A/N: Hullo! There's the third chapter. I'm sorry, that it took so long to update that one, but i was being kept busy by my school-works. The next school-year's going to be my final year, you know? And I've got already night-mares because of that. But let's not talk about that. Better you read that chap and thanks again to scorpion moon goodess ... ENJOY!

And last but not least, to the reviewers:

scorpio: Well, you'll find out the next chapters if Voldemort just want to be with Harry romantically or if he just wants an heir. Going to take them a long time to realize whether's that or this way...

mini pouce: You'll find that out in this chapter.

to all the others: Yes, i find it myself cute. I'll tell you what: The story is going to have more than 40 chapters and there'll be a few surprises...

3. Chapter: Clarities?

Harry looked around confused; apparating was a strange feeling, completely different than traveling by Portkey and much more comfortable. He was still holding Voldemort's hand as he caught sight of his godfather, who was running towards him, looking quite happy.

"Harry!"

"Sirius!"

Harry disengaged from Voldemort and run into Sirius. Harry started to cry. Sirius was alive, it was true, he didn't lose him. In fact, he still couldn't believe it. His greatest hope became true.

"I'll let you alone, then; if you need me, Sirius, you know, where I am!", said Voldemort. This picture, it was just too beautiful. He was able to see, how Harry's eyes were aglow with happiness...

"Yes, mylord, thank you very much!"

Harry and Sirius talked a lot about the past and Harry slowly began to believe Sirius. But his doubts didn't vanish into thin air until Sirius showed him his thoughts about the hold-up...

+Sirius's memory

"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off-" (1)

Harry had heard that sentence before, it was in his third school year. At that time, he assume, that HIM was Voldemort, now he saw, who he really had been. It was Dumbledore! Harry shook his head, this couldn't be true. Did he believe the murderer of his parents years after years?

He was able to see Dumbledore fighting with his dad and finally killing him...

Dumbledore went upstairs, towards Harry's room.

"Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry! Take me, kill me instead-", Lily insisted.

Harry wasn't able to see what exactly went on upstairs, but he did hear the last scream of his mother and saw the green light. In exactly that moment, Tom busted in with his death eaters and ran upstairs to help Lily...

"Tom, what a privilege.", said Dumbledore chilly, "but you're too late, like always."

"How could you? Give me the boy!" begged Voldemort. Dumbledore just sneered at him and run his hand lovingly over Harry's head.

"Why should I?"asked Dumbledore coldly.

Voldemort lost his temper, he started to attack Dumbledore. But Dumbledore hold off every curse (exactly in the same way like in the ministry). Harry was astounded, the jinxes came so fast that one hardly could see them. Dumbledore put down the baby and disappeard with a PLOP! .

Sirius came unscrewed from the numbness and ran upstairs to Harry. He just saw how Voldemort took the peewee out of his cradle, and then a green light and Voldemort's power was broken. Harry fell to the floor and began to cry...

+End of Sirius's memory

Harry's eyes were filled with tears. That can't be true, it can't! But why should Voldemort still want him? He nearly destroyed him. It still didn't make any sense.

"It's my fault, that he lost his power. How then could he ... " Harry sobbed and Sirius hugged him. "How could Dumbledore?"

"Harry, you're not to be blamed for this, it's not your fault, Dumbledore put a spell on you. Tom isn't angry with you. He really likes you.", whisperd Sirius "Now, you know the real Dumbledore. He does care about anything as long as he gets power. Not even the life of a child."

Harry carefully thought about that until something occurred to him. "But, Sirius, if Dumbledore really wanted only power, why didn't he become a Minister of Magic, when he was able to? Why did he become headmaster?"

"Harry, believe me, as a headmaster Dumbeldore has more influence than a Minister does. He can educate his students in his way and the students will follow him later. We haven't manage to break Dumbledore's power yet. At the same time, we have our best men in high posts in the ministry. For example Lucius Malfoy. Besides, as a headmaster, Dumbledore is able to exert great influence on you. If he wants to be Minister, he could at any time, because he has got more than enough votes on his side."

They talked for a long time until Harry had to go back. Voldemort had promised Harry, that he would come every night, if he wanted to... and Harry had agreed. He was very curious about what else was going on the wizarding world. Even if it wasn't the truth. There still was a little voice in Harry telling him, that it couldn't be truth.

Voldemort came every night, they talked a lot about the past. Harry was allowed to take his time with the decision... he really wasn't sure if he should do it. And Harry, to be honest, was unconcerned about that matter yet; for him it was just so unreal. After all, he was a man and a baby, he didn't know how to take care of it. He didn't have a clue, when Voldemort was going to approach him again.

"Tom (as he was asked by Voldemort to call him that), what ist going to happen? I'm told to have a baby, but I'm supposed to go to Hogwarts! Or are you going to lock me up?" asked Harry one night. He didn't mind about the baby issue, his only interest was, if he was going to return back to Hogwarts. That's because it was still his home. He really want to return at all costs.

He now trusted Tom and he had already got to know the person behind that cold mask... Now, he could even understand, why Tom became, who he was now.

"If you agree, you will conceive baby on your last day of your holiday. That way, you can go back to school without any problems. But only in the first weeks, no one is supposed to notice, otherwise, you'll have to come back to me. If an abort is impossible, it's ok. The baby will be born in nine month; Severus is going to be with you and he'll help you. But it is supposed to be born after the exams..."

"Mhmm, well, seems to be already planned. I'm glad, that I'm allowed to return to Hogwarts. It's my home..."

"I know. I never, ever would lock you up, believe me please."

"I do. But, what about my friends, they're going to hate me, if they ever knew, who the father was. I never could look in their eyes, if you ever kill someone in their family. Hermione and Dean are muggle-born..."

"Harry, I promise, I'm going to protect them all. Neither your friends or their family will ever come to harm. Except for aurors who attack me. But I'm going to order that they only should be tunted... Everyone of your friends will be protected because of the bond you're going to have with me. No death eater will ever attack them.

"Why are you doing that? I thought you hate Muggles"

"Harry, I like them not very much. I never had a nice childhood, even in Hogwarts, I wasn't treated well. 'Until I got the power. Muggle-borns are supposed to be loved so much in their childhood. Lots of purebloods are cold-hearted.

Except for Draco, Lucius really loves him. He's one of the few. And Pansy isn't treated well, because her mother treat her like mud and her father only wants her to marry well... Even as a pureblood, you don't have a good, nice life. It's safe to say, that I don't like them very much, too, but they support me and help me. As far as I can, I try to affect the families. With the Malfoys, for example, I've succeeded. And there are a few more, even if they are a little different to what I have planned to be. I just want to give an example: Fathers don't slap their sons any more. Don't look like that, in former day, it was common practice... Codswallop."

"Mh. But why then do you torture defenseless muggles? They've done nothing to you. They can't even defend themselves, if death eaters are attacking them. I've seen that on the world championship."

"Harry, I only torture them, when they earn it. Those who abuse their children or are pure evil for example. I've never threatened those families who are peaceful. I know that you don't believe me, but it's really the truth. Concerning the world championship, that wasn't death eater even though everyone believes that. My death eaters never would flee from a dark mark, even if I was powerless that time. They were men of Dumbledore!"

"I believe you, I really do. It's only hard to understand, you must believe me, please. You messed up my life in the last few weeks so much. It's really hard for me to believe, that Dumbledore really is evil like you. I mean, you're supposed to be evil."

The day of the decision

"Harry, tell me, what's your decision?", asked Tom Harry on the last night. He had left Harry all the time he may need for his considerations. Tom wasn't sure, if he even wanted to give Harry more time... He had really become fond of him. Tom became aware of the fact, that he would miss the boy.

What should he say now? Should he say yes and get a child? Should even do it, because his friends are going to be protected? And what's about Sirius? Should he do it, because he didn't want lose him any more?

Was it the right thing? Did they deceive him and tell him lies?

He wasn't sure, yet. There was still a question, the last piece of a puzzle .

Why.
