"It's very noble of you Harry, but you need to train too. You will be the primary target when the Dark Lord returns whether your parents know it or not." Severus said with a sad smile.
"You can train me then Sev!" Harry said smiling.
"Harry, I couldn't possibly…"
"Yes you could!" The boy insisted with a passion, his eyes glowing with a feverish light. "I've seen the books they intend to give Adrian for training and you have already helped me with much more difficult stuff! And you won't take me all over the world just to see experts who won't find anything! And Adrian can keep training and I won't have to go to all these gatherings he goes with our parents!" Harry said in one breath and then softly whispered. "And I won't have to go away…" Severus felt his spirits lift; maybe he could do this. He was after all the youngest potions master in centuries and proficient in many different branches of magic. And to top it all, he was also a professor. He turned his eyes to Merlin, silently asking him for his advice. The man was smiling like crazy.
"I think it's a great idea!" The old wizard exclaimed as Harry jumped up and down excitedly.
"But you said Harry's magic is reaching out to be expanded and…"
"And did I mention I was mostly self-taught?" Merlin asked with a smile. "There was no such thing as a wizarding school in my time, just lots of books. And, if I may say so myself, I didn't end up that bad."
"But that will mean you won't be able to tell anybody you're the Boy Who Lived Harry." Severus stressed his point to make sure the boy knew what he was getting into.
"I don't care!" Harry stated with a smile. "Adrian will get the training he needs and I will be left alone to train as I want. Oh, please Sev, say yes!" And at the sight of those huge, pleading eyes, he couldn't say anything else. Harry was jumping up and down with joy as Severus approached Merlin smiling softly.
"Are you sure this is the right thing for him, sir?" He asked the famous wizard who also smiled at the antics of the little boy in front of him.
"He has the potential to be someone great Severus and to do that he needs more than just training, not that you won't be able to give him that. He needs someone to love him unconditionally and to guide him through the rough patches along the road."
"And do you think that's me?" Severus asked disbelieving.
"I know that's you Severus." Merlin answered cryptically.
"You know?"
"Remember how Harry called you when you told him about the prophecy?"
"He called me 'Dad'." Severus whispered.
"I can't tell you how the prophecy my wife made goes exactly but I can assure you that you are supposed to help Harry though his life; and not because a prophecy dictates it." Merlin explained. "Prophecies are mere guidelines you must understand; you are supposed to help Harry with his life because you're the one who wants to help him the most; you're the one who cares the most. Could you imagine giving him up?"
"I would never!" Severus swore at that moment that he would stand by Harry's side no matter what.
"Sev! Do you think I can get a wand now?" Harry asked out of the blue, approaching the two men.
"You do not have a wand?" Merlin asked confused.
"No sir; I'm only seven."
"In my time we got our first wands at seven." The old wizard commented shrugging.
"That's so unfair! We have to wait until we're eleven!" The boy complained, crossing his hands over his chest, making the two men laugh at his attempt to be stern.
"It does seem unfair." Merlin noted and then added in a more serious tome. "About your wand now Harry, I'm afraid there might be a problem."
"What problem, sir?" Severus asked confused. To his surprise, Merlin drew his own wand; the young man realized why it had seemed different on first sight. It was simply because it was; the main body of the wand was wooden, as normal as it could be, but the handle was decorated with a white metal.
"The metal is silver and it's not just for decoration." The old wizard clarified. "This is a custom wand; it's specifically designed to respond to my magic. It has a core of various materials in a different quantity than normal wands so that it can respond better to me. It is modeled to much my core perfectly." He turned and looked at Severus. "Explain to your wandmaker that you want a custom wand and he will explain what you have to do in turn."
"What would happen if I bought a normal wand?" Harry asked curious.
