Oh My God There's Two Of Them
Chapter 10
More Plans Of Action
"I have to get this to everyone who's affected in the Ministry by Dumbledore any ideas?" asked Hadrian sitting there holding a potion in his hands. It would stop all mind control potions from Dumbledore working, the old fool was more controlling than Hadrian had ever thought.
"In the coffee and water coolers" said Severus immediately knowing that the potion could be drunk with anything without any side affects.
"So it won't be rendered useless by additives?" asked Hadrian.
"No it will be fine and remain undetected" nodded Severus curtly.
"Morning Dad. Father," grinned the little boy coming out of his room looking better than he had the other day. "I'm all dry."
"What a clever boy you are" grinned Hadrian helping the little one onto the chair and began filling up his plate with food.
Harry practically radiated happiness with such a simple sentence, he wasn't used to being told positive things. He was finally beginning to believe he wasn't going back to the Dursley's.
"I've got a present for you" smiled Hadrian knowing his younger self was going to be over the moon.
"What?" asked Harry hyperly his green eyes glowing so intensely, he didn't think he had ever been so happy in his short life before.
Hadrian passed over the bag which had the presents he had bought for him in it. Harry peeked in the bag gawping at the contents, five books on different subjects for him to look at. There was also three teddies in the bag, a beautiful tiger, a panther and a black soft teddy bear. Harry touched them softly, awe clear as day on his face, stroking them softly as if he had never felt anything so soft in his life. He snuggled the panther under his arms, paying no mind to his breakfast as he cuddled it.
"It will be there when you finish your breakfast little one so why don't you eat up. After breakfast you can read your books after we get you dressed" said Severus softly.
"Yes father" grinned Harry using one hand to feed himself, the other still refused to let go of the panther. The bag was at his feet ready for when he finished his breakfast.
"I have children to teach after lunch, so anything you need to do you will need to do before then" said Severus softly.
"No problem Sev" grinned Hadrian widely. Oh he could get used to this, it was so strange, no fighting, no training, no Dumbledore; life was utterly fantastic to him. He was finally free and it was because of the man sitting opposite him, he owed him everything. He wasn't sure how serious the relationship was but he was going to give it his everything.
"Where do you teach father?" asked Harry his green eyes wide and full of curiosity.
"I teach potions to people at Hogwarts School, Harry. Somewhere you will go when you are eleven" smiled Severus.
"If Dumbledore doesn't try anything that is, if he does I will home school you" said Hadrian. He wasn't taking any chances with his younger self.
"Oh…why would Dumbledore try anything dad?" asked Harry his head cocked to the side in confusion.
Hadrian looked at Severus before a sigh left his lips, the quicker Harry learned the better. It was obvious Severus agreed with him because he nodded along with him. He wondered silently how Severus could still read him like an open book, they didn't know one another as well as his older Severus had.
"Dumbledore is a bad man, he's very sneaky and likes to make people do what he wants them to, even if it hurts them. He left you with the Dursley's knowing how you would be treated" said Hadrian softly.
Harry's green eyes sparkled a little less at that, "But you saved me and I like it here…he wouldn't force me back would he?" asked Harry very quietly.
"Yes he would if he had the chance, but I wouldn't let him…so just make sure you do not sign anything, touch or eat anything he gives you" said Hadrian adamantly trying to get it though to his younger self that Dumbledore was someone he wasn't to go near.
"I won't" promised Harry, he didn't have many rules here, and that was obviously one of them. Stay away from Dumbledore, whoever that may be. He really didn't want to go back to the Dursley's so he didn't have a problem with that.
"Good boy" smiled Hadrian kindly, he would need to compliment Harry as much as possible. Build up his confidence so he went to Hogwarts with his head held high and on firmly. When he was older he would make sure he knew just how bad Dumbledore was so he couldn't be duped. Right now It was the best he could do, he was only five and wouldn't be able to understand the things Dumbledore would or could do.
Harry grinned in contentment, finished his breakfast and asked if he could be excused. Politeness had been beaten into him, and neither Severus nor Hadrian wanted the manners to go away even if they disapproved of how they had been taught so they still asked him to ask before leaving the table. It's not like they were beating him for being disrespectful.
"You may" smiled Severus softly, Harry picked up his things and quickly went to his room. Already opening the work books, and getting to work with one of them, his little tongue poking out as he concentrated.
"He will need friends, friends who won't betray him or use him. Who would be best for that?" mused Hadrian.
"Neville Longbottom and Blaise Zabini although he no doubt doesn't like Muggleborns much he could change with a bit of help" said Severus drinking his dark strong coffee looking deep in thought.
"I suppose so…perhaps we could stop all this Muggleborn vs. Pureblood stuff" frowned Hadrian deep in thought himself.
"How do you plan on doing that?" asked Severus more amused and indulgent now.
"Voldemort is a half blood, Harry is a half blood, Dumbledore is a half blood do I really need to go on?" asked Hadrian scoffing lightly.
Severus blinked rapidly, he hadn't expected that…of course they were he knew that but had never put much thought about it much. The most powerful wizards in the wizarding world were half bloods. From what he said about Neville Longbottom, Draco Malfoy and a few others he could name they weren't very powerful.
"What good would it do knowing this information?" frowned Severus.
"Perhaps I should buy a share of the Daily Prophet, make sure I have a controlling share of it. Start letting people know, perhaps even write a book on magic; the prejudice has to end. Perhaps Voldemort will have less Death Eaters that way. Damn it I just wished Voldemort had a body and I knew where he was kill him once and for all" swore Hadrian angrily.
Severus didn't say anything to that, he knew Voldemort wasn't dead, not just because of the journal. The Dark Mark was still visible, letting him know Voldemort was weakened but far from dead. So it had come as no surprise that Voldemort came back in his journals.
"At least I know where he will be when Harry turns eleven" said Hadrian smirking slightly.
Severus noticed that Harry was referring to his younger self as someone different. He was glad for that, he didn't like the thought that he was in a relationship with Harry who was just a child down the hall right now. Severus was still trying to keep them different people in his head as it was. Calling him Hadrian of course helped, at the end of the day they were still the same person.
"Indeed" smirked Severus, Albania, then the Forbidden forest trying to get the stone with Quirrell.
"The diary needs to be dealt with too…I need to get into Malfoy Manor as soon as possible" sighed Hadrian he didn't even know where the thing was. It was an impossible mission.
"Draco is my godson so I would have no problem getting in" said Severus "That is if it is there"
"Then you can summon it, the name on the diary is Tom Marvolo Riddle, Voldemort's true name" said Hadrian.
"No problem" said Severus "I go every birthday which is coming up quite rapidly"
"Don't worry he doesn't use it until Harry's second year so take your time" said Hadrian he was quite happy to let things play out and not get too greedy trying to get everything done at once. That was Dumbledore's problem trying to get everything done at once, well he wouldn't end up like him no way no how.
"Good" sighed Severus if he showed up unannounced Lucius would no doubt be extremely cautious.
"Is there anything you need to do today before you go to Hogwarts?" asked Hadrian softly.
"No nothing I'm just going to get dressed" said Severus.
"I'll dress Harry" said Hadrian softly, getting up, he was already dressed. A habit he found hard to break, as he usually got dressed in his cupboard or dorm, his only exception was Christmas at Hogwarts. He liked opening his presents in his pyjamas then putting on Molly Weasley's jumpers.
Severus and Hadrian walked off in different directions, Hadrian got Harry ready and he was surprised when he sat back down and started drawing around the dot to dot of the letter 'O' in his workbook, it was magical and told him he did it right then asked him to do it without help.
"Come though when you're ready Harry" smiled Hadrian.
"Yes daddy" grinned Harry happily.
"Remember to brush your teeth" his daddy said as he departed the room.
