"Kreacher?" questioned Hadrian "is this Grimmauld Place?"
Kreacher gave him a withering look "Master Black comes home and Master Black doesn't even know where he is."
"oh, I suppose it is," Hadrian laughed with embarrassment. "I just went through a cleansing ritual at gringotts. It really took a lot out of me, is there anywhere I could lie down for a while?"
Kreacher just stared at him for a minute before turning and directing "Master Black will follow Kreature."
Hadrian followed Kreature as he led him out of the attic. Once they reached the landing between the second and third floor they ran into someone.
"Sirius" Hadrian cried before launching himself into his godfather's arms.
"Harry" shouted Sirius "what are you doing here, did Dumbledore send for you already?"
Hadrian pulled back and looked Sirius in the face, "what do you mean did Dumbledore send for me?"
Sirius stared down at Hadrian "if Dumbledore didn't send for you then how did you even get here you're meant to be with your relatives until the end of summer."
Hadrian sighed in frustration "we have a lot to talk about" he growled. He slapped the results of his inheritance test against Sirius's chest and snarled "Go over this, in the meantime I am going to take a short nap." "Kreature, Please show me to my room."
Once they reached a large room on the second floor Hadrian groaned when he saw that the room contained a large hippogryph. He turned to Kreacher and asked "why is Buckbeak here."
Kreacher gave him a sly look before turning to the door and shrieking "The blood traitor thinks he's the master, put the big bird in Master Black's room, tried to take Master Black's rooms and give Kreacher orders."
Hadrian started in surprise at Kreacher's loud shriek. "Ookay, then, do you think you can find a more appropriate place for him."
Kreacher snapped his fingers and Buckbeak disappeared, Kreacher snapped once more and the room cleaned and straightened itself out.
"Thank you Kreacher, please wake me up in an hour for a late lunch, Sirius and I have a lot to talk about." yawned Hadrian.
"Kreacher will do as Master Black asks" the old house elf croaked before popping away. As soon as Hadrian's head hit the pillow he was sound asleep.
Hadrian woke up upon hearing Kreature returning to his room. "Master Black will eat lunch in the dining room?" Kreature asked
"sure Kreature, show me the way" replied Hadrian. In the dining room Hadrian found a large feast and Sirius pouring over the results of his inheritance test looking dejected.
As Hadrian sat down Sirius looked up "I'm so sorry Harry, If I had any idea what Dumbldore was doing to you I never would have agreed to let him use the house for Order of the Phoenix meetings."
Hadrian sighed and put his head in his hand, "First, I know that you didn't know so that's fine, second what is the Order of the Phoenix, and third Dumbledore has been using the house, has he done anything to it? Also I'd like it if you could call me Hadrian"
Sirius looked down at his plate and nodded, "Dumbledore has been here, he wanted to use it for the group that fought you-know-who during the last war." Sirius sighed and put his head in his hands "he was coming tomorrow to put the house under fidelus."
Hadrian took a deep breath and slowly blew it out, "Ok then, we have a lot to do before tomorrow. Is there any way to prevent people from coming into the house?"
Sirius grinned "yes there is a warding book in the basement, it logs everyone that enters the property, only the Lord can use it to prevent entry."
Hadrian nodded "Alright we can do that after lunch, then I would like to discuss some of the things in my inheritance test, such as the creature inheritance, and the marriage contract. But first let's eat"
After lunch Sirius and Hadrian made their way down to the basement and Sirius showed him the warding book. "This is the warding book if you want to prevent someone from entering the property just write no ingressum next to their name, if their name isn't there you can add it."
"Thanks Sirius" Hadrian said as he stepped forward to prevent Dumbledore and his former friends from invading his new home. Once he was done he and Sirius retired to the sitting room. Once they settled in Sirius asked "what did you want to talk about?"
"My creature inheritance I'm a dark elf do you know what that means?" asked Hadrian.
Sirius sat back and thought for a moment. I do know that once your creature inheritance comes in you will have a change in appearance, since you have a elf inheritance you will most likely get pointed ears and because you are a dominant you will grow taller. I'm not sure about anything else but we can check in the library for any books on the subject. Do you have any other questions?"
Hadrian grimaced "yes about the marriage contracts you don't think that I'll have to marry Ginny do you?"
Sirius scowled at the thought of his godson being forced to marry that girl. "No I don't think so, your inheritance marked the contract with her as illegal and the contract with the Nott family predates it. From what I remember older marriage contracts take precedence over newer ones. The contract with the Nott family is very old though I would need to see the actual contract before I can tell you more."
Hadrian nodded once "Good I really didn't want to marry Ginny. Tomorrow when I visit the bank I'll see if I can find out more information on the Nott contract."
Sirius got up "great" he exclaimed "how about we head up to the library to do some research." Hadrian got up and followed Sirius up to the library where they settled in for a long day of research.
