Chapter 15: Concequences

Adrian sighed, sitting down in potions with a bored expression on his face. He had spent the last three weeks searching for his diary and still he couldn't find it. He was terrified that it had ended up in the wrong hands, though no one had come after him and teased him, yet. Shaking himself from his stupor he glaned up as Professor Snape billowed into the classroom, his black robes flapping around him despite their being no wind.

"You think there's a charm to make your clothes do that?" He heard Pansy whisper to Millie, though both girls tried not to giggle. He smirked, he could imagine Uncle Sev putting a charm on his robes just to get that effect, the man liked to inspire awe and fear, the latter more then the former.

He nudged Dray who was half-asleep on the desk next to him. Jerking awake his twin sat up in his seat properly, just in time since the Professor was just getting ready to start his lecture on the Dreamless Sleep Potion.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger, you're late, that'll be twenty points from Gryffindor, each" Snape drawled, causing the entire class to turn and look at the three tardy Gryffindors. Each was red faced and breathing hard, as if they'd sprinted to the class from wherever they were.

"Sorry Professor" The three sheepish students mumbled as they took their seats. Adrian glanced at them, watching Harry especially since the boy sat in front of him.

Harry sat down in his desk, mentally calling Snape every nasty name he knew while he opened his textbook. He, Ron and Hermione had been in the library re-searching bloodline curses, Ron had got interested after Hermione had mentioned they actually effected most pureblood families on some level and he had wanted to see if his own family was cursed. They still hadn't found out the exact curse that Adrian suffered from but with the diary's help they certainly had discovered more and more. Hermione said that whichever curse it was, it had to be rare, since most of them didn't target specific aspects of the bloodline, like the second born child.

Grabbing his book he was careful to shove the leatherbound diary back into his bag, not wanting anyone to realize he had it. Not even Ron and Hermione knew, which was why he opted to carry it with him instead of leaving it in his dorm room.

Adrian glanced absentmindedly down at Harry's bag as the boy dug for his book. His first thought was that the bag itself was a mess, with broken quills and bits of parchement shoved everywhere. As he watched he noticed Harry shoving something deeper into the bag and his eyes caught the sight of a leatherbound black book with the gold lettering on the front. His breath came out in a harsh woosh as he stared, horrified at the Potter child. He couldn't believe it, Harry had taken his diary. He felt tears pricking his eyes irrationally but he brushed them away before turning his attention to Draco and tugging on his sleeve.

What? Dray scrawled on a piece of paper and shoved it at his twin.

Potter has it! I saw it in his bag, he's got my book. Adrian scrawled back, his face paling at the implcations of this.

Are you sure?

Positive, I jsut saw it. What are we going to do?

We'll get it back after class. Uncle Sev'll kill us if we make a scene in his class.

Okay...

Both boys busied themselves with the rather difficult potion their godfather had assigned. However, Adrian was rather distracted and kept almost making mistakes which Draco quickly prevented or corrected.

"We'll get it back" He whispered to his brother, though he too was worried. What if Potter knew everything? He'd have to tell his father and then chaos would likely ensue. Adrian wrote everything in that blasted book, he knew that, his father encouraged it, but they'd never taken into consideration of the book was stolen or lost. Once they got it back he was teaching his twin a charm that would make it so only he could read and write in the stupid thing.

The end of class couldn't come quickly enough for Adrian. As soon as the bell rang he was cleaned up and sitting anxiously in his seat. His Uncle caught his eye and sent him a questioning glance that Adrian pointedly ignored for the moment, his eyes focused on Potter who was alone while he tried to clean up the mess he'd made.

"Well Potter, stealing now?" Draco drawled as Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise surrounded the boy. Sev sat back at his desk, intent on watching for now, it seemed Potter had done something else stupid.

"Wh-what?" Harry stuttered, turning to see he was surrounded.

"You have something in your bag Potter, it belongs to my twin. I'd like it bac" Draco said, almost conversationally, but his eyes were flashing.

"No I don't" Harry growled, though he was flushing slightly, indicating his embaressment at getting caught.

"Vince" Draco pointed at the afforementioned bag. The large boy bent, picking up the bag and digging in it as Harry tried to stop him.

"This?" He asked, removing the diary.

"Yea" Vince then handed the diary back to Adrian who quickly stuffed it into his own bag and was now glowering at Potter with hate-filled eyes.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Adrian hissed, rising now and moving to stand in front of Harry. "Stealing? I knew you were an idiot, but merlin" Adrian swore, he was so tempted to punch the raven haired teen though he refrained.

"Stay the hell away from me Potter, and my things" He hissed, turning on his heel and stalking out of the classroom, followed by everyone but Draco.

"Leave Adrian alone Potty, if I ever see you near him again, or with his things I won't hesitate to curse you into next week" The blonde haired teen snapped before turning and following his companions.

"Fifty Points from Gryffindor for stealing Potter, and detention with me on Saturday" Sev droned from his desk, looking positively gleeful.

Later that evening Adrian flopped down on his bed in the dorm. He'd warded his diary like Draco had taught him and was relieved to realize it was in one piece, if a little bit rumpled. He glanced around the empty dorm, his thoughts consumed with what had occured. He had no idea this one book would cause so much trouble for him, or mean that much. He had always figured it was important because his father had given it to him, but now he realized it was because it was the only thing, living or inanimate that literally knew everything about him. As much as he loved Dray he didn't tell his twin everything, nor did he confinde in his parents, it had scared him to lose the diary because it was like barring his soul for the whole world to see. Sucking in a breath he sat up, penning a note to his father and mother since he had promised to try and write them regularly. He hinted that somewhat might know about the curse since he wasn't sure how far Potter had gotten in the diary, though he had had it for almost a month. That also scared him, what if Potter knew? What if he told his friends? That Weasley kid would use that to his advantage that was for sure. As much as he enjoyed being treated like a regular kid he'd prefer that they didn't use his illness to take advantage of him or use their new knowledge to deliberately trigger an attack. If that ever started happening he knew his parents would pull him out of Hogwarts in a minute and he really didn't want that to happen. He couldn't put a finger on the reason why, but somehow he had come to love the old castle, loved his classes, loved the freedom that being here afforded him.
