Chapter 4

July 17, 1991

Jareth was sprawled on his throne, like always when there was no one to impress, thinking about his son, Harry. In two weeks, he would be turning eleven and soon after that, going to Hogwarts. He taught the young boy in a manner that would help him in the coming years, help him to overcome the monumental task that faced his young heir. He knew that the boy would not be fooled easily or taken advantaged of. Now he needed to decide if Harry should go through school with his old name, which held a lot of meaning to the wizarding world or make up a last name, since Jareth himself, didn't have one. He would discuss it with the boy, he was smart enough to make his own choices.

While it was true that Harry had been taught a lot, he still did not know about wand magic, or wizard's magic, so he didn't have too much of an advantage, but with his fae magic training, he knew more self-control and concentration techniques, which would aid him in the coming years. All and all, Jareth was immensely proud of his young son and all he had accomplished in the few short years that he had care of him. No one would be able to tell that Harry was not born Fae. He smirked, thinking about how much mischief his Harry could cause at Hogwarts.

As if his thoughts had spurred it on, a tired and bedraggled owl flew through a window, (there wasn't any glass, because the Labyrinth was made of magic, so needed no rain, the glass wasn't necessary), and landed on the arm of Jareth's throne. Jareth sighed and took the letter that the owl brought.

Prince Harry c/o King Jareth somewhere Labyrinth

Jareth smirked at the posting. The wizards would never be able to lock on a specific person or place here, since it was technically on a different plane of existence. That was why it was addressed like it was and that the poor owl looked so out of sorts. It must have had the very devil of a time trying to find either Harry or himself, gratefully handing over the letter to the first person it saw that was listed on the letter. He opened the letter to find a standard first year letter, only the post-script was different. It requested a last name. Again Jareth sighed, but he got up, showed the owl where to rest and recover from it's long trip and went to find Harry. He found him a short time later in his room, working on the last minute assignments that needed to be finished before he left the Underground.

Jareth cleared his throat and when Harry turned to him, Jareth had put his hands behind his back, hiding the letter. "Guess what has came for you, son?" he said, smirking.

Harry's eyes light up at his father's appearance in his rooms. He quickly shoved aside his homework and faced his father. He tilted his head, thinking. "Well, it could be a few different things. Birthday greetings, welcome letter from Hogwarts, or more engagement offers." He said the last part in exasperation, shaking his head. "Honestly, once people find out your a prince, they start throwing their daughters at you, whether the poor girls like it or not. Am I close?" He looks for the answer in his father's eyes.

Jareth chuckles at his son's opinions of title-hunting Fae and the things that they were willing to do for a title in the family. He holds out the letter to his son, watching as Harry grabbed it and read it quickly. Harry's face split into a huge grin, though he frowned momentarily at the p.s. at the bottom.

"Last name? I am not sure what I should do. On one hand, if I go as Potter, everyone will have a certain expectation of me that I would never be able to live up to. I will always be under scrutiny, never know if my friends are true or if they just want a piece of my fame, and everyone will have preconceived notions about me. If I go as someone else, I will be safer, out of the lime light, just another student, but then, people will wonder where Harry Potter is and could cause problems in and of it's self. As of right now I am leaning towards a different last name, just for the security and the surprise factor. I see I have until my birthday to decide, so I will make my decision then. What is your opinion, Father?" Harry finally ended his musings, since he always did this, say things out loud, so his father could help him out and he would know what Harry was thinking.

Jareth smiled at Harry. He had thought out the pro's and con's for each side and was going to take his time with this choice. "I see no faults with your reasoning or your decision to think on it more. I trust you to come up with the answer on your won, for only you will have to live with the consequences of your actions, no one else. Don't let someone else make chioces for you when they don't have to deal with the consequences, son." Jareth smiled. That was his favorite advice to give his son, because he knew that while in the Underground, Harry was protected, in the outside world, people would try to use him for his status and he wanted Harry to think for himself.

Harry nodded and smiled at Jareth. He knew that that advice would help him in many ways for the rest of his life and he was very grateful that he was being taught that.

Wow... I am so sorry. I have been gone a long, long time. I am very sorry for the wait. I know this chapter is short, but I don't have a clue for the dilemma of this chapter and really need your help.

1) Should Harry go as Potter? (( Remember that he technically isn't anymore, since he was adopted ))

2) If he doesn't, what should his last name be?

I tried to look for Jareth's last name and couldn't find anything official and I don't want to use an obvious one. I will either take the most requested or if they are even, take the one I like best and give credit where credit is due. I am hoping for some help here.

Once again, I am sorry for the delay and it might be a while again after this, because I'm moving in a short bit and I won't have unlimited access to my computer till at least February, but could be longer. This gives more time for voting. If I can, I will try to update before that, but I can never tell...

Thanks for everything, Saph
