"Harry we need to go finalise the adoption soon or it will fall through." Snape said.

"Okay can we just go today then? I don't think I'm ready to meet the world." Harry protested.

"Deal." Snape said.

They went to the bank only after Snape insisted Harry get new clothes. Much to his disapproval Harry bought a hand full of new clothes and shoes. They walked into Gringgots and was met by a goblin with shiny white eyes. (Picture above).

"Masters Snape right this way please."

They were lead into an office in the back and Harry wouldn't let go of Snape. Upon entering the office Snape sat down and pulled Harry into his lap. Harry relaxed as soon as he did this.

"Everything will be okay. I won't leave you." Snape reassured.

"Young Master Snape if you don't mind." The goblin handed him a blade and piece of parchment.

Harry cut his finger as instructed by his father and dropped three drops of blood onto the parchment. The goblin took the parchment and blade back. He handed Harry another parchment and he dropped three drops of blood again. Then Snape healed his finger and pulled him close.

"Master Snape, Heir Snape seems to have some troubling issues that must be addressed." The goblin said after examining both parchments.

"What is it?" Snape monotoned.

The goblin handed the parchments to Snape.

This has been redacted and can only be accessed through guardianship.

Snape Frowned. "How do I access it?"

"I will need you to supply your own blood." The goblin said.

Snape nodded and cut his finger rubbing the blood over the redacted parts. He hesitated on revealing the name of who killed Harry's parents when he realised Harry had fallen asleep. The poor kid was plagued with nightmares and Snape tried his best to sooth him when he could. He decided that he, Severus Snape had to know the truth once and for all. The parchment revealed what he had only guessed at.

Father and mother dead - Killed by Dumbledore

Family fortune: reclaimed by Dumbledore

Access to vaults: Restricted to Dumbledore

To say Snape was furious was an understatement and Harry could feel it. He woke up startled and scared. When Snape saw Harry's scared face he calmed down and before Harry could see why he was angry he folded up both parchments.

"Can I keep these?" He asked the goblin.

"Yes Master Snape You may keep them. I have two more matters to discus with the both of you. Firstly I would like Young Master Snape to drink this potion every day for the next month." Snape nodded and took the piece of parchment with the potion name. "Secondly Young Master Snape I believe these are now all rightfully yours."

The goblin handed Harry a package of items Snape said they would open at home. With that all done Snape stood up and carried Harry out. Once outside Snape sighed.

"I'm sorry for waking you Harry. I was just caught off guard."

"It's okay Father. I'm hungry." Harry said snuggling into Snape.

Hermione had been sleeping in her father's arms when he shook her awake. She looked up at him and yawned before standing up and stretching.

"Sweety are you sure you don't want to reconsider that offer?" Her father asked.

"Daddy I will not be paid to be friends with anyone. What if I don't like him? Then I'm stuck with someone I don't like. I'd rather die." Hermione crossed her arms.

"Pumpkin you have a letter from Hogwarts." Her mother called and she opened it.

"I got in! For next year only though." She said happily handing the letter to her father

"Congratulations sweety." Her father beamed. "I apologize for my previous question."

*~*

"Fred, George Stop it!" Ronald Weasley shouted.

"That wouldn't be"
"Any fun." The twins said. Fred finishing George's Sentence.

"Come now boys Dumbledore will be here any minute." Molly Weasley said ushering the boys outside.

"Mommy when is Dumbledore bringing my friend?" Ron wined.

"Yeah. When am I going to meet my future husband?" Ginnevea Weasley complained.

The twins rolled their eyes. They were baffled to say the least. They were always different from their siblings. In fact they were only in Gryffindor by default. They knew they didn't belong there either. Fred and George had been devising a plan to be resorted. They know they would probably be disowned if they strayed but they didn't want to fit in with the crowd.

Dumbledore appeared in front of the twins with a smile. "How are you boys?"

The twins shared a look and walked away without a word.

"Ahh Molly I came to give you Ron's acceptance Letter. I know It's early but a special delivery was needed." Dumbledore said.

*~*

"Dad. Why couldn't we stay with uncle Sev and Harry?" Draco asked.

"Draco. Could you not see how damaged that boy is? He made peace with you be happy about that. He may still need time to adjust to having a new father." Lucius said.

"Can I go tell mother?"

"No Draco. You know she will cause a scene. We need to give them time to tell everyone themselves." Lucius offered Draco a hug and Draco took it.

"Darling. Your letter form Hogwarts came." Narcissa called entering the study.

"Thank you mother." Draco took the letter and opened it. "I'll start next year." He stated then smiled. "Do you think Harry Will be there?"

"Most probably you are the same age." Lucius said.

*~*

A week passed by rather fast and an owl showed up outside Harry's window. He let it in and took the envelope. Then he walked to the basement where he was sure Snape was brewing a potion.

"Se... Father What is this?" He asked holding the letter out for his father.

"It seems to be your Hogwarts letter. Open it up." Snape said finishing up his potion.

Harry opened the letter and read it aloud:

Master Harry,

We at Hogwarts are proud to inform you of your successful entry to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the next school year.

We sent out these letters early to provide you with enough time to acquaint yourself with this new world.

Regards the School Board.

"Congratulations." Snape beamed.

Harry blushed and went to hug his new father.

*~*

The whole year passed by as Harry got used to calling Snape his father. He learnt more about the world and they went out more often. It came time to buy school supplies, but Harry refused to go with Lucius and Draco.

"Harry Draco wanted to see you." Snape said trying to convince him to go with the two Malfoys.

"Then he can come with us." Harry countered crossing his arms over his chest.
