Chapter 1
Severus stared at Harry in shock and Harry fully expected him to give him one of those sneers reserved especially for him. Seconds passed and no sneer came.
"You adopted my son out to the Potters?" Came Severus's angry voice. "I assume he's under charms, placed by you?" Albus nodded. "Remove them. I want to see what my son is supposed to look like." Harry stood still as the concealment charms on his body were removed. "Oh Merlin!" Albus conjured a mirror so Harry could see his true form.
His hair was long and silky, black as the feathers of a raven. Two silver streaks ran down both sides, giving people an impression that he had dyed his bangs. He removed his glasses and was surprised to see that he could see perfectly without them. His eye color had changed dramatically as well. No longer were they green. One was the same shade of black as his hair, and the other was a blue so light that it looked almost silver. Both eyes had red flecks in them.
Surprisingly, once the charms were off he grew another couple of inches. He was also surprised that his entire form changed, making him look more lithe than he'd previously been. "Wow." He whispered. "You hid this from me?" Harry glared at Albus, who hung his head.
"I thought I was doing what was best for you. I didn't know that Voldemort was one of the fathers." Harry stalked over to him.
"And even if you did know. Would you have let me live with a Deatheater? Let me live with someone that could take me to Voldemort?" Albus didn't answer. "I thought so."
"Harry, i.."
"Don't. I want to know what happens now." Severus stared at Harry. "I'm not going back to the Dursleys." Albus sighed in annoyance.
"It's still the safest place for you! Voldemort." Severus cut him off with a growl.
"Tom will be told of this! He will not want to harm him again after he learns that he is his son." Albus's eyes flashed.
"You're right. It'll be worse. Voldemort will want Harry to join him!" The boy in question sat back to watch the argument.
"He's always wanted that Albus! When Tom finds out, he will want him home no doubt. But he will give the boy a choice to either become a follower or an ally. An equal, if you will. That is what all three of us agreed on before he was born."
"I will not allow Harry to become evil, Severus." Harry cut in.
"How about we ask Harry what HE wants?" The two men turned to him. Severus nodded but Albus glared. "Harry IS here you know. And he has something to say." Harry waited for a moment before continuing. "Thank you. First off, I'm starting to think that going with Professor Snape to speak with Voldemort is a good idea. At least HE'LL let me choose what I want to do, instead of speaking for me. Second off, you made a BIG mistake crossing me Albus. You let me live with the Dursleys and wouldn't let me escape from their torturing. You denied me a family because you didn't want me to go dark. You had no proof that I even would go dark. For that, I hate you."
"Harry, listen to yourself. You can't meet with your.."
"My father? I can and I will. I don't give a damn about you anymore." Severus smirked as Albus hung his head. "Professor Snape, could you take me to meet with Voldemort?"
"Yes, of course."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it. Oh, and Albus. You just lost your spy." Albus looked even sadder, if that was even possible. "Harry, I believe we need to talk? Why don't you come with me down to my chambers? We can speak privately there then floo to Malfoy Manor."
"Do you want anything to drink?" Harry toed off his shoes as he entered Snapes chambers and padded over to a couch.
"No, thank you." Snape nodded and sat across from him. "So he lied to us." Snape nodded and gently put a hand on Harry's knee. "I trusted him." Harry said bitterly. "I guess I should watch who I trust."
"Yes, you should. Harry, would you like to stay here?" Harry looked up at Snape.
"You mean live here? In the dungeons? With you?" Snape nodded. "I would love that, thank you. But what should I call you?"
"Call me Severus, or whatever you feel comfortable calling me." Harry nodded. "You know, Harry isn't your real name." Harry looked up in shock.
"It isn't?" Severus shook his head. "Then what is it?" "Lucian. Lucian Severitus Riddle." Harry smiled. "I should inform Tom of our.latest discovery. Would you like me to still call you Harry? Or would you like to be called Lucian?" Harry cocked his head in thought. "I think I would like to be called Lucian. If it's all right with you that is." Severus nodded and smiled. "Thank you." "Not a problem. I'll go write Tom and Lucius. No doubt they will want to see you." Harry nodded. "Do you want to see them tonight? Or would you rather wait until later?" "I would like to see Lucius tonight and Voldemort tomorrow? That way it'll give me a bit of time to talk with you and Lucius." Severus nodded and stood. He went into a room next to the fireplace and didn't come out for twenty or so minutes. When he did, he was carrying two letters. He took a pinch of something by the fireplace and threw it in, announcing Lucius Malfoy and Tom Riddle. He then threw the letters in and they disappeared. "That's pretty nifty." Harry commented. Severus nodded. "I told Lucius to come in an hour. That okay?" Harry nodded. "How about a game of chess?" "Sure."
