Harry's Inheritance

Chapter 12

I morph back to my original looks and we walk out of the alley. We head into a clothes shop and get little Carlisle a winter and summer wardrobe, swimming trunks, a thin coat, a winter jacket, scarf, sneakers, flip flops, a pair of snow boots, and everything else we will need for him. I pay for everything and we leave the store. Next, we go into a kids shop. We buy a bed, wardrobe, dresser, toy chest, body wash, shampoo, baby shampoo, baby body wash, a few posters for his room, a 3DS with some age-appropriate games for the system, an xbox one with some age-appropriate games along with 4 controllers, some magical and muggle children books, lots of muggle and magical toys, a couple of bath toys, and a few stuffed animals. We had enough. I shimmer us back into our quarters. We laid Carlisle down on the couch for a small nap before dinner.

I make another room on the other side of our room. We put Carlisle's stuff together in his room. It was dinner time by the time we were finished with his room. We wake Carlisle up and head for the Great Hall for some dinner. Everyone stared at us as we walked up to the teacher's table. Carlisle scoots closer to me. I stop, pick him, and carry him the rest of the way. Sev sits down while I conjure another plate and chair. I put him in the chair between Sev and I and sit down. I push Carlisle up to the table and put some food on his plate. I give him the nutrient potion and put some milk in his cup before piling my plate with food. I look over to see if he was eating, but he had his head bowed. I watch as he continues to have his head down then he puts his head up and starts to eat. I smile and start eating myself. Ginny approaches the teacher's table and heads towards me. She stops right in front of Carlisle. He stops eating, scoots back in his chair, and looks like he's about to cry. I scoot my chair out a bit before picking him up and putting him in my lap. He cuddles into me and calms down.

"Who's the kid, Harry?" she asks. Everyone was silent as they waited for my answer.

"This is Adam Carlisle Potter," I say. "Severus and I's son." They all gasp. Some people try to jump on Sev and send hexes towards him. "It's not like that. A friend I made this past summer works at a hospital. Little Carlisle was very malnourished and mistreated when he was admitted into the hospital where my friend works at. The parents were arrested and his last living relatives came to the hospital to visit him and was willing to take him in. When his relatives left him that night to go home to get some rest, they were in a car accident and sadly died. He was going to go into the foster care. Before they were able to do that, my friend suggested to the social workers to let him get ahold of me and see if i would take him, which they agreed to. My friend sent me a letter informing me of Carlisle's condition and that he didn't have a name yet, since the parents always called him boy and freak because of his magic and that there wasn't even no real records besides birth place, date, and time. I instantly knew I wanted to raise him, but I knew I couldn't raise him by myself. Since Severus and I have became close friends, I decided to see if he would like to help me raise him. I sent the letter back to my friend saying I would take him. My friend called me before we left for Hogwarts and told me that they were going to be bring him to me today and to meet him at the airport. When Poppy gets the adoption papers set up, Adam Carlisle Potter will be his real name and Severus and I will be his official parents." Most of the girls were crying their eyes out. "Now that my story is finished, will you please sit down, Ginny. He's not really used to being around a lot of people close up."

"How dare you, Harry Potter!" Ginny yells at me, making Carlisle start to cry. "You can't tell me what to do and keep the brat quiet why don't you." Everything was dead quiet. I know my eyes are beginning to glow.

"Ginerva Molly Weasley, you're lucky that Carlisle is with me," I say. She stands there while I soothe Carlisle. After I got him calmed down, I cover his ears with my hands. "It wouldn't do you well to insult me or little Carlisle, so shut the hell up and sit your ass back down in your seat." She doesn't move at all. "Now!" She scurries back to the Gryffindor table. I take my hands away from his ears and place him back in his seat. Sev, Carlisle, and I go back to eating. I notice Carlisle's plate is empty and look over at him.

"Do you want more?" I ask him. He nods. "How about some green beans, mashed potatoes, and some more roast beef?" He nods and I put some more on his plate. We both continue to eat. By the time he was done, he was very messy. I sigh as I pick him up out of the chair. He rubs his hands all over my hair, putting mashed potatoes in my hair. Sev went on to our quarters to draw a bath for Carlisle. I chuckle and spin around in place, making him squeal and hold onto me tightly.

"Stop it daddy," he says. "Me dizzy." I stop and smile at him. I kiss his cheek and he gives me a wet kiss with his mashed potatoes face. After our little fun in the Great Hall, I head for our quarters. Half way there, I hear crying.

I go into a room on my right to find a naked Ron over a naked Hermione and a naked Ginny cowering in a corner. No one, except Ginny, noticed I came in. Ginny ran to me. I put Carlisle down on a table and cradle Ginny in my arms. I magic clothes on Ginny and comfort her until she stops crying. I place her beside Carlisle and go over to Ron. I pull her away from Hermione and start wailing my fists down on his body. I continue until he's almost dead. I give him a final kick to the ribs and leave him there. I sigh, make him stable, and send him to the Hospital Wing.

I magic some clothes on Hermione. I place Carlisle on the floor. Hermione and Ginny snuggles into my sides. With Carlisle in front of us, we make our way to Sev and I's quarters. I give the password and help Carlisle in.

"Sev, I gotta go take Ginny and Hermione back to the Gryffindor Common Room," I say. "I'm leaving Carlisle with you and I'll be back soon." He nods and I leave. I walk Hermione and Ginny back to their Common Room and go back to our quarters.

We both give him a bath. We spent the evening playing around as a family. I play around with Carlisle while Sev gets a shower and Sev plays with him while I get a shower.

I read him a bedtime story while he graded the students' papers. Sev and I put a sleeping Carlisle in his bed together after the story was finished. We leave him in his room alone and cuddle on the couch for a bit. We were brought out of our peaceful thoughts as we heard Carlisle screaming and crying. We run into his room to find him sitting up in bed and drenched in sweat. We get him calmed down and out of his nightclothes and into new ones. We try to lay him down in his bed, but he won't let go of our pajama shirts.

"What's the matter, Carlisle?" I ask.

"Nightmare," he says in his baby voice. "Me sleep with you?" I look over to Sev, who gently nods his consent.

"Sure," I say. "Come on, buddy. Let's go to bed." He smiles at me as I pick him up and carry him to our room. I lay him in the middle of the bed and crawled under the blankets on my side of the bed, the right side, while Sev climbs under the blankets on other side of the bed. We both kiss Carlisle's forehead and give each other a kiss. We all settle down for bed and drift off into a deep sleep. The next day, we ate breakfast in the Great Hall with no issues and hung out with my sisters, the Cullens, and the pack for the rest of the day. Everyone got along with little Carlisle Potter.
