Prologue

"The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning."

Ivy Baker Priest, in Parade, 1958 1)

That night the world for the Death Eaters fell apart. A mere one-year-old child defeated their Master and was left with nothing but a scratch – in the shape of a lightning bolt.

For all those fighting against Lord Voldemort it was the day of the long-awaited victory over evil that penetrated their society for years.

Harry James Potter didn't even realize how this night would affect his whole life. A life far away from the prying eyes of the wizarding world, far away from Privet Drive and his aunt Petunia…

But what happened? – one would ask. Well, it all started with the event itself.

Lord Voldemort walked into the manor with a strong desire to kill 'the one' that could endanger his position and power – a little boy – son of two of his strongest opponents: James and Lily Potter. When they tried to stop him, he killed them. Just as he was about to murder the boy.

As he cast the killing curse it reflected upon him. But that was not the most bizarre thing that happened. Voldemort's soul escaped from his body and his raw magic, that was a part of the soul, took the little baby to the sky. And the sky was beautiful that day – every star and constellation could be seen and its color was deep black – like an abyss.

When Rubeus Hagrid and Sirius Black apparated to the Godric's Hollow only seconds later they came upon three dead bodies. In vain they searched for the child – there was no Harry in the manor, nor in the Godric's Hollow.

As far as the wizarding world was concerned the loss of 'the Potter's child' was only a one of the many fatalities – a significant, spectacular and fascinating one, but still a casualty, as long as Voldemort was gone…

But what happened to the famous Harry Potter?

Lord Voldemort took him to the only place he considered safe – the Slytherin Manor on the North of the island of Azkaban. The place built by Salazar was his 'refugee camp' after the disagreement with the other founders of Hogwarts. As such, only the heirs of Slytherin's family were aware of its existence.

Not strong himself and carrying a baby Voldemort almost did not manage to get to the gates of the estate. Once inside he 'collapsed' in his dinning room – the closest place he could get. The house elves, sensing his arrival, apparated and taking in the situation, started aiding their Master and that strange baby he brought.

As no real help could be given to Lord Voldemort the elves decided to unleash the ghost that lived in the soul. This process disabled their Master chance to ever get his life back but provided him the eternal one that is not offered freely.

You could imagine the Voldemort's rage when he found out that he was no longer a part of the land of the living, nor the part of the land of death.

Having expressed his dissatisfaction he heard a sound he was not used to hearing – a cry of a baby. He realized that there was still a child in this place, that was so voluntarily and eagerly taken.

'Harry Potter' he murmured to himself. 'What shall I do with you? You who destroyed me – a mere child…But with such powers… Yes… I think… Yes.' he contemplated for a moment.

'Misty!' he turned to the one of the house elves.

'Yes Master, sir?' answered frightened creature.

'Take the child and feed him. He will stay with us.' commanded Voldemort and looking once more at the Potter's child he disappeared through the door to the library.
