Chapter 17: Chapter 17
After an hour of flying, Hadrian headed back to the dorm. Normally he would find the first closet and teleport, but something made him head for one of the less used corridors. It turned out to be lucky for him because he saw the red-haired twins creeping quietly down the corridor and turning to a dead end. Hadrian grimaced as there was only a large picture of a pile of fruit at the end of the dead end. Still, he looked out of the hallway and blinked in surprise as he saw the picture shut behind a pair of Gryffindor students.
"A secret passage or a room?" He asked himself, and headed for the image with the Magic Vision activated. there is a magical lock in the shape of a pear, because he had no idea how to unlock the magic lock, he ran his fingers over his pear.
He was surprised again when a mouth glared at the top of the pear, and the image opened wide.
"Ooh, who do we have here, my brother?"
"The young serpent wandered into the kitchen, my brother."
"I see, I see. Will it not be the famous boy? "
"No doubt, the Dark Lord Potter honored us with his presence."
"Your Lordship, what can we help you with?"
"Or are you looking for house elf services, Your Lordship?"
Indeed, Hadrian had no idea how to react to this situation, because these two were perfect in front of him and were able to confuse absolutely anyone with their alternate speech.
"House elves?" Hadrian asked, noting the hundreds of small characters that jumped from one thing to the other, realizing where it was. he didn't expect a kitchen with a magical race.
"Ah, another student, will you wish? Dinky likes to fill in the gentleman's wish, "the house elf asked him, clad in a clean piece of fabric that she adjusted for her needs.
"Nice to meet you, Dinky. Could I get a cup of tea? And if it doesn't take a lot of time, could anyone explain everything about your race? "Hadrian and Dinky asked, snapping their fingers, to prepare a table with a comfortable armchair, and one of the other elves sent him a tray of teapot, an empty cup, and a plate of biscuits. There was also lemon, milk or sugar if he wanted to taste the tea anyway.
"The young gentleman wants to know about the house elves?" Dinky said.
"Yes, if you would be so kind, if you have time, I wouldn't like to disturb you from something and come anytime later," Hadrian replied, ignoring the pair of older Gryffindors.
"Hey, we're here, too," they said in unison.
"I'm sorry, who are you at all?" Hadrian asked them, not sounding like he was apologizing.
"I'm Gred," the first of them began.
"And I'm Forge," the other continued.
"And together we make up the Weasley twins, the successors of the legendary Marauders and the greatest junkies in the whole school," they said together.
"Nice to meet you, Mario and Luigi, if you'll excuse me, Dinky has a lesson for me and I wouldn't like to spend more time on her than necessary," Hadrian said, returning to Dinky, who blushed with the attention he had given her. Fred and George took a crate of butter lager from the other elves and walked away quickly, and Hadrian muttered something about mad fairy tales under his nose, which made the house elves visibly offended.
"Dinky can tell the young man about our origins, but no one has ever trusted us, few of our masters ever believed us. But the young gentleman will surely believe us, the young gentleman does not only have the gift of magic, but also another gift of our mother Telly, "Dinky said, and Hadrian thought.
"Your mother? Tella, something tells me, "Hadrian asked, trying to remember where he'd seen the name.
"Our mother Tella has other names, young sir. One time she was known as Terra, then Gaia, and today her people call her Earth, "said one of the house elves, who was just hurrying around.
"Gaia? Goblins told me a little about her. So are you her children? "Hadrian asked curiously.
"Yes, Tella created the fathers and mothers of our fathers and mothers. When the planet was scorched by a wave of fire and killed almost everything alive, Tella was born to restore life. Our ancestors planted the first trees, planted grass, cared for bushes and much more.
Many generations, many fathers and mothers of our fathers and mothers worked with the love with which Tella created us, and we transformed the dead planet back into green paradise. The world was clean, healthy and full of magic. The fathers of our fathers and mothers of our mothers were exalted, singing to trees and stones, shaping, creating and perfecting everything around us by the magic Tella has given us.
When the first people came, we taught them. Yes, we taught the early people, just as Tella endowed us with her knowledge, we passed it on to people. But for a long time we were still alone with magic, and people didn't have our abilities, they started to envy us and then we hate them when they found out that we couldn't give them magic.
First we fled back to the woods, to the safety of our cities and homes where people did not dare. We were hidden behind powerful barriers, but one learned to direct the fire. The tool for their survival has become a tool for our destruction. It was a tremendous misfortune, a clean and healthy nature full of life burned to ashes by greedy people. But Tella answered our plea. The fathers of our fathers and the mother of our mothers were not warriors, they had no knowledge of how to fight, and our magic was not created to hurt, only to create, heal and preserve life.
Tella helped us. From the small hills and low mountains, the mountains became mighty. The whole world shuddered at her anger, and when the door opened from within the mountains, the brave dwarves on the backs of the first dragons drove the people back to their hiding places, away from our cities and homes.
We, dwarfs and primordial dragons, children of nature, stone, and the non-cooling fire of the planet's core. All with magic, we have restored what has been destroyed, and the dwarves have helped us build far stronger and more powerful homes that could no longer be destroyed by mere fire.
Very long time passed before we met people again. We didn't trust them, not after they betrayed our trust, our teachings, and destroyed everything they lost. However, these people were no longer the animals, they were wiser, more educated.
We were reluctant to trust them for a long time before we took a few of them into learning. We showed them again how to care for nature and in return she took care of them. The dwarves taught them how to defend themselves and how to hunt for food. Our alliance took a long time, despite the fact that people with a gift from Telly began to appear. We have always taught them how to safely use the gift they have received. First, they were just gifts to control certain elements, then gifts of transformation into animals, feeling the emotions of others, the occasional gift of a vision of a possible future.
Then came the gift of magic itself. Yes, yes, magic is a gift of our mother, and people worshiped her as their goddess. For some time they were just random individuals, but then people found that when a man and woman with a gift of magic had a child, the child would also have a gift of magic, but not from our mother, but from their parents. Magical parents' children were far stronger than their parents, each generation more powerful than the previous. Magic became part of them, and the older it was, the deeper its roots were in people's bodies.
The more there were, the less they went to us in the woods and homes to learn from us, and they began to forget the origin of their gift. They began to do experiments, subjected nature, animals and themselves to various experiments. They twisted and altered the magic that was given to them and started to change everything around them just because they could. We tried to stop them, our greatest teachers, the best dwarf fighters and the wisest of the dragons, all of us trying to reverse the direction people went, but they didn't listen to us. They escaped from us for fear of getting rid of their gift.
In the middle of the ocean, they lifted the earth from its two, creating a huge island. They created a ritual where a hundred of them sacrificed their lives to protect themselves around the island, through which none of us could. The Land of Atlantis, a mighty empire of magical people we knew about, but had no idea what was going on behind the protective barriers.
There was silence for a long time and we went back to caring for life, teaching those who did not have the gift of magic and lived in peace and quiet. Then the darkness came. The people on Atlantis were no longer satisfied with what they had and opened the gates to other worlds. They released terrifying magic creatures, water demons, huge spiders, dragons with animal and bloodthirsty minds, and many other monsters and creatures on our planet.
The magical empire fell under this invasion, and people without gifts were massacred and hunted to feed these monsters and demons. The dwarves rose to fight and guarded the borders of our empire for long and long years, and Tella even sent us Goblin helpers who came out of clay and stone. We seemed to win and drive the demons, but then the worst of them came. A ghost full of darkness, coldness wherever he looked. He was neither alive nor dead, and his magic, so terrible and terrifying that everything around him began to change to his image. He mastered people with the gift of magic, changed them and transformed them, made them his own army. His very existence was a plague that destroyed everything alive, destroying our own magic.
Tella responded to his threat with our freedom. She gave us the freedom to fight, which we just did not cure, but we could even destroy. Our knowledge of magic was used in a new way, and together with the others we drove this demon back to his world and imprisoned his monsters on Atlantis. We have imprisoned the entire magical realm with powerful magic and returned to the bottom in the deepest point of the ocean of the world.
However, the Darkness cursed us in our expulsion. Wise dragons began to lose their minds and became mere animals with powerful magic. The dwarves returned to their mountains and turned back to the stone from which they came. Goblins survived, but altered and hungry for a bloody fight. And our free nation has become a race of small elves. We no longer had our own magic, we had no freedom. The Darkness cursed us with eternal bondage to people with magic, and even our beloved Tella could not break his curse.
Since then we have served people with a gift of magic, we are attached to them and our bond keeps us alive for our services. If we had not accepted this magical bond, our magic would have faded, disappeared, and we would have died in pain and madness, "Dinky told him, and Hadrian didn't even try to hide the tears that ran down his face in two streams. She did not know why he believed it, but he guessed that it was because he himself had a gift from Gaia, and so he was associated with these creatures at a completely different level than an ordinary magician or sorcerer.
Hadrian got up from his chair and knelt in front of Dinky, whom he embraced. No elf moved, all watching the reaction of the young wizard carrying their mother's gift. They were already accustomed to the fact that everyone had laughed at their history and no one believed them, but none of them had experienced a reaction like this.
"I know it won't change anything, but I'm very sorry," he said, looking at all the house elves.
"I'm so sorry you were hit by such a cruel fate. Nobody deserves anything like that, especially not you. But I promise that in my eyes you will only be proud and courageous creatures and children of Telly. None of you will be a slave in my eyes, I swear to you, "Hadrian said, and had to sit on the ground as a wave of house elves flooded him, gratefully and lovingly embracing him. The joy and happiness in their eyes was very contagious and he was still he laughed with tears on his cheeks and embraced each of them, not knowing that that day he had gained the loyalty of absolutely all the house elves on Earth, though he had never told them so much, he had a name for them of their noble origin - Forest Elves.
"Young lord, you have to hurry to your dormitory, start fighting in a while, you are in the Council and you must not miss it," Colby told him, and Hadrian thanked him, then said goodbye and teleported to his room, where he went to the Arena. Mirrors and he noticed that he didn't look too good and still quickly jumped into the bathroom to rinse.
Hadrian didn't want to miss Friday's duel because they were sixth-year fights and he was really curious about what the only witch he knew so far was, capable, and Amanda didn't really disappoint him.
Her ability to cast her wand without giving her an advantage over all her opponents, and it was clear why she was the Slytherin Queen. Even the sixth grade students were not bad, but none of them was on Amanda, who had left their curses with their left hand and added their own with their wand. In addition, most of the idiots didn't stand there, never stopping all the time and constantly moving, so even though she couldn't turn the spell against her opponent, she wasn't threatened to hit her.
Her movements and the deadly speed she could attack reminded him of a cobra. Once he saw a document about poisonous snakes and Amanda was a cobra in human form and would not be surprised if she were an animagus and her animal was just from this group of snakes.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" Gemma said, noticing Hadrian's reaction.
"Indeed the Slytherin Queen. Powerful, cunning and deadly. No wonder the King or Prince of Slytherin is not here, none of them would survive by her side, "Hadrian replied, shocking everyone from the Council, none of them expected this answer.
"Do you really believe there is no one to deal with her?" She asked, wondering what Hadrian would say, because she could read in people and even better read between the lines.
Although Gemma was strong in magic and sat in the Council since her second year, it was not her strongest weapon, it was her mind and ability to read everybody around her and formulate her attitude accordingly. Amanda noticed her talents and took her under her wings despite the fact that they both knew the next Queen wouldn't be her, perhaps the Princess alongside the mighty King or Prince.
"Even if I had more magic and had full control over it, it would always win, I am not illusioned. After all, we have several years of experience and experience is what decides the winner. Well, at least for the most part, "he replied, watching Snape send three young men to the infirmary, who had sexual innuendos to Amanda, and one of them even claimed that when he knocked her down, he would like to enjoy serving him with all possible ways.
Hadrian was disgusted with this behavior, though he remembered the memory of Amanda trying to seduce him. He moaned silently at that, and decided to buy far looser underwear that would have a little freedom.
Despite the fact that they all went to the main lounge or to their rooms, he himself remained seated and still played all the duel Amanda attended. She did not choose to compete with only the winner of her year, but decided to fight half of them. He recalled the words Tamara had told him during the recap, and he began to play with the idea of asking Amanda for help.
He wasn't going to tell her all his secrets, and certainly not that he was a player, but maybe he didn't have to, maybe he could use his connection with Abyss to get books and scrolls that no one else in the wizarding world had access to and paid for lessons in fights and everything around it.
He also had to figure out how to repay her for less help in preparing for the Potions class. Without her advice, Snape would certainly eat him alive and not only lose his dormitory, he would certainly have received school punishment and his place in the Council of Seven would be seriously weakened.
The castle bell rang through the halls of Hogwarts, and Hadrian looked up at the clock on the wall. There were enough hours, and because he had nothing to do that day, he teleported to his room. He hadn't noticed that two pairs of eyes were watching him all the time. One was full of curiosity, trying to uncover any of his secrets, the other eyes full of hatred and promising only pain and suffering.
You slept in your bed. HP and MP are fully restored.
Despite the fact that during the week there were dueling during the evening, the seventh-year fights were held on Saturday morning after breakfast so that everyone was free for the rest of the weekend.
Hadrian certainly welcomed this change, as he intended to return to the kitchen and learn more about the elves and their abilities. He hoped to learn from them. If other wizards despise the teachings of the oldest living race on Earth, it is their problem. He will receive any help, even if it is only in the form of theory and lessons about the origin and proper use of magic.
"The young gentleman is back, will the young gentleman want anything?" Lucky asked.
"If it doesn't matter, tea will be enough. Yesterday I had to leave hastily and had no chance to ask a lot of questions I had. If I don't delay anyone in anything, "Hadrian replied and sat in a chair that had remained there since yesterday's noon.
"Lucky likes to serve the young gentleman and answer his questions," the leprechaun replied, and in a moment he sat across from him with a tea pot on the table. Hadrian thanked gratefully for the first time.
"Lucky, when Dinky summarized your history to me yesterday, I combined many events with certain facts I had previously known from other sources. If I'm not mistaken, in myths and legends your people know them under a different name, right? Elves or the Forest Elves, all of you were told before the Dark Curse put you in, "Hadrian began, and Lucky nodded.
"The young man is really smart. But we are no longer what we used to be, our magic is weak, bound, as well as our will, "he replied.
"But not knowledge, you still remain, don't you?" I guess having knowledge and not being able to make full use of it must be devastating. However, you can still be a teacher, as it was in the early days when everything was easier. I'm probably asking a lot, but I'd like to learn from you, whatever you choose to teach me. I would like to develop my potential to be ready. The Goblins have warned me about the dangers that threaten me from Abyss, and I find that there is no danger to me from there. I would like to be able to defend not only myself but also those around me so that no one can use them against me.
When Gaia gave me a gift, it changed my life, and I promised not to ruin my puppet and not only do my best to proudly bear the name and dreams that my parents put into me, but also to be a better person, magician, the wizard, and perhaps the mage, if it does, "said Hadrian, and Lucky studied it with his big eyes and examined it for a few minutes.
"Maybe, maybe it's our chance to get back to what we were. Teachers and protectors of life. But the decision is not for Lucky, young sir. Our Elder and the Wisest of Us must decide. If the young man wishes, Lucky will make his request to the Elder, "Lucky said, and Hadrian smiled.
"It's very kind of you and I appreciate it. Because I don't know your habits, it may sound like an insult and I apologize for that, but wouldn't it be better if I gave my request personally to the Elders? "He asked.
"Lucky apologizes, young Lord, but the Elders are in a place where no one but us can enter. Once upon a time, a young gentleman would have earned a lot of respect if he had stood in front of the Elders personally, but it was no longer possible, "Lucky explained.
"You don't have to apologize for anything. As I said, I don't know much about you, and although I have questions, I wouldn't like to insult you in any way, "Hadrian assured him, and again he drank the herbal tea he had tasted. in his Sanctuary.
"Lucky is on his way now, and for us the journey to the Elders is very long. Rocky has time, if it doesn't bother the young man? "Lucky snatched him from thinking.
"Of course, and many thanks for this chance you decided to give me, Lucky, I am immensely obliged to make any decision of the Elder," Hadrian replied, lowering his head to the respect of the little Elf.
"Young sir, I'm Rocky and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Rocky is also glad that there is someone who believes and wishes to know our teachings, "said the young and energetic elf.
"Nice to meet you, Rocky. If possible, I would like to know, can elves see magic and their colors? I have one of many skills that allows me to feel magic, and when I fully mastered it, the skill of seeing magic was unlocked. First, it was just a uniform color, but now I can discern something about six colors, "Hadrian asked.
"Oh, yes, we can see the colors of magic, we've been learning to recognize them as they are twisted together to use them for our goals. With the help of their wands, wizards direct the magic, changing its base at its discretion. We don't use magic like that, we shape it to give it a form that doesn't interfere with its purpose.
So far, the young man only sees the magician's magic, but when he sees the free magic, the true color of magic, he will be able to understand and possibly learn from us if the Elder allows it. Rocky knows that magicians can recognize up to eight pure colors of magic, then they're just shades and combinations of these colors. If the young man wished, Rocky could fully wake his gift? "Rocky offered, and Hadrian wasn't far from accepting his offer, but he immediately stopped.
It was true that if he reached the MAX level for Magic Vision, he would become Wizard and open up new possibilities, but at what price? Would he go to the elves asking for further unlocking of the maximum level for his skills? Where would it have gotten her had she forgotten her training and got everything that easy without much effort? He doubted that the Elves would then respect him, and he knew that he himself would not appreciate the skills he would have obtained without any effort, sweat and blood.
"I have to refuse, Rocky. Not only do I lose your confidence, but also yours in your own skills. I will be glad for any lessons and teachings that you intend to enrich me, but I will not and will not ask to unlock my abilities to full potential without making an effort to improve myself. Despite the fact that I also progressively understand and learn to use my gifts without abusing them so much, "Hadrian replied, watching Rocky smile at the whole round and all the other elves who heard his answer. , they nodded in agreement.
"The young gentleman has passed this test, and Rocky is really glad it happened." The young man certainly has many other questions Rocky can answer. "
"A few years ago I discovered my ability to control the element of ice when I teleported to save my friend's life. Do elves have access to an element? I saw you disappear and appear, and I know that it is impossible to move around at Hogwarts and conclude that those who use their element are not limited by this? "
"Rocky can't answer fully, young sir." I can tell that magical creatures with control over an element are capable of teleporting or flashing, as some say. The director's phoenix is able to travel by fire and there are very few barriers to stop them. We don't use any element to get from place to place, more to say, young sir, "Rocky apologized.
"If you don't use any element, then it's not teleportation, and relocation, what the magicians have, isn't it," Hadrian began to go through everything he knew about them, so he sat in silence for a moment, then remembered something. Around us, magic surely does not float in one place, it must flow, wander in invisible streams, go through absolutely everything.You can bend, use and shape these currents, can you enter them, travel with their help, right? Hadrian asked.
"Yes and no, but please don't ask anymore, young sir, Rocky can't say anything more about it, not without the permission of the Elders," Rocky said again, and Hadrian knew that if he had given him orders, he would have to tell him. but he would never betray them like this, he swore to them not to treat them as slaves.
"I understand and apologize if I have caused you any trouble. I guess I'll keep the other questions until the Elders decide. That's why I ask for something else. Around myself, I have an illegal screen that prevents the Owl Post Office from delivering mail to my person. I am a celebrity in the wizarding world, and I guess there must have been a myriad of letters. Do you have any idea where my mail could be? I'm going to take this screen off and tell the public why none of them ever got the answer. Although it's not my fault, I certainly owe them an apology and some explanation, "Hadrian asked.
"Mopsy apologizes, young sir. The director has commanded all your mail to be kept in one of the many vaults and not to tell anyone, but when the young lord asks, we cannot keep him from his rightful property, despite someone else's order. Mopsy had been in charge of all the mail the young master had received for years. If he wishes, can Mopsy take him to the vault? "Asked the elderly elf, who looked really unhappy.
"Nothing innocent of you, Mops and thank you, I'd like to go there just to go back there anytime. Rocky, thank you for your time and I will no longer delay you, "Hadrian bowed to him and grabbed Mops for the offered hand.
When Mopsy relocated them, it was different than traveling with a portkey or teleportation. It was in the blink of an eye, but he managed to activate the Magic Vision, so he noticed the blurry colors around them. He was wrong, the elves did not enter the magical currents, they slid on them. Leaving this finding to himself, he didn't want to worry Mops in any way.
+1 level to Magic Vision!
"This is all yours, young sir. Mops ranked all mail by sender name, as well as the latest letters to the oldest. The young man also received many toys, books, gold and other gifts. Everything is lined up for the young man to know. If you'll excuse me, Mopsy has to get back to their work, "she explained to him and disappeared before his eyes.
Hadrian looked around and found that the safe was the size of their common room, and each piece of the vault was filled with described boxes of various sizes. Each box had a name and a list of dates when any mail came from that person.
There were a lot of toys everywhere, there were also a few shelves full of books, no matter the chest full of money. Dumbledore was hiding all this from him, denied all this and doubted he would ever admit to it. If it hadn't been for Hadrian to find the screen that kept the owl from finding him, he doubted he'd ever get to it.
"Time to face the aftermath, old man," grinned Hadrian, and began writing a letter for the Daily Wreath. It would cost him a lot of time, but he would answer all these letters. to answer each person for all the letters at once.To avoid risking Dumbledore taking steps to stop him, he put everything in the vault in his Inventory, though he was over a thousand squares, but his Inventory was unlimited and everything was safe. a letter in his hand teleported a short distance from the Entrance Hall.
"Hi, Artemis. How do you like Hogwarts? Enough space for hunting? "Hadrian asked his companion in the form of a snowy owl, which flew over his shoulder and gently pecked him in his ear so as not to cause any injury.
"I know, I didn't have much time, but I promise I'll find a way for you to take part in the fight. You bear the name of the Goddess of Hunting, surely the time will come when you can fight by my side, "he said, and Artemis chuckled.
"I have an important task for you, my noble Artemis. This letter must reach the editor of the Daily Prophet, "he told her, and Artemis set his leg where the letter tied her.
"Don't get caught, girl and the gods of the wind will smile at you and help you on your way," he wished her a happy journey, watching her until she disappeared from sight. He had Artemis and Glacian at his side, they would never betray him.
Hadrian spent the rest of the day locked up in his room, reading all the letters and writing answers to them in one single letter for each person. He also thanked each person for their gifts in the form of a thank-you card, which he had created and, through the craft, he had multiplied to just name the recipient and his signature.
When Hadrian came out of his room at dinner time, he was able to read and write down the letters of fifty people, including at least half of former or existing students, and many letters from future students and children who sent him various pictures.
Hadrian had to devote himself to meditation to control his emotions, despite the fact that Player's Mind was helping him. He read many letters where his missing answers destroyed many child's dreams and, if he was a hero for them, he was a villain to them in later letters. Regardless of the dissatisfied letters from the parents of the children who were reproached for his behavior despite the fact that none of it was his fault. He hoped that his late answers, thanks, apologies, and letter to the Daily Prophet would work, and he would fix the damage Dumbledore had caused.
"Hadrian, we haven't seen you since the end of the battle, something happened that you closed your room for the whole day?" Tracey asked, noticing it first.
"Good taste," Hadrian told them, and sat wearily at the table.
"Is something wrong?" Daphne asked.
"You could say that. I found out that someone had used an illegal screen on me to keep the owl from finding me. Ten years, ten long years, I've been receiving mail from the wizarding world, and nobody told me, and now I have to deal with the consequences of it all. Do you know how many children have sent me their letters over the years? Their wishes were not answered, no one ever answered them, and all their dreams were destroyed. And why? Because an idiotic old man plays a god and thinks he can make decisions about the lives of others! "Hadrian raged again, but calmed down as Daphne put a hand on his clenched fist.
"What is the plan?" Daphne asked him, and Artemis flew into the Great Hall at the same time. Hadrian took off and she sat on his shoulder, a thin scroll of parchment tied to his leg.
Mr. Potter,
We were all shocked at what you sent us to the Daily Prophet editor, and we all apologize for having written you off a few years ago. Now it is clear to us why you never answered a single letter. In the morning issue of Daily Prophet, your letter will be printed on the front page. The one responsible for this would deserve to rot in Azkaban.
If it is possible and you have some time in the future, we would like to interview you. The magic world has many questions that only you can answer.
Sincerely,
Office of the Daily Prophet
Hadrian read the letter and then handed it to Daphne, who had some idea of what he had done. It didn't take her long to figure out who was really responsible for this, and gave Dumbledore one of her icy glances, not that the director had something to do with it.
"Great work, she has beautiful Artemis. The gods actually smiled at you when she did it so quickly, "Artemis stroked his chest, which she proudly turned off.
"What, Potter, did you pay someone to write you this late and draw more attention to you?" No one is able to write you in normal time? "Draco snorted at him, who hated it when anything around him did not turn around.
"Draco, your allusions and the desire to provoke me are so childish and embarrassing that it is not worth taking them into account. Being you, I will also start to do my homework because I will check their work tomorrow night. Every student of our first year of college will be ready to start the next one at the end of the week with all that. Now we are in the lead and we have a good lead, I am not going to lose this position because of anyone who is under my watch, we understand ?! "Hadrian asked him, and Draco wanted to retort, but for a moment he made his magical aura visible. Draco nodded obediently.
Hadrian knew it wasn't right to intimidate them like that, but when he couldn't control them with respect and dormitory loyalty, he had to control them differently and fear in his ability was one such way.
"Hadrian, do you want any help? You must have thousands of letters that you have to read and answer, "Daphne asked again.
"This is something I have to do myself, although I appreciate your help offerings. But if you would like to, I would like to find some magical orphanage or some institution that cares for the children. I have received many gifts and toys and will certainly keep some for a variety of reasons, but I would like to give the rest to those who need them more than I do, "Hadrian replied, and Daphne nodded.
"I'll see what you need. I do not know if there are any homes for children, but at Sv. Munga is a children's ward where some of these toys would certainly fit and get a positive response from the public, "she assured him.
"I have a question, what are you going to do with our letters?" Tracey asked, slightly blushing, because she had once sent him various letters to reveal her great dreams, and she wasn't the only one.
"I will read all of them to one and answer them as best I can. I also got many drawings and pictures, I make them albums and see what happens next. If you're worried about making fun of someone you wrote about a few years ago, you don't have to worry about it, besides my answer, I'll never say anything again if you wish so, "Hadrian and Tracey replied she nodded in agreement.
Returning to college, he could read and write letters for another ten people before he washed and went to bed.
You slept in your bed. HP and MP are fully restored.
Everyone would expect a peaceful Sunday breakfast, but that was not the case because every student had a Daily Prophet who had a special edition. Right on the first page, the greatest possible script was the headline article that spun around his letter.
The boy-who-survived spoke!
Written by Richard Snow
Dear readers, You are surely as surprised as the entire Daily Prophet's editorial staff, when yesterday noon came a letter from anyone other than the Boy-Who-Lived-Hadrian James Potter (11).
You may remember a few years old articles when we found out that Harry Potter had received countless letters from our children and those who were grateful for stopping him-whose-we don't. At that time we were very disappointed and thought about our hero the worst when he accepted our gifts without a single answer or thanks.
However, now we know why! Read the letter that has arrived and judge for yourself whether this is a rude young man who has gone into the head as some have been claiming for years.
All the inhabitants of the Wizarding World,
My name is Hadrian James Potter and in the last month after my return to the wizarding world, I found myself famous for something I don't really remember unless you count the nightmares of cold laughing and poisonous green light.
I immediately found the source of the information and found out why I was so famous. I was supposed to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort, but I had no idea within the age of eleven that a wizarding world existed. From my parents' murder, I grew up with my relatives who had been trying for years to deny any magic.
However, I had to ask myself a question. When I was so famous, why was nobody ever contacting me? Why didn't I grow up in a wizarding world surrounded by magic, as most of the public thought? I don't know the answer to the second question yet, but I know the first one. I have been informed that there is an illegal screen around my person that blocks all owl mail, except at Hogwarts. Why is that so and who cut me off the world like that? I do not know for sure and I can only guess, but I believe that the appropriate authorities of our government will be able to come to that.
However, it wasn't the worst finding. When I arrived at Hogwarts, like every first-year student, I went to explore the castle and, by chance, discovered a room full of letters and gifts. All this was addressed to me personally, and I knew I had to do something.
Despite the fact that it is not my fault, I would like to apologize to everyone who has ever written or sent me and never received a reply or even a thank you. The letters I received is a huge amount and it will take me some time to read them all. However, I promise to respond to all people and thank you very much. Therefore, I ask you all a bit of patience and forgiveness of a mistake that has never been.
Hadrian by James Potter
Potter's heir
Black Heir
Here you see, dear reader. Who has committed such a serious crime against our savior? Who wanted us to think that he was an ungrateful brat who didn't appreciate any of us? We don't know the answers to these questions, but we promise to have them very soon.
The Daily Prophet editor also asks the Ministry of Magic to thoroughly review the situation. Albus Dumbledore promised us that the last Potter was properly taken care of, but it didn't seem to be the case.
Eventually, the Daily Prophet's editorial staff apologizes for all the insults and slanders we have reported to Mr. Potter over the years in deceptive beliefs. We wish him success in the school year.

"Dumbledore is not looking pleased," Daphne said, and Hadrian lifted his gaze to him. He saw Dumbledore staring at him, not only not contented, Hadrian felt a certain pressure on his mind and quickly looked away.
You revealed a mental attack!
A special Magic Skill was created by a special act.
Having revealed a mental attack, he gained the Magic Skill of Intra-Lvl. 1.
Intra Defense - Active / Passive - Lvl. 1 - Exp: 00.00% - Intra Defense is a discipline of mind magic. Intra-edge allows you to control your own mind, give it its form, and create protection around it so that no one can penetrate it through Intraspirit. The higher the level, the higher the chance of detecting a mental attack. It also increases the speed of information processing and its subsequent recall from the depths of the mind.
Passive Intra-Defensive: The passive part of Intranor consists in distributing memories, increasing emotion control, and protecting the mind.
Active Intranor: The active part of Intranor lies in the defensive struggle against intruders in their own minds. Though Intra-Abrasion is a magical skill, it does not require magical energy, rather mental power and will.
Bonus - Passive: 10% chance of detecting mental attack, 1% of the rate of information absorption and remembering.
Bonus - Active: Mind protection increased by% equal to WIS. You can actively protect your mind up to 3 times a day, then there is a Temporary Status - Mental Exhaustion (-100 HP / h for the duration)
"What happened so quickly he looked away?" Tracey asked him as she stuffed her breakfast, but she could still see her surroundings.
"Dumbledore tried to get in my mind. I was fortunate enough to feel it now and move away, "he replied, indicating that he had the capability of Introbranch, but that was not the case.
"So you know Numb? My father taught me the basics and each of the pureblood families must learn at least the most basic level to discover the attack on their minds. You should know that it's illegal for someone to attack the mind of a minor without the permission of his legal or magical guardian, and you must also be aware that he will be used against you before using Intimidation, "Daphne told him immediately.
"Do you know if there are any books on this? Or is it possible for you to explain to me the different steps to improve it? I wouldn't like anyone to poke me in my head, "Hadrian asked.
"I will write my father today to send me one of the basic manuals. However, it will cost you a lot, and before you decide what it will be, you owe me, "she told him, and he nodded, waiting for it to be so.
"Potter, how can you afford to write such lies! Draco screamed now, and Hadrian just picked up his right hand and made his second hereditary ring visible next to the first one.
"First, check the facts before you accuse someone of lies, Draco, you might not like the consequences." I also hope you remember what I told you yesterday. Today, I will review your homework for the next week, "Hadrian told him, and he paid no further attention to him.
Pigs - At Three Brooms - Secret Meeting Room:
Amanda Rosier, the current Silver Queen of Slytherin, opened a poor-looking door, but only looked outward when someone came to the hidden staircase. However, without the correct password, anyone would only find a liquor store. Conversely, with the right password, he would enter a large room with many armchairs, tables, but also a large table that was hand carved from mahogany. The whole room was in the colors of the Slytherin College, though a little gold and blue were missing.
It wasn't exactly known when this room was built, but its purpose was absolutely clear from the very beginning. There was a Council of Seven Slytherin College when it was necessary, but the most important purpose was to meet the former Queens with the present, and the Princesses were missing in Slytherin.
Rosmert was seated on a comfortable seat, who had been an informant of two Queens and one Princess after her studies at Hogwarts. Narcissa Malfoy, who was not wearing the mask of indifference and contempt she wore in public, sat at the same table instead, a slight smile on her face and a glass of red wine in her hand.
The third person who was there that morning was Agáta Whisp. Some might argue that old Lady Longbottom woke respect, but when someone saw Agatha and her icy blue eyes, he would reassess those people's ranks.
"Sweetheart, sit down and have a drink, but you know. We are still waiting for two more, "Rosmerta said, and Amanda sat in her free chair.
"Good morning," she said, turning to the fireplace, where the flames were green.
"We're all here or are we still waiting for somebody else?" Asked a new-born bronze-skinned woman named Lukrécie Zabini. attack against her position in the new dormitory.
"I had to finish the job for Dumbledore, so I'm sorry I'm late," Madame Malkin went through the door.
"You're just in time, Angelo, Marion," Rosmerta told them, and prepared two more glasses of white wine.
"We all know why we are here today. All week I had to listen to Lucius complaining as a small child and Draco was no better in his letters. Amanda, what can you tell us about young Potter? If Lord Black really is, it changes the whole game, "Narcissa said for the first time, and five women stared at the young girl.
"There have been several changes in the Council of Seven. Harper lost his place, now he is there for the second year of Richard Doge. Pucey is sitting on the fifth chair, Doge on the sixth and Potter on the seventh, "she told them.
"Oh, Snape allowed his godson not to reach one of seven seats?" Lukrecie asked.
"Not that he did, but Potter and Greengrass were far better than Malfoy. Zabini and Nott are slightly better or at the same level as Malfoy. Perhaps Lilith Moon might still be out of the girls, her control is definitely better than Malfoy, but she has somewhat less magical reserves. As for Potter, his magical supplies are bigger than mine, and he's still the Magician, and depending on being able to see magic, he won't be long and will be a Wizard, "she told them.
"So there will be something about why the Dark Lord tried to assassinate him as a child," Lukrecie said.
"There are rumors about Diagon Ally that he killed two Death Eaters while protecting the shopkeepers of Tomorrow's Clothing. No one knows for sure, but a few shops and businesses that own Muggle-borns bear the coats of arms of the Potters and Blacks, "Marion said, and Narcissa nodded.
"Lucius mentioned that he was missing two of the lower Death Eaters, and the other two Aurors he had been bribed had sent Bones to Azkaban."
"Whatever people want, they don't believe an eleven-year-old boy is capable of murder," Rosmerta said.
"I believe it. He controls the magic of the element of ice and, if I'm not mistaken, the magic of the element of lightning. Harper knew it very well. If Potter wanted to, Harper would have been dead before he even realized. Potter is very dangerous, especially when everything is covered with a layer of ice around him. He can make Japanese swords out of the ice and he knows how to use them, because when he pierced Harper, he didn't hit a single organ, but it caused him tremendous pain no matter that everything around the wound, even inside his body, was frozen. I understood that he had not yet gained masterful control over this element, but from the number of his own spells he had created in combination with this element, it would not be a beginner. In addition, I have no idea how its most important spell works, which makes it appear in the whirlwinds of its rival, and it is impossible to intervene, "Amanda explained, unable to help herself, having to lick her lips as she remembered the power and magic that the young Hadrian abounded. There were only a few individuals at school who wouldn't deal with her unless she counted professors who were definitely at a different level, but she never expected someone younger to appear over her magical stock.
"Another Potter with spell magic. Few generations could boast of this gift. Descendants of the Founders and the House of Black, Peverell, Longbottom, Bones, Ollivander and Nott. Anyone who knows history knows that the Peverell family was swallowed up by the Gryffindor family, part of the Slytherin family, and then renamed the Potter family. Which means that young Potter did not inherit the elements' magic from these three genera, but also from the Black family. Dorea Black was a damn powerful Witch who wasn't far from becoming a Mage, not to mention Charlus. Young James was somewhat disappointing, although becoming an Animagus at the age of fifteen also requires considerable talent, and if McGonagall can be trusted, Dumbledore himself would have been able to transcend Dumbledore once, "said Agatha, who was just a few years older than Madame Longbottom, who was coincidentally her successor as the Silver Queen.
What a shame she had refused to attend meetings, but Agatha understood her, her position did not allow her to associate with the opposition party, notwithstanding that she lost most of her family during the last war, but mainly her son and his wife.
"So Potter can get Gryffindor and Slytherin titles?" Amanda asked.
"I doubt it," Narcissa said. "The Dark Lord is Slytherin's heir, and from what I know from Lucius, Gryffindor's heir is either Dumbledore or young Longbottom. the two Gryffindor line bastards, the Gryffindors' family devoured the Peverell family only on the female side, as far as the Slytherin part was concerned, the Gaunt family whose name appeared and disappeared in history, and if my research is true, the Dark Lord comes from the family Gaunt, "Narcissa said, studying history in her spare time, and Lucius hadn't allowed her anything else when she was his purebred trophy and the key to the wealth of the Black family.
Certainly there was no love between them, and although she loved her son, she was well aware that she had inherited very little from her and suspected that Lucius had used some potions to make a perfect heir to his family with enough blood and magic to make Black Draco also won this title. But as it seemed, Lucius's plan didn't work out, as it was in most cases. His plans came only when he had to kill someone and leave no trace of them.
"Does Slytherin seem to have a new Prince or even a King after a long time?" Lukrecie asked, curious to see young Potter herself. James Potter was handsome and she was lucky enough to catch him in her bed before she he had been with Evans, although he was a few years younger, but his reputation had preceded him, though he still didn't have Black, whom she had also saddled with.
"If he survives this year and holds his place next year, I will make him my Prince. Whether he becomes King or loses his title Prince decides between members of the Council at the end of next year. Now I realize that his magical aura is the same color as his eyes. The Emerald Prince or the Emerald King doesn't sound bad, "Amanda replied.
"Lucius won't be pleased, and I guess Severus won't. What is the relationship between Severus and future Lord Black? "Asked Narcissa.
"The first day I thought Snape would kill him on the first possible occasion, but something changed and now Snape is neutral to him if he doesn't try to ignore him." I know he's trying to destroy the friendship between Potter and Dagworth-Granger. The two of them know each other before Hogwarts, so I don't know if he can do it, but I've seen some disagreements. However, it will not be a big deal if they still have their learning circle. If I didn't know otherwise, I'd think Potter was building a harem with just the girls around him, "she explained, letting another glass of wine pour.
"So that Death Eater dirt jumps as his Lord Dumbledore whistles. I wouldn't be surprised if the relationship between Potter and Dumbledore was ruined today. It is clear to everyone that it was Dumbledore who created barriers and shutters around Potter to keep him as far away from the magic world as possible. Evans had a Muggle sister, Dumbledore had to hide it with her, "Rosmerta said.
"Dumbledore and Potter are no friends, they've all found out at the welcome feast when Potter revealed him to eat and drink." It never occurred to me to look at food for any foreign magic. That very evening I had my enchanted bracelet with potions and alien substances detected in my food and drink, so I would never fly the same trick again. It will certainly help me from the Weasley twins quirks, "Amanda agreed, and for another hour she answered many questions that were not just about Hadrian, but also other high school students and the development of college relations.
During that hour, Rosmert, Marion, and Narcissa, who had to return home or to their shop / inn, apologized. When only Lukrécie, Agáta and Amanda stayed there, Agáta could finally ask what she wanted to know.
"Tell me what is the relationship between my great-grandfather Daphne and the young Potter?" She mentioned that she and Tracey had joined his group of friends? "Agatha wanted to know.
"It's hard to say this early, but if it wasn't Potter, I would certainly include Greengrass among my successors or successors." Davis is a good ally, but she lacks natural cunning, though she may still be surprised. However, Greengrass knew who to contact from the very beginning and could be a strong Queen if she had a chance. "
"What about Blaise? I know it's pretty difficult, especially when everyone compares it to Bianca, "Lukrécie asked.
"Zabini is holding her sideways and sometimes having fun with Nott. I think he's waiting for his chance and I don't know if he will support Potter. During their duel, some hints of Zabini's magical ability and position as a second-rate heir fell. Zabini called Potter a Muggle bastard and promised him revenge. However, despite the fact that the first year is divided into three or four groups, so far Potter has a total control over them. "
"I'll send him a letter to apologize to him and keep Potter at least as a neutral ally." Narcissa might not have noticed, but she told us that Voldemort was still alive, without power, but not dead. No Zabini will ever be in the ranks of that mad Lord, nor will we be Dumbledore. Potter's family has called us a few times to our service and has always been richly rewarded and I am not going to come to this opportunity just because of my son's pride, which he inherited from his idiotic father. Amanda, I'd like to ask you a favor. Take care not to get out of line, okay? I'll make certain rules for him and send you a copy of the letter I write to tell you about my terms.
If you can't say this year, there are still holidays and I will quickly fix a mistake in his behavior, Bianca has shown very strong prerequisites for our art and will be happy to practice with his assistance, "Lukrécie grinned dangerously, and Amanda knew why she was so The Black Widow says, and both older women left the room, and Amanda was alone there.
As the green flames faded, she sighed deeply. It was true that she was the Queen of Slytherin, but these women held the same title as herself, despite the fact that it was many years ago and they have gained far more experience over the years. She had to be careful, everyone had a goal, just as she did. She would not like to become a puppet or instrument to achieve their goals without being aware of or gaining something for herself.
After a few minutes, she lifted herself and headed out of the room. She had to return to Hogwarts before any of the professors noticed that she had left the school grounds. Fortunately, the secret journey through the Honey Paradise was fully accessible.
Hogwarts - Directorate - half an hour after breakfast:
Albus too many namesBrumbal sat at his desk, savoring absently one lemon drop after another. He had a moment of time, so he wondered what had to be done. In addition to the paintings of former directors, phoenix and wise hat, he was alone in his office, but that was about to change because there was a knock on his door, just in time.
"Neville, just come in, it's open," Dumbledore said to the young man who was at the door, and Dumbledore smiled at his astonished expression. associated with his position as headmaster, but nothing so complicated about it.
"Ch-did you want to see me, Headmaster?" Neville asked, a little startled. He knew Dumbledore from his grandmother's story and did not always portray it in the best light. didn't explain why.
"Come, settle down, my boy. You don't have to worry, you're not in any trouble, as you might think, "Dumbledore smiled, offering him drops of his special brew. He didn't need an Imperius when he managed to achieve far better results with such subtle tools.
Neville remained silent, trying to cope with the taste of the candy he had received. He was so sweet and sour that it was almost impossible to bear, but as soon as the initial reaction faded, his taste buds couldn't get enough of the combination.
"Neville, as a school director, I am responsible for all my students. I was told you had problems with magic. I knew your parents and their parents, and none of them had the problems you have. If you allow me, I'd like to figure out what's wrong and try to help you? "Dumbledore suggested, and Neville looked very uncertain.
"I don't know, in-everyone says I'm an m-hooker, sir," he stammered weakly, and Dumbledore smiled.
"I doubt that very much, my boy. If you were a tramp, Hogwarts would never have considered you powerful enough to learn all that was needed. I suspect why you are not capable of spells that your peers are capable of. Could I please see your wand? "Dumbledore persuaded him, and Neville pulled her out and put her on the table uncertainly.
"Oh, I thought. Augusta gave you your father's wand. It's not a bad wand at all, but everyone who knows at least a little in the magic of wands would tell you that the wand serves only its owner. The truth is that as long as your father lives, this wand will never accept another owner and will not serve anyone else as their own wand would serve them. It's good to remember your ancestors and honor their victims, but you're a combination of your parents, not just a copy of your father. If I could say it, you are more like your mother, and you have her character, "Dumbledore explained, and Neville felt something that was almost strange to him. the greatest magician of their century had just told him he was more like his mother, and he was angry with his family, which made him use his father's wand thinking that he would honor his victim, but the opposite was true. to sabotage his efforts to learn magic, he also had the idea of why it was so if his family declared him weak and unable to lead the Longbottom family, his uncle would become the new Lord despite the fact that his father still lived.
"Although I am not as proficient as Ollivander, I have a certain talent and I am almost sure that I have a wand for you that will surely accept you as your master," Dumbledore said, sending a first wand to Neville with a wandless levitation. but his Elder Wand served him far better and could use far more powerful spells with her than with his primordial wand.
As soon as Neville caught a new wand, red and gold sparks burst out of her, and the directors who watched it applauded.
"You seem to be a very powerful magician once. A perfect match with the wand of the greatest magician of all time, "said one of the former directors.
"Your praise will never cease, Everette. I'm glad this wand accepted you, after all, it was my first wand I received on my eleventh birthday. I believe we can expect big things from you, my boy, "Dumbledore smiled at the young Longbottom, congratulating himself for his excellent work. The truth was that even his wand would not accept Longbottom, but after performing many spells and one smaller one ritual, he managed to synchronize magic wand with magic boy who just sat in front of him with astonishment.A elder wand allowed him to do many things and no one would ever find hidden runes inside the wand he had just handed over to his future weapon. the block he placed on the boy shortly after his birth.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Director," Neville said gratefully and could not wait to test the new wand.
"Nothing happened, boy. As I said, my job is to help my students, which means that my doors are always fully open to you. If I could afford to suggest something, Miss Granger from Ravenclaw College is a very diligent student and I believe she is one of the best in her class. Sure to help you catch up on everything you haven't done before. He is currently in the school library, if you would like to use this chance, "the director said, and with a very slight Intra-Intense strengthened his confidence and the idea of using his classmate's help. Dumbledore watched with a smile as Neville bowed and thanked him, then ran out of his office. like a bullet.
"Part of the first plan started successfully," he said to himself, and quickly wrote a note on a small piece of parchment and sent it to the school library with the help of the spell he had created, into the hands of a young student who saw enormous potential.
Hogwarts - Lower Floors:
Hadrian had checked that the first floor of the dungeon had been fully mapped and went one of the many steps down to the lower floor. The map was immediately updated, and he could see only the stairs with a straight corridor that ended with a stone portal.
On his shoulder he had Artemis, who had decided to go with him and Glacian walked by her side, which she had summoned before descending the stairs.
Before they went through the stone portal, he noticed that there were many strange runes on him, but he didn't worry too much about it until a new announcement table jumped in front of him.
You've entered a special location - Dungeon: Catacombs - Armory!
Info: Hogwarts abound in many secrets, and centuries ago they had to face the siege of enemies. Be careful because catacombs are very successful. Clear the first floor to leave!
"That's what I got into something again," Hadrian sighed, glad he was only Sunday morning, and he had to rest from writing off to an infinite number of letters.
