Chapter 11

James and Lily looked like their worst nightmares had just happened; James had just lost another child to Snape, the man he had hated forever. His little girl now looked like the man he hated more than anything in the world. Not only did he take his little girl he took his only son from him, he clearly was not thinking clearly or he would have realised that it was he who gave his son up, so him and Lily would be safe. He had wanted Harry because he needed someone to target. He wanted to punish the two of the light sides Aurors and use the kid to get them on his side.

Lily looked devastated and James looked mad. However, it was not finished yet, they were brought out of their musing by another announcement. That announcement made James loose it, he thrashed around in the chains trying to get up and kick the bastard in the face.

"We will also give Severus the money from all the Potter Vaults. They will be transferred to the Snape vaults after all he has adopted two Potters and the Potter's have been found guilty of their crimes," said the man who was enjoying the look on James Potters face.

In one swoop, he had lost his fame, fortune and his children and now his life too. It was over finally. Moreover, for once the Wizengamot did not feel bad about sending someone to Azkaban, for they knew they deserved every single bit of it.

Harry woke up to someone shaking his shoulder, telling him to get up, groaning before he remembered where he was he was up in a flash relaxing only when he felt Severus spoke in a soft tone telling him he was going to be alright, before the lawyer spoke into his ear. Severus nodded to what ever it is that he said, the man then spoke to the assistant who had just brought the potion in he was off in a rush after the lawyer had spoken to him.

He came back totally out of breath before giving the potion to Severus, Severus put it down and asked Harry in a normal voice, "Harry, now that the court knows what the Potter's done to you I was wondering if you would let me adopt you legally and magically!" asked Severus hoping he would, he had wanted Harry for ages.

"YES!" squealed Harry before anyone knew it he was jumping up and down on Severus, his arms around the man's neck. However, carefully, he did not want to hurt the baby in his soon to be dad's arms.

"Harry you need to be sure, it will hurt a lot, and you will look like me too" said Severus clearly giving the child a choice and telling him the truth straight out. The Wizengamot looked on nodding to themselves knowing that Severus would look after their saviour and a child.

"Yes I want to, do you want to be my daddy?" asked Harry cocking his head to the side in curiosity.

"Yes," said Severus just stopping himself from shouting the answer.

He had always wanted to be a dad, he was not sure that Dudley loved him like he loved his real parents. Thinking he was just grateful for taking him in not leaving him in the orphanage.

Harry looked at the potion warily he had his experience with potions and most of them were not good. Severus noticed this brought Harry to him and told him quietly, "I know you don't want to drink it if you do not want to you don't have to, I will be disappointed but I will understand, and I wont be angry with you ok!" said Severus. Severus was beginning to be a role model parent, which had just been taken from the Potter's when they went on trial.

Harry bravely took the potion, Severus got someone to take his new daughter knowing it was going to be painful for Harry, he was going to get taller that was for sure, as well as his face was going to get a lot sharper, the potion would probably fix his eye sight too. Harry could not help but scream, it was harder on him without magic, he screamed himself horse flailing about for a second before Severus had Harry in his hands holding his soon to be son in his arms stopping him from hurting himself.

Harry soon began shaking, it had hurt, hurt more than he will ever admit. He was exhausted his magic kept fighting the potion day in and day out, his magic wanted free and it wanted free soon. Moreover, Harry knew that, the potion was for magical children Harry having no magic made it hurt very, very much, Severus had not realised until he was screaming in pain why he was like that. Looking down he gulped, his son looked exactly like him.

Onyx eyes black, silky hair flowing down his back and was much taller than the small boy at the sorting was; thankfully, it could not be damaged because he had been brought up properly thanks to the Dursley's. Dudley looked only marginally like him, he looked more like his mother and had kept his dad's blue eyes and some Snape traits, but his two new children had his and his mother's eyes. Severus had gotten his onyx eyes from his mother, the person he had loved more than anyone had had in his life, he had a feeling his daughter will grow up and look more and more like his mother.

Harry fell unconscious and he heard the man say, "Come back in a few days get them registered and get their new names and new birth certificates or for the little one her certificate," said the man.

Before walking off Severus carefully took his newborn into one arm and cast a weightless charm on Harry before he carefully took Harry into his arms. Before he knew it Dumbledore took him out of the court room with a portkey, he carefully put his newborn into a crib that Dumbledore had just conjured before he settled Harry down in a smaller room on the first floor instead of taking him up to his room which had just been created for him, they were in Snape manor a place Harry had yet to be in. Dudley had already been there he liked it here; it was bigger than the mansion that his parents had bought.

Severus and Dumbledore sat and spoke for ages, about all sorts of things, mostly Harry, and new names. When the baby woke up Severus got a house elf to heat a bottle up, having gotten a bag of baby things from the hospital. That had of course been shrunk, he took the baby girl into his arms before feeding her a couple of ounces of milk before winding her till she burped, that happened till she didn't want to drink any more. When she was changed, Severus put her back into the crib sound asleep saying to Dumbledore.

"I will need to get baby things tomorrow as well as new clothes and things for Harry as well as some new clothes for Dudley he has put a bit of weight on since Harry has been gone, not a lot though", said Severus mostly to himself though.

Dumbledore nodded his head he touched Severus arm lightly telling him "I will always be here when you need me don't hesitate," he said before 'popping' he was gone, nothing to tell anyone that he had been there.

Severus realised that he should be there for his Slytherins before he realised that they were safe at school that Dumbledore would not let them go without someone to watch them, he was getting six months off. Harry who already knew magic was getting time off too. Therefore, he already knew a lot, Severus knew there was hardly any point of Harry going to Hogwarts apart for to use the library because he knew Harry had read all the books because they looked used.

He with a tired yawn got a parchment and piece of paper and began writing a letter out to his son that was not at the manor, he knew the next few months were going to be hectic but would get better.

Son,

Harry is here in the manor thought you ought to know. He is not in the best of shape but will get better, I hope, I will be off for the next six months. You have a new baby sister, biologically she is your cousin but thanks to the potion I got she is biologically and legally mine in every way, I'm not sure what I'm calling her. I will not be at the school for six months would you like to stay with your friends or come home with the family. You do not have to; you can come whenever you want though, we are only a floo call away.

Your father

He attached it to his owls leg before he told it to go to, "Hogwarts give it to my son." He said before the owl took of his eyes soaring into the sky, free again, it flew to Hogwarts getting a good use of its wings. After it gave its letter to the boy, the boy gave him some treats before it took of Dudley replied before the evening even finished.

Dad

I am staying here, look after my brother, I have a sister cool always-wanted one. Good luck dad I will be home at the weekend at the end of this month to see my new sister and my brother. I do not know magic like Harry does I did not read my books like Harry. Will they get new names? Talk soon.
