Hadrian's True Potential

Chapter Seven

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling does.

     The next morning was a Saturday and Severus woke up with Harry still in his arms fast asleep. He pushed Harry's hair away from his scar and tucked it behind his ears, thinking that he needs a haircut. Harry stired and opened his eyes, he slowly pulled away from Severus.

"Good morning, Harry." said Severus.

"G'morning" Replied Harry.

"Would you like some tea?"

"Yes please."

Severus went to the small kitchen and quickly made two cups of tea.

"Harry, I would like to ask you a question. You don't have to agree if you don't want to, and this is your decision to make."

"Okay, what's the question?" Harry asked.

"I was wondering if you would like me to adopt you?"

"You actually want me?"

"Ofcourse, child. When do I ask of something I don't want?"

"Would you want me even if I did something really awful?"

"Harry, I will want you forever no matter what." Severus said, thinking about how much they must have told Harry he wasn't wanted.

"I very much like the idea, would you then be my dad?"

"If you would like that, yes."

"I would definitely like that, when can you adopt me?" Asked Harry excitedly.

"We will need to go to Gringotts and do a load of paperwork, you can also keep your last name, to keep you connevted to your birth paents and it would be better to keep the adoption on the down low for a while."

"Could I add your name as another middle name?"

"I suppose we can do that. If you finish all your homework today, we can go to Gringotts tomorrow."

"I can't wait, may I go tell Ron and Hermione?"

"Ofcourse, I will meet you at the entrance hall tomorrow at 8am sharp, don't be late."

"Thank you, bye!" Harry said as he ran out of their quarters to join his friends for breakfast.

Harry then went and told his friends that Sev would adopt him.

The next morning Harry met Sev in the entrance hall and they walked to hogsmeade to the apparation point, where Harry and Sev apparated to Diagon Alley. When they got to Gringotts the goblin, Griphook, took care of the adoption, he helped Severus sign all the forms. They also decided to do an inheritance test so that they could look at possible titles and vaults.

"I will need three drops of blood, and I will need you to let it drip onto the paper and it will let us know all your inheritance." Griphook said, as he passed Harry a small dagger.

"Okay." Harry replied. Harry then cut the palm of his hand and let three drops of blood fall on the parchment.
