Harry's Inheritance

Chapter 12

Sev comes over to me, takes the boy into out of my arms, and into his arms. The baby starts the to cry, but soon settles down.

"We need to take him to Poppy to see how old he is and to get him checked out," I say. "Then, take Bella and Selena back to Forks, so go get your stuff." They nod and walk off to their room. When they return, they have their backpacks on. I wrap my arms around Bella's and Selena's shoulders. With Sev carrying our new son and in front of me, we all head for the Hospital Wing. We walk in and lay the small boy on a bed. "Poppy, we need you please." She comes running out of her office.

"Ah, Mr. Potter," she says. "What can I do for you?"

"We need you to give this little boy a checkup and tell us what you can find out about him please," I say. She nods and gets to work. After a while, she's finished.

"Well, he's very dehydrated and malnourished," she tells us. "He's 5 years old and a half blood wizard with vampire venom in his system, too. He doesn't have a name, either. He was born on February 16th. He will have to go on a strict diet and take nutrient potions with every meal."

"Will Sev and I be able to blood adopt him?" I ask. She nods.

"I'll have to get the papers from the Ministry of Magic," she says. "It'll take a few days to receive them and get the ritual set up. You should really give him a name now, though." I nod.

Severus and I look at each, having a silent discussion before turning to the boy.

"Is there a particular name you'd prefer?" I ask him. He shrugs his shoulders. "Okay... how about Adam Carlisle Potter?" After a few moments, he slowly begins to nod his head in acceptance.

"Thank you, Poppy," I say, picking the small boy up. He snuggles into my chest.

"No problem, Mr. Potter," she says as she goes back into her office. I put my hand out and they pile their hands on top of mine. I shimmer us into the Cullen house.

"We're back," I say. Alice flies into Selena's arms and Bella flies into Jake's arms. I put Carlisle down and wrap my arms around Sev. I peck his lips and lead us away from the Cullens. "I want to know what you think about all of this and about keeping him. If you don't want to, I know Rose would take very good care of him."

"Are you kidding?" he says. "Harry, there's no way we can part with him now. We both love him as our own and I wouldn't change that for the world."



"It's perfect for him," he says. "We need to get him some clothes, too." I nod.

"Wanna go now or later?" I ask.

"Let's just get it over with," he says. "I hate shopping unless it's necessary and it's definitely necessary." I nod. We walk back over to where the Cullens stood waiting on us to get done talking to each other and pick up little Carlisle. He snuggles into my chest. "We have to go shopping for him, but we'll be back tomorrow."

"Can we at least get a name for him before you leave?" Rose pleads. Sev and I look at each other and smile.

"Adam Carlisle Potter," I say. Everyone was shocked.

"But why?" Carlisle asks.

"If it wasn't for all of you, my sisters wouldn't be safe right now and we wouldn't have little Carlisle here with us safe and sound," I say. "Plus, we would like you and Esme be a set of godparents and Rose and Emmett be another." They all smile at us. "If there's no more questions, we gotta get some major shopping done. We shall see all of you tomorrow." I wrap my free arm around Sev and shimmer us into an alley in Diagon Alley.
