****** Stolen away ******
by Slyther1nM1nds
Summary
     Harry isn't Harry Potter, he is Orion Malfoy and he was stole from
     his parents by Albus Dumbledore. He is four years younger than Draco
     and this is his story.
***** FINDING OUT *****
Eleven-year-old Harry Potter was worried, something felt wrong, he felt strange
and his mind felt jumbled. He felt lost, two weeks into his first year of
Hogwarts and he hated it, he hated the staring and the fact that he couldn’t
understand his lessons, he hated the fact that his wand felt wrong in his hand
and he absolutely hated the fact that his skin felt like it wasn’t his. He had
felt like this to some degree since he could remember, felt like he didn’t
belong in this body but since learning about the wizarding world the feeling
grew worse. He didn’t know what to do, the only person he felt that he could
turn to was someone that seemed to hate him. Professor Snape. He didn’t know
what was going to happen but he was going to ask the man to help him.
Harry knew that was his only opportunity to get to Snape without Ron moaning
about him going to see the ‘slimy bastard’. As soon as Ron had fallen asleep
Harry was out of bed and through the common room, expertly avoiding the upper
years and then running through the corridors and down stairs to the dungeons.
He didn’t have a clue what he was going to say to the man but he had a feeling
that the man would help. He had recently followed the man to find his private
quarters so that he knew where to go when the time was right. Harry proceeded
cautiously when he got to the dungeons knowing that any older Slytherins would
love to put him in his place. Finally he reached the portrait which guarded the
potion master’s quarters, Harry hesitated, why was he doing this? The man hated
him. But something deep inside told Harry that the man could help him and so
Harry gathered his courage and knocked twice. His heart pounded as he waited
and he flinched when the Potion master eventually answered, “Ah Potter, what
have I done for you to darken my doorstep?” the man sneered. Harry could’ve
cried he just wanted help.
Severus Snape had been looking forward to a relaxing evening until there was a
sharp knock on the portrait outside. He sighed and made his way over, when he
opened the door he was surprised to see Potter, and he automatically sneered at
the boy spitting out some vitriolic comment. But after that the boy seemed to
crumble before his eyes, he caught the boy just before his knees hit the floor,
picking him up and carrying him through to his sitting room. He lay the young
boy on the bed and was about to cast enervate at him when suddenly the boy’s
body was surrounded by a bright white light and his body raised off the sofa.
Severus shielded his eyes as the light got brighter and brighter until suddenly
the light went out and the boy landed back on the sofa. Severus blinked the
spots out of his eyes quickly and looked towards his student. At this point he
was brought up short because where Harry Potter had once been lay a much
younger child with golden blonde hair. Severus surged forward and kneeled next
to the child his heart racing as his magic flared out, it couldn’t be. They
were told that there had been no hope to find him, how was he here in the body
of Harry Potter? Severus’ brain was working a mile a minute and he forced his
occlumency shields up to slow down, he didn’t know that this was his missing
godson, he had to take this one step at a time. He took a deep breath before
pulling out his wand and casting the heriditatem spell which would show the
boys closest relations. As Severus performed the spell a piece of parchment
appeared in front of him.
Orion Arcturus Malfoy 7 years Pureblood
Parents: Lucius Abraxas Malfoy
Narcissa Lucilla Malfoy nee. Black
Siblings: Draco Lucius Malfoy
Paternal Grandparents: Abraxas Sanctur Malfoy
Elizabeth Rose Malfoy nee. Prince
Maternal Grandparents: Corvus Marius Black
Druella Marie Black nee. Rosier
Aunts/Uncles: Bellatrix Lestrange nee. Black
Godparents: Severus Tobias Snape-Prince
Tom Marvolo Riddle-Slytherin
Ophella Juliet Greengrass nee. Lestrange
Severus gaped at the piece of parchment, his breath catching, Oh God it was
actually him, his Godson was alive and back where he belonged. Orion had been
kidnapped when he was only a year, three and a half years after the Dark Lord’s
supposed downfall. Orion had been in the nursery when suddenly the wards of
Malfoy manor went off alerting Lucius to an intruder. All the inhabitants of
the manor had rushed up to Orion’s room, but by the time they arrived Orion was
gone. They all had tried to find him and using the body of the man he was
processing Tom had managed to pick up a trace of Albus Dumbledore’s magic. They
had of course reported it to the ministry but no one believed them and even
though they searched extensively they had never found him. Severus’ mind
started to spin again, if Dumbledore had stolen Orion and disguised him as
Harry Potter, what had happened to the real Harry Potter, he had obviously
survived the killing curse because Dumbledore had not stolen Orion until over
three years later. Severus couldn’t concentrate on that now though because his
godson was starting to wake.
Harry opened his eyes slowly, his body ached like he had just been beaten by
Uncle Vernon, he groaned as he stretched his sore muscles. Then he started to
panic, he couldn’t see properly it was terribly blurry. He lurched up forcing
his body to respond. He was panicking and he could feel his chest tightening
like when he used to be shut in the cupboard under the stairs.
Severus watched as his Godson panicked his eyes going wide behind those hideous
wire frames. He watched as his Godsons chest started to heave as if struggling
to breathe, but it was when his godson lurched upwards that Severus decided he
needed to intervene. He placed a hand on his Godsons shoulder “Harry.” The name
felt foreign on Severus’ tongue “I need you to take big deep breaths for me
okay? In through your nose and out through your mouth. Good boy, your body is
going into shock Harry because you’ve returned to your true body, just breathe
deeply.” Eventually Severus got the boy to calm down but he could still see the
panic in his eyes. “Harry does anywhere hurt?”
The young boy turned towards him fully and Severus got to see the sparkling
sapphire eyes for the first time in years. “Everywhere, but I can’t see
properly, why can’t I see?” The young boy was getting hysterical again and so
Severus did what felt natural, he scooped the boy up into his arms and placed
him on his hip, the young boy buried his face into Severus’ neck as Severus
bounced gently around the room. Severus suddenly remembered what the boy had
said and automatically Severus knew what the problem was. He nudged the boy
until he looked up at him before he plucked the ugly glasses off of his nose.
“Better?” he asked gently. The little boy nodded and Severus gently sat on the
sofa with him in his lap.
Severus knew that there was a high possibility that Orion would remember who he
was now that whatever charms on him had been broken because Malfoys were known
for their eidetic memories “Do you remember who you are?” Orion nodded slowly.
“I know this must be very difficult for you Orion, but I need to contact your
parents they will be so happy to see you again”
Harry nodded, no he isn’t Harry he is Orion. His head was still spinning as
Uncle Severus placed him gently on the sofa ‘Oh My God Uncle Severus really’
Orion thought wildly it felt natural to call Severus that now that he had
regained his memories from his first year of life. It felt strange to have
memories of Harry Potters first four years of life in his mind though and even
stranger to remember Dumbledore kidnapping and obliviating him. He shuddered,
he really wanted his mum and dad, now that he remembered them all he wanted was
a hug from them.
Severus looked up from where he was knelt on the floor trying to floo call
Narcissa and Lucius, for Merlin’s sake they weren’t answering he thought
hysterically, he turned to look at his Godson who was now shaking on his sofa.
He quickly sent of a patronus to Lucius before standing up and making his way
over to Orion who had tears silently streaming down his face. Severus’ heart
broke in that moment as he saw the too large Gryffindor hanging off Orion’s
shoulders, from what he could see of Orion’s skin he was covered in bruises. He
gently sat on the sofa but his Godson flinched away from him anyway. “Orion.”
He said slowly and the boy’s eyes immediately flickered up to his “I can’t get
a hold of your Mum and Dad but I’ve messaged them and I’m sure they will be
here soon.” The little boy nodded but his bottom lip was trembling and Severus
couldn’t take it anymore so he scooped him up and put him on his lap. The
little boy was sobbing now his little body shuddering violently “Hush Orion,
I’m here I won’t let anything happen to you.” The boy kept crying until ten
minutes later when he fell into an exhausted sleep. Severus sighed as he
finally felt the child’s body relax into his, this was not going to be easy, he
was happy that Orion was back but from what he had seen, the child was hurt and
he couldn’t help but wonder where all those bruises were from. It was not
twenty minutes later when Lucius and Narcissa flooed into his living room with
looks of shock plastered on their faces.

Chapter Notes
     This is how I imagine Orion looking at the minute:-
     https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/554857616573779273/
Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy were out in Paris for the night, distracting
themselves from the fact that Draco was at Hogwarts away from where they could
keep him safe. Lucius freely admitted that both he and his wife were over
protective of Draco but everyone knew that they had reason to be, ever since
Orion had been kidnapped they felt as if there was a gaping hole in their
family. Lucius smiled as he thought of his youngest son a smiling toddler who
could light up the room with his laugh. His thought flashed back to the day
that Orion was born, he had been premature and so small. He had fit into
Lucius’ hand, but he’d gripped his finger so tightly as striking blue eyes
peered up at him for the first time. Orion had golden blonde hair like Lucius’
own mother and his blue eyes came from Narcissa’s father. His little boy had
been beautiful and so happy, Lucius had always gotten up with him in the
mornings and as soon as he had walked into the nursery Orion’s face would break
into a smile, he would pull himself up on the side of the crib and shout
“Dada.” Draco had always been his Mother’s son, wanting her to comfort him and
cuddle him, that’s not to say that Lucius and Draco weren’t close but that
Draco was more similar to his mother in personality. In contrast Orion had
clung to Lucius like a limpet whenever possible. Lucius shook off his thoughts
as Narcissa smiled at him and they continued their meal discussing Draco’s most
recent letter.
As it neared the end of the evening Lucius felt his magic start to pull at him,
and from the look on Narcissa’s face hers was doing the same. Not ten minutes
later Severus patronus appeared in front of them assuring them that nothing was
wrong but urging them to come to Hogwarts. Lucius and Narcissa were instantly
out the door and Lucius pulled his wife to him before apparating to Malfoy
Manor and then flooing to Severus’ personal quarters. The sight that greeted
them was shocking and Lucius struggled to contain his magic as it pulled to the
young child in his best friend’s arms. Lucius felt his wife try to step towards
the pair but he kept a firm am around her waist, they needed to be sure, he
could only think of one explanation for his magic acting like that and he
needed to make sure it was true before letting Narcissa get her hopes up.
“Severus, what’s going on?” Lucius asked hesitantly his eyes never leaving the
young boy in his friend’s arms.
Severus took a deep breath before standing up with Orion still in his arms.
“Harry Potter turned up here, not long ago, I answered the door and he looked
petrified and he fainted, I put him on the sofa and was about to get Pomfrey
when there was an exceptionally bright light, when I looked down, he was much
younger, he was the child that now lies in my arms.” He continued on quickly
when he saw that Lucius was about to say something “As soon as I saw him my
magic started tugging me towards him and I felt the need to cast the heridatam
spell. The results are on the table. Its Orion.”
Lucius felt like all the air left his body at once as his wife reached for the
paper showing the results of the spell. When Lucius saw Orion’s name he could
have cried, they had been so sure that they would never see their baby boy
again, but here he was lying in his Godfathers arms. Severus stepped towards
him and suddenly he was holding his little boy and he took the time to look at
the child he had thought he had lost forever. The silky blonde hair way in
disarray and his son was far too skinny but he could see the similarities
between the boy he was holding now and the boy he had held in his arms for the
first time. Narcissa was silently crying as she stroked her hands through
Orion’s hair. Lucius felt tears cascading down his own cheeks as he looked up
at Severus “Why is he asleep?” Lucius asked.
Severus sighed “I think he used a lot of magic breaking through the aging
potion, glamours and the obliviates. There is also the fact that he is only
seven and he has been trying to do first year spells, we all know that it isn’t
really possible before eleven for a child to actually control their magic”
Severus gulped before saying “I also think that he might be injured, if my
suspicions are correct Orion has been with Lily Potters muggle sister Petunia
and her family. From what I knew of her when I was younger she wasn’t very nice
and I can’t imagine that she married anyone nicer than her. When he de-aged the
uniform was too big, I saw bruises and I’m pretty sure there are scars on his
back.” Lucius felt fury well up inside him at the thought of someone hurting
his son, but he stopped abruptly when Orion started shifting in his arms
responding to his father’s magic. Lucius held Orion close and shushed him.
“What do you think we should do Severus?” Lucius said, his mind too jumbled to
think out a plan and its ramifications, they all knew that no one would believe
the benevolent Dumbledore capable of stealing a child from its family. Lucius
watched as Severus paced in front of the fire while Narcissa took Orion from
Lucius’ arms holding him close to her as the boy snuffled in his sleep.
“I think St Mungo’s should be your first stop, they can confirm that he’s Orion
and they can check for any potions or injuries. But we need to get our story
straight it can’t be known that Orion was used to replace Harry Potter because
no one would believe us and because of this we need a story of how you found
him.” Severus sighed “Lets stick as close to the truth as possible, you were
out when you felt your magic flare, you returned home because you were
unsettled by the event, once you got there you found Orion unconscious. The
aurors will just assume that Orion’s accidental magic which should just be
starting brought him home to you in a time of need.”
Lucius tried to think it through, his mind trying to come up with every problem
that could arise and a solution to each one but all he could think was that he
had his son back. “Okay that’s what we will do then, Severus how do you think
he will react when he sees us?”
Severus smiled “I think Orion’s magic has been pulling him towards me and Draco
since he arrived at the school. I hadn’t realised until now how close he tried
to get to me even though as Harry Potter I treated him horrifically, and
looking back it was the same with Draco. As you’re his parents the pull on his
magic will be even stronger. He also has the Malfoy gift of being able to
remember important things from when he was younger, he remembers you both.”
Lucius felt himself smile, not all wizarding children were able to remember all
the important things from when they were younger but it was quite a common gift
in the Malfoy line, and in this case, it was a godsend that his son would be
able to remember all the important people in the family. Lucius looked at his
wife who still hadn’t taken her eyes off of Orion. His son may have been skinny
but he was quite tall and Lucius knew that his wife’s arms were getting tired
“Let me carry him love.” He said quietly.
Narcissa looked at Lucius, knowing he was right, that her arms were getting
tired, but she never wanted to let her little boy go, he was so relaxed against
her and she knew that soon he would be in front of a healer and that things
wouldn’t be this calm for long, her son was taller that Draco had been at this
age but he was so much lighter and she dreaded to think what the healer’s scans
might pick up.
