A/N thank you to everyone who reviewed. I would like to say this is probably going to be a chapter that switches POV a couple of times. Be patient with me it won't happen in every chapter.

Voldemort's POV

As soon as he left the hospital he apparated to the gates of Hogwarts. He needed to speak with his potions master and his right hand man. As he suspected they were both in the dungeons enjoying a peaceful day before school started again. The two men jumped to their feet when they saw him. He waved for them to sit back down. Severus asked curiosity getting the better of him," My lord, what can I do for you?"

Voldemort motioned for them to take their seats. He said sitting in an armchair across them," Our young friend is awake." That had a curious light in both men's alight. They had been wondering about the mysterious child that had come through the veil. Severus asked," My lord, is his mind sound? One would think coming out of the veil would have damaged it."

Voldemort interlaced his fingers and rested his chin on them lost in thought. He said after a moment," From what I can tell. Yes he is sound of mind. Even if his story is a little unbelievable. The boy's name is Gray Fullbuster but... He reminds me of another child one who was supposedly killed by Dumbledore. One with killing curse green eyes."

That had Severus' attention as he knew it would. The only child that had green eyes and had been killed by Dumbledore was his best friend's son. Lily Potter's boy. Severus said getting to his feet," My lord, with your leave I will go make a paternity potion. It never hurts to be positive." Voldemort waved the man off and turned to Lucius. The man also looked thoughtful more so than normal. Lucius said leaning back in his seat," If that boy is the Potter heir then he will need a guardian. Have you decided who you want to take up that role?"

That had been Voldemort's dilemma since the boy had been asked to be released. Most of his death eaters were either to old or too young to look after a 15 year old. Voldemort said," Most of our death eaters are to old or to young to take on such a child. Many of them wouldn't be able to care for such a... Special child as this one." Lucius asked hoping he wasn't overstepping his bounds," What about you my lord? No one would question you taking in a child? It would allow him to see how things are run in this world and you could keep a closer eye on him."

Voldemort was taken aback for a moment he hadn't even considered the possibility of taking the himself. He knew while it was a good idea from a political standpoint it would not bring any amount of trust from the boy. Fullbuster wanted freedom and to explore this world. A thought hit him. :Severus was still young. He dealt with children most days out of the year.:

He went down to the lab where Severus had just started to prepare his ingredients. The man raised a questioning eyebrow at his lord waiting for him to speak. Voldemort said know how difficult it would be for the younger man to accept this," Severus I need you to do something for me. I need you to take young Fullbuster as your charge until we are sure of his lineage." While the man didn't look happy about his new assignment he gave an acknowledging nod. Voldemort knew that the younger man didn't like children but he hoped the teenager wouldn't be too much trouble.

Gray's POV

It was two days before I saw Voldemort again. The day after he had left doctors had come in and given me shots. While the injections had hurt they were nothing compared to some of the injuries I had received on missions. On the third day Voldemort finally returned. He found me practicing my magic so when he stepped in he had to force himself not to shiver. When I heard the door open I released my magic and turned to face him. He looked at me then back at the room which was a mess. There was ice everywhere from my practicing. He said turning his gaze back to me," It's time to go."

I grabbed my shirt pulling it over my head. Then I followed him out of the room and into a hallway. A strange man in all black clothes. Instinctively I moved in front of Voldemort preparing to use my magic. Voldemort sighed and placed a hand on my shoulder trying to calm me. I looked back at him over my shoulder. He said," Mr. Fullbuster this is Severus Snape. He is my potions master and a teacher at Hogwarts a school for wizards." I held out my hand and said politely," Nice to meet you sir. My name is Gray Fullbuster of the Fairy Tail guild."

The man said giving me a stern look," Nice to meet you as well. Has my lord explained the situation to you?" I turned to face the older man and asked," What situation, sir?"

Voldemort said," Mr. Fullbuster as you are yet to be of age. You need to have a guardian," I interrupted him with a confused look," Why would I need a guardian? I am a full fledged wizard and a member of a wizard's guild." Voldemort gave me a stern look and said," This is a different world. We have different rules. Anyone under the age of 17 must have a guardian to look out for them. I have chosen Severus to be yours."

I asked my anger flaring before I tramped it down," Do I not get a say in this? I'm 15 I'm not a child!" Voldemort said trying to control his own temper," He is my only available death eater that would make a proper guardian. Being with him will allow you to explore the school he works at and learn about our world. Unless you would rather spend your days with me in meetings. You wanted your freedom. The cost is you stay with Severus."

I growled angrily but gave a nod. I didn't like it but I would accept it. For now. I stared at the dark man trying to discern his expression. He reminded me of some dark guild members that I had come across a few years prior. The man didn't give off the same malice as they did. If they thought they could control me they had another thing coming. I would play along for the moment if only to buy time.

I felt Voldemort pull me close to him and it suddenly felt like I was being pushed through a tube. When it stopped I was only kept upright by Voldemort. I asked once I had caught my breath," What the hell was that?" Voldemort's lips turned up slightly in amusement as he replied," Apparation. One of the fastest ways for adult wizards to travel."

I said pulling away from his grip so that I stood on my own," I hate it. prefer wizard vehicles." I could feel the amusement coming from him and a pop brought my attention away from him. I saw the black haired wizard again. :what did Voldemort say his name was again? Snap... Sape... No Snape that's it.: Snape said," My lord, with your leave I will take him and show him around Hogwarts."

Voldemort nodded and was about to leave when I stopped him. I said unsurely at but as I continued I grew more confident," Sir... Thank you. I'm not the easiest person to deal with but I thank you for getting me out so quickly." I could tell by the look on his face he hadn't been expecting that. With a nod and a pop he was gone.
