Chapter 1: Two abandoned children.

Deep inside the forbidden forest, a hooded figure was standing in middle of dozens of corpses. "It seems that they conducted a dark ritual here". The hooded figure sensed that he was being observed. He quickly took out his wand and pointed towards big tree.

"Come out, I know you are there" shouted the hooded figure.

Another hooded figure came forward, "As expected from a master of Occlumency, Severus would you like to tell me what you are doing here?"

"Isn't it you Lucius, Why are you following me? Didn't the dark lord give you a different work to do?" Said Snape.

Lucius started walking towards the pile of corpses and tightly gripped his wand. "I saw you sneaking out of the castle. And here you are killing our own. I knew we shouldn't have trusted you".

Snape sighed, "Is this why you came following me, I am here on the order of the dark lord to bring him something. But when I arrived I saw only corpses. I am trying to find the thing now. "

Lucius laughed "Didn't you get the news, dark lord is already dead." As they were speaking they heard small cry of a baby.

Snape hurried towards the cry as Lucius followed him. They found a small baby wrapped in a cloth covered by blood.

Lucius disgusted to see a child snorted, "A toddler!" he pointed his wand towards the baby.

"Avadaaa…" Just as he was about to complete the spell the sky turned blood red the moon turned black. Noticing the changes Snape stopped Lucius.

"Stupefy…"

Just as he stopped Lucius the sky became normal.

He picked up the baby, Just as he held him the baby stopped crying. He felt that he was now connected with this child now.

"I need to speak with Dumbledore about this"

Little Whinging, Surrey

An old man wearing a robe was walking down a street, he took out a strange device from his pocket. Just as he opened it the light from the street lamps went inside the device making the whole street dark. He walked a bit ahead and exclaimed, "I knew you would be here Professor McGonagall" while looking towards a cat.

The cat turned into an old woman, "Good Evening Professor Dumbledore, Is that true what the people are saying? Albus"

Dumbledore replied, "I am afraid but both of those things are true, good as well as the bad"

Minerva exclaimed and asked worriedly, "And what about the child". Dumbledore reassured her by saying, "Hagrid is bringing him, don't worry I would even trust my life with Hagrid"

A loud motorcycle noise could be heard from the night sky. Hagrid had arrived. He got off from his motorcycle, "Professor Dumbledore sir, Professor McGonagall" He greeted and handed the child in his arms to Dumbledore. "He slept before I even started the flight".

"Albus are you sure we should let this child be with them, These people are the worst sort of muggles I have ever seen" McGonagall was worried.

"Minerva, It's necessary they are the only family he has. If he is with them he will be protected from the people of the wizarding world" He looked at the sad crying face of Hagrid and said, "Hagrid, It's just for few years".

The sky turned blood red and the moon became black. But just in few seconds the sky returned to normal.

"What was that!!" exclaimed McGonagall.

Dumbledore stared towards the sky.

Headmaster's Office, Hogwarts Castle.

Dumbledore was anxiously waiting for Snape to arrive. He got a letter from an owl sent by Snape saying that there was something important he wanted to talk with him about.

He couldn't keep his composure because of which he started mumbling to himself while walking in his office "I don't think Tom would die this easily, the dark lord may return someday".

Snape had just arrived in the office. He was wearing a different black robe and had the baby wrapped in his arms sleeping quietly, "It's impossible, the dark lord is gone he won't be coming back".

Dumbledore had noticed that Severus entered the office he stopped walking around the office and made a gesture to Snape to have a seat. As they both sat down Dumbledore said "Tell me did you find what Voldemort sent you to find".

Snape was furious he shouted "Trying to change the topic, there is no way the dark lord can return. He is dead and the dead can't come back to life" Saying this he showed a sad expression.

"Normal people can't, but I am not so sure about tom, He is different. Tom has studied the dark magic to a level we can't imagine. Even I wasn't sure, if I would be able to defeat him" Dumbledore said in a serious voice.

Severus didn't know how to react at this statement but he had no choice but to accept what he was saying he thought 'The words said by the strongest wizard can't be false'.

Dumbledore noticed that Severus was holding a baby in his arms, he asked, "Severus whose child are you holding?"

Severus showed a sorrow full expression and explained to Dumbledore what had happened. Dumbledore listened to him quietly then he asked, "So what are you going to do with this child?"

"There may be other people who may know about this child, and I am pretty sure this child has something to do with the ritual. He is not safe with me as I am a former death eater. if you take in the boy he might be mistaken as harry and still be in danger, we don't even know if he is a wizard or not. The best course of action would be to leave him in an orphanage."

Dumbledore looked towards Severus, "Are you sure?" he asked. Severus nodded.

Wool's Orphanage, London

This is a square building surrounded by high railings. The interior looks very shabby, but it is very tidy and clean, without a spot. This orphanage has been around for a long time, the children who grew up support the orphanage now that can give back to the orphanage. This was not the case before, it was just an ordinary orphanage on the verge of being bankruptcy, and the caretaker Mr. Gary took care of the children the best he could. But Mr. Gary got old and couldn't take care of the kids anymore hence the position of caretaker was taken over by Mrs. Cole, ordinary middle aged woman.

"Dang… dang… dang…"

The knock on the door was so loud, as if someone was trying to break it open.

Mrs. Cole who was knitting on a chair, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, and hurried to the door.

"Who would come to visit such an old orphanage at such a time?"

She was opened the door to find there was no one there, but just as she looked down. She saw a child covered in a warm blanket. She picked up the small baby in her hands.

"Aren't you a cute one, don't worry now I will take care of you"

She noticed there was a note in the basket. She picked it up and read it.

Note: - Take good care of him.

His name is Liam Gremory.
