"Where am I," moaned Harry/Alex when he finally became coherent. "My head hurts and I know for a fact that I am not at home." Once he said this, he noticed the people standing around him. One was his cousin, Dudley, one was Snape, and the other two people stood in the shadows, hiding their faces.
"I see that you are finally awake," Dudley said. "I was a bit worried there Harry." Concern could be heard in Dudley's voice when he spoke.
"Yes Harry," Severus cut in. "We were all worried."
"Why would you worry about me," Harry asked Sev. "Also, why would your murderous father and sister care about me? I know at least he wants to kill me." By this time, Erin and Tom had stepped out of the shadows. When Harry said this, Tom couldn't control the tears that sprang to his eyes. Harry noticed this.
"Why are you bloody well crying, Voldemort?" Harry queried. "You know that you want me dead."
"Not anymore," Tom cried out. "Severus, show him your memories for me. I can't be in here." With that, the Dark Lord fled the room crying.
"Come here Harry," Sev said. "You, Erin, Dudley, and I are going to look at some of my memories from 17 years ago." With that, they all entered the memories via pensieve. The memories consisted of the twins' birth and subsequent kidnappings and placements into the other families. Erin, who already knew everything, still burst into tears because she had only heard the story. Harry/Alex and Dudley were shocked into silence.
"Now you know why daddy doesn't want you dead," Erin sobbed, her blue eyes shining with tears. She looks to Harry to see his emerald eyes filled with tears, too. "When dad found out where you were, he started sobbing his heart out. The thing that got him to stop was me having an anxiety attack, he was so upset.
Harry couldn't believe his ears. To find out that he was the long lost son of the Dark Lord was a shock. The strange thing was, he knew it was true.
"Erin," he started. "Would you get dad in here to take this glamour off? I want my family back." Instead of Erin going to get Tom, Sev ran out of the room. Five minutes later, Severus returned with Tom and the Malfoys in tow. When Lucius noticed Harry, he freaked.
"What is that half-blood doing in my house," he screamed. He didn't see the dangerous look on Tom's face. "Boy, you are going to die."
"Lucius," Voldemort yelled. "Sit down and shut up. I am not killing him you idiot. He is my missing son, why would I kill him?" Lucius was dumbfounded, as was Draco. When Erin noticed the blonde youth, she went and introduced herself.
"Hello there," she said. "My name is Erin. What is your name?" She thought this boy was the cutest person she had ever seen. Coincidently, Draco thought the same thing about her.
"My name is Draco," he said. "Are you the Dark Lord's daughter?"
"Yes," she said. "However, I just found out three days ago. I like it here better than with the people I lived with though." By this time, Tom had finished berating Lucius and turned back to Alex (AN: HARRY WILL BE CALLED ALEX FROM NOW ON UNLESS SAID OTHERWISE).
"Alright son," Tom told Alex. "Come here so I can remove the glamour. Finite Incantatum!" Alex's hair began to lengthen until it fell to his shoulders in black waves, and his eyes darkened to black. He looked like a younger Severus again. This is when he remembered Dudley.
"Wow," Dudley exclaimed when he saw Alex's appearance. "This look is much better than the short hair and green eyes you had." Of course, Alex agreed.
"Now, we need to discuss our plans," Tom started. "Tomorrow, we will throw a ball introducing the both of you to the Wizarding world. Draco!" Tom then bellowed, remembering the youth. "You will escort Erin to the ball and never leave her side. Understood?"
"Yes, my lord," Draco said. "I will stay with her the entire night."
"Good," Tom replied. "Now, the four of you kids need to retire for the night. Severus, Lucius, you need to stay." With that, the four kids went to their rooms for the night while the adults planned for the party.
