I am planning on bringing in some male members of Harry's army. Reasons why is to bring in some diversity and to reduce Harry's harem, so it is less big.
The next day Hadrian was reading some of Akiza's old schoolbooks to see how much changed in the last ten years in terms of education. He also was trying to figure out what should his next move be. He had devoured two of Voldemort's horcruxes and he was waiting on Lucius to deliver Hufflepuff's Cup. While he could go after the Ring and Locket after Lucius comes back he knew that he needed to wait for now.
"Akiza." Hadrian calls out to his servant.
"Yes Master?" Akiza asks eager to serve.
"I want you to take some of the gold I have and exchange it at Gringotts for some Magical Money." Hadrian said.
"What for Master?" Akiza asks. Now while some people would expect to be punished for questioning their lord Hadrian was not going to be one of those people as that would be stupid in his opinion as that would only breed disloyalty. He will be a kind Lord and would only be harsh when he needed to punish his servants for crimes they committed.
"I want you to pick up books and potion ingredients as well as anything you can find that can serve our goals well." Hadrian said. "Make sure you are disguised as well as to not to tip off anyone."
"Understood Master." Akiza said bowing to her master as she leaves to do as her Master requested.
'SO WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?' Grima asks.
'For now nothing but build up our power, knowledge, and forces. We have me/you, Shiraori, and Akiza while on the other hand we have to worry about two possibly three, four, five or even more sides to worry about. We have Dumbledore, my former blood family, and the Order of the Phoenix, then we have Tom and his Death Eaters who we are currently using to our advantage with Tom being temporarily gone. Followed up we have the Ministry of Magic, possibly the Neutrals, the mundane people, the other Magical nations, and numerous Magical Beings to worry about.' Hadrian said creating a hologram magic board divided into eight pieces colored into eight different colors.
'In terms of firepower, resources, and people we are severely outgunned and outnumbered. Not to mention we don't even have a base yet.' Hadrian said with a grimace before he felt a pain of loneliness in his heart.
'What is this?' Hadrian questions clutching his heart.
'THAT WOULD BE THE TWIN BOND BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR FORMER SISTER FADING AWAY.' Grima informs him.
'What.' Hadrian said but it wasn't a question.
'AS A SIDE EFFECT OF YOU BECOMING A MANAKETE YOU ARE NO LONGER RELEATED TO THE POTTERS. INFACT YOU HAVE NO BLOOD RELATIVES EXCEPT FOR ME.' Grima said.
'Does that make you my father then?' Hadrian asks with a raised eyebrow
'I SUPPOSE SO.' Grima said chuckling. 'ANYWAYS USING MY POWER I KEPT THE TWIN BOND IN PLACE JUST INCASE AS TO NOT TO TIP ANYONE OFF.'
'Wouldn't they been tipped off anyway?' Hadrian said referring to the Dursleys' death (except for Marge's death as no one knew yet).
'IT WAS TO GIVE THE ILLUSION THAT HARRY POTTER WAS STILL ALIVE. IF THEY HAD DECIDED TO LOOK FOR YOUR OLD SELF THEN THEY WOULD HAVE WASTED TIME AND RESOURCES INCREASING OUR CHANCES.' Grima pointed out.
'Then why are you letting it fade away?' Hadrian questions.
'SIMPLE. LETTING THE BOND DIE WOULD MEAN HARRY POTTER IS DEAD. IF YOUR PARENTS TRULY LOVED YOU THEN THIS WOULD HAVE USED THEM PAIN THAT CAN DISTRACT THEM FOR A WHILE. WHILE WITH YOUR SISTER THIS WOULD ALSO BE A DISTRACTION SO IF THERE COMES A TIME WE HAVE TO FIGHT AND KILL HER SHE WOULD BE LESS STRONGER THEN SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN. IT MIGHT ALSO BRING HER TO OUR SIDE POSSIBLY.' Grima said giving his reasons.
'I hope you're right… Father.' Hadrian said teasing Grima.
'I WILL ALLOW HIM TO CALL ME FATHER AS THAT IS WHAT I AM TO HIM NOW.' Grima thought to himself.
'Anyways we need to add more Servants to our forces and figure out a way to bring more money in.' Hadrian said knowing that money talks and can open doors. 'As well as a spy network.'
'YES AS WE WILL NEED FOOD AND MATERIALS. NOT TO MENTION RELIABLE INFORMATION.' Grima agrees.
'I'll have Akiza use some of our money later and do some investing with Gringotts. Goblins are greedy but honorable so if we give them 40% of each successful investment that should help.' Hadrian said laying out the first move.
'A GOOD START. THAT SHOULD HELP BUILD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US. THEY COULD ALSO HAVE INFORMATION ON GOOD PIECES OF LAND WE CAN USE FOR OUR BASE.' Grima said.
'I could also create more Etherious from some animals to help build up our forces.' Hadrian said.
'YES. YOU SHOULD. USE DIFFERENT ANIMALS AS WELL TO BRING IN SOME DIVERISTY.' Grima suggested.
'Good idea since each animal is different so we can use that to our advantage.' Hadrian said.
List of servants/harem so far:
Shiraori (So I'M A Spider, So What?): Created from Albino Black Widow Spider.
