Harry Potter's New Life

Madam Malkin's

"Dear Merlin. You can't ever be normal can you Mr. Riddle-Snape?" The goblin's voice seemed to shock my parents from their stupor. I chuckled.

"No. I suppose not. But please, call me Hadrian." I gave him a warm smile, or at least what I hoped was one what with the fangs and all, "Any goblin can honestly. I have a feeling I will be back here often so you all should be able to shorten my name a bit. Mr. Riddle-Snape seems a little excessive."

"You have seven creatures!" Snape exclaimed. I jumped at the sudden noise, a small sound of surprise leaving my mouth. "Mother Magic really must favor you!" He laughed, an incredulous look plastered on his face. I tilted my head, conveying my confusion.

"Seven is a very magically inclined number little one." Riddle's voice answered my unasked question, "That is why so many types of magical creatures have seven sub species, or a number of sub species that is a multiple of seven."

"Seven creatures?" October's voice was filled with awe, she had stayed silent for the most part of the appearance discovery and I was almost surprised to hear her voice. "You truly are very powerful young speaker."

"Thank you October." My voice was clear, as it seemed it always was when I spoke Parseltongue. I smiled once again at my parents, a silent thanks for helping me understand.

"While I hate to put a damper on everyone's mood, we need to get your things for Hogwarts if you wish to return." Riddle said, breaking the small moment of silence. "And, Little one, would you like to go by your real name? To Hogwarts I mean. We would have to leave out Severus' last name however, we don't want Dumbledore to get suspicious and do something brash."

I felt my face split into a grin as I nodded my head exceptionally fast. I couldn't believe they would actually want me to take on their last names! I completely understood the need to keep me being Snape's son off the radar and I was just happy that I was able to keep one of their names at all.

"You will need to come back at some point to go over your vault discrepancies but for now, I believe that we will be able to handle them and prevent them from happening again." The goblin smiled, "You will need to get a new wand Hadrian, yours will no longer control your magic, and make sure to read up on some of your creature inheritances too, we can not tell you what powers you will be getting, but some books might give you an idea."

"Thank you. Truly." My eyes shown with sincerity, "You have helped me in more ways than you could imagine." I felt the emotions in the room shift to sadness and a small amount of pity, but surprisingly not in a demeaning way, more like friends who couldn't imagine what you've gone through.

"Enough of that Hadrian! We have only done what was expected of us! Now hurry along! You mustn't be late!" Adelaide's voice rang sharp through the room, much like October's. I laughed and pulled myself out of bed, swaying slightly from the extra weight of the wings and tail which curled around my body in an attempt to stabilize myself and my newfound height. A hand steadied me, laying on my shoulder. I smiled gratefully up at Riddle and them preceded to almost fall right back down when I tried to take a step.

"Woah!" My voice betrayed me in giving away my struggle. This was going to take a while.

***Time Skip for Plot Puppies***

By the time we had left the room, I was walking pretty normally and could take many steps without managing to fall on my ass every time. Snape had taught me how to hide my wings, tail and horns but my ears wouldn't go away, we even tried a glamor. Needless to say, my magic was done with glamors, so instead I just kept them folded down for the most part. My scales also wouldn't leave my sides so we decided to cast a notice me not charm and get to Madam Malkins as fast as possible to get clothing that hid them for the most part until we found a better way to hide them, if there was one. Riddle was put under a glamour, just in case anyone could see through the notice me not charm, it only changed his eyes to a light green and his hair to a dirty blonde.

"I think I'm starting to get the hang off this." I said, my excitement getting the better of me.

"I believe you are. And at the perfect time too, the entrance is just around the bend." My enhanced senses weren't ready for the sounds and lights, everything was too much. I whimpered, instinctively curling towards my parents. I felt an arm wrap around me and buried my face into the strong chest, definitely Riddle. I heard a small whisper within all the noise and a short movement and suddenly the sounds weren't so intense. They were still very loud, but they were muffled greatly. I felt my shoulders relax and let out a sigh of relief.

"There you are. I apologize, I had forgotten what it was like to have just gotten your hearing and sight restored." I didn't remove myself from his embrace however, I just cuddled into him more, ignoring all the people walking by. No one was noticing us anyway. A deep chuckle resounded from his chest and he bent down, "I know," he whispered, "But we can cuddle later. I can visit during Hogwarts weekends, but right now, we need to get you clothes." I let out a short groan in reply but quickly went to obey his unsaid command. I didn't meet his eyes directly, just as I was taught, but that didn't matter when seconds later he wrapped his arm around me and began to lead me with my side glued to his, my face towards the front. I snuggled into him as we walked smiling, glad someone didn't let me go for once.

Madam Malkins was a short walk away from Gringotts and Snape gently rubbed my shoulder for a part of the walk, it was nice, relaxing even. Walking while hugging someone was no easy feat, especially when there are so many people pushing to get to different stores, but we made it.

"Madam?" Snape called out, voice showing respect while still showing he needed something. She wasn't in the room but she quickly called out a reply.

"Yes, yes. Sorry, sorry. I am very busy at the moment, my apologies." It seemed like she had to do this many times, I giggled lightly, amused that she thought we were mad at her for some reason. Three head all snapped to my direction, and almost instantly three grins followed.

"Well hello! It was been such a long while since I have serviced a creature so confident in their looks, Lord Riddle, Lord Snape. Or should I be mixing those names?" Her smile was kind, knowing in a way that didn't make you uncomfortable.

"A mix please." Snape stated proudly, followed my a gentle smile, "It's nice to see you Madam." He gently extended his arms and they hugged short and briefly.

"So you must be Mr. Riddle-Snape, their son. I'm glad they found you again, and with an uncanny love for cuddling I would guess!" I blushed furiously while they all barked with laughter, I had to admit though, I was practically clinging to him. I went to remove myself but Riddle's arm tightened and he frowned before looking down at me and giving me a reassuring look, obviously knowing I thought he was annoyed.

"Unfortunately not without some bumps and bruises, to say the least." Snape said solemnly, Madam Malkin frowned, "But that is his story to tell when he wishes to. For now, we need some robes to cover his markings, unless you know of a way to hide them besides a glamor." He gave off a chuckle, "His magic really dislikes those right now."

"No need to worry, all of my robes with creature accommodating parts come with enchantments meant to hide creature features when activated without disturbing the magic of the wearer. It is meant for recently changed creatures whom may be put in a dangerous situation if they are to reveal they are a creature, but it helps others as well." Her energy gave off calming waves and I felt myself relaxing, "I see you are an empath as well! I'll make sure all of your clothes have enchantments to prevent bad emotions from entering your magic until you are able to control that ability."

Riddle and Snape looked at me in surprise, but that quickly faded as I assume they realized nothing would be normal with me.

"Come, come!" Madam Malkins ushered me forwards, "We must get you fitted."

(A/N) I was feeling very creative today and this was how it expressed itself. Testing weeks are finally over so hopefully I will be able to update more often, so expect to be checking in every week and a half instead of every other week if I don't have writer's block. Either way, I hope you enjoyed and get excited for the next update! I have big plans for when Hadrian goes to Hogwarts! Get ready.
