''Petunia can we use the floo?'' Lily asked going over to where the fireplace was. Severus followed noticing plenty of photos of Dudley and a few of Rose and Lily but none of Severus with them.
''Yes, only because Vernon is not here'' She said shaking her head nervously. Lily reached up and grabbed a little round porcelain box opening it to reveal the hidden floo powder. She tossed a bit into the fireplace, which flared and glowed green.
''Dumbledore's office'' she whispered, leaning down and sticking her head in. Severus couldn't hear anything that she said after that. He waited patiently until she finished watching as Petunia entertained the child. He felt a shiver run down his spine just by the thought that perhaps this child was the heir of Voldemort. Of course, there were plenty of situations that could have caused this. Either way, Lucius was dead and Narcissa had Draco. Did that little bugger even exist in this universe? Of course, Harry Potter did not exist; Neville Longbottom was the last candidate for the chosen one. Since he never became a death eater and heard the prophecy it meant that the boy was safe for now and had a better chance at defeating the dark lord if his parents where there to help. But how on earth was he supposed to tell everyone of how he knew of the prophecy?
''Severus'' He was knocked out his thoughts as Lily called his name.
''Yes dear ?'' he asked.
''Dumbledore said to come through the floo , he wants to talk to us'' She said standing back up. ''I'll take the baby and you get Rose ?'' she gave him a weary smile before leaving over to the kitchen and taking the baby from Petunia.
''Thanks 'tunie'' Lily leaned over and gave her sisters cheek a kiss before going through the floo. Severus already had Rose who seemed to be full of questions , simply shaking with wonder as they followed Lily.
''Oh bye aunt 'tuna !'' Rose said waving before entering the floo. Severus couldn't help the edges of his lips turning slightly up.
''Why hello there ?'' Dumbledore said cheerfully as he watched the family enter into his office.
''Dumbledore…'' Lily acknowledged with a nod as she held the boy softly in her arms.
''No we don't want tea , biscuits nor lemon drops , we want an explanation'' Severus said next , Rose dusting herself off.
''Rose my dear why don't you go downstairs to the great hall , their just having breakfast , it is the weekend after all so none of your friends will have classes'' Rose gave him a smile.
''can I go Daddy ?'' she asked Severus who nodded ''Thanks Dumb-Door'' and with that she left with a wave.
''You would expect that with her larger vocabulary she would be able to pronounce my name , at times I feel she fools around'' Dumbledore chuckled and shook his head before eyeing the sleeping babe who blinked slowly trying to get use to the brightness of Dumbledore's office.
''Good morning young sir , please excuse us for your rude awakening'' The boy squirmed lightly in Lily's arms making her smile softly. Severus knew it wasn't a good sign.
''Look we just want a paternal test on him and….just what we're going to do with him'' Severus said to Dumbledore who nodded.
''If we choose the wrong turn…it may lead to another dark lord for all we know'' Lily chimed in jiggling the whimpering babe.
''I see….'' Dumbledore spoke softly ''But Voldemort may be looking for the child this very moment , it could put any family in horrible danger…''
''Unless he doesn't know about him'' Lily whispered to herself and both men looked at her confused.
''What if…Narcissa was forced into it so Voldemort didn't even know about the child , perhaps Narcissa escaped for some months or used a charm to conceal the pregnancy so nobody knew , then once she had the child she got rid of him…in the forest near where we live , but she didn't'' Dumbledore was silent. The usual twinkle in his bright blue eyes disappeared.
''But if he is a distraction ? causing an uproar in the community and while everyone else is busy….Voldemort makes his strike'' Dumbledore argued.
''All theories are possible at this point , but without proof that he is the actual child of the dark lord , innocent until proven guilty'' Severus interrupted both looking at him a bit baffled.
''That is true…I shall cast the test then !'' Dumbledore smiled taking out his wand.
''Severus you never did tell me what you did with the children'' That earned Lily a mischievous grin.
''I left them there waiting'' Lily rolled her eyes as Dumbledore spoke the charm.
'' et sanguinem familiae'' The surnames Riddle and Malfoy appeared in sparkles of light from the tip of Dumbledore's wand, earning coos of delight from the mesmerized child.
''Of course this is an old method , it doesn't specifically tell you what family member it is'' Lily nodded but looked down sadly at the small boy.
''Now what do we do with him'' Severus asked looking over at the child his wife was holding.
''That is the question , but I would suggest you house him for awhile , just until we have a meeting with order and come up with something , is that not fair ?'' The twinkle in his eyes came back.
