Back in Time: Chapter 15
Harry's POV
"Does that mean you are a horcrux, or the part that was in you back in
that time has been merged with your soul, and it doesn't classify as a
horcrux?" Severus asked.
"It does not classify as a horcrux, but
it is still a part of his soul. So, as long as I'm alive, my mate is alive, so
is he. He can use that part of his soul as a link or connection with me. As I
grow older, I think we could speak with each other through the link." I
said.
"We need to act fast. We need someone to
adopt Harry. Black is his godfather and can easily adopt him. So can Lupin. If
we're not fast, Dumbledore will do something, and it would not sit well with
our plan of action." Lucius said.
Sirius nodded and looked at Remus. Remus was
conflicted. "What do you feel about it, Harry?" Sirius asked me.
"You did adopt me back then, only it was
because you started to doubt Dumbledore and wanted to give an extra layer of
protection for me. I didn't know I was adopted until you died, when Kreacher
called me Lord Black. So, this time round, I want to know and feel the
adoption. And you will also be adopting me, Remus." I said as I looked at
them.
Remus didn't know what to say. "I want
you as my son as much as Sirius, but what if you get the wolf too?" He
asked. He didn't want me to go through the pain of transforming every full
moon.
"Remmy, you and I both know that it gets
transferred only if you bit him. And I know that it is impossible for Moony to
bite pup. There is nothing wrong with wanting a son of your own." Sirius
said.
Remus looked at me. I know I had a pleading
look on my face. I wanted parental figures in life, or at least in this one.
Remus finally nodded. He looked at Riverand and said, "Can we get the
adoption potion?"
Riverand nooded and asked for the goblin in
the room to fetch an adoption potion. The goblin came back a few minutes later
with a potion and a ritual dagger.
Sirius cut his palm with the dagger, let
seven drops of blood fall into the potion, and healed himself before giving the
dagger to Remus, who dropped seven drops of his blood into the potion as well.
When the blood was mixed into the potion, I gave Draco to Narcissa and gulped
the potion down.
It was like being hit with stinging hexes,
not painful, but definitely uncomfortable.
When the feeling was completely gone, I
looked at Sirius. He gasped. He walked to me and hugged me. "You look like
a different person now, pup. You have your green eyes, but you also have a blue
rim at the iris, which you got from me, and gold streaks near the iris, which
you got from Remus. You look the perfect combination of James and me in the
face. You filled out a little. Remus was taller than your average kid even back
then, and since you morphed yourself into your 11-year-old self, it seems like
you got your build from both Remus and Lily." He said.
"I'm glad." I said as I returned
the hug and asked Remus to join for a couple of moments, which he did with the
brightest smile I had ever seen on his face. That was the smile I was when he
showed me Teddy.
When they pulled back and sat in their
chairs, I took Draco back into my arms. Narcissa wasn't complaining, for which
I was glad. Tonks never let me hold Teddy for more than 5 minutes.
Then I looked at both Tom and Severus.
"After you hide your mark, I want the both of you to be my
godfathers." I said.
"You want us to be your
godfathers?" Tom asked.
I nodded. "As far as the people know, I
still escaped death. You didn't kill me. You only killed James and Lily. Just
watch, the old man will announce to the press that I am the boy-who-lived,
again." I said. "And nobody, not even the old man, can imagine the
Dark Lord and his mate, to be my godfathers. If anything, he'll think that
Severus is helping him by being my godfather. He will feel that he would have
access with me if he knew Severus was my godfather. And Tom, you do not look
like the version of you, the version of Tom Marvolo Riddle, he knows. You could
gain inside information yourself. You could go by a different last name, make
him feel that you are not the dark lord, now that you are sane, your aura is
also completely different."
"He is right, my lord. Your aura is
different." Lucius said.
"About Severus, even I accept that it is
a good plan. Even if my aura is changed, my name will still be the same. I
would still have the Slytherin traits. What should we do if he tries to
separate me from you or Severus?" Tom asked.
"The Gaunts also are the descendants of
Peverells. You will not get the lordship as it would belong to Heir
Potter-Black in the future, but you can still have your Slytherin and Gaunt
Lordships. And I do believe that you have more than the Slytherin, Peverell,
and Gaunt blood in you." Riverand said.
"How can I still have my lordships? and
if you feel that way, then I would request for an inheritance test." Tom
said.
Riverand and summoned a parchment and placed
it in front of Tom. He gave him the ritual dagger. Tom let seven drops fall on
the parchment after he cut his palm and healed before handing the dagger back
to Riverand.
"That is for any remaining magical blood
lines in you other than Slytherin, Gaunt, and Peverell. It will take some time.
If you find any other bloodlines, then you can create an identity with those
lines and leave the identity as Tom Riddle behind. When you change your name,
do it magically so that even if Heir Prince was forced by Dumbledore to take an
inheritance test in public, it would show the name you would be using then, and
not Tom Marvolo Riddle." Riverand said.
"You can then hide your mark. And please
do remove the jinx you put on the Defense Against Dark Arts position. Then, you
can merge all your horcruxes back." I said.
"I will be hiding the mark anyway. Yes,
I will be doing that. I don’t know why I even placed that jinx. And once the
soul is broken, it can't be mended again." Tom said.
"You are forgetting that I'm the Master
of Death. Mortem wanted me to put the soul back together and explained to me
how I could do it. I can summon all your horcruxes to the bank if I was given permission
and put them back in you so that the coot will not have anything to relate you
and with your current self. What you had done was going against him. Be glad he
cannot kill. He can only take the souls of the dead back to his realm, not from
living people." I said.
Tom paled but nodded.
"You are allowed to whatever you please,
Heir Potter-Black. You are the Master of Death, after all." Riverand said.
"And it seems you do have a link to another bloodline, Lord
Slytherin-Gaunt." And looked at Tom with a glint in his eyes.
This might turn out to be fun.
