"My Mummy's Diary.."
- August 3rd, 1996, Sunday
Severus Tobias Prince looked at the small child, who, to his knowledge, was 6 years old as of Thursday. Yet, he looked more like a toddler in size. In his young eyes, however, he held intelligence like his mother's—something soon to be shown as truth.
"How did you find me?" He asks slowly, not quite sure how to handle the child in his presence.
"My mummy's diary. S-said you were friends." He paused before tears swelled in his eyes. "Please don't make me g-go back! Petunia mean, Dudley b-blame me...V-Vernon huwts me! Please, mister!"
Severus held back a snarl threatening to leave his throat. Albus said he was safe! Yet his son was left with Petunia! Safe wasn't the right word to describe that home for Lily's son.
So, instead of letting out the snarl he moved low, sitting upon the ground, and held out his arms. He watched as he flinched at the movement before slowly yet surely climbing into his lap and allowing Severus to hold him.
Severus hated that this was the first time he was holding his son. The son Lily kept from him. He held him firmly in place.
"I will protect you. Daddy is here," he whispers softly. Daddy has you now, my sweet snake."
That day, the two each came to a realization themselves.
Severus realized his Grandfather was right. That Albus was willing to do anything to gain power. Even harm a child or send the child into harm.
The boy, whose real name was Hadrian Severus Prince, realized that he had someone to love him. He finally had a dad—the same man from his dreams. He was home.
Over the next week, the two took time to truly get to know each other, especially since Severus made it clear Hadrian was there to stay.
On Monday, they set up his room. It had Slytherin green walls, dark brown wooden floors, a twin-sized bed, a bedside table, and a small desk and chair.
The bed had a black wooden bed frame, forest green sheets, and a Slytherin green comforter with a silver snake on it.
Severus knew at that moment when his son picked the Slytherin colors that he was a Slytherin.
On Tuesday, Severus took his son to Gringotts for the first time.
"Ah, Lord Prince," began Griphook as he walked into his office. "How may I help you today?"
Severus showed Griphook the sleeping child in his lap. They came early to avoid too many people. Hadrian still looked like Harry Potter, so they had a list of what to do today.
First was the glamour removal. It would take away what glamour Lily placed on him.
Second, there was the inheritance test. It would help him see what all his sons would inherit, even if he had a possible creature inheritance or magical abilities.
Third, a list of all medical information. Something Severus was afraid of reading.
Fourth was getting all the information updated. He would make a new birth certificate for his son. It would include Lucius and Narcissa as his Godparents and Draco as his Godbrother.
Lastly, he would get a school vault set up for him.
"Ah, today is the day, yes?"
Griphook, 2nd son of Naggoff, Emperor of all Goblinkind; husband and mate to Ragnork, King of the Goblins of Europe, has always been in the know of the Prince's situation. Unknown to most was that Griphook handled the Potter, Prince, and Black accounts. His husband ran Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Pendragon, Le Fay, and Emrys personally. All the houses that would be united under one Heir that day.
"Yes. I have called the Malfoys, and they should arrive shortly."
"They will be the child's Godparents?"
"Yes."
Griphook nodded and quickly did the Goblin spell to undo the glamour. It was simple, non-verbal, and only used in dire situations. Thankfully, Griphook knew how dire this was.
Severus Prince smiled as he noticed how his son truly looked. He had Lily's pale skin and freckles and his black hair lengthened to his shoulders. Checking his eyes, they turned to a dark, forest-like green—a perfect mix of both his parents.
Next, he had to wake Hadrian up. Severus hated to wake his son, but it was necessary for the rest. It took a few minutes, but finally, the young boy woke up smiling softly.
Griphook explained that he needed to make a small cut on his finger and drop 3 drops on one parchment and 6 on the other. Hadrian only did so after his Daddy confirmed that it was okay.

At 10 o'clock sharp, three figures came into the office.
First was Lord Lucius Abraxas Malfoy, a tall, platinum-blonde, long-haired man with a cane with a snake-head handle. He wore a dark green button-up shirt, black pants, and a black closed robe.
Next to him on his arm was Lady Narcissa Cassiopeia Malfoy née Black. A tall, golden blonde, long-haired woman who reminded Hadrian of royalty. She had on a dark green dress with black robes that were opened from the waist down.
Holding her hand was the young Heir, Draco Lucius Malfoy. He was a child of 6 with his dad's platinum blonde hair and his mum's blue eyes mixed with his dad's silver. He wore a tiny Slytherin green sweater with black pants.
Hadrian smiled as he saw Draco. Immediately, he jumped from his Dad's arms and hugged the blonde, who hugged him back. Draco looked at his Mum and Dad with a smug look.
"See! Told you he looked like Uncle Sevy! Magic only hides!" Draco exclaimed happily.
Narcissa chuckles softly. "So you were truthful, Little Dragon." She kneels before the boys. "Hi, I am your Godmother. You can call me Aunt Cissa."
Severus, as Narcissa talked to the boys, gave Lucius a questioning look. One the man met with a smirk. Lucius quickly informed him how Draco wanted to join a muggle school for his studies, such as maths. After a lot of discussion, they found one with wizards running the school. Ironically, Hadrian was in Draco's class. The two quickly became close friends when Draco announced to his parents that magic hid Hadrian looking like Severus.
On Wednesday, Narcissa, Draco, Severus, and Hadrian went clothes shopping. Both muggle and wizard.
He got 14 muggle shirts, 7 dress shirts, and 7 non-dress shirts. He also got 8 pairs of pants, five jeans and 3 dress pants, a pair of trainers, and a pair of dress shoes. He also had plenty of undergarments and such.
Next, they got him 14 robes: four dress robes, all closed, and 10 everyday robes, five open and five closed. Overall, Narcissa was satisfied. For now, the woman would take them shopping again.
On Thursday, Hadrian got to meet Grandma Minnie, who swore she would get him on the Gryffindor path. At least after she and Severus talked about how to deal with Albus during the school year since Hadrian will live with Severus in his quarters.
"I am legally his guardian, Minnie," he says happily. "I finally have my son home with me."
"So Albus cannot take him from you?" Her voice was soft and caring. Just as it had been for years. She was one of the few who truly knew his relationship with Lily Evans.
"No. Not without going back on his word." He smirks. "My grandfather would have been proud."
"Yes, I imagine William would have been. Your father will be proud as well. Should I know Thomas as I have." She smiles, sipping her tea. "He looks a lot like you."
"He does, doesn't he? With a good mix of Lily as well."
Finally, that Friday, Hadrian got to make more friends. He met:
Miss Pansy Parkinson
Heiress Daphne Greengrass
Miss Astoria Greengrass
Heir Gregory Goyle
Heir Vincent Crabbe
Heir Theodore Nott
His mate, Heir Blaise Zabini
Heir Neville Longbottom
Heiress Luna Lovegood
Heiress Susan Bones
And Heiresses Parvati and Padma Patil.
What no one realized at the time, besides Seer Pandora Lovegood née Malfoy, was that these children would soon change the Wizarding world.
