A/N: I had thought I'd published this story earlier, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It was written back on '09 or '10, and my husband and I are just now getting around to updating it. Currently written are chapters 1 – 11. Please note that this was written before we had completed the series. This particular fic is based on book 6.

CHAPTER ONE: Potter's Son

Greenish-black eyes blinked up at him in a sleep clouded haze as Harry gazed down and his month-old son. He was still in awe as he held James Sirius in his arms. Sure he was an accident but a beautiful one and Harry wouldn't have it any other way.

"Harry the Headmaster is here to see you." Madam Pomfrey said.

Harry nodded and held his son a little tighter. Dumbledore had been trying to get him to give his son up ever since he had been born, but it was not happening. He was tired of being Dumbledore's pawn and wasn't about to let him son share his fate. He looked up as the Headmaster came in along with Fudge, Molly Weasley, Snape, and his two ex-best friends, Ron and Hermione.

"Harry," Dumbledore said softly, "The Minister is here with the papers. You need to sign them."

Harry frowned. "What do you mean 'papers I have to sign'?"

Dumbledore gave him a disapproving look. "Harry as I told you before it is not safe for you to have a child right now. That is why The Minister is here with adoption papers so that Molly can take the child and we can perform the Blood rite so the child will be hers."

"No."

"Excuse me?" Dumbledore asked a bit shocked.

"No." Harry repeated with a glare. "You are not taking my son."

"Harry be reasonable about—"

"Shove it Granger. I am tried of you hanging around. Didn't I tell you I didn't want to be around people who are only my friends because they are paid to be? So you and Weasly get out."

"Harry." Dumbledore said. "If you refuse to give you son up for adoption I am afraid that the Ministry will step in and they might not find you a suitable parent."

"Is that a threat?" Harry asked looking down at his son.

"No Harry. It's the truth."

"Well that's too. Damn. Bad. The Ministry is not taking my son and I am not giving him up to you or your pawns." Harry said holding his son closer.

"You are still sixteen Harry. The Ministry—"

"Can it Fudge. I told you my answer."

Dumbledore let out a sigh. "Then I am sorry it has to be this way Harry." He said pulling out his wand. "I really am."

"So am I." Harry said softly. "I need you Abyss."

There was a rush of something that filled the room. A few feet away from the foot of Harry's bed a huge oval of blackness with an oil like rainbow sheen appeared. A person in a long cloak appeared and the black thing closed. A wall of impenetrable magic appeared between Harry and the figure and everyone else. Harry looked up with something akin to relief on his face.

"I didn't think you would come."

The person just came closer.

"This is my son. James Sirius. And the reason I called was..." Harry looked up hopefully. "I need you to do me a big favor."

The person nodded and came to stand next to the bed.

"Remember what I told you about before? Well It has happened. I need you to keep my son safe."

The person looked up from the baby to Harry rather quickly. Dumbledore cast several spells to break the magic wall but none were working. Fudge and Molly were trying to get Harry to 'be reasonable' while Hermione and Ron were yelling at him to listen to the Headmaster. Snape was the only person who didn't seem to have anything to say.

The person pulled back their hood to reveal and tall young woman about nineteen with long silver hair that had black streak and some red in places. She was slightly tanned and yet muscular yet it only made her more beautiful. But it was her eyes that captivate them. Her eyes were a stunning violet.

She reached out and picked the child up form Harry's arms and pulled the babe close to her chest. "I will do as you ask my friend." She said, her voice commanding yet emotionless at the same time.

She slowly backed away from Harry with James Sirius still sleeping in her arms. The blackness from earlier that heralded her arrival appeared again. Harry watched with tears in his eyes. She reached the blackness and stopped.

"I promise you Harry that he will be safe and he will be loved. You have my word as I swear it on my non-existence."

"I know. Thank you."

She nodded and backing into the portal and it disappeared. As it vanished the magic wall fell as well and Harry let out a cry. No one moved except Snape who came over and placed a hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry pulled away but then gave into the comfort that the Potions Master was showing him.

"Are you sure our son will be safe with her?" Snape asked softly.

"Yes." Harry said as he dried his tears. "Akumanox will take good care of my son."
