-Chapter Thirty-Five-

When the wizarding world found out Fudge's sentence the morning after the trial, shouts of joy were heard everywhere. But it wasn't the only time that the shouts would be heard that day.

Later that evening after the paper came with the article about Fudge's imprisonment, letters from the temporary minister arrived going to every person over the legal age to vote.

Every notarized note said the same thing, with the exception of different names and times that they were expected to be at the ministry building to cast their vote.

To: Harry James Snape-Malfoy.

You are hereby summoned to cast your vote for the minister of magic. Due to recent events the election day has been moved up to this upcoming Tuesday March 18th, 1997.

You are expected to be at the ministry building at no later then 9:45 AM to cast your vote. Lateness is not tolerated. If you are late you will wait around for the last person to vote before you can cast yours.

We thank you in advance for being there on time and for helping us to improve our ministry.

From: Camden Shaffer. Temporary Minister of Magic.

"So they've moved the elections up to this Tuesday. This will all be over soon then." Harry said after setting his letter aside.

"Not particularly. The election will be over, but working to protect the wizarding world is a whole other step that will take a while to secure. But the election is the biggest hurdle that we need to jump. Once we're over that it should be all downhill from there." Voldemort said

"Are you going to try and get equal rights for magical creatures like werewolves and vampires? I mean the werewolves could have to take the wolfsbane potion and then we wouldn't have to worry about them during the full moon. And for the vampires, what about blood banks or a place where people will willingly let the vampire feed from them. Then we wouldn't need to worry about them feeding on the unwilling."

"That's something that we can work towards if I get the position of minister. But we should focus on keeping our world safe from muggles first." Voldemort said to Harry.

"I know. I just know that Remus really wants to have a child, but since the old ministry banned it and placed anti-conception spells on the submissive werewolves he can't until it's removed by the minister or one of the ministers underlings." Harry said smiling sadly as he looked over at the crib that held his own son.

"Don't worry Harry. I never agreed with the others that werewolves and other magical creatures didn't deserve to have the same rights as normal wizards. And, if I'm right, many others didn't believe in treating them like that too. They only did it because the ones in power could have ruined them if they didn't."

"How did the ministry, well not just the ministry but anyone in a seat of power, end up so corrupted? It doesn't just appear out of thin air, it had to have started somewhere." Harry said curling his lip in disgust.

"I suppose it all started when Dumbledore got his seat of power. He was corrupt since his birth. Once he defeated Grindelwald no one ever thought to question him and did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted it done."

"I wouldn't doubt it. In almost everyones mind Dumbledore could do no wrong...but as you and I know he can and he did." Harry said shaking his head. "Alright lets get off of that topic. So how many cubs do you think Fenrir and Remus will have?"

"Well whenever Fenrir's pack mates, the ones whom weren't cursed sterile, had pups his eyes always had a look of jealousy in them. So they'll probably have quite a few." Voldemort said remembering the meetings when, Fenrir would introduce the new pups to him.

"Well at least we know that he'd be thrilled if Remus announced that he was pregnant. I just wonder if the curse might have caused any long term damage."

"Like what Harry?" Voldemort asked even though he thought he already knew the answer.

"Permanent infertility, pregnancies that always end in a miscarriage, a stillborn baby, I can list a lot of things that I can think of that those kinds of spells could cause. I mean they weren't created to stop someone who wanted to get pregnant from getting pregnant. They were created to protect witches and wizards who could die from getting pregnant." Harry said.

"I know Harry,but that's just the way people are. They'll twist things so that they fit into their master plan regardless of if it isn't how it was meant to be." Voldemort said pulling Harry against his side. "So who do you plan on voting for the next minister?" Voldemort asked innocently.

"Well there's this cute guy that's running for the position and I can't help but fantasize about a man in that kind of position." Harry whispered climbing onto his mates lap.

"A cute man huh? Does he happen to have red eyes, black hair, and a sexy little submissive mate?" Voldemort asked grinning.

Giggling, Harry stole a quick kiss then said, "Yeah. I heard something like that."

"Well that's good because I heard that he's had his eyes on you too." Voldemort said slipping his hands around Harry's waist then under his shirt and up his back.

Giving a snort of laughter, Harry buried his head against his mates shoulder as he tried to stifle his laughter.

Pulling his hands out from under Harry's shirt, Voldemort then wrapped his arms around his waist and held him close. They sat their there together in silence for a few minutes before Dante's soft cooing drew their attention to him.

Slipping off of Voldemort's lap, Harry made his way over to the crib and picked Dante up.

"Hello baby. Did you have a good nap?" Harry asked jouncing Dante as he walked back over to the couch.

Giving a yawn, Date opened his eyes which were slowly changing from the normal blue of a baby's eyes to a shade of coral red-a mix between Harry's gray and Voldemort's crimson eyes.

"His eyes are starting to change colors." Harry said turning Dante so that Voldemort could see.

Nodding, Voldemort slightly frowned when he saw the color.

"What? What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"His eyes are red...do you think he'll be criticized for having red eyes?"

"If you were still thought to be evil I'd have to say yes. But since you're on the side of the righteous then I'd have to say no. Heck people will probably be envious since only people descended from you will have a variation of red eyes." Harry said stroking Dante's head.

"The side of the righteous?" Voldemort asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well okay. Maybe not the side of the righteous...how about the side of whatever the heck you want to happen." Harry suggested.

Snorting, Voldemort wrapped an arm around Harry's shoulder and pulled him against his side careful not to crush, Dante in between them.

"No. I think that the side of Dante sounds better. After all we are doing this to protect witches, wizards, and magical creatures from the prejudices of muggles who hate anything that's different. But most of all we're now doing this for our son so that he doesn't need to worry about attacks from muggles or from muggleborn sympathizers."

"That sounds perfect. At first it was for us and for the ones who grew up like we did, but now it's for our son and then for them." Harry said nuzzling the side of his face into Voldemort's shoulder. "Now how about we order some dinner then get to bed. Because tomorrow you have a school to run and I have classes to attend."

"That sounds perfect." Voldemort said snapping his fingers to call his own house elf.

Popping in, the small house elf bowed her head towards them then asked, "What can Mittzy be doing for headmaster sir?"

"Mittzy bring down some dinner for my mate and I." Voldemort said before waving his hand to dismiss her.

Bowing once more, Mittzy popped out of the room to do her masters bidding.

Shaking his head, Harry gave a rueful grin and asked, "Is it really that hard to say thank you?"

"Harry, thank you isn't something that I say to house elves or witches and wizards. It's just not something that I find myself saying."

"I know, but luckily I say it enough for the both of us." Harry said grinning.

A few seconds later, Mittzy popped back into the room and placed a few platters onto the table and bowed her head.

"Can Mittzy be getting yous anything else?" She asked.

"No that will be all." Voldemort said waving his hand.

"Thank you Mittzy." Harry said before she popped back out of the room.

"What?" Voldemort asked when he caught Harry's eyes.

"What happened to saying 'thanks'?"

"Look if it's that important to you then I'll try to remember to say 'thank you' every now and then."

"That's all that I ask. We don't need Dante to grow up thinking that being rude is alright...even if you and most of his family think that it is." Harry said remembering how most of his family acted. "He can grow up confident and aloof, but he doesn't need to be rude." Harry said after he caught the face that his mate made.

"I suppose that you may be right, but..."

"No there are no buts. He won't be raised to be rude to anyone." Harry said crossing his unoccupied arm across his chest.

"It usually works better if you cross both arms." Voldemort said grinning.

"Well if you would hold our son I'll properly cross my arms to show my displeasure." Harry joked back with a smile covering his face. "Now start eating." He added as he summoned one of Dante's bottles over to him.

Dropping the stasis charm that kept the formula from going bad, Harry gently pressed the nipple against Dante's lips.

As soon as the bottle touched his lips, Dante quickly started to guzzle the formula.

"Easy honey it's not going anywhere." Harry said softly.

After he finished about an ounce and a half, Harry gently sat Dante up on his shoulder and gently started to pat his back to expel any air that had went in with the formula. A few seconds later a loud burp erupted from, Dante.

Laying Dante back down, Harry placed the bottle back to his lips and allowed the baby to continue drinking, but after only a few pulls Dante had closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.

Slowly getting up so he didn't disturb the baby, Harry made his way into the bedroom to lay Dante in his crib.

Making his way back over to the couch, Harry dropped down onto it then accepted the plate that his mate held out for him.

"Thanks." Harry mumbled digging into the fried chicken and mashed potatoes covered in butter and gravy.

"Are you pregnant again?" Voldemort asked jokingly as Harry practically inhaled the food off of his plate.

"Of course not. You'd need to actually touch me for me to be pregnant again." Harry said sounding slightly amused and annoyed at the same time.

"Yes, but since Dante shares our room with us we can't have any time to ourselves." Voldemort said reaching over to tug Harry against his side again.

"I know, and that's why I've been thinking that I should ask my mum to watch Dante while I go to my classes. To see if I can handle being away from Dante and to work up to being away from him for a night." Harry said laying his head against Voldemort's shoulder.

"Are you ready to start doing that? It was only recently that you wouldn't even put him in the bedroom while we were in here."

"I have to get used to it eventually. And now seems like a good time to start trying. Besides tomorrow I have Potions and Dark Arts and Defense. I'm not required to be there since I took the personal leave, but I'm sure they won't have a problem if I show up. And since they're my parents I'm sure they won't have a problem with me leaving if I start to panic."

"You're right. Now come on it's time for us to get to bed." Voldemort said standing up.

Nodding, Harry stood up as well and followed his mate into the bedroom where he proceeded to strip out of his silk bathrobe to reveal a pair of silk green sleep pants.

Crawling onto the bed, Harry rolled onto his side and draped his arm over his mates when Voldemort wrapped an arm around his waist.

Closing his eyes, Harry quickly fell into a peaceful sleep while listening to the breathing of both his mate and child.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tuesday had rolled around quickly enough and the time for Harry to go and cast his vote for the next minister was quickly approaching.

"Are you sure that you'll be alright here with Dante by yourself?" Harry asked.

"Harry, you'll only be gone for ten or fifteen minutes. Besides I won't be here alone. James, Lucius, Sirius, and Draco have already went and cast their votes earlier today. What's bothering you? You left Dante with James yesterday and you were fine all day." Voldemort said.

"Yes, but I was in the same building as Dante. Now I'll really be away from him." Harry said looking down at Dante, whom he hadn't let go of since they've been awake.

"If you don't trust us to keep Dante safe, then remember that Charlemaigne will be there as well. And you know that he won't let anything happen to his mate." Voldemort said.

"You know that I trust all of you with Dante." Harry said handing Dante over to his father. "I guess I'm still thinking about what Dumbledore did before I found out that I was pregnant."

"Don't worry about him. He's long dead and can no longer cause any problems for us." Voldemort said pressing a kiss against Harry's lips.

"I know, I just don't want to lose the family I finally have." Harry admitted.

"You won't. Now come on Severus will be waiting for you so that you can go to the ministry building together." Voldemort said picking up the baby bag that sat on the couch and slid it onto his shoulder.

"How did they decide on times for everyone here in the wizarding world?" Harry asked.

"By your last name. For example, Sirius' last name begins with a 'B' so he went at one of the earliest times available. They start so early so that they can get all the votes in and accounted for by around twelve thirty. When you cast your vote it goes to a magically sealed room so that the votes can't be changed or tampered with. Once the last vote is cast an announcement will go to the winner of the election. One will also go to the papers who will then write an article that will be sent out to inform the wizarding world of who the minister is."

"But I have two last names. How did they decide which one to use?" Harry asked.

"They use the first last name, unless you're married and you hyphenated your last names. If that's the case they use the dominants last name. But in most marriages or bondings the submissive gives up their last name and takes the dominants." Voldemort explained.

Nodding, Harry turned and made his way out of the room followed by Voldemort.

"Ya know I don't think that you're going to be able to keep your big bad image." Harry said after glancing back at the two.

"Why's that?" Voldemort asked sounding offended.

"Well look at you. You're carrying a baby and a diaper bag...that's not exactly scary."

"Oh well, I guess I'll just have to work on a different image then." Voldemort said after looking down at Dante and the diaper bag.

Smiling, Harry walked out of his fathers office then stopped when he was outside in the hallway.

"I'm going to head up to the front doors. Father said that he would meet me up there." Harry said dropping a kiss on Dante's forehead.

"We'll be in your parents room with your brother and Sirius when you get back." Voldemort said pressing a kiss against Harry's lips.

Nodding, Harry dropped one last kiss on Dante's forehead then started to walk backwards down the hall until the turned down a corner.

Turning around Harry walked quickly up the stairs until he reached the main entrance where his father was waiting for him.

"You're here already?" Severus asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, but lets get going before I decide that I'm not going." Harry said rubbing his hands against his white leather pants.

Nodding, Severus wrapped an arm around Harry's shoulder and led him out of the castle and towards the end of the wards.

"Hold on to me, I'm going to apparate us to the ministry building." Severus said when they stepped out of the wards.

Wrapping his hand around his fathers arm, Harry held on tight as his father apparated them away from the castle.

When they landed inside the sanctioned room for apparation, Harry rocked until he regained his senses.

Looking over at the door the two of them met the eyes of a familiar Auror.

"Mr. Snape and Mr. Snape-Malfoy, if you'll follow me I will lead you to the room where you will cast your votes." Auror Devine said smiling at Harry.

"It's nice to see a familiar face around here." Harry said as they walked through the halls filled with unfamiliar witches and wizards.

"The building is always like this whenever the elections roll around. It's actually more crowded then with other times because all of these witches and wizards have a last name with that starts with either, 'S,T,U,or V'." Devine said stopping at a room. Opening the door, he motioned for Severus and Harry to enter.

Stepping in behind them, Devine pointed at all of the booths and said, "You can go into any empty booth and there will be a blank sheet of parchment in there. When you're sure you know who you want to vote for tap your wand on the parchment while thinking of the persons name. When you have done that the parchment will flash a green color meaning that your vote has been added in. That's all you need to do. Once you're done come back out here and I'll lead you back to the apparation room."

When Devine was back out in the hallway, Harry turned to face his father and said, "Well this will be simple. I'll see you when I'm done."

"Of course. Go ahead and I shall meet you here by the door when you are done." Severus said making his way over to one of the empty booths.

Following his fathers lead, Harry made his way to one of the empty booths and immediately took his wand out of his pocket. Thinking his mates name over and over again, Harry tapped the parchment and watched as it flashed green.

Once the light cleared, Harry made his way out of the booth and back to his father, who was leaning against the wall by the door.

"Well that was rather easy and boring." Harry said when he reached Severus' side.

"It usually is when you already know who you are voting for before you get here." Severus said opening the door and stepping outside.

"All done?" Devine asked sounding slightly surprised.

"Of course. It wasn't that hard to decide." Harry said as he led them back down the hall.

When they stopped outside of that apparation room, Auror Devine turned to them and said, "All of us Aurors have been told to tell you not to talk about who you have voted for until the results are out...I don't think anyone really listens but..." He trailed off.

"We'll try not to." Harry said with a grin.

"That's all I ask." Devine said as they walked into the room.

Stepping into the room, Harry wrapped a hand around his fathers arm and allowed him to apparate them back to Hogwarts.

When he saw the enormous walls of Hogwarts, Harry let out a breath and said, "How about we get back to the family."

"That sounds like a good idea." Severus said walking towards the entrance.

Moving together down the hall in silence the two made their way quickly down to the quarters that housed Harry's parents.

When they stopped outside of the room, Severus whispered the password then slipped inside followed by Harry.

"How did it go?" Voldemort asked looking up from where he was feeding Dante.

"Fine. We were in and out in like two minutes." Harry said sitting down beside his mate and child. "I thought that Charlemaigne was going to be here."

"He was for a little while, but his parents are heading back to Russia in a few hours. He went to spend some time with them before they left."

"Shouldn't he be going with them? I mean I know he's registered for next year here at Hogwarts, but shouldn't he live with his parents?"

"His parents are going to send him money from their family vaults each month so that he can live on his own. He's going to find a house to rent, most likely in Hogsmeade, and go from there...those are his own words." Voldemort said after a thought.

Smiling, Harry leaned against his mates side and basked in the presence of his family as they waited for the announcements to come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While it was only about three hour before the announcements came, for the family it seemed like a whole week had passed.

When one of the ministry's brown barn owls flew into the room a hush fell over everyone seated.

Accepting the note attached to the owls leg, Voldemort flipped it open and read through the contents with a stoic face.

"Well? What's it say?" Harry asked almost bouncing in his seat.

"Apparently the results ended in a landslide win. The winner took the election by 95% of all the votes." Voldemort said after flipping open the note to read it again.

"Alright stop playing around. Did you win or not?" Harry demanded while crossing his arms

"Well lets see. The winner of the election goes by the name of Thomas Marvolo Riddle. So I guess that's a yes I did win." Voldemort said grinning at Harry who pounced on him after he heard that.

Pressing a kiss against his mate's lips, Harry forgot that the others were in the room until most of them cleared their throats to get their attention.

Pulling away, Harry blushed and mumbled out, "Sorry."

Grinning, Sirius said, "Well since Harry decided to molest you in front of everyone after that. I think that we're all in agreement that the wizarding world will finally be able to flourish under your rule."

Pouring out a few glasses of wine, Lucius handed them around to everyone in the room.

"Well then I propose a toast." Holding up his glass of wine towards the middle of the room he added, "To the new minister."

Clinking their glasses together everyone in the room followed Lucius' lead then took a sip from their glasses.
