Severus sat there in shock, Black was still alive. He may detest the man but he knew the mutt would never willing deceive Harry. What did Dumbledore do to Black? Severus ran a hand over his tired face. Was there no end to Dumbledore's manipulations?

" I don't understand." Severus looked to the goblin. " What is it about Harry that Dumbledore wants? First he leaves Harry with those despicable muggle relatives that starved, and beat him. I have no doubt that he would have left Harry in their care if it wasn't for the fact that the Uncle came close to killing Harry, and the police arrested him. Then he gives him to a loving family, only to rip them away from him making sure Harry felt abandoned and unloved. He then takes away Sirius and Remus and tells Harry that Sirius' death was his fault. He bonds Harry to the one person that is sure to abuse him; leaving Harry no rights. He sets a clause that makes him the second bonder should anything happen to Ronald. I don't even want to get into Harry's Hogwarts years. Why is he so drawn to James and Lilly's son?"

" Well to start, Harry is not Lilly's son."

Severus lunged to his feet in shock and outraged. " What do you mean ' not Lilly's son'?"

" Just as I said, Harry James Potter is not the son to Lilly Evans. Lilly Evans had no children before her passing, and she was never married."

Severus was pacing like a caged, wild animal. " How, How is she not Harry's mother? If Lilly isn't his mother then who is?"

" I'm sorry I can not tell you that. Harry's birth certificate only lists one parent, James Potter."

Severus slowly sank bank into his chair. He didn't know how much more he could take. Sirius was alive and Lilly was not the mother to Harry.

Severus could feel his hands trembling in his lap. " This is a lot to take in and process, and has left us with more questions then answers. Right now we need to focus on the bonding contract, we have to get Harry out of it. What about life debts? The Weasleys owe Harry several life debts. Can he use them to get out of the contract?"

Bloodrean flipped through several more papers. " Arthur, Ronald and Ginerva owe Harry life debts. Unfortunately, the only debt he can use in this case would be Ronald's, but he couldn't use it to get him out of the contract. The binding contract was signed before the life debt incurred. He could use the life debt to possibly give himself some wiggle room like saying; Ronald could never take the kids from him or Ronald can't physically abuse him. We would have to find a way to get creative around the words written in the contract. Nothing specifically written in the contract could be changed, like Ronald being dominate, that can not be changed."

" Damn!" muttered a frustrated Severus. " I was hoping that would work. When was the contract signed?"

" It was signed when Harry was 12 years old."

" That sick old pedophile listed himself as second bonder when Harry was only 12 years old." Draco was disgusted. How were they going to save Harry?

" You said that there was no creature blood in the Potter and Evans line." Up until this point Edward had been quiet. " Well, we now know that Lilly isn't Harry's mother. So isn't there a possibility that Harry's other parent could have creature blood?"

" Ahhhhh, now we are getting somewhere." exclaimed Bloodrean getting excited. " The only way for Harry to get out of the contract is if he comes into an inheritance with destined mates. The fact that you three powerful creatures are sitting here claiming Harry as your mate leads me to believe that to be a possibility. There is the possibly that the unknown parent has creature blood, but why do you assume the Potters had no creature blood in their line?"
