The Sun was basking through the window of the Black Manor House. It has already been 4 years since Hadrian went back to the Past and he is content to stay in this Timeline. Hadrian opens his eyes slowly shiver when the chill of the winter in their room.
He exhales snuggle more into the person who holds him with a strong arm that might protect him from the Cruelty of the World. The Public has already begun to feel relieved that the Dark Lord will not come back with Hadrian who killed the 7 Horcrux already and yet Dumbledore hasn't made a move. He wonders when he makes a move while he has a Crime behind his back.
It was foolish of him to think that he can get away from his deed and foolishness. Lately, He got a dream that his Ancestor called him to the Dragon Palace and it's already a few days after the Malfoy Family went on Vacation to have a Family Bonding.
Hadrian blink saw that his Beloved already wake up brushed his long raven silky hair make him melt slightly looking at those Crimson eye
"What are you thinking?" Marvollo ask caressed his cheek
"Today, I need to go to the Dragon Palace... They are calling me..." Hadrian say to him make him hummed
"Do you want me to join you?" He asked
"Yes, please..." Hadrian snuggle more into the warm
For about a few minutes snuggling in the bed finally, Hadrian and Marvollo wake up from the bed. He went to the bedroom with Marvollo still half-asleep, He brushed his teeth and washed his face then he went to the Dressing Room while Marvollo went to the Bathroom.
He wears a black and crimson robe since he rarely uses Informal Clothes to meet the Ancestor. Hadrian braided his hair into a braid crown and wore Marvolo Dragon Necklace on his neck.
He looks back when saw Marvollo enter the Dressing Room make him smile, He saw him wear an Icy Blue and Silver Robe
"Let's go to have breakfast then we can go to the Dragon Palace..." Marvolo say to him
"Yeah..." Hadrian nodd
They go to the Dining Room, Hadrian tells the Adult that they're gonna go to the Dragon Palace, They nodd in letting them go. He was 12 years old and 2 days later Marvolo will become 17 years old and he will reveal the Status of his Heritance to the World.
"Have Fun..." Sirius say to them
They use Portkey to the Dragon Palace, They stumble for a bit but after regaining their composure as they can smell an Ocean Smell, an Iron from the Volcanic near it. They looked up and saw the Majestic Palace that stood gloriously on the top of the Hill with a road that was like a Snake to the Palace.
"Let's go..." Marvolo walk toward the palace follow by his soulmate
They go to the front door of the Palace, it was carefully carved in that Stone Wall where it has a Family Crest of the Pendragon Family. Such an Elegant and yet deadly Crest
A shield with a Dragon in it along with a Crimson Gem got embraced by the 2 Dragons at each side of the Shield and a Lance crossing behind the Shield.
(Truly, the absolute defence...)
Hadrian bleeds his finger and lets him touch the door make it showing a Blood Magic Matrix comes out from the Door make the Door open knowledge that He has Blood of the Pendragon.
The First thing they notice is the wide stair and a door at the Top with the Stair circling it to the side of the door showing an open wide window where the Dragon can stay in there.
Hadrian and Marvolo walk to the door and open it with his blood again, The Door opened showing a Hallway that is quite dark different from the Front Hall, they saw a bunch of statues of dragons and armoury. There is a lot of the Door but they go to the Left Corridor where the Main Family stays while the Right is for the Guest.
They go to the left in silence enjoying the breeze from the Wide Open Window where the Dragon Tamer let their Dragon perched, every time Hadrian go into the Palace he can imagine when Pendragon Family is still in it Glorious where the Blue Sky is full with Dragons flying around.
They go to the end of the Corridor and saw one of the Dragon Statue make Hadrian halted in front of the Statue
^Urnēptre nyke^ (Reveal to me) Hadrian say in Dragon Language
The Dragon Statue eye suddenly flashed a Crimson and not long the Wall is opened showing a Hidden Room make Hadrian and Marvolo enter the room
"Come on then..." Hadrian say to Marvolo
They enter the Library where they saw a bunch of books but they go to the Deeper part and saw Another Dragon, Hadrian commands them to open the Hidden Door using the Dragon Language. They enter the room saw a bunch of Portrait in there make him walk in the middle along with Marvolo
He sat on his knee with Marvollo who decided to wait at the Library. He saw the portrait slowly wake up from their slumber saw their Heir sit in the middle of the Room
^Fàilte arlī, dārilaros^ (Welcome Back, Heir..) One of the Elder spoke
^ Tha mi dhachaigh^(I'm Home...) Hadrian bow to them in respect and straighten,^Skoros iksis se cùis èiginneach bona se elder brōzas nyke?^ (What is the urgent matter that the Elder calls me?)
^Gu dearbh, ābrītsos dārilaros. Iksā 12 jēdri old... nyke pendagon kostilus ziry se jēda syt ao naejot gūrogon se artifact hen Pendragon lentor^ (Indeed, Young Heir. You are 12 Years old... I think perhaps it the time for you to take the Artifact of the Pendragon Family) One of the Elder say to him
^skoros iksis ziry?^ (what is it?) Hadrian ask in curious
One of the elder point at the Silver Box in the corner of the room make Hadrian take the Box and open it gasped saw a Dragon Egg in there make him wide eye look at the Elder
"How?" He ask in shocked
^ Zaldrīzes buinidh naejot īlva, Pendragon lentor. Tolvie riña isse age 12 jorrāelagon naejot emagon iā drōmon hen zaldrīzes^ (Dragon belongs to us, Pendragon Family. Every Child in age 12 need to have an Egg of Dragon) One of the Elder informed him
^Yn, lo ēdan ziry ñuha dearbh-aithne jiōraton air fhoillseachadh...^ (But, If i had it my Identity got revealed...) Hadrian shook his head,^Chan urrainn dhomh innse ñuha dearbh-aithne^ (I can't reveal my Identity...)
The Elder looked at each other and nodd,^Aōhoso, se zaldrīzes drōmon kessa jiōragon mirre isse kesīr ēva ao revealo se heritance ao kessa gūrogon ziry lēda ao^ (As you wish, the Dragon Egg will get kept in here until you reveal the Heritance you shall take it with you...)
Hadrian smile at them and bow to them.^Kirimvose^ (Thank you...)
He gets out from the Ancestor room, SIghing in relief that everything is finish and done as he saw the Teenager Dark Lord reading a book on one of the Sofa make him smile go to him
"Are you done?" Marvolo ask closing his book
"Yeah..." Hadrian nodd
Marvollo stood up from his seat and returned the book wandlessly, "Let's go home..."
They go back to the Black Manor through the Portkey, They only go for a few minutes it seems. Hadrian exhale decided to change his clothes to a simple tunic Clothes while Marvollo wear a simple Green and Silver Sweater then they go to the Family Room where only saw Crouch Jr who reading a book
"Where Remus and Sirius?" Hadrian ask
"I didn't know..." He answers mindlessly and glances at him,"Full moon is coming soon.."
"Ah.." He understands right away, They need some 'Extra Time' since the Fullmoon is coming.
"I'm going to my Study Room..." Marvolo say to them turn his heel
"I also join you..." Hadrian chirped make Marvollo look back at him raised his eyebrow
Hadrian exhale give a soft smile and follow Marvollo to his Office Study, He sits on the Couch and thanks Krecher for the Warm Tea and Cookies
"Ugh... There 2 more days when you need to reveal your heritage.. How are you going to reveal? Do I need to call Rita?" Hadrian ask while drinking warm tea
"No need... The Chevalier Family helped me to reveal it using an International Newspaper..." Marvollo say to them
Hadrian hummed,"Without face?"
"Without face.." Marvollo nodded in the confirmation
Hadrian needed to give him a present but what kind of Present he liked. Honestly, it was quite confusing. He nibbles into his cookie look at Marvolo who focused on his work make him hummed
'I miss my old body...' He sighs internally
He admitted that he went through puberty with Hadrian who was still 12 years old but had the mind of an Adult, it was quite weird. He also wondered if he was going to talk or not since it has no connection with this Timeline.
Dumbledore still hasn't contacted him yet, he doesn't know what happened in his mind but he hopes that it gonna finish soon but the time is still Ticking and Hadrian is waiting for Dumbledore but there's no movement.
'Perhaps, He knows that he was at a disadvantage...' Hadrian though in amused
Dumbledore thought that Hadrian was gonna become a Blind Little Soldier for him to use even if he's not gonna use it. He wanted to declare Neville as a 'Boy-Who-Live' and yet Hadrian already knew his next movement.
A Tugg in his heart frowned slightly. He wonders how many people that Dumbledore lied to. How many children he lied and manipulated. It makes him feel disgusted to use an Innocent Children feeling to be played at.
Hadrian wanted to prioritize the bias against Dark and Light first since it was important. He might need someone help but who?
He wants to destroy Dumbledore's word, He wants to end this Madness, He wants to reveal all of his evil deeds to the Public but he can't. He can't move rashly; he needs to move slowly, Watch and Observe.
Fear...
Hadrian fears the result of how many Criminal Deeds that Dumbledore makes using an Innocent people, He fears how low his Kingdom falls into the Disgrace, He fears how many more stay hid in the darkness.
A Warm feeling in his cheek makes his eyes snap open, makes him blink, When did he close his eyes? Hadrian blink once, twice until his sight becomes clear again saw a Crimson Eye in front of him make him blink once again
"You got lost... Where are you?" Marvolo whispered ask
"I..." Hadrian blink looked around sighing, "I lost in my thoughts."
"Where are you?" He asks once again with the patient
"Dumbledore.." Hadrian answer
Marvolo growled slightly exhaled and let his Mate lay on his shoulder, "He can not touch you as long as I am alive..."
Hadrian snorted under his breath, "You can't... I know he has much more plans behind his back..."
"Perhaps..." He brushes his hair and makes him melt slightly, "But you have the greatest mind I've ever seen..."
Hadrian gives a huff of a chuckle, all of his negative feelings are gone. He is glad that he has a friend beside him and supported him not like before
"Flattery didn't help, My lord..." Hadrian whisper to him with teased in his voice
Marvolo sniff leaned on him, "It was the Truth..."
If someone from the past says that he is gonna lean at the Dark Lord or at Tom Riddle, Hadrian will hex that person of course and yet he's not in his arms. Cold and yet Warm arm.
How Ironic...
XXXXX
It was December 29, Tomorrow Marvolo birthday. Hadrian exhales, looking outside from his small world that is Glass House in the Garden, looking outside of the Snow that pills in the Ground. He chanted a warmer spell in the House so he can stay in there.
Hadrian was mulled over what he was supposed to give to Marvolo. He honestly didn't know what he liked. He didn't like Accessories, He has all the books. Literally, that person has everything. He talks to Sirius, Remus and Crouch Jr about it but they only give him a smile
"He will love all the gifts you send to him..." Crouch Jr say to him
"You don't need to give him an expensive gift but more importantly it's come from your heart..." Sirius say to him
In his previous life, Hadrian really didn't know the feeling of Love or anything like that. His friend didn't give him a present except a Christmas Gift and that was it.
He will love all the gifts you send to him...
Crouch Jr's words echoed in his mind and he seriously didn't need it to help him or not. Hadrian close his book and stand up from the couch decided to go to Diagon Alley to look around for the present
"Siri, Remus... I'm gonna go to the Diagon Alley for a bit..." Hadrian say to him
"Okay... Come back before the Dinner..." Remus say to him
"Have fun..." Sirius waves at him
Hadrian gives them a smile, he is happy now that he has people that he can call 'Family', he has a place that calls him 'Home'. He floo to the Diagon Alley and indeed saw a lot of people in there since it was Holiday, Hadrian exhaled and began to walk around looking around, he had his robe hoodie up so people didn't notice him.
Hadrian walked around until he saw something that catches his eyes make him halted and go to the store staring at the things read the description make him smile
This is it...
XXXX
The sun is almost set, Hadrian hurriedly goes back home and hides the present in his pocket. He wished to give it to Marvolo at Midnight. All of his worries is gone after has this gift hope that he like it
"You get it?" Sirius ask notice a happy face on his Godson's face
"Yes..." Hadrian nodded grinning
Sirius hopes that he can make up for his absence in Azkaban. He thought that he had no hope but somehow his Godson managed to free him from that Hell and when he heard that he was Time-Travel, Sirius didn't think about it because Hadrian now is like he's a newborn baby feeling the first time of everything. All of the experiment that he can't feel in his previous life, he experiment it, The Love and everything and how could Sirius refused the Sparkling and the Happiness radiate from his Godson even thought the partner of him is the 'Ex-Dark Lord'.
Remus also thought like that and it is shown that in the past, Hadrian didn't have anything that gave him a Joy or Happy feeling since it was a War. They sometimes can see a haunted look in his eyes, an old eyes that don't belong to children, a Child who already sees the Horror of the World.
They only hope that Hadrian can open up to them but they didn't worry anymore because now that boy has Marvollo around him and they can't do anything but let the Next-generation take care of it and change this Rotten World.
They can only support them from behind...
The Dinner went past quickly, Hadrian didn't worry about the present anymore and waited for midnight to come while Marvolo who was in study Room planning for his debut of his Heritance that made him leave Hadrian alone.
He was in the bedroom in front of the Firewood with a book in his hand leaned at the sofa in a nonchalant stare at the fire.
In the New Year, Hadrian needs to tell Madam Bones about the 4 Artifacts as proof that he indeed already killed the Voldemort Soul. He still hasn't seen the 4 Artifacts to the Madam Bones and he hopes that he will send it soon. He also needs to call Rita about it to told them about Hadrian found the 4 Artifact and the 4 Horcrux.
He can't wait for tomorrow when the Daily Prophet is screaming for the Sigvard Last Crown Prince to be founded. Hadrian chuckled to himself when he thought about Dumbledore face, 2 Royal Families that connected to the Britain Wizarding World can become a threat to his position after all.
Hadrian break from his amusement when the door opened showing Marvolo make him smile
"Are you done?" He asks
He looked at Hadrian and surprisingly sat beside him, "You still haven't slept yet?"
"Not yet... need to wait for Midnight..." Hadrian said leaned to him
He exhaled and leaned at Hadrian, "You didn't need to wait until Midnight..."
"Need to," Hadrian say firmly
"Then allow me to accompany you..." Marvolo kiss his head
They talk to each other about many things and are content to have a presence with each other. They are like the sun and moon, They can not live without each other. Their Magic will be sad and disarray.
Marvolo often wondered if his little mate is a Genius with a mind who is much more advanced than other children, in his eyes all of the politics is Game and that is make the Politician feared of Pendragon Family of Politic Mind.
They didn't really like BloodShed that's why they didn't attack but when they were in the Court, there was a lot of Bloodsheds using their Silver Tongue.
Slytherin Family is much more than Malfoy Family perhaps...
People who want to play with the Pendragon family in politics, Media, Socialized. They only got burned by their play.
"It was almost midnight..." Hadrian whisper to him look at the clock
"Indeed..." He nodded looks outside the night sky from the big window
"Five.." Hadrian counted a ridiculous look from Marvolo that made him Grin, "Four... Three... Two... One.."
An Old clock Bell was heard in the Black House make Hadrian grin to him and look up at Marvollo
"Happy 17th Birthday, Tom.." Hadrian say to him grinning make a small firework wandlessly
"Thank you..." Marvolo leaned at him look at the small firework
It was beautiful...
"I have a present for you..." Hadrian say to him
"Oh?" He asks in curious
He takes out a small box give it to him make Marvolo open it raised his eyebrow look at Hadrian
"This is a Soulmate Ring. I altered the spell for a bit, this ring can sense our presence. If the other one is hurt the other one can feel it. It also can be used to lead the other person's place..." Hadrian explain to him
"..." Marvolo only stare at him and then at the simple Gold Snake Ring
"You... You didn't like it?" Hadrian ask in hesitance, fidgeting slightly
Marvolo embraced him, making him yelped slightly, "Thank you. I love it. When was the last time I received a present..."
Hadrian relief and embrace the Teenager Dark Lord, "From now on. Always, Always... You will receive a present. You have a second chance.."
I too have a second chance...
Marvolo leaned away and took the ring into his Index finger, "Did you have one too?"
"I have..." Hadrian also showing his Index finger
Marvollo embraced him tightly and refused to let him go,"Thank you..."
"Your Welcome..." Hadrian answer with yawning
"You're tired..." He lifted him in a bridal way and made Hadrian yelped and let him relax in the comfy bed,"Sleep..."
Marvolo didn't sleep immediately that night, He looked at the Young Man beside him. He looked so peaceful and beautiful in his sleep, He wondered what happened in his mind. He wondered what made this Little Mate of him want to stay by his side.
He was a Dark Lord, He kills people, He torture people. Marvolo thought that he was going to be killed by the Boy-Who-Live but all of that was broken away when he first met the Boy-Who-Live in Hogwart and sorted into Slytherin. It was broken when the Boy, a mere 11 Years old spoke the Magic Language and Parseltongue to him, It was broken when he didn't back down from his Crimson Eye when normally they back down in fear.
Marvollo loved to see him defy Dumbledore and changed the view of the world with only his word, For a long time, he finally found someone who was worthy to stay beside him.
On that night, Marvollo sleep peacefully like before with the person who stays beside him after everything he had done
