Chapter One

"WAAAAHHHH!"
"Shh, please baby, be quiet before Aunt Petunia or Uncle Vernon wake up," Harry Potter was in his room trying to muffle the cries of his 8 month old baby. "Please Jeremy, be quiet. We are going to get into trouble!"
Harry had tried everything to quiet the baby. He fed him, burped him, changed him and tried playing with him with his favorite toy, but nothing would calm the baby down.
Jeremy's cries finally started to soften, but it was already too late. Uncle Vernon was coming down the hall to Harry's bedroom.
"HARRY POTTER!" Vernon bellowed as he slammed the door against the wall, which just made Jeremy start cry louder. "You better shut that kid up before I send it to an orphanage!"
With that, Vernon slammed the door shut and went back to his room. Harry knew that his uncle wouldn't be able to take Jeremy, but the threat still scared him.
When he finally got Jeremy to calm down, he sat at his desk to compose a letter to Dumbledore. Dumbledore was one of the few people who knew about Jeremy. Only Ron, Hermione, Lupin and Snape were the only other people who knew about him. He had his own rooms at Hogwarts now, so it was easier to raise Jeremy without people knowing about him. Lupin and surprisingly, Snape, took care of Jeremy when Harry had classes. Snape had turned out to be a good friend in his time of need. Finding some parchment and a quill and ink, Harry turned back to his letter.
Dear Professor Dumbledore,
I was just wondering when me and Jeremy would be able to leave my aunt and uncle's house. I am starting to be concerned for the safety of Jeremy here. My uncle is threatening to take him to an orphanage, which I won't allow, but I am still afraid that he will do something else. Please reply whenever you have the time.
H. Potter
Harry sent the letter to Dumbledore with Hedwig. He then went over to Jeremy's crib and looked inside. He thought about how he had Jeremy and a shiver went up his back. The truth was that he didn't even know who Jeremy's other father was. He was raped by a death eater when he was captured by them and after he defeated Voldemort, he was in the hospital wing when he was told he was pregnant. He was happy that he would have his own baby, but devastated that the other father wasn't someone that he loved.
Harry went over to his bed and fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.
