Harry had been reluctant when he first came to the manor to allow his Papa in but he had meant it at his birthday. He had always seemed to know and trust Tom from day one he was telling the truth, maybe because unlike with the headmaster he had always felt like something was being held back from him. But it took to his birthday for him to admit that while still scared he wanted to have Tom as his Papa, he wanted to have the man take care of him and be there for him. He had thought himself an orphan all this time and now he had a dad, and he had cousins and a family. Part of him really wanted to be Fabian Prewett-Riddle and he hoped by the time he returned to school even if he had to remain Harry, he would feel Fabian in his heart.

He had been told they were making all the arrangements to ensure he was safe at school. Lucius was having the school governors have Remus reinstated as DADA professor and Lucius would be taking up residence at the school for the school governors in the past did have someone actually there on campus. Tom wished he could be there at school so he could be able to keep an eye on his son but he would settle for Remus, Severus and Lucius being there as well as Draco. He just wished there were more loyal members on staff. There were a few they thought would protect Harry even against Albus, like Hagrid and Filius, but nothing beyond that.

Tom was happy when his son had been spending more and more time with him and not just in his rooms any more. Harry was still cautious about having Rodolphus or Bella around but they had kept their distance and Harry had found himself trusting their promise to continue to do so. Watching and getting to know his son in the weeks following his birthday, he knew his son was truly Gideon's little boy.

The day though arrived when Fabian had to be sent back to his relatives. They would only have him long enough to take him to the train station. Their memories had been altered so they believed Harry had been with them for the summer.

Harry clung to his dad when he knew he had to leave. "I wish I could stay. I don't know who I can trust at school anymore. My cousins aren't there and you and....."

Tom kissed his son on the head. "It is safer for you if you're at school for now. But if it becomes dangerous we'll brig you home. I promise you'll always be safe."

He touched Gideon's pendant that their son now wore and reminded his son of the spells that had been added to it. There were tracking spells on it which Remus had actually attatched to what Harry was shocked to see was a second marauders map, almost identical to the first but unfortunately only with his and Sirius' magic. They had created it shortly before Sirius died. It could show beyond the school, but only Harry beyond the school, if he wore his pendant. But the pedant was also and had always been linked to the other half, which Tom had been right, George wore around his neck. If Harry needed help he could contact George through it.

Tom handed Harry a gift. It looked like a text book but with the right spell it turned into a photo album. It was filled with photos including the wedding pictures for his dads and the few pictures of when he was a baby before he was adopted. There were other pictures of his dads and pictures of him that summer with them as well.

Tom showed Harry the picture of the two of them taken on his birthday. "I promise no matter what you'll be back here next year. I am never giving you up again."

Harry turned back into his arms. "I want to end this war soon, I want to be able to be Fabian. I want to be with you Papa."

It was the first time Harry had used the term Papa, well he had used it in sentences to refer to him but he had bee calling Tom by his first name to his face. Tom could not have asked for a more precious gift then hearing his little boy call him Papa. It broke his hear it was moments before Harry left with Severus to be taken to Surrey but when his son was gone he went to Gideon's memorial and he swore to his husband he would keep their son safe. That one day both he and Fabian would go to the actual family plot and Gideon could hopefully see his husband and son together. His son deserved it but the other Weasleys were not to be trusted.

Harry's Uncle was waiting for him and he had to remind himself their minds had been altered for the man accused him of having a lie in. Severus who had been invisible reminded Harry he needed to play along as always but he knew he could trust him and Lucius, and his new friends in Slytherin as well.

At the train station the Weasleys met him when he came through the barrier and Molly pulled him into a bear hug. "How was your summer Harry?"

Harry wondered if she knew he was her nephew but remembered what he had been told of the family. "Not bas I guess Mrs Weasley."

Ron and Hermione came with Ginny and ushered him onto the train and Harry again found himself wondering about them. Though the twins and Percy had not wanted to worry him, he had known before they finally admitted it, they were suspicious and pretty sure the three had been taking money to befriend Harry. Harry had been taught occulemency to block Albus from accessing his memories from the summer but hiding his confusion and doubts about his friends would fall to him alone. He had spent the summer thinking about thins that happened over the years, which he never thought twice about before but suddenly had begun to add up for him.

He was having too much of the false sentiment of his friends who seemed to be laying it o way too thick and needed to get out and stretch his legs. He was surprised and happy when he found the compartment where Neville and Luna were alone. He had not see Neville since the end of last year but he knew he could trust him.

Neville did not give him long to question it for he hugged Harry as the door was closed and whispered. "Gran and I are behind you and your Dad all the way."

Luna smiled and also hugged him. "Your dad let mine tell Neville and his Gran for we knew they were on your side. A little bit of support in your own house."

Though Neville may never have been the best student and he was likely not the kind of back up most would want Harry was grateful for it. Neville was a loyal and true friend and he had skill where and when it counted. And he had feeling with his doubts about the friends in the compartment he just left, he might need it. Precautions had been taken so his trunk and things could not be tampered with but it would be good to have one person in his tower he knew would watch his back for him.
