Back In Time

Chapter 15

Harry's POV  
"Does that mean you are a horcrux, or the part that was in you back in that time has been merged with your soul, and it doesn't classify as a horcrux?" Severus asked.

"It does not classify as a horcrux, but it is still a part of his soul. So, as long as I'm alive, my mate is alive, so is he. He can use that part of his soul as a link or connection with me. As I grow older, I think we could speak with each other through the link." I said.

"We need to act fast. We need someone to adopt Harry. Black is his godfather and can easily adopt him. So can Lupin. If we're not fast, Dumbledore will do something, and it would not sit well with our plan of action." Lucius said.

Sirius nodded and looked at Remus. Remus was conflicted. "What do you feel about it, Harry?" Sirius asked me.

"You did adopt me back then, only it was because you started to doubt Dumbledore and wanted to give an extra layer of protection for me. I didn't know I was adopted until you died, when Kreacher called me Lord Black. So, this time round, I want to know and feel the adoption. And you will also be adopting me, Remus." I said as I looked at them.

Remus didn't know what to say. "I want you as my son as much as Sirius, but what if you get the wolf too?" He asked. He didn't want me to go through the pain of transforming every full moon.

"Remmy, you and I both know that it gets transferred only if you bit him. And I know that it is impossible for Moony to bite pup. There is nothing wrong with wanting a son of your own." Sirius said.

Remus looked at me. I know I had a pleading look on my face. I wanted parental figures in life, or at least in this one. Remus finally nodded. He looked at Riverand and said, "Can we get the adoption potion?"

Riverand nooded and asked for the goblin in the room to fetch an adoption potion. The goblin came back a few minutes later with a potion and a ritual dagger.

Sirius cut his palm with the dagger, let seven drops of blood fall into the potion, and healed himself before giving the dagger to Remus, who dropped seven drops of his blood into the potion as well. When the blood was mixed into the potion, I gave Draco to Narcissa and gulped the potion down. 

It was like being hit with stinging hexes, not painful, but definitely uncomfortable.

When the feeling was completely gone, I looked at Sirius. He gasped. He walked to me and hugged me. "You look like a different person now, pup. You have your green eyes, but you also have a blue rim at the iris, which you got from me, and gold streaks near the iris, which you got from Remus. You look the perfect combination of James and me in the face. You filled out a little. Remus was taller than your average kid even back then, and since you morphed yourself into your 11 year old self, it seems like you got your build from both Remus and Lily." He said.

"I'm glad." I said as I returned the hug and asked Remus to join for a couple of moments, which he did with the brightest smile I had ever seen on his face. That was the smile I was when he showed me Teddy.

When they pulled back and sat in their chairs, I took Draco back into my arms. Narcissa wasn't complaining, for which I was gled. Tonks never let me hold Teddy for more than 5 minutes.

Then I looked at both Tom and Severus. "After you hide your mark, I want the both of you to be my godfathers." I said.

"You want us to be your godfathers?" Tom asked.

I nodded. "As far as the people know, I still escaped death. You didn't kill me. You only killed James and Lily. Just watch, the old man will announce to the press that I am the boy-who-lived, again." I said. "And nobody, not even the old man, can imagine the Dark Lord and his mate, to be my godfathers. If anything, he'll think that Severus is helping him by being my godfather. He will feel that he would have access with me if he knew Severus was my godfather. And Tom, you do not look like the version of you, the version of Tom Marvolo Riddle, he knows. You could gain inside information yourself. You could go by a different last name, make him feel that you are not the dark lord, now that you are sane, your aura is also completely different."

"He is right, my lord. Your aura is different." Lucius said.

"About Severus, even I accept that it is a good plan. Even if my aura is changed, my name will still be the same. I would still have the slytherin traits. What should we do if he tries to separate me from you or Severus." Tom asked.

"The Gaunts also are the descendants of Peverells. You will not get the lordship as it would belong to Heir Potter-Black in the future, but you can still have your Slytherin and Gaunt Lordships. And I do believe that you have more than the Slytherin, Peverell, and Gaunt blood in you." Riverand said.

"How can I still have my lordships? and if you feel that way, then I would request for an inheritence test." Tom said.

Riverand and summoned a parchment and placed it in front of Tom. He gave him the ritual dagger. Tom let seven drops fall on the parchment after he cut his palm and healed before handing the dagger back to Riverand.

"That is for any remaining magical blood lines in you other than Slytherin, Gaunt, and Peverell. It will take some time. If you find any other bloodlines, then you can create an identity with those lines and leave the identity as Tom Riddle behind. When you change your name, do it magically so that even if Heir Prince was forced by Dumbledore to take an inheritence test in public, it would show the name you would be using then, and not Tom Marvolo Riddle." Riverand said.

"You can then hide your mark. And please do remove the jinx you put on the Defense Against Dark Arts position. Then, you can merge all your horcruxes back." I said.

"I will be hiding the mark anyway. Yes, I will be doing that. I dont know why I even placed that jinx. And once the soul is broken, it can't be mended again." Tom said.

"You are forgetting that I'm the Master of Death. Mortem wanted me to put the soul back together and explained to me how I could do it. I can summon all your horcruxes to the bank if I was given permission, and put them back in you so that the coot will not have anything to relate you and with your current self. What you had done was going against him. Be glad he can not kill. He can only take the souls of the dead back to his realm, not from living people." I said.

Tom paled but nodded.

"You are allowed to whatever you please, Heir Potter-Black. You are the Master of Death, after all." Riverand said. "And it seems you do have a link to another bloodline, Lord Slytherin-Gaunt." And looked at Tom with a glint in his eyes.

This might turn out to be fun.
