Lucius Malfoy waited outside the courtroom for the Minster of Magic, his wife, Narcissa Black-Malfoy, waited with him. Their son, Draconic Svetlano Malfoy, slept peaceful in her arms. The Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Albus Dumbledore walked out of the room with Severus Snape. Severus was pale and looked sickly, then again he had been in Azkaban for three weeks.
"Severus…" Narcissa said reaching to hug him with one arm.
"Narcissa." Severus whispered quietly.
"How are you?" Narcissa's voice almost dipped into concern, but she held back any emotion in front of Dumbledore.
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Malfoy. Is there something I can help you with?" Dumbledore asked.
"We are waiting for Minster Fudge." Lucius detested Dumbledore, he always had even as a young first year at Hogwarts.
"Ah, very well. Come, Severus, let us return to Hogwarts." Dumbledore surprisingly did know how much the Malfoys hated him, but it didn't bother him in the slightest.
"Severus?" Narcissa asked, but the black haired man only shook his head miserably and left with Dumbledore. Lucius watched is old friend in shock. The moment the two had turned the corner, Cornelius Fudge walked out of the courtroom.
"Ah! Lucius! How wonderful to see you! What can I do for you?" Lucius knew how much the fool of a Minster looked to him for contribution to the Ministry. In fact, Lucius was willing to bet the Fudge would bend over backwards multiple times to do what Lucius wanted done. Such a fool, Lucius thought with amusement.
"My wife and I were looking at family records when we discovered something very odd, but enough of that. The reason we wanted to see you was about custody of a child." Lucius said, his voice cool and unimpressed with anything.
"A child?" Fudge asked confused, but equally interested.
"Yes, you are one of those privileged with the knowledge that Narcissa can no longer bare child after our precious son," Fudge nodded, almost eagerly, "We have discussed this issue and decided that Draco needs a brother, a playmate."
"Any child you want is yours." Fudge declared instantly. "Why don't we move to my office to discuss this further?" Lucius nodded.
"Narcissa, it has been a trying day for you, take Draco home and rest." Lucius gently commanded his wife, though she knew it really was only a suggestion.
"Yes, a lovely idea." She nodded. Lucius kissed her cheek and touched his hand to Draco's sleeping form. Narcissa walked to the entrance and into a Minstry limo that was ready to take her home.
In Fudge's office Lucius took a seat in the fine leather chairs set off to the side, almost a separate room like area.
"Which child are you thinking off?" Fudge asked, still eager.
"Well, Narcissa and I discussed this heavily and decided there's only one option." Lucius almost smirked at the anticipation on the idiots face. "I know there's been public outcry over the fact that Harry Potter was sent to live with his muggle relatives." Fudge frowned, but nodded. "We are willing to provide Harry Potter with a safe, Wizarding home to grow up in."
"Harry Potter?" Fudge choked.
"Yes, It is quite safe. You-know-who is no longer around and we can't have him thinking he's a muggle." Lucius said the word as if it was the worst word to be spoken ever. "And to get around Dumbledore, Narcissa is the second cousin to James Potter. Making Harry her distant cousin. Family connection for Dumbledore, Wizarding home for the public." Fudge smiled.
"I will look into it, Lucius, but don't except anything." Fudge said. Lucius handed him several papers.
"Custody request, proof of kinship, and adoption request." Lucius said standing up. Fudge smiled.
"Now this is something to work with." Lucius nodded. "I will contact you as soon as possible.
"May I use your fireplace?" Fudge nodded and pointed to the fireplace, as if Lucius couldn't already see it. Lucius rolled his eyes but pulled out his own bag of floo powder.
Once he was home, Lucius found Narcissa in the nursery rocking Draco in the rocking chair and feeding him a bottle.
"So?" Narcissa asked her voice now gentle as she was only in the presence of her family.
"Fudge is looking into it. I gave him the papers, he'll contact me later." Lucius took Draco from her as he finished up the last of his milk. "Hello handsome." Draco gurgled at him and gave him a toothless grin. "Soon you will have a brother!" Draco giggled at his father, who just cradled him in his arms.
"Two powerful wizards as sons! Oh Lucius, it's a shame that Harry lost his parents so soon in life." Narcissa said
"Narcissa I think it's time to tell you a secret so well hidden only six people know the truth." Narcissa looked at Lucius confused. "James Potter wasn't Harry's father." Lucius noted his wife was shocked, "But let me start at the beginning. James, Lily, Severus, and Sirius Black are all spies for the Dark Lord."
"James, Lily, and Sirius?" Narcissa gasped.
"Lily Evans was not a mudblood. She's the Dark Lord's only daughter. James and Sirius were spies for Him, the death of James and Lily and the imprisonment of Sirius was all thanks to an auror."
"The auror that is currently missing?" Lucius nodded.
"Myself and Severus took care of him." Lucius sighed remembering the idiot who had gotten the Dark Lord vanished.
"So Lily, Sirius and James were all spying on Dumbledore?" Lucius nodded, "The missing auror killed James and Lily which you and Severus killed him in turn?"
"Correct. Now for the big thing, You know how Severus is the Dark Lord's favorite Death eater?" Narcissa nodded. "James only pretended to marry Lily so Dumbledore and his Order didn't know Lily was really married to Severus."
"What?" Narcissa was shocked. Draco began to cry, "Hush me little Dragon. There is no need to cry." Slowly he stopped crying. "Severus and Lily?" She continued.
"Yes. Thery were married, and Harry's real name is Jamieson Harold-Thomas Snape. James pretended to marry Lily and be Jamieson's father. Narcissa continued to be shocked.
"So he's not related to me, but to you!" Narcissa declared, "Through Severus who's your first cousin." Lucius nodded.
"I'm one of the few who has actually seen Severus with Lily and their son. I want custody of him so Severus has his child." Lucius explained to Narcissa.
A knock on the door interrupted them. "Yes?" Narcissa called out, the door opened quietly.
"Master, Mistress, guests have arrived, Minster Fudge, Nurse Tonkyita, and a child." A young boy of eight years said quietly, his blue eyes wide and imploring. He was the youngest child of the Malfoy Manor Head Maid and Top Butler. Lucius and Narcissa made sure he was given top notch clothing and a pre-Hogwarts education.
"I will see him in my office, William." Lucius said with a slight smile, he liked the lad, he was quite polite and loved to play with Draco.
"Yes, sir." William all but slunked out of the nursery if one could. Lucius handed Draco to Narcissa and walked quickly, but silently to his home office. Upon entering he saw Fudge who was accompanied by a witch, most likely the nurse, who held a black haired child with wide emerald green eyes.
"Lucius! All is in order. Harry Potter is in your custody, though Dumbledore is planning to fight your custody of him." Fudge declared. Lucius took the child from the nurse, little Jamieson, known to the world as Harry Potter, clung to him.
"Should my wife and I worry?" Lucius asked quietly.
"No. A council has met and given young Harry here all rights to the Malfoy family line. You and Narcissa have full custody of the boy." Lucius nodded.
"Are we allowed to change his name?" Narcissa asked coming into the room, without Draco.
"If you wish it." Fudge nodded. Lucius rolled his eyes. "What will you call him?"
"Jamieson Harold-Thomas Malfoy." Lucius declared looking down into the child's eyes.
"That is a good strong name." Fudge said joyfully. "I will draw up the papers first thing tomorrow. Well, we should be off. Might we use your floo?" Lucius sneered as the two turned to follow William to the fireplace.
That night Narcissa and Lucius invited Severus over for a fortnight. He arrived shortly after dinner. Narcissa had her hands full of a sobbing Jamieson, Draco sat on the floor watching his mother with wide eyes. Severus swooped in without a word and black robes billowing behind him. Lucius followed at a slower pace, wincing at the piercing wails from Severus' son.
Narcissa greatfully gave the child up to his father. Severus instantly wrapped his son in his arms and placed his mouth next to the baby's ear.
"Hush, Jamie, it's alright baby." Severus soothed, it still took several moments but soon the baby was taking deep breaths and was just completely limp against his Dad's shoulder.
"Finally." Narcissa sighed gratefully. Severus nodded and just stood, rocking the son he'd been separated from for almost an entire month.
"His crib is set up in your room." Lucius told Severus.
"Thank you Luce." Severus smiled greatfully.
