Sadly I own nothing, all rights go to our Queen JKR.
A/N Now the bonds are nearly settled, in a few chapters I will be year skipping until Hogwarts.
11th October 1984
"Cissa?" Lucius questioned his wife at the state of Hermione and the new guests in the room. His wife has been the obvious person he sought after he was dismissed from their Lord's presence.
"Where shall I start?"
"The beginning will suffice."
"Ok, we arrived at Our Lords manor this morning, to help with the children obviously, Bella has somehow weirdly come up with a co-parenting agreement with Xenophillius Lovegood over his Daughter Luna."
"But.."Lucius tried to interrupt, Narcissa raised her hand to stop him interrupting.
"Bellatrix saw he was struggling and offered for him to have weekends off as we help raise her into a Pureblood Daughter. Yesterday we had Luna and Ginny Weasley over to play, her older brothers William and Charlie are clearly not as light as the rest of family, Our lord will be pleased. Back to today, we were all having tea in the parlour when Our Lord brought Harrison home with him, he is the boy who lived. Our Lord has blood adopted him as Harrison Riddle."
"There is more to this story I wish to hear tonight."
"Of course dear."
"Why is Hermione in bed?"
"She got herself in such a state over Antonin."
"Hmm, I will inform Severus, he may be able to tell me of his recovery." With that, he bowed to the children and his wife. Leaving he took a deep breath and sighed, why was nothing ever simple? He was lucky that he knew Bellatrix took Antonin to the spare room, a floor directly above Hermione's room.
"Severus, may I come in?"
"Obviously, this is your house." He heard the younger man drawl.
"How is he doing?"
"Dolohov will live."
"Are you aware of the Dark Lords new ward?"
"If you are speaking of Harry Potter, yes I am aware."
"What are your thoughts on the matter?"
"Whatever my lord wishes of me, I will do my best to assist."
"I am sure you will. When are we to expect Antonin to wake?"
"By this evening at the earliest."
"Thank You, Severus Hermione will be pleased."
Hermione had dropped back to sleep, as she did, Narcissa instructed for Harry, Draco and Luna to follow her out.
"Hermione is exhausted and is to be left alone..."
"But Mother tomorrow is..."
"I am aware you are looking forward to your Father's birthday my Dragon, Hermione will be awake in an hour and until then, I expect you to occupy yourself somehow whilst I try to find your Father, I have news for him."
Draco sulkily nodded. He waited until his Mother left before he turned to Luna and Harry.
"Father made me a new fort last week if you would like to play?" He looked down at his feet, feeling rather nervous and unsure of how he should react, normally he allowed Hermione to speak for the two of them.
"I would like that Draco." Harry smiled up at the boy.
"I shall watch." Luna stated of a matter of fact.
The three slowly walked outside, the day was warm, with a nip to the air.
"How old are you Harry?"
"I am 5."
"I turn 6 tomorrow. Are you coming to my party?"
"I... I am not sure."
"Well, I hope you are. Perhaps that Tom would allow you to stay tonight." Draco drifted off in thought as they exited through the conservatory.
"Wow...!"
"It is a gift from my parents, a sort of, well done for behaving whilst Tom introduced himself back into our society."
"Back into?" Harry questioned as they climbed the over the bridge.
"Yes, Tom was Missing in action for while, Hermione lived and still lives with us at the Manor. He is back and he growing stronger whilst Hermione is prepared into society by Mother and Aunt Bella." Draco handed him a wooden sword and shield.
"Oh, right. Will I be living at your manor too then?" Harry took them and prepared his stance to fight.
"I am not sure, I am hoping you will, normally son's stay with their Fathers, gain a natural respect for respectable families and their business, how each family heir can be of use in the future. However, your family, your new family that is... is dysfunctional." Draco used his sword in his right hand, as he began battling with his new brother.
"So that means I will be staying with you then?" Harry was confused.
"More than likely, until you are older."
"ATTACK!" Came a voice from behind, as the two boys spun around Rabastan and Lucius had conjured their own wooden swords and began battling the two children.
Making the two boys jump and began giggling as they fought with their elders.
Little did they know, Voldemort was sat in Hermione's room, he had woken her up to see how she was fairing. Hermione becoming more and more comfortable with her Father, she pulled him up and sat on his knee in the window seat. From there, the two watched down below at the events unfolding.
"Father."
"Yes Hermione?"
"Has 'Tonin awoken yet?"
"No, Severus promises to have him awake before tea."
"Ok."
"What do you think of your new Brother?"
"Harrison? He is nice enough, quiet, a few months younger than I."
"Shall we keep him?"
"I thought that was the idea? Please don't dispose of him."
"I won't I only want you to be happy. All this, everything I do, I do for you and now Harrison."
"We are grateful too."
"I know you are."
"When will I live with you?"
"Do you want to live in Riddle Manor?"
"I don't mind either way."
"I think the best thing in life is routine. For now, you will still live here, with Aunt Cissy, Uncle Lucius, Draco and now Harrison."
"You won't treat him better than me, will you?"
"No, I will not, you are both equal to me." Tom placed a gentle kiss on her temple before looking back outside.
