[Harry Potter] The Last Dark Lord

The path of a glamorous, high-class heroine to becoming the Dark Lord. (Main plot) The love story of a mute girl from a Death Eater family and a haughty prince. (Side plot) Pairing: Draco. I won't whitewash or romanticize him. The only person in this story who gets the full beauty-filter treatment is the heroine. If you want a hero who's as strong as the heroine, click the X in the top right. If you want a hero stronger than Voldemort, Dumbledore, Snape, or Grindelwald, click the X. Draco is the Draco from the original books, with all his basic traits turned up by ten. If you feel uncomfortable after sampling the story, click the X in the top right. Thank you, and there's no need to leave a comment to tell me. Since I've already said so much, here's one more thing: when you're strong enough yourself, you won't care whether the person you like is strong or not. The heroine is in Slytherin. A master starts over from scratch, and her muteness disappears later on. I've read the books and watched the films. This follows the books, occasionally borrowing from the films, and takes the Slytherin perspective. The tone is affection first, angst later. Don't doubt it: the ones being doted on are all “him.” [Based on reader feedback, this book is also known as Detective Erythes, The King's Man, and Poor Little Draco. It's the latest 2015 exam-prep guide covering mysteries, suspense, palace intrigue, tragic romance, and childcare!] A few explanations: 1. Hogwarts student population: In my version, Hogwarts has around 600 students. That works out to about 20 students per year in each house, and around 40 students in a classroom when two classes are combined. 2. Lucius and Draco: Since this story is based on the original books, here's an explanation for readers who've only seen the films. In the second Harry Potter film, Lucius is very strict with Draco and even stops him with his cane. In the books, however, Lucius spoils Draco. Even when he reprimands him, Draco will argue back defiantly. He isn't afraid of Lucius the way the films portray him. 3. House-elves: House-elves weren't created by wizards. In the original books, Dumbledore tells Harry, “Kreacher is what he has been made by wizards,” but this is actually a translation error. The English original is “Kreacher is what he has been made by wizards.” The meaning should be, “Sirius is responsible for what Kreacher has become.” The story also mentions Winky, Kreacher's relatives, and the fact that House-elves have parents. In other words, they should be classified as Magical Creatures. 4. Family trees: The original books don't explain exactly how family trees, such as the Black family's tapestry, work. In my version, the head of the family has to add blood relatives by hand. 5. Blood magic: In my version, the Wizarding World has a type of blood magic similar to DNA testing, which can determine whether two people are related. It has one limitation: both the person conducting the test and the person being tested must be alive. 7. Voldemort's body: Rowling never specified whether the body Voldemort regained was his original body, restored, or a completely new one. Since Parseltongue is passed down through the soul, I've assumed in this story that Voldemort used Harry's blood, Wormtail's flesh, and old Tom's bones to create an entirely new body. 8. Hogwarts Apparition rules: The headmaster has the authority to change whether Apparition is allowed on school grounds, and can designate specific areas where it is permitted. See the sixth-year students learning Apparition on the grounds. In the original books, Umbridge wasn't recognized by Hogwarts and couldn't enter the Headmaster's Office. In this story, changing the Apparition rules doesn't require the school's approval. I'll keep adding explanations and answers to questions. I'm not exactly a rigorous researcher, but I'll do my best to stay true to the original books. If you spot a continuity error I haven't considered, feel free to point it out. October 13, 2017 I just found out that even fanfiction can't quote passages from the original books. This story contains a few small excerpts, but it was completed a long time ago, and I truly don't have the time to revise it. I apologize to all readers. Completed works: My Days of Raising Hell on Earth: a heroine who's a pro at picking fights Charming Sickness: an angst-inducing heroine The Last Dark Lord (HP): a CEO heroine The Offbeat Life of a Zombie Girl in the Apocalypse: an eccentric heroine New story coming soon: Can I Still Cough Up Blood in the Wind and Successfully Usurp the Throne? A sickly gray lotus who hides a blade behind her smile × a ferocious little wolfdog strong enough to lift a cauldron * Qin Nonghua set out to become Wu Zetian, but ended up with Zhuge Liang's fate. Unluckily, she became the first princess in transmigration history to die from overwork. When she opens her eyes, she's back at the moment she first arrived. The kingdom hasn't fallen, her father the emperor is still alive, her several deranged brothers have only just started bickering like amateurs, and enemy spies haven't yet stirred up trouble. Delicate and frail, Qin Nonghua coughs blood at the slightest breeze. After much reflection, she decides: “Being an emperor isn't for me. I might as well raise a younger brother to take the throne.” The newly born Ninth Prince seems perfect. His origins are tragic, he's suffered greatly, and if she shows him a little kindness, he'll be moved to tears and repay her with lifelong loyalty. Years later. Qin Nonghua, who aimed to become Lü Buwei but wound up sharing the court with the emperor, slowly types a question mark. Before Qin Yaoyuan took the surname Qin, he once heard a madwoman muttering to herself behind a rockery: “The First Prince is headstrong, the Second Prince is pathologically misogynistic... The Sixth Prince is deranged, the Seventh Prince is arrogant, and the Eighth Prince is petty. Which lucky fool should I manipulate to conquer the realm?” Qin Yaoyuan: Who'd be unlucky enough to become that fool? Then the tides of fortune suddenly turned, and he rose to power. The madwoman held his battered body and wept like a pear blossom in the rain. “From now on, your sister will share your joys and sorrows. Even if it costs me my life, I won't let you get hurt!” Qin Yaoyuan: ...Oh. So I'm the unlucky fool. * “I knew from the start that you're hypocritical, devious, and cold-hearted, an ambitious man who hides a blade behind his smile.” “I also know your aspirations, your talent, your pride, and the benevolence of a ruler beneath all your scheming and power plays.” “But I can't let you know that my willingness to serve you has nothing to do with sharing your worries over the nation's peril or pitying the people's suffering.” “All I have ever wanted is to meet you at daybreak and grow old with you beneath the first snows of winter.” “Elder Sister, when will you grant Your Majesty's dearest wish?” Theme: You can't rely on others. Being awesome yourself is what really counts.
