Harrison's POV

He spent more than half that night reading his books. His reply to R.M. had been precisely penned and offered questions. There were well wishes for his safe return.

When the next morning came he was uncharacteristically nervous. It would be his second encounter with a godfather he never knew. One of three chosen by his birth parents to look after him.

Petunia told him that wearing robes over his regular clothes would be best. His godfather was a pureblood wizards who did not look kindly down upon regular muggle things.

From what Harrison learned he was a first generation pureblood. Given that both his parents were magical it made sense. He would respect his lineage but he wouldn't let it define him. He was still an alchemist at heart.

When they arrived at the Leaky Cauldron Lucius was waiting for them. He wore expensive looking robes and his cane was in his left hand. There was something off about the cane. Harrison just couldn't quite put his finger on it.

They exchanged quick pleasantries before they were led to the floo. Lucius gave a quick overview on how to use it before Harrison went through. Lucius would have to go through with his aunt as she was a muggle.

When he went through he found himself swirling in the green flames. Then was uncermonisly dropped into a silver and green living room. It was only sheer luck that he didn't land on his face.

When it flared green again he moved out of the way. Just in time for Lucius and his aunt to come through. Petunia looked green in the face. She had never been one for rollercoasters so the floo didn't suit her very well either.

When he tried to help her she waved him off. Lucius then led them to where a couch and two chairs were. After taking a seat on the soft sofa next to Petunia he waited. There were so many questions he wanted to ask. At the same time he didn't want to know that the man didn't want him.

It was Lucius who broke the silence, "I never expected your mother, Lily to make me godfather. We always thought it would be Sirius Black and Frank Longbottom. Or even Lupin. They all were close to your family. Despite the fact that Black betrayed them."

Harrison said confused but adamant, "My mother must have trusted you at some point. Why else would she make you my godfather."

For a moment there was stiff silence then Lucius answered his grey eyes glazed over in memory, "I knew your mother when she was in school. You see she and your aunt grew up next to a friend of mine. His name is Severus Snape and he will be your Potion's professor come September."

There was a pause before he continued, "Though Severus I became friends with Lily Evans. It was unusual given that both of us were Slytherins and your mother was a Gryffindor. There is a rivalry between the two houses. I tried to protect Severus as did Lily from James Potter your father. You won't want to hear this but to understand you need to. James Potter was a spoiled child when he entered Hogwarts. He hated Severus for his closeness to Lily. He was jealous."

Lucius was right. He didn't want to know that his father was a bully. However he wouldn't turn away from the truth.

He asked curious, "Did he ever change?"

Lucius nodded as he replied, "Yes, as he grew older I believe he did. Otherwise I do not think he would have consented to me being placed as a godfather for you. Your mother and I were close. She was one of the few real friends I had. As a Slytherin everyone wants to use you. Or you use them. Few are there that you can trust with your life. That's just how it is. She was one I considered to be a trustworthy friend. Right up until her fifth year. I was going to have her tested to see if she really was a muggleborn. I suspect she wasn't but I didn't have proof. A fight happened between the Mauraders and Severus that year. It was different from all the previous ones. He felt humiliated and when Lily tried to help him his tongue slipped. Know that he didn't mean to hurt her it was his anger that caused the words. In our world there is a word that many Slytherins use to describe muggleborns. That is Mudblood. Used because of the muggle blood that runs in their veins. Let me finish, Harrison it is almost over. When Severus tried to apologize for his words she wouldn't hear of it. That day ended their friendship and in turn mine. That was why I was surprised when you asked me abo it my godfathership over you."

There was pure honesty in the man's mercury eyes. He wasn't lying.

Lucius had been friends with his mother. A stupid mistake by another had broke the friendship. Harrison didn't blame Lucius or the man called Severus.

The door was suddenly thrown open startling them. Draco appeared in his expensive robes. The boy's eyes widened at seeing Harrison.

He greeted happily, "Harrison! Dad said you were coming today. Dad, can we go play?"

Harrison opened his mouth to argue then closed it. Then he looked at Lucius.

Lucius seemed to withhold a sigh as he replied, "Go ahead. Harrison I will speak to you in a little while. This will allow your aunt I to speak alone."

Harrison said as he stood, "Of course, sir."

Draco then led him out of the room. When he looked back at his aunt he noticed the serious look on her face. She had pulled out some papers from her purse. He was almost glad that he wouldn't be there for that. There was no way that he could control his magic when his emotions rose.
