Perfectly Imperfect

Chapter 18: We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.” Sam Keen

“There should be no need to legitimise his claim to Mage-dom, and any fool” Snape snarled and fixed his glare on the Gryffindor pair “with half a brain, can easily tell he has vampire blood.”

“That the ministry of magic should defy all logic and allow Harry to flounder when the choice was obvious is an astounding display of incompetence. I did what had to be done and I take full responsibility for his life. If they wish to press charges because their ray of hope is living and breathing then so-be-it.”

“It is evident that Harry has no further use for the basic teachings of Hogwarts although he shall be staying here. With me and Victor, in quarters we have charmed attached to our own. I am more than a suitable contender for his further tuition.”

Before anyone could draw breathe to protest, he continued. “When the inevitable call to war comes, the wizarding world will look to their boy saviour” Snape snarled “Unless Harry gets intensive training all will be for naught.”

Harry felt Dumbledore poke about at the edges of Snape’s mind trying to sneak in to no avail, he then tried Victors and was given an X-rated serve of what he thought he had seen from the hearth earlier.

Sometime later Harry felt Dumbledore at the edge of his mind and admitted him to the horror of ‘life under the stairs’ a little readers digest version, he had cut and pasted from 10 years of his life in Pivot drive.

If Dumbledore had the grace to blush when he read what Victor had in stall for him he gave no indication of surprise at what he found in Harry’s. Which as far as Harry was concerned just confirmed what he had recently learnt about the man.

“But Harry, you cant live with them” Hermione jumped out of her seat and even with the liberal lacing of calming draught in the tea she still looked quite agitated.

She pointed at Snape and Victor as if they were exploding flobber-worms. “They, well…” She floundered “they well you can’t, you just can’t. What about your friends? What about your family?”

“We are his family” Stated Victor simply. The only words he uttered during the whole discourse. “Severus and I are bonded by traditional wizarding law and young Harry has been formally adopted.”

*Relax Harry we are all equal* Victor consoled him feeling his concern *A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a lot of explaining*

*Being a former Death-eater Harry I couldn’t put my name on the respective documentation to make you my own but know this you are as much a part of me as my own heart. Victor and I bonded some time ago and the best way to counteract any subterfuge was your adoption.*

“Naturally Harry needs to spend time with his Sire, and likewise I need to keep my Childe nearby” Victor bowed conveying respect and yet still retaining a regal air. “We must keep in mind what is best for the survival of our combined world”

Dumbledore was moderately pacified by the vampiric scum that stood before him. Certainly he looked and spoke like a man of good breeding but vampires were still human leeches in his mind.

Still this was one leech with poorly concealed and delicious designs on Snape plus after all he had brought puppet Potter back.

For now it could be endured. There will come a day when cannon fodder is needed so what if he throws three to the dogs of war instead of two.

Severus may be bonded with the man but he was just a vampire with pathetic little actual power. Snape was the only one with any semblance of promise, and he kowtowed on command.

Dumbledore shook his head melodramatically “How sad that war looms on the horizon, if only we could all be family” For good measure he sighed audibly.

Hermione bought every last syllable and Ron never doubted a word. A quick poke about in Severus mind gave nothing away and the hormonal golden god was fixated sexually on Severus. The whole thing was going to look very good for Dumbledore if he could take responsibility.

“Severus, Victor, and Harry”intoned Dumbledore assuring their attention“I shall take responsibility for this in its entirety. I believe the Ministry will go easier on me than on Severus here and Victor if anyone asks then what was done for Harry was at my request.”

Severus gave a curt nod, Victor a regal bow. Harry barely restrained himself from kissing them both soundly. Dismissed as such they stood to leave.

Three sets of eyes aside from the painted ones in portraits that is, watched them leave, but at the door Severus stopped and turned.

“Know this and mark my words carefully. If anyone threatens my family, if anyone attempts to come between us, I… Will… Kill… Them…” Snape Snarled “Anyone”

The door closed behind them. Dumbledore twinkled at Hermione and Ron who thanked him for his help and assured him that no nothing would pass beyond these walls, and yes it was good to see Harry happy.

Once they had left Dumbledore felt suddenly older than his years. He shook his head dismissing the thought as ludicrous, but it seemed almost as if Snape’s parting words were meant exclusively for him.
