Book 8 - Harry Potter and the League of Paragons

Voldemort, like Hitler, was obsessed with a "pure master race," so he tried to breed the perfect specimens. Tom Riddle, being an attractive man, and believing everyone around him as being weaker and easily manipulated, would have noticed the advantages of being good-looking. As a result, his perfect followers would have to be especially atractive so they could easily persuade even more people to be loyal to the Dark Lord's cause. He would have Veelas breed with his top Death Eaters, or perhaps just have one exceptional Death Eater empregnate several different Veelas, to ensure they would have superiour beauty.

(I suspect Voldemort considered sexual lust as "common," and therefore beneath him. He lusted for power, not another body, and would have any desire to sleep with the Veelas hmself.)

Also, Voldemort would certainly have the babies injected with potions after their birth to enhance their physical and mental capabilities. In the Hogwarts textbooks, Hermione never mentions serums that can improve magical capability, but Voldemort could have had his top potion makers, such as Severus, design some to give the specimens.

Even though he didn't contribute to their genetics himself, Voldemort still ordered their creation, and would thusly expect the specimens to view him as their father. In Voldemort's mind, the "children" would be so grateful to him for bringing them life and giving them better powers than any other creature on Earth that they would be even more loyal than any of his Death Eaters. Good children obey their fathers, don't they?

The Dark Lord would want the creations to be loyal to him and only him, not even have fidelity for each other, ergo he would have them raised separately. One of each would live with a different Death Eater, though not the Death Eater that fathered them because Voldemort would not want to risk them developing a parental attachment for someone that was not himself. Again, Voldemort demonstrates underestimating the power of love, and that people do not to be blood related to become family. The children would be taught in the arts of magic by private tutors rather than attend school because their existence must remain secret until the Dark Lord is ready to reveal them.

As seen in the cave with Dumbledore, Voldemort didn't consider underaged wizards worthwhile, ergo he would have the message magically ingrained into his children to come to a location to meet him on their seventeenth birthdays once they were worthwhile adults.

Voldemort began this endeavour in 1980, meaning that the children were born in 1981 a few months before Harry became The Boy Who Lived and Voldemort was defeated the first time.

In spite of the fact that their lord had fallen, the Death Eaters were fearful of neglecting to raise his "children," so they kept them confined to the designated home and tutored them in magic and the greatness of Voldemort, who had given them life.

One surrogate parent, however, failed to tell the child how amazing Voldemort was. This surrogate parent arranged for the child to be with a tutor/nanny of Dumbledore's choosing whenever he was away at work. This surrogate parent taught the child to resent being "an experiment" designed by a selfishly ambitious man. This surrogate parent was, of course, Severus Snape.

When the children turned seventeen and instinctively went to the place where they were to meet their creator, Voldemort had already been destroyed by Harry Potter (for the final time) almost a year previously. This hardly mattered, though, since now the children had finally met each other, met others as unique in abilities as they were themselves, met the rest of the people the infamous He Who Must Not Be Named designed as perfect. They felt an instant connection and - with teaching of power-hungry Death Eaters harped upon them from babyhood - recognised that by joining together they would be unstoppable. They elected to refer to themselves as the League of Paragons. (A paragon is a model of perfection or excellence.)

One of the seven (Naturally, Voldemort would have wanted seven children, considering it the most magical number.) was not interested in joining this syndicate. Snape's surrogate child went to warn the great Harry Potter that had brought down Voldemort so many times, assuming that Harry would surely also be able to deafeat Voldemort's "children."

Now, Harry must work alongside someone raised by Severus Snape, a person that Harry hated for so long and recently came to admire. After all, only one of the seven experiments realises what the other experiments are capable of, so Harry will need the guidance. Harry reforms the Order of the Phoenix with all of our favourite characters (Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, etcetera) to go against the League of Paragons.
