1 Chapter 1 Shocked

Harry got off the train and said goodbye to his friend Ron, as Hermione had left school early do to a family emergency, she wasn't on the train with them. Harry thought as he waited for his uncle. "Come on BOY!" His uncle yelled as he came into view looking like it was Harry's fault for all his problems. "Coming uncle Vernon." Harry said not wanting to anger him anymore than he already was.

Harry got into the back seat where his cousin sat looking smug. "You know dear cousin; I'm going to love this summer." Dudley said looking like his birthday came early. They started driving away going on to the motorway, when suddenly, his uncle picked up more speed than was posted. Harry knew something wasn't right given that his uncle never drives over the limit, and when he saw his cousin grinning it became clear something was going to happen. Harry looked at his cousin once more, that's when he saw Dudley's grin leave his face and a sneer was replaced. Not having enough time to reach for his wand to get away, before Dudley grabbed his hair and started to slam Harry's head against the window until he was sure Harry couldn't focus, he then opened Harry's door and pushed him out onto the motorway. Harry screamed as he hit the road as his relatives laughed driving away.

Bleeding and unsure what to do or where he was, Harry did the only thing he could think of, thinking of the only person who has always truly been there for him. Harry didn't realize he had apparated to that person until he was looking into the black eyes of his potions Professor. Having lost a lot of blood Harry could only say one word before passing out "Tuney." As the world went black.

Severus prided himself on his wards at home because no one without knowledge of his house could enter. That was until Harry bloody Potter, came into this world and became commonly good at being an exception to all the rules of life. When Severus saw Potter appear right in his front room looking like he'd been run over by a car. After Potter had fell unconscious Severus just stood shocked before kneeling and started to heal the brat.

The young potions master had to get his healing license before he could get his masters, so healing the brat wasn't going to be a problem, or so he thought. As he started doing a full diagnostic his thoughts wondered why Potter would choose to come to him. Why wouldn't he go to his god father or the burrow? That was his thought process until Severus saw Potters results from his diagnostic appear onto parchment.

Severus just stared at the parchment as it continued to show every bump, bruise, and illness that Potter has had from the time he was born. To say he was shocked would be an understatement. Severus started reading the results from when he was two years old until most recent. The more he read the more he realized he had been lied to for the last 17 years. Severus was angry not at Potter, the boy hadn't been lying to him during their lessons, but because of his hatred for the young man's father, he didn't listen. Who did this to Potter he is loved at school for the most part, then remembered Potter's last words "Tuney!" Severus sneered he hadn't heard that name in almost 22 years.

The potions master started to hate that he listened to Dumbledore about Potter being safe with Lily's sister. He knew how Petunia treated Lily for being a witch, he should have known she would treat her nephew the same way or in the life of these results worse.

After healing the life-threatening injuries, the best that he could, Severus got up and went over to the fireplace to call Poppy but knew he couldn't he couldn't call someone who could ignore these types of injuries. The fact that she could have possibly known what Potters home life was like and did nothing meant that someone was covering up the abuse. There was only one person who would do that, and he would get his just deserts soon. Severus needed help, he couldn't go to Hogwarts so that meant his only options were Saint Mungo's or the only healer who would probably rather see Potter dead than heal him. Severus was taking a leap of faith and hoping that if he showed them Potter's results first then maybe it would save not only Potter but himself. Grabbing some floo powder he called out his destination and step out.

Lucius looked up from his paper and suddenly dropped it rushing over to Severus when he saw the look of shock on his friend's face. "Severus, are you ok? What happened?" Lucius asked looking very concerned for he hadn't seen Severus like this in a long time. "You might want to get Cissa and Tom, I only want to explain this once." Severus said trying to figure out what to say as he was deep in thought Lucius had called out for his wife and lord.

"Severus what is this all about?" Cissa asked "Yes I would like to know what is so important." Tom stated they both sat down waiting for Severus to start talking. "I want you all to vow that what I am about to show you won't be judged, this person has tried to tell me about this, but my own judgment took it as a lie." Severus said looking stricken about what he was going to reveal. "You have my word as a healer Severus." Cissa said looking at her husband and their lord. "You have my word as your lord as well even though I have a feeling I'm not going to like it." Tom said knowing he really wasn't going to like what was revealed. "You know you have my word as your friend Severus." Lucius said more concerned about the look of anger that was on Severus face.

Severus grabbed into his robe and pulled out the parchment, he then duplicated it before handing them to his three friends. Then Severus sat down in a chair and waited for everyone's reaction. "I put the person's name at the end of the results, so you have to read all of it." Severus said so that when they were done it was less of a chance for judgment.

After about ten minutes Cissa gasped go up ran out of the room, then came back look at Severus with a nod and with her healer bag she walked to the fireplace said the address and left. Tom's eyes bulged out of his head has it snapped up and looked at Severus. "How could that old goat let this go so far?" Tom said looking angry, sad and worried all in one. "I don't know Tom, he lied to me told me the boy was spoiled and got everything handed to him." Severus said looking even more sick to his stomach. "You know you could have died or lost your magic, that vow could have harmed you both." Tom said getting even more angry at the old goat.

"Tom getting angry wont help, we need to help Potter get away from the goat and talk with his relatives." Lucius said then jumping slightly when Severus started yelling. "I don't want to speak to them! I want to kill them!" Severus yelled pacing back and forth going through all the spells he knew wandlessly. "Lucius didn't you just tell me that I shouldn't get angry." Tom smirked at Severus who started to simmer down back into his chair. "Where did Cissa go?" Lucius said ignoring his lords' comment. "She went to heal Potter. He's in very bad shape, and for some reason choose me to apparate to." Severus said wondering why Potter chose to come to him. "He knows about your vow and has respected you since our third year after you shielded us from Remus." Hermione Granger said appearing in the room with Draco.

"Ah Miss Granger I see your family emergency was a ruse? And what do you mean he knows about my vow? The only person who knew apart from the people in this room are Albus." Severus said looking worried that the brat was eavesdropping and what else had he heard. "He's a telepathy but he watched you make the vow in Dumbledore's pensive, who accidentally left it in the open when he left Harry alone in his office." Hermione explained seeing the surprised look on their face on the topic of Harry being telepathic or were they surprised that Dumbledore left the pensive.

"When did Potter learn about the vow?" Severus asked if Potter has known since his third year it would explain the lack of snark that he had been getting from the boy. "Professor for me to tell you all of this I would need Bella down here as well, after I tell you what and when Harry saw in the pensive another story and conformation needs to be addressed." Hermione said looking at Tom, who nodded and got up to get his wife. Once everyone was seated and Hermione had the floor. "What I am about to tell you is not to be taken lightly or for you lot to place judgement. Harry has always been able to hear everyone's thoughts no matter if they are shielded or not. He didn't tell me about his ability until our third year when he knew for sure I could be trusted. Professor he learned about your vow in his second year after he freed Dobby, Harry was going back up to the headmaster's room to give him back the diary but when he got back Dumbledore wasn't there, only his pensive. Harry had never seen anything like this before and being who he is was curious. He was pulled into the memory of Dumbledore asking you for a Vow of protection for Harry, but that's not the only memory that Harry stumbled on that day."

Breathing for a second and taking a seat next to Draco who handed her a cup of tea she continued. "Harry found out that he wasn't the child of Lily and James Potter and that the real Harry Potter died at childbirth. Harry is a stolen child that Dumbledore took from the only people who he knew would produce a child of extraordinary powers and that if he played things correctly, he could mold said child to die for the wizarding world. The reason I asked for Bella to be present was to ask this question? When was your child taken from you? And how old was he?" Hermione finally finished and asked, "Hadrian was born July 31st, 1980 and was stolen when he was a year old." Bella said sounding sad yet after Miss Grangers story slightly hopeful.

Hermione looked defeated so Harry really was Tom and Bella's son and Severus was Harry's soul bond but didn't know it yet. "I have a memory I must show you that Harry gave me in case he was hurt severely." Hermione said as she grabbed at a vile around her neck. She walked over and handed it to Tom and Bella. Hermione kept the other one meant for Severus until the last minute in case the injuries weren't as bad as she feared.

"You both are to watch it together; Harry didn't want you either alone when watching it." Hermione said becoming very nervous as they poured the vile into the pensive and began to watch. For the next twenty minutes no one spoke, no one moved, everyone waited until the couple finished watching the memories. Once Bella and Tom excited the pensive all you could hear was Bella. "He's a dead man, all to finish the prophecy. How dare he try to do this, that thing wasn't even talking about you." Bella yelled but then spoke again looking at Severus "where is he? I want to see Him."
