Chapter Three

When Hogwarts school was closed for the summer holidays, one Severus Snape would escape to his dauntingly eerie inherited home: Snape manor. This house where the stern and sharp potions master resided alone was a far cry from the few pure bloodied left manor, such as the Notts and the Malfoys to mention one or two, but nor did he need it to be or rather want it to be. Severus knew that if his father had anyone other than a dirty half-blood to leave his very small fortune to he wouldn't of hesitated to, but as it what Severus was the last remaining Snape, they were not even any many times removed cousin on the family tree and probably never would be.

Severus Snape would have happily refuted his claim if they was someone-anyone- to claim in his place, but as they were none, due to wizard law he had no choice but to take the house. One good thing about the house, and the only good thing to Snape came into the form of the potions lab installed and paid for by his father to keep his only son venturing too far from hiss constant sneers and continuous stream of verbal abuse.

In the longs weeks, when he separated from the one place he had ever called home, he spent as much time as humanly possible in his dark and isolated haven. If he even thought of leaving his solitary the memories he had of his child hood that he thought so hard to keep locked in the deep recesses of his mind would assault him, skilled occulmens he was. Miracle worker he wasn't;

a black-haired child, hands out to his mother to be scooped into her arms and cuddled

a brute of a man wrenching the same boy out of his mothers arm and leaning over her fiercely...

the small child expectant arms being ignored by the one that matter the most...

a small child huddle in a small alcove watching his mother leaving in the middle of the night unable to take any more...

So Severus Snape never left solace unless absolutely necessary. In the summer holidays it was extremely rare for someone or something to disturb him and if they something did his dark mark was set to apparate regardless of any words set. So to say the potion master was surprised a house elf, creatures he did not own, appeared in his lab would be a under statement and as a result of this he ended up knocking over the wolfsbane he was making for the werewolf that Albus insisted on him doing. Fortunately special protection spells on his work desk and bench rid themselves of the half made potion already, the problem was it had taken 4 days to get half way through and it would take another week for a new batch to make, time he would prefer doing things that didn't help the last of the formidable marauders.

He was more than ready to curse and shout at the house elf for disturbing him but as soon as he turned around his face soften considerable at the sight of the all too familiar house elf. He quickly righted himself though at the realization that if Lucius had sent old Gilly to deliver what ever message he had for him, it would be of dire and utmost importance. He took a step forward and allowed himself to take a deep breath before taking the parchment from the out stretched hand of Gilly's. It read;

Severus,

You will, I hope understand, that I would of refrained from contacting you if I could. But I could really use your help. A friend of Draco's has arrived in the manor, he is a Adaro like me and Draco and has just begun too transform. I would not of not disturbed you, however Draco thinks rather fondly of this person and my first priority is seeing he is okay. I am asking for you to come and stay at the manor for at the most 3 days to watch over the ne youngling, can you bring the potions you have available? Once again sorry for bothering you, and thank you.

Lucius Malfoy.

If Severus noticed the presumptuous manner of the letter he ignored it, and he also ignored the memories or they didn't come as he headed of of the lab and to his floo network.

As soon as Lucuis Malfoy had two feet firmly on the ground he headed in he direction of Draco's quarters, in know doubt where Draco would want Harry to sleep and who with. He heard the crack of apparition and the sound of fast and impatient foot steps behind himand was no doubt his love struck teenage soon was following closely behind him.

He entered the bed chambers to the quarter with the sleeping form of his sons object of affection floating behind him, after using a levitation spell to unburden his arms. After placing the brunette safely in the bed he watch as his son wrapped his arms protectively and a little possessively around his... what were his son and Draco Malfoy, boyfriends, lovers? He didn't know but looking at his son and Harry he saw how perfect the fitted together, like a glove. He used the muggle term with only slight disdain, a force of habit from his day to day pretence for his hatred of all things muggle. Looking at the perfect picture in real life in front of him served to remind him of his second task.

Lucuis waited in the sitting room knowing that Severus would not refuse to come. The sole reason he had sent Gilbert because he knew he would not refuse to come when faced with a close accomplice in their secret trysts before they were tore apart. Gilbert had been with the Malfoy family longer than Lucuis himself and probably his father as well. Lucuis relied on Gilbert for companionship before he had gone to Hogwarts and met Severus and after when he could no longer seek him out when loneliness took him, it only making it worse that Severus was worse of than him.

So he was sitting in the high back chair waiting for the potions master to arrive, Gilbert having arrived only 5 minutes ago, informing him that indeed Severus was on his way. Gilbert hands full of potions, Severus wouldn't dare risk with floo travel. Lucuis had thanked the elf profusely and asked him to administer the necessary potions to 'Master' Harry and to keep him informed on the situation. Although Lucuis did intend for Severus to tend to Harry, in all truth an honesty he had missed the man and seeing Harry as he was and slapped him in his face with his own mortality and he would be damned that no he had no one dictating his life he was going to live it how he wanted.

He watched as the flames in the fire place flickered to life and out stepped the man he had known since his first train ride on the Hogwarts express, something he could recall perfectly even the 3 decades later, all because of the unforgettable man in front of him. Lucuis was rose from his feet and approached Severus to greet him.

"Luc, what's wrong?" The use of the name Severus had refrained from calling him for so long, broke something in the normally stoic man and a flood gates were opened. Severus rushed forward to stop the shadow of the man he knew from falling.

Malfoy manor, 3 days later

Harry felt like he was on fire and was falling. He had not expected the transformation to feel this better no matter what he had been warned or read. He could remember what The History of all magic creatures said as it was imprinted in his mind:

History of all magical creature: pg134

Adaro

This magical creature Adaro has not be recorded at the ministry of magic for over 10 centuries. The Adaro is a dangerous type of merperson and could not live without harming the human race which is why they race is shunned today. A pure bred Adaro was very rare a thousand years ago and even more rare, some say non-existent today. The Adaro, pure bred would be easily recognizable and could not live among wizards or muggles, due to fins behind their ears, fins for feet, a spear on the top of they heads and a horn on their foreheads, and would stay under water, only venturing out to either kill, or an attempt to continue the line. The way this is done is through 2 different types of poison darts they automatically have. One dart administrates a slow and painful death that has no antidote and the second dart impregnates the one injected, male or female and would produce a half breed. Although not considered as naturally dangerous a half bred Adaro is seen as dangerous and an outcast due to its ancestors. An Adaro, half breed is not easily recognizably and can live integrating in the wizarding and muggle world alike. Two things happen when a half breed comes into their inheritance, a tattoo covering their back of an image of themselves transformed etches itself into their back, a painful process which their usually pass out from, this changes to an image of their bond mate as rather or not their mate is a Adaro or not they instantly change when bonded, and two their teeth produces a venom that can either kill or immobilise the receiver for a period of time the Adaro sees fit. A half bred only transforms when they are fighting or protecting a love on. The Adaro gene is passed on from parent to child. When the child comes into their inheritance at 17 they go through an extremely painful process and only extremely powerful wizards seem to live through and thy are no recordings of muggles or squib transformation as they had died.

So Harry really had expected it to be painful, what he didn't expect was the pain he felt when he woke up 3 days later. He had a headache, his body ached all over and there was a heavy pressing on his chest. On closer look though the pressing was actually due to a body with a mop of blonde hair.

A closer look at his surroundings and Harry realized he was in fact in Draco's bed chambers and the body pressed up against him belonged to one Draco Malfoy.

After establishing his where about's he didn't hesitate in waking the blonde boy up.

"Harry your awake!" Draco exclaimed.

"Yep" was his intelligent reply. "Hey."

"Hey." Draco Repeated and kissed his bed mate without any more preamble.

And that was how Severus Snape found them;

Blimey no wander Luc wanted to keep me out of here!

He swiftly left the two boys to their morning activities
