Harry took the Time Turner off and put it in the pouch he then summoned them suits out of the pouch. Severus cocked an eyebrow.
"It's black isn't it?"
"It's not that." Severus chuckled, "Did you pack this or did he?"
"We both did." Harry replied his back was to Severus as he tried to undress himself but he was still having trouble the nerve damage in his hands. He swore if he ever caught up to Dolohov he was going to kill him. "I emptied both the Black and Potter vaults for this. " he tugged at his hoodie. He was getting irritated. " Albus said that he had access to all of your vaults and emptied them as well. He looked through the properties that we owned and found one in great condition that no one in the Prince family even remembered ..."
Severus turned dressed to see Harry struggling. He sighed and turned Harry around. He gently pulled the hoodie off and the undershirt.
"I will undo your jeans but you will change those yourself. " Harry nodded and watched as Severus turned around. "You were saying my family?"
"I have the deed in here a bit of blood and you'll be allowed in. " Harry had managed though he wasn't sure how to get new boxers on with his new pants. "I'm done."
Severus turned around and began helping Harry finish dressing. Both wore black but they didn't look like the Blues Brothers at all. Harry stashed his wand and pulled it a few times he was still having problems holding his wand. He tapped his head and his hair tied back making it look short. He did the same for Severus. Then stashed his wand. He got out two wallets.
"Memorize it it's your new identity. " Harry tucked his away already knowing his. "He's an old ancestor of yours that looks a lot like you. He vanished about a year ago and was never seen again. " Harry pulled out a potion. "Drink."
"I am not drinking this."
"Drink." Harry repeated still refusing to look him in the eye. "We have to deage you to the proper age."
"Do you get and aging potion so that we are the same age?"
"No, now drink." Severus sighed and drank . "Now here's how this is going to go. " Severus cocked an eyebrow. He was not used to this kind of Harry. He kind of liked it " My wife and I filed for the Tom Riddle . Our application was approved." he was showing valid paper work. But the Orphanage did not give us Tom. My wife left me heart broken but I still want the child to love and raise. You are my cousin and are going to be helping me.
We will take these pictures. " he got out Muggle pictures of the outside and inside of the orphanage and the children inside."to the Police after we secure our covers. Our first stop will be the Muggle bank. Don't worry I've got that handled. Then we will pull on some robes and go to Gringotts and set up accounts there. We will then claim the house don't worry the blood will recognize you as you 20 year old identity. I will claim everything as my new Identity as well. He also vanished without a trace. Ironically our first names will remain the same. Well , in my case both first and last name will remain the same.
After that we will go to the House and do what needs to be done there. There should still be elves about and we have a lot to cover before we can actually pull this off. We need a back ground story of how we met and why we are now living together. They are cousins so it's not lying. Of course there was always a rumor that they found out they were mates and thinking there parents would disapprove ran off to be together."
"Couldn't that be our back story right there?" Severus asked as they joined Muggle London. "It seems perfect. I know the Prince line by heart. "
"I was unsure if you would want that to be our cover story as it would mean we would have to act like it in Wizarding public."
"I have no problems with that."
Harry's heart pounded rapidly in his chest and he told it to shut the hell up.
Harry looked around the house. It was small but spacey. It would be perfect for raising a child they had agreed to raise him as a half blood with ties to both worlds. Harry had quit talking again he sat himself on the floor and stared at the wall.
Four hours later Severus had had enough and sat next to him. Trying and failing to see what he was seeing.
"What's wrong?" he asked, assuming he wouldn't get an answer. He was right. Severus sighed and opened his Potions kit to grab the balm for Harry's hands . He began massaging it into Harry's right hand first. He was after all right handed. "Harry?" Harry shook his head. "You cannot just do this when we have a 5 year old to raise. You know that don't you." No response. "Are you thinking of Black?" Harry blinked and shook his head then shrugged. "You are thinking of all the lives you could save?"
"That's the thing." Harry finally spoke, "I watched this movie once and it had a line in it I could never forget."
"What's that?"
"Where there is Death there is always Death*" Harry quoted, "It means even if we stop one death from occurring another will just occur in it's place. "
"That was just a movie made by Muggles. " Severus sighed, "Don't take it as holy gospel."
"It's just bugging me." Harry felt Severus begin on his left hand but didn't look away from the wall he was staring at. "I don't know why I accepted this job. We have to raise this child and stop him from ever starting the first war! That means we have to raise him for 12 years. Really, I have no problem with that. I really don't but I don't know if I'm ready to be a father. I never really had any good influences in my life because I wasn't allowed to."
"The same for me." Severus chuckled, "My father was a right bastard . "
"That's another thing."
"What?"
"Well, If we do this then the war will never start. My mother will probably never fall in love with my father but stay with you." Harry was now working through his worst fear. "If that's true then ..."
"Then I'll be your father." Severus finished the balm and packed it away. He began Harry's hand exercises. " and you don't like that idea because you're in love with me."
"I didn't say that." Harry defended. "but yes."
"Well, I have the same problem, Harry." Harry went stock still and didn't even breath. Severus smirked and put his lips to Harry's ears. "I love you too, Harry."
Harry kept mentally yelling at his heart to SHUT UP! In preparation of getting used to each other and making everything seem real they were sleeping in the same bed. Only sleeping mind you and Harry couldn't do it. His heart just wouldn't stop hammering. It felt as if it would burst from his chest at any given moment. Arms suddenly pulled him to Severus' body and he heard a chuckle in his ear.
"It's not funny." Harry snapped, though it lacked any definite emotion. "I can't do this right now."
"Yes you can." Severus soothed his voice washed over him and he felt himself begin to relax. "You're fine. "
He fell asleep to Severus reciting the 12 uses of Dragon's blood.
