All of these rooms were located on the western side of the castle. The eastern side, Hadrian had yet to explore.
In on either side of him, were 2 hallways that led out of the castle. He assumed that's how he got into the towers.
Standing in front of the stairs he just walked up, the guest rooms where to his right, and there were 4 doors to his left. Directly in front of him, was a sitting area.
The entire floor was a beautiful marble, and the hallways leading to the towers where barely lit with the sunlight from outside.
Hadrian knew the first door to his left to be the second floor of the library. So, he skipped ahead to the second door.
This, was a spirit room. The floor was a dark brown wood, and the roof was covered in see-through sheets, starting in the center of the room and spreading everywhere, the extra hangings hung in the corners. The lights were glowing gems and stones, hanging by threads randomly through the room.
It reminded Hadrian of the Divination classroom.
The walls, were a giant portrait. The painting was actually painted on the walls, and it held the Lord's family.
They all smiled at Hadrian, and he couldn't help but smile back. Looking around the rest of the potrait, he saw the Founders, Morgana, Merlin, Arthur, Lily, James, and Newt. They were all moving around, talking happily when they noticed their heir.
Hadrian knew that these versions of his family wouldn't remember their time in the inbetween together, but he was happy to see them nonetheless.
"Harry, I'm sure you have many questions for us." James was cut off by Hadrian shaking his head in amusement.
'"I do not, actually. I know of my real mother, if that is what you mean. If I didn't know of who I was, then I wouldn't have been here."' Hadrian smiled as they all looked at him in shock.
'"Emrys, I'm sure you know of Death?"'
"I know of him, yes. Met him briefly when this Clotpole decided to die on me." Merlin gestured to Arthur when he said that, earning him a slap on the back of his head from the blonde King.
Hadrian chuckled at the two. '"Yes. Well then I'm sure you've heard the tale of his Deathly Hallows?"' He raised an elegant eyebrow at the Warlock.
"I-... you-... you're the Master of Death?!"
They looked at the 6 year old in shock once again.
'"*chuckling* Yes. We have all met before, you see. After my last life, Death gave me a deal. A retry at life, and a chance to make things right. In exchange, I gave up my voice. Of course, you all tought me how to project my "mental voice," as you liked to call it."'
Hadrian fondly remembered the memory of Merlin trying to name the ability he was teaching his heir, until Arthur simply said, "Merlin, stop teaching him how to speak with his mental voice and let me teach him how to wield a sword!" Merlin kept the name his husband gave the ability and let the "Royal Prat" teach him how to fight.
Hadrian told his family his life's story. Well, a shortened version. He still had a castle to explore, after all.
"Oh! Hadrian, before I forget. You can use your rings to summon your crowns, you are a king after all. And every King needs a crown."
Hadrian nodded towards Godric in thanks, and promised his family he would return soon.
Leaving the Spirit room, Hadrian headed towards the third room on his left, deciding to go down the hallways leading towards the towers last.
The third room was separated into two. The farther section, was labeled "Witches" and the section closer to the door was labeled "Wizards."
Walking into the Wizards one first, he saw a dark theme to the room, and shelves of shoes, fabric, and jewlery. Not a single finished piece of clothing was to be seen.
In the center of the room, was a stool that Hadrian guessed was for the fitting. Walking up to it, curious as to what was supposed to happen, he stood on top of the stool.
Three male goblins suddenly appeared, bowing before their ally. {Good day, King LeFay. We are the Goblins assigned to create and design the clothing for all and any events you may have or attend. Us and three other female goblins are the best designers and creators in all of our nation. We hope to meet your standards for any events you host in this extravagant home.}
One of the goblins spoke in a very elegant manor, and they all were wearing different shades of blue suits and seemed nervous dispite their confident stance.
'{Tell me, sir Goblin, what is your name? I would like to know the name if the six goblins creating our clothing.}'
{I am known as Briorok, to my left is Guzdekx, and to my right is Wrilsord. You will meet the other three goblins in the other room, as only you are allowed in both rooms.}
Hadrian nodded to the three as they were introduced, and left to greet the other three.
{Greetings, Lord LeFay. I am Alxai, Head designer in our nation. To my left is Beafelx, and to my right is Proftiess.} They bowed their heads to him as they were introduced, and Hadrian bowed back.
'{It is an honor to greet you three, Lady Alxai, Lady Beafelx, and Lady Proftiess. Your talents are well known, even in the Wizarding world. I thank you all for being here, and please send my thanks to your King as well.}'
Hadrian gave them a warm smile as they blushed at his praise, but nodded and flashed away.
(("Flashed" is going to be the Goblin form of Apparition))
The Witches room was almost exactly like the Wizard's, only instead of the dark-tone colors, it had a brighter tone.
Both rooms had 2 giant mirrors next to the door behind the stool, and opening the door directly in front of him, Hadrian found himself on the terrace in the ballroom.
Turning around, he saw that to anyone that was outside the dressing rooms, it would just look like a simple, white colored room. Hadrian, of course, knew otherwise.
The door he just walked out of was made from obsidian with gold designs. The door that led to the Wizard's dressing room was also obsidian, but with silver designs.
'Oh I am so going to enjoy living here.' Hadrian thought with a grin.
Leaving the ballroom terrace and exiting the third door on the second floor, Hadrian walked into the last room he had yet to see on this floor. 'Unless there is, undoubtedly, secret tunnels and passageways to get around. I'll ask Mal to show me them tomorrow.'
Opening the doors, he saw a crafting room. 'Huh. Wasn't expecting that.'
It had anything you could need for, well, crafts. From wand cores and woods, to rune carving tools, even the muggle crafts were here. There was a paint set in the corner, looking out the window that showed the front garden, there was even a gaming system and computers.
Hadrian started calling it the "creativity room." As it literally had anything and everything you might need to be creative.
Getting excited as he was almost done with the tour, he headed towards the hallways that led to the towers. Deciding to go the the eastern tower first, he turned left and walked down that hallway.
The hallway itself was stunning, as it started off as dark, dimly lit, maybe even "spooky." But as he got closer to the tower, it changed like a snap of his fingers.
The next thing Hadrian knew, he was standing on a bridge that led from the castle to the tower. Looking over on either side, he saw a river flow underneath him, and way in the distance he could see the river join a large, clear Lake that probably held all sorts of beautiful creatures.
Holding in his childlike glee, he pushed forward into the tower. Said tower was still a lot taller then where he was now, so he wasn't at all surprised when he finally got there there was more stairs leading up.
There were no windows on the way up, and the only light came from the sun peaking through the top of the tower.
Once he reached the door the led to the room inside the tower, he looked down.
Hadrian has never been afraid of hights, so looking straight down from the top of a very tall tower didn't really bother him. He knew that a lot of people his age, er at least his physical age, hated hights. He figured that's why he liked flying so much- because not many people were brave enough to go up high, so he tended to go to high places when he wanted to be left alone.
Shaking out of his thoughts, he opened the door to see a large room with windows and bookshelves for walls and a map of the stars for a roof.
There was a telescope to his left pointing towards the sky that was able to help map out the galaxy.
Hadrian also noticed that the map above his head brightened when he walked in, so he sent out some of his magic. The map of the stars brightened even more, and it started to move around.
Hadrian lifted his hand up towards the ceiling and waved his hand around, as if moving something on a screen, and was only slightly shocked when it actually worked like one too.
He made a fist with his hand and pulled the map down, and was glad to see that it created a hologram like map. Like 3D.
'Awesome. Just... awesome.'
With a flick of his wrist, the 3D map of the stars went back into the ceiling and he left the Eastern tower.
Once back inside the Castle, Hadrian walked straight across the room and into the dark hallway that led to the Western tower.
The hallway was exactly like it's twin, as were the stairs leading up. The room at the top however, not so much.
It was a nest! There were no walls, and only 5 giant pillars held up the roof overhead.
Hundreds of birds and winged creatures where flying around the tower, stopping at the nest to rest or to check on their eggs.
In the center of the room, was a giant bed/nest, where eggs of all shapes, sizes and colors were resting, waiting to hatch.
Hadrian smiled down at the eggs warmly, he wanted to help these hatchlings grow into amazing creatures.
He will protect every living thing in and around his new home with everything he had. For that, he could promise.
His vow of protection made, Hadrian walked back into the castle.
Turning towards the large window that was to his right, he noticed the window start to ripple and change.
The dragon that appeared narrowed it's eyes at Hadrian, to which he simply held his head high and let some of his magic flare out. The dragon bowed it's head in recognition, to which Hadrian returned.
The dragon turned it's attention to the outside of the castle, returning to its position as the "guard dog."
He turned back around and walked towards the stairs leading up towards the Third Floor.
Walking up the marble stairs, Hadrian was deep in his thoughts. 'As soon as I turn 7, I am leaving that dammed orphanage and coming here. Erase their memory of me all together. I could kill them, but that would attract too much attention. And what to do about Hogwarts... hmmm... I could go as Hadrian, or as Harry. If I went as Hadrian, then Dumbles would know that I knew about my ancestors... If I went as Harry, I might be able to keep him underestimating me... I can't have Dumb-as-a-door ruining all my fun, now could I? *chuckling* No. Hadrian LeFay is going undercover. I'll just have to work from the shadows... I can do that...'
Stopping as he reached the top of the stairs, he saw what looked like a elegant door, similar to that of the Vault door Hadrian found in the dungeons, except not.
For this door, Hadrian assumed he needed to assign a password... 'hmmm... do I set the password in English, to where anyone can get in? Or in Dragon Tounge, where only I may enter?' Thinking a bit, Hadrian thought out a plan. 'I could assign my magical signiture on the door, and then anyone that I trust may enter- with a password, of course. To anyone who I don't trust, the password will sound like a bunch of gibberish anytime they overhear it... that'll work...'
He reached out his hand and let some of his golden magic loose, letting it wrap around the entire Castle Grounds, but focusing it on this door. 'Oh wait... I suppose it wouldn't hurt to also do this for the Vault and the actual Dungeon Area... well, it wouldn't hurt me anyway.'
He did just that. He let his magic focus where he wanted it to, and even added a bit more protection over his Elfs and the Nest in the tower.
'Hmm... what should the password be... how about... "auferetur."'
And with that last word being projected to the hall, the doors clicked unlocked and swung open, allowing and recognizing both the Magical signiture and the newly set password.
Walking through the doors, Hadrian couldn't help but smile. 'This is my home. I actually get to live here. No more cupboard under the stairs, no more fake friends, I get to be free...'
Ever since he woke up in the inbetween, Hadrian was afraid that it was all just a dream. That he'd wake up one day to his aunt's shrill voice and her banging on his "bedroom" door. That was probably one of his biggest fears, but he knew that it was real. If it wasn't, then he wouldn't feel all of the pain.
In his previous life, he always had this voice in the back of his head saying none of it was real. But he pushed the voice away, because he wanted it to be real. He wanted to have friends, to have that "father figure," so he made himself believe it was true.
Now he knew though. His real family helped him understand that. He should have listened to that voice, telling him it wasn't real. But he learned from his mistakes. He knew what to expect now. 'And I am so going to enjoy surprising those who don't.'
Looking around the third floor of his home, he was amazed. The room he just walked into was huge, like a mansion inside a castle.
The entire area was a black/grey and gold theme, with some blue accents here and there. The light looked like a liquid gold swimming around near the roof, sparkling like diamonds.
The floor was a dark wood with gold accents randomly, and the carpet in the living room was a soft white and grey.
The living room had two couches with 3 comfy sitting chairs, the couches were a dark grey and circled the coffee table sitting in the center. The chairs where a lighter grey and were placed next to the couches. The table had a glass top with a gold stand and had some golden pots sitting on top that already had blue flowers growing. The couches and chairs all had some throw pillows on them and each one was a beautiful dark blue with different gold designs etched onto them.
Sitting in front of the couches was a black and gold marble fireplace, with the TV hanging off of that- much like the one Hadrian put in the Elf's quarters.
Walking around the fireplace and living room, he walked into the dining area and a smaller kitchen. 'Oh thank goodness. I thought I was gonna have to walk all the way down to the first floor to cook.'
The kitchen itself was small and simple, the floor was a light grey wood, matching the rest of the floor, and the fridge was designed to look like the dark grey cabinets.
The dining table was right next to the small kitchen, and it had dark blue chairs sitting around a gold and glass-top table. Above the table was another melting gold light, but this one had silver mixed in.
The center piece for the table was a circular ball made of ice, with a blue peony flower in the center.
Oddly enough, Hadrian could smell the flower the moment he walked in, even with it in the ice. He guessed the Elfs did something to make the sparkling ice not melt, and to make the scent spread. Either way, Hadrian loved it.
'Wait a minute... how did I not notice that the flower was everywhere? There are Peony flowers in the kitchen and living room as well, how the hell did I miss them?'
Shrugging it off, he walked into the Master Bedroom.
It was huge. The bed was to his right, and it had stairs leading up to it, as the bed was set on a separate small stage area, only about a foot above the rest of the floor. 'Huh. Neat.' The bed itself was very comfy looking, with light grey sheets, a dark grey comforter with gold designs creating a golden tree. There were tons of pillows, some were white, others where blue, and few were black and gold. The bed posts and headboard where made of Goblin steel, with liquid silver lights swimming around the bed.
The floor was a soft, sky blue carpet with darker blue swirls spread around randomly.
To the left of the bed was (another) fireplace, though this one did not have a TV hanging on it. It was a simple, but large fireplace that took up almost half of the wall. It was a reverse of the one in the master living area, with white marble and gold accents.
There was only a small dresser and mirror to the far right of the bed, but the mirror was also a two-way mirror, which Hadrian thought was a cool idea.
Going back down the few stairs of the bed-stage-thing (Hadrian didn't know what else to call it (and neither did the author)), he walked towards the walk in wardrobe across from the bed.
It was also huge. With a island with tons of drawers with millions of rings and other jewlery. There were shelves surrounding the island with fancy shoes and dress pants, and hanging on the other side of the shelves, were button up shirts, Wizard's Robes, coats, normal shirts, muggle jackets, and pretty much any peice of clothing you could dream of. There were even women's clothing, not many outfits, but they were there.
On the far wall of the wardrobe, was just a plain... normal.... boring.... wall? 'Odd.... let me try....' With a small wave of his hand and a small flicker of golden magic, the wall melted away to reveal Goblin Armour.
Centurion Armour.
Goblin made Armour in itself was an amazing honor, it means to be considered considered a great fighter in the Goblin Nation. But to be given Centurion Armour... it's the biggest honor anyone could be given! It means you are one of the best, a general, a king, a Warrior. There has only been 5 Centurion's that Hadrian knew of, all of which have been the Goblin King.
The armour itself was like an Assassin's clothing, it was skin tight and made of rare, enchanted golden scales. The entire suit would melt into a pure gold cuff you'd put on you arm when not in use, and would melt back around your body when needed. You could also just keep the armour up under your clothing, but keeping it up for so long would start draining your magic. ((For the under your clothing thing, think of Spider Man's suit when he's not wearing his mask.)) The suit also included a half mask, covering the bottom half of your face and neck. ((Think the Winter Soilder.))
'Oh I so need to have a talk with Ragnok. They spoil me. I swear. I'm at a loss for words... thoughts... yeah that.'
Once again shaking out of his stuppor, he left the Armour there and closed the wall back up with another wave of his hand.
The wardrobe itself didn't have an intrance door, just an open wall leading into it with dark stone floors that matched the rest of the master bedroom.
The shelves where made of a lighter wood, as were the drawers that the jewlery was in, but the top of the island was a reflective metal. The lights in here were much like the ones in the entrance hall, except much smaller.
Leaving the wardrobe area, Hadrian walked into the Master bathroom, which was next to the bed-stage. 'Yeah I have no idea what I'm supposed to call that.'
The bathroom was, once again, huge. On the far wall was the bath made of a smooth white marble. It was almost as big as the one in the Prefect's bathroom, and thankfully did not have a lonely ghost flouting around it.
The large bath was in a almost separate area, as it was surrounded by 3 walls with the farthest one from the door being a window.
The shower was to the bath's left, it was a walk in shower, with the shower head made into the ceiling and would rain down on whoever walked inside the open glass doors. The shower floor was a dark tile, and the 2 walls the shower was cornered into were painted a light grey, while the rest of the walls for the shower were glass.
Next to the shower was a somewhat small room with the toilet and a small dresser with the toiletries. The light in this small room was a single ball of blue fire in the ceiling.
The lights for the rest of the bathroom were thousands of small glowing gems that were etched into the ceiling to look like stars, and it worked. Hadrian could have looked at the star like ceiling for hours, but there was still more to explore.
In front of the shower and toilet room, were the sinks. 'Wait why is there two...?'
Guessing it was for a possible special someone, Hadrian shrugged it off and continued to examine the room.
The countertop of the sink was a black and gold marble, with the sinks themselves being a white marble bowl. The faucets were a dark blue metal, and the cabinets below the marble were a light grey wood. The mirror was covering almost half of the wall behind the sinks, and the frame of it was pure silver.
Walking out of the bathroom, Hadrian walked towards the large window at the end of the Bedroom.
There was, yet again, a fireplace placed in the center of the large window wall. They reached the very top of the high cieling and led out towards a terrace, overseeing the entire back yard.
Looking outside, he could see the large lake, a giant garden house, an indoor pool inside a giant barn like room made of glass, a huge mini castle for all the creatures and such, way off in the distance he could see a watch tower, and right below him he saw the magnificent garden.
Trees of all kinds surrounded the buildings and garden bellow, with a giant open field just beyond the garden, but before the treeline started.
Smiling down at his land, he thanked Death and his mother for everything he was given.
Walking back inside, he looked towards the light blue carpet and silver fireplace, wishing to get to use it soon. Hadrian loved fireplaces, the soft crackle of the flames always helped calm him down.
Walking out of the Master bedroom, there were two other doors on the third floor.
Hadrian walked into the door to the left of his room, and walked into a master guest room. It was like a mixture of his Master bedroom and the other guest rooms downstairs.
It had a large bed with earth toned blankets, two fireplaces- one in the bedroom and another in the small sitting area, a smaller version of his walk in wardrobe, a bathroom, one couch with two sitting chairs for the sitting area, a small dining table and one tv above the sitting room fireplace. All in all, the room was a pretty simple and smaller version of his own.
The door across from the Master guest room, led to an office and private library. There was a Goblin crafted desk that looked much like the one Ragnok had in his office, many weapons were hanging along the walls, and tall bookshelves were lined up behind the desk. There was 5 sitting chairs in front of the desk, all of which were a dark grey, while the one behind the desk was a dark blue. The floor in here was a beautiful marble that Hadrian could almost see his reflection in. The light was a silver chandelier, decorated with the same glowing stones from his wardrobe.
The entire office was very regal looking, but somehow still had a calm and inviting aura to it. Hadrian loved it.
Walking towards the desk, he found a door that led to his room to the right of it. As it was only noon, Hadrian decided to make himself a small lunch before heading back downstairs and dealing with Lucius.
'SHIT I FORGOT WE BROUGHT HIM! Ugh okay I should probably send Mal to bring him into a guest room...' sitting down at the desk, Hadrian called for his personal elf.
'"Mal!"'
"Yes, Ma-Hadrian?" He smiled as the elf, he had asked them all to just call him Hadrian, as the whole master thing made him feel dirty...
'"Please bring Mister Malfoy to one of the guest rooms, I had almost forgotten he came with us while I was wandering around. *chuckling* Also, if you could please thank King Ragnok and the other Elfs for all that they've done to fix up this place, I truly do love it."'
The elf nodded happily and popped away to do what was asked of her. Hadrian simply shook his head in amusement.
Standing up from the comfy blue chair, Hadrian walked back into his room to cook himself some lunch then freshen up before speaking with the Malfoy Lord.
After eating and taking a relaxing shower, Hadrian put on some comfy looking home-wear and walked into the Wardrobe to look at his clothing choices.
Noticing a full body mirror in the corner, he walked towards it before doing anything else.
Looking in the mirror, Hadrian let his glamour fall off. He had to keep his true form a secret, especially from the mudbloods at the orphanage.
There in the mirror stood a strong 6 year old, that looked like they could be 10. He grew a few inches, gained more muscle, and lost a bit more of the almost nonexistence baby fat. His eyes glowed brighter and his hair grew past his shoulders, which he quickly tied into a loose ponytail. His tattoos of his familiars appeared, and he was almost surprised at how much of his child body they covered.
Probably the most significant change though, was his newly created wings.
Hadrian found out long ago that he had wings, it was a part of his main Animagus form, the Guardian. He also found out, from his second visit to Gringotts, that he had multiple forms, and not just because of his Animagus abilities.
No no, he had a different form for each of his creature inheritances. Meaning he had a Demon form, an Angel form, a Elven form, a Veela form, excetra. He had yet to try out these forms though, he wanted to get his main animagus down first.
His wings had almost pure white feathers, with gold, black and blue tipped feathers mixed in. They were so big the ends of them dragged on the ground, and they were strong enough to lift him above the clouds. Hadrian stretched his true form out, and decided to keep his wings while he was home.
'Home... I'm home...'
