Sadly I own nothing, all rights go to our Queen JKR.
11th October 1984
Harrison stood next to Hermione, Draco and Luna as he stood in awe taking in his surroundings, a silver shine glistened over the entrance way he stood in. A large chandelier seemed the main feature which hung elegantly from the ceiling. He quickly forgot the shouting and bright lights he had caught a glimpse of before Narcissa had instructed the trio into the floo. As they stepped further away from the fireplace, stood waiting to greet them was a lanky man with black thin hair that seems to cling to his face glowered over the boy, Harrison began to step back slightly before thankfully, Hermione came to his rescue.
"Oh Sev, do not frighten Father's new ward, he would not like that." Hermione raised an eyebrow at the man taking the attention from Harrison entirely.
"Hmm, he would not." The man who Hermione had named Sev finally turned away and walked so quick his cloak fluttered behind him.
"Ignore Severus, he is grumpy." Hermione came to put her arm around Harrison and walked away from the fireplace.
"Sev is not grumpy, he just doesn't like Dunderheads." Draco spoke in his Godfather's defence.
"Dunderheads?" Harrison questioned.
"Yes, idiots." Draco nodded as a matter of fact.
"Oh..." Harrison looked down to his toes.
"He doesn't know you yet Harrison, he really doesn't like children. Draco, who will be home?" Luna spoke for the first time in a while.
"I am not too sure, maybe Rabastan will be here."
"Who is Rabastan?" Harry asked hoping he would be nicer than the previous adult.
"Me." A young man, around the age of 28 slid down the large bannister and jumped off two steps in front of the children, placed his hands on his hips and gave them a large grin.***
"Rabastan, Aunt Cissy will have your guts for garters if you carry on sliding down the bannisters." Hermione scolded him.
"You even sound like her, young lady." Rabastan took her hand and kissed the back of it gently.
He then turned to Draco and ruffled his hair, earning himself a Malfoy smirk from the young lord.
"Who are you?" Rabastan finally turned his eyes to Harrison.
"Harrison Riddle sir."
Rabastan stuck his hand out to shake Harrison's hand. Harrison slowly shook the hand and gave a small grin when he realised he was not going to be hurt.
"Rabastan Lestrange." He looked into the younger boy's eyes for a few seconds before shaking out of his thoughts. "So, where is our dear Lord? Has he already set up a meeting for your intended?" Rabastan looked at Harrison with a smile when the floo had gone.
"Bas you idiot, leave them be. Come help." Bellatrix yelled up to him.
Rabastan winked at the four children as he ran down to help the adults as Narcissa swapped with him on the stairs whispering one name that Hermione had made out. She glared at her Aunt and gasped as she saw him being levitated in.
"NOOOO." Hermione shouted as she tried running past Narcissa.
Hermione missed the glares from everyone else around her.
Narcissa had already seen her actions coming and bound the young Witch.
"Sorry dear, your Father will not forgive me if he walks through now and you see him in this state."
Narcissa Levitated her upstairs and into her own personal tea room, she waited for the others to walk into before placing silencing charms, the room was rather girly, full of deep reds with cream outlays and deep purple furniture. Narcissa laid Hermione down on the high-backed recamier and removed the bind.
"But Tonin..." Hermione began
"Antonin will be fine, do not worry, his Russian blood makes him strong." She smiled slightly at the girl in front of her.
"Let us have tea if Harrison is feeling up to it, maybe he will tell you all a bit about himself?" She looked back to the young boy in front of her as she poured five cups of tea.
"He doesn't really want to, he will though because he is polite." Luna dreamily spoke over her rich tea finger.
"Quite..." Narcissa added, she was still new to having a seer around and Luna reminded her so much of her Mother; Pandora, when they both attended Hogwarts, that would be another story for another time.
Downstairs, a different atmosphere of rushing around and trying to sort out the few Death Eaters wounded before their Lord arrived back and no one wanted to anger him. Many in the room knew of his temper and the majority had been on the wrong end of his wand. All of a sudden, the room filled with quiet, no one dared to move.
"Can someone tell me how Fumbledore and his order of goons managed to enter MY MANOR WITH NO ACCESS TO THE WARDS WHILST MY DAUGHTER WAS INSIDE." He shouted so loud those closest jumped and whimpered away.
"Severus?" Tom looked straight to his spy.
"Yes my lord?"
"What do you know?"
"I arrived at Malfoy Manor seconds before I came to your Manor to inform you that Albus had a curse breaker working on your wards. I was unaware you were in the Manor until I ran into Hermione at the floo. I then left through the floo to help."
"Let me see." He demanded before using Legilimens on him.
"Very well, yes you are correct. The boy was Evans son, he is now Harrison Riddle, my male Heir. Severus you may go, please help Bellatrix and Rabastan with Antonin to a spare room. Lucius, why did you not arrive when I called you?" Tom turned his attention to the Malfoy Lord.
"Please your Lord, I was in the Shower. I came as quick as I could."
"Can anyone vouch for this?"
"Yes my Lord. I can." Rodolphus spoke up stepping forward. "We are staying at the Manor for a few weeks, my Brother and I. I have asked many of times for Lucius to show us the way he hunts and breeds his dogs. He came into my room once I was settled, he apologised profusely for being a terrible host but asked if he could borrow a towel from my closet they provided as his wife had the elves wash all their towels."
"Let me see." He demanded before using Legilimens again to see the information wanted.
"Very well, you to may go." As Lucius and Rodolphus left the room screams could be heard as their Lord used torture as punishment to those who had been no or very little help that evening.
