AN: I do not own Harry Potter!

Prologue

The legends surrounding the Lamia are all about a female with the upper half of a woman and the lower half of a snake. She's said to be a baby devouring monster. But that's wrong. The story of the Lamiae have been based on the story of one deranged Lamia that was put down by her peers long ago. Lamiae are not a race made entirely of women, though a male Lamia is rather rare. Or at least they were. Most of the Lamiae were mostly extinct now, hunted and killed for what they were. Though they were near impossible to kill, a spell was invented specifically to kill them.

The Lamiae race was a female dominated race because female Lamia could be created through metamorphosis from a basilisk or other large magical snakes such as jormungands, feathered serpents, and awanyu if they have spent five hundred years out of the eyes of humans in a magically rich area. Of course this only applies to females the only way a male Lamia can come about is for him to be born. But this is a very rare occurrence, only about one out of every seven males born to a Lamia have the chance of becoming a Lamia. The odds are a little higher if the father is a Lamia but not by much, about one out of five. More likely the males will be born as the snakes that their parents used to be. Whereas the females are all born as Lamia, though for some unknown reason most Lamia have males rather than females.

Hundreds of years ago the Lamia population was a decent size, a couple hundred, but now they are all but extinct, hunted to the brink by those afraid of them. But now the world has all but forgotten about them, having few and inaccurate stories and legends about the once great and proud race. But perhaps that can all change. Perhaps one, can bring back the splendor of this species to its former glory. The Lamiae that remain in hiding, can only hope.

Harry Potter. The boy-who-lived. The savior of the wizarding world was laying on his aunt's doorstep just hours after his parents were murdered by Lord Voldemort. He had no idea what would await him in that house for years to come. Abuse, hard labor, neglect. All at the hands of his 'relatives' simply because he had magic. But he was just a baby, a little older than one and didn't understand this or even contemplate this. No, he just slept away, unaware of the danger lurking just inside the house.

But Harry would never see the inside of that house, would never experience the abuse, labor, or neglect. Because he was saved from that by a Naga, a being that vaguely resembled a Lamia in the fact that she had a snake's tale and the upper half of a woman, but she did not contain the other attributes of a Lamia. She was a normal snake, a Black Ratsnake, and she was not as resilient and could die much more easily than a Lamia. She had long waist length white blonde hair, hazel eyes with slit pupils, somewhat pale skin, her snake half had black scales on the top that had little bits of white showing through in areas, and her underside was mostly white with little bits of black showing through, her tongue was long, forked, and pink, like most Naga's.

She slithered up to the boy in the dead of night and snatched him from the doorstep to take him home. Her tongue flickering out to taste the boy. "He is of snake decent. He does not belong to humans." Harry didn't know it, nor did his parents, but they were distantly related to a Lamia and that blood had been born strongly in little Harry. The addition of his mother's blood diluted the congested blood from his father's side and the failed killing cursed unlocked the serpentine blood allowing it to flow freely.

Though he didn't yet have any snake features, do in part to the fact that he was born to humans and not snakes, he would in time. So the Naga, Sessina, would take him home and raise him along with her other children. Or at least she would try. She knew the boy was still too human at the time to be fed as one of her snaklings would.

Frowning a little to herself Sessina made her way home as quickly as possible, not wanting to be seen by any of the humans. She had gone out that night to visit a friend who lived in the muggle world, she would never understand how the other Naga went about on legs whenever she was outside but she knew that the other was happy with her human husband who loved her dearly even though she was part snake. They had decided that the muggle world would be easier for them to live in because he was a muggle and with her being a 'dark' creature it was easier. They didn't have the Ministry breathing down their necks and they were able to live happily.

Sessina briefly wondered if she should take the boy to Tessa (the name her friend had taken to seem more human) and her husband, they would know how to care for the boy while he was more human and when he came into his snake heritage. But looking down at the beautiful child in her arms she wanted to keep him. He had hair as black as night and when his little eyes open she could see the most beautiful shade of green she'd ever seen. She could not give this child up. He was as much hers as her other children were.

So she took him home.

She lived in the wizarding housing district that was between Diagon and Knockturn Alley. Most of the residents there were either some kind of 'dark' creature or a wizard or witch that didn't have the money to live in one of those big fancy house and manors that the rich purebloods lived in but most of the time they would leave soon to go live in the muggle world, not wanting to live next door to such 'dark' creatures, like werewolves, vampires, and Naga. But they liked it that way. It meant that most of the time they could be themselves without having to conceal themselves.

Sessina entered her house and flicked her tongue out, able to tell from the scents of her home that her children were asleep and the babysitter, her friend Tory, was in the living room. Her husband had been killed protecting her and their eggs from Ministry Aurors who claimed that they were killing people in the last village they had lived in. It hadn't been true. They had lived peacefully eating mice, rats, and raw meat they bought at the market. Neither of them had ever even tasted human flesh, nor did they want to, but because they were dark creatures and people had been dying, they assumed it was them.

Her husband, Kilko, had been a very gentle man and had wanted nothing but to live in peace and raise their children. But when those men had showed up and tried to kill them he had turned into a raging monster and attacked. Sessina had gathered her eggs, twelve, and made to run, even though it hurt her to know that she was leaving her husband she knew that if she stayed they would all die.

She had just about reached the floo when she was hit with a cutting curse in the arm, causing her to drop six of her babies. Half of her eggs splattered on the floor, their protective eggs shattering and revealing their partially formed bodies to the elements that they were not ready to face. They died. All of them. It had broken her heart but she hadn't had time to mourn the loss of her children because if she did she would lose the rest. But she couldn't leave her children's bodies there so she gathered them up and entered the floo, watching as her husband was biting and snapping and clawing at the men that remained, he had already killed four of the seven men that had been sent to kill them. From the position of one of the bodies, it was apparent he had killed the man that had killed their babies right after the Auror had cast the spell too. For a moment she allowed her broken heart to take solace from that.

It only took a moment, before she could even throw the flood down to escape to Tessa's, she watched as her husband lunged at one of the men and sank his fangs into his neck, killing him. But then the other man cast a curse at his back, she didn't know what it was, but it made Kilko howl in pain and fall to the ground.

The Auror turned to her and raised his wand, she didn't have time to escape, it would take too long to throw down the powder and call the name of her friend's floo. But before he could incant a curse, Kilko had clamped his venomous fangs around the man's leg. Kilko hand been rather venomous being a Broad-Banded Copperhead so she knew his venom would put the Auror down. He didn't know that though as he screamed and cast curse after curse at the Naga clamped onto his leg but Kilko just kept hanging on. Refusing to let go or die until his family was safe. Until his wife and snaklings were safe.

Crying Sessina threw down the powder and hissed out, "Snakes sanctuary," and disappeared.

She shook away the painful memory, it had been nearly two years since then, and headed to the living room where a pretty werewolf was sitting reading a book. She had long brown hair that was braided down her back, large expressive amber eyes, and nicely tanned skin. "Tory. Thank you for babysitting." She called to the girl.

"My pleasure." The werewolf said as she closed her book and stood up. "The kids were wonderful. Well mostly. They were little terrors for a few minutes when I tried to get them to take their medicine. Shiko even tried to bite me." She rolled her eyes. "But other than that they were little darlings." She then noticed the child in the Naga's arms and raised an eyebrow. "Sessina? Where'd you get the baby?" She asked curiously.

"He was left on the doorstep of muggles in Tessa's town. But he does not belong to the race of man. He has the blood of a serpent." The Naga said, her tongue flicking out in agitation.

Tory held her hands up and then sniffed the boy. "Hm. It's kind of faint but yeah. He's definitely a snake." She looked the boy over. "Never would have guessed by looking at him. He looks human." She gently stroked the boy's cheek.

"I believe he may have been born to humans." She admitted. "You know how that sometimes happens. When a human and a serpent that is able to breed with humans sometimes having children that are more human and will continue to have children with humans until almost all of their serpent blood is gone. I believe that is what happened in the case of this boy. Something must have allowed him to be born with more serpent blood than his parents though." She murmured thoughtfully to herself as her tongue flicked out.

"Well he is a cutie." She said with a grin. "What are you going to call him?" She asked, figuring the Naga didn't know his name since he had been picked up from a doorstep.

"I'm not sure yet." She admitted while looking the boy over again. "Ryuunosuke." She suddenly decided. "Ryuu for short." She smiled at the boy while brushing the baby's fringe out of his sleeping eyes and gasped when she saw an angry cut on the boy's head. "Oh my!" She quickly went to the room she had all of her healing supplies in before Tory could ask what was wrong. She grabbed a few salves to put on the red and slightly inflamed cut on her little Ryuu's head. Most serpents, no matter what kind they were, were great healers and most of them prided themselves on this fact. They could heal better than those wizards and witches at St. Mungos but very few humans appreciated this and would rather kill all of the snakelike creatures that existed rather than admit that they were useful.

She gently rubbed the salve into the cut and heard the little boy make a content sound and snuggle closer to her as he no longer felt so much pain from the wound. Tory had walked in and peeked over the woman's shoulder. She made a sound of sympathy when she saw the lighting shaped cut. "Poor kid. Wonder what happened."

"Well whatever it was, it won't happen again." Sessina leaned down and kissed the top of the little one's head. "It's okay now Ryuu." She murmured to him before turning to her friend. "Tory… he's not yet serpent enough to be fed like my other children. Do you know how to feed a baby the human way?" She asked.

"Of course. I am the resident babysitter." She teased. Tory babysat for everyone on the street except for on the full moons, so she knew what most children needed. "He's still little enough that he'll need formula but he might also be ready to start eating baby food… I think I still have some formula and baby food at home. Would you like me to bring it over tomorrow?"

"That would be greatly appreciated." She said with a relieved smile.

"No problem." The werewolf waved it off. "I also have some books on childcare if you want those." She offered.

"Thank you very much Tory. You're a life saver. I'll just put him to bed and then I'll pay you." The Naga said with a smile.

"I'll wait by the door." She gave the woman a brief hug and then headed back to the front of the house to wait.

Sessina smiled at the little boy as she headed upstairs to her babies room. Since they were so young still, they had only hatched a year and four months ago, they were all in one room. They were sleeping in one crib that had a heat lamp over it to keep them warm, when they got bigger they would be more resilient to the cold but as little babies the cold effected them worse. She paused, wondering where she should put Ryuu. She couldn't put him in with the other little snaklings. They needed the heat lamp but Ryuu didn't. In fact putting him under the heat lamp might endanger him, he could over heat. Biting her lip in thought she looked around the room. She gathered some blankets and a pillow and set up a little, almost bassinet area for him to sleep in. "I'll get you a crib tomorrow little one." She gently hissed to him while running her fingers through his hair.

She checked on her other babies who were all sleeping curled up with each other, Hino, her only little boy, was sucking on his tail like he normally did and it made her laugh a little. Hino looked so much like his father already… with dark brown hair and beautiful gold colored eyes, he even had Kilko's nose and jaw, he was also a copper head and she was sure he would exactly like his father when he grew up. She smiled a little at her baby boy and then turned to check on his five sisters.

Shiko was curled up using her own tail as a pillow, her white blonde hair as wild and messy as it always was and her golden eyes were closed as she slept peacefully. She had her mother's nose and lips and her father's snake traits, it was a good thing her babies hadn't come into their venom yet or Tory might not be leaving tonight. Kiko had a tuff of brown hair and warm brown eyes, her father's nose and her mother's snake like traits, she was curled up mostly on top of her sister, Lissana. Lissana had her tail wrapped around her sister as she was sucking her thumb, she had pale brown hair, golden brown eyes and her father's snake attributes.

Next to them was Rikka, she had one of her hands fisted in her white blonde hair, her eyes looked like melting honey, her nose was more like her father's and her mother's lips, she also had her mother's snake traits. She was sleeping on her stomach with her tail being hugged by little Zissa. Zissa had golden hair, and eyes that sometimes made her think that the little one was made from the sunshine itself. She mostly looked like her mother in facial structure except the shape of her eyes and she had her father's snake attributes.

Sessina smiled at all of her little ones and kissed each of their heads before going back downstairs to pay Tory. Her husband had left all of his money to her and their children, even though it hadn't actually been all that much compared to other vaults it was still enough to keep them supported. She took out six Sickles, and five Knuts. "Here. And thank you again." She said with a smile.

"It's no problem, really." Tory insisted while putting the money away. "I'll bring the formula and baby food tomorrow. See you then."

"See you." She watched the werewolf walk home and then headed back inside. She went up to her room and slithered up onto her bed. "Today was a good day." She murmured to herself.

)()()()()()()()()()()()()()()(

The next morning she was woken by seven crying children. She yawned and got out of bed to make her way over to their room. She knew that her little snaklings were hungry so she put little dead mice in their crib for them, knowing they would be able to feed themselves. She then turned to Ryuu and picked him up. "Sh. Sh. Your food will be here soon little one." She murmured to him as he made little hungry whimpering sounds. "I know, I know. You're hungry." She hissed soothingly. "It's okay."

She let out a relieved sigh when she heard a knock on the door. Making her way downstairs she let Tory in. The werewolf smiled in amusement at the Naga. "Here." She said handing her a premade bottle. "I figured it would be best to make him a bottle before coming over. I'll show you how once he's finished." She told her as they made their way upstairs to the rest of the children who were all finishing their own meals.

Sessina smiled as she gave little Ryuu the bottle, which he drank happily and hungrily. "Thank you Tory. I felt bad that I couldn't feed him along with his siblings." She said while rubbing the little boy's back as he ate.

"It's no big deal, really." She said as they both started to take the little snakes out of their crib. They looked curiously at the baby in their mother's arms and made little questioning hisses that had no actual words to them.

"My sweet little snakes, this is your new brother, Ryuu." She told them. "He's a little different than you but he's your brother. So be nice to him." They all made little hisses of agreement as they slithered around the room.

She knew her little ones were growing up fast. Snaklings tended to age mentally a little faster than humans. She knew they understood her and they could all talk fairly well, before she knew it they would be all grown up. "Mama?" Rikka hissed.

"Yes baby? What is it?"

"Why does our brother have legs?" She asked curiously.

"You see your knew brother was born a little different. He hasn't come into his snake half yet because he was born to humans. But he will in time." She promised the little girl while patting her head. "Until then he will have legs. And even after he gets a tail he might prefer keeping legs, like Aunt Tessa, because he might be more used to those." She explained to her children who were all listening to her. "But he is your brother. So try not to treat him differently. Also he might not be able to speak yet so don't be upset if he doesn't talk to you."

"Yes Mama." They chorused.

"Those are my good babies." She smiled at all of them and then looked down at Ryuu as he finished his bottle.

"Alright everyone!" Tory called, getting all of their attention. "Your Mama needs to get some things for your new brother today. So I'll be babysitting again." She told them making all of them smile and grin, they liked their Aunt Tory after all.

Sessina smiled a little at her. "Thank you Tory. I need to get little Ryuu here a crib and more of this formula and the baby food."

"Figured. So I'll take care of the little snakes." She looked at the child in Sessina's arms. "Are you going to be taking him with you?" She asked curiously.

"No. I'll leave him here with you. I think he needs to spend a little bit of time with his new siblings. Don't you Ryuu." She smiled down at the little baby who cooed back. "But before I leave I will be eating. Have you eaten yet this morning Tory?" She asked.

"Yep." She scooped up Rikka and Kiko as she was following the Naga downstairs, making both little girls hiss-squeal in surprise as they held onto her. "So I'm not hungry." She said with a grin as the other four little snakes were following their mother and aunt downstairs.

Sessina smiled at her and then entered the kitchen and made herself some breakfast, a bowl of raw meat chunks with milk. She had picked up the taste for it from Kilko. She had thought it was strange at first but after trying it she always had a bowl for breakfast.

Tory chuckled as she watched her eat. "I still don't get how you can eat that Sess." The werewolf said with a slight shake of her head.

"Don't knock it 'til you try it." The Naga told her with a slight grin.

"Well whatever." She rolled her eyes at the other and sat down as the little snakes slithered around the room, hissing with each other and starting little adventuring games.

Suddenly the paper appeared on a little corner of Sessina's counter. She paused in her eating to grab the paper and read it over. "Oh." She gasped in surprise.

"What is it?" Tory asked, not yet having a chance to read her own newspaper.

"The Dark Lord was defeated last night." She said while looking back at the paper. "Seems that the Potters were killed and their son defeated him. They're calling the boy, 'The boy-who-lived'. Poor thing. His parents get killed and now those wizards are going to be calling him savior." She shook her head a little bit. "Wizards really are foolish things."

"Tell me about it." She rolled her eyes. "Not that some of our kind are much better. Joining a madman like that just because he promises to treat us proper in the new world he creates? Yeah right. If he won he'd probably kill us all. Well except for maybe those of you that are snakes but the rest of us would be screwed."

"He does seem like the type." The Naga agreed while scanning the paper a little more before handing it to her friend to read. After she finished her breakfast she kissed all of her children's heads and then headed out to the Alleys. She took on a human appearance so that she wouldn't attract attention and started her shopping. She stayed mostly on Knockturn Alley where she knew no one would care if she was in her snake form but some of the things she needed were on Diagon.

After getting everything she needed it was about noon, so she made her way home, not wanting to try and find a place to eat somewhere in the Alleys. She wanted to get home to her children.

)()()()()()()()()()()()()()(

When she entered her home her tongue flicked out and she followed the taste to the children's playroom where they were all playing as Tory sat in the corner, watching them. Ryuu was sitting and playing with a little stuffed snake as his siblings were all playing around and with him.

Smiling Sessina turned to Tory who was frowning a little bit. "Tory?" She asked worriedly.

"You just read the one article this morning right?"

"Yes… what's wrong?"

The werewolf took out the paper and handed it to her. Confused the Naga looked through the paper and froze when she came to an article that described Harry Potter. And more specifically the scar he had gotten from the failed killing curse. The same scar that Ryuu had. "Are… you saying that Ryuu is…"

"Is Harry Potter? Yes. I am. I mean it's the only explanation." She looked at her. "You kidnapped the savior of the wizarding world. They're going to be looking everywhere for him." She told her.

"And what are you suggesting I do?" The Naga asked with slightly narrowed eyes.

"I'm suggesting you make sure he doesn't look like Harry Potter." She said while crossing her arms over her chest and leaning back against her seat as she looked at the little boy. "When his snake features finally come out he probably won't look too much like Harry Potter, but until then… You can't let people see him. And if he ends up looking like either of his parents… then you're screwed because you can't leave him locked up in here. Unless you in all your snaky wisdom have something that will change what he looks like."

Sessina hummed thoughtfully and then nodded a little bit. "Actually I think I do." She said with a slight smile.

"Seriously?" The werewolf blinked at her.

"Well you have to expect my race to have some secrets. And these secrets can't be undone by normal witches and wizards either." She smiled turned away. "I'll be right back. Can you watch the kids for a little longer?"

"Course." She said with a curious tilt of her head as she watched the other leave the room.

When the Naga returned she was carrying two books in her hands. They looked like hand written journals and like they were bound in some kind of snake skins, one was a deep rich green and the other was a soft brown color. "This is a spell book written by my ancestors." She said while holding up the green one. "And this one was written by Kilko's ancestors." She said while holding up the brown one. "They're full of our family spells and secrets." She said while running her fingers over the covers before opening the green one and started reading.

Tory peeked over her shoulder and then frowned since she couldn't read the language. Or really even the script. "What language is that?" She asked curiously.

"Parselmouth. The language of the snakes. What language did you expect?" She asked teasingly.

She pouted. "I don't know. Something readable." She grumbled while crossing her arms over her chest. "So what are you looking for?"

"Something that will change Ryuu's appearance." Sessina explained while flipping through some more pages before pausing on a page.

::In the case of Naga wishing to adopt a child through blood the child must be serpentine. If they have no serpent blood the adoption will kill them, or at the very least make them very, very sick. If a child is serpentine but not the same kind of snake. Like if they were a Basilisk and you were a Naga, if you adopted them it would, at most, change the colors of their scales, or if they have a human like appearance that appearance will change. But a basilisk will not become a Naga no matter who, or what serpentine creature, they're adopted by.::

The passage went on to describe an adoption ritual that would make Ryuu her child through blood. Then no one would be able to take him from her, and his appearance would be different so hopefully no one would recognize him. And she could always put a glamour on his scar. Of course with Parselmagic because Parselmagic could only be removed with Parselmagic. She would just put a glamour on the boy but glamours could be seen through, even those cast with Parselmagic. So it was preferable to not just use a glamour in a situation like this.

She nodded a little to herself as she reread what she would need to do for the ritual. It would be complicated but worth it. She needed to brew a special potion for her and Ryuu, draw a runic circle that Ryuu would lay in, a runic circle she would stand in, and then incant the spell. It would take time, about a week to brew the potion and then about a day to draw the runic circles perfectly. Then the ritual itself would take about an hour to work. "This will take a little over a week to do…"

"What will?" Tory asked curiously.

"An adoption ritual. It will make Ryuu my child through blood and it will change his appearance." She said while humming a little to herself.

"Well he would be yours then. After adopting him even the Ministry wouldn't be able to take him from you. Not that they know where you are." She teased playfully.

"Yes well I like the thought of them having no right to my children." The Naga said with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Mama. I'm hungry." Hino hissed as he slithered up to his mother, the other's following after, even little Ryuu, when he noticed all of them moving over to Sessina he started crawling over too, making the Naga smile a bit at the little boy.

"Alright babies. Let's go get food." She picked up Hino and Ryuu as Tory picked up Lissiana and Zissa. As they got up and made their way into the kitchen and all of the little snakes got in their high chairs as she set Ryuu down in his own highchair. "What does everyone want for lunch?"

"Mice! Mice!" Shiko hissed while bouncing up and down.

"I want bird." Zissa hissed softly.

"I want mice too." Kiko clapped her hands a little in excitement.

Hino was thinking hard about what he wanted before speaking. "I want frog."

"Mousey. I want a mousey." Rikka hissed eagerly.

"I also want a bird." Lissana told her eagerly.

"Alright my sweets. I'll get you your lunch." She told them as she gathered what they wanted together and gave them all what they wanted. Then she turned to Ryuu and gave him some mashed peas and carrots for him to eat along with a bottle of formula in case he didn't like the baby food.

After making sure her children were all eating she made herself a sandwich of raw beef with blood with hot sauce on top. Tory got herself a nice bloody steak. The lunch was nice and Ryuu ate his peas and carrots, seeming to really like them too. She would continue feeding him formula for a while longer but she would mostly be feeding him baby food from now on.

They spent the day playing in the playroom and after dinner Sessina put her little ones to bed and said good night to Tory. She then spent the rest of the night until she was ready for bed, brewing the potion for Ryuu's adoption. She could only hope everything went right.

)()()()()()()()()()()()()()(

On the day she had finally finished everything for Ryuu's adoption she was rather nervous. She hoped she had gotten everything right and that everything would go smoothly. She double and triple checked the runic circles to make sure they were exactly how they were in her ancestor's journal. Which they were, but she was just so worried. What if it didn't work?

She shook her head to clear it and then started rocking Ryuu and Tory kept the other children in the play room away from the ritual so that they would interrupt it. She kissed the top of the little boy's head and then fed him the potion. He made little whining noises and whimpered at the taste.

"I know. I know. It's awful. But I'm taking it too." Sessina told him while taking her own potion and making a little face at the taste. She then placed the boy in a little bouncer in his circle before going to her own. Taking a deep, breath, she recited the spell.

"Mother magic I invoke and beg you. Come to me and aid me in my time of need.

"Help me make this child mine in blood!" She called, having to take a moment to take deep, somewhat shaky breath.

"In all your wisdom and splendor bring this child into my family! Into my home!

"Make him one with my blood! For I wish to bring him into my brood! Make him my family!

"SO MOTE IT BE!"

The magic built up in the room and the runic circles her and Ryuu were in glowed green with serpentine magic and wrapped around the two. Ryuu made a little sound of confused distress at the sudden and disorienting colors. But after a few moments he started swatting at the light curiously, making Sessina smile. "At least he's not afraid of magic."

She let out a hiss of pain as she felt her palm get sliced. Looking down she saw her blooding flowing out of the cut and forming, what looked to be, a snake. It slithered across the short space between her and Ryuu and then it curled around the boy and his entire body was covered in her blood. He let out a little squeal of fear before the blood was absorbed into his skin. The magic pulsed and then exploded in a burst of bright light, blinding her for a moment.

When the spots cleared from her vision she saw that the runic circles were gone, indicating the end of the ritual, so she went over to the baby boy. His hair was still mostly black but now his bangs were white, his skin, which had been a little more tanned was now more of a peach color, his face structure was a little different than before too but it was hard to tell since he was still such a young baby but the shape of his mouth had changed and resembled hers quite a bit now. His little eyes were screwed closed from the bright light but when she picked him up he opened them again to look at her, and she gasped a little at the change. One of his eyes was still a beautiful emerald color and the other was a gorgeous shade of ocean blue, like her mother's had been. They were beautiful, and they were slit like hers and all snakes' eyes were.

She smiled at him and kissed the top of his head. "You're beautiful." She murmured to him. "Welcome to the family Ryuu." She kissed the top of his head again. "I love you and no one will ever take you from me."

Dumbledore was not a happy man. Harry Potter was missing! He had just disappeared! And when he'd questioned the boy's relatives he had never even entered the house! What on Earth could have happened to the boy? Did Voldemort's men get him? But how? How could they have known he was going to be there? They hadn't even known that Voldemort was dead at that point.

They needed Harry. He needed to be alive because there was no way Voldemort was actually dead. Defeated yes, dead no. They needed Harry to fulfill the prophesy and kill Voldemort.

He pinched the bridge of his nose. All of his planning was useless without the boy. He needed to be the Wizarding World's messiah. So far he had been able to keep anyone from finding out the boy was missing but what would he do when it was time for the boy to come to school? And who knew what the boy would be like when he came to school?

He knew Harry was still alive because the boy's name was still on the list of children who had performed accidental magic. The way Hogwarts knew what students to write letters for was a nationwide spell that detected accidental magic that happened within the country's borders and then copied their name onto a list. So the good thing was, Harry was alive. The bad thing was he had no idea what the boy would be like when he finally did come to Hogwarts. Turning to the list he scanned it for Harry's name. But he couldn't find it. It was gone!

"No! No this can't be!" He cried out. If his name was gone then that meant he was dead!
