Chapter Text
Harry was getting bored with just waiting for himself and the other to return from the shrieking shack, so he decided to talk to Hermione about that strange item she had used to take them back here. "Hey, Mione can I see that, what did you call it, Time-Turner, and ask you about it?" he asked.
"Sure just don't spin the hourglass in the center and it should remain dormant," she said lifting the chain from around her neck to pass it over to him.
"So what is it like the American movie Terminator, Back to the Future, or more like Doctor Who?" he asked lifting the chain to take a look at the artifact to see what looked like a small hourglass encased in a glass orb.
"I guess if I had to choose it would more like Doctor Who all major events will happen and any minor fluctuation will just smooth out by the time it reaches the present," Hermione said rubbing the back of her neck in thought on how best to explain it. "It is also like the episode of the Fifth Doctor's story of Mawdryn Undead where if a person interacts physically with their past self it can have as Professor McGonagall said it could have disastrous results."
"You mean like a massive explosion or death?" Harry asked.
"No actually more like you would be wiped from time itself," Hermione said making Harry's mouth fall open in shock. "Yeah try to think of what I had to do to make sure I did not run into myself in a crowded hallway on my way to class," Hermione said trying to lighten the mood and it worked as Harry let out a laugh. As he laughed his body movement caused the chain to slip a little. Afraid that he was about to lose the Time-Turner he shot out his hand to catch it, but as his hand touches the glass orb, it began to glow with a soft white light.
"Um Hermione what is happe," Harry asked as the orb flashed blinding him with the white light "ning." As Harry looks around he sees that he is no longer in the forest but in a well-appointed room. Before he can do anything more than take, a quick look around Harry loses consciousness as his knees collapse and he falls face-first onto the floor.
Harry woke up later as a wet cloth was placed on his forehead and reasoned he was in the Hospital Wing. "What happened Madam Pomfrey?" he asked.
"I think you are mistaken though that does at least show you are Magical if you know the Hogwarts Medi-Witch," an unknown male voice said. Harry tried to sit up but he felt a handhold him in place. "Just give yourself a minute you have been unconscious for three days."
"Three days does that mean they captured Sirius?" Harry asked.
"Sirius as in Black who would want to capture that toerag?" the voice asked confusing Harry. "Anyway just rest for a moment I know my Father wants to meet with you," the voice said as the sound of footsteps walked away from him "oh yeah you can remove the cloth and put your glasses back. They are on the table to your left."
"Thanks,'" Harry said as he took off the wet cloth and reached for his glasses to look around the room. His eyes were immediately drawn to the other person in the room causing him to gasp as he recognized a familiar head of hair. "Malfoy."
"Yes so you at least know my family but I don't seem to recall you what House are you in?" Malfoy asked without turning around.
"You know full well I am in Gryffindor, Draco," Harry said with a sneer.
"Draco? Who are you talking about," the other said as he turned revealing his face. Harry goggled for while the other did have the same shade and style as his school rival his noise was a little pointier, cheeks a little rounder and his eyes were softer and were gray rather than Draco's silver.
"But I thought... are you his cousin or something?" Harry asked as he noticed that the male was also a little older maybe in his Fifth or Sixth-Year.
"Whose cousin? I have never heard of a Draco Malfoy are you feeling alright?" the unknown Malfoy said walking back over to give him a once over.
"Hey Luci, remember Dad said when the stranger was awake you were supposed to bring him to his office," another platinum-blonde boy said poking his head into the room.
"I know Xeno I was letting him regain his strength jeez," Luci said giving Harry a small smile as he helped him to his feet. Harry was glad he did for once he was standing due to lack of movement for the last couple of days he almost fell right back onto the bed. Luci quickly wrapped a hand around Harry's waist and helped him out of the room and down a series of corridors stopping every once and a while when it seemed Harry was about to collapse so that he could take a breather. Soon enough Luci helped Harry into a large study with a roaring fireplace on the opposite wall on the other side of a large obsidian desk. In a chair behind the desk was another Malfoy, Harry had never seen before whose hair was up in a ponytail and had a short beard.
As soon as Luci helped him into one of the seats before the desk, standing behind him since the one known as Xeno was in the only other seat, the older Malfoy turned to Harry. "Alright young man I want to know exactly who you are and how you managed to get past our Wards," the man said in a stern voice reminding Harry of Draco's father.
"Um well I don't know how I got past your Wards and you don't know who I am?" he asked finding it strange that any Magical person would not know him.
"Do you not know who you are?" the man asked as his voice took on a softer tone.
"I know who I am it is just a shock that you would not," Harry said as with a sign moved his bangs out of the way to show off his lighting bolt scar.
"Yes I do admit that magical scar is unique but that does not answer my question young man," the older Malfoy said leaning forward and steepled his fingers before him.
"My name is Harry Potter," Harry said looking for any signs of recognition for his name and only getting blank stares.
"Any relation to Flemont Potter?" Xeno asked also leaning forward in his chair.
"I don't know the only Potter whose name I know is my dad James," Harry said.
"That is impossible James Potter is only thirteen," Luci said from behind him making Harry snap his face around to look at him.
"I see," the older man said with a slight frown on his face. "Since you will not give me your real name I shall have to use a different method." The man then reached into his desk and pulled out a small penknife and a roll of parchment. Taking his wand out the man muttered something that Harry could not hear as he waved it over the parchment making it lie flat on the desk. Standing up the man took hold of the penknife as he walked around the desk until he was standing before Harry. "Last chance young man I do not wish to invade the privacy of your family but I must know who you are that could get past my Wards so easily."
"I told you I am Harry Potter, son of James and Lily Potter," Harry said as he tried to push himself further back into the chair as the older Malfoy man took the knife and pricked his finger. Harry flinched thinking of the torture that was sure to come from this, as Ron would put it a family of Death Eaters, but it never came as the man withdrew the knife and let the drops of blood on it fall to the parchment. Harry was so focused on watching the parchment as if glowed he barely noticed that Luci had taken out his wand and healed the tiny wound on his hand.
"Now let's see who you are," the man said as he began to read the parchment to himself. "Ah-ha I knew you were giving me a fake name but, wait that is impossible."
"What is impossible dad?" Xeno asked.
"This can not be right," the man said as he took out his wand and cast a spell on the parchment only to frown at it when nothing happened. "Did you perchance have an issue with a Time-Turner recently?" he asked.
"Yeah I was holding one when it began to glow before it flashed and I found myself here why?" Harry asked.
"It is the only way, um what year is it my boy?" the man asked making Harry instantly think of Professor Dumbledore.
"When I was in the forest a couple of days ago, I guess, it was 1994," He said making the three Malfoys give out sounds of shock.
"I have never heard of a Time-Turner sending one outside their normal life span," Luci said as he subconsciously gripped Harry's shoulder.
"What do you mean what year is it?" Harry asked looking between the three of them.
"My boy it 1973," the man said.
"Wait no that can't be how could I travel that far back?" Harry asked once more looking between them.
"That I can not answer having never really used a Time-Turner, my boy. But I have to ask why did you feel it was necessary to give me a fake name?" the older Malfoy said.
"I did not. I gave you my name," Harry said with a voice a mixture of annoyance and anger at the man.
"Not according to this," the man said as he handed over the paper for Harry to read.
Harrison Nardia Prince-Black
Born March 22, 1979
Sire: Severus "Snape" Prince
Bearer: Regulus Prince nee Black
Father: James Potter (Illegal Blood Adoption)
Mother: Lily Potter nee Evens (Illegal Blood Adoption)
God Parents:
Tom Riddle
Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black
Sirius Black (Illegal)
Alice Longbottom nee Winthrop (Illegal)
Magical Guardian: Albus Dumbledore (Illegal)
"What? How am I Snape's kid I don't look anything like him or this Regulus?" Harry asked.
"That is mostly due to the illegal blood adoptions that have been forced on you leaving you a little trace of your natural parents," the eldest Malfoy said.
"Wait Dad I know I am not into this stuff as much as Luci but how does he have a Magical Guardian if from the sounds of it at least one of his parents are still alive?" Xeno asked looking to his Father who had begun to pace before the three of them.
"I have a theory, it is just a theory mind you, I think that the headmaster or someone took young Heir Prince-Black here from his parents and gave them to the Potters who in turned died leaving Albus free to walk in as Magical Guardian. It would be easy just a couple of Memory Charms or Forgetfulness Potions on his real parents and they would not even realize he was even theirs," Malfoy said stroking his short blonde beard before stopping his pacing and turning to face Harry again. "Okay I can see how you were able to bypass my wards as it was due to the Time-Turner but you seemed shocked we did not know you and I would like to know why,"
"Um wouldn't that sort of mess up my past?" Harry asked.
"Only if we either share what you tell us or try to prevent it," the man said before he once more took out his wand "I, Lord Abraxas Malfoy hereby place a Secrecy Charm on everyone in this room to not share or try to change what we are about to be told of Heir Prince-Black's past and our future." As Harry felt the wave of magic wash over him he began to tell the tale about how Voldemort had come to him in his home in Godrics Hollow and murdered his "parents." Harry also told about how he had survived the Killing curse from the madman which left Voldemort a mere shade while giving him the scar. But he did not stop there as he told all three Malfoys about some of his life at the Dursleys and the first couple of years at Hogwarts. Throughout his tale Luci, who he now knew was the young Lucius Malfoy father of Draco, grip on his shoulder stay in place as if offering some sort of support.
"They made you sleep in the cupboard under the stairs?" Xeno asked with a face that shocked his Father and younger Brother for rather than his normal happy expression the older teen looked like he wanted to kill the Dursleys.
"Only until I got my first Hogwarts letter than I got my cousin's, I guess he would not be if Lily was not my mom would he, second bedroom," Harry said.
"Wait I guess I missed that the first time this Muggle had two bedrooms while you had a closest that a House Elf would store cleaning supplies in," Abraxas said looking thunderous as well.
"I think you two are missing something more important here," Lucius said drawing his father and older brother's eyes to him.
"And what would that be Luci?" Xeno asked.
"Well, the fact that Harry was taken from his parents and given to others which were killed off leaving Headmaster Dumbles in charge as his Magical Guardian, and yet he did nothing to stop this at all. I have read that before all the letters are sent out they must first be approved by the current Headmaster or Mistress so he knew where Harry was living. Also if I may ask who came to collect you since you were living with Muggles?"
"Hagrid," Harry said
"Wait wasn't he the student that was expelled in 1943 and came to work as the Groundskeeper?" Abraxas asked, "Why would they send the Groundskeeper?"
"Well, he said he like magic but since his wand had been snapped he was not allowed to do it so he jumped at the job so he could freely use it," Harry explained.
"It is not only that he could use magic Harrison when a student is brought in from the Muggle world a fully qualified teacher is meant to be there to explain things such as our world and the four Houses, how long did your preparatory lessons with him last?" Abraxas asked taking a seat on the edge of his desk before Harry.
"What preparatory lessons we went to Diagon Alley he gave them the key to my vault and we went shopping and then he took me home," Harry said.
"I have no idea which is worse to hear that you had no preparatory lessons or that he had the key to your vaults," Abraxas said as his already pale face went even whiter. Harry was a little thankful that they did not have him go into greater details about his time at Hogwarts especially his second year and his interactions with the grown-up Lucius.
"Um, so I guess I should check my vaults when I get back then?" Harry asked.
"If you can get back I have never heard of a Time-Turner doing this before, so for as far as we know you may be stuck here and have to live your way back to that time," Abraxas said giving him a sad look.
"Wait but how?" Harry asked.
"You will just have to stay out of the limelight, as the Muggles say, and try not to change anything that could negatively affect the timeline. I will have a Potions Master I know start working on something to undo any blood adoptions for you as going to the bank to ask for it would be pretty awkward to pay for," Abraxas said using his wand to summon some parchments to make some notes. "In the meantime, we will just have to pass you off as a cousin or something visiting from America. That does mean you will be staying with us, but I think it is better than having you go somewhere else and have to explain who you are and why you have not money," Abraxas said.
"Thank you, sir," Harry said surprised at how kind Draco's grandfather was.
"Don't mention it my boy why don't you go with Lucius and see if you can find more appropriate attire to wear," the older man said with a kind smile as Lucius helped him once more to his feet and out of the study.
Over the next couple of weeks, Harry was taught what he should have learned about the Magical World before he started at Hogwarts, usually with Lucius as Abraxas was busy work and Xeno would leave the Manor to, as Lucius put it, court Pandora Lovegood. If someone had told him that he would have had fun living at Malfoy Manor he would have thought they had been curse but the more time he spent he found it even better than being at the Burrow with the Weasleys. Sometimes when they were not going over the lessons on the Magical World he and Lucius would walk the large gardens attached to the Manor and just talk. Harry would ask about his real parents since he knew Snape had always been a Slytherin and Draco had boasted that his whole family had been in that house. In return Harry would tell him more about his life, leaving out names of the people just in case. It was during one of these discussions that Lucius had informed him that he did not think that Hermione and Ron were good friends. Pointing out the case of Hermione not talking to them over the Firebolt incident as well as the fact that she would get angry at him anytime he would outperform her in any of their classes. While Ron he just saw as lazy and seemed more interested in Harry's fame than his friendship. This one Harry had the most trouble with until Lucius pointed out that according to Harry, Ron would complain if they did not do an activity that he was not a fan of, and Ron's messing around in classes meant that he was causing Harry to get lower grades than he was capable of. The pair walked in silence for a while after Lucius had shared this with Harry who had seen the older teens point. Coming to a small pavilion in the middle of the gardens the pair decided to sit down for a small bit of afternoon tea. With a snap of his fingers, Lucius summoned a House Elf which much to Harry's surprise was Dobby.
"Hello, young Master Lucius I am glad you called me I have a message from your father," Dobby said bowing low to the man making Harry wonder what had happened in their relationship that had caused the Elf to act as he did back in his time. "Heir Prince-Black's potions are being almost done by the weekend he will look like he should."
"Thank you Dobby that is great news," Lucius said sending a beaming smile at Harry who for some reason found himself blushing. "Can you bring us our afternoon tea out here and maybe a small cake so we can celebrate the good news," Lucius ordered though for some reason his voice sounded like it was wavering as if it was coming from an old radio. Even the pop from Dobby's leaving sounded off. "Harry are you okay," Lucius asked looking up at him with a smile which soon slid right off his face. Harry felt his head spin for a moment and raised his right hand to it only to stop as he noticed his skin had become Translucent.
"Luci?" he called out a little scared.
"Harry, Harry, HARRY," Luci cried as he reached for him only for his hand to pass right through Harry's body just before Harry vanishes from the garden.
"What was that Harry?" a familiar voice said as Harry looked away from his hand to see that he was not in the pavilion on the Malfoy ground but back in the Forbidden Forest.
"What just happened Hermione? How long was I gone?" Harry asked turning to see Hermione still sitting with her back to the tree.
"What do you mean gone you almost tripped and caught the Time-Turner?" Hermione asked him as she gave him a sympathetic look "I know you are worried but we should be coming out soon," she said with a smile. Harry began to wonder if it had all been some sort of vision thought why he would have a vision of living with the Malfoys who knew, but as he looked down he saw he was not in the causal clothing he had been wearing last time he was here but a pair of Lucius' old robes that the older boy had used magic so that they fit him. He was about to ask Hermione about the change of clothes but he noticed himself and the others coming out from the Whooping Willow. He winces a little as he saw Severus being carried around like a puppet as he recalled that Sirius had made sure to scrape the top of the man's head against the rock ceiling of the tunnel. He felt a need to go curse Sirius for that but Hermione caught him by his arm. "I know it is hard but we have to let Pettigrew get away," she said misinterpreting his movement. He agreed as he went into auto-pilot during the remainder of the night watching the man that was illegal his Godfather but was his uncle fly away on Buckeak. When they got back to the Hospital Wing Ron demanded they tell him what had just happened which he let Hermione do taking a bit of chocolate off his bedside table and seeing that Lucius had been right about him. He was just thinking that maybe he should have taken Draco's hand during the first train ride if the blonde was anything like his Father the two would have been good friends only for Fudge, Snape, and Dumbles to show up to ask what happen to Black. Harry just nodded in agreement as Ron and Hermione said they had not left the wing since they got there, with Madam Pomfrey backing them up. His Father caught his eye and Harry refused to break it until Snape was lead away by the Minister.
The next day he left Hermione and Ron in the Hospital Wing as they told him good luck in talking to Lupin, but he was not heading there as he went right to the Potions Classroom, still, a little shocked that no one had mentioned the robes he was wearing were not his own but whatever. Thankfully Snape was in the classroom as Harry had no idea where his room or even office was in the castle.
"What do you want Potter if you came to convince me that Peter Pettigrew is still alive you can forget it I will find out what happened to that Godfather of yours just wait," his Father said.
"I was wondering if you could perform, oh um what did Luci say it was called, oh yeah Family Treaty Test?" Harry asks making Severus raise an eyebrow at the request.
"If it will get you out of my sight fine," his Father said after a moment of silence when neither of them moved. With a flick of his wand, Severus summoned a blank parchment and a penknife. Doing exactly what Abraxas had done Snape pricked his finger but made no move to heal it making Harry wish Luci was there to heal it for him as he sucked on the tiny puncture wound. "There it is done," Severus said as he quickly looks down at the parchment he intended to just hand it off to him, but as he quickly read the top four lines he grasped his head in pain as the memory blocks that had been in place came undone. Falling to his knees Severus began to weep at the loss of his Mate and how he had treated his only child. His movement caused the results of the test to flutter to the floor at Harry's feet, wanting to see them again Harry was shocked to see more lines printed on this version than the one he had done at the Malfoy Manor. "Well it looks like that was not the last time I will being going back," he said to himself as he read two of the newly printed lines.
Husband: Lucius Scorpius Malfoy
Child: Draconis Regulus Malfoy
