Merthur/Merlin one shot

Merlin doesn't take bs even from Dumbasadoor 3

Two weeks went by. He knew that this will be in the newspapers and it really had been published. This morning to be exactly and he knew that Tom would appear. And yup he did. Tom had was now standing in front of him. He bit his lips as avoiding looking at the other. Because of how he looked at him.  Because Tom surely had realized that he had to do something with this. Or at least that was assumed. It made him shuffle and waiting for him to enter.

"So, what is this with Harry James Potter dead?" The male said with a raised eyebrow of doom. As well as sitting at the couch. With a cup of tea and he was sitting on the couch chair. Lucky for him, Bentley was asleep but he made sure to put some spell to tell him when he would wake up from his nap.

"Uh, I have no idea why you always assume it was me." He said innocently  and Tom looked at him with a snort.

"As if." It was said with a disbelieve tone and look. "We both know that nothing is simple when you are involved. We both know that you had been heavily involved in finding out what Dumbshit had done." It was said with a smirk and he shivered, as knowing exactly what he meant.

"And he isn't dead." This was soon added making him flinch as knowing that he couldn't lie to Tom. His lips pursed into a thin lip.

"Yes, but at the same he isn't alive." He said with a soft tone and he still hadn't gotten the time to let it sink in; what a child just with five had to go through.

"Hey, what exactly went through? Because I know that something did happen. As the newspaper said not how he died. The investigation is still on going after all." It was said softly, and he swallowed as starting to break down. How couldn't he? It was now that it really sank down what Harry had to go through.

Tom was instantly pulling into a hug. The two were close. Like Father-son bond. It was after all that he had adopted Tom, after hearing and finding out that there was someone who shown magic sign. It wasn't often that he was adopting children but Tom was someone who reminded him a bit of himself.

The fact that Harry/Bentley got bullied, shunned as well as abused. Stung a lot and this was too similar to what had happened to him or Tom. He felt the horror that he had just now known. Without his magic telling him to go to Privet Drive, god knows what would happen to Harry.

"Ha-Harry went th-through..." He couldn't even get it out and Tom shushed him as trying to calm him down. The male looked still young and this was just because he had the infliction of a warlock like him, after he had blood adopted him. His first name was the same, but his last name was his.

It took a few minutes and afterward he explained what had happened. Tom paled at the reveal and he could tell that this went close home to the other too. It was something that both knew how it was. Sometimes he wondered why Harry was chosen to suffer through that much.

"Is he..." Tom swallowed and even now they stayed in each other's arms, as soaking the comfort of both of them.

"No, he won't remember the cruelty of his fours years with them. I made sure of this and he is de-aged to almost 15 months." He explained and Tom let out a relieved sigh. There was as well some mirth seen in his eyes.

"This really can just be you." Tom mused and he chuckled.

"We both know my luck, sooo." He shrugged as it wasn't new. Both knew this. At least he felt better after he told this to Tom.

"Oh and we should get Sirius out of prison and explain the situation to him. The same with Lupin. I acted kind of rash there." It was said sheepishly, and Tom shook his head in amusement.

"Sometimes you are more Gryffindor than Slytherin." Tom said with the same tone as was on his expression.

"Well, I kind of argued with the head to be in Slytherin as I just wasn't wanting to be with Gryffindor and I had a friend there." He explained and Tom lost it as starting to laugh out loud.

"Only you, would argue with the hat. Only you." The amusement was thick in his voice and he chuckled as having mirth in his eyes.

"Well, yes. He was a good friend of mine and I really didn't like Gryffindors. They tried to make me go to their house because Slytherin's are that evil." He huffed out and giving him a mischievous grin.

"Had to prove to them that not all Slytherin's are bad." He added soon afterward, and his son was chuckling once again. It was soon interrupted by a wail of his younger son.

"I guess you better get to him." Tom said with a smile and he nodded as leaving the comfort touch of Tom. God the other was someone who made it bearable as much as Bentley did.

"Yup, see you in a bit." He walked towards the room of Bentley. (The room of Harry, looked like in the cannon. The one you seen with the Potter's) He instantly changed the diaper and back into his Slytherin onesie.

"Well little guy. Today you will meet your big brother. Isn't that exciting?" He asked with a baby voice and Bentley giggled as grinning from ear to ear.

"Bwothew." It was chanted over and over with and making him chuckle. God the boy was like a son for him now. Making his life brighter. He walked out and Tom instantly had a bright expression.

"Well hell there, you little butterfly. I am Tom you're big brother." Tom introduced himself with a cheerfulness that warmed his heart.

"Hewo 'om..." It was said with shyness, yet the smile was the same as before. This was how the two sons of his starting to play.

It warmedhis heart and Tom was coming to court even. Making it way easier and itbrought things up that none had known. Like that Sirius had not done thesethings but Pettigrew who had betrayed the Potters. Dumblejerk had lose his joband his magic. Molly too and he was glad to know that Arthur had not knownabout this. Everything was well. But there were a few things that he knew willneed to be taken care off and he had no idea how the two godfathers Lupinand Sirius will react to his blood adoption. 

A/N Decided to make Tom good. Because he wouldn't have ended up like this when it wouldn't be for Dumbleass. At least I firmly believed it, and so I let Merlin adopt him. Got the idea suddenly and couldn't help it. Hope you enjoyed this. I might make another part just way later where Harry explains that he argued with the hat to put him into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. Maybe. Not sure yet, anywho. See you and hope you all do good.
