Balthazar was now 18 he'd gone into remission several times during his last 7 years but it had come back again and this time he seemed to be getting sicker than normal. He slept in his recliner as he always did when he was sick. His dad helped him into the sitting room and over to his recliner he was fresh from a bath. He noted people were here he didn't know.

"Is Uncle Siri here yet?" he asked weakly as Neph covered him up and gave him his journal. "He's coming right?"

"Of course he is." Neph said gently. " He always comes when you're sick . He said he's getting someone you really want to meet."

"Okay, Mom." Bal nodded, "Who are these people? Make them leave. I don't want them here while I'm sick."

"My name is Albus Dumbledore." the eldest man in the room said in a grandfatherly voice. " It's nice..."

"I know who you are, old man." Bal said shocking everyone who didn't know him. " Uncle Siri told me about you. " his eyes roamed to a shabby man." Tonight's the full moon, Mr. Moony." Bal raised his wand and flicked it a vial flew to him and he sent it to the man. As Sirius and Severus came in. "Drink this, Mr. Moony it' s an updated Wolvesbane Potion I created, You keep your mind , it doesn't hurt and you only have to take it the day of the Full moon. All werewolves outside Britain who want it use it. They just have to go to St. Mungo's and request it. It's free. "

"Thank you, Mr. Blackwell." Remus said, shocked. He drank it. "It also tastes better."

"That was the hardest part." Bal went into a coughing fit. When he recovered he spoke again trying to hide the blood on his hand. Neph began cleaning his hand. "I have a friend whose a werewolf he should be coming over after his Apprenticeship gets over for the day. He couldn't stand the taste. He was my test subject." He suddenly beamed, "Uncle Siri!...Oh Merlin! You're Potion's Master Severus Snape! I am so honored to meet you!"

Severus cocked an eyebrow.

"You'd be Balthazar Blackwell, then?" Severus asked, Balt nodded, " I'd shake your hand but I don't think that would be the best idea."

"No, sir, it probably wouldn't." Balt gave him a weak smile his eyes never leaving his idol. "Can we please discuss your latest article in Potions Monthly about the use of Pinx lice in the Invisibility Potion?"

Severus nodded and sat on a conjured chair next to Balt. The two talked which turned into a good natured debate that had everyone shocked to see Severus smirking at the boy.


"Albus what are you doing here?" Sirius demanded. "all of you need to leave this instant! Balt is sick! You are passing your germs along! He could die!"

"I wish you would be this worried about your other Godson." Albus said eyeing the boy talking to his Potion's master. " You spend most of your time here and not searching for Harry. Voldemort is back, Sirius we need Harry."

"Well, he's not here so why are you?!" Sirius growled, "Balt is here!"

"I've thought for awhile now that your Balt maybe our Harry."

Severus turned at this to glare at the man. Black had told him the truth that this was indeed Harry Potter that he was enjoying talking to but he wasn't about to tell the man that because he knew the old man's plans for Harry Potter and Balthazar Blackwell was in no shape. He'd also never wanted that for Lily's son anyway.

"I don't see an ounce of Potter in this boy." he scoffed, "He actually has a brain."

Balt let out a small laugh. Contrary to what his parents and uncle thought he knew the truth about his birth and had since he'd first gotten sick. He'd wondered how he'd gotten a Muggle Cancer if he was supposed to be a Pure-Blood he'd found what he needed in Gringotts. He'd payed to have a blood test done. He was Harry Potter but he loved his parents and uncle.

"Is this Harry Potter person important, Uncle Sirius?" Balt asked he felt really weak and he knew the answer already he'd studied all about the Potter and Evans family and what people thought of Harry himself. "Why do they think I'm him?"

"I don't know why they think you are Harry." Sirius said, smiling at Balt. "It has nothing to do with you, just go back to talking with Severus. It's going to be okay and I'll get rid of everyone else."

"Am I keeping you away from your other Godson?" Balt asked innocently

" Yes you are." Albus said, cutting in before Sirius could talk. "See Harry's been missing since he was 15 months old when I left him at his aunts and we've been trying to find him but you've kept Sirius away from focusing on that."

"Don't listen to a word he says, Balthazar,dear." Helios said, " Mr. Dumbledore I think it is time you and your people leave! I will not tolerate you saying things like that to my son! We gave birth to Balthazar late in life though it may have been! Balthazar is our son and I dare you to do a blood test on him at Gringotts to prove it!"

Balt swallowed. He'd payed the goblins specifically to test a hair of his from his old baby blanket since he'd figured it was his best bet if they had given him some kind of blood adoption potion.

"That wouldn't do us any good." A girl with bushy brown hair and a bossy tone of voice said, " We would only find what you want us to find. There are several potions and spells which make a child take on someone elses Dark by the way. "

"Dark?" Balt asked, "There is no such thing as Dark Magic ." They looked at him gaping . "We learned all about it in school. You Government is the only one in the world to use classifications such as Light magic and Dark magic. You're also the only school in the world that starts schooling at age 11 all other schools start at age 4. You are vastly backwards in your beliefs and haven't come out of the middle ages yet."

They were glaring at him.

"Do not glare at Balt because he speaks the truth." Sirius growled. He looked pointedly at Severus who got the message and went back to talking to Balt. " Ask Moony he could tell you."

Remus nodded. He watched Balt pass Severus the journal he'd been given by his mother. Severus looked over it and was obviously enthralled. Suddenly he smelt another werewolf.
