The Slytherin King(WBWL)/ Discontinued

chapter 4

Recap

James looked over his son with a proud look in his eyes. He had to admit Hadrian grew up beautifully despite everything. The young man before him was the epitome of grace and beauty. Perfect posture, long dark hair and those mesmerizing green eyes. He gazed over every inch of his Son as if drinking in his looks like he would never see them again. Lily potter doing the same.

Harry broke the tense silence with a cough. He had waited for this moment for a while but now that it was here he honestly had to admit to himself that he was frightened. Would they like him? Would they care that he was in Slytherin? A million questions were running through his head.. what he didn't expect however was James Potter rising out of his seat, stalking over towards him and enveloping him in a bone crushing hug. He stiffened for a minute before relaxing and wrapping his arms around the larger mans frame.
"Daddy." Harry sobbed through tears as James scooped up his son and sat down with the boy in his lap. Hadrian was surprisingly light for his age. He was also quite short. Standing in at only 5'5.
Lily and Charles walked over and joined in the Hug. All four crying as they held each other. James was the first one to speak. His voice cracked a bit as he held onto his son. "I'm so sorry Harry... for everything.. I promise I will make things right.. I promise to be better." James sobbed as he kissed his Son's forehead. Harry just clung to him like a lifeline. Lily looked at her eldest as he sat in his father's lap. He suddenly looked so small and scared.  She read the signs of the years of neglect and her heart broke for her son. "Harry... could you, could you ever forgive us for what we've done." She sobbed quietly as he lunged into her arms and she held him tight. "It might take some time.. but I'm willing to forgive and let the past be." He stated firmly. Yes they knew it would take time. But they would prove to him that they loved him, they would make things right.. Harry let out of soft laugh through his tears as he pulled back.. everyone wiping off their tears they stood up. "Well it's a school night young man.. you two best be off to bed or you'll be very groggy in the Morning." James stated with a smile. Everyone just chuckled. Harry grabbed Charles's hand. And the two boys bid them goodnight and left through the doors.

"We made the right choice James, I'm glad his giving us a chance to get to know him." Lily stated to her husband as they walked towards their chambers.

James smiled at her and grabbed her hand. When the boy broke down in his arms and called him daddy, James immediately felt over protective of his son. The small boy in his arms had clung to him like his life depended on it. As if he was scared they would leave him again. James vowed to himself then and there that hey would never leave him again. They wouldn't cast him aside or neglect him ever again. It seemed for all his years the boy was still that young 4 year old who craved his father's attention, love and approval.

Charles walked hand in hand with his older brother to his common room. When he had first met the Slytherin king back in his second year he would have never guessed that the most feared, loved and respected person in the school would turn out to be his older brother. Thinking back on the previous years, Charles noted that whenever he and the rest of the golden trio got them selves in life threatening situations they never got punished for it and they somehow miraculously survived through it all. It was as if all evidence of that they had done had simply vanished into thin air. He knew only one person in the school had the power to do that. The Slytherin king. His Oldee brother had been watching his back from day one.

When he when to confront Quirrelmort in first year he had been horribly outmatched. He was sure he was going to die that night. But the door burst open and someone flung Quirrel off of him. He woke 3 days later in the hospital wing not knowing who had saved him.

In his second year with the Basilisk and the chamber of secrets he and Ron had gone to speak with Aragog to find out what the monster in the chamber was. They were running for their lives from the Acromantula colony when there was suddenly a bright blaze of light that surrounded them and the spiders scattered away from the light. The light had surrounded them until they left the forbidden forest and the simply vanished. When he went into the chamber to save Ginny he was hit with a powerful cutting hex that left him bleeding out on the floor. Only to wake up in the hospital wing with absolutely no traces of the cuts, just some bruises and a concussion along with the diary that looked like it was cut clean in half.
