Chapter 1
"Please," a pale woman with red hair and green eyes, Lily Petunia Potter, begged the cloaked figure in front of her. "Not Violet. Please. Kill me but leave her." No part of the figure could be seen other than her crimson eyes and the end of her long black hair. This figure, however, Lily knew was The Dark Lady Voldemort. A few moments ago, Voldemort had killed Lily's Husband, James Charlus Potter, downstairs. Now, she was after Lily's baby. Violet Lily Potter sat a few feet from Lily and Voldemort in her crib. Violet was playing with her messy black hair while her bright green eyes, just like Lily's, were staring at the pair.
"Step aside. I'm not here for you," Voldemort rasped.
"Please. Not Violet. I'll do anything but please don't hurt her."
"Last chance. Step aside or die."
"Please. Don't hurt Violet. Please." Voldemort pointed her white wand at Lily.
"Avada Kedavra," Voldemort said. Lily screamed and her body fell to the floor. The moment the green curse had hit her, she had died instantly. Voldemort walked over to the crib, she grinned at Violet as she placed the silver-banded Ring with an emerald stone in front of Violet. Voldemort had already prepared the Ring to become a Horcrux upon the baby's death. She pointed her wand at Violet. "Avada Kedavra." The green light shot out of Voldemort's wand, hit Violet on the forehead and shot back at Voldemort, leaving nothing but a pile of robes where Voldemort once was. Violet's hair suddenly changed to a dark purple and her eyes changed to violet. Violet picked up the Ring and clutched it in her little fist as a purple bubble appeared around her crib while the rest of the room was blown up. Violet stared at the pile of robes for a few moments before staring at her Mother's dead body, not understanding why her Mother wouldn't get up and hug her. After some time, Violet fell asleep, still clutching the Ring.
"Lily!" Violet woke up as a man yelled her Mother's name. The man was Severus Tobias Snape. He had black eyes and black hair. He had been in love with Lily since they were children and was devastated to see her dead. He ran over and held her dead body in his arms as he cried. He then noticed the purple bubble surrounding Violet's crib and Violet staring at him. He blinked in confusion as he noticed that Violet's eyes and hair were different from what he'd heard from Dumbledore. He glared at Violet for a moment before leaving. Violet sat in her crib the whole day, occasionally napping. At this point, she was very hungry and cold. All of a sudden, Violet woke up as someone picked her up. This someone was Sirius Orion Black, Violet's Godfather. Sirius' black eyes peered into Violet's as she played with his messy black hair.
"Pads!" Violet giggled. Sirius sent a sad look at Lily before going downstairs with Violet in his arms. "Daddy!" Violet cried as she spotted the dead body of her Father. James' lifeless brown eyes stared out into nothingness while his messy black hair, much shorter than Sirius', was covered in dirt and waving slightly due to the wind coming from the massive hole in the wall behind him.
"Shh, Vi, it's gonna be okay," Sirius sadly said as some tears fell down his face. They exited the house only to spot a large figure waiting for them by Sirius' motorbike. The large figure was Rubeus Nero Hagrid. After a ten-minute argument between Sirius and Rubeus, Sirius reluctantly agreed to hand Violet over and also gave Rubeus his motorbike. "I won't need it anymore. I'll see you soon, Violet." Sirius left and Rubeus flew the motorbike away from the Potters' House. During the flight, Violet fell asleep. While she was asleep, Rubeus landed in Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, where an old man with long grey hair and twinkling blue eyes and a woman with dark green eyes and light brown hair were waiting. The two were Headmaster Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore and Deputy Headmistress Minerva Matilda McGonagall. The two had an argument over leaving Violet with the Dursleys, Lily's Sister, Petunia Daisy Dursley, Petunia's Husband, Vernon Theodore Dursley, and their Son, Dudley Vernon Dursley, however, in the end, Albus won and the three of them left Violet sleeping on the Dursley's doorstep with a letter on her lap. A few minutes after they'd left, Violet woke up.
"Mommy?" Violet yawned, rubbing her eyes. When she sat up, she realised she had no idea where she was. She clutched the letter on her lap and cried as she wished she could be with her Family. In a moment, the doorstep was empty as Violet disappeared from Privet Drive and reappeared on a table in the middle of a large dining room. Many people were sitting at the table and they were all startled by Violet's arrival. Those at the table were Death Eaters, followers of Voldemort. Four people were standing near the table. The three men, Rodolphus Reinhard Lestrange, his Brother, Rabastan Roldophus Lestrange, and Bartemius Silas Crouch Junior, left without sparing the randomly appearing baby a glance. However, the only woman, Bellatrix Druella Lestrange (Wife of Rodolphus), walked over to the table. The only person sitting at the table who knew who Violet was was Severus. He was worried for Violet, knowing what the others would do if they found out who she was. Violet looked around and spotted the only woman sitting at the table, Narcissa Andromeda Malfoy, and she crawled over to her. Violet dropped the letter onto her lap and almost fell off of the table but Narcissa picked her up and passed her to Bellatrix. The moment Bellatrix made eye contact with Violet, she instantly fell in love with her. Her feelings regarding others, like her love for Narcissa, hadn't changed but she knew she'd do anything and everything for Violet. The one thing she now cared about the most was Violet's happiness.
"You're so cute," Bellatrix cooed, surprising everyone at the table, including her Sister, Narcissa, her Sister's Husband, Lucius Malfoy, and Severus. Narcissa read the letter out loud to everyone and they all stared at Violet in shock, knowing she'd defeated their Dark Lady. Bellatrix, however, was concerned. She was extremely loyal to The Dark Lady, her lover sometimes too, but how she felt about Violet made it clear where her loyalty now was and she was worried about what the others would do to Violet in retaliation for harming their Dark Lady.
"Mommy!" Violet whined. "Want Mommy!" Narcissa looked at the child in concern as her own Daughter, Draco Narcissa Malfoy, was only a little under two months older than the child in front of her. Violet looked at her and pouted. "Mommy?" The moment Narcissa made eye contact with Violet, all she felt towards Violet was love. In just a moment, her concern, pity and worry were replaced with an intense love. Just by making eye contact with Narcissa and Bellatrix, Violet had made them fall in love with her. Now, most would be concerned upon finding this out, however, the Death Eaters investigated it. It took only a few days to realise Violet's power wasn't like a Veela's allure or Amortentia or any other Love Potion they knew of. Those affected, which were only the women, still had their senses about them. They didn't only think of Violet, however, they knew when she wanted or needed something and found it impossible not to give her what she wants. The men were entirely unaffected by her power. So, they researched and even went into Violet's head carefully to see what had happened that night. Those involved with the experiments were put under secrecy contracts to never reveal Violet's ability or her location to anyone. Luckily for them, this included Severus, who really wanted to tell Albus everything but couldn't. Narcissa, despite being in love with Violet, quickly adopted a Mother role to her as Violet was constantly asking for her Mommy and clearly wanted and needed one. Of course, this didn't stop Narcissa from being in love with her.
"I've got it!" Alecto Annita Carrow exclaimed about a month after watching Violet's memories. She then explained Violet's powers to the others. Lily had accidentally invoked Old Magic with her sacrifice. The Old Magic recognised a Witch's intense love for Violet and her sacrificing her life to save Violet's life. So, it protected Violet and then gave her the ability to get that love back. Every time a Witch looks Violet in the eyes, the Witch will feel the intense love for Violet that Lily felt. However, the reason they fell in love instead of feeling Motherly love was because the Old Magic hadn't tried to identify the type of love Lily felt and had focused on the quantity of it instead. If a Witch doesn't look Violet in the eyes, she won't fall in love with Violet. However, once she has made eye contact, there's no stopping it or reversing it. Old Magic doesn't have a cure or a reversal. Of course, at this point, several Witches had made eye contact and subsequently fallen in love with Violet. Those Witches were Bellatrix, Narcissa, Alecto, Draco, Anathema Princilla Zabini, Dana Sienna Greengrass, Daphne Dana Greengrass, Astoria Daphne Greengrass, Penelope Tullina Parkinson and Pansy Penelope Parkinson. The males wanted to stop Violet from using her powers. The females, however, wanted Violet to use them however she wanted. If Violet wanted more girls looking after her, they didn't see the problem. Violet should have anything and everything she wanted.
"So, is that why her abilities don't work on Muggle females the way they work on Witches?" Severus asked. "And men? Because when she looks into someone's eyes, the Old Magic recognises whether or not they match the criteria Lily had... It makes them like her because they're female like Lily but because they aren't Witches, they don't fall in love with her?"
"Yes. It does make me curious about how Magical Creatures who are also Witches, like Veela, would react to her powers, though," Alecto responded. "They are Witches, however, they also have Creature Blood in them, so it could affect them more, less or the same as normal Witches, given the amount of differences and Magic in them. Not to mention the Veela allure could also interact with Violet's powers. The Veela have Mates, so that could impact how Violet's power affects them too." Violet giggled from where she was being cuddled by Narcissa and Bellatrix on a nearby sofa.
"Lecky, cuddles!" Violet demanded and Alecto immediately walked over to Violet and joined the 'cuddle pile' as Violet had dubbed it a few minutes before. "Cuddles, cuddles, cuddles!" Violet giggled and the females in the room all smiled softly at her while Severus rolled his eyes.
"Yes, well, I'll leave you to your... 'Cuddle pile' then," Severus said and he left the room.
"I want kisses!" Violet demanded and Narcissa, Bellatrix and Alecto all kissed all over Violet's face, causing even more giggles from the little girl. "Mommy?"
"Yes, Princess?" Narcissa asked.
"Why Sevy not like me?" Narcissa sighed.
"It's not that he doesn't like you, Princess. He just... Misses your other Mother. He also hated your other Father so--"
"Not other Father. Lucy hates me too. He's not my Father. He's Dray's Father."
"He's your Father too, Princess. He knows he's your Father now. He just... He's upset that your Parents upset Severus. He cares about Severus, so their hurting Severus hurt him too. They, unfairly, blame you for the hurt your Parents inflicted. They'll soon realise they shouldn't blame you and they'll love you, Princess."
"And, if not," Bellatrix said. "I'll make them regret hurting your feelings, Princess. I promise."
"Bella!" Narcissa exclaimed as Violet giggled and planted a kiss on Bella's cheek.
"Thanks, Bella!"
