Ice cream and red Heads
We went to Florean fortescue's Ice cream Parlor. I got a strawberry cone, Draco got a butterbeer cone, Aunt Cissa got a pomegranate frozen yogurt, and uncle Lucius got a pumpkin juice cone.
We sat down at a table, surrounded by a few other families also enjoying a day out. "So Harrison, how are you adjusting to everything?" Aunt Cissa asked. "Well, it's still a big shock. Just two days ago I was living with muggles and didn't know anything about magic, and now I have people who care about me and I really like it. mama is really nice and he loves me." I answered, smiling.
"That's amazing dear. Sev and us will always look out for you." She said, putting her hand on mine, giving me a small but gentle and comforting smile.
"I've got it." Draco said with a smile, grabbing all of our attention. "Got what Draco?" Uncle Lucius asked. "A nickname for Harrison. I've been trying to come up with one since we left the music store, and I finally decided on one." He said proudly. "What is it?" I asked. "Hades or Hare-bear."
"I like them." I said, smiling.
I moved from my seat into his and hugged him. He immediately hugged me back.
"Looks like the Malfoy's got a charity case." a woman said. We all looked to see Molly Weasley with Ron and Ginny next to her, all three looking at us with hatred and amusement in their eyes. Their eyes look like Vernon's when he would give me a bad beating.
I hid in Draco's chest as he wrapped his arms tighter around me.
3rd person POV
"What do you want, Weasley?" Narcissa aske, very annoyed. "I'm just taking my two youngest for ice cream while my husband hangs out with the other five. Then I'm met with 2 filthy death eaters, their spawn, and some charity case kid." She said, voice filled with venom. All other other customers quickly got up and left while all of this was going on.
"How dare you call him a charity case! He is my godson, Heir to the most ancient and noble house of Prince. You FILTHY blood traitors have No right to talk about him like that!" Lucius yelled, neither him nor his wife caring they let their masks slip or are making a scene.
"Since when is there a Lord and Lady Prince?!" Molly screeched. "Not that it's any of your business but it's Snape. He claimed his lordship and changed his name when he found out he had a son after his son's mom died and it was found he is Harrison's only living family member." Lucius said. "So he's a bastard orphan?" Ron asked, smiling. "Yes bastard!" Ginny exclaimed.
"How dare you little brats call one of your betters that!" Narcissa yelled. "DON'T YELL AT MY KIDS YOU BITCH!" Molly screamed. "Well maybe you should teach them how to address their betters." Narcissa replied.
"You aren't our betters and what are you even doing here?" Molly demanded. "Is it a crime to take our son and godson shopping?" Lucius asked, "Pretty sure that's what you said you and your kids are doing here." Narcissa added, cheekily. "Ugh, yo-"
"Mommy, what's that case?" Ginny asked, pointing at Harrison's violin. Draco quickly got down, pulled it behind him, then guided Harrison down and pulled him into his chest, wrapping his arms around him, protectively. Harrison responded by gripping Draco's shirt and burying his head into the nook of his neck.
"Awww, is the new little death eater bastard also a little crybaby. Having to be protected by the Malfoy death eater spawn?" Ron taunted. The Malfoy's and Harrison glared at the boy, but before anyone could do anything the door swung open to reveal 6 other redheads.
"Molly, what's going on and why can I hear you yelling from the stationary shop?" Arthur asked, followed by his 3 oldest who looked extremely embarrassed and the twins who looked around before stopping and looking at Harrison with worry.
"All I did was take Ron and Ginny to get Ice cream and we ran into the Malfoy's, and they started being rude and shouting." She replied, trying to sound innocent. "You lying bitch!" Lucius exclaimed. "We were just enjoying ice cream with our son and godson when your wife came in here and called our godson a charity case!" Narcissa exclaimed.
Arthur looked at his wife horrified while the other Weasley kids looked like they were going to die of embarrassment and shame.
"You called a child a charity case?" Arthur asked, in disbelief.
"You really believe them over me?" Molly asked, offended. "Considering I've never seen either Malfoy even raise their voice, especially in public, and they were yelling and looking furious, yes, I believe them." Arthur replied. Molly looked pissed and stormed out, Ron and Ginny following right behind her.
Once Molly left Fred and George went over to check on Draco and Harrison. "I am so very sorry for my wife's words and actions." Arthur apologized. "make sure it doesn't happen again." Lucius replied before Arthur left to find his wife.
-------------------Lucius, Narcissa, Bill, Charlie, and Percy section----------------
"Aren't you going to follow your parents?" Lucius asked the three eldest Weasley's. "I would like to ask a question and apologies as well for our mother and siblings actions taken against you and-" Bill said, not knowing the other kids name. "Heir Prince, Harrison Prince. That's his name." Narcissa said, both Malfoy's putting their masks back on.
"Yes, We are sorry for the actions taken against your family and Heir Prince." Bill apologized. "Thank you for your apology but you do not have to apologize for the actions of someone of your house while you are an heir, you are not yet Lord Weasley. Now what is your question, heir Weasley?" Lucius replied.
Bill paused before asking, "I found an old photograph of you, Lord Malfoy, and our father as kids. Were you friends?"
Lucius and Narcissa didn't respond, Narcissa barely showing shock and Lucius trying to hold back sadness. "Yes we were." He answered. "What happened?" Charlie asked, all three Weasley's wide eyed. "I'm not sure. We were friends for years, but 6 years ago, after Fabian and Gideon Prewett went missing he stopped contacting me even when I reached out and a week later I got news he married Molly." He answered.
The three Weasley's looked confused. "But mom and dad were married right out of Hogwarts." Percy said, looking up at his brothers. Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other.
"You kids might want to get checked out for spells and compulsions, especially to see if you've been obliviated. a legilimency specialist would be best." Narcissa explained. "Where can we find one?" Charlie asked. "Severus is the best legilimence we know, and he's your potions professor." Lucius answered. "Oh, and he just took up his lordship and last name. He is now Severus Prince, not Severus Snape." Narcissa added.
"Prince? Does that mean he is that boy's dad?" Percy asked, referring to Harrison. Both Malfoys nodded but before they could answer there was a loud and joyous laugh.
----------------------Harrison, Draco, George, and Fred section(Back to Harrisons POV)----------------------
George talking,Fred talking, both talking
While Arthur chased after Molly out the door the Weasley twins went over to Draco and I. I was still gripping Draco's shirt and Draco still had his arms wrapped around me. Still terrified at how Molly was looking at me. I thought she was kind and motherly like she was in my last life. I didn't know her, Ron, and Ginny could be so cruel.
"Hello there you-" "Two. are you-" "Ok?" The twins asked. "What do you want?" Draco asked, glaring at the identical redheads. We wanted-" "To see if-""he is ok." They answered.
"The red haired lady, I didn't like how she was looking at me. I thought she was gonna hurt me." I whimpered, looking up from Draco's chest. "Hades just got removed from a bad situation 2 days ago." Draco said softly, probably remembering what we overheard the adults saying earlier, and rubbing circles on my back in a soothing manner.
"We are so so sorry for what she did. Is there anything we can do to help?" They asked, obviously very ashamed of what their mother and younger siblings did.
Draco and I looked at each other then back at the twins. The twins are god. That's amazing. They always were great friends and very funny.
"Hey,-""What's your-""name?" They asked, crouching down to my eye level. I smiled, loosened my grip on Draco, and smiled at them. Causing Draco to loosen his grip on me, very slightly but still.
"Harrison, Harrison Prince." I answered. They both smiled at that. "That makes you-""A little Prince.""We claim you as our little prince!" They exclaimed proudly, one rubbed my head while the other boopped me on the nose. I smiled up at both of them. Draco slightly tightened his grip around me.
"What are your names?" I asked. "George.""Fred." They answered. Their eyes went wide like they just realized something. They pulled out a few boxes of chocolate frogs, causing my eyes to go wide, have Draco let me out of his grip, and step closer to them.
"You can-""Have one-""Any." They said, offering the chocolate. I smiled and grabbed one with a black sticker on it. They looked panicked when they saw the sticker. "Wait-""Not-""That one." They said, a second too late.
I opened the box and was hit in the face with a bunch of glitter. I froze in shock as the twins started to apologize and explain what happened. "That box was meant-""For our brother Ron.""We planned to prank him with that box.""We didn't mean-""To give you-""That box."
They stopped when I started smiling and bursted out laughing. I felt everyone in the room look at me. "Harrison, what happened?" Aunt Cissa asked. "That was funny." I replied. "Getting hit in the face with a bunch of glitter is funny?" Draco asked. "Well i would like it to be not me, but it was funny." I answered, still smiling. "You really_""like our-""jokes and pranks?" They asked, huge smiles.
I nodded. "You should keep doing them, but not on me. You should call yourselves demons and work on not getting caught." I said. I always loved their pranks, but never understood why they didn't care about getting caught.
The twins looked at each other then back to me, before picking me up in a hug. "You're our little Prince now." They said, causing me to laugh. "Fred, George, you can't just claim him as yours. Now, put him down." Bill said. The twins made disappointed noises and put me down.
"Well meet Heir Prince, Hair Malfoy, my name is William Weasley, these are my brothers Charlie, Percy, and you've already met Fred and George." Bill said. "Well meet Heir Weasley. Call me Harrison. You guys seem nice, not like the other three." I said. "In that case call me Bill. Again, I am so sorry for how my mom and youngest siblings." He replied. "It's ok. You guys are nice. They were mean." I replied.
"You are really sweet." Charlie said. "Are you sure he's Professor Sna- Lord's kid?" Bill asked Uncle Lucius and Aunt Cissa. They smiled but nodded. "There was an inheritance test involved. We met him yesterday because not even Severus knew about him." Aunt Cissa said. "Hades is a bit quiet but sweet." Draco said, hugging me.
"Boys, what are you still doing here?" Arthur asked, coming in. "Hey dad, we were apologizing to Harrison and I think the twins have gotten attached." Bill answered.
Arthur looked at the twins, for them to smile and hug me. He smiled then turned to me. "I never got your name." He told me, giving me a gentle smile. "Harrison Prince." I said. "Who are your parents?" He asked. "S-sev-Severus." I answered, taking a second for me to pronounce it. He looked at me then aunt Cissa and uncle Lucius wide eyed. "This sweet looking kid is Snape's kid?" He asked.
"Get used to this Harrison. A lot of people are gonna have that reaction when they find out Severus is your dad." Aunt Cissa told me. "Yes, he has a kid and is now Lord Prince." Uncle Lucius answered Arthur.
"Well, heir prince, I'm sorry for what my wife called you. If you'd like, I'd like to buy you and heir Malfoy some ice cream sometime next week to try to make up for it." He offered. I smiled up at him. "Can you also bring Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George?" I asked. "I'm sure they'd love that." He replied, looking at his sons.
"Yes/Of course/Yeah." all 5 agreed. "Dad, can we-""Hangout with-" "Harrison sometime?" The twins asked. "I'm ok with it but we'd need his dad's permission." He answered.
"We will ask him." Uncle Lucius said. The twins got excited and hugged me again.
"This is nice, however, We have to go. Boys, I would suggest avoiding your mom for a bit." He said. The Weasley boys looked annoyed at hearing the part about their mom. We all said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.
Due to the scene at the ice cream shop we just went back home to Riddle manor.
"MAMA!" I called as we entered. After a few seconds without an answer, aunt Cissa decided to call Tissy. "Tissy."
The house elf 'popped' in. "Welcome back young master and master friends. What can Tissy do for you?" She asked. "Can you please get mama?" I asked. "Tissy shall do that young master. She 'popped' away and a few minutes later mama entered the living room.
"Mama!!" I yelled, running into his arms. He picked me up and kissed my cheek before resting me on his hip. "Hey little snake. Did you enjoy your shopping trip? You guys are back a bit earlier than I expected." He said. "We got me new clothes, then I got a violin, then we got ice cream." I told him smiling. "That sounds fun, we're gonna have to find you a teacher for the violin." He replied.
"We were planning to stay out longer but we ran into the Weasley family and that will probably be in the daily profit tomorrow." Uncle Lucius said. "What happened?" mama asked, worried. "We specifically ran into Molly and her two kids while we were getting ice cream. She called Harrison a 'charity case' and a screaming match ensued." Uncle Lucius answered.
Mama squeezed me tighter when he heard what I was called. "Though, when Arthur entered he got mad at Molly. She and her kids left, he apologized then left behind her. His 5 older kids also apologized and the twins quickly befriended him, and slightly Draco too. Also the twins want to hangout with Harrison more and Arthur wants to buy the boys ice cream next week." Aunt Cissa added.
Mama looked surprised, then looked at me. "Do you wanna hangout with the twins? Did you make some friends today?" he asked. I nodded. "Demon are my new friends and Bill, Charlie, and Percy are nice." I said. He looked at me then at the Malfoy's confused. "Demons?" Draco and Aunt Cissa laughed, "The twins are the demons. They accidently gave Hades a chocolate frog they planned to give to their rude brother. His face got covered in glitter but Hades found it funny." Draco said.
"Looks like you two had a fun day, and yes you can hangout with your friends and I'll come next week as well." He said. I smiled and hugged him in response.
"Sev, can I borrow Tissy to help get Harrison's new wardrobe? We had it sent to Malfoy Manor to avoid suspicion." Uncle Lucius asked. Mama agreed and called Tissy. She and uncle Lucius flood to Malfoy Manor, leaving the four of us.
"Mama, can we see my room?" I asked. "Yes, come on Cissa and Draco, you can come too." He said, motioning for them to follow. Aunt Cissa picked up Draco and followed behind.
"Sev, would you like me to give Harrison pureblood lessons. I will be starting with Draco this September but have already started teaching him his mask." She offered. "That would be great and I'll teach him his mask." Mama replied. "Pureblood lessons?" I asked. "They are stuff all pure bloods learn as kids, from etiquette, to basic spells, to how to act in public. Purebloods have these lessons until they go to Hogwarts or some other magic school. Hogwarts is where I work as the potions professor and Slytherin head of house." He explained.
I looked up at him in amazement. "Uncle Sev is the youngest even potion master." Draco said, smiling wide. Mama nodded in confirmation.
"Oh mama, Draco mentioned something earlier." I said. "What was it, little snake?" He asked. "He said we can talk to ghosts during Samhain, can we talk to dad?" I asked. He looked a bit sad, not at me but at the question. "Unfortunately I've tried, but can't reach him. Something is blocking me from reaching him." he replied.
I looked down upset then looked back up at him. "What about the Potter's?" I asked. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Can we ask them what they know about who took me?" I asked. He and Aunt Cissa exchanged a look. "I haven't tried. Do you wanna try to ask them?" He asked. I nodded up at him.
I want to know what the people that I spent most of my previous life thinking were my parents, knew about who my real parents were, and if they had any part in taking me.
We soon arrived at my room which I noticed the hallway was familiar. "Your room is right next to mine, in case you need anything." Mama said, before opening the door.
Inside was a king sized bed decorated in dark green silk, looking very comfortable. With black curtains, a nightstand with a plant on it, a black fluffy rug and the the bamboo floor tiles, a book shelf filled with many books, kids on the bottom and chapter books on the top, definitely for when I'm older, 2 black double doors, 1 on each side, a big bay window, with a place to sit inside but also led out to the balcony, and 3 gray walls and 1 painted Slytherin green.
"I LOVE IT!" I screamed. mama put me down and I ran up onto my bed and jumped into it. A few seconds later Draco also came onto my bed and hugged me. We both started laughing and playing on my bed, and checking out my room.
Turns out the doors on the left lead to a beautiful black marble bathroom, with a snake design, with a hot tub sized bathtub. Just my bathroom is the size of Dudley's old second room.
The other doors lead to a huge walk in closet, currently empty since my clothes haven't arrived yet. When Draco opened one of the mirror doors, jumped back and screamed. I looked at him and our moms ran in.
"What happened?" Aunt Cissa, asked. "There's a big snake!" Draco exclaimed. A big and long, dark scaled snake with stripes' head came out and looked around at everyone. It looks familiar.
~What are thessssse humanssssss doing in massssster and masssster'sssss conssssortssssss' childssssss room?~ The snake asked, ah that's where I remember her, this is Nagini. ~Thisssss issssss my room. What are you doing in here?~ I hissed back.
~Are you Harrissssson?~She hissed, coming closer to me. I nodded. ~You have grown in the few yearssssss. I am Nagini, your dadssssss familiar. You have the sssspeaker gift assss well.~ She hissed.
"So this is where you've been Nagini." Mama said, coming up next to me. "You can speak parseltongue, just like your dad." He said, hugging me. "Is that why I can understand her?" I asked. He nodded. ~Hatchling, pleasssse tell your mom that I have been here, waiting for you.~ She requested.
I told him what she said which he was happy about. A few minutes later Uncle Lucius, Tissy, and another house elf entered with my clothes. They were quickly put away and we all went to the kitchen to eat. Life is gonna be great.
