"Hadrian my boy, please have a seat." Dumbledore gestured to a chair across from him. "Lemon drop?" He asked, eyes twinkling away. Hadrian declined with a shake of his head. He still hadn't spoken yet.

"How have you liked Hogwarts so far? Made lots of friends?" He asked. Hadrian nodded again. Dumbledore's smile looked a bit forced now.

"I have heard from your teachers that you are doing quite well. Is this true?" Hadrian nodded again. Dumbledore's smile faded a bit."Are you excited about the flying lessons at all? I'm sure you would be a na-"

"How about we go straight to the matter at hand. The reason you brought me here." Hadrian cut him off.

His voice sounds exactly like Tom's. Dumbledore thought, eyes widening a bit.

"Well then. I'm sure you know why you're here. My student's safety is my top priority, and I won't allow the son of Voldemort to endanger them." He stated simply. Hadrian sighed dramatically.

"Well Dumbledore, I'll have you know that I don't give a flying f*** about your students. They could all die in a hole for all I care. So really, killing the students of this school isn't very high on my to-do list." Hadrian bluntly said.

His attitude isn't very much like Tom's though. Tom would never curse over something so trivial as a meeting. But they share the bloodthirstiness. Dumbledore thought as Hadrian swung his legs over the side of the chair.

"All I'm here for is some entertainment. Because I must say, the world is so boring. And, of course, a chance to learn a bit more magic. I'll also tell you this. My father respects you, as do I, because you've managed to survive this long. But really, you only have a couple of years left to live. And that's because I'm here. Soon my father will get his body back and the dark will win this war. Period." Hadrian finished, letting Dumbledore see his real personality.

Sarcastic, blunt, bloodthirsty, and so bored of life. No one else had seen him like this except for the ones he had killed and Draka. He would usually keep a calm and collected exterior.

"Hadrian, I will only allow you to attend this school because you are still a child. If you ever hurt one of my students, though, then I will not hesitate to kill you. Child or not." Dumbledore said seriously. Hadrian grinned maniacaly.

"Good to know old man. I'll be on my toes for the next seven years." He said, and walked out the door. After shutting it, the grin left his face and he let loose a wave of pure magic that had built up during the duration of the meeting. The anger, and hate that he felt was rolling off him in waves after being released from his occlumency shields. Hadrian growled deeply, sounding like a wolf almost, and stalked towards the Slytherin common room.

He slammed it open with a blast of magic and startled the students who were inside, before cowering in fear at Hadrian's display of his anger. He billowed down the stairs to his room and slammed the door shut, before taking out his wand and summoning a training dummy to unleash his anger upon. Spells were thrown in a flurry of colors from the untraceable wand, before an hour later Hadrian stopped and past out on his bed.

He never noticed the shadowy spirit floating in the corner, watching.

Hadrian took pride in the fact that he could wake up at the exact time he told himself to, so when he woke up at 7:30 instead of 6:00, he went on a wild scramble to take a shower and get new clothes to wear. Sleeping in his robes was not a good idea, more so because he was sweating.

An hour later, Hadrian walked into the great hall for breakfast, sitting next to a surprised Draco. He grabbed a piece of toast and quickly ate it, before downing his tea and walking to class.

On the way to charms though, he was stopped by a group of Gryffindors, two being Weasley and Granger.

"Is there something I can do for you?" Hadrian asked politely.

"We couldn't help but notice that you're a loner, and decided to take advantage of that." One of them grinned, taking out their wand. Hadrian sighed.

"Do not underestimate me because I'm a first year. I'm probably smarter than Gryffindor's seventh years." He said, smirking.

"You brat! A slimy snake like you could never be better than us! All you'll turn out as is a lowly death eater!" The same boy yelled.

"David, we don't want to attract attention." A girl next to him whispered.

"I don't care Lizzy! This brat's gonna pay!" David yelled, throwing a yellow curse at Hadrian. He merely turned his head a bit and the spell flew right past him.

"David, was it? That's a good name. A shame that it was given to a mudblood." Hadrian smirked. David's face turned red, and he threw the cutting curse at Hadrian in recession, trying to get at least one to hit. Hadrian dodged them all with small movements, however one managed to graze his ear. His eyes narrowed threateningly.

"You'll pay for that." He whispered, before releasing his magic. The Gryffindors flew back, passed out, and Hadrian continued on his way to class.

"What are you?" He heard Granger whisper. Turning his head back, Granger recoiled as his eyes flashed red.

"Powerful." He replied.

PLEASE READ! THIS EXPLAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

Okay! A little confrontation with the Gryffindors, and also his personality revealed! I tried to make it different from Voldemort's since Hadrian grew up with Draka only and abusive relatives, so I hope I did a good job. As an explanation to his understanding of Voldemort, we all know that Harry Potter could see into Voldemort's mind, so Hadrian was just able to at an earlier age. That is how he knew that Voldemort was possessing Quirrell, and that he respected Dumbledore. Also, pardon me for any grammar/spelling mistakes, though I will be going back over the chapters and fixing any mistakes. If I miss any, you can tell me what you noticed and I'll fix it. Thanks!
