Chapter 2 - The Beginning

I entered diagon alley in the night, I hid in the shadows as I wait.

A wizard approach the alley, as I wanted for him to enter the bridge.

Then I striked I used the spell, Riveticus

Impaling the wizard.

The wizard looked in shock as he was impaled by black tendrils with red markings.

He coughed blood as I retracted the spell, the wizards body slump down, I slowly approached his body.

I look into his eyes and see the look of fear and confusion, as I can see his consciousness waning.

I spoke, Don't worry this will be over soon I said, as I reached his body and placed my palm his head.

My palm started to glow as my eyes glowed bright red. The man screamed as his magical energy was slowly drained from his body.

After I was done stealing his magical reserves, I slowly left his body as I allowed the wizard to bleed to death.

I returned to my Manor, as Drudge greeted me. We welcome back master, drudger said. I acknowledged him with a nod.

As I returned to my quarters to read more of the magical tomes left behind by the gaunt family. I read something about a family ring.

I inquired the ring to drudgery and he said. Ma Master the family ring was with Master Merlope as he was the last heir before you.

I asked him where the ring is located and he said it is near Master Merlope shack master. I nodded in approval at Drudgers response. I spoked, Thank you Drudger.

As I head back to my quarters, where I decided to sleep for the night.

I woke up the next morning, and spoke with Drudger and assigned him some tasks such as investing in some wizarding companies, he apparated away from my sight. I thought, what an interesting ability.

I help the Manor with my cloak as I headed towards the woods, where I found a corpse of a man with a ring in its finger. I thought that must be the gaunt family ring.

I began to approach the corpse, I heard a voice whisper, come and wear me, and I will bring you immortality and you will see those that you've lost.

I was unaffected by the voice, but I decided to wear the ring to see what happens as the voice begun to laugh manically as it spoke.

You fool, I will now have your body as we entered my mindscape.

I can see a pale man with a nose laughing at me sinister grin as I begun to laugh with him.

Confusing the man as he asked, with anger and confusion, Why are you laughing. My eyes glowed red as I smirked at the man.

Red chains begun to erupt from the ground as the pale man was ensnared by ten red chains, binding him to the ground. As hands erupted slowly dragging him down.

As he stared at me with fear at a moment, then anger as he shouted at me with rage and fury.

I heard his shout and I slowly let out a small chuckle which turned into full laughter as I just said two words. "I am All For One".

That was the last thing the pale man heard as he looked at me with confusion and fear as he was consumed by my mindscape.

I slowly returned to the real world as I look outside to see the sun was already setting.

I slowly left the shack with a smile as I got.

I returned to my Manor, with more power as I learned about the 3 unforgivable curse the Cruciatos, Avada Kedavra, and Imperious Curse, and a few dark curses such as serpentoria, Fiendfire, and some minor spells such as expelliarmus, alomora, agumenti, etc.

I was satisfied with the results and I returned to the Manor. Drudger greeted me as I asked about the results. Drudger spoke, Ma master we successfully invested in 2 Brewing companies and 1 cloak company and 1 charms companies, I smiled at him and said, good.

I returned to quarters as I smiled to myself.

As I thought my birthday was soon approaching, I smiled at that thought.

Finally acquiring a wand of my own.

Time skip....

A few days have passed and it was AFOs birthday and he decided to go to olivanders wand shop.

He left the manor, he went to diagon alley and saw some people approaching the crime scene, as a few wizards with uniforms huddled up at the crime scene.

I didn't pay that much mind to the crime scene and headed to Olivanders Wand shop.

He greeted me and asked, what's your name lad, I responded, I'm Henry sir.

Olivanders responded, ok lad let's see which wand suits you.

As he took a wand from a box phoenix heart, with dragon heart string and acacia wood he spoke.

I grabbed the wand, it trembled my grasp and shot a distorted blast of light. That was not even as bright as the light entering this shop.

Olivander spoke, hmmm not that one, try this one out.

Unicorn heart string, Oak wood and dragon heart string, the wand repulsed like the other wand, the Olivander said, hmm not that wand.

Hours went by until there was one wand from the deepest shelves. Thestral hair string, Yew wood, and basilisk fang, Olivander spoke with a bit of caution, this wand is of great power, that my great great grandfather made, I picked up the wand as I feel a sense of connection to it.

A red Sparks begun to manifest as a red beam shot out from the wand.

Leaving the wand maker in aw as he gaped in such an unexpected event.

Olivander looked shocked and awed at first then he became serious, as he spoke this wand is an ancient wand, one of a kind crafted by my great great grandfather.

It has never found a wielder up until this times.

You will achieve great things, just as this one wizard before you, he must not be named.

He was an extraordinary wizard like you, who did great things terrible but great things.

You will be a great wizard, after this shop keepers monologue I asked, what is the price of this wand sir?.Olivander spoke, that will be 11 galleons, I handed him the pouch then left the shop.

With a thought in mind, quite an interesting individual, I ponder who is this wizard they speak of?. As I thought the fear he invoked in this world is quite phenomenal, I thought, as a grin manifested, I will bring the same fear as I rule this world.

I finished my thoughts, then went to accomplish my next task.

I headed to Madames Malkins cloak shop, as I entered to get my cloak which took awhile. then I exited the shop.

As I left the shop, I saw a blond kid with his father, walking with elegance as he stood there watching the kid as our eyes met.

The kids eyes was filled with a bit of curiosity and pride as he asked my name?

I entertained his curiosity and spoke with a calm voice " I am Henry Gaunt" which surprised the father and son, as they heard my last name, the kid introduced himself.

I'm Draco Malfoy, and this is my father, I am Lucius Malfoy, the elderly man spoke with surprised, and spoke It has been a long time since I heard of one of the most ancient house of the Gaunt. Which left me curios as I shake hands with Draco and spoke with elegance and grace "It's a pleasure to meet you Draco and Mr Malfoy" then I bowed and left, leaving the duo stunned and surprised.

I headed back to my Manor and a letter appeared, welcome to the house of hogwarts. As I decided to enter the school tomorrow.
