Harry beamed as he looked around. He could see so much better now! He was so happy that Prof. Snape had fixed his eyes!
"Wow, I can see everything! I'll be able to read even better now!"
Severus actually chuckled. Harry did love to read.
"I need to talk to you about something." By this time Lucius Malfoy was in the room as well. Harry beamed at Severus and hugged him tightly. "Harry , what would you say if I told you that I would like to adopt you?" Severus bit the inside of his cheek. He would be devastated if Harry said no.
"Okay, daddy!" Harry beamed up at him brightly. "I would love that so much, Daddy ! From now on I'm your son and you're my daddy, daddy! Ari is my mate, and Siera is my sis."
Siera cheered loudly she'd always wanted a little brother or sister but of course her parents were in prison so that wasn't going to happen. The adults and Ari glared at her.
"Sorry." she said, clearing her throat. "I'm happy to have a brother."
"I'm glad you said yes, Harry." Severus told him truthfully. "and you may call me whatever you wish. But it's not as easy as it sounds." This was the hard part and Harry looked at him with confusion in his eyes. "Lucius has all the papers but we need to go see your muggles..."
Severus was suddenly almost hiding behind Lucius. Harry was bawling and Ari and Siera were in protective mode. A mad Son of the Dark Lord was bad enough by himself but add a girl who was half Black half LeStrange , who got the Black Temper, the Black "Hex first and ask questions later" and a psychotic mother to the mix and both Severus and Lucius were almost cowering in fear. Severus quickly recovered though.
"I'll make sure we can take Aries and Siera with us." he called to the bawling boy. Harry calmed to a sniffle and nodded. Ari was a bit relieved he wouldn't have to start throwing curses around but he was loosing feeling in his arm. "Minerva, wont mind. I'm sure." Severus said, "Lucius will be coming with as well and Minerva has contacted an Auror we know to be on stand by in case we need them. "
"You have to pretend you hate me." Harry told him rubbing his eyes. Everyone blinked at him. "If they think you like me they'll never sign me over, daddy. See they really hate me and like to hurt me they'd never let me go with someone who loves me. So you're really going to have pretend you hate me. Say things like you know how to handle disobedient children and know when they need a good caning. And you know that children like me need a lot of chores to keep them out of trouble and wore down. Don't tell them anything good. Make it sound like you hate me as much a possible."
Everyone in the room was seething.
"Maybe I shouldn't bring Aries and Siera. " Severus sighed, Harry's lip trembled, "See reason, Harry, they might start throwing curses then they'd end up in Azkaban and you'd never see them. " Harry calmed and nodded, Severus sighed, "You may have a sleep over with Siera and Aries when we return in my living room."
"OKAY!" Harry beamed brightly. That was fine with him. Aries and Seira seemed satisfied with that as well.
Harry was not happy at all not at all! He wanted Ari and he wanted him now! But he couldn't have him. He kept his composure as Severus knocked on the door to his Aunt and Uncle's House. The door slammed open to reveal Dudley.
"MOM ! DAD! THE FREAK IS BACK!" Dudley bellowed.
"Wh-What a-re y-you d-do-ing h-ome?" Harry asked, falling back into stuttering . Severus winced.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to ask questions?" Petunia was now at the door. "YOU!"
Harry had to keep his shock that his aunt knew his new daddy hidden deep.
"I-I..."
"Now, Now, Potter." Severus sneered forcing their way into the house. He knew the Auror was already in and gathering information . "I told you that you are only to apologize to me."
"Y-yes, s-sir." Harry wanted to cry even though he knew this was acting. Lucius sneered shutting the door.
"Hello, Tuny." Severus drawled, "This must be you husband Vernon and son son Dusty?"
"Dudley ." Petunia corrected. "Why are you here, Snape?"
"I want you to sign some papers. " Severus answered. "Shall we have tea?" He flicked his wand and tea began preparing itself. Vernon was turning puce, Dudley let out a high pitched squeal like a pig, and Petunia began shaking. "Where is your sitting room?"
Petunia lead the way.
"On the floor , Potter." Harry sat at Severus' feet. On his knees , head down hands in his lap his body shaking. He had to make this look good. The tea arrived on the table. "Serve me and Lucius , Potter. "
Harry quickly sprang up to serve the two of them tea.
"As you can see..." Severus sneered, "I have been training Potter here." the Dursley's nodded. Harry served Severus and Lucius tea then resumed sitting. Severus flicked his wand and the Dursleys were served . Petunia took a few tentative sips of hers. "I would like to adopt him to make him into my slave." Severus and Lucius both drank some tea at the same time. "I merely need you to sign some papers. "
"Why should we hand him over to you?" Vernon asked, nastily. " He's our good for nothing piece of shit!"
"Ah, but I've done in a month what you have failed to do in ten years." Severus said, smoothly . "I've broken the boy and molded him into what I want. The perfect slave. He only listens to me. It's so much easier with magic you know. "
As expected things got loud and Harry had to remind himself over and over that this wasn't real that they were just acting.
In the end the Dursley's agreed to sign Harry over. They had just finished signing when a man appeared in the door frame to the room. He was tall and black. A girl who looked fresh out of Hogwarts appeared next to him then a man with a weird eye, a wooden leg, and a cane.
"Harry, come to daddy ." Harry was up and Severus' lap in a second. The tall black man made the paper work vanish. "I'm sorry I had to be pretend to be so mean to you."
Severus cuddled his little one to him.
"I KNEW IT!" Vernon bellowed, "YOU PLAYED US!"
"ENOUGH!" The black man yelled, "We have called your Muggle Law Enforcement . "
"How did you do that?" Lucius drawled, "You and Moody are Pure Bloods, Shacklebolt."
"I'm a half blood." the girl said, brightly she had bubblegum pink hair. "I called them! You should see some of the things we found ! They treated this poor boy so bad..." She rushed over and Harry was soon out of Severus' lap and being hugged by her. "You are so cute! And innocent! And I can't believe anyone would treat a child this way!"
"Miss. Tonks , kindly unhand my son." Severus sighed, everyone was standing now. "I need to get him back to Hogwarts so he can have his break down."
"You and I are cousin's you know that?" Tonks babbled to Harry . "You're gran on your dad's side was a Black and my mum is a Black . I think we're like fourth cousins. So if you ever need anything you just tell someone to call Nymphadora or Andromeda Tonks okay, little cousin?! YOU ARE SO CUTE!"
Severus and Lucius both sighed, in retrospect they really should have seen this coming. Severus because most of the female population at the school and part of the male seemed to find Harry cute . Lucius because he himself was having trouble controlling himself from doing the same thing his niece was doing. He did like young boys after all.
Tonks was now going on about how soft Harry's hair was while Vernon raged and Dudley gaped. Petunia sat drinking her tea through pursed lips. Tonks was rubbing her cheek against Harry's hair like a cat.
