"You know Potter, this isn't exactly fair, me fighting with a child." Voldemort chuckled.
"Two things wrong with that statement, Tommy. One, since when are you ever fair? and two, this child recalls kicking your butt a couple of times at younger ages." Harry retorted.
'Potter, you fool! why are you arguing with him? Your just putting yourself deeper into the snake's pit!' Severus Snape thought furiously as he stood silently behind his death eater mask, watching the affair.
Apparently, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger were kidnapped the last day of the semester right before they could reach the Hogwarts Express.
Despite Harry mocking the red eyed man, Voldemort merely smiled. "Now now Potter, you may want to control your temper. Wouldn't want something to happen to your sweet little mudblood of a girlfriend, would you?" he said in mock scolding.
At his statement, a death eater pushed Hermione into view.
"No! If you touch one hair on her head-" Harry threatened but stopped short when he saw his friend's terrified face.
"Now Harry, I didn't bring you here to kill you." Voldemort hissed "I brought you hear to make a deal."
"Why'd you bring Hermione here then?" Harry asked coldly.
"Well I needed a threat to make you behave yourself, didn't I?" he replied.
Harry didn't reply and Voldemort went on.
"Now then, it seems as though we had gotten off on the wrong foot. I have a potion to de-age you back to 15 months and you can relive your life without your muggle relatives. I will drop you off at an orphanage not too far from here. Perhaps when you are back to this age in fourteen years, you'll reconsider my offer to join my side.
'Fat chance.' Harry thought but didn't voice his opinion. 'I would never join Voldemort's side, no matter what age or year! I would love to re-live my life though, without the Dursleys' Harry thought.
"All right, you've got your self a deal" Harry said and Voldemort revealed a mysterious mint green liquid swirling inside a vile.
Harry gingerly took the vile from Voldemort's hands.
He uncorked the vile and raised it to his lips.
"No!" Hermione screamed as she got free of the man that was holding her.
She ran to Harry, but tripped over her shredded robes.
She collided into her best friend and the vile flew into the air and emptied it's contents onto the two of them.
Slowly but surely Harry and Hermionie began to shrink.
Their hair grew shorter and their teeth began to disappear.
Soon all you saw were two lumps in piles of robes and the lumps were moving.
Voldemort removed the clothing to reveal two babies.
One with chestnut eyes to match her curly hair that was just past her ears. The other had black hair sticking up every which way and beautiful green eyes.
"Foolish girl" Voldemort said. "Severus!" the Dark Lord snapped.
Severus knelt down before the man "yes, my lord?" he stated.
"Take the brats to the orphanage." he smirked. "yes my lord" Severus said again as he scooped the two children up easily.
With that he quickly apparated away.
What the dark lord didn't know is Severus didn't go to the orphanage, he went to Hogwarts.
As he said the password to Dumbledore's office, Harry began to squirm.
"Potter! knock it off, I know you still have your fourteen year old brain and you don't want me holding you, but swallow that blasted Gryffindor pride of yours and sit still! Once we are in the headmaster's office, I'll set you down."
Harry wondered how he knew he kept his memories and settled down as the potions master had asked.
They reached his office and Dumbledore was sitting at his desk with his hands folded, as if he knew they would be arriving.
"Severus! Glad to have you back! and you've brought Harry and Hermione as well" Dumbledore said cheerfully.
Severus set the kids down on the floor and proceeded to tell the headmaster what happened at the meeting. The term 'foolish Gryiffindor courage' came up more than a few times in his tale.
'Snape, why do we still have our memories?' Harry tried to say but all that was understood was the word 'Nape.'
Dumbledore chuckled. "It appears young Mr. Potter would like your attention Severus" He said.
Snape looked down and at him and Harry tried again.
'mem'ries' was what was heard this time.
"You and Granger have your memories because you didn't actually ingest the potion. Good thing too. When ingested, the potion not only de-ages the drinker but makes them grow-up bitter to the world." Severus explained.
Harry's eyes became wide at this statement and he turned to look at Hermione, who's nod confirmed Snape's words. 'I read about it in a book once' Hermione said but Harry was the only one who could understand her.
Albus smiled fondly at the two as they babbled back and forth then looked at Severus with a twinkle in his eyes.
Severus groaned mentally, he knew what the headmaster was thinking.
"Severus I trust you to keep them safe until we find a solution." Severus wanted to say no, he wanted to object about having to baby-sit James Potter's son and the know-it-all.
He wanted to, but instead he nodded wordlessly and told the children to follow him out of the office.
He was halfway down the stairs when he realized that his new wards were still struggling on the second step.
Severus rolled his eyes at them then asked "Do you need assistance?" Hermione blushed and nodded while Harry stubbornly refused the help.
Severus walked up the stairs and lifted the little girl into his arms, then offered to carry Harry one more time.
He swiftly ignored Severus and focused on the next step.
Severus glared at him and descended down the stairs once more with Hermione resting on his hip.
It took about ten more minutes but Harry did make it to the bottom of the staircase.
He beamed with pride for himself as he toddled behind Severus, Hermione asleep in his arms.
