[HP] Dearest Enemy

Sirius Dumbledore was very unhappy with the decision he had made.Dumbledore told Sirius that not only would Alphat live in his house until August, but that Sirius would also ensure the safety of his own uncle from being discovered by the Death Eaters.The most terrible thing is that the dissatisfied Sirius was completely convinced by this cunning old bee, and he only realized it when he saw Alfred sitting in a daze in the living room. His promise meant that he would be with this let He lived with someone uncomfortable for most of the year.

So Sirius straightened his face again, but it didn't work at all.Alfat didn't care if he was serious or not, because he was shrouded in an uncomfortable gloomy atmosphere, and he didn't have time to feel Sirius' almost wanting to go berserk.

Alphat has one more thing to do for Tom, and now, he has to be patient.

On July 1980, 7, the boy named Harry James Potter was finally born.

Sirius was out all day on the day of Harry's christening, which made Arffate feel a little lonely, but he soon found something to pass the time on.Over the past few months, the relationship between him and Sirius has eased a lot, but he mentioned that whenever Voldemort was mentioned, Arfurt would change the subject, which made Sirius quite dissatisfied.

Alfart took an inventory of all his belongings, then pulled a piece of parchment and began to write a letter, two tasks that consumed almost his entire afternoon.After the letter was written, Alphat sealed the envelope with magic, then walked into Sirius' somewhat messy bedroom, found the thickest book, sandwiched the letter among the pages, and put the book back away.

That's for Sirius.After all, this rebellious nephew is his blood relative, a member of the Black family.Arafate knew how much courage Sirius needed to run away from home, and his own courage had been abandoned by him at the age of 11.Even Tom didn't know what kind of problem the old hat posed to the 11-year-old Alfred when he put on the dirty sorting hat.

In such an uneasy situation, Alphard chose to follow his family.The Sorting Hat had repeatedly advised him to think things through, but Alphard felt insulted at the thought of being sorted into the same house as that awful Weasley on the train.Whether this choice is correct is completely irrelevant now.

Maybe Sirius will be surprised after reading this letter.Alphat couldn't help but curled the corner of his mouth, and gently closed Sirius' door.

Sirius, who became a godfather, was very happy, and would tell Alphard about his lovely godson from time to time.Alphat was very serious when he listened to what Sirius said, but he always had some unbelievable feeling in his heart.For him, Harry Potter is his teacher and his friend.Although Tom said there was only one Harry, Arffate had never imagined what Harry looked like as a baby before this.

The war is still going on, and the Death Eaters are still rampant on the island of Great Britain. Sirius will also participate in the mission of the Order of the Phoenix to fight against the Death Eaters from time to time, sometimes returning with some injuries.Arafat would be worried at this time, but he knew that the war would soon be over.

Everything was proceeding step by step according to the arranged script, and Potter had already hidden.After preparing for so long, it was finally time to meet Harry.

The Potters' hiding place was smuggled back by Hedwig, along with the two-way mirror, a white owl that looked like a ghost floating in the night sky as it slid into the sky above the manor.The secret keeper did not temporarily change to Peter Pedilu, but chose Alfred on Dumbledore's suggestion.Looking at his friend's exhortation and the changed prophecy, Tom smiled lightly, and lit the pale yellow parchment with magic.

Tom picked out a black cloak and put it on, put his wand in his bosom, and walked towards the front door.

"Owner?"

Bellatrix stood respectfully at the foot of the hall, eyes full of eager admiration.The woman who has become Mrs. Lestrange is very capable and very loyal to herself.Like the smooth Lucius, she is a rare talent.

Just after tonight, everything will be changed.

"I'm going out for a walk." Tom replied casually, his voice unconsciously a little cold.Bella froze for a moment, but Tom had already walked out the door.Bella hurriedly regained her senses and followed Tom, but the former had already Apparated in the garden.

Bella pursed her lips, and after a moment of spell probing where Tom had just Apparated, she also Apparated.

It's Halloween, and Godric's Hollow is buzzing.Children disguised as ghosts gathered in small groups and knocked on the neighbor's door from house to house.Tom watched a black-haired Muggle boy running past him, and recalled his childhood in a trance, and vaguely remembered that his childhood was so simple and happy.

It was all given by Harry. Although he didn't treat himself very well at that time, he still felt happy because of the gentle expression he seldom showed to himself.

Tom walked peacefully, and all the gaiety around him had nothing to do with him.There was no killing in his heart, nor did he feel any excitement or uneasiness.It was scripted long ago, and he just went to see a kid named Harry and put a mark on his forehead as prophesied.

No matter what happened tonight, Dumbledore will give everyone a perfect explanation.

After passing through a grove, the Potters' house was just around the corner.There was warm light from the window, and the family of three were in the living room.Tom saw the messy-haired kid being held aloft by a man who looked a lot like Harry, while the red-haired woman was laughing and saying something.Tom stopped in front of the fence and watched the woman carry the child, the man kissed the son on the cheek, and the woman carried the child upstairs.

Tom waited a few minutes, then pushed open the wooden gate on the fence, went in, and knocked lightly.

The door opened, and James Potter came and answered it.Tom raised his wand and smiled warmly at the shocked James.

"Good evening, Mr. Potter," said Tom quietly.

James snapped back from the shock and slammed the door, yelling in panic.

"Lily, take Harry and run! It's him! Run! Run! I'll—"

Tom threw a spell and hit the closed door, and the spell shot out from behind the shattered door.Tom dodged the spell while shooting it from his wand in the direction of its source.The spell hit the people in the house, and after a muffled bang, there was no movement in the house.

Tom trotted across the sawdust-strewn porch without looking at the man under the spell, went upstairs, opened all the doors with a gentle wave, and walked into the lighted room.

Seeing him coming in, Lily immediately put the baby in her arms into the cradle behind her, and then took out her wand to protect the front of the cradle.Tom didn't raise his wand at once, but walked slowly towards the cradle.

"No, don't touch Harry, please, kill me if you want to kill me!" Lily begged in panic.

"Go over there, girl." Tom raised his wand.

"Don't touch Harry! Please, have mercy, don't touch him!"

Tom frowned, and the curse hit Lily, and she immediately collapsed to the ground quietly.Tom moved her aside with a wave of his wand, and stood in front of the cradle.

Harry was awake, standing in the cradle, clutching the wooden railing with his chubby little hands, watching him curiously with wide-open eyes.Looking into those clear green eyes, Tom stretched out his hand to take the baby out of the cradle, but he didn't dare to touch him, and his hand fell on the edge of the cradle.It was not because of the spell Lily and Dumbledore cast on Harry, but because of those eyes without any impurities, he couldn't look at them.

Harry saw the person under the hood clearly, and his little mouth curled up, looking like he was about to cry.Tom curled the corners of his mouth at the little boy, and Harry's earth-shattering cries broke out.

"Am I smiling so hard, dear Harry?" Tom whispered, raising his wand, "Your parents are all right, don't cry so sadly..."

Tom moved the wand to his temple, and then said the incantation silently, unable to bear the pain of the separation of the soul with a tight frown.Murder wasn't the only way to split a soul, and Tom didn't have to kill at all if it was just a small piece.

The people he killed with his own hands over the years are completely enough.

The sharp pain disappeared as the piece of soul sank into Harry's body.As he expected, a tiny scar was left on the little boy's forehead, like a bolt of lightning.Tom gasped against the cradle, then looked at the baby in the cradle.Harry's crying disappeared, and the little boy looked at him too, staggered a few steps towards him while holding on to the railing, and then fell down on the soft quilt in the cradle, but the little boy didn't cry anymore, his eyes were fixed on Harry. he.Tom gave him a weak smile.

"I'll come to see you when you grow up." Tom said softly, reaching out to stroke Harry's head, but just as his palm touched Harry's soft hair, he felt a sharp pain.

Ah, I almost forgot, the protection from my mother's blood prevented me from touching him.

"I have to go before Dumbledore arrives." Tom said to the little boy who was still looking at him. "Goodbye, Harry."

Tom cast himself a few restorative spells, and went down the stairs.But just after going downstairs, Tom stopped, and clenched the wand in his hand, observing the surrounding situation vigilantly: James, who was stunned by him, was gone.

With no one around, Tom walked slowly out of the house, frowning when he saw the man standing in the garden.

"Alfred, what are you doing here?"

"I'm not sure." Alfred replied, James and Sirius were standing beside him, and the three of them pointed their wands at Tom together, "So follow me and have a look."

"What are you worried about?" Tom said lightly.

"What did you do to them!" Jaime yelled, his face tensed as he tried his best not to rush.

Tom glanced at the pale-faced Alfred, who shook his head: "I can't guess what you want to do."

Tom snorted, and Sirius shot a spell suddenly from his wand.Tom dodged the spell's attack, and returned him unceremoniously.Alphard seemed to hesitate for a moment, and also attacked Tom.Tom shot a spell at Alphat angrily, but was sent flying by James's spell, and the two spells hit the fence and the beech respectively and burned them.

Four people fight together.Tom didn't intend to kill the two men, just looking for the gap of Apparation.But James didn't seem to want to give him such a chance at all, and he and Sirius gradually drove Tom to the edge of the fence; Arfurt's spell, although negligible, made it impossible for Tom to get out immediately.

"Al! Are you really on Dumbledore's side?" Tom roared.

"I'm only on my side," Arafate replied. "I'm sorry, Tom."

Tom pursed his lips, and threw a curse at him very simply.Arafate didn't dodge, and squatted down uncomfortably after being hit.

Tom was shocked, and wanted to go to Alfart's side, a green light suddenly appeared from the darkness behind him, hit the spell Sirius shot at Tom and fell to the ground, everyone was taken aback.

"Bellatrix," Alphard murmured, whispering the name of the man who had emerged from the darkness.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Tom recognized the man's voice.

"stop--"

Another burst of green light shot out, hitting James right in the heart.James fell backwards with a look of disbelief on his face.

"James!" Sirius hurriedly supported his friend beside him.

"Stop it, Bella!" Tom knocked off the female Death Eater's wand.

"James!" Sirius roared angrily, Tom frowned, and subconsciously blocked the spell Sirius shot at him.

"Master!" Bella looked at Tom in astonishment, and Alfat had already raised his wand to her.

"Passed out."

The unsuspecting female Death Eater immediately passed out.

Tom heard Alphard's muffled voice.

The grief-stricken Sirius yelled and shot Tom one after another, and Tom finally got angry.

"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"

Sirius fell to the ground, and Alphard immediately panicked.

"No, Tom! Stop it!"

"You think you have the right to intercede with me on behalf of others? Alphard!" Tom glared at him angrily.

"Please." Alfred trembled, stood up with difficulty, and pointed his wand at Tom, "Let Sirius go, let him go!"

"What if I disagree?" Tom asked over Sirius' screams.

"I'll kill you," said Arafate, "instead of Harry."

"You won't," said Tom coldly.

"I will," Arffate said. "I'll make sure you die at my hands. Let him go, please, Tom."

Tom stared at him closely, and Alphard became anxious.

"The Order of the Phoenix is ​​coming soon, Tom!"

Tom's face darkened, and he ordered coldly: "Kill Bella, use her wand."

Alphard's expression changed, but he still walked over to pick up Bella's wand, and cast a death curse at its owner.

Tom stopped the spell, walked over to Alfred, and took Bella's wand from him.Alphat pursed his lips and looked at him without saying a word.

"Tell Dumbledore that I won't show up until Harry enters the school," said Tom. "You can also tell Harry that his father died at my hands."

"Tom..."

"Farewell, Alphard." Tom grabbed Bellatrix's body from the ground and Disapparated.

After a few pops, members of the Order of the Phoenix appeared around the cabin.

"Are we late?" Moody looked around, narrowing his eyes when he saw Arafat.

Professor McGonagall walked quickly to the trembling Sirius, while Dumbledore went straight to Alfart who was about to fall, and supported his body.

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore." Alfred whispered, "Bellatrix killed James during the battle, Tom didn't know she was coming, I—"

"We'll talk about these things later, how about Harry and Lily?" Dumbledore interrupted him and asked eagerly.

Alfred shook his head: "I didn't go in, but Tom probably didn't kill anyone, and he didn't bring Harry out." Alfred paused, "He wouldn't want Harry to be an orphan."

"Where's Tom?"

"Let's go." Alfred said sadly.

Dumbledore handed Alphard to the rest of the Order grimly, and strode toward the ruined porch.Dumbledore was relieved when Harry's cries came from the ruined porch.

Before the next storm came, the storm that started according to Voldemort's script had completely subsided.
