Chapter 3 Everything that happened
Harry was woken by his house-elf, Floppsy and she said that 'master wanted to see Harry'. So Harry got up and got dressed, he had a whole new wardrobe so he put on some tight-fitting black slacks, a white button-up and an emerald cloak witch he left open and let it swish behind him when he went to his father's study. And now you might be wondering father? And yeah that exactly what he means. You must understand that it was the end of the summer and Harry had come to Voldemort in the beginning, you see under this time, these short months Harry had been adopted by Voldemort, or Tom Riddle as ha was more known as nowadays. I see you don´t understand what I´m talking about so I will tell you, it started just that same morning Harry woke up and understood that Voldemort just maybe wanted to help.

When Harry realised this he looked towards Voldemort and asked right out
"Would you help me? I don't know what or why and…" he was interrupted by Voldemort hugging him to his chest and whispering but to Harry it was like he had yelled it
"Of course Harry I help you. I've seen how you struggle and I will say the truth to you I can't say that I didn't want to kill you then because at the time I wanted to get rid of you, but you must understand that I only wanted to get to Dumbledore, he is the one I want to kill not you it has never been you. But Dumbledore sent you in my way time over time and I couldn't do anything then try and get you out of there. I hope you will forgive me, Harry, because I never wanted to harm you or the children of our world. Why do you think I never attacked Hogwarts, everybody thought I was afraid of Dumbledore. The truth to tell I didn't, I don't want to hurt the children. They are the future and it's Dumbledore that's the real evil. He sent you out in his stead battling me; he is a master manipulator I tell you. So yes, Harry, I promised I will help you."

That's what happened that day and from that day forward both Harry and Voldemort or Tom as Harry was allowed to call him, started working together to try and get Dumbledore to fall from his position. It was about a month after Harry had started living with Tom that he came to the understanding that Tom was acting more like a father to him every day, he was so kind and he showered Harry in affection which Harry was starved after in the Dursley's care. Sometimes Harry would sneak in to Tom and lay beside him in bed just for the reassurance and the safety he felt when Tom hugged him. It took almost a half month before Tom went to Harry and asked him:
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨Flashback¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Tom was walking towards the library were he knew Harry was situated doing his school assignments. Tom took a deep breath before he opened the door and waked over to Harry, who put his book down and looked at Tom with questioning eyes.
"Harry, I …" he paused before continuing "Harry, I have thought much on our relationship and I want you to know that I love you very much. Under this short time we have come to know each other pretty well and I hope you will accept this."
He held forth a document to a puzzled Harry, wondering if this was the wrong move. Harry opened the document and in it he read, and he read again and again. After the fifth time Tom was on his way to breakdown thinking that Harry would find it disgusting or even, he didn't know how to describe it. But he looked at Harry and saw the tears, it was just before Harry lunged at him and hugged him really tight and didn't let go for a long time before he heard a muffled voice ask
"Is it true? Is it really true?"
"Yes, Harry" he answered. "I want to adopt you, becoming your father and I hope I didn´t made a mistake."
Harry let go a little bit of Tom, but stayed in his lap and felt rather content.
"No, I would be really happy. But how would we get it legal I saw you had your real name writhen and everybody knows you real name now, after I told it last year."
At that Tom burst out laughing, after some time he calmed down and told Harry that he was friends with the Minister, and have very good contacts through the Ministry of Magic, it's thanks to them that Dumbledore has yet to take over. "That's why Cornelius was so against you last year when you told him of my resurrection. So I promised he will let trough with this adoption. I was wondering if you wanted to, and this is your choice, if you could go through with a blood-adoption?"
"What's that?"
"Well, it's a potion that allows you to become my heir and son in everything, even blood. It's going to change your appearance looking a little more like me. You will still have both your parents' blood and you can continue to be Harry Potter, but you can choose to take my name if you want to."

And to tell you the truth Harry got adopted in blood. His appearance didn´t change so much, he got about an inch taller, not that it was any good he was still small. His hair got silkier and he let it grow a little more so it was more tameable, and his face lost its round compound and he got a more aristocratic look, with sculptured chinbone and his skin turned a little more pale, not overly so but it gave a small glow to his skin that made him look more fragile in others eyes, not that anyone would tell him. Even more had happened, in that short time. Tom had gone public and under veritaserum he had confessed, but also stand forth and had a good defence. The Wizingamot was there and everyone had followed the trial, but not everyone was convinced that 'Voldemort' was as good as he was saying. It was in that moment Harry stepped forward and Dumbledore grinned thinking that Voldemort's doom was coming.

'The Potter brat would get the dark lord to fall.' Dumbledore thought, but he choked on his lemondrop when he heard what Harry had to say
"I know that everybody has many thoughts on Tom and on his ways. I know he has hurt many and you all know my story, he came after me and my parents. And you might think that I most of all want to see him gone but I can assure you, I don't. You see my childhood was not the most glorious, like many of you think" at that he looked towards Snape, before continuing" my relatives, my mother's sister and her family, was afraid of magic and because of it I had to suffer. I know many of you have hard to think that the Golden Boy has gone through anything hard in my life, but before I came to Hogwarts my life was nothing else than surviving. I won't go into details, but I was on my verge of dyeing" here many of the assembled gasped and looked horrified, everyone believed him because the emotions Harry let forth when he was speaking was so raw and so real that it could not be anything but the truth" many times before I turned eleven and when I started at Hogwarts it only turned worse. You know the worst part is that I hadn't needed to go there. You all know my godfather, Sirius Black, was innocent and one man could have made the Wizingamot see reason and had a trial, but for the same reason he kept my godfather from me. He also put me with my relatives, just so he could have a pawn, so he could control me. I know I may have some influence in the Magical world and I know about my fortunes, those things are the reasons this man put me where I was. Just so he would seem like my saviour so I would trust him. And you may wonder who this man was I will tell you in the hopes that he will go to court and get what he deserves, that man was Albus Dumbledore."
As soon as Harry had said the last word everyone turned to look at said man and the aurors took the man away while he was struggling. Everyone turned to Harry and the Minister asked Harry
"The Wizingamot has yet to hear what your statement on Mr Riddle is, Mr Potter."
"Yeah, I was coming to that, but I had to explain my life first because you will then understand that when I tell you that I will speak for Mr Riddle defence, " everybody gasped" it's really simple why" Harry continued " in the beginning of the summer I had a beating from my uncle and I had had enough. So I travelled to, at the time I thought, Voldemort's hideout and I came to him in a full deatheather meeting. I begged him to kill me, "everybody gasped again and now many started to cry. To hear a boy not yet sixteen wanting to die, it's just sad "but he denied my request. He told me how he had not wanted to kill me, that Dumbledore had put me in his way time over time. That was why he sometimes tried to kill me just to get to Dumbledore but in the end he didn't want to hurt me and if you're still in denial I can assure you that he was serious when he wanted to protect me."
"And why is that, Mr Potter?" asked the Minister, a smirk flying over his features. He knew what Harry was going to say would rock the whole Wizarding World to its foundations.
"He adopted me…"

So now everything is out in the open and Harry was going to his father's study.
