Chapter 3: Memories
It had been three weeks since Harry had been found and he was feeling better than he had in the years he had been alive. In the time he's been in his new place of living he had met Severus, Cissy, Draco and Lucius there was another person in the house, but Severus wasn't sure if Harry should meet him just yet incase his memories were bad. Harry understood but he wanted to know why he would have bad memories of a person he hadn't met yet. Harry kept it to himself until he got frustrated that they hadn't told him more about the other memories of them that kept coming back each day.
"I have had enough, I want to know why I remember these things even though I couldn't have been more than a year old in these memories." Harry finally said with such angry that the glass that Cissa was holding shattered. Severus held up his hands in surrendered "Okay Harry I will tell you, but I don't want you to interrupt until I am done okay?" Severus said looking at Harry with a strained look like this was going to be difficult, but Harry didn't care he was tired of being left in the dark. Harry nodded his head and laid back against his pillow waiting for Severus to begin Harry maybe six, but he was never an average six-year-old he had been through to much in his life already to anything but abnormal. Severus sat down in the chair and then looked at him, clearing his throat he started to speak. "November 1st, 1979 a prophecy was read at a diner in a town called hogsmead by a soon to be professor at the wizarding school in our world. It talked about a child being born on the seventh month would kill the dark lord and he would have powers the dark lord knows not, the prophecy went on stating that those who had faced the dark lord three times and won would produce this child and that he would mark the child as his equal that neither could die in the hands of the other and that as long as one of them lived the other would survive. Now at the time everyone thought the dark lord was a man named Lord Voldemort but there is no such lord, it's a lie told by the man who really is the dark lord pretending to be part of the light side. That man's name is Albus Dumbledore…" Severus didn't get any further when Harry started to cry and said "He was supposed to protect us, why did he lie? Why did he come that night and kill them I hadn't done anything? Why? All my mom could do was beg for him to spare me, but he wouldn't listen. Then Tom Tom showed up to late, but he showed up and fought with him, but his spell missed Dumble, and hit me by accident but it was enough to knock Tom out and as well as me then I woke up on the door step of the Dursleys with no memory." Harry said between sobs at that moment Tom walked into the door looking confused at what was going on until he continued to move towards the bed and was being hugged by Harry. "I know you tried TomTom, I don't blame you." Harry said in hysterics all Tom could do was hold him and sob feeling his heart feel lighter than it has in years. "Harry oh gods I am so sorry I didn't get there faster, I had only just heard your voice scream but I was to late to save anyone." Tom said in sobs all anyone in the room could do was watch as the boy and Tom heal each other in understanding.
Harry and Tom both passed out from crying, both just laid in the bed. Severus was on cloud nine Harry remembered them, all anyone could do was watch as they slept both looked at peace. Severus and Cissa left them to rest while they got things ready for Harry's new room, well Cissa got Harry's room ready Severus finished the potions they would need for the next six months. The next couple of hours we peaceful, Tom had woken up for the need to use the loo was extreme as he was only gone a couple of minutes, he heard the screaming. "NO UNCLE, PLEASE DON'T IT HURTS I PROMISE TO BE GOOD DON'T STICK IT IN THERE PLEASE. I'LL BE GOOD, I WON'T BURN THE FOOD AGAIN PLEASE STOP." Harry screamed Tom rushed into the room and saw bottles and medical supplies flying around the room he did his best not to get hit as he tried to get to Harry. When he got to the bed Tom grabbed Harry's hand "Harry its ok, your safe he can't hurt you anymore I promise you are safe Harry please wake up." Tom said in hysterics but saw that Harry was slowing waking up, then bright emerald eyes looked up at him and Harry started to sob "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you please don't leave me I am such a freak, but I will behave I promise." Harry said heavily breathing that's what Severus heard as he ran in with Cissa and both of their hearts broke for the child. "Harry I won't ever leave you not again, and you are not a freak you are loved and wanted you are special and beautiful. Nothing those people said to you is true, you are not I repeat not a freak." Tom said through sobs as his heart broke for the boy he held. Harry started to calm down with those words and just held Tom feeling comfort once again he closed his eyes told him self "They are dead, they are dead, they can't hurt me anymore." He repeated this in his head as he looked up at Tom "Thank you, I am sorry for breaking anything I will help clean them up." Harry started to move but Cissa said no that what happened was all part of the healing process and that it was her fault for not giving him the potion to block out bad dreams. Harry sat back on the bed but could let Cissa do everything so he waved his hand around in a circle to indicate the whole room and said "Repro" at the same time the room started to repair itself back into the way it was before Harry's dream then he shrunk when he saw everyone looking at him with a shocked look. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to bad I won't do it again, I just thought I would help." Harry said pulling his legs to his chest scared he was about to be punished again the dream still fresh in his mind. Tom brushed his hand on Harry's arm "Harry we aren't mad, you just did magic without a wand that's hard to do even for older wizards." Tom explained looking at Harry with a smile at that Harry looked at Tom's eyes and saw that Tom wasn't lying, he then turned to look at Severus and saw he was smiling as well as Cissy. Harry blinked then blushed that he did something that was rare to do even older wizards, he really was a freak how could anyone love him when he could do things like that. Tom looked at Harry seeming to understand what Harry was thinking "Don't Harry you are not a freak, I said it was hard but its not freakish or bad, and how can we not love you? Harry you have been loved since you were born, your parents loved you and we love you when we lost you… we never stopped looking for you, we have wanted you back so much Harry you mean so much to us." Tom said as he hugged him and every doubt that Harry had was washed away. Harry smiled then blushed when is stomach growled "Harry what do you want for breakfast?" Cissa asked looking at Harry with a soft smile. "Can I have porridge toast and some fruit." Harry asked hoping that wasn't too much he didn't want to seem greedy. Cissa looked at Harry understanding that Harry was holding back the mental damage those vile people did caused him to believe he didn't deserve to eat. "Of course, Harry, you can eat whatever you want we need to start to get some weight on you. Your health is very bad, so we need to get you to a healthy weight so it's less likely for you to get sick." She said as she was talking, she smiled when Harry looked shocked. "Dobby." Cissa called out with a pop a small elf like creature appeared into the room "Yes mistress Cissa, What can dos for you…. Master Harry! Oh, master Harry Dobby as missed you lots." Dobby squeaked with tears running down his face Harry smiled in excitement and jumped off the bed running to the Elf. "Dobbies, I have missed you too." Harry said as he cradled the elf both crying and giggling with excitement. "What can Dobby do your Master Harry." Asked Dobby smiling at his long-lost Master whom he loved so much. "Dobby can you get me some breakfast please, its been a long while since I've eaten." Harry said with tears still in his eyes looking at his first friend as a baby. "Of course, Master Harry anything for you, Dobby wills be rights back don't goes anywheres." Dobby said firmly before popping away to get breakfast for Harry giggling Harry got up and walked over to the table that was brought in when he was ready to eat. Seeing the way Harry interacted with Dobby shocked everyone but they were more shocked to hear him giggling. Harry sat down as Dobby returned with Harry's favorite breakfast Porridge with bananas and cream wheat toast with dragon berry jam, a side of sliced apples and pumpkin juice was set at the table and all Harry could do was smile at the elf for remembering what Harry liked. Harry could only eat about half of the food because of his malnutrition his stomach couldn't handle a full meal. After he got done eating Cissa gave him his potions and then laid Harry down in the bed to sleep a while. Harry was well enough that they could go ahead and talk with the elves about James and Lily's wills as well as doing a purge of Harry's system of any bad spells or blocks and a inheritance test.
A couple of weeks later Harry and Draco were sitting at the family table when a ringing noise came from the fire place. "I wonder who, that is calling this early." Lucius said as we walked over to the mantle a voice spoke "Mr. Malfoy may I please come through I have urgent matters to discuss with you." The voice was none other than the Minister of magic looking at Harry Lucius pointed for them to hide, not having to be told twice Harry and Draco ran for the quite room as Lucius let the Minister through. "Well hello Minister what can I do…" as soon as the Minister came through so did the one and only Albus Dumbledore. "Well this is a surprise Gentlemen what can I do for you today?" Lucius said put up his mask to hide the distaste of having to look at the man who almost got his godson killed. "I am sorry to have called on you so early, Lucius but I just receive news that the family that was caring for Harry Potter, well sad to say they were found dead and your godson and well as his cousin have been found missing." The Minister said looking distraught and concerned that Voldemort was behind this. "So, after all your, babble about how Harry would be safer with this family rather than his godparents you lost not only him but is cousin?" Lucius said with malice though he knew Harry and his cousin were safe that didn't mean he wasn't still pissed about what happened with Harry. "Lucius be reasonable how could we have known that Voldemort would be able to find Harry? Though why he took his cousin as well is beyond me." The Minister said as he was saying that Severus and Tom both walked into the dining room, they had heard everything and were both angry. "Maybe had you listen to the people who knew Lily and James best, you would have know that the only way for those so called blood wards the Ministry put up only work if the people caring for Harry gave him love and made him feel at home, if at any point in time Harry didn't feel loved or feel like where he was living was home the wards would have broken." Severus said with such malice that the Minister cringed. "Now Severus be a little understanding Harry was with his mother's sister I'm sure she loved him." Said Albus giving them a smile that only made putting him in his place more glorious to bring down. "PETUNIA! YOU IDIOTS SENT HIM TO PETUNIA! Did you not listen to anything Lily said you either of you, did you dunderheads listen to a single word? Why am I asking of course you didn't why would you listen to the mother of the son you have lost? She Fucking told you under no right or reason was Harry to go to her sister. She hates anything magic, so your damn blood wards would not have worked for I can guarantee that she hated Harry like she hated Lily. How you became Minister of Magic when you are a complete fucking moron is beyond me. I will Vow this right here and right now if I find Harry and his cousin alive they will not have anything to do with you Minister and they sure and hell will have NOTHING to do with you Dumbledore, I Vow on my life and my magic that I will do everything to keep them away from the both of you." Severus said with such demand that magic swirled around him and sealing the vow. Shocked at what just happened the Minister knew that vow was unbreakable, and he couldn't afford Harry's godfather dying if Harry was found he was sure to lose any respect from the public. "Now Severus you can't be serious what if Harry is dead then we have lost all hope of defeating Voldemort." Albus said though he wasn't worried if Harry died, he could take over with ease. Just as that thought crossed his mind him and the minister were flown into the wall and held there, not know what was going on until a door to right in front of them opened did they understand the ramifications of what was said. Harry stood in the door looking anything but calm his magic was swirling around him like mad and his eyes went from Emerald Green to a solid Purple. "YOU WILL NOT GET ANYTHING FROM ME! I WILL NOT HELP YOU, I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE, AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL DO! YOU LEFT ME WITH AN ABUSIVE AUNT AND An UNCLE YOU SEXUALLY DID THINGS TO ME THAT MY INNOCENCE IS GONE! WHO EVER KILLED THEM I WOULD SHAKE THEIR HAND BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY DESERVED. MY COUSIN IS KNOWN OF YOUR CONCERN HE IS SAFE AND I WILL KEEP IT THAT WHY IF I WERE YOU. NOW GET OUT AND DO NOT RETURN, AND I MEAN IT LEAVE ME AND MY FAMILY ALONE ALL OF MY FAMILY." Harry said as he dropped them back to the ground pointed to the fire which lite and called out Ministry of Magic Ministers Office looking at the men and forced them into the fire. Once they were gone Harry collapsed onto the floor, Severus ran to Harry, but Draco got to him first hugging him. "Its okay Harry, I'm here you are safe theys can't hurt you I won'ts let them." Draco said and he cradled Harry who clung to Draco he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt his Harry not ever as he thought that both Harry's magic and Draco's swirled around them and connected together with such beauty and grace that only those watching new what had just happened. After the magic died down both boys were exhausted, they fell asleep on the floor well after becoming bonded in magic, mind, and soul most people would be drained. "I knew they were mates, but I didn't expect that so soon." Lucius said looking amused as he went over and picked up his son as Severus picked up Harry. It was time for them all to get a long nap after all the excitement.
