A week later, it was adoption day. Severus, Harry, and Skye were in Malfoy Manor, waiting for the goblin and the ministry officials to arrive. Harry sat in an armchair by the window, playing with Skye, while Severus, Lucius, and Tom stood on the other side, talking.

"Severus, are you sure about this?" Lucius asked softly, his eyes glued to the young male sitting in the chair with his nephew. "I mean, he is Harry Potter," He said.

"I know who he is, but it's the only way to stop Alexander from taking Skye, and I trust him," Severus said, and his two friends gave him odd looks.

"Ok, I know my brother, and he would stop at nothing to get his way," Lucius said, running his hand through his hair.

The floo rang, and Lucius gave Severus one last look before walking over, answering the floo, and letting through a goblin and two ministry officials who were there to officiate the adoption.

"Where is the baby to be adopted?" The first official asked, and Harry came over with Skye. "Good, let's proceed," he said.

The officials conjured up a table and instructed Harry to lay Skye on it; they pricked the baby's finger before dropping the blood on a paper, making his birth certificate appear.

'Birth Certificate

Name: Skye Lance Malfoy

Mother: Severus Snape

Father: Alexander Malfoy,'

They proceeded with the adoption, using one potion to burn away Alexander's DNA before using another to add Harry's. Severus clenched his fist as Skye cried as the potion worked its way through his body.

A hand brushed him, and he saw Harry giving him a tight smile. When the process was done, Severus rushed over and scooped up Skye, holding him close to his chest.

"While we are here, I would like to add godparents to the birth certificate," Severus said, "Lucius Malfoy and Tom Riddle," He said, and the two men looked at him hooked.

"Really?" Tom mumbled, and Severus nodded.

The two took their Godparent's vows before Severus was handed the new birth certificate.

'Birth Certificate

Name: Skye Lance Malfoy

Mother: Severus Snape

Father: Harry Potter

Godparents: Lucius Malfoy and Tom Riddle,'

"Congratulations on the adoption Mr. Potter," The first official said before he exited through the floo.

"Oh, wow," Harry said as he stared at the parchment. "I'm a father," he mumbled, sitting on the couch. Severus looked over at him with a slight frown before handing Lucius a now-sleeping Skye as he and Tom left the room.

"Harry," Severus said as he sat beside him. The younger male placed down the parchment and turned to Severus. "Do you regret it?" Severus asked, and the other quickly shook his head.

"No, It's just sinking in," He said, smiling as he leaned in and pressed his lips against Severus. "Let's go get Skye, and we can spend some quality family time together," He said, standing and pulling Severus with him, going to the sitting room across the hall.

They entered the other room, and Harry's eyes widened at the sight before him. Lucius sat on Tom's lap with the other's hand firmly on his butt as they kissed. "No making out in front of my kid," Severus said as he walked over to the cot where Skye lay asleep.

The two pulled apart and rolled their eyes before glancing at Harry as Severus picked up Skye and went to the bedroom where they were staying to have their own family time.
