***Time skip of exactly three years in the 'mind/void' place Hadrian is at. He has finished all the books and went onto the advanced ones. Also, the first time I published this chapter the formatting was showing - sorry for that!
"Ry!~" Louis called after me, as I was taking a simple stroll around my little field coming to decision. "What are you thinking about?"
"Lou, I need to go back. It is time, anyways." I reasoned with him, my face void of emotion except for a raised eyebrow. I've grown used to his bickering and odd attitude.
"Well, that was sudden. Okay, just so you know, you have to act normal." Louis stated seriously, as he suddenly flicked his wrist.
"Wait wh-" I was interrupted by waking up in a small, tight space. Confused by where I was, I looked. I used my heightened vision for a better view and gaped at what I saw. I was in a freaking cupboard! Who the hell did that? Are the ones who did this insane?
Oh. That's right, I was abused. I'm in the cupboard, aged 11, and it is half past midnight. I groaned in annoyance, realizing I was back in dirty hand-me-down clothes. Oh, how I wished I could torture these muggles for even landing a hand on me. I gagged as I realized it was gross in here, with the smell of blood and vomit stenching the floor. I then realized there were a few books here, so I grabbed one. It was old and dusty, a bit hard to read, but still, I grabbed it. I then waved my hand to clean the books in here, before repairing them. I then looked at the title of the book in-hand and chuckled. It was a twisted, longer version of the muggle fairytale, Snow White. I opened it and began to read it, so to pass the time.
I was able to hear footsteps from the master bedroom, where Vernon and Petunia were, which caused me to put away the book and make them appear dusty and worn out. I then quickly made myself dirty and look tired, just as Vernon banged on the door harshly. I pretended to 'yelp in fear' as the entrance opened, allowing a fat elephant to loom over me. I cowered in a corner, hoping to look like a prey about to be eaten by a predator.
"Make breakfast, and then do all of these chores, freak." Vernon spat, roughly grabbing me and handing me a list of chores. I nodded in fake fear, before rushing to the kitchen and made breakfast. I quickly served it, before heading off to do the chores. I used magic for every one of them, but I made sure to do it slowly, so to not make them suspicious. I was in the garden, allowing my Wolpertinger form abilities to take place. I was bit agiler in my work, and when also using a few my water abilities from the Enfield side of mine, I was able to quickly finish the garden without too much suspicion.
"Come and make dinner, boy," Vernon grumbled, realising he had no reason to beat Hadrian up unless he messes up dinner. Hadrian nodded and went inside. He went into the small kitchen, listening to the conversations of Vernon and Petunia. As he listened, he began to make the dinner.
"That boy is a bit quicker in his work, Vernon. He may have used his - his, freak abilities." Petunia whispered quietly, although to Hadrian is all but screamed right in his face. "Is it really worth keeping him just for his money that Dumbledore gives us?"
"Of course, why else would we keep him? I'll beat him later far harsher than before, okay?" Hadrian just sighed and put the food on plates. As an afterthought, Hadrian added an extra piece to his little dinner and then brought the food the table. Everyone glared at Hadrian, but Hadrian just stared at everyone's faces.
Suddenly Vernon's face was red as he began to pant. Petunia was glugging water, and Dudley was making fish faces. Ah, the satisfaction Hadrian got for adding all the spices to their dinner was amazing! Albeit, it ended with Vernon grabbing Hadrian by his hair and bringing him upstairs into Dudley's second room. Vernon threw Hadrian to the bedpost, and then suddenly the door was locked.
'I'm sorry, Hadrian. I'm sorry I cannot get involved with what he's about to do.' Louis' voice rang out in my mind, sounding so very sincere and hurt. It seemed he really didn't want to have to watch Hadrian go through what he's about to, for the first time. 'I promise we can do whatever in your mind, but please, please, please forgive me for what is about to happen.'
And that was the last thing he heard before he was erupting into screams.
