Hadrian groaned in pain as he started to wake up. "Hadrian?" a voice called.
Hadrian opened his eyes to see his father sitting by the bed he was in. Severus put a potion vial up to his lips. "Here, drink this. It will help with the pain."
Hadrian gladly drank the potion, but scrunched up his face at the taste. He was about to ask what happened when the memories of the goblin knocking him out came back to him. "How long was I out?" he asked instead.
"Two weeks. They had to fix a lot of damage. You also had a lot of magical binds on you, not to mention the compulsions and potions."
Severus had been furious to find out all that had happened to his son, as had Marvolo. Both had vented their anger out in a training room and as a result had destroyed quite a few training dummies. Hadrian looked around. "Where's Marvolo?"
"At Prince Manor. He has been setting things up for us to live there while I was waiting for you to wake up today. During the two weeks you were out, we've alternated watching over you. In order to keep Dumbledore from getting suspicious about me, I've had to keep up appearances. Dumbledore does know you are missing, however, since the wards crashed at the muggles' place. Add to that, Granger and Weasley couldn't find you on the train and let Dumbledore know."
Hadrian groaned. "Great. Just what I needed."
Severus sighed. "I do believe you have some explaining to do."
Hadrian sighed and nodded. "I know. I'll explain when we're at Prince Manor."
Severus nodded and opened his mouth to say something more but was interrupted by a knock and the door opening to reveal a goblin healer. Seeing Hadrian awake, the goblin healer smiled. "Glad to see you awake. After I run a few scans, I'll let your Account Manager know."
Hadrian nodded. As the goblin healer started chanting in Gobbledygook, Hadrian glowed different shades of green. After a few minutes, the goblin healer stopped and smiled. "Much better. I would advise you to take it slow for a while. Have you looked in a mirror since you woke up?"
When Hadrian shook his head, the goblin healer summoned a mirror and handed it to him. Hadrian looked and saw that the messy dark brown hair, tanned skin, and gaunt features were gone. He now had straight, jet black hair that went below his shoulders and pale skin. He also looked a lot healthier. His green eyes were the same, though.
Hadrian smiled. "I look almost completely different. The only features that are the same are my eyes and nose."
"You're also taller," Severus commented.
The goblin healer then spoke up. "I'll take you to Ragnock now."
