Chapter X

–Adoption–

Harry looked to young Severus as the Aurors interrogated him about what happened. The boy always said the same. He was on his bedroom when suddenly someone climbed the stairs, but when the door opened it wasn't his father but a white skinned man who limited to take him to the Potter Manor.

Officer Thames and grandfather were talking in the man's office, and although Harry couldn't hear it, he could see them moving around angrily. The talk wasn't being pretty.

"Aiden." Harry looked from Severus to the Aurors office door where Rodolphus had just appeared, the man approached, Sirius behind him, and leaned against the wall next to Harry. "What happened?"

Harry pointed to Severus.

"Severus Tobias Snape… White skinned man kidnapped him, and probably also killed his parents." He said pointedly to his friend who nodded. "And then dropped the boy at Potter Manor."

Rodolphus' eyes grew amused, but his face didn't show anything.

"I see…" was all he said.

Harry glared at Rodolphus but didn't continue because a woman appeared and was about to take Severus away.

"Hey what do you think you're doing?"

"Taking the boy to an orphanage." The woman said with a raised eyebrow as if Harry was stupid.

Harry glared at the woman and grabbed Severus' arm taking it out of the woman's hold and pulled him to the wall where he had been.

"Excuse me sir, but this boy…"

Harry kneeled before Severus.

"Do you want to go to a muggle orphanage?" the boy shook his head, the woman tried to speak but Rodolphus moved putting himself between the woman and Harry. "Do you want to live with me?" Severus opened his mouth, but Harry put his finger on the boy's lips. "I won't ever raise my hand against you like your father did."

Harry could hear the woman gasp in realization.

"And if I don't want to be adopted by you, professor?"

"The Prince Lord will be contacted… but most likely you'll be sent to a muggle orphanage."

The boy nodded in silence. Harry could see himself in that boy, the way he held himself, the way his eyes showed so much…

"I would like that professor Mather."

Harry nodded, grabbing Severus hand with one hand and the other hand put it over the boy's head.

"I, Aiden Marcus Mather, hereby claim you, Severus Tobias Snape, as my son and heir."

"So Mote It Be." Harry looked to the Officer Thames' office where his grandfather was by the door.

Harry felt the claim becoming official and stood again, knowing very well that if his grandfather had not accepted the claim he would not had claimed Severus as his name wasn't that for real.

"Uncle." He said to the man.

Charlus approached and Rodolphus bowed his head to the man, who nodded his back in acknowledgment. James and Sirius that had sat by a table approached, looking at Severus with sneers. Charlus kneeled before Severus.

"Welcome to the Potter family, Severus Thomas Mather."

Harry choked at the name, making Rodolphus send him an amused look. The social worker coughed to call attention back to her, Harry couldn't help but be reminded of Umbridge. Hell for all he knew this could be her mother.

"I'm sorry, my dear, but you can't just adopt a boy that responsibility is of the state and even if Lord Potter has accepted it, a muggleborn like you…"

"How about you think before you talk?" Rodolphus hissed at the woman who looked up at the man before her as if he was nothing. "Professor Mather is heir to the Potter family."

"I'm not heir…" Harry groaned on his place next to Severus. "I'm just cousin of Lord Potter."

Charlus Potter stood and looked to the woman.

"Lady Umbridge," Harry choked, Rodolphus having to slap him on the back to help him. "As much as you would like to send another boy to a muggle orphanage only to be abused," Harry could see the woman's eyes harden in contained anger, "but my uncle's grandson has adopted young Severus accordingly, and with my approval. So this boy is now a Potter and you have nothing more to do with him. So if you please…" and Charlus pointed to the Auror's office door.

Lady Umbridge huffed and turned leaving, making the Aurors snicker. Charlus turned to Harry.

"Your aunt is going to kill me when she'll find out." The man groaned.

Harry snickered.

"You should've warned her then." Harry turned to the three eleven boys. Severus was avoiding the other two as the other two were glaring at the first. "James! Black!" The two jumped and looked at him, half scared. "Aren't you going to welcome your cousin to the family?" Harry asked with a cold look and a raised eyebrow.

Harry could see Rodolphus smirking as the two looked at Severus and then to Harry with pleading looks. Harry put his hands on his waist.

"Welcome to the Potter family." The two said, sounding like a spoilt child who had just been denied their favourite toy. Harry coughed into his hand and the two hurried to say it with more meaning.

Harry smiled to his grandfather.

"I told you they would accept it." he said amused.

Charlus looked to the two boys who were looking wide eyes at the two.

"Yes you did…" the man conceded amused. Harry looked to Officer Thames who was approaching, not looking very happy. Charlus rolled his eyes at Harry and then turned to the man, while whispering under his breath: "Children never learn these days…"

James and Sirius started laughing and Harry coughed into his hand to hide his own laugh while Rodolphus and Severus smirked.

"Lord Potter, I thought we had just agreed…"

"You agreed with yourself that my nephew was the one who attacked the Snape's when he was with me the whole time and when we have the testimony of young Severus that it was Lord Voldemort who did it."

"We have the testimony that a white skinned man did it." Officer Thames emended.

"Severus?"

"Yes sir?"

"Can you make a description of the white skinned man?"

"White skin, red eyes cat shaped, slender fingers that look like spiders, huge fingernails, bald, no hair at all… no nose, he actually looked like a snake… no lips… black robe and… he was barefoot."

Harry looked to the boy amused at the complete description.

"Glamours." Officer Thames mumbled.

Harry sneered and grabbed his wand pulling it to his own forehead and took grey light from it, and forced it into one of the portraits on the wall and as the grey light dissolved with the portrait Voldemort started to be created. Finally the man was looking back at them with a sneer. Harry saw the Aurors raise wands and raised an eyebrow at them.

"This is just a memory." Harry turned to Severus who was looking at the memory Voldemort on the portrait. "Was it him?"

Severus nodded.

"Yes, Professor Mather."

Harry looked to his grandfather.

"Yep, that's Voldemort."

Harry noticed Rodolphus looking at the memory wide eyed. Harry leaned against the wall and Voldemort on the portrait moved closer to Harry. Harry looking to James and Sirius as the two looked scared to the portrait.

"He doesn't have a nose… why doesn't he have a nose?" one of the Aurors questioned.

"Never asked… maybe next time he'll ambush me I'll ask him." Harry said, shrugging.

The Auror blushed. Harry turned to the Head of Aurors as Officer Thames was looking to the portrait.

"If you have a problem with me, talk to me directly. Otherwise can we go?"

Officer Thames sneered, but stepped back and didn't say anything. Harry touched the painting and the memory Voldemort turned into the light again, climbing Harry's arm to his head where it disappeared.

"Cool." Harry heard James mumble.

Harry smiled and putting a hand on both James and Severus pushed them out of the office, the others at their side. Dorea Potter, his grandmother, was outside the office talking with a woman Harry recognized as Walburga and a glamoured Voldemort, making him look more human. Voldemort looked up at Harry and Harry suspected that had been how Rodolphus had found where he was. The fact that the man had brought Rodolphus along was impressive.

"Charlus, children." Dorea said when she noticed them.

Harry's eyebrow twitched.

'Child? Me?' he couldn't help but think, while avoiding the Dark Lord's look as the man smirked obviously knowing what he was thinking.

"Charlus you remember my cousin Walburga." Dorea continued. Charlus grabbed the mentioned woman's hand and kissed the back of it. "And Tom Riddle."

Charlus turned to Voldemort nodding lightly, who nodded back.

"I was talking with Walburga about the solstice rituals…" Harry tensed, grabbing Severus shoulder with more strength. "Considering that it's been decades since I last did it. And Walburga invited us to do the celebration at Black Manor."

Harry glared at Voldemort who merely smirked back.

"We don't want to intrude your ritual, Lady Walburga."

"Nonsense, Lord Charlus. You are family, I would be proud to call you to our rituals. And obviously we'll have a few pendants prepared for cousin Aiden to prepare and use on his ritual. I know a few ones that may help."

Harry bowed his head to the woman.

"I would be honoured Lady Black. But I'm afraid I was muggle taught, I would most likely misspell something that will make people think I'm badmouthing while I'm only being uneducated."

"One more reason to come, so you would learn about those things." The woman turned to the kids. "And obviously Sirius would love to have his friends with him."

Sirius tried to talk, but Rodolphus put his hand on the boy's shoulder successfully shutting him up. Harry looked to James and then to the Dark Lord.

"And will Tom be there?" he asked.

Lady Walburga choked at the imprudent way that Harry used to talk about the Dark Lord.

"Of course. Mr. Riddle is always invited to our rituals."

Harry nodded looking at the man who was looking back with an amused look in his eyes.

"Why Aiden? You seem like you want to avoid me."

"You two know each other?" Dorea asked admired.

"Tom was my mentor." Harry said looking at the man with a smirk.

Dorea and Walburga looked at Harry admired and then to the man.

"During my travels around the world, around 10 years ago, I met young Aiden living with muggles and tutored him for a few years." The man said looking back at Harry with a smirk. "It was in… 1960, right?"

"61." Harry emended.

"Oh right… It's been years… 3 years wasn't it?"

Harry looked to the man amused and decided to give him a taste of the future.

"2 May 1968, actually."

Harry could feel the eyes of Rodolphus on him, as well as the women's ones.

"Oh of course… May '68. It's been a while. And look at you now. A professor yourself and with a family."

Harry had to give it to the man, he really was a good actor. Harry turned to his grandmother.

"Well… one more reason to go I think. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about. It's been 3 years since the last time you saw each other after all." The woman said awkwardly.

Voldemort bowed his head to Dorea.

"I will be delighted to see you all at the ritual." The man said, before looking to the children. "And who may these be?"

Harry pulled the two boys behind him.

"That's my son, Sirius." Lady Walburga said pointing to the mentioned boy. "And that's James, the Potter's heir." She said beckoning James to walk forth.

James not sure how to act, considering Harry had just hidden him from view, walked just enough to be seen, but still behind Harry. Harry could see Tom's amusement in the man's eyes at his reaction.

"And who may the third boy be?"

Lady Walburga looked to the third boy confused.

"That would be my son."

Tom raised an eyebrow, looking at the boy.

"You've been busy…"

Harry crossed his arms on this chest raising an eyebrow.

"Says the man who never got married."

Voldemort looked at Harry amusedly.

–PC–

"What was that Aiden?" Rodolphus asked when they finally arrived in Aiden's bedroom at Potter Manor.

Dorea had picked Severus and had disappeared to Diagon Alley. Sirius and James were in the living room doing whatever they do and Charlus in his office working.

"What?"

Rodolphus raised an eyebrow.

"The obvious sexual tension that was going between you two… you noticed it, right?"

"There wasn't any sexual tension!" Harry said outraged, blushing deep red… "Was it?"
