AN: Sorry I'm pushing the boundaries of the time I stated, I got a new laptop the other day and am playing about with it like mad. I want to thank everyone for the reviews that have been left, I haven't had time to reply to them all yet, but I will soon. Thanks for reading, I hope you like it and let me know what you think.

When they arrived in their living room it was to see Harry with a stethoscope in his ears listening to Tosh's heartbeat as Owen used his distraction to carry out his tests. Jack smiled at the scene in front of him, looking at Ianto he saw the same expression mirrored on his face.

Owen finished with his regular medical checks before reaching into his bag and pulling out a medical scanner that they had found a few months before in the archives under miscellaneous that Jack had identified as a medical scanner from the 45th Century.

Using the scanner he rechecked the small child before Ianto pulled out his wand and ran a few different diagnostic spells over him. Once they were finished Ianto summoned his camera from where he had left it under the bed, why it was there would not be commented on, and started to take pictures of Harry and all the bruises he had.

As soon as they were finished Jack picked Harry up, sensing Owen and Ianto's need to speak alone, motioned to Tosh to lead him to Harry's room. Once they had left the room Owen turned to Ianto, "Mate, this is bad. All the different breaks in his bones, and he's severely malnourished. Is there anything you can do for him because I as a Doctor can see nothing I can really do."

Ianto nodded, "I thought you would say that. Yes, magic should be able to fix that, but first it will need to be documented." He then walked over to the phone, picked it up and dialled a number. Before long someone at the other end picked up and a small voice spoke, "Hello, Bones residence"

"Suzy" Ianto said, "Can you get Aunty Amy for me, please? It's Uncle Ianto." A squeal could be heard down the line as the small girl called for aunt, "Aunt Amelia, Uncle Yan's on the phone"

A few minutes later Ianto began to speak again, "Hi Amelia, its Ianto, listen I need a favour. Can you come over? Yes, bring Suzy, I haven't seen her in a while anyway. Yes, I suppose it is, a sort of unofficial official type of business. Thanks Amy."

Hanging up the phone Ianto made his way over to the couch were Owen had left his bag and the medical scanner, putting the scanner in the bag he then gave it to Owen. "I don't think we should leave that out, Amelia would want to know everything about it."

Before he could say anything else Amelia Bones apparated into the room with a young girl in her arms who immediately demanded to be put down and launched herself at Ianto, "Uncle Yan"

Catching her as she threw herself at him he swung her round and dumped her onto the couch. "Suzy, this is Owen, okay. Owen will you watch her just now, Suzy behave and watch cartoons okay sweetie."

He motioned for Amelia to follow him and he made his way to Harry's room, when they got there it was to see Jack sat on the beanbag a crying child in his lap. Ianto shot a questioning look to Tosh who was standing in the doorway.

"We brought him in and told him this was his room and he just broke down saying that he didn't deserve it that he's a bad boy and that he would sleep in a cupboard like he did at his aunts." Tosh told Ianto before excusing herself going back to the living room.

Ianto sighed before walking over to his lover and the little boy who was essentially their child, dropping down to his knees in front of the child he spoke, "Harry love, you are not a bad boy, okay. You deserve this room and you will never sleep in a cupboard. You are our son and we love you, okay baby."

Harry pulled away from Jack to look at Ianto before looking to Jack again as if thinking Jack would contradict what Ianto had said. It was then that Amelia got a good look at the child, realising who the small boy was she gasped, "Ianto, what's happening, please tell me you did nothing illegal."

Ianto smiled, "Of course not, Amy. Amy, this is my partner Jack Harkness, Jack this Amelia Bones, Head of the DMLE, a friend of mine from Hogwarts." Ianto then quickly filled Amelia in on all the things they had found out that day. "So what we need you to do Amelia is to document and file all the information on his injuries before I heal him."

Amelia nodded, "Of course, but first I want to know who did this to him. Albus said that he was in the best environment possible, that he was with a family who loved him under several protective wards."

Ianto sighed, "Headmaster Dumbledore says a great many things Amy. He was with Lillian's adoptive sister and her family, it was them that did this to him. As for the wards, I didn't actually check them but we can easily go and have them documented ourselves, or send in a team of goblins. The abuse had been reported by a teacher at his school, but someone obliviated the authorities involved in the case. I got the information from a police officer that was missed in the rounds, I have all her notes on the case as well as her contact information. I also have Owen's medical report, he's a muggle doctor and the diagnostic parchment from my spells."

Amelia agreed and asked for the documented evidence, Ianto gave her copies of both his and Owen's medical reports and left her with Jack and Harry so she could talk to him about his treatment at his aunts, whilst he developed the photos having remembered what other photos were on the film. There was no way that he wanted Amelia or any of the others to see the pictures of him handcuffed naked to the bed, that Jack had insisted on taking.

Amelia's conversation with Harry went rather well after Jack had convinced him that he wasn't in any trouble and that he would never have to see his aunt or uncle again. Amelia had recorded the whole conversation with a dicta-quill and would make a copy of her memories to be placed in the file. She had a few thoughts of other evidence and memories that she would need to gather to make the case as watertight as possible, especially as the way it looked Dumbledore would be facing charges.

The small group of three made their way into the living room were Owen and Susan were debating who was the evil party in Tom and Jerry, while Tosh watched from the sidelines in bemusement. They had just introduced Harry and Susan to each other when Ianto came back into the room with a three different folders, one containing the newly developed photos of Harry, one that was a copy of the PC Davies' file on Harry, both of which he gave to Amelia. The third folder he held in his hands as he sat down on the floor next to the children, looking through the folder full of letters until he came across the one he was looking for.

Dear Silv,

How are you? I hope you are well my brother. Have you heard from Eb? He seems to be ignoring my letters, any idea as to why? I am as well as I can be with this war hanging over us, James and I have decided that we are going into hiding with Harry. Dumbledore says that is all that we can do now that Voldemort has made a target of us, all Dumbledore keeps saying is that because we defied him thrice, Harry is a target. I have to keep my baby safe, Ianto, he is my life. We are going into hiding under the fidelius charm, so I will be out of contact, I know you will stay safe my brother, you always manage to get out of things unscathed.

I can't quite believe everything that has happened recently, Silv. Such war and bloodshed it seems so depraved, all it does is rip families apart, on both sides of the war. I know of so many already that have left family behind, and James and I have prepared for every eventuality, it's ridiculous I'm only twenty and I wrote my will the other day. I know however that it is necessary though, I have this feeling that James and I won't survive this war, but I'm sure my son will, so everything needs to be put in place for him.

If James and I don't live Harry is to go to Sirius or Alice, if neither are available he is to go to Remus or yourself, or as a last resort to my Ebony. He is a last resort for the same reason that Peter is not on this list, they are both rubbish with children, however Eb would make sure my baby is well loved and protected. Harry is under no circumstances to be left with Petunia (Evans) Dursley, you know how bad she is, and I have made sure that Harry will go to an orphanage rather than stepping foot in her house. Whoever takes guardianship of my child is to adopt them, and have control over his finances until he's eleven at which stage they should be gradually handed over to him until he reaches majority when everything should be signed over. I am telling you this now because I know you will not be at my will reading brother, I know that you will not be able to attend, but you should know who is charged with the care of your nephew.

Ianto made a copy of the letter and gave it to Amelia as he spoke, "I know she made arrangements to make sure Harry never set foot in that house. She was right though, about me not making it to the will reading, I missed her funeral as well, I wasn't back in the country. By the time I got back Sirius was in prison, Alice and Frank were in St. Mungos with little Neville being sent to his grandmother, and I thought that Harry was with Remus, I was going to wait until after Christmas this year to contact Remus to see Harry. Why wasn't he given to Remus, it was in her will that he was never to go to the Petunia, how did Dumbledore get away with placing Harry with her, the goblins couldn't have allowed it."

Amelia looked pensive for a few moments before she answered, "I'm not completely sure how he got round the goblins, I'll need to find out. But Remus wouldn't have been allowed custody of Harry, the minister would never have allowed the child of light or whatever he's being referred to as now to be raised by a werewolf."

While they had been talking Tosh and Jack had slipped out to the kitchen and had begun to dish up dinner before calling the group through to the dining room, Amelia and Susan having been invited to stay, there was more than enough food as Tosh had intended for what was left to be frozen for the men later in the week. Once the meal was underway the conversation was kept to topics such as health of the family, how things had been in the wizarding or muggle worlds and general conversation. As the meal drew to a close jack asked something that he had been thinking about for a while, "Tosh, did you get in touch with Gwen?"

Tosh sighed, "Yes, Jack. She was being her usual self though, trying to take over, she wanted to cut her trip short with Rhys and come back straight away." She stopped and waited until Owen after receiving the message from her had taken the children to Harry's room, ostentatiously to play. "I can see you having problems with her wanting to look after Harry. It's just a hunch I have but I can see her pulling the 'me and Rhys can provide him a stable home' card."

Jack nodded, "I thought she might try something like that, trust me it won't work. Ianto and I adopted him and we aren't giving him to anyone else."

Amelia looked up upon hearing the twist the conversation had taken and seeing the devious look on Ianto's face, "Ianto, are you planning what I think you are planning?" He looked over at her with his patented 'who me?' look and in that moment she knew she was right, "You plan to do a blood adoption."

Ianto just smirked at her, "Of course, Lillian told me that his guardian was to adopt him and I shall, whether Jack wants to do the adoption is up to him as Harry already carries his blood, but with mine running through his veins no-one else would be able to try and gain custody of him."

Amelia nodded her head in acceptance of his reasons and explained to Jack and Tosh how a blood adoption worked upon seeing their confused states. Upon hearing what the adoption entailed and how each parent had to pick to godparents each for the child, Jack stood and asked Ianto to accompany him into the other room, leaving the two women to their own devices.

Once in the privacy of their bedroom Jack spoke, "I want to do this, I may already be related to him by blood but this will make me one of his parents, which may ease some of his doubts. I do want to discuss his godparents though, I know you will pick two magical people as they will help him the most when he goes into the wizarding world, I just want to make sure your okay with my choices, Martha for godmother and the Doctor as his godfather."

Ianto smiled, "I knew you would pick them, I have no problem with that at all. The only problem I see is that he will have all of Torchwood, someone in UNIT, a Time Lord, the Head of Magical Law Enforcement and his future Head of House, as he will definitely go into Slytherin, all wrapped around his little finger."

Jack laughed, imagining the picture that Ianto painted, it was something that he could see happening very easily. They spoke for a few more minutes before returning to the living room where Amelia and Tosh were planning.
