Chapter 3- Hadrian

The Other Harry put his right arm up and a ball appeared in his the middle of his palm. Slowly the ball grew bigger and bigger until Harry and the Death Eaters saw the electricity, that really looked like lightening, dance around his hand. There were a number of loud pops as the Death Eaters apparated out of the house.

As soon as they disappeared. The ball of lightening vanished and all was quite before the Other Harry swayed before falling to the ground.

Harry jumped to his feet and stumbled over to his Other Self. "Are you all right?" He asked in concern, before mentally slapping himself, Of course he wasn't alright, what a stupid question to ask.

The Other Harry just smiled. "I'm fine, It's just I haven't used my legs in a long time so I have to get used to walking straight again." He said with a small chuckle. "Oh." Harry said, not sure what to say.

He blinked when the Other Harry rose in the air and floated off to Harry's room. Harry opened his mouth before closing it and turned around to see his relatives, who he discovered were staring at him.

Noticing that they were no longer bound or silenced. Harry walked quickly to his room before they realized this and pounced.

Things just got a whole lot more interesting.

"So..." Harry started before trailing off. He wasn't sure what to do now that his Other Self was awake. His Other Self also kept staring at him, making him mighty uncomfortable.

"What?" Harry asked finally. The OH blinked. "Nothing... It's just you look like my son Harlem." The OH said softly. "You have a son?" Harry was surprised his OS didn't look old, maybe in his mid twenties to early thirties. When Harry voiced this the Other Harry's eyes sparkled. "Thank You. I'm actually just over eighty." He said. Harry stared at him in shock.

The other Harry chuckled at Harry's expression, before sighing softly and turned back to their pervious conversation. "Yes Harlem was my third oldest son. I actually have 10 sons and 2 daughters." He said. Harry's eyes grew large. 10 sons and 2 daughters! Sweet Merlin! That was a lot of kids.

"Would you tell me about them?" Harry asked, uncertainly. The OH's eyes lit up and he grinned. "I would be delighted to." The OH said happily. He hadn't gotten to talk about his children in a long time.

Holding out his hand, a light suddenly shot out from his palm and slowly formed an image. There floating in from of him was picture of a man who looked like he was in his mid thirties, who had shoulder length black wavy hair and dark, almost black, lavender eyes. In Harry's opinion the guy looked terrifying.

The OH smiled softly. "This is my oldest son and first child. His name is Savitar. His mothers name is Maeve. She was one of my childhood friends, and since the woman I actually loved was married to another, she gave me my first son. Savitar mostly lived with his mother and visited me every so often before going abroad and deciding that he no longer need his mother or father." The OH said with a chuckle.

The light changed again and Harry found himself looking at another boy who looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old. The boys hair was a golden blond color and his eye color was several shades of silver that mixed and swirled with each other.

The Other Harry's eyes softened. "His name is Acheron. You member the woman that was married to another?" The OH asked. Harry nodded. "Well she is his mother." Harry blink at the implications before shaking his head in amusement.

"Hey what should I call you? I mean I can't keep calling you my other self or the other me, it gets taxing after a while." Harry asked, out of the blue. His Other Self looked at him in amusement. "Call me Hadrian, that is my actual name." Hadrian said a little dryly. Harry nodded, more than a bit relieved.

"Well back on topic, Acheron doesn't like the fact that he has blond hair so he usually has it black or from what I've heard every color of the rainbow." Hadrian smiled fondly before a sad look came to his face. "Acheron lived with me for the first four years of his life before I was attacked, by my now ex-best friend, Archon, and killed. His mother was forbidden to take care of him and from there Acheron's life became very difficult. But he made it and has definitely done me proud." Harry could believe it. He saw the proof in how Hadrian's eyes twinkled with pride. Wait Hadrian had been killed? He'd have to ask him about that later.

"The rest were born in pairs." Hadrian informed him. "All of them?" Harry asked. "ALL of them. I'm still amazed by that fact and it's been what 60 years since they were born." Hadrian mused. "Oh well on with the show." He said with a little shrug.

The light shifted again. The picture of two girls popped up. One had long red hair and serious green eyes. She looked like his mum. The other had short chin length windswept black hair, and playful hazel eyes. "This red head is my oldest daughter, Lily, she was known as the Academic of my children. The second is Jamie, yes I named them after mum and dad, she was known as the Prankster and usually drove her twin insane." Hadrian said with a laugh.

The light changed again and two boys appeared. One had long black hair and green eyes. Harry was surprised he did look a lot like the boy, If his guess was correct that this was Harlem. The other had the same long hair as his twin and the same bright red hair like Lily and hazel eyes like Jamie. "The black haired one is Harlem, he earned the name as the Romantic of the Potter Spawns, the name Snape gave my children," Hadrian rolled his eyes at the last part.

"The second is Harlan, He earned the name of the Party Animal of the Potter Spawns. I'll have to show you some of the parties he's instigated." Hadrian commented. Harry nodded, he couldn't wait to see that!

Two other boys took Harlem and Harlan's place. The first had the same long golden blond hair as Archeron, and a pair of golden eyes as well. The second had dark blond hair that almost look black that reached an inch or two pass his chin and dark gold eyes that also looked black. "They are the middle twins of my younger boys, Solar and Eclipse. Solar was known as the Gentleman of the Potter Spawns and Eclipse was know as the Bad Boy." Hadrian shook his head in amusement. "Their mother's name is Sunrise. Sunrise only stuck around long enough to have them before she disappeared a little after they were born." Surprisingly enough, Hadrian didn't look mad. Harry figured that was because Hadrian loved his children and was happy that he got to raise them. Or at least the majority of them anyway.

Solar and Eclipse were replaced by the last two of Harry's children. The first had long black hair and catlike green-gold eyes. The second had.. Green hair? that looked like it was raggedly cut on the right side and hung in a pony tail of the left side and had snake like olive green eyes. "Ah, the last of the Potter Spawns, but not the youngest seeing as they were born on the exact same day at the exact same time as Solar and Eclipse. Don't ask me how I still don't know" Hadrian said, when he saw Harry's incredulous expression.

"Any way the first is Panther, he was known as the Seducer. The second is Python and was known as the Rebel, hence the green hair. I could've killed him for that stunt but what can you do?" Hadrian finished. "So what do you have to say about my little family?" Hadrian asked. Harry looked at him thoughtfully. "All of your sons have weird names" he said finally. Hadrian looked at Harry in shock before he started laughing.

"Say Harry" Hadrian said, about two hours after he and Harry had talked. Harry who was getting ready to go to bed glanced up. "Yeah?" Harry asked. "Well you see I was wondering if I could sing you a lullaby my wife and I used to sing for out children." Hadrian said quickly. Harry stared at Hadrian blankly. He couldn't recall anyone ever singing a lullaby for him. Wasn't he a bit to old for that?

Seeing the look on Harry's face Hadrian gave him an amused look. "You know just because your almost sixteen doesn't mean anything, I sang it for all of my children for the last time when Lily and Jamie were seventeen. Come on it would be a first experience for you and it would make me feel better, caring for another child." Hadrian said persuasively. Harry sighed. "Fine." he said in a defeated tone of voice. Who could beat that kind of logic? Besides he did want to know what it felt like to fall asleep with someone singing to him.

Hadrian's eyes lit up. "Wonderful! Now get in bed so I can tuck you in." Harry started at Hadrian. "You said lullaby not tucking me in too."Harry said slowly. Hadrian raised an eyebrow that clearly said so what. Harry sighed and climbed into bed that was softer because of Hadrian. Harry was quiet as Hadrian tucked him in. He had never had anyone tuck him in either, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"Now just lay there and relax." Hadrian said gently. Harry nodded.

(Baby Mine- By- Allison Krauss)

"Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heartNever to part, baby of mine.

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine.

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you.

From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine.
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you.

From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine.

Baby of mine."

Hadrian peered down at Harry and smiled when he saw the small teen was fast asleep. " Sweet dreams little one." Hadrian murmured softly as he pressed a kiss to Harry's forehead.

Hadrian stood up and vanished. There was work to be done.
