Chapter One: The Will,

4 June, 1982

Malfoy Manor

Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy where sitting then the dining hall preparing for Draco's 2nd birthday. Then there was an owl rapping its claw on the window, a newspaper held in its beak. Lucius paced slowly over to the owl, grabbing the newspaper out of the beak, and put five Knuts into a small leather pouch tied to it.

"Cissy, look who made the front page," Lucius smirked handing her the paper.

"The Potter's Will? Gods a year dead and this is just getting out?"

"It says it's opened to the public, we should go."

"Why? I doubt that James and Lily left anything to two slimy snakes."

"But I'm sure Severus will be there and he will need our support."

"Yes, you are right love. Severus will need us."

"Dobby!"

POP

"Yes master, you call for Dobby?"

"Dobby, Lady Malfoy and I are going to be gone for a few hours. I want a large meal prepared Master Snape will most likely will be joining us."

"Yes Master."

Gringotts Lobby

Lucius and Narcissa looked around the packed lobby for any signs of their dark friend. It took them a while to find the black haired man, sitting alone in a corner with tear stained eyes. Lucius frowned at his best friend; they had not seen him this way since the death of the green-eyed beauty. Narcissa sat aside him trying to comfort him, wiping the tears away.

"Quiet Please. It is time. I present you the last will and testament of James and Lily Potter."

Hello everyone!

Lucius gave squeeze on Snape's shoulder, while Narcissa took his hand. He gave them both brief nods before focusing completely.

The date is November 6, 1980 the voice of Lily Potter stated. We have been in hiding for a little over five months, so I believe we such make a will.

I, James Harrison Potter, being of sound mind and body and not acting under duress or undue influence, do hereby make and declare this recording to be my Last Will and Testament, and do hereby revoke any and all previous wills made by me.

I, Lily Marie Potter nee Evans , being of sound mind and body and not acting under duress or undue influence, do hereby make and declare this recording to be my Last Will and Testament, and do hereby revoke any and all other wills made by me.

Our first order of business is James spoke our assets.

To my son, Harrison James Potter, a trust vault has been set up for you by my father to be used until you come of age, Potter Family Vault, all the Potter real estate and my father's Invisibility Cloak . The retainer of my vault will go to Remus Lupin upon my death.

To Severus Snape Lily took over. Yes Sevvie I'm talking to you. First I leave you my forgiveness, I forgive you always have now stop moping around.

Severus held back a sob, and smiled softly though his tears.

Secondly, Lily continued. I know you have your own wealth, but I live you my potion supplies hidden in our place. There are things there that will make your heart burst. To Petunia Dursley, I leave you our parents' house in France enjoy it. To my close friend Alice Longbottom I leave you my lifetime supple of strawberry bubblegum.

And Lastly the voice of James Potter continued. Who will raise, care for, and teach our son, Harry James Potter, upon our untimely demise.

We have chosen people to whom we trust with our most precious child and will teach him as such, Lily spoke.

Sirius Orion Black, I named you Godfather to my son, Harry James Potter you and your mate Remus John Lupin are first in line to raise our son, James said proudly.

If in the event that Sirius and Remus cannot or is unable to raise Harry, Lily continued. I choose Harry's Godmother Narcissa Malfoy nee Black as next in line.

Narcissa's eyes widen as everyone else shudder.

If Mrs. Malfoy cannot or will not or is unable to raise our son, then we choose Severus Snape as third in line. If, for some unthinkable reason, our son cannot be raised by the chosen, then he must not must not under any circumstances go to my sister, Petunia Evan Dursley. I love her but she and her husband hate magic and I fear what they would do to our son.

"And now this concludes the Last Will and Testament of James and Lily Potter. So be mote."

"So be mote" the room chorused.

"Will those mentioned in the will please follow me into the back room."

Lucius Severus and Narcissa followed the small goblin into a small room, where sat three other people, Remus Lupin, Augusta Longbottom, and Albus Dumbledore. Lupin growled upon see the three Slytherins enter the room. Snape sneered that Lupin and took as seat between his two friends. Lucius was the first to speak:

"What is he doing here? I heard nothing about Dumbledore in the Will"

"Well Lucius, my boy I am here to represent Lily's sister" Dumbledore said before turning to the goblin Griphook. "Please continue."

"The first bequest is the vault of James Potter, Mr. Lupin 110,125 galleons will be added your vault"

"Thank you," Remus smiled.

"Next the potion's supplies, the will states that you know the location" Griphook asked.

Severus nodded.

"Lady Longbottom, the bubblegum bowl has been placed in Mrs. Longbottom's room at St Mungo's"

"Thank you kindly"

"Now the bequest is the guardianship of Harry James Potter," Griphook began after Lady Longbottom exited. "As Sirius Black is unable to assume his duties, the guardianship goes to you Lady Malfoy."

"Wait, I would like to know how this came to be Mrs. Malfoy" Dumbledore asked.

Narcissa sneered, "Ask if I know you blood traitor."

Lucius smirked at his wife "We have never been close to the Potters, true perhaps they just wanted a loving home which of course we are happy to give him. Our son Draco always wanted a brother."

Dumbledore face paled "Well I am sorry to inform, you cannot be removed Harry from the care of his Aunt"

Narcissa's face flashed with fury "WHAT? THE MAGIC HATING MUGGLES! YOU WILL REMOVE HIM AND GIVE HIM TO US."

"Albus, if you don't remove Harry and place him with us, will have you throw to the Dementors," Lucius said matter-of-factly.

-o-

A knock on the door made Petunia sigh. She opened the door and froze.

"YOU! You Awful Man."

Severus smirked "Yes me, Now Tuney where is Lily's son?"

"We want nothing to do with you freaks!"

"I'm here for Harry, well we're here for Harry" Severus grinned as Lucius and Narcissa walked in with wand pointed at the horse faced women.

Petunia shuddered in horror "He…He isn't here"

"Don't be stupid. Surely Lily told you about the horrible murders, the Death Eaters, well you have three in your home" Severus sneered as the three of the reveled their dark marks.

"The cupboard!" Petunia gasped out. "Just take the freak and leave, kill him elsewhere." Narcissa ran and unlocked the cupboard to see a sickly thin infant, with pale skin, and jet black hair. Narcissa pulled Harry into her arms then turned to look at Petunia.

"You monster! How could you do this to a child? Your own blood?"

"We will be back for you," Lucius promised.
