A/N: I would like to thank Frokwears for being my first and only reviewer. ________________________________________________________________________
His son, Harry was his son, Sirius thought while looking down at him in wonder. But then James crossed his mind. He kept my son from me I'll never forgive him. Beyond keeping my son from me he didn't protect my son, his son. James refused to believe that his bitch of a wife didn't give a shit about Harry.
Sirius felt something shift inside of him and the bonds connecting him as a mate to James snapped. Sirius never thought that he would ever love Severus but hate James, but that day had come. In some ways Sirius was glad for it, James would never truly accept Sirius and Severus as mates. It had hurt Sirius so much that James had married Lily, Severus had comforted him for many nights.
Brought out of his thoughts by a small voice saying "Siri", Sirius looked down to see his son awake and staring at him. His son, he could get used to that.
"Hey little man I'm here. Guess what I just found out I'm your Daddy. You never have to go back to that place ever again." Sirius said quietly while Harry looked at him with hope shinning in his eyes.
"You need to contact Abraxas if you want to make that promise a reality." A voice spoke from behind Sirius. Sirius looked up to see Severus with wide eyes. "How could he forget about Severus? Sirius thought he should be punished and if his son wasn't lying in the bed right next to him he would have already had his butt bare and in the air.
"Master I'm sorry I deserve to be punished I….." Sirius was interrupted by Severus. "Don't be ridiculous and what did I say about calling me master in public?" Severus asked piercing Sirius with his black eyes. Harry was looking on with interest, this was so different than his other Daddy's and Lily's relationship, better in a way he didn't understand.
"To call you Sev or Severus." Sirius replied sheepishly. "Even more reason for you to punish me." Severus rolled his eyes and thought only Sirius. "Sirius stand up." Severus commanded with a sigh. As soon as Sirius stood up Severus turned him and landed two hard swats to Sirius's bottom, causing Sirius to pout.
Harry giggled, his new Daddy was so funny. Sirius smiled to Severus but than adopted a serious expression when facing Harry. Eyes going wide Harry looked so afraid. Lip quavering Harry held back his tears, he had upset his new Daddy already. Sirius was kicking himself when he saw that Harry looked so frightened. Severus gave Sirius a stern expression that clearly said fix this.
"Hey little man, there's no need to be afraid. I won't hurt you." Sirius said softly while sitting back down in the chair next to the bed. Harry looked at Sirius disbelievingly and it broke Sirius' heart. How much abused and neglect did James and Lily do to his little boy to make him already not trust anyone at the age of four?
"Are you going to spank me like Daddy does when I don't call Lily Momma like Daniel?" Harry asked trying to subtly move away from Sirius and closer to Severus but whimpered in pain in the process.
"Don't try to move sweetie, no one is going to spank you. What did your Daddy do when he spanked you and why didn't you call Lily Momma?" Severus asked while stroking Harry's hair.
"Daddy gave me twenty swats but not on bare, he say I get bare after I turn five. I no call Lily Momma because she no let me. She say I get the cane if I do." Harry said while leaning into Severus' touch.
Sirius and Severus looked at each other in horror. Severus got a glint in his eyes that was truly terrifying. Oh James would pay Severus thought, now that the mate bond was broken Severus had no qualms about ruining James's life. To give a four year old twenty swats is horrible, Severus would never give a four year old more than five swats and medium strength at the most. But the icing on the cake was that he was being punished for something that was out of his control.
"I think it's time you contacted Abraxas." Severus ground out to Sirius.
Abraxas was shocked when Sirius' head appeared in the fireplace, immediately fearing the worst when Sirius said he needed his help and was at the Hogwarts infirmary. Wasting no time Abraxas got his son Lucius and they both apparated to the gates of Hogwarts and rushed to the infirmary.
The sight they saw was something they never expected. A little boy who looked about two was lying against Severus's chest and looked exactly like a little Sirius. It was clear that this little boy was Sirius' son and was the one that was hurt.
"Explain!" Abraxas barked. Harry was startled and whimpered while burying his head further into Severus's chest. Lucius gave Sirius a meaningful look and at Sirius' nod Lucius knelt down next to the bed rubbing Harry's back gently. Harry peeked out of Severus's chest and looked questioningly at Lucius.
"Who be you?" Harry asked Lucius while cocking his head to the side. Smiling at the little boy Lucius answered, "I'm your Uncle Luc." Harry tried to move closer to Lucius but whimpered in pain.
"Little man don't try to move please." Sirius said with concern shinning in his eyes. "Okay Daddy." Harry said while closing his eyes and snuggling into Severus's chest.
Abraxas raised an eyebrow at Sirius and Sirius gulped. Motioning for Abraxas and Lucius to follow him as he walked out of the ward into the hallway.
"He's my son, I didn't even know it until today. He's Harry Potter…." Sirius was interrupted by Abraxas. "Impossible, Harry is almost five that boy can't be more than two."
"I assure you that he is Harry Potter. We caught Lily beating him with a cane. The boy was bleeding all over if we didn't get there when we did he could have died. Poppy found glamour's and charms on him. When removed he looked like me. But that's not the only thing he has a lightning bolt shaped scar." Sirius finished looking up to see Abraxas and Lucius looking truly shocked.
"He's the boy-who-lived. But what about the scar on Daniel's forehead?" Lucius asked pleading with his eyes for answers.
"There was a glamour on Harry's scar so, I'm guessing that Daniel's is a glamour as well." Sirius replied insightfully.
"My grandson will not be going back to those people. Lucius you will go to the Ministry of Magic, get papers for custody, adoption, and name change." Abraxas barked. "Yes father." Lucius replied before running out of sight. Abraxas turned back to Sirius. "We will get James to sign over custody to you with a no contact stipulation. You should change his name and have Severus adopted him to distance him from the Potter's as much as possible. He will be safer that way."
Sirius nodded then walked back into the ward. What he saw made him smile, Severus was talking quietly with Harry and Sirius could have sworn that he heard Harry call Severus Papa. Sirius' suspicions were confirmed when Severus mouth He called me Papa.
Kneeling down next to the bed Sirius knew this would be the hard part. How do you tell a four year old that he has a new name?
"Little man, Daddy was sad that he didn't get to name you. Would it be alright if I changed your name?" Sirius asked and at Harry's nod he continued. "How does Damien Abraxas Black sound?" Sirius asked while gently carding his fingers through Harry's hair.
"Me be Damien, better than Harry." Damien said while making a face like he tasted something disgusting. Sirius chuckled at Damien's reaction, it reminded him of something he would do at four years old. Noticing that Damien had his head cocked to the side and was staring passed him Sirius turned and saw Abraxas.
"Who be you?" Damien asked. Abraxas moved closer to Damien. "My name is Abraxas but you may call me Grandfather." Damien's smile was so huge that even Abraxas smiled.
Then Lucius walked back in with the necessary paperwork in one hand and holding his son Draco on his hip with the other. Lucius looked flustered as he handed Abraxas the paperwork. Draco looked around and when he started squirming and reaching for him saying "Uncle Siri". Sirius smiled at Draco and took him out of Lucius' arms.
"Hey Dragon what are you doing here?" Sirius asked but instead of Draco answering it was Lucius. "I'm sorry I had to bring him, his play date was cut short. Blaise got sick and they knew how overprotective I am of Draco." Lucius said looking apologetic.
"It's alright Luc we know how Cissy's death affected you. Now lets get down to business." Severus said as Moody came back into the ward with William Potter trailing behind him.
"Grampie!" Damien yelled excitedly. William's eyes snapped to Damien and he drew in a sharp intake of breath. He couldn't believe his eyes, he was told about the abuse, neglect, and that the child was bared by James being Sirius' but William wanted to think better of his son.
"Can I see the bruises please?" I just need to see them for myself." William said Sirius nodded to Severus and Severus tried to explain to Damien. Damien didn't quiet understand but he complied anyway. Laying against Severus's chest on his stomach as Severus lifted up his hospital gown. William gasped when he saw that most of Damien's back, buttock, and legs were covered in bruises, his eyes filling with tears.
Draco pulled on Sirius' arm until Sirius bent down. "Who he? What happen?" Draco whispered to Sirius watching as Severus lowered Damien's gown and William fell to his knees body wracked with sobs.
"He's my son, your cousin Damien. I didn't know he was my son until today. His other Daddy kept it from me. His step-mommy did that to him." Sirius replied leaving out a lot of the details.
"Down, down." Draco said while squirming in Sirius' arms. Putting Draco down Sirius watched as Draco walked over to Damien. Draco climbed onto the bed and gently hugged Damien.
"I'm Draco, Damien I protect you be safe with me." Draco said then pressed a kiss to Damien's head.
"If we're going to have James here I need Regulus to be here." Sirius said to Lucius who nodded and walked over to the floo.
Ending the floo call with Lucius Regulus immediately stepped into the floo shouting "Hogwarts infirmary". Once through Regulus went straight to Sirius and hugged him tightly.
"Big brother I'm here. Get James here now, make sure he brings Daniel with him." Regulus said to Sirius and then looked over his shoulder and talked to Moody. Moody nodded and took a hold of his medallion and whispered "Shacklebolt". When Moody heard "Shacklebolt here", Moody began.
"Bring Potter to Hogwarts infirmary make sure he has Daniel with him. Have Scrimgeour guard Lily." Moody barked and cut the connection when Shacklebolt acknowledged his assignment.
Several minutes later Shacklebolt led in James who was holding Daniel's hand. His eyes narrowed on Severus holding his son, not knowing that they discovered that Sirius was his father.
"Get away from my son!" James yelled. But that was all he got out before Regulus had him by the throat pinning him to the wall.
"You don't have the right to say anything about nephew." James visibly paled. "Yes, we know that he's Sirius' son. Take a good look at your son, see what Lilly did to him. Four year olds aren't supposed to be that small. Are you going to tell me the bruise on him appeared out of nowhere. And why the hell didn't you cast the spell to keep his butt from bruising during a spanking? I know you know the spell and you only had to cast it once its permanent as you well know. Why does my nephew have a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead that was covered by a glamour?" Regulus seethed.
James looked at Regulus with a dumbstruck expression on his face, truly not believing a word he said. No, Lily is a good mother, she loves our sons. But than almost as soon as that thought crossed his mind another popped up. Harry wasn't Lilly's son but she just wouldn't hurt any child.
"I don't believe you. Harry has always been a trouble maker, I have to spank him a few times a week. Lily told me she preformed to spell to stop bruises from a spanking forming and I believe her. Whatever he told you he was lying, come on Harry were leaving and you'll be getting a spanking once we get home." James said. Surprising everyone Sirius walked up to James and punched him in the face. James held his cheek and looked at Sirius in shock.
"Don't you dare, don't you dare call our son a liar. I saw Lily beating him with a cane with my own eyes. Your not much better giving a four year old twenty swats. You are going to sign over custody of him to me and you will have no contact with him, or I'll press neglect charges against you and you will lose everything. Lily is going to go to prison but you could still have Daniel if I don't press charges." Sirius said angrily.
"But he's my son, I don't want to give him up. Sirius I'll be with you now, I was just scared. I'll accept Severus now." James said becoming desperate. Sirius shook his head knowing it didn't matter anymore.
"It's too late James, I gave up on you. The bond is broken. For once in your life do what is right by our son." Sirius said handing the custody papers to James. With tears in his eyes he signed the papers, before collapsing in sobs.
Sirius wished it could have been different but James made his bed and now he has to lie in it. The only thing to do was to check if Daniel's scar was a glamour. With a nod Lucius walked over to Daniel and knelt in front of him. Quickly checking for glamour's and disabling any that were there, everyone gasped when Daniel's forehead no longer held the infamous lightning bolt scar.
