What would have happened if in 1981 instead of trying to kill Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort kidnapped him instead and staged his death?
Seeing potential in the boy after having murdered his parents Voldemort staged Harry Potters death and ran with the boy. Wanting to see if the boy had the potential to be his protege` Voldemort gave him to his most faithful followers: Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestrange with the orders that they were to raise the boy as their own, just as they would any other child if they had any. He was to be raised as a pureblood and a dark wizard. Not wanting to disappoint their Lord the Lestrange's took the boy in without a second thought and set about changing him and shaping him as their lord saw fit.
After finding the house destroyed, and the Potters dead, including Harry the Order became distraught, wondering what would happen now in the case of the prophecy. The child it spoke of was now dead. Their hope they clung to so tightly now gone.
Using the Orders grief to his advantage Voldemort began to slowly take over the Ministry, implanting his most faithful followers into the Ministry with orders that they were to begin making way for him to take over. In May of 1983 he did just that. Quietly in the middle of the night Voldemort murdered the current Minister of Magic and declared himself the new one, naming Rodolphus Lestrange as his second in command. The world was never the same again.
Fast forward to 1991. Now elven years old Harry Potter and the other children of his generation are ready to start Hogwarts. But will things go as smoothly as Voldemort hopes? Will the Order realize that their hero is not dead but walking around the disguise of a Lestrange? And will Harry be the protege he's been trained and brought up to be or will a new environment change everything....
Change is inevitable. What will you do with it when it happens?
