Chapter 11 Yule Break
Hadrianus spent the first week back with the family going to the magical shops around Europe finding different items for his family and friends. The first stop Hadrianus and the family made was to Château de Potter in Paris, France via international portkey. When they first entered the property, they were completely taken by the beauty of Château de Potter. From the outside, Château de Potter has Twelve thick, round towers dwarf everything below them and are connected by giant, chunky walls made of white marble. On the inside of the metal gates, they saw well-kept gardens with fragrant flowers; gorgeous trees and many bushes decorate the outside of the Château off in the distance. Statues of kings are lined up along the road that leads to the main door of the Château, serving as reminders of the past. This Château has clearly been around for at least a thousand years, but it doesn't seem like it will collapse any time soon. When they reached the main door they were greeted by a new house elf dressed in a black skirt and shirt that showed the Potter crest on it.
"Welcome to Château de Potter, I be's Missy," Missy stated while looking at all of the people that were new.
"Thank you, Missy, my name is Hadrianus James Potter-Black. I have inherited this along with several other properties in the Potter Estate. Could you please tell me what all we have inside the Château de Potter," replied Hadrianus
"Welcome Master Potter, it has been a long time since a Potter has been to Château de Potter. Yes, I can tell you what we have here at the Château. Please follow me inside and I will provide you with a tour. The Château has 10 floors, 40 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms. This does not include the lower levels, which consist of two floors below ground. The levels below have a potions lab, storage room, two dens, a study, a recreational room, and a media room. The main floor has 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a den, library, study, great room, sun room, exercise room, media room, and leads to the outdoor heated pool, gardens, and stables. Each floor after the main has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Each floor has access to the main library. The ninth floor has an indoor pool and sunroom. The fifth floor has an additional family room and recreational room. There is no designated family floor, but you could change that if you would like. On the outside of the Château, you have ten gardens and greenhouses and two stables. The Château sits on five hundred acres of land. Also, you have 100 house elves who staff the Château and I am the head house elf for this property," stated Missy.
"Thank you, Missy," replied Hadrianus. Hadrianus was lead to the main floor Master bedroom, while Petunia and Vernon were led to one of the in-law suites. Dudley was lead to a room just down from his parents. Sirus and Remus had followed Hadrianus and selected rooms close to his. Hadrianus pulled out his trunk, enlarged it, and started to gather his pets and familiars. They all found spots in the room to be comfortable.
Before the afternoon was out the whole family made their way to the magical community in Paris, located through the entrance of L' Eclipse Bar that led to the Route émeraude. Hadrianus walked around the ally way and found several locations that piqued their interest. Some of the stores include Wizard beat, Riverecords, Wizardustries, Herbtechs, and many other stores. The group purchased many items for their own use and for the individual family members. One thing he did do was go into the Riverecords and found some good albums on shadow-marbles. He also found out that he could record his own shadow-marbles for others to hear. This would be good and personal gifts for everyone. Thus, he picked up several sets of shadow-marbles to make his own recordings for the family members. After that, he went to the Herbtechs and found a specialized trunk-greenhouse that had 100 different plants and 100 different trees, Hadrianus thought that this would be the perfect gift for Neville.
The next place that he went to was Le Brillant Werecat (The Glowing Werecat), which was the leading clothing store for were's of any kind. The clothing store had several lines of clothing that when a were changes on the full moon their clothing would not rip, shred, or tear apart during the transformation. Instead, the clothing would just disappear and then reappear after the full moon. This was the perfect gift for any were or animagus. Some of the other locations that Hadrianus went to before the day was done was la Rune tricherie (The Cheating Rune), le livre d'énigmes (The Book of Riddles), Augury et l'alchimie (Augury and Alchemy), le Tome rapide (The Quick Tome), la grande épée (The Big Sword), l'élémentaire de l'eau (The Water Elemental), la robe de coups de pied (The Kicking Dress), and la plume élégante (The Elegant Quill).
When Hadrianus got back to the Château he went up to his room pulled out the Shadow Wave Player and took it to the music room. Hadrianus started to make the recordings for his mates and close friends who enjoy music. After he had done the recordings, he went back to his room and proceeded to get dressed for dinner. When he walked out of his room, he was met by Remus and Sirius, both well dressed in three-piece suites. When the three made it to everyone else the three were amazed by the way Petunia looked. The dress covers just one of her shoulders, leaves the other uncovered and flows down into a stylish Queen Anne neckline. Her arms have been covered completely. The sleeves start out loose and tighten towards the bottom where they wrap gracefully around her wrists. The dress' waist is narrow, but it's a slim fit. A cloth ribbon has been wrapped around her and is tied on one side. Below the waist, the dress fits snug around her and has a flounded style at the bottom. The dress reaches all the way down to the ground and is the same length all around. She is wearing platforms, a perfect choice in combination with this dress. To top it all off she is wearing a simple, but stylish necklace and small, stylish earrings.
The group left the Château and headed to La cour magique (The Magical Court). Outside of the Château, they were greeted with a stretch limo sitting in the drive waiting on them. The driver stood at the door, he reached down and opened the door. Petunia climbed in first then everyone else followed suit. As they drove, everyone could see that Paris was decked with lights of varying colors that lit up the entire city. Once they made it to the restaurant, they waited for the driver to open the door then the group got out of the limo. The group walked to the front door and made their way inside, once they stepped inside they were greeted by the host.
"Name please," asked the host.
"The name is Emery's" stated Petunia.
"Thank you, some of the others have arrived already. Please follow me," replied the host. The group followed the host to their table and got sat down. "Please take a look at the menu and in a few minutes, the server will be right over to take your order. Please have a wonderful stay," stated the host before he went back to the front of the restaurant.
Hadrianus looked around the restaurant; he could see that the staff had decked the restaurant up to the tee for Christmas/Yule. The other thing that he noticed was that they had a house band along with a dance floor nearby. He also noticed that there were some familiar faces scattered around the area that they were sitting. The restaurant had filled up in a short amount of time. In that limited time, the server had come over and taken, the group's order and went back to the kitchen to place it. After the server had placed the food order, he had brought back the drinks that were ordered. After about fifteen minutes the food started to come out of the kitchen. Everyone started to eat dinner, while the house band played some soothing music that complimented the evening. After dinner, most everyone was relaxing. The band had stopped playing so that they could eat and rest up for the next part of their performance. Hadrianus looked around again and noticed that a few people were looking a little bored with the atmosphere in the restaurant. He stood up and stepped around his chair. Everyone at his party looked at him in question. "I will be back in a few," said Hadrainus. First, he went to the bathroom to relieve himself. When he came back he noticed the band was still sitting and eating. He walked over to them and talked to them. They nodded their heads to him and waved one of the main managers over, they explained and the manager nodded along. He moved over to the side of the stage and made his way up to the top of the steps. The manager and owner of the restaurant stepped up to the stage.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may we please have your attention, we would like to introduce a young group who happened to be in the audience tonight and they would like to perform some holiday songs for you while the house band takes a break. Please sit back and enjoy the sounds of the MVs," the owner stated loudly. The audience clapped to welcome them. At that point, Hadrainus started to play the guitar to a calm melody.
"Chestnuts roasting on a open fire
Jackfrost nippin' at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you"
The audience clapped after the song. Hadrianus sat the guitar down. After the audience stopped clapping he started to sing again, this time without music.
"Here we come a-caroling,
Among the leaves so green!" Sang Hadrianus.
"Here we coma a-wandering,
So fair to be seen!
Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!" jumped in the others who came with Hadrianus. The group moved from their seats in the audience to the stage.
"We are not daily beggars,
That go from door to door!" Sang Hadrianus.
"But we are friendly neighbours,
Whom you have seen before!
Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!" Complete group
"We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!" Sang the complete group
"Good tidings to you,
Wherever you are,
Good tidings for Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!" Sang Hadrianus
"We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!" Sang the whole group.
By the end of the song, the main band was ready to take back over. The band made their way up to the stage and took over from the others on the stage. Hadrianus looked up to the group and asked them if they knew the 'Christmas Waltz'. The group nodded their heads yes they knew the song. Hadrianus stepped down from the stage and made his way to the dance floor. Once on the floor, he walked around the till he spotted a girl that was in the same dance class that he was taking during the summer months. She is a year older than he is, with a bushy brown hair is, her name is Hermione Granger. He walked right over to her and bowed to her as he held out his hand, which she took. He walked her over to the dance floor and nodded to the band.
"Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing, too
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
(Of year)
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear
(Every song you hear)
Seems to say
(He seems to say)
"Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing, too
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas"
As the song played the two danced the waltz, to which many other couples started to get up and started to dance as well. The music continued to play and more people began to dance with the others. Soon it was time to go home and everyone had headed out of the restaurant. The group made it back to the Château and started to get ready for bed.
The following days were spent the same way going out visiting the areas and seeing new places. They even made a special trip to Italy to spend a few days at the Villa located in Rome. Once to the Villa, they were greeted by the house elves at the Villa.
"Auguri Maestro Potter e Benvenuti a Villa di Potter. Mi chiamo Coorey e sono elfo di casa della testa per questa Villa. Come posso aiutare Master Potter? (Greetings Master Potter and welcome to Villa of Potter. My name is Coorey and head House Elf are for this Villa. How can I help you, Master Potter?)" asked Coorey
"Coorey capita di parlare inglese, alcuni degli altri qui non può parlare italiano o non molto bene. (Coorey do happen to speak English, some of the others here may not speak Italian or not very well.)" replied Hadrianus in Italian
"Yes, of course, Master Potter all the Potter House elves know the language of English and the country the homes are located in," Coorey stated
"Thank you, do you know where the entrance to the magical community is here in Rome," asked Hadrianus
"Yes, it is located at Treefolk's in the back of the bar. It is one of the ways to get to Crenzio. However, you can also use the entrance in the Villa in the main study, which leads to the main branch of Drago Italiano in Crenzio. That would be much faster than going to the Bar in the city. If you would like to follow me I can take you to the main study," replied Coorey
"Yes if you could Coorey and thank you for letting me know about that," answered Hadrianus. Coorey led the group to the main study in the Villa and showed them the door that led to the restaurant.
Hadrianus and the group made their way through the door. They found themselves in the main office of the Drago Italiano. Then they made their way through the restaurant to the main street of Crenzio. They walked out into the street and were met with by many shops of high-quality products. One thing that surprised everyone was how much better Crenzio looked compared to Diagon Ally. They went to several of the shops and made purchases that would turn out to be good for gifts for the holiday. They made it back to the Villa and started to relax. The following few days were about getting things organized within the Estates and spending time with family and friends. When they made it back to Potter Manor in Cardiff, they were just happy to be home.
The following day Hadrianus's friends and mates showed up at the manor for the remainder of the holidays. The days flew by leading up to Christmas day. Everyone was having a grand time with not having to do anything and just relaxing and enjoying the time together. The manor was completely decorated for the holidays, which included a full-size Christmas tree decorated to the tenth. The manor had all sorts of wonderful smells going on with cookies being made non-stop. When Christmas Day arrived, everyone was happy.
Hadrianus was up early, He moved out of his room to the main family room and saw that it was loaded with presents under the tree. Then he went back to his room and gathered his instruments and moved into the study for a bit.
"Son, what are doing up this early," asked James from his portrait on the wall. Hadrianus also got the same look from his mother and Grandparents.
"I just could not sleep anymore, so I thought that I would get up," replied Hadrianus. He then sat down in the main office chair. He knew it was still early and that the rest of the family would not be up for about an hour or two. Hadrianus stood up moved to the shelf where his Shadow Wave Play (SWP) sat. He found the marbles and looked for some holiday music after he found them he placed them into the player. The music started to play and everyone in the portraits was smiling happily. James and Lily were watching and listening to the music, however, there was a slight change in the air when Hadrianus started to sing along with the music.
"Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare him room
And heaven, let heaven
Heaven and nature
Heaven and nature sing
Everybody sing
Joy to the world
The Lord is come
(Let Earth receive her King)
Let every heart
Prepare him room
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven and nature sing
Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
That the Savior is born
Let heaven, heaven
Heaven and nature sing
Let fields and flocks
Rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
The Savior is born
Let heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
And nature sing
Sing joy to the world
For the Savior reigns
And makes
His blessings flow
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim
Glory to the King
While the angels sing
Everybody sing
Joy to the world
The Lord is come
(Let Earth receive her King)
Let every heart
Prepare him room
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven and nature sing
Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
That the Savior is born
Let heaven, heaven
Heaven and nature sing
Everybody sing joy
Sing joy to the world
All over the world
Sing joy, oh
Sing joy, everybody sing
Joy to the world"
The next song was purely instrumental but it was fast passed put out by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra called A Mad Russian's Christmas. It was about that time that some of the others started to wake up and as they woke up they heard the music so they knew that someone was already awake. They then heard the voice that started to accompany the music and knew that Hadrianus was already up.
"Everything is different
Nothing has changed
Now we're going in circles
It's Christmas again
Can't you hear the sleigh bells ring?
All our voices unite
And look up to the heavens
See the stars shinin' bright
Oh, everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right
Oh, do you really remember how it used to be
Sittin' under the Christmas tree?
In your heart you'll find the season
Oh yeah
Oh
We've been blessed by the children
Black, yellow an' white
They believe in the things
We try to deny
Oh, so throw down your weapons
Don't continue the fight
And let's love one another
On this holy night
Oh, everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right
Oh, oh, do you really remember how it used to be
Sittin' under the Christmas tree?
In your heart you'll find the season
Oh, reach down inside you heart
Won't you reach down inside your
And see all the love
Oh in your heart you'll find the reason
Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right
Oh, your gonna be alright
Do you really remember how it used to be
Sitting under the Christmas tree
In your heart you'll find the season
Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna to be all right
Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna to be all right
If you know you're gonna be alright
Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna to be all right
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna to be all right
Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna to be all right"
After that song ended Hadrianus allowed the music to play but he moved off to the great room of the manor that held the main fireplace for the floo connection. He knew that they were going to have a few guests that would arrive before everyone else had woke up. Hadrianus had already made the arrangements for these guest to show up because they were a special surprise for his brother Neville. As soon as he made it to the great room he was right on time just as the Sirius, Frank, Alice, and Remus made their way out of the fireplace.
"Welcome to Potter Manor Frank and Alice. I have not told Neville that you are here, if we can move you into the room next to the family room then everything would be great. It is wonderful that you are here for Neville and Augusta," stated Hadrianus
"Thank you Hadrianus for everything that you have done for us. The potions you gave us have done a miracle for us and our family. I know that Neville will be happy, I just wish that James and Lily were here with us," replied Frank
"In a way they are. I was in the study and they have their portraits there, they were listening to music and listening to me singing some of the songs. They may not physically be with us but they are in our hearts, I am just glad that you are alive and well once again," stated Hadrianus.
The group made their way to the room next to the family room. Hadrianus got them comfortable and allowed Sirius to explain what was going to happen. The most amazing thing was that Alice knew how to sing, and when Hadrianus suggested singing Happy Holiday by Johnny Mathis as a duet she thought that would be a wonderful way to bring them out. Frank also thought that was a good idea. Hadrianus left the room and went to wake up the others. Shaun, Draco, Neville, and Dudley were all excited to get to the room. Once everyone was in the large family room, Hadrianus looked at Neville and saw that he was missing something.
"Before we begin, I have two very special presents for Neville," stated Hadrianus. Neville perked up and was looking around wildly. The music in the room started to pick back up once again and Hadrianus started to sing.
"Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you"
Then a female voice also started to sing, and everyone was surprised.
"Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you"
Then the two started to sing together at different intervals.
"Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you, to you"
The next song started but instead of Hadrianus singing, it was another male voice who seemed like they were in a different room.
"Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y Felicedad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y Felicedad
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y Felicedad
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y Felicedad"
The two walked out of the room and Augusta gasped. She sat there listening to her Frank singing the song and knew it was him.
"Frank, Alice is that really you," asked Augusta
"Yes it is mum, we are back, and it is all thanks to Hadrianus. He gave us a Purification Potion that surprisingly his company created just for the purpose of helping those affected by spells, but it is his story to tell and he knows all the details of what happened," stated Frank who was pulled into a big hug by Augusta. Then turned to Alice and gave her a hug.
"Neville, these are your parents," stated Augusta with a huge smile.
"Thank you, Brother, this is the best Christmas I have had in a long while. You will have to tell me when you did this," exclaimed Neville. He jumped up, gave his mother, and father a hug. Everyone was happy that they were there. Lucius and Narcissa were very happy because they understood what happened that night and could shed more light on the issue.
After they ate breakfast and opened presents they relaxed and Hadrianus explained what had happened that day when he was in Diagon Ally and helping restore Alice and Frank. The entire group was just happy that they could welcome Alice and Frank into the mix and that they could take a major part in their son's lives. The rest of the morning after breakfast was spent opening up presents and spending time together. Everyone enjoyed the presents, Draco was surprised that he received an SWP along with a set of personalized marbles. Lucius looked on and said that Draco would be listening to those all the time now. Hadrianus could only agree with him because he knew what the marbles were.
The others were pleasantly surprised by the gifts they received from Hadrianus. However, Hadrianus had one other gift for them that was set up in the Exercise room of the manor.
"I do have one more gift for everyone. If you would follow me to the Exercise room. While we are heading there I would like to explain the process. This is similar to how we go about selecting our wands, the necessary components to make up the wands. In this room, there are several objects and I want you to open your magic up to them and see which one or ones select you," explained Hadrianus. Once they made it to the room they found different items inside laid out on tables and stands.
"Neville, you can go first. Remember you need to open up your magic and you will feel a pull to the different items that are meant for you," stated Hadrianus. Neville nodded and went to the first table which had the bows on it. Neville moved along the table and immediately felt a pull towards a compound bow, he picked it up and moved on to the next, this continued for the next half hour as each person went about finding their weapons. After everyone selected their weapons Hadrianus started to explain them to each individual.
"Now each weapon has a name, Neville, your bow is called Star's Fury, the staff you have is Shadow. Draco, you hold the Dragons Grand Staff, the Spiteblade sword, and Dragonclaw daggers. Shaun, you hold the Deathraze staff, Moonlit Skeletal Razor sword, the Alpha throwing stars, and the dual blades of the moonwalkers. Dudley, you have the Razorwind bow it is the hunting bow of the Titans, Shadowsong voice of the storm staff, and the Stormcaller blood blade of the wind. In my possession, I have the Storm-Forged War Staff, Katanas of Magic, and Blackfang. Now the bows are charmed to never run out of arrows, if you pull the string back an arrow will appear, this allows for faster firing. The swords and other bladed weapons are charmed to be extremely sharp, so please be careful with them. The staffs will act similar to a wand; however, the only difference is that they are not tracked by the ministry. Mysticorps, White Wolf Security, and Phoenixolutions only track them. The main reason for this is so that they can monitor how they perfume. The staffs are something those three came up with, I have used mine, and it works really well." explained Hadrianus. The Adults looked at each other and realized that some of these weapons are very powerful. The rest of the holidays passed with training.
Hadrianus woke up one morning comfortable in his bed with the foxes and ferrets lying next to him. Themis and Solarcrest were sleeping at the foot of the bed looking way too comfortable. After going to the bathroom and getting dressed Hadrianus made his way to the main floor dining room. As he found out most of the family was still asleep. He ate a quiet breakfast, and then went to the library to do some reading and studying on some of the courses he was taking.
The main book he was working on was the Occlumency and he was making major progress in understanding the knowledge he was gaining from it. After he was done reading the book he sat back and relaxed into one of the positions Jason Collins showed everyone at the beginning of his martial arts class.
Hadrianus relaxed and was able to enter his own mindscape. Upon entering his mindscape he found that it was one huge library of books scattered throughout the library even though they were organized by what they held. Hadrianus sat in the chair that was in his mind and thought long and hard on how he wanted this to be organized. All of a sudden, a desk and desktop computer materialized in front of Hadrianus. He looked a little puzzled then realized that this would simplify the library. He started to add folders upon folders that would hold the information for the library into them. As he added the new folders based on the sections within the library, the sections would disappear like they were placed under a Fidelus Charm and were hidden away in a separate place. The computer allowed the information to be accessed but with a password. Along with DNA testing and fingerprint requirements to gain access to the information within the computer. As he started to enter more information into the computer, it started to change and evolve into a faster computer and the programs were easier to access. Soon the room started to change around him as he focused on the computer. Walls, floor, ceilings, and doors were added to the room. Eventually, he got everything programmed into the computer. As he finally looked up from the computer, he was surprised by the look of the room that he was in. He looked around the room and when he saw the windows he walked over to them and could tell that something was different. He looked out the window and could see the ground along with some trees. He started to recognize some of the stuff that he was seeing. As he turned around, he could see that the computer had actually changed to a more futuristic style of the computer that he had only seen in one type of show and that was off Star Trek namely the Voyager. He realized that now that everything was set up he could just ask the computer questions.
"Computer what is the ship's status?" asked Hadrianus.
"Shields at one hundred percent and defenses are on standby. The main computer is monitoring all channels and storing all information as it is received," replied the computer. Hadrianus walked through the main door and was met with a full crew on the main bridge.
On the bridge, he saw Data who is an Android working the sensors at high speed, in the tactical position he saw Worf a Klingon. As he moved around the bridge he further noticed that there were other officers working the different stations. The one spot that was open was the Captain chair even though Janeway was on the bridge. Another surprise was Q who was aboard the ship who was conversing with Janeway.
Hadrianus moved out of his mind space and was back in the library. He realized that he was hungry again so he made his way to the dining room. When he made it there he was surprised to find most of the rest of the family was awake. What did surprise him was that Minerva and Severus were sitting at the table. He was sure that they would have had to stay at the school for a while before showing up. Hadrianus sat down at the table and started to gather some food before he started to eat more.
Everyone was talking to the other person next to them. Sirius finally spoke to Hadrianus. "Hadrianus what have you been doing this morning," asked Sirius.
"I have been working on my Occlumency, which has turned out better than I had anticipated. Which reminds me, Severus could you test my Occlumency shields when you have a chance," stated Hadrianus.
"Of course Hadrianus, I will test them for you. We can do it after we finish eating," replied Severus.
"Are you ready Hadrianus," asked Severus who looked a little concerned for him.
"Yes I am ready," replied Hadrianus
Severus nodded his head and then pointed his wand at Hadrianus, then proceeded to say "Legilimens", which resulted in him entering Hadrianus's mind. Severus was surprised at what he saw. When he entered Hadrianus's mind, he came out in a forest and had to walk to gain more understanding of what he was seeing. As he walked he saw several creatures that were watching him carefully as he made his way through the forest to a clearing. He could see a large object in the distance. As he got closer he could make it out more clear, to him, it looked like a ship. Once he was close enough he found that he could not move any closer to the ship due to a shield that came up out of nowhere. He took out his wand and scanned the shields. The scan showed that it was a type of energy shield that could block both energy and physical attacks.
While Severus was scanning the shields, the rest of the crew on Voyager was learning to adapt to the scan. This, in turn, produced new crewmembers in the form of the Borg Queen and Seven of Nine along with several other Borg. One of the Borg, Q, and Worf vanished from the bridge and appeared in front of Severus. This completely shocked Severus to the point that he stumbled backward. Q snapped his fingers and Hadrianus appeared as well next to them.
"Welcome Severus to the out boundaries of my mindscape. Let me introduce you to a couple of security measures that are in place to protect this place. The man standing to the far side who snapped his fingers, his name is Q, and he is very special because anything that he could think up will happen with just a snap of a finger. The next is what is called a Borg, a combination of cybernetics and body. With one touch from him, he could assimilate all your memories and use them against you. It would not matter about your shields or not. The final one is Worf he is chief of Security and I can tell you now that he is brutal when wants to so do not make him mad in any way," stated Hadrianus.
"Well, from what I can tell your mind is well protected, Hadrianus," replied Severus. Before he left Hadrianus's mind and returned to his own.
By the end of the year, they had trained in their unique weapons and found that they were more in tune with them than anything else they have used before. Before they realized it, it was time for Hadrianus to go back to school. Before Hadrianus left he spent time with his family and said his goodbyes and said that he would see them when school let out. Hadrianus made it back to the school and was back to studying.
Time flew by for Hadrianus. He focused on his courses and learned more than most would learn in the time it would take. The professors were impressed that he moved through the courses as well as he had. Some had thought that he would have a harder time. As the time got closer to the end of the school year, they tested him on the courses that he was taking now. Hadrianus took the tests for theory and practical. The professors were impressed with the spell work and the outcome from each test; however, they did tell Hadrianus that he would find out his grades when they sent out the letters for them. The non-magical courses that he took progressed in similar to the magical ones. The only difference was that with each test that he took he was able to skip grades and move onto harder course work.
Hadrianus got ready to head home for the summer holidays. After he was completely packed to go home, he went off to say bye to his friends. Everyone was happy that the year was over but they were also a little sad that they would not see each other for a couple of months. After saying goodbye for the summer, Hadrianus met up with Remus and Shaun. They both were accompanying him back to Potter Manor for the summer. They got all their belongings together and reached out for the port key. Not long after they were whisked away back to the Manor.
