What Hadrian saw shocked him. In front of him was an army of Hogwarts Students, all armed with their wands and knives or swords. In front of the Students was an army of Death Eaters, Giants, Dementors and Werewolves. Hadrian tried to step out of the Temple only to find that something was holding him back. Closing his eyes Hadrian called upon memories from before his death and discovered that a modified Shield Charm was holding him. Stepping back into the Temple Hadrian looked around and saw a trap door leading down under the Temple. Using his second Sight Hadrian saw that first years, mothers and anyone else unable to fight were hidden underground. Sighing Hadrian erected his own Shield, using the reawaken powers of the Shadow Cards then turned back to the Temple Doors and frowned. Focusing Hadrian reached out with his mind pulling stray magic into his body from all over the world then focused it on the doors.
Karen stood at the front of the DA, renamed the Defence Academy by herself, Ron and Hermione. Before her Voldemort and his Inner Circle lead the Dark Forces. Just as Karen was about to order the charge a slight wind began to blow. Karen was about to ignore the wind before she noticed that it was kicking at the robes of the Death Eaters while leaving her army untouched. Looking behind her she saw that the wind was picking up dust and forming a raging twister around the Temple. Karen cried out as the dust twister suddenly burst into flames. By now everyone had noticed the strange occurrence so she was not the only one to be startled at the sudden appearance of flames. Before Karen could do anything however, the great Marble doors of the Temple began to glow before blasting off and landing in the middle of the Death Eater ranks, killing several. Karen was amazed as the wind and fire stopped the moment the doors blasted off. There standing in the doorway, arms by his sides, and great black wings behind him was Hadrian. The fighters of the light immediately erupted in cheers as Hadrian lifted off the ground and flew to the front of the army landing beside Karen.
Hadrian smiled as he landed beside Karen, according to his memories she was one of his best friends and someone he loved very much. Looking down at her he said, "Hello Miss Li, I want you to get everyone inside now while I dispose of this army." Karen nodded, amazed at the calmness in his voice. Turning he back on the army before her she faced her own army and shouted, "We have been ordered back into the Castle. Hadrian shall hold off the enemy while he return to the castle. Lets move." It was a sign of respect that no one, not even the Slytherins objected to the retreat. Turning over their right shoulder everyone marched in rank to the castle leaving Hadrian alone before the Forces of the Dark. Smiling Hadrian stepped forward and bowed to Voldemort, "Lord Voldemort, what a surprise to see you. I guess you heard of my untimely demise and thought to take advantage of it." Voldemort sneered though inwardly he was shocked, "Hello Harry, I see you have returned from the dead. How may I ask? I am quite curious." Hadrian smiled, "That's for me to know Tom. That's for me to know…"
Karen stood atop the Astronomy Tower, Ron and Hermione on either side of her and Hagrid behind all three of them. Looking down at the people before Hogwarts Karen's eyes sought out Hadrian's body before looking at the people around her, "You don't think I was stupid do you? Leaving Hadrian on the field like that?" Hermione smiled at her, "Karen he's just come back from the dead. I would be surprised if he can't handle Voldemort now." Karen nodded and turned back to the field, "I just hope you right Hermione…"
Hadrian smiled as he ducked under one curse and deflected another. He had yet to use his magic, right now he was just using a large tree branch as a shield waiting for the enemy to use up their magic reserves before he attacked. Smiling again Hadrian jumped and rolled to dodge another curse before launching himself high into the air using his wings to carry him higher than Hogwarts. Looking down at the Death Eaters below him Hadrian smirked and summoned the Shadow Wand. Looking up Hadrian called out, "Yue! Keroberos! I ask for your help!" From the skies burst two pillars of light, one bright and burning like the sun, the other dark blue and mystical like the moon. From these pillars flew forth Yue, judge of the Card Captors and Keroberos, protector of the Cards. These two mythical beasts flew up and hovered on either side of Hadrian. "Hello Hadrian-kun. It is good to see you again." Hadrian smiled at Keroberos, "You too Kero-Chan, I've missed you." Turning to Yue he asked, "How about we use this as the Final Judgement to see whether I deserve the powers of the Cards?" Yue smiled, "I don't think that would be necessary, they would only fuse with someone they deem worthy. If the Cards think you're a worthy master than so shall I." Hadrian smiled, "Thank you Yue, I hope we will one day be able to talk about the past." With that Hadrian looked down at the Death Eaters below. Many of them were quivering in fear. Yue and Keroberos were both legends within the Magical World. They only helped those who were deemed worthy by Clow himself. Seeing this boy summon both creatures at once left many of them scared witless. Hadrian grinned and together He, Yue and Keroberos dived down. Hadrian summoned his mothers' sword before transforming his Shadow wand into a deadly looking Samurai sword. Wielding both Hadrian began to chop his way into the forces before him. Next came Keroberos, great balls of magical fire spewing from his mouth burning everything tainted by the dark and leaving the grass untouched. Then came Yue, summoning forth his glowing Midnight Blue crystals he launched them at the Death Eaters many of which fell to the ground with arms, legs or heads missing.
High above the battle at the top of the Astronomy tower, Hagrid, Karen, Ron and Hermione cheered as the three winged beasts decimated the dark Forces threatening everything they loved. Within moments over two thirds of the enemy armies were dead and even more were injured beyond healing. Karen ginned and pointed to Voldemort who was scrambling over his own men in an attempt to escape Hadrian who was gliding low to the ground, both swords cutting through man, giant and beast alike. When Hadrian finally caught up with him Voldemort screamed the Killing Curse before Apparating away. The moment Voldemort left the field the Death Eater groaned and began to surrender. Their pleas for mercy though, went unheard. None were spared.
Hadrian, Yue and Keroberos landed on the astronomy tower and greeted the people waiting. Smiling Hadrian stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, I am Hadrian Shaoran Kinemoto. I have returned from the dead to fulfil the Prophecy and destroy the Dark Load Voldemort." Hadrian would have continued had not Karen thrown herself onto him, wrapping her arms around his neck whispering, "We know who you are Hadrian, we're happy knowing you're back." Hadrian untangled himself from Karen before stepping back and saying, "I may look like the Hadrian you lost but I am sorry. I paid a price when I returned. I gave up the memories knowing that even without them I would protect the world from Voldemort." Karen gasped and raised her hands to her mouth. Hadrian had forgotten her? Hadrian had forgotten everything? Looking at him she saw that his eyes lacked the same glow they had held before and that he now held himself in a difference manner. This was an entirely new Hadrian; this one would not be able to spend any of his time in friendships. He was here for one reason only: defeat Voldemort. Blinking the tears from her eyes Karen whispered, "I hope one day you get your memories back Kinemoto-san. I would like to talk to Hadrian again one day." Hadrian nodded and Karen left.
Hadrian turned to the others, Ron and Hermione both looked like they had been kicked. Hadrian recognized them and knew that before his death these two had been very special to him, but now they were just two more faces in the crowd. Looking up at the man behind them he nodded, Hagrid had tears running down his face, just as he'd expected. Smiling softly he said, "Do not weep Mr Hagrid, rejoice for Hadrian has finally found happiness with his family. I am here to finish what was started fifteen years ago." Hagrid nodded, "I know Kinemoto, It's just that Harry was my best friend and seeing you looking like him but not really being the same person it's just so painful." Hadrian nodded, "I know Hagrid. I will tell you this. Hadrian's memories may be lost to me unless I need the power they contain, but his emotions remain. I see you and feel love; love like the love Hadrian felt when he saw his parents through my eyes. The memories of Hadrian may be lost in the Afterlife, but the emotions are not. Hadrian loved you Hagrid, you were the best father figure he ever had." Hagrid nodded and like Karen, turned and left. Turning to Ron and Hermione Hadrian asked, "Why do you two not weep? Hadrian was your friend was he not?" Both Ron and Hermione nodded before Hermione spoke, "Hadrian was always one to let his emotions rule him. It was greatest strength and his biggest weakness. We know that if you really possess Hadrian's emotions then he isn't really lost for you will act on them just as he would have." Hadrian smiled, "Very good Ms Granger. You are right. I may not remember being Hadrian but I will still act like him. Very clever." Hermione smiled and together Ron and Hermione left. Alone at last with just Yue and Keroberos Hadrian smiled and asked, "Do you think hiding behind this façade is the right thing to do?" Yue and Keroberos both nodded before Keroberos spoke, "Hiding like this is the best thing you can do. When it comes time for the Sacrifice they will not be hurt as deeply as they would have if they knew you were getting your memories back each minute." Yue nodded and added, "Karen will accept this easier than if she knew. My other self does not want to see her hurt and upset. This is the best way." Hadrian nodded, "Let's hope I can keep the act up long enough." The mythical beasts nodded and the three began to make their way down into the Great Hall. None of them noticed that Hadrian's wings and Swords hadn't disappeared…
The entire populace of Hogwarts was waiting in the Great Hall when Hadrian, Yue and Keroberos arrived. The moment they entered everyone went quiet before one by one people started to clap. Hadrian looked around, aware of the love he felt for several people in the room. Looking around he remembered the first time he entered the Great Hall. People had been staring at him in way similar to now. Smiling Hadrian walked down the centre of the Great Hall and stopped in front of Dumbledore, bowing low he knew both Yue and Keroberos were doing the same he said, "Hello Headmaster, I am here to stop Voldemort. Would I be able to speak to you in private later tonight?" Dumbledore smiled down on Hadrian, Old fool thinks I don't remember what he did. I'll show him. Dumbledore nodded, "Of course Kinemoto-san. Would eight thirty be ok with you?" Hadrian straightened and nodded, "That would be fin Headmaster. May I sit?" Dumbledore nodded and Hadrian walked around the table and sat between Dumbledore and Mcgonnogal. Smiling at both Hadrian asked, "Is there any news of Voldemort's possible retreats?" Dumbledore sighed, "None. I thought he would have returned to Riddle Mansion but he didn't. He is somewhere else." Hadrian nodded and dinner progressed.
Hadrian smiled as he and the Magical Beasts made their way back to the top of the Astronomy tower. Looking down over the grounds he sighed at all the dead bodies. He'd have to clean them up eventually. Resigning himself to work Hadrian lifted up on his wings and with Yue and Keroberos behind him glided down onto the grounds. Looking around Hadrian could feel tears running down his cheeks. Wiping them away he began t work his magic. When he was done Hadrian looked around and smiled. All the bodies had been transported to the area surrounding the Temple. Looking up at the moon he saw that it was almost time for his meeting with Dumbledore. Looking up at Keroberos and Yue, "I'm off to meet with the Headmaster. I thank you both for helping me today." From above the beasts smiled down at him and whispered, "We will stay with you forever Hadrian-kun. You are our master." Hadrian smiled, "Thank you, thank you both." Then with a simple swish of his cloak he faded away as though he had never been there.
Dumbledore smiled as he felt the magic wards around his office ripple. Hadrian was trying to enter. Smirking at his power Dumbledore sat down and waited for Hadrian to give up on Apparating into his office and to appear outside the door. What happened shocked him.
Hadrian smiled as he communed with Hogwarts herself. After a brief conversation Hogwarts lowered the wards around the Headmasters office and allowed Hadrian in. Hadrian grinned as he entered Dumbledore's office, smiling at the old man he asked, "Were you trying to keep me out?" Dumbledore looked at him stunned before shaking his head, "No Hadrian my boy, I was merely seeing if you had grown more powerful since out last meeting before your death." Hadrian smiled at Dumbledore who stiffened in shock as he felt the anger and hate radiate off the sixteen-year-old boy. Looking up at him Dumbledore began, for the first time in his life, to fear this boy who was prophesised to save them all. Coughing to hide his startled silence Dumbledore began, "As you know Hadrian, you were handed over to the Ministry where they began to torture and experiment on you. I must warn you against befriending Karen Li, as she is the one who betrayed you. If she is given the chance I doubt she will hesitate to hand you back." Dumbledore smiled as Hadrian frowned and appeared to think on this for a moment before leaning down into Dumbledore's face, "Thank you for your honesty headmaster, now here's a secret that you can't tell anybody." Dumbledore leaned closer and Hadrian moved his lips right next to Dumbledore's left ear, "I remember everything…" Dumbledore shot up his seat and tried to stare at Hadrian only to find that he was once again alone in his office.
Well I decided that I'd leave it there. Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. I think it's a bit of a waste of time. But that's me. Tell me what you think. Also, here's a question, what is the Sacrifice? While I leave you with that to ponder I think I'll go write the next chapter. See you all later.
