Haden Black stared out the window of the orphanage he was in. Wool's Orphanage. The same one his father went to. Yes he knew exactly who his father was. Tom Marvolo Riddle, otherwise known as Lord Voldemort. The Light wanted a little hero. They wanted him against his own father. They should have realized that the snakes talk.
He turned his eyes towards the door as someone knocked. "Come in." His voice was light, velvety.
A scared patron walked into the room. She had every right to be. After all, a green anaconda was curled around him. He had lazily lifted his head from Haden's leg, letting out a low hiss.
"Y-You have a v-visitor Mr. Black…."
He nods. "Send them in?" He tilted his head with a small knowing smile.
She nodded hurriedly and left the room.
'I don't like the humans here young hatchling.' the Anaconda hissed lowly.
'I know Diablo, I don't like them either. But we both know I'm stuck here till Hogwarts.' Haden scratched under Diablo's chin. Diablo let out a content hiss.
They both turned their gaze back to the door as it opened and two people walked in. An older woman and a man in all black. Haden and Diablo watched them closely.
"Mr. Black, we have come to tell you about a place called Hogwarts."
"I know ma'am. The snakes tell me all about it."
Minerva swallowed a little. "The snakes."
Haden nods. "They keep me company because the other children are scared of me. This is Diablo, he stays with me."
Severas looks to Minerva, who was obviously uncomfortable with everything already shared. He looked back to the boy. "We are to escort you to Diagon Alley and help you get your supplies."
"I don't see why I need more than one escort…" There really was no point in having more than one escort.
"The boy is right Minerva, I have no idea why Dumbledor wanted both of us to come. You go back to the school, there are bound to be more children that will need to be told about the Wizarding World."
Minerva nodded, eyeing Haden again before turning and leaving. Haden watched her go. He slowly turned his gaze to the man.
Severus turned his attention to the boy. Black curly head of hair, mercury blue eyes with a red ring around them, high cheekbones but not sharp. The boy had delicate features, but his eyes showed he was not delicate, they showed he had knowledge beyond his years. He knew….He knew then that this was his Lord's son. This boy had both Tom and Bellatrix in him.
Before Severus could open his mouth, the boy spoke. "Do you follow my father, or are you truly the spy for the man that let the one you love die. He could have stopped it, he is powerful...is he not?"
Severus stared at him wide eyed. "How do you know all of that?"
"The snakes talk Professor….They're the reason I am not Harry Potter anymore. I am Haden Black, the son of Tom Marvolo Riddle and Bellatrix Black. Not the boy that Dumbledor stole and gave to the Potter's." His voice was really soft, but it called for attention, respect.
Haden stood. He came up to Severus's shoulder, the boy had to be about five feet. "We are going to Diagon, correct? I can finally be away from this place. This was my father's room, you know. They stuck me in here after the first incident."
Severus nodded, brain still trying to wrap around everything. For one that this was meant to be Harry Potter, but turned out to actually be the secret son of Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix. He rubbed his temples. "Yes, we are going to Diagon, to Gringotts first. We will apparate."
Haden nodded. He extended his arm to Diablo, who wrapped around him. Diablo was getting bigger. He wasn't the two feet baby snake he found, he's almost six feet now. Once Diablo was situated, he grabbed the professors extended arm.
Soon the horrible feeling of being stuffed through a small tube hit him. He took in a lungful of air as soon as it was over. "Hate that.."
"It is one of the fastest ways to travel Mr. Black."
"Doesn't mean I have to like it." He sighed through his nose.
"You do not." Severus nodded, then guided him to Gringotts.
When they got to the top of the stairs, Haden bowed to the guards, much to their shock. Severus even blinked at him, no one ever shows any of the goblins respect.
Once they were inside, Haden stated his reason. "They deserve all of our respect, every creature does. But Goblins protect our gold."
Severus nodded. He could tell that this boy was going to be going places. They walked to a free teller. The Goblin looked up to them.
"We would like to do an inheritance test." Severus spoke quietly.
"For Mr….?" He looked down at the boy.
"Black, Master Goblin."
The Goblin raised a surprised eyebrow. A boy with respect, something definitely hard to come by. He nodded. "I shall fetch Sharpfire." He got down and went to get said Goblin.
Haden looked around silently, taking in all the extravagant engravings in everything. They spoke of wars, warriors, losses, kings and their queens. He was going to have to pick up a book or two on wars… Who was he kidding, he was going to get books for a lot of things.
Diablo hissed gently to him when the Goblin came back with another one. Haden put his attention on them, lightly bowing in greeting. This caused both of them to blink in shock. This boy….was indeed different.
"Please follow me Professor Snape, Mr. Black." Both of them nodded and followed the Goblin. Once they got into the office, Haden was again entranced by the designs in everything.
"Every design speaks a story…" He spoke softly staring at the design in the wood. This one had a Goblin warrior riding a dragon clad in armor into battle.
"Indeed Mr. Black, you seem to be very interested in history."
"It tells stories of the past, some hate it, but it tells of what our ancestors were like…"
"Indeed, shall we get started Mr. Black."
"Yes, I apologize for getting distracted."
"Don't be, no one has been interested in our history for millennia." Sharpfire got out a bowl, a potion, a piece of parchment, and a golden knife. "Please prick your finger and distribute three drops into this bowl, which will have this potion in." As he was talking he poured the potion into the bowl.
Haden nodded and grabbed the knife, pricking his finger. He held his finger over the bowl and let the three drops of blood fall. After he licked his finger and wiped the knife on a cloth he had before putting it back on the desk.
The Goblin put the parchment into the bowl. "We need to wait for it to soak everything into its information."
Haden and Severus nodded. Haden went back to looking around at the room. He looks at each design, each story.
"You will probably end up in Ravenclaw…" Severus mused.
"You have not seen my manipulative side Professor." He looked at him. "I can use my words like my father can."
Severus hummed. "And what of your mother?"
"Mother was known for being crazy, but she had the looks while in school. I got more of her looks, so I can use my charm." He gently stroked Diablo's head. "But I also have my father's charm, truly a deadly combo."
"Everyone will assume you are Sirius Black's child."
"Let them assume, I know my heritage….well, I believe I know my heritage, but that is why we are here. To see if what I've been told is the truth, but I believe my snakes."
Severus hummed, amused. "And you might get into Slytherin with all of that."
"That is my goal, but I am neither my father or my mother, I am my own person." He looked at Severus. "And everyone will remember me for me."
Severus shivered at the cold look in the boy's eyes. Truly….he got more than his father's mind, he got the same cold eyes when upset.
Haden turned back to the Goblin when he cleared his throat. "It is done." Sharpfire removed the parchment from the potion. He handed it to Haden.

Haden stared at the parchment. His hands were shaking, his jaw locked in place, the red in his eyes slowly bleeding to take over the blue. He was pissed, no livid, no, he was enraged. His magic sparked around him. Dumbledor tried to make him a puppet!
Severus and the Goblin had to back away, neither knowing what was on the paper to upset him. But they knew they needed to back away from the obviously pissed off child.
Haden put the paper down and started to rub at his temples. "I am not my father's anger, I am not my mother's craze." He tried to take in deep breaths, he needed to calm down. Then in french "Je ne suis pas la colère de mon père, je ne suis pas la folie de ma mère." In dutch "Ik ben niet de woede van mijn vader, ik ben niet de woede van mijn moeder." In swedish "Jag är inte min fars ilska, jag är inte min mors vurm." In romanian "Nu sunt furia tatălui meu, nu sunt nebunia mamei mele." In Italian "Non sono la rabbia di mio padre, non sono la mania di mia madre." Finally in latin "Ira patris tui non sum ego non initium sed incrementum quoddam et mater est." He took in a deep breath. "I am not thy death, I am not thy light." He repeated it in each language. French "Je ne suis pas ta mort, je ne suis pas ta lumière." Dutch "Ik ben uw dood niet, ik ben uw licht niet." Swedish "Jag är inte din död, jag är inte ditt ljus." Romanian "Nu sunt moartea ta, nu sunt lumina ta." Italian "Non sono la tua morte, non sono la tua luce." Then Latin "Mortem tuam non sum ego sum lumen tuum." He took another breath, then, in Latin, said "Death follows me, thy old friend. My father's anger, my mother's craze, does not define me. (Mors me sequitur, antiquum amicum tuum. Pater in ira mea, et mater est initium sed incrementum quoddam, non definias me.)" He took one final deep breath. He is calm, he is okay. He felt Diablo lick at his cheek gently
Severus and Sharpfire watched him with wide eyes. That is...one way to calm oneself down. They slowly moved back to their seats, still watching the boy.
Haden slowly opened his eyes, back to their mercury blue. "I apologize, I didn't mean to lose my temper." He spoke softly. He looked back at them, bowing in apology. He stood back up straight and took his seat again. He looked at Severus. "I know you are curious." He motioned for him to read it.
Severus picked up the parchment. He was not prepared for his own rage.
