Harry's POV

Harry apparated with Serena to Malfoy Manor, entering the house with the girl in his arms. It hurt to do this, but he and Snape had agreed it was the best long ago.

"Evans?"

Harry stopped at seeing Voldemort in all his serpentine glory. It was the first time that the man approached him like this. Harry leaned Serena on the floor.

"Go compliment Bran, sweetie."

A little tentatively, Serena approached Voldemort who leaned down to let her hug and kiss his cheeks.

"Your different." the girl mumbled.

Voldemort nodded, picking her up to his arms and looked at Harry with a raised eyebrow.

"My niece agreed to watch over her while I have to do something... I don't know for how long I'll be out, but..."

"I'll make sure nothing happens to her." Voldemort promised.

Harry nodded thankfully, before approaching and kissing Serena's head.

"Be a good girl to Bran, okay?"

"I will, mummy."

Harry nodded and turned around, leaving. If Voldemort saw his tears the man didn't comment it out...

Harry apparated to Privet Drive where Severus was already waiting for him.

"Did it...?"

"I just sent you to the past."

Harry nodded and Hedwig appeared on his shoulder as he took his old trunk out, enlarging it. Snape gave him a potion that he took, only to fell on his knees in pain as his body shrank back to a 15 year old body and his female features turned back to male ones.

"Damn that hurt more than I thought it would've..." Harry whimpered his voice back to normal.

Snape helped him stand and offered him back his old glasses, but without graduation. Harry accepted them, putting them on. He would miss his daughter the most...

"BOY!"

Harry shivered as if 60 years hadn't passed between the last time he had heard that voice. Snape stepped forward and put himself between Harry and the newcomer.

"Dursley!" he hissed threateningly.

Uncle Vernon stopped at seeing Snape and looked at his outfit immediately recognising what he was.

"I don't want anything to do with your kind."

Snape looked back at Harry and then at Uncle Vernon.
