Confession, Letters & shopping
Timeskip: July 24th 1991 (5 years later)
It's been 5 years since I came back and was reunited with my mama. It's been the best years of my life. I love my mom more than anything and he loves me back. We've gone on summer trips to our summer homes and to 5 star resorts in other countries. We usually go with the Malfoy's to the resorts. He has introduced me to his colleges at Hogwarts and I see them as family, obviously except Dumblebitch. Mom isn't happy when I swear but is fine when it comes to that asshole.
Dray and I are even closer now and we are attached at the hip, he is extremely protective over me. He even growled at some pureblood girl when she was talking to me. We both finished our pureblood lessons. Learned basic spells, I've learned wordless and wandless magic, which is very easy for me, we're both Fluent in French and even go to Paris a few times a year.
Nothing has really happened besides me having a proper pureblood upbringing and very happy childhood. What is of note is what didn't happen. No one knows Harry Potter is missing. There has been nothing in the daily profit nor Wizengamot about the golden boy going missing. They will be in for a shock.
Mama and I were eating breakfast together in the casual dining room, and talking when 2 owls came through the window, our owl Athena dropping the daily profit off to mom and the other on dropping a letter onto my plate.
I picked it up and saw it was my Hogwarts acceptance letter. I smiled and showed the letter to him. "Got my letter mom." I said, opening the letter. "I see Harrison, that's great. Are you excited?" He replied.
"Excited to get the chance to spend time with my lovely mother without the interruption of him being taken away from me for anytime from most of the day to 3 days. Yes I'm excited." I answered. "Good, and don't go thinking I'm nor happy to see you more as well but you also have to get at least an EE in every class, and stay out of trouble. Dumbledor will do everything he can to get his hands on you, don't even let him think he does." He said. "Don't worry mom, I know better than to even be in a room with him without you, and or 3 fellow Slytherins." I replied.
He smiled then started reading the paper.
Yesterday I had a talk with Death after I realized I was starting to forget my past life, mostly first year thankfully but I started to feel like I should tell mom about my past life. He convinced me that I should and it would be good for me to have someone who wasn't an immortal being to talk to about my past life.
"Mama, there's something I need to tell you." I said after a few minutes. Hearing my tone he put down the daily profit and looked at me worried. "What is it?" He asked. I got up and sat down next to him.
"Mama, I need you to understand everything I'm about to say is the truth." I said. He looked at me very scared and cupped my face. "Harrison, you're scaring me baby. What's wrong?" He asked. I held his hand to my cheek for a few seconds before letting go and holding his hand.
"I wanna tell you how I got to Gringotts that day." I confessed. He looked at me confused but waited for me to continue, rubbing my hand with his thumb.
I took a deep breath. I don't want this to make him hate me like last time. "I was given the port key by King Rangok in 2004 right before being sent back to my body when I was five." I told him, not looking him in the eyes. He squeezed my hand and used his hand to hold me cheek and make him look at me.
"What are you talking about Little snake?" He asked. I started telling everything, from how this wasn't my first time living through this, how I grew up in the Dursley's care until I graduated from Hogwarts, what happened every year, all the manipulations, everything Dumbledor did, the war, how I was tricked into killing my own dad how I didn't find out he was my mom and who my dad was until the day I was sent back, how my wife and 'friends' were using me for money and poisoning me, and finally when I came back, I was terrified he would hate me because he hated me in my past life.
Around when I was talking about second year I started crying but when I was done I was sobbing and mama was holding me in his lap, rubbing my back, holding me, rocking me, and whispering soothing words in my ear. I felt a few tears fall on my head.
We stayed like that for a few minutes until I stopped crying and looked up at him. "Harrison, this wasn't a dream, was it." He said, more a statement then a question. I shook my head no. "OH GODS!" He yelled, hugging me tighter. "You went through all of that? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He asked.
"Originally, I was scared you'd start to hate me like you did last time then when I knew you wouldn't I just wanted a few normal years without people knowing what happened. But with Hogwarts starting and my memories of up to first year starting to get fuzzy, I wanted to tell at least someone and you're my mama, I love and trust you." I answered, burying my face deeper into his chest, he responded by resting his chin on top of my head.
We sat there just enjoying each other's company and warmth.
"Mama, there's something else. Something that I know will make you very happy." I said, looking up at him. "What is it dear?" He asked, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I know how to bring dad back, fully sane." I confessed.
He looked at me shocked for about a minute before hugging me tighter. "Really? You can?" He asked, a huge smile and tearing up again. I nodded. "5 years ago I knew a little but after doing research in Slytherin castle's library when we went there, I fully knew how to, but we need all his horcruxes, the main piece of his soul, and the philosopher's stone. I know where all of the horcruxes are, how to get philosopher's stone, and dad's main soul piece will be showing up this year, in his wraith form, attached to the back of the new DADA teacher's head." I said.
"You really know how we can get your dad back?" He asked, letting the information sink in. "Yes mama." I reassured him.
We spent the entire day just hanging out and enjoying being with each other. We decided that after we go shopping for Hogwarts tomorrow we, mainly him, would tell the Malfoy's about my past life, then he, uncle Lucius, and aunt Cissa would talk about how to revive dad, after I wrote everything down. I will nor be going horcruxes hunting.
The next day:
We met up with the Malfoy's at their manor before we went to Diagon Alley. Uncle Lucius and mama got the day off to take us shopping. Dray and I laughed as we overheard mama grumbling and complaining about 'stupid headmasters trying to stop him from spending time with his son to take stupid mudblood shopping.' It took Nana Miney getting involved and bringing up how she always took her kids and grandkids shopping for Hogwarts to get Dumblefuck to let him take Dray and I shopping.
"I'll take the boys to get their uniforms, Severus you get their books, and Lucius you go get their stationary, then we'll meet up back at Madame Malkin's then go get their wands, before getting everything else." Aunt Cissa instructed, "Yes Narcissa." They said.
We split up and aunt Cissa took Dray and I to Madame Malkin's. When we entered we saw a girl with hair that looked like a bush, just finishing up. With her were two adults who looked like her.
Oh, come on! Really? The Granger's? Already? Do one of the Gods hate me, or does one of them just like drama?!
"Ah, Lady Malfoy, Heir Malfoy, and Heir Prince. I'll be with you in a minute, I just have to finish up with the Grangers." Madame Malkin said. Dray and I looked at each other a bit confused at the name Granger , as they sat down in the waiting chairs.
Hermione smiled at us and quickly walked over to us. After learning and being raised by pureblood customs I realized how weird her approach was. You don't speed walk up to a stranger, especially someone who isn't family, a family friend, or from a higher social status than you.
"Pourquoi vient-elle (Why is she coming over?) " Dray quietly asked. "Je ne sais pas. Vous souvenez-vous du nom Granger de quelque part? (Don't know. Do you remember the Name Granger from anywhere?)" I replied. "J'espère qu'elle est soit une étrangère, soit une née-moldue et pas une sang-de-bourbe. (Hopefully she's either a foreigner or muggleborn and not a mudblood.)" He said.
Another thing I learned. Mudblood doesn't mean muggleborn, but a wixen raised by muggles who brings muggle customs, refuses to learn ours, and insults or tries to get rid of them.
"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger, what are yours?" She asked, smiling and reaching out her hand. Dray and I side-eyed each other before responding. "I am Draco Lucius Malfoy, heir to the ancient and most noble house of Malfoy." He introduced. "I amarrison Thomas Prince, heir to the ancient and most noble house of Prince." I introduced myself.
She looked annoyed and disgusted when we introduced ourselves. "Why do you call yourselves heirs? You're not royalty." She asked, rather rudely.
"sang de bourbe. (Mudblood.)" I said to Dray. "Oui. (Yes.)" He replied.
"What are you two saying?" She asked. "Just that you should actually learn about the society you're entering before you insult it." Dray answered. "That is under the assumption that you are the first in your family to have magic." I added. "I am!" She exclaimed proudly. "I am the first muggleborn in my family. You wizards are stuck in the past if you still have stuff like heirs. You should get with the times." She said.
Dray and I glared at her and I could feel aunt Cissa's furry,
"Or maybe learn our ways, filthy mudblood." Dray said. Granger looked furious and her parents came over, supposedly done with paying. "Mom, dad, they called me a mudblood!" She yelled, pointing at us. "Why would you call our daughter a mudblood?" Mrs. Granger asked, insulted. "Hey lady! Control your kids! They just insulted our daughter for no reason!" Mr. Granger demanded of aunt Cissa. Bad idea.
She put down her magazine and looked Mr. Granger in the eyes. She calmly stood up prompting Dray and I to as well. "Maybe your mudblood daughter wouldn't be insulted if she knew how to speak to her betters and not to insult our ways." She said, before we walked up to madame Malkin, leaving them speechless, quickly leaving to go to their next stop.
"Draco, Harrison, bon travail pour garder votre calme. (Draco, Harrison, good job keeping calm.)" She congratulated us.
Once we were done mama and uncle Lucius had arrived and we decided to go get our wands from Ollivander's.
"Hello there Lord, Lady, and Heir Malfoy, and Lord and Heir Prince. Who's getting their wand today?" He asked. Draco grabbed my hand and we stepped up. "Great, let's start with Heir malfoy, please extend your wand hand." Ollivander said.
Draco extended his right arm as he measured it. He went over and grabbed a box and brought it over to us. "12 inch, oak wood, and veala hair core." He presented the wand to Dray. He picked it up and flicked it causing a shelf to fall over.
"Not that one." He said, taking the wand. He brought another one over. "9 inch, hawthorn wood, with veala hair core." He said. Draco picked it up and flicked it, this time causing a bunch of wand boxes to come flying our direction. We all ducked but uncle Lucius was too slow, causing him to get hit in the face by three boxes. Aunt Cissa helped him up while mama, Dray, and I tried to hold back our laughter.
"Ok, this one should do the trick. 10 inch, hawthorn wood, with a unicorn hair core." He said, presenting Draco with a third wand. He picked it up and fireworks shot out from the tip.
"The wand has chosen. Reasonably springy" He said, smiling. Both his parents placed a hand on either of his shoulders before stepping back.
"Now it's your turn, Heir Prince." He said. I extended my right arm as he measured it. He went over and brought back a wand. "11 inch, redwood, with werewolf hair core." He said. I touched the wand and it flew off into the store.
He grabbed a new wand and presented it to me. "11 inch, black palm wood, and a mermaid scale core." He said. I picked up the wand and it shot out a powerful blast, causing everyone to duck. Mama took the wand and put it back on the counter. "You are gonna be a tricky one, Heir Prince."
He had me try 20 more wands. Draco sat on the floor next to me, trying to avoid any of the blasts but refusing to leave my side, while mama, aunt Cissa, and uncle Lucius were behind a barrier, uncle idiot hiding behind his wife because he kept getting hit.
"Ok, I'm sure this ones going to work. 11 inch ebony wood, basilisk fang core." He put down the wand before hiding behind the desk.
I picked it up and felt electricity go through my body as fireworks came out of the tip. "No blast?" Uncle idiot asked. "The wand has chosen. Both ebony wood and basilisk fang are two of the darkest wand making tools, use this wand carefully, it's meant for powerful darkness." He Ollivander said.
"How much for both and a wand holster for both of them?" Mama asked. "20 galleons." He answered.
Our parents paid for our stuff and we left.
"Where to next?" I asked, Dray holding my hand again. "Lucius is going to get your potion and astronomy supplies, while the four of us go pick out your familiars." Aunt Cissa answered. "Why am I the one being sent off?" He asked. "Because you're still banned after the incident in third year." Mama said. "What happened in third year?" Dray and I asked.
"Something we all swore never to speak of again. I'll go get the supplies." Uncle Lucius said before walking off.
"What animals would you boys like?" Aunt Cissa asked. "Just a normal barn owl." Dray answered. "An owl as well and what dad and I agreed on." I said, smirking. Mama groaned at that.
Earlier that day:
"Snake!"
"No."
"Snake!"
"No."
"Can I take Grandma Nagini?"
"No."
"Why not?" I asked. "It's not an approved animal, and you'll use it to scare other students. Mama answered, finally looking up from the daily profit. "So I also get an owl or borrow one from the owlery for my school pet and hide the snake and make sure no one outside of Slytherin sees it." I argued. "What if someone complains to another teacher or the headmaster?" He asked, trying to prove a point.
I just stared at him. "What Slytherin, self respecting or not, would tattle to a teacher, much less about their head of house's son, who is also the dark lord's son. Every child of a death eater was told who dad's consort is and they know or will know who his son is." I retaliated. He just looked at me, hopefully realizing I was right. "Lucius did say you were doing good when he taught you politics." He noted.
Fine, just not a basilisk. There's already one under the school." He finally relented. "YES!"
We got to the pet shop and went straight to the owls. Dray and I split up to look at the owl before we both stopped at a cage that held two owls. The one I was looking at was a bit smaller, light brown and gray feathers, its feathers looked very soft and fluffy, and with piercing emerald green eyes. The other one that Draco was looking at was a bit bigger, dark brown and light gray feathers, its feather's looked smooth, with piercing ice blue eyes.
"Did you two find ones you like?" Aunt Cissa asked. "Yes, they seem to like each other as well." Dray answered. The two owls were nuzzling each other. "Yes, they seem to be. I'll go get an employee." Mama said, walking off.
A few minutes later mama came back with a female employee. "Well meet Lady and Heir Malfoy, and Lord and Heir Prince. Sounds like you've chosen two owls today." She said. "Yes, these two." I said.
"These are two of our long-eared owls. We've had a hard time selling these two because they refuse to be suppurated for more than a day." She said. "That won't be a problem with these two. Draco, go pick out some owl supplies." Aunt Cissa said. Draco went to pick out the stuff and the employee grabbed the cage, bringing the owls to the front.
"Harrison, you can go pick out a snake now." Mama said. I walked off to the reptile section.
There were a bunch of tanks with many species of snakes of many colors. ~"Ssssstupid human. Don't even think about touching one of my hatchlingsssss."~ A female voice hissed. I looked around and saw a black snake with green and red stripes looking at me. She also was surrounded by a bunch of smaller snakes.
Oh, a mother snake. ~"Hello there."~ I hissed as I approached her. ~"A ssssspeaker? It'sssss been 10 yearsssss sssssincccce newsssss of the lassssst ssssspeaker."~ He hissed, looking at me with interest.
~"I believe you are talking about my father."~ I replied. "Really? I heard of great thingsssss he did. Are you looking for a familiar?"~ She asked. ~"Yesssss."~ I answered. !"Pleassssse take one of my babiesssss. I trussssst you would take care of them. I am a fire sssssnake with green fire and the sssssnake I wasssss bred with wasssss a black mamba, very venomousssss"~ She requested.
I smiled at her then looked at the younger snakes. My eyes landed on one a bit bigger than the rest, all black scales with a green shimmer to them. The little snake looked up at me, letting me see its bright red eyes.
~"Hello there little one."~ I hissed. The little snake slithered closer to me and put its face right in front of me. ~"Hello ssssspeaker."~~"Ssssshe isssss one of my eldessssst."~ The mother snake said.
"Have you picked one yet, Harrison?" Mama asked, the employee with him.. "Yes dad." I answered, standing up straight. "Which one?" The employee asked. "The baby one with black scales with a tint of green, and red eyes." I pointed at the little snake.
She put on some gloves and took out the snake, placing her into a transportation box, then walking towards the counter with her.
~"Ssssspeaker, promissssse you will take care of her."~ The mother snake said. ~"I promissssse."~ I replied.
We paid for the animals and supplies, then met back up with uncle Lucius before going back to Malfoy manor. Aunt Cissa had her house elf send both owls up to the owlery.
"Did you two enjoy yourselves?" Uncle Lucius asked as we exited the floo. "Yes." Dray and I answered.
Mama gave me the container holding my new snake. I opened it and let him slither onto my hand and wrap himself around my wrist. "You really let him get a snake?" Uncle Lucius asked. "He's pretty." Dray said. "He made a convincing argument." Mama defended himself.
"Have you two decided on names for your owls and Harrison, your snake?" Aunt Cissa asked. "I was thinking about Persephone for mine." I answered. "I was thinking about Hades or Pluto." Dray answered. "You should call him Hades so their names match." I said, smiling, which he returned. I saw the adults side-eye each other at Dray and I's conversation.
"What about your snake Harrison, what breed is he?" Mama asked. "His mom said she he's a mix of a fire snake that can make green flames and a black mamba. I haven't decided on a name yet. ~Do you have a name?"~ I replied. ~"No. You are sssssupposed to choossssse one."~. I thought for a moment before replying. ~"What do you think about Loki? That'sssss the name of a Norssssse trixssssster god."~ I suggested. ~"I like it."~ Loki replied. "His name is Loki." I said, as Loki laid his head on the back of my hand.
"Harrison, do you want to tell them now?" Mama asked me. "Tell us what?" Dray asked, hugging me from behind. "Harrison told me something yesterday that you should all hear." Mama replied. "What is it?" Aunt Cissa asked, worry seeping into her voice. "Everyone should sit down first."
Draco, mama, and I sat down on the couch, Draco refusing to let go of me. While Aunt Cissa and Uncle Lucius sat down on the love seat.
"Sev, Harrison, is something wrong?" Aunt Cissa asked. Mama and I looked at each other, then he started telling them what I told him yesterday, while I cuddled into Draco as Loki moved onto my shoulder.
When he was finished Draco was holding me tightly, Uncle Lucius looked shocked, and aunt Cissa was tearing up. "Oh Harrison. That stupid headmaster was so cruel. I'm glad we got to be with you this time." She said, walking over, and sitting in front of me.
"Dumbledor is even crazier than we thought. How are we dark and him light if he does despicable stuff like that to kids, much less someone everyone thought was supposed to be their savior." Uncle Lucius said. "The only good thing is he knows how to revive Marvolo." mama said.
Mama is really happy at the idea of seeing dad again.
"There are 6 horcruxes. The one with half of his soul is in the diary he gave uncle Lucius." I said. His eyes went wide in recognition. "I'll go grab it." He said before running out of the room.
"Harrison, what other ones are there?" aunt Cissa asked. "The Gaunt Ring, Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup, Salazar Slytherin’s Locket, Rowena Ravenclaw’s Diadem, and he accidently made me one when he was defeated. It caused part of his soul to break off and attached itself to me, well more my scar." I explained. Both their eyes went wide when I said that.
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell him I am a horcruxes.
Mama grabbed my face and moved my hair to look at my scar. "Cissa, is there any way to remove it?" He asked. "The goblins should be able to." She answered.
"I got it." Uncle Lucius said, as he entered with the diary. "Can I see it?" I asked. He nodded and handed it and a quill to me "Look at this." I said, opening the diary. everyone watched as I wrote in it.
Hello Tom Marvolo Riddle,
My name is Harrison Thomas Riddle-Prince.
I'm your son.
Everyone watched as the writing disappeared and was replaced with different writing in different handwriting.
Are you really? I've heard about you
from the other horcruxes and main soul.
Last I heard you were missing and the main
soul piece was going to get you back.
"Harrison, what is this?" mama asked. "It's dad's first horcruxes. if you write in the diary the horcruxes can respond. From what he said, it seems he knows everything." I answered. Mama looked at the book shocked, tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
I'm gonna give the book to mama.
It looks like he really misses you.
I miss him too, but I expect you to
come back and tell me about yourself.
"Mama." I said, offering the diary and quill to him. He looked at the diary for a few seconds before gently grabbing it and the quill. "Harrison, get your stuff. It's time for us to head home." he said.
We grabbed my stuff and said our goodbyes then flood home. He and Tissy helped me pack all my supplies and uniforms into my trunk. We ate dinner then Mama and I went to bed.
A little something extra: Severus' POV
"Good night little snake." I told my son. "Good night mama." He replied.
I quietly shut my son's door and went to mine. Climbing into bed, opening my husband's old diary. I took a deep breath before writing.
Marvolo?
It's me Sev. Are you there?"
Sev?
My Severus? My beautiful consort?
Is this really you?
I felt myself tearing up. He loved to call me his consort and made sure every death eater referred to me as 'My Lord's consort'. If any of the outer circle called me anything else he would 'crucio' them.
Yes Marvolo. It's me.
I miss you so much.
I miss you too
my love
we will be reunited soon and
I will get to hold both you and
our son. Tell me, what does he look like?
He looks like you but with black hair,
my eyes, nose, and skin tone. He can
speak Parseltongue, he even convinced me
to get him a snake. He can use wandless,
and wordless magic. He is very smart and sweet.
The Malfoy's and I have a bet on if he and Draco will
get together in the future.
He sounds great. I can't wait to meet him.
He can't wait to meet you either.
It's late my love, you need to get some sleep.
I want to talk to you. It's been over 10 years.
I know my love. We can talk more tomorrow.
You need to make sure you get enough rest.
I may not be there physically but I can still tell
you are exhausted and need sleep.
I miss you.
I miss you too. I will see you again soon.
Good night, my consort.
Good night, my lord.
I closed the diary and placed it on my nightstand. Just as I settled in, I heard my door open. "Harrison? Is something wrong?" I asked. "Can I sleep with you tonight?" He asked, shyly. I smiled softly and adjusted the blanket. "Come on, baby." I gestured for him to hop in. He smiled and jumped into bed and cuddled into me. I laid the blanket over him, wrapping my arm around him. and pulling him into my chest. "Good night mama." "Good night little snake."
