I'm soooooo sorry, but this chapter is mainly just a filler to get us from point A to point C. It needs to be here and I could have put it with the next chapter, but that is not how I write. I apologise if this annoys you, but I do plan to have chapter five up later today or tomorrow.

I got an awesome review that I would like to mention and answer to.

(OnepieceZoroOc: as sick as a child being touched like that is and i am thankful you didn't feel the need to put in anything graphic like some authors are unfortunately keen to do i hope you make the torture of the dursleys somewhat descriptive since well their the durselys need i say more? especially on Vernon)

I understand that not everyone can handle the graphic details of certain acts of violence, I myself, usually skip rape scenes, and always skip child rape scenes, hence why there are none in my story. I will detail the Dursley's punishments. I will probably mark those scenes also, just in case.

*****Rape Mentioned*****

** Lucius was taking the news as badly as his wife was. They were already imagining the boy staying with them and having him as a son along with Draco. He downed two glasses of Brandy before throwing his glass at the fire where it shattered. His wife walked up to him and put her arms around him, offering and taking comfort.

His broken voice asked, "Who in the fuck molests a two year old and then starts raping a child at three years old?!"**

*****END*****

The figure looked at the blonde couple with it blood red eyes. "Lucius, Narcissa, why is this affecting you so? This is Harry Potter we are talking about. He is the enemy," the figure knew the answer, knew also that it could no more harm the child than any of the other adults present, but still felt the need to know how far the Malfoys would be willing to go for the child.

Both blondes were shocked, their hearts were about ready to beat out of their chests as they thought of how to best answer their Lord and Master. They went down to their knees in front of the figure. Lucius was the first to speak, "My Lord Voldemort, we cannot stand to see such a small child being so maliciously mistreated. We also, feel that he would be an asset to our side. He would help in the fight against Dumbledore by bringing the masses to our side."

Narcissa, the whole time her husband was talking, was silent. Finally, when her husband paused, she spoke up, "My Lord, we wish to adopt Harry; to make him part of our family. You know of how once my body was cursed, I became unable to bear children. Since then, I have longed to give Draco a sibling, to give Lucius another child, but have been unable to. I even went so far as to secretly go to a muggle orphanage to see if there were any magical children or even any children that I could connect with," here she paused, her gray eyes glassy with memories. Her listeners were shocked into silence by the information that they had received.

Lord Voldemort could sense that there was more to the tale, "Go on."

Narcissa breathed a sigh of relief that he was still willing to listen, "With Harry, however, as soon as I saw him, I wanted, no, needed to protect him. I felt the same with him as I do with Draco. I didn't understand what to do about that feeling, but when Draco asked if he could have Harry for a little brother, it clicked, 'This child will be my child. He will bring more love and light to our family.' Please, Master, please allow our family to grow," tears were falling from her eyes by the time she managed to force herself to look at her Lord. Being a Black and a Malfoy, tears were not often something she allowed but, Harry was worth it.

Lucius spoke up at that, "My Lord, that is how I felt and do feel also. I wish to have that small child become my son."

Red eyes filled with a pleased gleam at that, "Perfect, those are the answers that I wanted to have. I wanted to make sure that you truly did want him as your child and not for power reasons. I also have a ritual that may help me get my body back faster that he could help with if my suspicions are correct but I have some research to do first."

Severus took the pause in his Master's speech to ask a question, "My Lord, what do we do about Dumbledore?"

"For now, we do nothing. Hopefully by the time he figures out that something is not right, Harry Potter will no longer exist. Now then, Lucius, you have some favors to call in as soon as you can. This is not a matter that can be taken slowly."

A pleased smile was on both of the Malfoys' faces, "Yes, my Lord, I will start everything right now," with that he stood up, grabbed one of the copies of Harry's injuries, headed to the floo, and threw some powder in saying, "Fudge residence!" With that, he was gone.

"I am going to go and tuck the boys in. Severus, you are welcome to stay the night if you wish. I'm sure that Lily would like having you watch over her child. Good night, my Lord," with that said, Narcissa swept from the room and headed upstairs.

*Upstairs*

In the bathroom both boys were playing in the water of the pool, small toys floating between them. Draco was having a grand time making the smaller boy laugh with his stories of how the toy witch hat and the small toy broomstick were going to have little flying witch hat babies.

Suddenly, the small boy's eyes grew questioning, "Draco," he hesitantly asked, "Where do babies come from?"

"Silly, little brother, they come from St. Mungo's obviously. That's where I came from."

"But what about babies from other countries, or babies from animals, or babies from non-magical people?"

This caused the blonde boy to pause, "Hmm, you're quite right. We'll have to ask father or mother in the morning. Come along now. I do believe that we are plenty clean."

Both boys stood up and grabbed the fluffy towels that were beside the pool. They dried off and moved toward the pajamas that were on a counter nearby. Draco immediately started putting them on only to pause when he saw that Harry wasn't putting his on.

"Harry, why aren't you putting the clothes on?"

Emerald eyes shone with uncertainty, "Freaks do not get to wear clothes to bed."

Molten silver eyes flashed with remembered anger but kept himself under control to not frighten the smaller boy. "Well then, Harry, it's a good thing that neither of us are freaks," he said with a certainty that left no room for doubt.

An adorable smile graced the smaller boy's face as he followed Draco's example of putting the soft pajamas on.

Both children headed back into the bedroom where, once again, a small problem arose when Harry did not head toward the bed but rather the closet.

"Harry, where are you going?"

"I sleep in the closet. The bed is too nice for me."

Draco swallowed and made a mental note to tell his father in the morning, "Well, maybe you used to, but I need someone to sleep in bed with me. I used to sneak into our parents' bed and sleep with them, but with you here, you can sleep with me."

"Do you really need me, Draco?" Harry asked. Draco nodded his head, "Okay, I will sleep there for you."

Draco was applauding himself in his head as Harry climbed into the bed and moved over next to Draco. "Goodnight, little brother, sweet dreams," he said placing a little kiss on ebony locks.

A small voice spoke up, "Goodnight….big brother." There was hesitation there, but still the fact that Harry had called him that so soon made Draco smile.

Unbeknownst to either boy, another blonde was smiling just outside the door. She had heard both boys entering the room from the bathroom and had cast an enhancement charm on her ears so she could hear the soft voices.

Narcissa would mention the closet part of the conversation to both her Lord and her husband. She would also make sure that both knew of Draco's wonderful handling of the situation. With those thoughts in mind she moved to her own bedroom to get ready for bed. Tomorrow would be a busy day for everyone in their growing family.

Author's notes:

Hello everyone! Please let me know if I made any mistakes or anything that doesn't make sense. Thank you for sticking with me though this. It will be slow going for a while. I need to give everyone a picture of the abuse Harry went through and how he gets through it. There will be romance, but it will be much later from now. Although the creature part will be starting up soon, finally!

Love ya,

Cassiejo
