Mated at last

Part 2
Why did you??
************************************************************************

Severus said, "Keep them away from my son." He walked down the stairs with Lucius and Harry was floating behind them.

Lucius said, "What did they do to my mate?" He grabbed Vernon and said, "You touched what is rightfully mine. I should kill you where you stand. I doubt that my mate would like that."

Vernon said, "That thing never had life so good. Pretending to be someone he is not. Who is his parents? I know that thing is not my nephew." He did not see the danger in yelling at what he felt was a freak. He yelled at Severus, "You have no right to that boy. The headmaster of his school left him with us so get your hands off my property."

Severus turned his eyes to the sky and mentally called for his most cruel mate. His mind called out, 'Vincent help me. This person hurt our son badly and he will not survive. That old man was wanting them to kill our lovely son. HELP ME!!!!'

In a cloud of red, Vincent descended on the ground and walked up to his mate and said, "What did these humans do to my son?"

Severus turned his tear filled eyes to Vincent and said, "The fat man pushed a knife into his lung. I repaired that damage, but his mako energy is so low that he is dying. If young Hadrian dies then Anna will not live any longer. I need to get him home forever and there his family and mate can heal him."

Vincent said, "Leave them to me. Chaos needs a little challenge and they will do nicely. I will not allow Chaos to kill them." He stopped talking and looked at Vernon who noticeably swallowed. Vincent smiled and said, "You both take young Hadrian to his mother and grandfather for healing."

Both Severus and Lucius nodded and walked out with Harry. They disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Vincent turned back to the Durselys and said, "Now for some fun."

Outside number 4 Privet Drive, screams could be heard from the street.

Vincent walked out with all three Dursleys in one of his hands. In a flurry of red, all four people disappeared.

~Valentine Manor~

The front doors burst open and Severus ran in ahead of Lucius. He shouted, "Cecil, where is my wife and her father?"

Cecil pointed at the library. He felt bad that he did not see the danger that young Hadrian was in. He saw the injured body of young Hadrian and the wounds that body carried. He started to cry. He felt two arms enclose around his waist.

Tidus said, "What is wrong, love?" He saw Cecil point to the young man that was being floated into the library. He was confused as to why that young man would affect his lover in this drastic manner.

Sirius ran into the library. He heard the alarm being raised by Severus.

Anna walked out and said, "Tidus, go prepare some rooms for our guest. Cecil stand guard outside the library and wait for Vincent. When he arrives allow him entrance to the library." She looked around and shouted, "Draco!!"

Draco ran to Anna and said, "What is it? Was my father or his mate hurt really bad?"

Anna said, "Young Hadrian was hurt by Lily's family. Your father is still feeling the backwash. Your father told me to tell you that you are not returning to that school. You will be studying magic under Severus and your father."

Draco nodded and asked, "Is there anything that I can do?"

Anna smiled and said, "Just be there for your father and his mate. No fighting until we know the full extent of his wounds. I feel that he would be in your training section to start with." She walked over to the stairs and shouted, "Cloud!!" The spiky blond headed warrior stuck his head over the railing. Anna continued, "Cloud, set up a training schedule for young Hadrian."

The front door burst open and a cloud of deep red and gold runs in. Vincent said, "Where is my son?" His red eyes caught a glimpse of Cecil standing defeated at the library door. He walked over to the door and said, "Little Hadrian will survive this. The mako kept him alive this long."

Anna turned and said, "Vincent is right, Cecil. You could not have known how they would treat him." She looked at Vincent and asked, "Where are they? The ones who did this to my little baby boy." She saw Vincent's head look up and she knew that the people who hurt her son were in the tower. She smiled.

As Anna's smile faded, a small body ran into her. He was moving away from Lucius. Harry looked him and shook his head. He said, "Stay away from me, Malfoy." He grabbed Anna's and Vincent's arm. He was trembling as he said, "Why am I here? I don't know what is going on? First all of you say go back to Lily's family and now I am here."

Anna said, "It must be the mako protecting his mind from what happened." She turned Harry to face her and continued, "My little Emperor, you did return to Lily's family. Those people hurt you and your father had to take you out of there. Your grandfather and I nearly died when we felt your mind slip away from us. Your mate here is just trying to comfort you."

Harry listened and looked ashamed at Lucius. He said very softly, "sorry." He was stunned to see Lucius smile at him. He turned to his other father and said, "What about school and my things?"

The Emperor walked out of the library and said, "You will be tutored here by your parents and all the warriors you see here. You however will not be starting your training today. I hope that you can always smile here. My little Hadrian."

Harry smiled and said, "I will try." He looked as though he was going to continue but shut his mouth when he heard another voice cut in.

Severus said, "You will do more than try. You are to rest. I will not risk losing you, my son. Now the question remains, do you want to stay like that or become who you really are?"

Harry smiled and said, "I want to be your son, not a Potter."

Severus smiled and said, "Look in the mirror and say goodbye to the Potter in you, my son."

Harry turned in the mirror and said, "Goodbye, Harry Potter."

Four voices said in unison, "Hadrian Severus Vincent Valentine Snape."

Harry groaned and watched as his bones became like Severus' but his eye color brightened to the deepest green he had ever seen. He noticed there was gold and red chips in his eyes. His hair lengthened to his waist and changed color to become the deepest black. He faced his family and said, "What happened?"

Anna said, "You look like all of your family. The gold and red chips in the green irises are from your grandfather and Vincent, your bone structure is that of Severus. Your green eyes are from me and the mako." She passed Harry off to Lucius and said, "Now you need to rest. Lucius will take you to your rooms."

Lucius nodded and walked over to Harry. He said, "The manor is quite unnerving if you have never been here. I ended up getting lost on my first visit here and I was just looking for the garden door to go talk to Severus, I however ended up in the kitchen." He smiled as he heard Harry's chuckle.

The Next Morning:

Harry woke up in an unfamiliar bed and started to whimper. He jumped as the door was flung open. He saw that his parents were there in the doorway.

Anna walked into the room and said, "What is the matter, My little Emperor?"

Harry said, "Why did you tell me to return to those people?"

Anna sighed, "I can only ask for your forgiveness in that. I thought that you were safe from that old man. I was wrong as was the rest of the family."

Harry looked back at the door and noticed a man standing there that he had not seen before. He asked, "Who are you?"

Firion smiled and said, "I am Firion. Anna is my sister."

Harry said, "Nice to meet you. I guess that would make you my uncle."

Firion nodded. He said, "Young Hadrian should meet the rest of the household and get into the swing of classes here, Anna."

Anna nodded and said, "Come with me, my son." She held out her hand to Harry.

Harry said, "Why did he say classes?"

Anna smiled.

Severus laughed and said, "You will be taught here. Magic studies are with Lucius and myself. All other is by everyone here in the manor."

Harry nodded. He looked down the hall and noticed that Draco was walking out of one room.

Draco noticed Harry and said, "Hello Hadrian."

Harry looked at his mother confused.

Anna chuckled and said, "Draco is not as cruel here as he is at Hogwarts. That old man does something to that boy and it makes him cruel and rude. Here he is calm and friendly to those who are friends and family. Which you are family?"

Harry looked even more confused. He said, "How is that possible?"

Severus said, "Son, Lucius is your mate and that makes you a part of Draco's family."

Harry nodded and asked, "Why is he my mate? He is old enough to be my father."

Anna said, "The mako in your body chose him for you. No one has control over that. I think that you should try and become part of this family before committing to your mate."

Harry nodded. He was knocked over by a body that was running down the hall way.

A voice said, "Sorry. Excuse me but I am late for my next class."

Severus said angrily, "Look from now on Onion. You could have hurt my son."

A young man stopped and said, "I'm sorry. I have been late to Vincent's class more than once due to my mate."

Harry stood up and said, "It is alright father. I am not hurt in the slightest." He faced the young man and said, "Hello. My name is Hadrian. I allow people to call me Harry for short."

Onion Knight waved and said, "Hello young Hadrian." He took off down the hall.
