Summer
2 Days Later June 30, 1992, Kings Cross Station
"Have a good summer all, perhaps we can get together sometime," Hadrian said as he got off the Hogwarts express, having spent the train ride with Padma, Susan, Dean and Neville primarily. Dean had become a lot closer to Neville since the fiasco that Ron had drug him into since Neville was the reason they all likely survived. But though it was primarily the five Padma's twin sister Parvati, and her best friend Lavender had come by as had Daphne, Hermione, Tracey, and Penny had all come by for a short while each.
"Of course, our birthdays are right next to each other so perhaps we can get together then," Neville suggested before going over to his grandmother, while Hadrian approached Lord Black.
"Hadrian, glad to see you did not doddle, Lord Scamander is already at Castle Black looking at and taking measurements of Brynnais, and I do not want to return and find him roasted by your dragon," Lord Black said simply.
"I am aware that Lord Scamander is looking at Brynnais, he is trying to stay calm, but does not care for being measured or prodded, so let us go," Hadrian said taking Lord Black by one hand while grabbing his luggage in the other hand before they apparated back to Castle Black where two older men were standing and looking at Brynnais while a third middle aged man and a middle aged woman stood off to the side.
"Excuse me, Newt, I do not recall giving you permission to bring other researchers to my house without my permission," Lord Black said causing both of the older men to stop looking at Brynnais, and to instead look to him.
"Forgive me, young man, I had wanted to meet your charge and so when I heard my friend had been given access to your wards well, um, I wanted to be here, and I suck at arranging things," One of the two men said rather sheepishly.
"I am not sure I even know who you are, and while I appreciate you calling me a young man, I am likely as old as your father is or at the youngest your age," Lord Black said causing the woman to chuckle.
"Well, I would have never known that you were Lord Arcturus Black the first, I thought you were the third and if you are the First how do you not remember us, since we fought beside you during the Hundred year war," The woman said to Lord Black's confusion.
"Who are you?" Lord Black asked coldly.
"Forgive my relations, Lord Black, I am Aurelius Flamel, heir of these two who are Lord and Lady Nicholas and Pernelle Flamel," The young man said rolling his eyes.
"Albus' boy, right? How did you become the heir of the Alchemist?" Lord Black asked in shock.
"Albus' brother in truth, but I became their heir after Albus killed their previous heir and they discovered it was him not his lover or my eldest brother," Aurelius said simply.
"Strange, but why exactly are you here?" Lord Black asked confused.
"Well, we wanted to thank your charge for saving our artifact, despite it being a fake, a month ago and well the Goblins told us that your charge is actually the descendant of our former heir and with the dragon here rather proves it," Pernelle said simply.
"What artifact did you save, Hadrian?" Lord Black asked curiously.
"Oh, yeah about that, last month I saved one Ron Weasley, one Seamus Finnigan, and one Dean Thomas, and in the process promised and allowed a mountain troll to eat Professor Quirrell and saved the Philosophers Stone that for whatever reason was at Hogwarts," Hadrian said sheepishly.
"I remember Lord Black mentioning something about you being able to speak with trolls, do you have any idea how that came about?" The Last man asked curiously.
"Wait you can speak the tongue of the deep? How interesting, since your aura is still light, most speakers of the tongue of the deep have black auras," Nicholas said simply.
"I don't know, I just do, like when I see snakes apparently I can speak to them too," Hadrian said simply.
"Well, this is interesting, but back to what my wife was saying, due to your saving our fake Philosopher's stone we had lent to Albus to study we wished to lend our aide in any task you may want to start on," Nicholas said simply.
"Well, if possible I would like to start a council with all the various sentient magical races present and given a voice," Hadrian said simply.
"Oh, so like the Council of Avalon, which fell pretty much as soon as our mentor vanished for the last time," Pernelle said simply.
"I'm sorry, but I am not aware of such a council, and who was your mentor you mention?" Lord Black asked curiously.
"Our mentor was Merlin, and the wizarding world has tried to rid all record of the Council of Avalon, but it was a site to behold," Pernelle said simply.
"I agree, we will reach out to others who may remember the council and see what they can do or if they would be interested in rejoining such a council. Being you have an Avalonian Kingdragon as a familiar will go a long way to convince some, since it would suggest Avalon may be returning," Nicholas said simply.
"Interesting, now Hadrian needs to put away his belongings we can continue our conversation over a meal, please feel welcome to stay for the summer if that is your desire," Lord Black said simply deciding that having the Famous Alchemist and his wife would only be a boon to him since they could help Hadrian learn more customs better.
July 31, 1992, Longbottom Manor
"Hello Hadrian, thanks for coming," Neville said as Hadrian exited the Manor and onto the grounds where he was standing with their friends.
"Thanks for putting this on, and happy belated birthday Neville," Hadrian said with a smile.
"Happy Birthday to you, so care to explain why it took you so long to respond to our letters?" Daphne asked with a slight edge to her voice.
"Well aside from being in France and then the States for a few weeks, it also turned out that one of Malfoy's elves went rouge and was trying to keep all of my post so I would not attend Hogwarts. I figure that Lucius is probably going to do something stupid," Hadrian said calmly.
"Really? Do you think we are that dumb, so tell us the real reason now," Susan said rolling her eyes?
"I did, I swear that is what happened, you could even ask your aunt since Lord Black filed an investigation with her," Hadrian defended.
"Well, if he says you could ask your aunt he probably is not lying, since he knows that she would tell Lord Black if he was lying. So, what were you doing in the states and in France?" Neville asked curiously.
"Primarily working with Lord Scamander, apparently being able to speak the tongue of the Deep, which is what trolls speak apparently, is really rare, and so he had me go and see if it was also a language that other fouler creatures speak, and apparently it is, since Lethifolds, hobgoblins, Swooping Evil, and Hags, all speak the Tongue of the Deep," Hadrian said with a small smile.
"Wow, that is incredible, so how do you expect the new term to go?" Neville asked shocked at the news.
"I assume it will go similarly to last year, though with the idiocy of Lucius who know," Hadrian said before they started to mingle more with their friends.
