"Hello, Severus," Aro says. Harry disguised as Severus cringe and suppresses a growl at Aro. "What are you doing here?"

*Harry's POV*

"I have come to protect the Cullens," I say. "They're my new family." Pain passes Aro's and Jane's faces.

"Why would you help them?" Aro asks. "We're your family."

"Like I said, they're my new family," I say. "No one hurts my family."

"Severus Tobias Snape," Aro yells at me. "I am your father and you will listen to me!"

"I won't," I say. "Last time I checked, you disowned me. I'm a grown man and I don't have to listen to you! I have found my mate within this growing family and I will defend them to my death!" They all stand there while I seethed.

"Well then," Aro says. "You shall die amongst them." The battle began with the Volturi charging at the Cullens. I hadn't released the shield over them, so none of them could get to the Cullens. The Volturi members would hit the shield and bounce backwards.

"I don't think so," I say, while I mount my broom. I take off into the sky. I start launching fire balls among them, burning them to ashes. I continue to throw fire balls at them until it was only Aro, Jane, and a small child left. I land and dismount from my broom with style. "What's with the human child?"

"After you left, we took the kid in," Aro says. I go over to the child and look at the child's body. The child was very malnourished and dehydrated. The child was covered bruises, old scars, wounds, burns, and was incredibly dirty. The child was shaking a little from being tortured, skinny, and had many broken bones. The child's clothes, if that's what you would call it, was way too big, ripped, and dirty. I pick the child up gently and the child tenses.

"I'm not going to hurt you," I say softly. The child relaxes a bit and snuggles into my chest. I carry the child past the shield and to Esme. I hand the child to Esme. I walk back towards Aro and Jane. "I believe I have some business to attend to." I grab each of them by their hair and drag them off the battlefield. I torture them for a while and finally kill them when they started begging for death. I clean up the mess I made, make myself look like me again, and head towards the battlefield.

When I got back to the battlefield, the child was screaming and crying while Esme tried to soothe the child. I grabbed my backpack and put it on. I take down the shield around them, walk over to Esme, and take the child from her. I hold the child to my chest and the child quiets and snuggles into me. We all headed back to the Cullen house.

I take the child to the bathroom. I strip the child, so I could give them a bath. The child was a boy. I gave him a bath, conjured up some clothes, and dressed him.

"I'll be back," I yell through the house. I hold onto the boy as I shimmer us to Hogwarts and into the living room of our quarters. I take the shield down. "Sev, I'm back." They come running into the room and hug me. They almost squished the little boy. "Don't squish the boy. A squished little boy isn't a good thing. He's small enough as it is." They all looked down at the child in my arms.

"Who's the child?" Sev asks.

"I never caught his name from the parents, but he's ours now," I say. Their eyes widened and they opened their mouthes to say something. "Before you say anything, I didn't kidnap him. His parents were Aro and Jane Volturi. When I saw him, you couldn't even tell that he even was a boy. He was and still is very malnourished and dehydrated for now, but not for much longer. He was a covered in bruises and cuts all over his body. He was very dirty and his clothes were dingy and torn. He was shaking even because them using Jane's power, which is basically the cruciatus curse, on him. I couldn't leave him with them."
