally left alone, looking around the room he sighed and thought, "Finally once the Potters are gone only Longbottoms will be left and I will be able to focus on my previous goal, yes good day indeed."
One day before Halloween, Dark's Lord Manor
"It is good to see you, my faithful servants, I bring good news soon the Potters will meet their demise and we will be one step closer to fulfilling our plan," Voldemort announced to his inner circle, they were the best of the best among his death eaters and while they were important, the dark lord could care less if something happened to them.
One such member of his inner circle was one Severus Snape, who is a thin man with sallow skin, a large, hooked nose, and yellow, uneven teeth. Hearing the worlds of dark lord Snape went rigid, "demise, no, no, no it can't be, even if I hate the fool James, I can't allow Lily die even if it is the last thing that I will do," thought Severus, after getting dismissed he quickly approached to the only place that he knows that can give him help. Upon arriving at Hogwarts gates, he stopped and waited, he knew that the old goat will come soon. After a minute of waiting, Albus Dumbledore appeared in all his glory.
"What do we got here... a young death eater. Well, that's a surprise you must be really stupid or brave to approach me alone without your master," spoke the Leader of the Light in a calm but serious voice without his usual twinkle in his eyes.
Severus only gritted his teeth and finally spoke, "As much as I hate it, I need your help. Dark Lord is planning something against Potters, I don't know when or what but I can't allow this to happen, so do what you must just take care of it," you could hear the anger in his voice but he really tried not to show it.
"So you seek protection for Lily? I see, really how low can you fall? You speak that you want me to save them, but I can see it in you. You only want her to survive and could care less about her children or husband... They are safe but if you really think that they are in danger then I will see what I can do. Now, tell me what can you give me in exchange for my help."
Snape gritted his teeth even more how the old man dares, he gives him information about his precious family and it is still not enough to let him go? Alright, let's see what the old goat wants, "I will give you anything, just make sure that she is safe. I don't care what you think of me just do it."
"I see from now on you will spy for me, you will tell me every single thing and protect Lily's family in the future do you understand?" the twinkle was gone replaced with the man that defeated Grindelwald. Snape could do nothing but nod because of the aura that the man was releasing.
After that Dumbledore requested an oath so Severus wouldn't betray him, Snape gave it with anger in his eyes as he was now forever in the service of the old goat.
Albus dismissed the man and told him that he will contact him soon. Snape left as fast as he could not wanting to stay in his presence any longer. He needs to think about what will happen to his life right now as a double agent.
Luckily for him, his new status won't last long and for the first time in his life, he will gain some semblance of peace.
Albus Dumbledore after getting over the news again decided to call a meeting of his Order tomorrow. They will find something to make Potters safer.
The next day, Halloween
It was the time of Halloween, the darkness has already fallen and in the castle of Hogwarts heated discussion was taking place. When the members got the message they just thought that it was a normal meeting, but when they were told that the headmaster got information that something was being done against Potters they all quickly got serious.
"Maybe we should just transport them to a new place," spoke one of the members.
"Now that would not work my dear, we don't know what they are planning so it may work even if we change it," replied Dumbledore with a serious expression. He looked around and noticed the looks of worry and fear. It was really sad to watch, "No, we need to do something else, something that will guarantee Potters safety."
Again the discussion started and went on for some time when finally Remus spoke, "Maybe they could come to Hogwarts for some time as we figure out a better solution, we all know that there is no safer place than this castle at this moment."
Immediately all members perked up at the idea and Dumbledore replied again, "Yes, that could work. I will prepare some free space so you will be able to stay here."
Lily and James were about to reply when a look of horror and fear came to the redhead's face, "No, no, no the wards James, the wards, someone breached them we need to go, fast!" with that she quickly ran out of headmaster's office and left pale and horror-stricken members behind her. Getting a hold of themselves, they quickly ran after Lily to see if the worst happened.
30 minutes earlier, Godric's Hollow
Along the streets of Godric's Hollow walked lone figure draped in a black cloak covering its face and body from the whole world. Lord Voldemort glared at the children running around the streets, "puny Muggles and their disgusting holidays," he walked along when he came to a place that Peter spoke of, in his line of sight were two, two-story houses, after waiting for a few seconds the space between the houses started to grow and after it finished into the view came another house from which one could hear laughter.
Voldemort quickly sensed 4 people in the house, thinking that it was the entire family, he brought his yew wand before him and aimed at the door of the house.
Quickly firing an overpowered and silent blasting curse the effect was instantaneous and the door and chunks of the wall were blown away, making a pretty large hole in the house.
Charlus Potter, father of James Potter and a man that looked like an older version of his son, sensing something wrong quickly turned to his wife Dorea Potter nee Black and said, "take the children to the nursery and cast as many wards as you can. Don't let anyone in do you understand?" his wife seeing that he was serious didn't complain and nodded. She took the children and ran upstairs.
Voldemort looked at the destruction and smiled viciously, but his smile turned into a sneer when he saw who stepped out of the house, "Charlus Potter you are not the one who I expected here but nonetheless you will die if you don't move aside."
Charlus looked at him without any emotions, he knew that he doesn't really have a big chance at victory, but he will do what he can. He was no pushover, he fought against Grindelwald and he can proudly say that in his prime he was one of the most feared fighters on the battlefield even fighting against Grindelwald himself and surviving.
Without missing a beat, he sent 2 silent and fast stunners after which he transfiguration some rubble around him in various animals to attack Voldemort. The Dark Lord seeing that snarled and deflected the stunners and sent back a string of deadly curses along with one killing curse.
After that, he cast some blasting charms to get rid of the animals and banished those that got away from explosions. Charlus seeing the coming curses quickly went to defensive cursing himself for not being in his old form and not being able to dodge and instead needing to shield or repel everything.
Nonetheless, when he saw the green light coming, he conjured a piece of marble before him to block the curse. Voldemort took notice of that and got tired of the battle and finally get serious.
Casting a pair of blasting curses he quickly followed it by one killing curse while transfiguring things around him in spikes which he sent at the man. Charlus knew that now the battle was on and started firing back with the same viciousness.
Unfortunately, he slowly started getting overpowered. Cuts were visible on his legs and arms, and one spike was lodged in his stomach. He saw the ropes coming behind him, but the pain was too great and he could do nothing but watch as his demise approached.
After being bound the spells stopped coming and Voldemort slowly walked towards the man.
"It's a pity that such noble blood is being wasted, but nonetheless I applaud you for this fight, it really shows that the old blood is strong," announced the Dark Lord while watching the bound man with an arrogant smirk on his face, "but still nothing can stand against the heir of Slytherin."
Charles only spit out some blood on Voldemort's clothes and looked at him with a glare, "You might think that this is over but you will never get my grandchildren."
Dark Lord only sneered at the blood and Potter's words.
Pointing his wand at his he said, "Avada Kedavra."
A sickly green light shoots out of the wand and hit the man in the chest. Charlus Potter was officially dead, but at least he went out fighting.
With that done Voldemort decided that it is time to take care of the Potter brats. Walking the stairs where he could sense the rest of the occupants, he stopped before the door to the nursery, sensing a pretty good amount of wards he started destroying them one by one.
A few minutes later he was done and blasted the door off its hinges. Walking in he was greeted by the sight of Dorea Potter, who was standing between him and two baby cribs.
"Move aside woman I have no wish to kill another of noble blood," snarled Voldemort, Dorea quickly gained the look of determination and sadness at her husband's death but she knew that she will be joining him soon.
"I will not let you harm them," replied Dorea.
Voldemort seeing the defiance knew that there is no other way and aimed his wand. After firing the killing curse Dorea Potter was dead and lay unmoving on the floor. Finally, being done with the brat's grandparents, he looked at the children in the cribs.
The first one he could see will be the exact copy of his father only with his mother's eyes and was already giving him a headache with his crying. He turned to look at the girl he was surprised at the look that she was giving him.
She looked at him with such curiosity and intensity that he almost took a step back. Taking hold of himself, he scanned them for magic potential and to his surprise, the girl had almost no magic.
Sneering he thought, "A squib watching me like this, no, she will die first," with that he leveled his wand at the girl and spoke words that will forever change the world, "Avada Kedavra."
The next he knew his curse was heading towards him and at the moment that it connected several things happened.
First was a small explosion of magic which caused some debris to create a bleeding injury on both children only that Diana's magic healed it fast without leaving a sign and Daniel's magic also tried to heal his but only managed to stop the bleeding and create a scar that looked like a V.
Secondly, a part of Voldemort's soul went into the bleeding wound before it healed and shattered Diana's soul into pieces so it could steadily take control of her.
Thirdly, the Dark Lord's body got destroyed and only a shade of his soul remained before fleeing out of the house.
And the last and the most important thing happened in a dimension of souls where two sleeping beings awoke before heading for the one person that could let them come back to the living world even if they won't be the same and their personalities will vanish.
No, the most important thing for them is to leave an heir, someone who will continue their legacy and make their name feared again. With that, they left the soul realm, leaving only a trial of deep violet and pitch-black darkness.
After getting to the child's house both beings went into the girl's soul and started merging with it and thus healing it. As a final result, Diana's soul became one once more and changed its color to black with violet specks. The change occurred not only to her soul as her once black hair became even blacker and if one could see her eyes, they would get lost in her new deep violet eyes.
Silence fell around the house only to get broken by the sound of cracks that signaled the appearance of The Order of the Phoenix.
Unknown location
"After so many years they finally found a host," the being sighed tiredly, really they just couldn't choose any worst moment, now when everything is starting to fall apart.
"I know brother, we both knew that their time is coming and we didn't do anything to intercept. Now it is time to pay the price, we can only hope that they won't seek revenge," the second being said while placing his hand on the other's shoulder in the comforting matter.
"I hope that you are right... If not, then she might cause a lot of problems for us and we won't be able to do anything."
"Let's give her some time and observe, she is still young and much can happen."
EDITED AN: A lot better now.
I hope that you will continue and leave a review with your opinion so I can improve.
Chaos out.
