"...Harry?" Severus found himself gently shaking the boy and asking his name for the eighth time since Marvolo had read the results out.

"B...but..I..have to be dominate! I can't be some stupid little! What if...what if headmaster found out?! Oh god oh god he might already knows. No no he can't know he would not want me to be something I can't be. But I can't be little I can't be! Headmaster told me...he told me...that I am the boy who lived...I have to be a dominate. I have to be..." His voice petered out near the end as he found himself sobbing. Severus and Marvolo were both scandalized and worried about Harry and that old man. It is horrible to tell a growing child who idolizes you that their to be one thing! That's unforgivable... it just was not done that way. It only gave the child false ideas that end up hurting them in the end.

The second Harry had heard his results changes were already happening to him. Including a bond forming between the two men who were trying to comfort Harry. Severus felt horrible that Harry had even been influenced to believe that he could be a dominate. He just was not made out to be one. Little with a mindset of a baby about 0 to 18 months old. That was the youngest mindset Severus had ever heard. So young in fact that it made sense that Harry had been so easily moulded into what Dumbledore and Vernon wanted. Young enough that signs had been able to show during the child's unconscious state.

"Harry, child, it is not something that you get to decide. There are many things that pushed you into this but not one of them is anyone's fault but fates. Alright little one?" Severus softly asked. Harry looked into his eyes searching. Searching for some form of truth. Severus opened his mind so that Harry was not left unknowing.

"O..okay..." Harry turned slightly to face Marvolo looking for the same truth. Marvolo just kind of smiled and leaned forward, placing his forehead against Harry's. Pushing the emotions of pure truth, adoration and, all encompassing mothering feelings to Harry.

The child giggled at the odd sensations and snuggled closer into Marvolo's side. His fingers playing with a button that was loose. Silence encased the room this time comfortably. Harry was feeling a bit drowsy after having two different flashbacks and having to deal with several other people.

"Little one why don't you try to get a little more sleep."

Harry sleepily smiled at Marvolo and said, "Alright...mama."

================================================================================

Severus and Marvolo were both stunned silent. They had waited until Harry was completely asleep before talking it over. Now they sat in the same silence as before Harry had just called Marvolo...mama. Marvolo was of course almost glowing at being called Mama. He had always wanted to be a guardian of a little but he had never expected to be called Mama maybe Daddy or Papa but definitely not Mama.

"So...Mama....you know it fits you." Severus calmly stated as he sat up from the bed and started to head towards the door.

"Verus!" Marvolo whisper shouted, "Get back here! You're just upset because he did not call you anything!"

Severus stopped for a second and then turned back to face Marvolo with a tinged smile, "You are correct but also I am worried about the child. He's just a baby but his reactions were tailored by a madman. Plus there's that pesky little prophecy. Lily had said something about it holding water but I never understood everything Lils told us."

"She was and will always be an enigma. Almost as much as this little man." Severus was not surprised at how sappy Marvolo was being. They had been married for almost seventeen years Severus probably knew more about Marvolo than Marvolo himself.

"When he's doing a bit better, we should take him shopping for his room." Severus mused, gliding back towards the two others.

"You felt it too then?" Severus just nodded and sat on edge of the bed. He just wanted to keep his now two favorite people directly in his sight lines. Sighing he scooted closer to them and wrapped his long arms around them both. It was an amazing feeling for Severus to just feel the little letting out gentle little puffs of air against his arm.
