They appeared in a small booth where a tired old man sat "good evening sir" Hadrian's father said while they walked up.
"Evening, here for the world cup?" his father nodded with a smile and a huge grin on Hadrian's face. He doesn't really get to act like a kid at the school, it is one of its rules the students are tough and a duel to the death happens quite frequently. He loves it for Hadrian. It lets his anger go, because his father said emotions are everything to being human.
"Right you are enjoying the game!" the man said giving them a portkey, in a couple of seconds they were risked away to a large field. Filled with thousands of people all in different colors, laughter and jokes were being shared.
"Alright son welcome to your first game, let's go find my booth." Hadrian was in shock he hasn't seen anything like this, sure he loves the game playing Quidditch and Death-Quidditch at the school with students. But the world cup is something different to experience.
"Father who is playing today?" he asked as they made their way to the stadium.
"Canada and Scotland. Should be an interesting game." his father said "Au here we are our booth. No matter what, the Paire's always have a booth."
The game started right after they got some food ordered, the two teams came out. the snitch was released and the quaffle was in the air. The game has begun. Father and son enjoyed the night laughing and talking. It was a long game of about 2 hours with Canada and Scotland's seekers neck in neck going for the snitch and...and... "Canada wins with 270 points!" the announcer shouted the crowds either cheered or booed at the end game. But all in all Hadrian had a spectacular night.
"Thank you father. This is one night to remember."
"awe anything for your birthday son" he said picking Hadrian up and putting him on his shoulder "you know you are getting quite a big young man." He laughed as his father tickled him.
"Stop I concede" Hadrian said in a fit of laughter trying to breath.
"Alright Alri- '' His name was called from somewhere in the crowds. He hastily put Hadrian down and held him close by to him. It's not quite often for him to be recognized in a crowd especially with his job.
"Marche" a short man came out of the crowd to them. He had on black robes, and a small hat in his hands. "It has been far too long."
"Indeed it has" his father responded all tensed up "what can I do for you?"
"Oh nothing it is glad to see you out and about" the man looked down and saw Hadrian his bright green eyes and messy black hair. "Well if you look who it is," the man noticed the eyes oh they looked just like an associate and the hair oh it looked so much like. He couldn't place who but it was a spitting image but younger. "I am sorry but have we met before?"
"No sir" Hadrian responded with caution.
"Well we must be going." His father eagerly said and with a quick goodbye the two left to a small town in Scotland.
"Hadrian, I have to tell you something." His father said leading them to a lively pub. They sat in a booth in the corner of the pub, and two butter beers came to them. "Now I want to tell you this before you find out on your own. And I know you have always asked me what I mean. When I say heir but first I need to tell you. You have a family Hadrian, have you heard of the Boy-Who-Lived?" Hadrian nodded "well they are your family. He is your twin you are a Potter." Once he said this the room got drastically cold. He knew what was to come "Hadrian Marche Parie! I know you are wondering why they left you and your probably mad but do not turn your emotions off. Do you hear me?"
The room got significantly warmer and Hadrian said "sorry father, but what I went through for the first five years were horrible."
He knew what he went through the carved words on his arms never went away. "I know but it wasn't entirely their fault your aunt and uncle put you in the orphanage. You will always be my son."
"I know father." Hadrian responded quietly but with a smile. He leaned in and gave him a hug, which lasted for a couple minutes.
"Now, you are very important to my son, not only my heir but-" an explosion sound outside screams sounded everywhere, it was always calm before the storm.
His father didn't get to finish, everyone was in panic. Hogsmeade was under attack.
Somewhere not so far away...
"Dumbledore you wish to speak to us?" Lily and James came into his office at Hogwarts
"Yes do have a seat. I know you both are excited to see your son but I have some terrible news." The parents have been excited to have a family back together, and now worried beyond belief. "I have recently come to the knowledge that Petunia didn't keep Hadrian like she has been telling me. He was placed in an orphanage, but that's not only what I found out."
They were devastated. What could be worse, he has been raised unloved without knowing who his parents are. Dumbledore pulled out a small picture, a muggle kind of a young boy sitting in the grass holding a book and a snake curled up around him. His smile was bright but not as bright as his green eyes filled with intelligence and emotion. He looked so much like James a spitting image but he had Lily's green eyes just brighter much brighter. There was a lightning bolt scar on his forehead and a mop of messy black hair.
"This was a picture taken I found in his records five years ago" Dumbledore said with a saddening voice "I'm sorry but I was too late" the parents looked up tears in their eyes "the orphanage burnt down 5 years ago after this photo was taken. There were no survivors."
"You mean he... he's...dead?" Lily said sobbing in to her husband who was also crying by now.
"Yes I'm afraid so Lily. I do take full responsibility for not believing Petunia's lies for so long" Dumbledore apologized. They now know their family would never be whole once again, they sat silently in the office crying. Lily held the photo like a lifeline.
Then the door flung opened "there's an attack at Hogsmeade" McGonagall said.
"I will go there right away. Lily and James you are free to stay as long as you need I am truly sorry for your loss." and with that he left the two devastated parents in his office.
Back at Hogsmeade
"Hadrian get back to the castle" His father pleaded
"No I'm not going to leave you" Hadrian couldn't leave his only family he has ever known
"They're here for you son please" Hadrian couldn't understand why people wanted him. His father knew he wasn't going to leave his side so he took his son's hand and ran out to get home. A full war was going on outside, the two ducked and ran as curses were flying around. They almost made it when.
"Hadrian dear we found you at last." the man from before smiled at them, they were surrounded by now. "come and no one would get hurt."
"No, you can't do this he is just a boy" His father shouted but only got laughs.
"You think destiny has a choice, he is the one who took our lord from us. He will be ours" the man said "I am glad that you found him taught him a lot I bet."
Only Hadrian's father noticed but the surrounding area got cold and thick "Hadrian stay in control, remember Rosa" his father tried to get Hadrian to calm down, he knew he hated emotions but they were the only things he kept him sane. They all laughed, not truly understanding what they were getting into. The air got thicker and unnaturally cold.
By this time the aurors and the order members were making their way through the battle to where a large group surrounded around a father and son. The closer they got the harder it was for them to breath, there was a lot of magic in the air it was almost tangible. The cold of it seeped into their bones.
"let him go we will spare you Marche for all the hard work you did for the boy. He will be a force to reckon with dear friend."
"You are no friend of mine. He is just a child-"
"A child" more laughter sprung about "he is the most powerful one and heir there is no child left. Say goodbye."
All wands raised and took am before the others got there to try and stop what was inevitable. Killing curses and strong powerful curses from the dark arts fired and landed on one person, the father. He fell to the ground, everything seemed to stop the air froze. Everyone was watching now the battle stopped. "Dad!" was all that was heard from the boy adults all over who were watching was crying. They felt the pain of the boy from just his scream.
The boy fell beside his father crying, it hurt so much. The emotions were so much seeing his only one who cared for him dead. Hadrian let out the last of his emotions, the wave of magic came it was suffocating to say the least. In a split second everyone was sent flying back, the ones around the boy died instantly while others away were knocked out.
No one ever saw the boy again, but knew he wouldn't be the same after that night.
