Disclaimer: I don't own anything Harry potter, I'll leave that to the awesome JK Rowling but like everyone else I wish I did. Warning if you haven't caught on yet this story is pure yaoi. I hope you like it, and please be nice about the reviews this is my first story.
Oh *face palm* Remember to vote for the Weasley twins' third partner or they will be sad and alone like me. Author starts wailing, tears streaming down her face. Forever alone I'll be.
Harry: *pat pat* "There there dear, there's someone out there for you." *Elbows Snape*
Snape: *glares and scowls* "No she is insufferable and a brat! Now can we please get on with the story? I want some Harry and Lucius time now."
Author: *wails louder* "I knew it! I'll be alone forever!" Harry holds up an umbrella as tears fall around and on him. He hisses at Snape, "See what you did."
Author: *sniffles and hiccups* "Here's (*snorts and blows nose*) the next chapter. Hope you (*wails*) LIKE IT!" *collapses into Harry's arms, tears still streaming.*
HARRY POV
Well where do I start? Ah that's right! To the beginning! Well most would say that I'm a golden boy, but I'm actually not. I'm what you would call a snake in a lion's den. Sorry I'm rambling. It all began like this...
There was a normal drive with a normal neighborhood and a normal house with a normal family. What you wouldn't know is that a special (freak they called him) boy Harry Potter also lived there. He was held as the boy-who-lived all over the magical world, said to have destroyed He-who-must-not-be-named. The Dursleys were the family he lived with you see. His Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Cousin Dudley all prided themselves on how normal they were but let me ask you this, was it normal to abuse and beat a child simple because he was different?
Bang! "BOY! GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP AND FIX US BREAKFAST!" Uncle Vernon hollered. "Yes uncle Vernon," a small, pale, green-eyed Harry responded. He climbed out from under the stairs as he had done for the last nine years he had lived at the Dursley's. He limped his way to the kitchen as he still hadn't healed from the beating Uncle Vernon had given him last night. He got to the kitchen and made a big English breakfast for the Dursleys, burning himself because Dudley, his walrus of a cousin, pushed him.
A click of the mail slot and letters flapping to the floor was heard in the kitchen. "Damnit boy!" Smack! "Can't you hear the mail? Well go get it."
"Yes Uncle Vernon," the boy replied, scurrying off to retrieve the mail.
Some would say my story started when I was born or the night my parents were murdered. I mean come on! Who leaves a baby in the cold, on a porch, to wait for someone to find him? Stupid, twinkly-eyed fucker! I always say my life started the day I got this long-ass letter that read:
Mr. H. Potter
The Cupboard Under The Stairs
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey
Being smart, the boy hid the letter in his too big sweater that was a hand-me-down from Dudley. He gave Uncle Vernon the rest of the mail and scarfed down some moldy bread and cheese. Freaks were not allowed to have good food so this was the only thing he was allowed to eat. He went back to his cupboard under the stairs to read his letter in secret.
HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Order of Merlin First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards.
(Stupid, long-ass name. Who does that?)
This letter made so much sense of all the strange, unexplainable things that happened around me, and why my relatives treated me the way they did. I didn't question it. I knew this was the truth. I also noticed how the letter is addressed to the cupboard under the stairs. (See he knew all along what my living environment was like! But of course, I was just a weapon for him.)

HARRY POV
How does one get an owl to deliver a letter? the boy sat there and thought. Oh, it clicked in his ten year old head, magic of course. He would have to wait to send his letter when his aunt Petunia wasn't paying attention. He would do it when he was doing his yard chores. . .
A few hours later:
Vernon went to work without smacking little Harry around while telling Harry "Boy no freakiness, or you will get it when I get home." Dudley went off with his gang to beat up small children and toddlers. Aunt Petunia gave him a ridiculous list of chores for an 11 year old to do, threatening punishment from Vernon if he didn't finish. Harry only mentally rolled his eyes because it did not matter if he finished and was a perfect angel, he would still get a beating from Vernon. Yet, as always he replied with a meek, "Yes, Aunt Petunia."
He completed all the chores on the list. He dusted, vacuumed, polished the silver, did the laundry, mended the holes in Dudley and Vernon's shirts and got the impossible stains out. He scrubbed the bathrooms down, cleaned all the bedrooms including Dudley's second room. He made lunch for Petunia, Dudley and his pack of friends while he was only allowed rotten banana and some leftovers he snuck from the garbage.
Later on, Petunia went to a friend's house and then went to the store. That meant yard work time because freaks were not allowed to stay in the house alone. However, Harry didn't care because this gave him a chance to send his letter to Hogwarts. He weeded the garden, mowed the lawn, trimmed the hedges and watered the plants. After he finished the yard work he stopped and looked around to see if anyone was watching, Privet drive had a lot of nosey neighbors.
He pulled out his letter from his shirt where he had hidden it. He closed his eyes and held it up calling not too loudly for the neighbors to hear, "Letter for Hogwarts!" With a screech a brown barn owl swooped and snatched the letter from young Harry's hand and flew away. Harry's eyes snapped open and a big grin spread across his face. It had worked!
Petunia came home and he was pushed into the kitchen to cook dinner for her precious Vernon who had worked hard all day. Uncle Vernon came home and the Dursleys stuffed their faces while Harry got a beating, sprained wrist and a growling stomach for the night.
At Hogwarts Harry's letter arrived. McGonagall gasped with anger as she read the letter from Harry Potter.
Dear Hogwarts,
My name is Harry Potter and I must ask that you send someone to take me to get my supplies for I don't have transportation to get there. My family will not take me and I must ask if I could work for my supplies because I have no money to pay for them. My family won't pay for me either. Frankly, this is the first time I've heard of the wizarding world, so if whoever comes to pick me up could teach me the basics of how things are in your world it would be most helpful.
Sincerely,
Harry Potter
The transfiguration teacher rushed to the headmaster's office. "ALBUS! I knew it! I knew those muggles were no good for that bo..." She broke off her rant when she noticed Severus sitting there with his eyebrow raised with disdain.
"Minerva how wonderful of you to join us. Lemon drop, my girl?" His blue eyes twinkled as Albus asked her.
She sputtered waving the letter, "No you meddling old coot! I have just gotten a letter from Harry Potter whom until recently was unaware of the Wizarding world. His muggle relatives were simply going to leave him in the dark!"
"Minerva I'm sure it was a simple misunderstanding. There's no need to be so dramatic," twinkled Albus Dumbledore. "We will simply send someone to clear things up."
Severus snorted. "Working so hard for one child Albus?" he said with distaste.
"Oh come now Severus," twinkled Albus, "don't tell me you're going to hold a grudge against the boy simply because of his parentage. You must remember Lily was his mother too." If you looked closely you could see the manipulation and influence behind his twinkling blue eyes working away.
SEVERUS POV
You would want me to hate my own destined one wouldn't you old man. The only reason I've stuck around you for this long is for the hope that Lucius and I would find our beloved Harrison. You were the one who killed Lily and James, framing Tom all for power didn't you? Well just you wait. You're in for a surprise.
"Albus to prove to that I'm right about anyone named Potter I'll go retrieve the boy myself" he chose to respond.
"Oh would you my boy? That would be most helpful, and might as well tell his family that he won't be returning till next summer."
Oh, I bet you want me to act like the greasy dungeon bat towards him simply because I hated his father you old man. Well I won't give you the satisfaction. I would never be cruel to my precious Harrison.
"Shall I go now and retrieve the boy headmaster?"
"Yes my boy, go right ahead. Now Minerva while you're here..."
HARRY POV
Today I'm eleven and I feel something good is going to happen, thought Harry with a smile on his face when he woke up the next morning.
BANG! BANG! BANG! "BOY GET UP AND FIX OUR BREAKFAST!" Uncle Vernon boomed, making the spiders and dust to fall upon him.
"Yes Uncle Vernon" Harry answered back. He crawled out of his cupboard and went to go make breakfast. As the Dursleys were eating, the door bell rang.
"Well boy what are you waiting for? Go get the door!" yelled Vernon.
"Yes Uncle Vernon." He tripped over Dudley's feet and the whole family laughed as he went to the door.
SEVERUS POV
He had apparated to Privet drive. Glancing around, he sneered at the normalcy of muggles. They all seemed to pride themselves on being the same and normal. 4 Privet drive the letter had said. His stomach bubbled as he walked to the front door and pressed the door bell. He was about to meet his destined.
HARRY POV
Harry Potter opened the door to long 6'2" heighted sex on legs; obsidian eyes; soft, short, black, glossy hair; wrapped in a package of black and billowy robes.
"Hello," the man said. Harry's eyes widened, the voice made him feel tingly. "I am here to retrieve and explain things to a Mr. Harry Potter, and also help him pick up his supplies for Hogwarts schooling."
Harry cleared his throat, "That would be me sir." The man's eyes widened then narrowed. His nostrils flared. Harry took a step back as the man stepped into the home made his way to Uncle Vernon's sitting chair in the sitting room. He sat down and demanded that he bring his aunt and uncle at once. Harry could only nod as he went back to the kitchen.
"Um, Uncle Vernon, there is a man to see you."
"Well boy why didn't you say anything?" He gave a quick smack to the back of Harry's head. The Dursleys all got up and went into the living room to greet the guest.
SEVERUS POV
All he knew was rage when the door was opened up he had thought the boy was 8 by his size, not an 11 year old boy! There were bruises everywhere and there was no mistaking the signs of abuse. He was going to destroy these muggles! Then he was going to destroy that manipulating, twinkly-eyed, old coot. Was there no one watching the boy? Of course there was someone watching. Albus wouldn't let anything happen to his precious weapon. He came out of his thoughts to look up as a walrus of a man, a baby whale, and a pencil thin woman came into the living room. The woman paled as she recognized him.
"You!" she hissed.
"Hello Petunia. It's been awhile has it not?"
"You know him Petunia?" barked the walrus man.
"Yes," she fumed, "he is the freak boy that used to hang around my freak sister and her kind."
The walrus' face went purple. "Get out you freak! We don't want your kind here! We already promised that old freak that we would take the freak boy in. I want no more in my house so get out now!"
NORMAL POV
Severus pulled his wand out and jabbed it against Vernon's throat. "Now listen to me muggle," Petunia squeaked in reaction to his actions. "I'm not leaving here without the boy and you won't have to worry about our freakiness returning here again." He turned to Harry and said, "Now Harry go get all your belongings you wish to take with you."
Harry was wide eyed. He had never had an adult stand up for him before! This man seemed to want him and he could only nod in compliance. He moved towards the cupboard and got all his belongings. He didn't have much to his name.
Severus saw red. He could see a cot and Harry's things from where he stood. They made the boy live in a cupboard under the stairs! "Petunia you should be ashamed of yourself! A cupboard and abuse! If lily were alive…"
Petunia interrupted, "If she hadn't got blown up we wouldn't have had to take in the freak boy."
Severus thrust his wand in her direction. "Shut up! You know if the roles were reversed, Lily would treat your son like her own."
Petunias eyes lowered in shame.
"Now excuse us but we have things to do and places to be," Severus said with disgust.
HARRY POV
The dark angel took him by his arm pulled him close. It felt like he was being pushed through a vacuum tube. They landed outside of some pub.
The dark angel (what harry thought Severus was to him, a guardian angel) dropped down to one knee. "Look at you," the man said softly touching his face. "You have your mum's eyes. We'll have to take care of your eyesight. Must have inherited it from your father."
Harry's eyes widened, "You knew my parents?"
Severus smiled then his eyes widened. "Where are my manners? I am Severus Tobias Snape, Lord Prince. Potion Master and Professor at Hogwarts. I will explain everything to you as we go," he said. "Yes I knew your parents," he added softly.
"We'll have to find you a more suitable place to live. Ah, I know just the person to ask. He should be in Diagon Alley today. Just about everyone should be here. Hmm, we don't want to overcrowd you just yet. A glamour will just have to do to hide you for now." He waved his wand over Harry then he fixed his clothes to something more appropriate that fit him. "Well Harry ready to go?" Severus held his hand out for him to take.
Harry took his hand. This man he felt was trustworthy. Severus took him through the pub to a wall, where he tapped his wand against the bricks in a pattern. The wall moved back to open up to the most wonderful place Harry had ever seen. He didn't know what to look at first.
"Welcome Mr. Potter, to Diagon alley, the center of Britain's Wizarding World," Severus said with a grin. "Come we must go to Gringotts. Harry here is your first lesson, don't stare at the goblins. Show them respect you will never be without gold."
Harry could only nod his head in wonder. He tugged Severus' hand "Sir, I don't have any money."
Severus grinned (wow the world must be ending), "Don't you worry Harry, your parents left you well off. You have no worries of paying for your supplies."
Harry's shoulders sagged with relief. They went into the big, white, stone building where Harry saw green, big eared creatures. He lowered his eyes in remembrance of the man's words not to stare and show respect. Severus' lips tugged again at Harry's response to the goblins.
"Goodness hell must be freezing over! Severus Snape willing to mingle into society while smiling," a voice teasingly drawled out.
Severus' eyes lit up. "Lucius," he breathed.
"I presume the glamoured child next to you is a Mr. Potter." Lucius, being a part of the three destined for each other would be able to recognize said mates anywhere no matter what.
"Father! Father! Can we hurry?" whined a miniature Lucius Malfoy.
"If you're patient Draco and wait, Severus and Mr. Potter could join us on our shopping adventure," Lucius said irritated.
Draco's eyes lit up at the mention of Severus and Harry Potter joining them.
"Now Harry," Severus turned to the wide eyed boy. "Let me introduce you to the Malfoys, Lucius and Draco."
Harry held his hand out to shake, "Pleased to meet you both."
Lucius lips twitched as he took Harry's hand. He was excited meet his destined one. "It's a pleasure Mr. Potter."
Harry could only blush. The man was pretty and feminine with golden fairy hair that sparkled.
"Now Harry, the Malfoys will wait while we go get you set up with your account." Severus tugged the boy behind him. They went up to a goblin writing in a book. "We are to visit Mr. Harry Potter's vaults."
"Key," the goblin responded.
Severus pulled it out of his robes and handed it over. The goblin seemed to grin.
"Come with me," the goblin said.
Severus and Harry followed quickly into the miner seats. They went through loops and swirls. Harry couldn't even close his eyes. They stopped in front of a set of walls where the goblin stuck the key into a hole that seemed to appear. The walls shook and trembled before they opened to stacks of gold.
Harry's eyes widened in wonder. "All of this is mine?" he gasped.
Severus chuckled, "Of course not, Harry." He chuckled again at Harry's fallen face, he was so cute. "You will inherit more when you come of age."
Harry's eyes widened even more when he thought he would inherit more. They piled coins into a bag that never seemed to fill up. A bottom less bag Harry discovered. He beamed as they left the vault and returned to the surface.
Draco Malloy exclaimed, "Finally! We can go shopping now!?"
"Draco!" chided Lucius.
Draco blushed at his outburst.
Harry giggled.
Severus grinned, "Let's go shopping. We can't forget that it's someone's birthday today."
Harry blushed as both Malfoys turned their attention onto him.
"Yes," Lucius murmured. "We do have a birthday to celebrate."
"Whoohoooo presents!" Draco clapped.
The young Malfoy snagged his hand, "Well we need to get a move on if you're going to get anything good."
Harry's eyes widened and he quickly snagged Severus, hand to follow him from behind. Lucius followed chuckling.
The group first went to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Madam Malkin froze as soon as she saw Lucius Malfoy. Their personalities had always clashed. Severus looked between Lucius and Mrs. Malkin as they had a stare down. Draco and Harry had bemused looks on their faces. Severus rolled his eyes at the two cleared his throat. "Mrs. Malkin, we need a whole new wardrobe for Lucas including winter wear, casual and formal. Include his Hogwarts attire with shoes as well."
"Of course Professor Snape, I'll do his Hogwarts attire today and owl the rest later."
Severus said that would be fine.
Without blinking or looking away from Lucius she said, "What can I do for the Malfoys today?" Lucius blinked in response then scowled because he lost the staring contest. He would win against the crazy bird one day. He coolly informed her that they will simply need Hogwarts attire for today.
"Severus and I are going to get the books and supplies from the list while you are being measured and fitted. We will come back to take you to get your wands, okay?" Lucius asked. The boys agreed so Lucius and Severus left the shop.
Severus and Lucius went the Apothecary, Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions (Lucius said something had to be done about Harry's hair. Even with the glamour he could tell he probably had the Potter hair, which was a good look but just needed extra caring for), Obscurus Books, Potage's Cauldron Shop, the stationery store, WhizzHard Books, Magical Menagerie (Severus and Lucius are the ones to gift Hedwig to Harry).
Severus groaned about Lucius being a shopaholic. Lucius rebutted about Severus taking forever to pick out the owl (which will be Hedwig of course). Severus said it was a gift for Harry. Lucius agreed that harry would only get the best being their destined one.
Severus lost himself to his thoughts. He had yet to tell Lucius how he had found Harry living. He would have to tell him when the children were not with them. They would seek revenge on those muggles who had dared to hurt their precious Harry. Severus was pulled from his thoughts by Lucius saying something about getting Harry's eyes corrected. It would not do to have him keep wearing those ugly broken glasses. Severus agreed and they both headed back to pick the boys up from Madam Malkin's.
They walked into chaos. A fat, redheaded lady was yelling at Harry and Draco while Madam Malkin was shaking in the corner. The lady was yelling about treating her daughter better and Malfoys being no good. Her sons stood to the side with red, embarrassed faces at their mother's actions and her husband was pulling on her and telling her to calm down while the daughter stood to the side with smug face. That was showing them boys to shut their mouths! Harry Potter was promised to her, no one could say otherwise.
*Flashback*
Madam Malkin measured them both and fitted them for their robes for Hogwarts while her assistants used the coloring spell to see what colors were best for Harry's new wardrobe. The glamour did not interfere with spell so it would pick perfectly for Harry's true color tones.
Harry and Draco began to talk about how they can't wait for Hogwarts to start.
"What are the houses at Hogwarts about?" Harry asked timidly. Draco was aghast his godfather had failed to teach Harry about the Hogwarts housing system. He had decided to take up the challenge of teaching his new best friend Harry everything he knew. Yes he was determined to be Harry's best friend, he felt very protective of him.
He started out quickly with "My father told me that…" and he recited like it was directly from a text book:
The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is divided into four houses, each bearing the last name of its founder: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Hufflepuff, founded by Helga Hufflepuff values hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members. Its emblematic animal is the badger, and yellow and black are its colors. Ravenclaw values intelligence, knowledge, and wit. Its emblematic animal is the eagle, and its colors are blue and bronze. Slytherin house values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness and was founded by Salazar Slytherin. Its emblematic animal is the serpent, and its colors are emerald green and silver. Gryffindor values bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Its emblematic animal is the lion, and its colors are scarlet and gold.
"My father says he will be proud of me no matter the house but mother says that she won't acknowledge me if I get into any house other than Slytherin." He shrugged because he didn't care what his mother told him because she was never around unless she trying to impress her snooty friends. All he needed was his daddy's love. He explained this to Harry who could only nod his head. Ding dong. A loud, rambunctious family came into the store. They were red-headed with freckles so it couldn't be anyone but the Weasleys.
Harry wrinkled his nose at the loud woman. She was being very rude in the store. Well madam had to get them fitted for clothing (Ginny will be Ron's twin but not bonded like Fred and George).
"Mother," the snotty girl said. "I must have the best robes to impress Harry Potter if I'm going to snag him for marriage."
"Of course Ginny dear only the best for my little girl," he mother responded.
Draco snorted at the girl thinking of marriage at the age of eleven. I mean he was pureblooded but thankfully his father was going to allow him to choose his own bride or groom.
Both females turned at his snort. "Excuse me child," Molly yelled. "Do you find something funny?"
"Yeah," Ginny agreed. The boys and husband who had gone into the back with the assistant to get fitted for robes were not here to witness all this.
Harry started to shake in fear. She reminded him of Uncle Vernon when yelling, she frightened him. Draco noticing this poked his chin up high and stood in front of Harry and said, "Yes we do find something funny, because Harry Potter doesn't know you blood traitors. He's eleven and besides, I'm sure he has better taste then to marry your ugly daughter," Draco said smoothly and coldly channeling his father.
At his words, Molly's face got red with anger. She started at yelling the boys and Arthur came back at sound of the yelling. Madam Malkin moved away and about that time Severus and Lucius came back.
* End of Flashback*
Severus immediately went to comfort his Harry who had completely shut down. Lucius had his wand in Molly's face, "Out of respect for my cousin and close friend Arthur I won't harm you woman, but I would advise you to leave."
Molly hmphed, grabbed Ginny, and shouted for Arthur to bring the boys. Arthur stopped to pay Madam Malkin and apologize for Molly. He agreed to bring the boys over for dinner because Draco missed his cousins.
Harry was finally calmed. Severus laughed, just like a Potter to cause drama on his first day in the wizarding world. Harry blushed mumbled an apology. Severus and Lucius thought this adorable.
Severus cleared his throat, "Happy birthday Harry" and showed him a large cage that held a beautiful snowy owl, fast asleep with her head under her wing."
Harry's eyes widened in wonder. "For me?" he asked.
Lucius laughed saying, "I don't see anybody else with a birthday we are celebrating. You can name her whatever you want, she's yours."
Harry broke into tears sobbing thank you and threw his arms around Lucius and Severus. His first gift from someone who cared. They looked at him tenderly. "I think I'll wait to name her something really good," Harry smiled.
"Well," Lucius said misty eyed, "this trip isn't over yet. We still need to do something about your eyes and last of all your wands."
The end for now.
* Ginny and Molly are the only evil Weasleys and the Weasleys are not poor. Maybe not as rich the Blacks, Malfoys or Potters but they are not poor as in the books. Lucius and Arthur are related and best friends as well. Next time Harry's new eyes, a new wand, a dinner and offer all happens in the new chapter. It's great to be back. Remember to vote! I will be closing the polls for the dominant and subs and who will be the twins mate. I'll be opening one for all the Weasley men's mates to vote who will be with them.
