[mafia AU]

At Christmas, Harry received the most unforgettable gift he could remember. For saving two mafia family soldiers, Nott and Rosier, Harry was honored to be invited to Tom Riddle's estate for a Christmas dinner there. As a child from the streets, he felt out of place among the cream of society there, but for a brief moment he was intoxicated by all the luxury that surrounded him on that magical night.

1927. In the English city of Leicester, a war is raging between two of the most powerful mafia families in the area. The young and ambitious Tom Riddle, a relatively recent figure in the underworld, but who has already cleaned up and controls most of the underground business of the city, squeezing out territories previously owned by the old but experienced Gellert Grindelwald. At this time, young Harry, who knows nothing about the confrontation, lives in the southwestern district with his godfather Sirius, helping him maintain a modest pub. Until one fatal incident brings a boy from the street and a powerful criminal boss together.

The physiology of angels:

Every angel born into this world materializes from a small, barely burning spark, which contains the holy spirit. Each angel's spark has its own shape and color, brightness (for example, in Harrreth it looks like a ray of sunlight or a small flame lit in a matchbox, which is why the Lord of Darkness gave him the nickname "Spark"), denoting their individual nature, molded by the Creator himself. There are gradually becoming as many such small sparks as there are myriads of stars strewn across the night sky. Being created gradually, although they are an immortal entity, they nevertheless have different ages. Therefore, there are angels who may be older or younger than their fellows. This is their true, original disembodied form, which only then undergoes changes and passes into a material form ��� the most common is a humanoid winged creature. It can be of any gender, appearance and size and possess its own, its own power, which it subsequently develops and specializes in: rapid movement in space, command of the forces of nature and the elements, control of someone else's mind, healing and purification, taking many forms or inhabiting a certain object, etc. And, nevertheless, they are limited by their inability to foresee the future or to be transported to the past, being only in the present; or to be in several places at the same time. This was laid down by the Creator himself in his creations. In the appearance of light angels, one can see spotlessly clean, snow-white wings, various kinds of jewelry and attributes, clothes woven from the finest material in the manner of togas or robes with a predominance of light shades of silver or gold, with or without covered feet. The image of the warrior angel is also complemented on top with light but durable armor decorated with divine, protective runes. After the fall, the immaculate appearance of the angel changes forever: the color of the wings becomes like charred wood with gray, black and brown inclusions, and the clothes cease to have a well-defined style. Usually, angels do not feel the need for food, but they can simulate its consumption to saturate their spiritual powers, as did Tomelior, who weakened and lost some of them after exile and was forced to eat snakes and drink blood in underground caves.

(P.S. And yes, at the end, a reference to You-Know-Who). 😏

Description of the life of the bright and fallen angels:

– Bright angels: Bright angels have been living in a strictly verified system since their appearance in the light of God. The highest order establishes the sacred "3" works that an angel must adhere to – "study, work, prayer" and every day is dedicated to their fulfillment. Born from the silent whisper of the Creator and transformed into a material form, they begin their training with the elder angels, whose duties also include their naming. The executors of God's will intend to complete 6 circles before taking up their immediate duties. Studying strengthens their magical and spiritual abilities, and mentors vigilantly monitor their success, investing thousands of years of accumulated knowledge in them. The end of this process marks the choice of one's further life path – to be a warrior angel, a messenger angel or a guardian angel. The first is given a sword, they are given to guard the divine throne, the borders of Heaven and the safety of every angelic soul. Experienced and battle-hardened warriors try to protect their very young wards, forbidding them to contact any unholy force that can harm their weak and not yet strong souls, and also tell stories about their glorious exploits during the wars. The second is given a bugle, and they are given the power to transmit God's messages and commands to any end of the world. The third is given the key, they are given to direct human minds and protect them from the influence of evil. There is a special group of angels who are assigned a role in storing and transmitting memory to subsequent generations, and they are named Advisers. The Creator generously gave them part of his authority to restore universal order, and now they have the power to record each of the outcomes of the events of the past. Some of the carefully verified and selected records are sent for further study by the younger angels. In the clouds, you can often hear a chorus of voices – unearthly, perfect and unsullied in its nature, it accompanies every aspect of life here, whether it is offering praise to their heavenly father, announcing the arrival after a long campaign of the angelic army or mournful crying for the brothers expelled from home. Angels express themselves not only by singing. The most skilled jewelers and artisans among them make jewelry from natural phenomena (Harreth's bracelet, for example, was assembled from hailstones when several fallen water droplets solidified under a stream of cold wind). Craftsmen also make dishes from snow falling on cold days and its appearance is similar to rock crystal. Sparkling lightning, the second guests of the Sky, serve as a material for forging swords, a little less often natural fire is mined for these purposes.

– Fallen angels: Some of the angels who betrayed loyalty to the heavenly throne, dissidents and those plunged into evil are called fallen. Having changed their early principles, they now reside in the eternal conclusion of the world called Pandemonium. Remaining there without any restrictions, they roamed these lands in search of power and control, starting to create their own kingdoms with their subjects who obey them. Few of them, those who are less susceptible to power, live in separate communities or prefer to be alone with themselves. But the relentless, altered nature of the fallen forces them to jealously guard their possessions and treat any unexpectedly wandering soul as a potential enemy, for these every land here is the reigning lawlessness.They are selfish in their desires and are less subject to prohibitions and more liberated than their "heavenly" brothers. They tend to listen to the desires of their hearts, their will and freedom are more pronounced. They often try to invade the territories of their rival for conquest, and because of this, clashes occur between fallen angels, the outcome of which is sometimes difficult to predict. The free lifestyle of fallen spirits can be expressed in a variety of forms, for example, weaker in the blinded angels of Avernus, and stronger in the feral angels of the Crimson Ridges. They are known for their cruel customs – throwing their victims down on sharp rocks and a strict hierarchy in which a new clan leader is elected once in a century, and his choice is accompanied by long bloody games.

The concept itself was inspired by classical works. In particular, "Paradise Lost" by John Milton and "The Demon" by Mikhail Lermontov. The image of Lucifer from Milton's poem, in my opinion, is very similar to Voldemort. A proud and power-loving angel who fancied himself above God and decided to shake the heavenly throne, gathering like-minded people with him, but failed. Later, he enters the Garden of Eden, turning into a snake and persuades Eve to taste the forbidden fruit. Personally, I have a lot of parallels in my mind. As for Lermontov's poem, the Demon's love for Tamara is very similar to tomarry/harrymort - dark, perverted, possessive and with a tragic ending.

Locations (Pt. 1):

Pandemonium: No one can explain the true nature of this place. Originally did not exist as a place of detention, it exists outside of time and space, enclosed in a funnel of infinity. The lands of Pandemonium are boundless and unexplored, mysterious and dangerous. Apart from unexplained phenomena, time flows here in a broken and chaotic manner, like planets in the universe. After the era of the First Kingdom, the entrance to Pandemonium was sealed by the Creator, and since then the fallen angels who landed there will remain here until the end of time. Moreover, the creator of all things does not bother to pay attention to this place, leaving rebellious creatures to be left to themselves.

– The Land of Eternal Shadows: Other fallen are afraid to set foot on these lands and stay here for a long time. They have a rumor that anyone who comes here becomes evil and malicious and tries to avoid them. The domain of the Lord of Darkness is very vast compared to the territory of the entire Pandemonium, although this is a controversial statement, given that no one has ever seen the beginning or end of this otherworldly world. The Land of Eternal Shadows got its name from the cave, in the very depths of which Eternal Shadows have been living since the very beginning of time — a phenomenon that, like a living organism, moves independently along the vaults of the cave and, as if dancing, forms bizarre shapes. They have been dancing here since time immemorial, since the beginning of beginnings, and everything else has appeared around them as they continue to expand, creating an endless realm of shadow. They have their own silent language, which over time the Lord of Darkness was able to understand. This underground cave itself is huge, its walls of natural stone, stretching far beyond the sight of the eye, expand further and further. Also, in this mist- and dust-covered kingdom, there are "servants" - invisible creatures hidden like the shadows of this place, present everywhere, watching what is happening and waiting for the opportunity to carry out their master's orders. The Lord of Darkness did a lot for these creatures, and in return they remained very loyal to him, repaying him by supporting his youth and beauty. Like Eternal Shadows, they have their own will and are able to consciously make decisions: as, for example, when they noticed the presence of the bright angel Harreth, who was completely alien to this place, and did not inform Tomelior about his appearance.

– The Island of Sorrow: Hidden from the rest of Pandemonium is an archipelago surrounded by smooth, ice-clear water. The inhabitants may assume that he appears and disappears from time to time, changing his location like a sleepy ghost. Not a single wind that could breathe life into this dead calm, not a single ray of sun that could warm this place. The frozen remains of the dead bodies of creatures that wanted to cross these dangerous waters in those prehistoric times, when the sea was still active and bubbling, are hidden in the depths of the sea, bound by ice. Now only regret and sadness emanate from her, the soul tormented inside her, going further and further into the very depths. These eternal, never-ending moans and torments of the silent drowned people reach the island, thus feeding the soil and air. The island itself has no water, no grass, no mountains – just a silent space, from every point of which there is a view of the cursed sea. Here, after falling from heavenly grace, by the will of fate, a lone fallen angel landed. Staying in the sleepy, lethargic state that this place dictates to him, tearing out at least some piece of happy memories from his consciousness, he is forever stuck in a swamp of sadness, sorrow and loneliness.

– Crimson Ridges: There is blood, violence and an incessant thirst for blood in these parts. There is no way for weak creatures who have wandered here to return – their life, if it were mortal, would immediately end, if it were immortal, it would become irreconcilably painful. They often walk along a narrow crevice - where they are easiest to track down, watching from a high point. And here there are many of them - huge and sharp mountain ranges, called crimson from the amount of blood spilled in them, cut into the very depths of the blackened clouds. The mountain line itself is long and massive, and contains many depressions. After centuries spent in captivity, other fallen angels have found their place here. A life spent in immeasurable despair has changed their inner nature, completely hardening the once kind heart. Their way of life has become like predatory eagles, and now they hide in inaccessible rocky ledges and wait for lost travelers who unexpectedly wandered here. Despite the primitiveness of their lives, they nevertheless perceive both representatives of their species equally and live in several colonies, outside and from the outside in which there is often a struggle for dominance. The largest clan is dominated by a matriarchy, headed by a fallen angel named Bellatrix – wild and unbridled, like the very nature of this place.

– Avernus ("Lower World"): If you cross the neutral lands bordering the Land of Eternal Shadows, you can stumble upon a whole network of underground passages that go further and further into the enchanting spiral of emptiness. Having fallen through there, it is difficult to get out – even for such holy spirits as angels with their powerful wings in view of the absolute darkness reigning below. Dampness and cold accompany this place with the constant tapping of drops on the rocky surface of the underground vaults, and the musty smell and dust muffle the charm so important for fallen angels who live here in pitch, impenetrable darkness. Due to the lack of at least any source of light, they have completely lost their eyesight and now trust only their heightened senses and those remnants of supernatural powers that remained with them after falling from Heaven. When they get together, they spend a long time communicating with each other through a series of clicks and chirps, creating a strange and otherworldly symphony. It seems that this remains the only reminder to them that they still exist in their cursed immortal life.

Characters:

– The Lord of Darkness/Tomelior (Tom): The oldest fallen angel, looking like a centuries-old statue in a resembling a monk's robe with a hood. It hides a pair of dark, piercing eyes that sometimes turn scarlet at a certain angle. Behind his back he has a pair of large dark wings covered with ash with numerous scars from centuries of labor. He wears a ring similar in shape to a beautiful black snake with a very smooth and shiny body and ruby eyes. He is immortal, he lived for about 300 years, but since time flows very differently in Pandemonium, and you can live a whole life here in one hour, this figure is not accurate. The discoverer of evil, proud, decided to challenge the Creator, to take his place. Having sown seeds of doubt and persuaded some of the angels to join him in the struggle for the throne, he began slowly but surely to gather supporters. After hearing about God's desire to create the Earth and populate it with various creatures, including humans, he intended to rule them, making them vassals of his kingdom and distribute crumbs of power to those angels who joined him, who would help him achieve his goal. However, the planned and planned uprising failed: at the moment of the battle with the angelic army remaining loyal to the heavenly throne, a group of rebellious rebels, including Tomelior, were thrown into the otherworld by the forces of the Creator. Falling from Heaven into Pandemonium, and falling from the mercy of the Creator, he had to survive in a new, unexplored environment. Staying in numerous wanderings and searches, he saw a lot: the mysterious lands of this world, the creatures that lived in it, his companions of fallen angels who changed, succumbing to their inner nature. Later, Tom stumbled upon the Land of Eternal Shadows. After exploring it, he settled here, declaring himself its master, the Lord of Darkness. Since then, he has ruled it alone, this vast kingdom. He lives in a cave, spending most of his time alone with his thoughts.

– Harreth (Harry): A bright angelic creature, with immaculately snow-white wings and a more petite body, over which a snow-white Roman toga is draped. On his left ankle he wears a bracelet with beads created by their crystal hailstones. A sweet, pretty face with emerald eyes. Just like the rest of the angels, born and incarnated by the creator initially into a spirit, and then acquired a material shell, kind, innocent, but also stubborn and defiant Harreth spent his entire short, barely begun life in Heaven and knew nothing else. Due to his inexperience, he does not have such inveterate prejudices about the evil and vicious nature of fallen angels. He is still too young for some complicated assignments and is learning the business from the senior angels. All angels must undergo proper training and learn centuries-old knowledge from their teachers before being assigned to be a guardian angel, messenger angel, or warrior angel. Sometimes the instructive instructions of the seraphim and cherubim, as well as a strict system of hierarchies and rules, annoy the restless student and he runs away and explores new territories. So once he accidentally fell into an otherworldly, completely unknown world for him, almost crashing if not for his wings that saved him. By a strange fate, he ended up in the kingdom of the Lord of Darkness, in the Land of Eternal Shadows, and this gives rise to their forbidden relationship.

– Creator (Dumbledore): An eternal phenomenon, present everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The original Self and the cause of all things. No one has ever seen his presence, so no one can tell what he looks like, but everyone has heard his soothing, enveloping voice. He can be completely different: wise and understanding, supportive and loving of his creations, but also cunning and manipulative, and in some moments ruthless. The guardian of the past, present and future knows the beginning and the end of time, but to share this knowledge only with his trusted advisers. There is a duality in him in the desire to leave his creations to determine their own fate, and at the same time in the intention to conceal something for their own personal interests.
