Hadrian opened his eyes to see he was in a dark area. Everything was black, he couldn't see anything besides himself.
"Hello," he called out.
"You kept me waiting," he recognized that voice, but he does not know from where.
"Who are you," Hadrian asked.
"I am you," a golden red eye opened within the darkness.
"What do you mean you are me," Hadrian was confused.
"I am your creature, that old fool put a block on me, that is why we are just now speaking," that cleared up some confusion.
"So you're me, does that mean I'm you," he asked.
"In a sense, yes, you'll be able to become my form," it stated.
"Form, what form," Hadrian asked.
Suddenly, as if the darkness decided to disappear, Hadrian could see. And what he saw left him speechless.
The eye was a creature, a Dragon. It had black and light grey scales, a hint of red around its mouth and eyes.
"This is what you can become, but this is not the only form we take," it held its head high as he looked down at Hadrian.
"You, we, have more than one form," he asked. The dragon nodded.
"But you are not ready to change into that form, your demon form," it looked away from Hadrian and looked up.
"When will I be ready," Hadrian asked.
"When you need it most. Our time is up, we do not need to worry the hatchling more," everything started to fade.
"Wait! What do I call you," he called out.
"Call me Nix," everything finally went dark.
Hadrian opened his eyes. He wasn't in the chamber anymore, he had been moved to another room. He felt a weight on his chest.
He looked down slightly to see Anna slightly curled into him. Her eyes were open and she was staring at the wall.
Hadrian took his hand and gently raked his fingers through her hair. She slightly jumped and looked up at him. He gave her a soft smile.
"Big brother," she sofly shouted.
"Hey little Lily flower, how long was I out," he asked, trying to sit up.
She noticed and moved off of him. "An hour or two. We had heard a roar of pain, and I could tell it was you. Soon Mr. Ragnok came to get us because you passed out," she looked at him worried.
"Sorry Lily, it hurt getting those blocks off, along with getting rid of those potions. I got to speak with my creature too," He told her.
"What is your creature big brother, you didn't tell me," she looked excited to learn.
"Well, I actually have two, a dragon, and a demon. I haven't met the demon yet, I apparently won't meet him till I need him the most," he patted her head.
She nodded. "Im going to get the other, I'll be back," she got off the bed and left the room.
'The hatchling cares very deeply for us,' Hadrian heard Nix.
"Where are you," he said quietly out loud.
'I am in your mindscape, this is how we can communicate, you don't have to speak out loud either,' Nix told him.
'What did you mean by hatchling,' Hadrian asked.
'The small one, you call her Lily flower, she is a hatchling, although to other Dragon standards, we would be a hatchling as well,' Nix informed him.
'Thank you Nix,' he thought. He couldn't see it, but he felt the dragon nod.
Hadrian laid his head against the wall. He observed the room. They seemed to have put him in an infirmary of sorts.
He heard the door open. "I'm back big brother," Anna came to his side.
He smiled at her as he ruffled her hair. "Welcome back Lily flower," he removed his hand and looked at the other occupants of the room. That's when he noticed the two new people.
"Lady Malfoy, Heir Malfoy, what do I owe the honor of seeing you today," he was polite.
"We had come to withdraw some money for Draco's school supplies," Narcissa told him.
Hadrian nodded. He looked over to Ragnok. "Do you have my inheritance test still," he asked the goblin.
"Yes Mr. Potter, I have it right here," he showed the parchment.
"Please hand it to Lady Malfoy," he said quietly. The goblin nodded and handed it to the confused lady.
Hadrian picked Anna up and put her in his lap as she read. He watched as her eyes widened.
"I thought they revoked it," Narcissa said quietly.
"No, they didn't, mum and dad obviously trusted you, enough to also make you and Lucius my other Godmother and Godfather," he put his head on top of Anna's.
He watched as shock showed in everyone's face and eyes. Draco was the most shocked, he practically threw away his Malfoy mask.
"Wait, he's my God brother," Draco pointed at Hadrian.
Narcissa nodded as she continued to read. Her eyes soon narrowed. "He put blocks on your magic, core, and creature," her features showed how angry she was.
Hadrian nodded. "I just met one of my creatures, his name is Nix," Hadrian told her.
"Oh Hadrian, I'm so sorry, if I had known I would have taken you," she looked at him.
He gave her a smile. "Its okay, if you did I wouldn't have my little Lily flower with me," he tickled Anna's stomach. She started to giggle and beg him to stop.
He stopped and smiled down at her. "Yes I hated it there, but I'm grateful," he looked at everyone.
"May I see it Cissy," Severus asked her for the parchment. She nodded and gave it to him.
"So, all the stupid and brash decisions are from a potion," Severus looked up at Hadrian. Hadrian nodded.
He gave the parchment to Remus, Tonks reading next to him. "Wait, your real name is Hadrian," Tonks looked at said boy. Said boy shrugged and nodded.
"I also just found out," he told her.
Remus looked at Hadrian sadly as he handed the paper to Arthur. As he read it, he had a mixture of sadness, anger, and guilt.
"Hadrian, I would like to formerly apologize for my families wrong doings," he looked beyond guilty.
"Its fine Mr. Weasley, you had no idea on the wrong doing of your wife, youngest son, or daughter," Hadrian told him. Arthur gave him a weak smile.
"What are we going to do now big brother," Anna looked up at Hadrian.
"Well, I'm planning, somehow, getting a meeting set up with fudge. There are somethings I need to tell him," Hadrian said.
"I could help with that," Narcissa told him.
"You could, I would be most gracious Lady Malfoy," he looked relieved at a potentially one less step.
"Its okay, and please, call me Cissa, or Cissy," she gave him a small smile. She soon got up. "I'll get to work on that, I'll owl you," she motioned for Draco to follow her.
"What are you planning on telling the Minister, Cub," Remus asked.
"I'll be telling him the Dark Lord is not back, that I have no idea what happened that night," Hadrian told them the truth.
"But he is back, isn't he," Tonks asked.
"No, yes, maybe. To be honest, I don't know what I saw that night, I was in shock over Cedric," Hadrian told them sadly at the end. Remus, Tonks, and Arthur looked at him sympathetically.
"What are we going to be doing for the time being big brother," Anna asked him.
"We'll go shopping, get some clothes that actually fit us both," he told her with smile. Her eyes lit up.
"Can we go now," she asked.
"Let me get out of these white robes and get some money, then we can go," he told her. She nodded and got off of him.
"Well, we'll see you later Hadrian," Tonks said. The other nodded. Soon it was just Anna, Hadrian, and Ragnok left in the room.
"I want to thank you for everything you've done for us Ragnok," Hadrian smiled down at the goblin.
Ragnok nodded before pulling out two bags for both Hadrian and Anna. "While you were out, I got these two coin purses that link directly to your account. So you don't have to stop by every time you need money." He handed the bags to them before quietly leaving the room.
Anna looked at the coin purse before looking at Hadrian with a smile. "I'll let you get changed so we can go get things." She excitedly hopped down off the bed and left the room.
Hadrian chuckled at her enthusiasm as he got off the bed and got dressed. He grimaced at the torn clothes that he had. "Yeah, definitely getting new clothes."
He walked out to see Anna rocking back and forth on her feet. He smiled before scooping her up. She giggled as she got a good hold on the taller boy.
"Lets go get us some clothes, yeah?" He began to walk out of the bank.
"Clothes that fit?"
"Yes Little Lily Flower, clothes that fit. In both London and Diagon alley."
"Yes!" She cheered, then hid once she realised people were staring at her.
The stares were of amusement. She was small and cute. Hadrian couldn't keep back his chuckle.
"What are you hiding from Lily Flower?" He ran his fingers through her hair.
"People are staring at me." She frantically whispered.
Hadrian looked around with an amused smile. "Oh, I believe they're staring because you're being cute."
"Big brother!"
"Alright, alright, I'll stop, we're at Madam Milkin's anyways."
They walked into the shop, seeing few inside.
"I'll be with you in a minute dears." She was working on a tall dark skinned boy. 'Blaise Zabini,' Hadrian mused. His mother, Hadrian believed, sat off to the side, talking up a storm to, who he assumed to be, her husband.
Anna watched the witch in fascination. This was truly the first time she had seen magic being used. "Big brother…magic is so cool."
"Yes it is, isn't it. And you'll be able to learn magic this year." He chuckled.
He watched Blaise step down with a sigh. He seemed uninterested with everything around him.
"Alright dears, which one of you first," Madam Milkin looked at them.
"Do you wanna go Little Flower?"
Anna looked at Hadrian and nodded her head. He smiled and motioned for her to get up on the stool.
Anna stared in awe and wonder as Madam Milkin worked her magic. Hadrian couldn't keep the smile of his face.
"This is what she should have grown up with." He didn't realize he said that out loud.
"She didn't grow up in the Wizarding world, does that mean she's muggleborn?"
Hadrian turned towards who had spoken. He found that it was Blaise that had asked.
"She's actually half blood. Her moms a squib, not that her mom knows that, and her fathers a muggle. Her older brother is also a squib."
"How can her mother not know she's a little bit magical?"
"Well, our grandparents on that side were both squibs from a pureblood family that had a streak of producing squibs. My mother, her Aunt, was the one to break that streak. Her mother hated my mother, said magic and her kind, us, were freaks. She sadly married a man with a similar mindset. They had her older brother and he turned out 'normal'. They then had her, and didn't know she was a witch until I went to Hogwarts my first year four years ago."
"Thats…fucked up."
Hadrian snorted. "So is the life of Hadrian James Potter. And I'll be damned if I can't protect her."
Blaise was silent, staring at Hadrian with wide eyes.
"I just had a civil conversation with Harry Potter."
"It's Hadrian. And that might be because I'm tired of being Dumblebees weapon."
"What did he do to cause this?"
"Lets see, blocked my core, blocked my creatures, blocked my Parseltongue and Parselmagic, Dragon speak too. He loyalty portioned me along with a love potion, a hate potion to all things Slytherin, and finally a do or die potion. He's also been stealing from all my vaults."
Hadrian looked over when Blaise was too quiet for too long. Only to see the looks of horror across his, his mom's, and his dad's face."
"What?"
"He did all that?"
"Yup, he also kept me in an abusive muggle home, with Anna."
"I'll…We'll spread the word, to the other higher up families."
"Thank you Lady Zabini." Hadrian bowed.
"No need for that dear. Just call me Enza." Lady Zabini, Enza, smiled at Hadrian.
"Big brother."
Hadrian turned towards Anna and smiled. "Did she get you fitted and measured my little flower?"
She nodded her head. Then shyly hid behind him as she stared at the other three.
"Let me introduce you. Anna, this Blaise Zabini, he's going into fifth year like me and he's a Slytherin. This is his mother, Enza Zabini. And his father…?"
"Fergal Rees, pleasure to meet you. And I'm not his biological father."
Hadrian kept note that this was boyfriend/fiance/husband #8.
"This is Anna Lillian Dursley, although we are going to try and change that to Evans, or even Potter." He smiled at her gently.
She nodded. "Big brother…Madam Milkin says it's your turn." She couldn't keep the smile off her face at the aspect of being able to change her surname.
"Alright, do you think you'll be okay while she's fitting me?"
Anna gave a hesitant nod. "I can stay here with her, if she'd allow me." Blaise gave her one of his reserved smiles.
"How does that sound flower?"
She nodded her head. "I'd like that."
"Thank you Zabini."
"You can just call me Blaise, I can tell we'll be getting closer this next year."
"Of course, I've got some apologies to hand out to your whole house."
"Big brother."
"Yes, yes, I'm going, I know you're excited to look around after."
Hadrian hopped onto the stool and began to talk to the seamstress.
"What house do you think you'll be in." Anna looked at the tall dark skinned boy.
"Either Slytherin or Hufflepuff."
"Why not Gryffindor with your cousin?"
"Too loud."
"Understandable, why not Ravenclaw?"
"I don't like riddles."
"Okay, what makes you say Hufflepuff?"
She blinks at him. "I prefer to have friends that I know will be nice and loyal to me, and I heard Slytherin look after Hufflepuff."
"We do, what about Slytherin."
"I know you all are very political, but you stay together, you stick up for each other. Big brother says I can be very ambitious too."
Blaise nodded and proceeded to ask what she liked.
"I like gardening, but my favorite flower is a lily, like auntie Lily. I do like to read, but not too much. I like all sorts of animals, but dragons are my favorite. And I like chocolate with caramel."
"Well, you'll love Herbology, you'll find all sorts of books in the library, Care of Mythical creatures will be another favorite, although you can't take it till your third year. And the kitchen elves always serve some form of chocolate and caramel."
Anna smiled up at Blaise. She then hesitantly hugged his waist. "Thank you." She looked down as she let go and backed up.
"No problem." He gently ruffled her hair.
"What are you two talking about?" They both turned towards Hadrian.
"Hogwarts, and the classes she'll prefer."
"Ah, I haven't been able to tell her much. Thanks Blaise."
"Don't mention it. I'll see you on the train, see ya Hadrian."
Hadrian smiled as Blaise left. He looked down at Anna.
"Ready?"
She nodded and grabbed his hand. They were soon off to other shops. Shops Harry wouldn't go in, but shops Hadrian will. They did all this as they waited for the word from Lady Malfoy.
