I did some minor changes to the first chapter since instead of Charles and Hadrian being the same age, Hdrian will be a year older. Gabriel and Charles will be the same age and will start Hogwarts in the same year.
Read and Review XD
Chapter 2
Hadrian helped his brother dress for their outing to Diagon Alley with their Uncle Padfoot. Deeming his brother ready, he grabbed both their robes, a matching black with red designs, and went to the fireplace to floo to Grimmauld Place. Just as Hadrian was about to follow his brother, James entered the room but Hadrian wasted no time and hurriedly called out his Uncle's address; he didn't want to confront his father.
Landing gracefully on his uncle's sitting room, Hadrian only had but a few seconds to himself before he was thrown to the floor by the familiar slobbering of Padfoot. "Padfoot, wait Padfoot, get off me you overgrown pup!"
"Harry! Is that any way to call your very dashing and single uncle?" Sirius gasped in mock outrage as he turned back to his human form.
"Why yes, yes it is. Or at least when your uncle is not so dashing and single because of his mug of a face," Hadrian said before he ran out of the room and started a chase all around the house.
"Why you little brat, I'll show you ugly! Gabby, help me catch your bratty brother," Sirius called out as he ran after his nephew.
Gabriel simply laughed out loud, the scene familiar. Every time they came to their uncle's Hadrian would throw a funny insult to Sirius and would then chase each other around. With a shake of his head Gabriel fallowed his uncle into chasing after Hadrian, the somber feelings from the morning chased away by the fun he was having.
After finally catching Hadrian and having his hair turned eye-watering, neon green by Sirius, they all sat down for a breather, exhausted after the fun game of tag. Hadrian thanked Kreacher as the elf brought them cold lemonade to cool down, sitting down on a black armchair opposite Sirius' orange sofa while Gabriel preferred to sit on the extremely fluffy green carpet. Silence lasted only a few minutes, their breathing gotten under control and their faces back to their natural complexion.
"Ready to go shopping for your school supplies, Harry? It's already 10 o'clock so if you want to avoid the afternoon rush we should get going now."
"Hmm, yes, but aren't you forgetting something dearest uncle?" Hadrian answered as he pointed at his neon hair. If Sirius thought he would forget about the embarrassing color of his hair and go into the public with it he was clearly delusional.
"Okay, okay. There, happy now? Let me just- Kreacher! Bring me my robe!- Okay let's go." Sirius charmed his messy hair into a neat ponytail and straightened his rumpled clothes and doing the same with the clothes of his nephews.
One by one they floo'ed (?) to the Leaky Cauldron and ignored the curious stares of the few patrons in the bar. Sirius opened the gateway and all three were soon too concentrated in their shopping to pay attention to the time. Without their notice the once almost deserted Alley grew crowded with witches, wizards, and muggles whose children were going to attend school that fall. Only after bumping into the third person did Hadrian had enough and dragged his uncle and brother to a dark corner that was thankfully devoid of any crowd.
"It is too crowded, we'll have to split. The only things left in the list are robes, potion ingredients, and my wand." Hadrian said as he checked his Hogwarts' letter.
"I'll buy the potion ingredients while you and Gabriel buy your robes. After that we'll meet at Ollivander's to get your wand. Is that okay with you?"
Hadrian nodded and took his brother's hand as they fought through the crowd to get to Madam Malkin's. When they entered a young witch immediately took them to a private fitting room, reserved for all the pureblood clients with wealth and prestige. Some of the people that had already been there for a long time waiting for their turned protested loudly to Madam Malkin only to be asked to either be quiet or leave the store. Hadrian and Gabriel simply walked by them with a blank face, these 'people' were beneath them and not worth the effort to even look at them.
They were led to room were already there was a boy getting fitted with his mother waiting on an elegant chair on the side.
"Heir Potter, Mr. Potter, please take a seat. Someone will be with you in a few moments." They both nodded in understanding and turned to the other room's attendants. Hadrian led his brother to the beautiful lady and was the first to greet the beautiful woman.
"Lady Malfoy, 'tis an honor to meet you." He gave a bow and kissed lightly Lady Malfoy's hand as per pureblood custom.
"Heir Potter, what a surprise to meet each other here," Lady Malfoy inclined her head in greeting and did the same when Gabriel was presented.
"This is my younger brother Gabriel, my Lady."
"Lady Malfoy," Gabriel copied his brother's actions and then moved back to Hadrian's side.
"May I present to you my son, Draco?" Narcissa asked as she waited for no response before standing and leading them to the blond boy on the stand.
"It would be a pleasure Lady Malfoy," Hadrian followed the pureblooded witch and greeted the boy as a fellow heir.
Their meeting was cut short as their attendant finally arrived and saying their farewells, they were lead to a private room. It didn't take long before they were done; their robes were going to be owl delivered the next day. As per the agreement they met their Uncle right outside Ollivander's, tired and exhausted after a long day of shopping and glad it was their last stop.
"Ready to finally get your wand, Hadrian?" Sirius asked as they entered the darkly lit shop, hundreds of boxes behind the counter. The boys were impatient and were annoyed as the shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen.
"Lord Black, twelve inches, yew, and dragon heartstring; great for offensive magic. Heir Potter, yes, here for your wand I suppose. Mr. Potter, I hope you know you are still too young for your wand to choose you." The soft voice of the shopkeeper came behind them, all three gasping in fright at the sudden appearance.
"Ahh, Mr. Ollivander, still scaring the customers I see," Sirius said as he laughed off the sudden scare. Only to stop when Ollivander's milky white eyes turned their stare directly at him.
"I have no idea what you mean Lord Black, but let's get going shall we?"
They followed the strange man to the counter where Hadrian was then accosted by a measuring tape as Mr. Ollivander went through the isles of boxes, choosing between them and bringing them to the counter; explaining to the boys that each wand was never the same and that it was the wand, not the wizards, that chooses their owner.
The first wand put on fire the store's curtains; the second one was no better although the result was much funnier. On and on it went as wand after wand reacted negatively to Hadrian. The initial anticipation faded and three of the people in the store grew more and more annoyed as each wand rejected Hadrian while the other person grew only more excited at the results.
"Very tricky customer I see, but I think I know just the right wand for you," Ollivander said as went back to the isles of boxes and came back with a non-descript box and reverently lifted the wand in it and gave it to Hadrian who could only stare mesmerized at the great power coming off the dark wand.
"Thirteen inches, Oak tree, with a sharp tooth from a Griffin. It was crafted by the first Ollivander and until now has deem no one good enough to be its master. Go on, try it," Ollivander watched with sharp anticipation as the Potter Heir grasped the wand.
Hadrian could only describe the feeling as finally being complete, power course through his whole body, the wand emitting navy and green sparks. All occupants felt a shiver go down their spine, the power coming off from Hadrian too powerful and enticing and when it finally ended they could only sigh in disappointment at the loss of magic.
"Yes, Heir Potter, I believe we can all expect great things from you," Ollivander said with a solemn voice as he watched as the boy reverently held the wand.
After buying a wand holster they finally ended their shopping and all tiredly made their way to the Leaky Cauldron to floo back to Grimmauld Place. But just as they were to enter the bar they were met by James, Lily, and Charles. And to make things worse Lord Malfoy, his wife, and son were right behind Hadrian, Gabriel, and Sirius.
Hadrian's only thought was, 'bloody hell'.
