Harry was shocked at what he was hearing.
The man that he had been raised to hate, the man that he was meant to kill wanted to adopt him, wanted to become his father.
Harry had always wanted a family, mainly because he did not grow up with the loving family that he should have had. But immediately all negative thoughts of this went out of his mind when he realised that the real Dark Lord was in fact Dumbledore with all that he done.
He looked towards Voldemort and saw that the man was as nervous as he was confused. "But why, I was trained to kill you, why would you want to adopt me?" Harry asked.
Voldemort smiled softly. "Because I know what it is like growing up without people that care about you, growing up thinking that you are a freak as well as believing that you are nothing special. I have always wanted to have a child that I can train and make happy, if you give me the chance it would be an honour." Voldemort said, looking a bit bashful as he said this.
"I accept. You and some others have never lied to me, and no matter what the public thinks about I feel that you are a good person. Before hand I even thought through what you are doing and I agree, I think only those of pureblood and half-blood status should be allowed in the wizarding world. I would love it if you became my father." Harry said, moving to hug the man that he now considered family.
"Are you sure about this? Once this ritual is completed there is no going back, you will be my son until the day we die." Voldemort asked the boy that was clinging to him, wanting to make sure that he was okay with what he was saying.
"I am sure father, I want revenge and I want a family." Harry said, looking up at Voldemort with sincere eyes.
"Very well I will call all of the others, the ones that are closest to you. The other Death Eaters will not know of you until a later date." Voldemort said. He touched the mark that was on his left forearm and within seconds Sirius, Remus, Severus, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George were in front of them.
"Harry, what are you doing here cub?" Remus asked. He came closer to the boy to see if there was any harm to him.
"I am fine Moony. Voldemort saved me from the Dursley's, I didn't think I was going to live to see any of you again, they had beaten to within an inch of my life is what the healer said." Harry explained, he watched as the faces of all of the adults began to morph into one of hate, hate towards those who have harmed Harry.
"Did Dumbledore know of this treatment?" Sirius asked, almost scared of knowing the answer.
"Of course he did. The medical staff are meant to give him medicals of every student every year. Based on how malnourished, dehydrated and often bruised I was, it would be hard to miss. As well as this when I told him that I was being beaten up and I wanted to come live with you, he said that I needed to stop making things seem worse then they are. He knew alright." Harry said, his anger and power growing with every word he spoke.
Voldemort placed his hand over the boy's shoulder and the magic began to lesson as the boy calmed down. "He contacted me. After he found out the lies and manipulations of Dumbledore he returned home, where his uncle and cousin beat him while the aunt did nothing. He contacted me, and asked if could make Dumbledore suffer and that he regretted not living long enough to have seen the truth about me. I went immediately to get him, healed him and then brought him here." Voldemort said, stroking the boy's raven black hair.
"He wants to adopt me. Can you believe it, I'll have a father, my godfather and all of my true friends right here?" Harry exclaimed, practically bouncing in excitement.
"He wants to adopt you? And are you sure that this is hat you want Harry?" Remus asked.
"Yes Remus. I agree with him now that I have thought about it, he and I are not so different. Because of Dumbledore's lies I missed out on all of this a long time ago." Harry said.
Remus and the others all smiled. "Oh Harry we are so glad that you finally saw that you were a tool. We left as soon as we heard, I am sorry we did not find out sooner." Fred and George said together.
"You have got nothing to be sorry about. The light are the people who need to be sorry, and they will be. They all know that I am the only one who is able to defeat the Dark Lord, and now that I am on his side, they cannot win." Harry said, smirking in a way that looked similar to that of the Dark Lord.
"Well we agree with this Harry, if you are sure that this is what you want?" Sirius said, earning him a bright smile from Harry.
"Thank you Sirius and the rest of you. But there is something that I want to ask." Harry said, he was a bit shy about this.
"What is it?" Everyone said together.
"What would you all say if I told you all that I am gay and am in serious love with Draco?" At this a few people smiled, some looked on in shock and one man was a mixture of both.
"Your in love with my son?" Lucius Malfoy asked. He was one of those that had rescued Harry and therefore was there, he was the only other outside of friends and family that was allowed to know Harry at this moment.
"Yes, when I turned down his friendship in first year I did it because I was influenced by Weasley and Granger that you Malfoy's were bad people and that you had a hand in my parents murder, as well as the fact that Draco would soon join his father. But at the end of first year when I came out from getting the stone, I realised that I had gained a crush on Draco. I have now finished my 4th year, so I have been in love with him for 3 years." Harry said, turning an interesting shade of red.
"Well why have you not told him that you are in love with him?" Lucius asked, he knew that his son was in love with Harry, he had spent the summer before Hogwarts saying how excited he was for finally going and meeting up with the boy he had a crush on. When Harry turned down his hand in friendship Draco was heartbroken, and to mask that he began to pick on the boy to cover up any hurt that he had suffered. This was the main reason why Lucius never created a marriage contract between his son and any other as he knew Draco would only ever love Harry.
"Draco had hated me since he first met me, and I don't blame him, I was horrible to him and I took the word from Weasley and Granger to heart." Harry said sadly, he knew that he may never get the chance to be with Draco but he would never date someone other than him.
"You will be surprised. I think when he is brought in after the adoption you should talk to him about it." Lucius said.
Harry looked at the man. "You mean your not upset that I am gay and am in love with your son?"
"Of course not Harry, it is destiny who you fall in love with, and if you have been in love with my son for all these years then I know that it is true and everlasting. You would be a great match to my son." Lucius said, walking over to Harry and placing his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Thank you Mr Malfoy." Harry said, showing a true and happy smile for the first time in a long time.
"Please call me Lucius." The man said, before moving to where the rest of the people had gathered.
"Harry when the adoption is done, you will change in appearance, you will look more like me. We will be able to find out your true inheritance when your 16th birthday arrives, as well as your new ones. We are gathering more forces inside the light, and if you have any ideas of people who would be willing to help then please let me know." Voldemort said.
"Well I can only think of a few, there are not many people, other than those in Slytherin that agree with what you do. There is Neville Longbottom from Gryffindor, he is a master of Herbology, Luna Lovegood from Ravenclaw, she is a seer a young one that needs training but still a seer, Lavender Brown from Gryffindor, she is a bit clumsy but very good at potions, Fleur Delacour she is from another school but stayed when she fell for Bill, she is excellent at healing magic and Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff, he is extremely loyal and always willing to lend a hand I don't know if they are dark but I will sit them down and explain things to them more later in the summer. And when I go back to Hogwarts I'll see if I can find some others." Harry said.
Everyone in the room nodded, knowing that those he mentioned would be good for the cause and that after being sat down and told what is happening they would come to their side. Also the fact that Harry would continue looking in school was pleasing to those around him.
"Well Harry, it seems that's everything for now. We shall do this ritual, get you settled in and then call the other Death Eaters. Then we can plan what we can do in the summer. How does that sound?" Voldemort asked his soon-to-be son.
Harry smiled up at the man. "It sounds wonderful, father." Harry said, earning a smile from Voldemort and the others in the room.
