Harry was pissed and let his displeasure be known as he threw his fit. People kept touching him and messing around with his magic and dammit that hurt! Lily kept trying to calm him down and apologizing suddenly everyone screamed and Harry went silent every piece of glass in the room had exploded and everyone had been knocked over.
Harry was fuming! In all his lives he'd never once thought Dumbledore had gone so far to bound his magic! Yet, it had just been released and he felt amazing and like he could do anything. Like kill a certain meddling old goat. He'd done it before in a few lives. Those were when he sided with Tom and had no other choice or the man had royally pissed him off like right now! Too bad he was only a baby or he'd be out AK ing the man right now!
Lily was of course threatening to do the same thing . Severus became the voice of reason and suggested the two of them be checked as well. Lily was raging when they found charms on both of them. Again Severus was the voice of reason seeing as Harry really couldn't be at this point and wanted to kill the man just as much as Lily did.
Lily suddenly screamed.
"Harry, you're hair is changing colors." she explained gently, "It just shocked mommy that's all. "
"Otay." Harry said, pulling at his hair. It was longer and messy then any other time he was a baby because James had insisted keeping it short every other time. Except when Harry did his Prodigy acts then James ignored him and pretended he didn't have a son. It was long enough for him to pull a group of strands in to his face so he could see it. Sure enough it was changing color. "Wite , Mama."
"Hang on , Dear." she watched Harry frown and knew why. She always gave into his want to write. "I'm going to ask the Healers to run some more tests to determine your abilities and how smart you are." She explained as if talking to another adult. "It shouldn't hurt at all, honey."
'Oh, great.' Harry sighed to himself . 'I never had to go through this to prove I was a prodigy before!' he seemed to think , 'maybe that's because I was never able to save mom before. Wait if they unbound my magic then will they find other things wrong with me? Maybe they explain the frequent episodes when I can hardly breath. It's been like that ever since my first life. But I wanted to fly. I haven't flown in a long time but the attacks still come on. Didn't I actually die from one? Yeah, that's right that was my fourth life. I died when I was three from an attack. I thought it was asthma now I'll get it confirmed. '
Sure enough he had asthma but it had been hidden mostly by the block on his magic and his own magic which of course was slowly draining him. They gave him a magical inhaler to keep with him always. Or rather they gave it to Lily. They then took a whole medical work up . Then they took him to a room with lots of toys and began testing his IQ and everything else they could think off.
Harry was declared a prodigy in both mental and magical means.
Lily upset Harry a bit by asking if he had any disorder's.
"Well, he has OCD." the Healer laughed, "As you saw he cleaned up after each mess and made a huge fuss when we wouldn't let him. " Harry had actually been distracted until they let him clean up and organize the messes he'd made. "Other than that I don't see any problem with your son, Lily."
"Oh, thank you, Healer Malfoy."
"It's Narcissa." The Healer said, as the door burst open and James came marching in. Harry began wailing. Lily picked him and tried to calm him. "May I help you?"
"I'm Harry's father." James stated, Sirius was behind him and mouthing 'I'm sorry. ' To Lily . "What is my son doing being looked over by some Death Eater scum?!"
"JAMES!" Lily cried, "Healer Malfoy has been nothing if not great to Harry! And he is no longer your son! You must have seen the divorce papers by now!"
"Which I'm not signing! " James yelled, "Give me my son!"
Severus came between Lily/Harry and James. He raised his wand.
"Give me a reason , Potter." he said in a deadly voice."Just one."
"Severus!" Narcissa scolded, the Potter Healer had been their through out the whole thing taking notes on how Narcissa handled the whole process as Narcissa was only in-training. She was the best they had and was on the fast track to become a full Healer before any of her other In-training year mates. "This is not the proper time nor place. You can not curse the child's father."
"See Lily's black eye, Cissy?"
"Yes, I do."
"Potter did that!" Severus was still speaking in that deathly calm voice. "Potter hit her. So she filled for divorce and left him. I don't know where she went but when the kid got sick she called me up and asked me to meet her here. Now I can understand why."
That sank in and was soon being spred around 's because several people had come in because of all the shouting.
Harry wailed and wailed as James screamed and yelled to hand over his son. He had also drawn his wand. Auror's were called but seemed confused until Amelia Bones showed up.
"Lily dear." she rushed over to where Lily was trying desperately., with Narcissa's help, to calm Harry. The fighting had stopped, "I heard that Harry was here and came to check on both of you. Did he sign the papers?"
"He's refusing." Lily sighed, as Harry finally began to calm since the noise was gone. Harry had been pulling at his ears. Finally, she screamed as he popped in to a little wolf pup. She cleared her throat. "I'm sorry, Harry sweetie you just shocked mommy again. I'm not scared or mad at you." in fact in all the Chaos she'd forgotten that she'd been told that Harry was in the running for being a Natural animagus because it ran in the Potter family and the Black family of which Harry was from both. "What a wonderful animal."
"Natural animagus can turn into any animal." Narcissa warned, "My Draco seems determined to stay as a Dragon. " Lily looked horrified.
"A Ridgeback to be exact." Severus put in shaking his head. He'd quickly put his wand away when Madam Bones had come in. "He has Black and Malfoy blood in him so he too carried a double chance of becoming a Natural animagus. "
Harry suddenly became himself again and grabbed some of Severus' hair and giggled as he pulled on it lightly. It wasn't greasy at all it was silky.
"No no, Harry, we mustn't pull hair." Lily said, sternly.
"He's not hurting me." Severus replied, he picked Harry up and sure enough Harry let go and was glaring. The contest resumed. "I'll take this while you deal with that."
"OH NO YOU WONT!" James roared. But Severus was already sitting in a chair in a corner Harry on his lap both of them glaring. " GET YOUR GREASY HANDS OFF MY SON, DEATH EATER!"
Harry panicked as Severus rolled up his left sleeve to show nothing. Harry didn't look away and nether did Severus both maintaining eye contact. Sirius did a number of tests and confirmed nothing was there. Harry knew Severus would have had to hide the mark somehow because Tom had told him Severus was a Death Eater in this life as well.
Madam Bones calmly told James that if he didn't sign he'd be expelled from the Auror's because he, James, knew it was against law to abuse one's wife and neglect one's son if he didn't sign the divorce papers. James read through them and made a fuss about getting full custody of his son. They were now in Amelia's office. Lily had Severus at her side. Surprisingly Sirius was siding with her as well and so was Minerva. both sat on her side.
James had only brought Peter and Albus. Albus of course was trying to smooth everything over while glaring at Harry who was writing in his book on the floor at Lily's feet his hair changing color rapidly. He could have sworn he'd blocked the boy from having that ability when he'd held the boy for the first time. Of course he could have sworn Voldemort would choose Harry as well and he hadn't.
Harry stood and walked around absently he stopped in front of Severus. They locked eyes instantly both glaring. It had become a game with them.
"Up!" He demanded.
"Do you have a dirty dipper?"
"Yes." Harry said innocently making James crack a smile and Sirius break out laughing.
"Then no way." Severus replied, "Get your uncle to change you first."
"no unle. " Harry said pointing at Sirius who sobered up and frowned hurt. "nusin."
"Cousin?" Sirius asked, and Harry nodded, "That's right." Sirius beamed swinging Harry into his arms. "I am your cousin! You're so smart little guy! Now lets go change that yucky dipper."
He grabbed the dipper bag and walked out. Catching James trying to send him a silent message to take Harry out of there and back to the house. Sirius had no intention of doing that.
He heard the arguing all the way down the hall and into the bathroom. Severus had called it the 'Evans Temper' when Sirius had gaped at Lily going off of James . It had been a week since the hospital incident and Sirius had seen the James Severus always complained about.
When they got back he set Harry down and got a glare from James. Harry went right over to Severus.
"UP!" He demanded,
Severus let out an annoyed sigh and picked the boy up putting him in his lap. Harry held up the Potions book Sirius had gotten him. He played with it more than all his other toys because he still wasn't out of the 'A's ' yet and it thrilled him to no end. He opened it to the page where his book mark was and pointed but did not push the picture.
Severus rolled his eyes and began lecturing in a low voice to Harry who got annoyed that he had to talk like a baby and couldn't ask questions properly.
James raged and raged and Dumbledore tried to do his best but in the end James calmed down enough to barter.
"Why would I touch Lily's school vault when I'm one of the richest wizard's in the world. I have no need for that." Lily hid her smirk. Severus hid his sneer and Harry cocked his head to one side. " I don't want my son around Snivillus."
"Severus is my friend." Lily stated coldly. "I'll hang around with him if I damn well please! By extension so will Harry. "
"Sev'rus." Harry stated and gave Severus' hair a tug as to prove Lily's point.
Lily cood at him and kissed his head. Severus let out a long suffering sigh. He had no clue why but Potter's little brat seemed to have attached himself to him and now said brat could say his name. He was never going to hear the end of it. James looked murderous. Sirius found it funny and Minerva was smiling as well. He glanced at Dumbledore and could just see the wheel's turning in the man's head.
"As you can see..." Lily finally said, "Harry doesn't take after you in the fact that he actually likes Severus."
"Sev'rus."
"I don't want my son around that Death Eater trash!"
"You can make your other son stay away from him." Amelia said and had everyone's attention. James looked horrified that she held another birth certificate in his file besides Harry's. "According to this you have an Illegitimate son. His name is James Potter Jr. and his mother is a known stripper." Lily's eyes flashed. "I think you should just sign the papers James. "
James did so his face burning. Right as he finished Kingsley ran in.
"Voldemort just went after a family." he declared . "The mother's dead, the kid's alive and has a scar on his head. " he held out said, kid. Who looked like James. " Don't know his name."
"I believe that this is James Potter Jr." Amelia said. The child woke up and looked around.
"Dada." Jr. said reaching for James. "Dada."
James took the kid.
"When was James Jr. born?" Albus asked.
"July 31st."
"You!" Lily screamed, "You! "
Her magic began crackling.
"He is the child..." Albus breathed more to himself than anyone. James looked shocked. He knew what was happening. He had figured it would be Harry.
Harry on the other hand was cackling in his head merrily. He couldn't wait to ask Tom about that or how he'd figured it out. He also wanted to know if he'd had this brother in any of his past lives but couldn't recall ever coming across him and wondered why. This made him want to do research and he knew away to do it. He just had to hope that the spell he'd cast after his second life to transport all of his things in a beaded bag to the next life held out. He had renewed it every life and even added better spells but it was always a gamble and of course not legal. Not in the least.
