30 of July 11:45pm

Just 15 minutes till I turn 15 Harry thought, as he waited for 31 July he stated thinking about his years at Hogwarts, ‘first year I had to fight a mass murder and I killed him and got rewarded that’s no right no, second year was the basilisk you know the last time that happened a girl died and then I had to kill that blasted thing, Ron was absolutely no help and Dumbledore clearly knew I was down there as he said the Phoenix, third year was the whole.. Sirius thing. Then four year was the goblet of Fire seriously I was 14 I definitely shouldn’t of be forced to do that and watch one of if not my only true friends die honestly Ron up and abandoned me after I did fuck all, and Hermione just watched and then got annoyed that Ron was mad ‘like I’m sorry for sitting there doing absolutely nothing that’s my bad’, and just ugh I may act daft so Hermione doesn’t get mad at me but I can see everything how it is Dumblewhore is grooming me to die and Ron and his family except the twins, Bill, Charlie and Percy are using me for my riches and Hermione is using me for my fame. Honestly I’ve had enough, I will never trust any of them ever again, I don’t care if I have no friends I’ve still got Neville and luna Merlin I hope they’re okay and they’ve both sent me letters unlike my so called friends.

Soon it turns to 11:59pm and Harry starts singing happy birthday as he does every year but suddenly once it hits midnight the most excruciating pain Harry’s very felt went through him it got so bad he started to cry out before the pain became unbearable and he passes out.

Upon waking up Harry realises that the Dursley’s are out as other wise they would have woken him, and that he’s slept in which hasn’t happened since Petunia started hitting him with a spatula at five to wake him up to make breakfast.

As soon as Harry realised this he stands up only to be dizzy and start stumbling around also he seems taller? He swears the door wasn’t that low, ‘whatever I’ll go take a shower and wake up’ Harry thinks before moving to the bathroom.

After his shower he gets out much more awake and looks in the mirror before screaming, you see Harry looked in the mirror but the person who looked back wasn’t Harry at all it looked like him just different he has longer wavy hair instead of the birds nest and where his hair before was dark brown he now had pitch black hair with little bits of purple scattered about, his skin was it’s normal olive tone but his eyes oh Merlin his eyes the right his normal Emerald Green but the left a purple the same colour as the bits of purple but the most shocking of all was he had a tail. He. Had. A. Tail. One of those devil tails it was completely black with a little black triangle on the end, and another thing, he had tattoos now, two big devil wing tattoos on his back as he was thinking about what they do they just popped right out seriously he now had wings on his back leathery demon wings. On. His. Back. He also had sharper teeth not enough that you’d notice only if you were really looking but you could probably notice he now had fangs not full on vampire but his k9’s were sharper more pointy. Another thing was he was about 8 inches taller as he went from 5,6 to 6,2.

He thought he was about the pass out or maybe this is a dream whatever excuse he was trying to think of as to why he looked like the devil disappeared as soon as he saw the owl tapping on the bathroom glass. He sighed and went over to the owl taking the letter with a thank you, he open the letter as it read.

Dear Mr Hadrian James Potter-Black

We at the Goblin nation have noticed you have come into your creature inheritance and early at that we congratulate you on your early inheritance and ask you to please come to Gringotts Wizarding Bank to discuss your accounts and what will be happening moving forward when you are ready to go just hold this letter and say “Gringotts” once this is done you will be transported here as it is a portkey.

Sincerely, Griphook
Accounting manager of the most noble and ancient house of Potter.
Accounting manager of the most noble and ancient house of Black.

Soon after Harry finished reading the letter he went to find his nicest clothes unfortunately they still had rather big holes, after he got dressed he grabbed the letter and said “Gringotts” before he felt the familiar pull in his navel before he was in an office in Gringotts, turning around Harry saw a very familiar Goblin “Griphook?”, Harry said shocked.

Said Goblin only chuckled (or what Harry thought was a chuckle) before replying “yes, Mr Potter-Black were you unaware I’m your accounts manager?”.

“I- wait was this about accounts I only have one, you quite literally were the one to show it to me in my first year”, said Harry.

“S- what you’re telling me you think you only have one account?”, Griphook said looking angry lucky not at Harry that would have been scary.

“I mean yeah I’ve only ever been shown one account and no one tells me anything like at all also I lived with my muggle magic hating relatives so I didn’t know about magic before I turned 11”, Harry said.

“I- you what, oh Harry I think you should sit down there’s lots we need to discuss also you will be going down to the healers after this because of your relatives”, Griphook said firmly.

W-what why n-no you don’t get it I- I can’t leave or anything I-I’m fine”, Harry said looking stressed.

“And why can’t you leave these muggles of yours?”, Griphook asked dreading the answer, see over the years Griphook has only see Harry a couple of time but that was enough for Griphook to grown to like the boy with his wide curious eyes, bright smile and bubbly personality, he could hardly fathom as to why anyone would hurt such a person especially a child, in the Goblin nation the biggest number one rule is you don’t fuck with children or well you don’t fuck with children and get anyway with it.

“R-right well umm you know Dumbledore I- I’ve told him um w-what they do b-but he just t-thinks I’m lying a-and sends me back”, Harry said before turning away so Griphook wouldn’t see him tear up.

“Right then Harry no more of that you shan’t be living with such filth again I can promise you that even Dumbledore can’t do anything especially against an army of angry goblins”, Griphook replied to Harry.

“W-wait why would you do that?”, Harry questioned.

“Well Harry although I haven’t know you long I can tell you have a bright soul”, Griphook said smiling.

“I- okay thanks Mr Griphook”, Harry said smirking.

“I’ve told you before to not call me Mr, foolish child”,Griphook said shaking his head.

“Okay I’ll stop calling you Mr when you start calling me Harry actually I- um could you maybe c-call me Hadrian it um feels right”, Harry said shyly.

“Only because you asked so slyly I shall call you Hadrian now come on we need to figure out what you are then the healers”, Griphook said smiling.

“Okay how do we figure out what I am?”, Harry said brightly finally being able to know was he his.

“All you have to do it place 7 drops of blood on this paper”, Griphook says just gesturing to the piece of paper on his desk and the sharp knife next to it.

“Okay”, Harry says before cutting a straight line down his hand and onto the paper before he counts to 7 drops and lifts his hand away before Griphook heals the cut with a wave of his hand, after which they both watch as the paper fills with words before Griphook hands the paper to him telling him to read it.

After reading everything Harry stood up furiously showing Griphook the test when he looked up after reading the creature inheritance Griphook said “Demon they are rare but we will be able to connect one to help you learn your new life”.

“I- actually yeah that sounds really good but just keep reading it gets worse”, replied Harry.

As Griphook kept reading his face became angrier by the second till he looked up and placed a calm mask on his face before saying “I will deal with this and by this I mean everything I will connect the demon I told you about and I shall get all of your money back”.

“Okay t-thank you”, Harry said in a small voice.

“Also I’m what does it mean my mother was a pureblood?”,Hadrian asked quietly.

“Ah yes you see your mother Lillian was adopted after her parents died, I don’t think she ever knew as her adoptive parents never told her”, Griphook said.

“Oh okay thank you”, replied Hadrian.

“It is okay little one but while I fix all this you should go to the healers when you come back it will be fixed and the demon will be here to help you”, Griphook said while leading Harry to the healers.

As soon as they got to the healers Griphook explained what happened and then left leaving Harry with the Goblin healers.

“Oh you poor thing, come sit on a bed and I’ll run a diagnostic spell it’ll show all your injuries from birth to your current age okay, sweetie?”, one Goblin healers said.

“Okay, thank you”, Harry said while sitting down on one of the bed.

Almost as soon as Harry sat they did the spell and a long, long list appeared and it just kept getting longer till finally it stoped at about a meter and a half. Safe to say the Goblin healers were horrified especially after reading through and finding the highlights such as all fingers on his left hand were broken and twisted when asked Harry replied “only the devil uses their left hand”, Harry also had multiple broken bones that healed wrong he was also severely dehydrated and stavation The most concerning thing was the horcrux in his head, as soon as they read through it they started preparing the ritual rooms for use to heal him.

“Right then sweetie your have lots of old brakes, a horcrux and severe dehydration and starvation so you’ll be getting potions to fix that but as for the horcrux you’ll be needing a ritual it will probably be painful but it’s very important we get it out okay?”, the Goblin healer asked

“Okay about the potions and such but what’s a horcrux?”, Harry asked slightly scared.

“Well honey it’s a very bad piece of magic where someone tries to stay alive by putting their soul into things so we’ll have to get that out of you”, The Goblin replied before leading Harry to the ritual room.

“Okay”, Harry replied in a small voice which looked a bit odd as Harry was now quite lanky.

After the ritual and all of Harry’s potions to fix his brakes, dehydration and starvation. Griphook came back to lead Harry to his office where this demon that had come to help Harry would be.

As soon as Harry walked into the office he looked to see a teenager about 16 so the year above Harry and with the teenager could only be his parents a nice looking couple in there 30’s all three of them had the same colour hair pitch black with bits of purple like Harry’s but they all had purple eyes instead of one purple one green, as Harry looked at them he could also see they all have the same sharp teeth as him and he could see their tails, they couldn’t see his as he wrapped it round his thigh, as he assessed them he could see them assessing him, soon what looked to be the mother spoke.

“Are you sure he’s a demon, he doesn’t have a tail”, she said this gently as if making sure.

“I- um yeah I have a tail it’s just rapped round my leg”, Harry said looking down and blushing.

The family of demons gasped as if that personally offended them which Harr- wait no his names Hadrian, Hadrian didn’t know maybe it did offend them.

“Oh my poor dear does that not hurt?”, the mother asked before standing up and looking him over.

“I- I mean y-yes but like it’s fine”, Hadrian replied blushing and looking down as he wasn’t use to the attention on him.

“Oh that absolutely won’t do, dear I will not have someone in this family having a broken tail it’s happened once and it was terrible”, the mother said.

“I- um I didn’t know they couldn’t break but okay”, Hadrian said as he unwound his tail a brought it out before realising “w-wait family? I’m pretty sure mines all dead”, Harry said looking down.

“Well you’d be wrong on that assumption, hiya I’m Richard me and your father were cousins he was also a demon which is probably where you get it from, the one fretting all over you is my wife Evelyn and the one next to me is my son Zack.

“O-oh um hi I’m Hadrian, it’s nice to meet you all”, Hadrian said smiling brightly at them can you believe he has a family!!

“Oh Richard dear we’re keeping this one he’s just so precious”, Evelyn said whilst pinching Hadrians cheeks, which made Hadrian blush and looking down down/

“Merlin, mother laying it on thick there”, Zack said before turning to Hadrian and saying “he does look like a black kitten”.

“I- w-what no I don’t I’m 15 I don’t look like a kitten”, Hadrian said accidentally putting on a slight pout making everyone laugh making him blush.

“Well I’m 16 and I say you do”, Zack said while smiling mischievously.

“Right everyone sit down we need to discuss what’s going to happen with Hadrian”, Griphook said after a minute of the boys bickering which consisted of Zack calling Hadrian a kitten and Hadrian denying it.

“Right well me and my wife would like to offer our home as we’ve heard of Hadrians living situation and agree it’s unacceptable so Hadrian would you like to live with us?”, Richard asks looking at Hadrian.

“I- um w-will I still be going to Hogwarts?”.

“Yes of course, not sure if you know this but demons while some are creatures of hatred others like us the ones with purple are creatures of both so we can speak many languages but our best one is the language of love so we’ve been living in France the pass few years where Zack has been going to Beauxbatons but we figured you’d like to go to Hogwarts so we’ve decided on coming to Britain if you agree to live with us”,Richard said.

“Oh um I’m sorry for making you leave your friends Zack and I’m i-if it’s okay I’d like to live with you guys”, Hadrian said looking at the ground.

“Ah don’t worry not many people like demons so I didn’t have many and I’d much rather have another demon round my age to hang out with”, Zack said with a wave of his hand.

“Oh okay that’s good or ah no that’s bad about the friends bit but good you don’t mind”, Hadrian said stuttering.

“Don’t worry dear he knew what you meant so is there anything from your old house you need before going home”, Evelyn said kindly.

“N-no I don’t have much but Ill need to go shopping for clothes and such since all I normally get it hand-me-downs, also I’ve got my dad’s cloak and map in my pocket so I’m good”, Hadrian said like a puppy excited he can finally have a home.

“Oh Merlin I take it back you’re not a kitten you’re a puppy”, Zack said looking pointedly at Hadrian tail which was wagging not unlike an excitable puppy.

“I- oh how do I get it to stop”, Hadrian said embarrassed.

“Oh dear this really hasn’t happened for a while there’s nothing you can do to stop it just wait your really are like a puppy it’ll stop once your calm and don’t worry it is quite cute”, Evelyn said laughing softly.

“Oh for Merlin’s sake”, Hadrian grumbled till it stopped.

“Okay dear would you like to go shopping for clothes and we can shop for both yours and Zack’s school stuff in a later date”, Evelyn says.

“Oh yes please”, Hadrian said as they stood together to leave, they soon left not without saying goodbye to Griphook and heading to Madam Malkin’s to get Hadrian some clothes.

Once they got a full wardrobe they apperated home, once they all got home Hadrian’s tail started moving again which resulted in some laughs and a red-faced Hadrian. Once they got home Hadrian remembered something so turned to say “r-right so um when I was with my muggle relatives some Dementors came and attacked us so I used a Patronus charm to get rid of them and the Minister of Magic sent me a letter saying I was to be tried for underage magic and I was expelled from Hogwarts”.

“Ah don’t worry lad I’m a solicitor I can help but it’s simple just ask for a Veritaserum trial and just tell the story and we’ll all be there before the trial I’ll teach you the right things to say alright”, Richard said kindly.

“Okay, thank you”.

“When is their trial darling?”, Evelyn asked.

“The Monday on the last week of summer”.

“Okay so we have about 3 weeks were you boys can do anything you’d like and then on the last week we have the trial then Tuesday we should start shopping for school how does that sound?”, Richard asked.

“Sounds great dear”, Evelyn said as the boys nodded

During the 3 weeks before the trial Hadrian and Zack got on like a house on fire hanging out everyday till they got to the point where they called each other their bother, Evelyn, Richard and Hadrian also all got on and eventually he got to the point where he calls them auntie Ev and uncle Rich, they all have nicknames for him to like hades, puppy, pup and they all use various pet names like darling and little one apparently demons live for really long so compared to others I’m very young like 5 compared to a normal demon.

Chapter Text

The night before the trial Hadrian started think all about his time here how wonderful it’s been but after the trial everything would change everyone would know he’s a demon and according to my auntie, uncle and brother were not treated very well only the ones who know truly what demons are treat us well, I hope Nev and luna still like me after the trial where everyone will see me. But I’m not too nervous as uncle Rich taught me what to say when we get there we’ll also be getting there early to have a look around so I’m not as nervous. Hadrian thinks before drifting off to sleep.

Day of Trial

Hadrian woke up at 8:00am to his brother on top of him screaming in his ear “WAKE UP HADES TIME TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE”.

“I promise you I won’t me innocent of murder if you don’t shut up and get off”, Hadrian grumbles rubbing sleep away from his eyes which gets an

“awww is the little baby tired”, from Zack which makes Hadrian hit him with a pillow before getting up and saying.

“Imma go shower and get dressed see ya in a bit”, Hadrian said as he walked to his bathroom.

“Okay don’t like drown or anything I’d be terribly bored if you did”, Zack shouted back at him before leaving to have a shower of his own and get ready.

After Hadrian’s shower he gets dressed into a black dress shirt, black trousers, a black robe with green lining the sides for a pop of colour, the shoes he wears is combat boots and a fuckton of jewelry he found tons from his mum and dad in there vaults so he’s wearing his favourite such as gold mini hoop earrings (he got his ears pierced over the summer he’s got three piercings on each ear) his lord potter rings his Black heir ring and lots of other golden rings he found, he’s also got his mothers necklace on it’s a gold chain with a lily pendant.

After getting changed and ready Hadrian walked downstairs for breakfast where the house elves had made French toast with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and honey on the side to add.

As soon as his family hear him they turn and greet him telling him to sever up a plate and that they’re going at 9:30am so he has about 30 minutes to eat.

After Hadrian finishes they all stand up and walk to the floo before shouting “ministry of magic”.

As they walk in they get lots of stares from people walking by because as they don’t have their wings out as they can turn into magical tattoos on their backs their tails are out and their unusually coloured eyes attract attention and anyone who grew up hearing stories of demons would know exactly what they are, anyways they walk over to the front desk and uncle Rich says “hello we’re here for a trial we need to get through”.

The person operating the front desk squints her eyes at us distrustfully before turning huffing and saying “wands please”, we all pass our wands over to her and walk in as we’re walking a note comes out of nowhere heading straight at Hadrian, Hadrian catches it before it could hit him with his seeker reflex’s before looking at the note which reads.

Dear Harry Potter

The room and time of your trial has changed and you must come to trail room 3 at 9:45am if you fail to make it on time you will be found guilty and your wand will be snapped and your immediate exclusion from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

Sincerely, Dolores Umbridge

“Um guys I just got this note we have to be in trail room 3 in about 5 minutes or I’ll be found guilty”, Hadrian said stressed.

“Don’t worry I know this place like the back of my hand we’ll be there in no time puppy”, uncle Rich said before leading them to the trial room 3 in under 4 minutes.

As soon as they got there they had to separate Zack and auntie Ev had to go to the space reserved for them and Hadrian and Uncle Rich at to do to a different door that would lead them in front of the all the wizangamot.

Soon Hadrian stepped into the room he took note of everyone there and smiling briefly at auntie Evelyn and Zack which must of shocked the wizangamot as Hadrian only smile at people he knows well he doesn’t even smile at Granger and Weasley.

“Well met Wizangamot I am Lord Hadrian James Potter-Black, I’m here as I stand accused of under-aged magic for my solicitor I chose Richard John Potter”.

After Hadrian finished speaking everyone was looking at him with wide eyes and under the attention he blushed and looked down before saying, “and I requested a Veritaserum trial, I am now a legal adult as according to law 66 bi-law 5 anyone tried with the full wizangamot is a legal adult so I do not need consent from my magical guardian”.

“Y-yes of course M- Lord Potter just wait a moment”, Madam bones said before ordering a couple of Aurors to get the Veritaserum.

Once everyone had over come their shock and the Veritaserum arrived they placed three drops of it on Hadrian tongue and his eyes got cloudy before asking their questions.

“What is your full name?”

“Hadrian James Potter-Black”

“What is your date of birth?”

“31st of July 1980”

“Okay the Veritaserum is working we can get to the questions now”, said Madam Bones.

“Where were you August 2nd 1995?”

“I was in a muggle park”.

“What did you do in the muggle park”.

“Thought about last year and how angry I am at Dumbledore, Granger and Weasley”.

Gasps rang out throughout the room at the proclamation.

“Why is it you were mad at Dumbledore, Granger and Weasley?”

“Because Dumbledore is grooming me to die, Granger is using me for my fame and every time I get better scores then her on tests she turns into a bitch and Weasley is using me for my wealth”.

“How is this relevant?”, Richard asked firmly.

“I- you’re right Mr Potter, If we could get back on track please”, Madam bones said.

“Why did you use underage magic in the muggle park on August 2nd 1995?”

“Because I was being attacked by dementors”.

Gasps rang out again and one lady in lots of pink stood up and screamed “ LIAR THE DEMENTORS ARE UNDER MINISTRY CONTROL YOU DARE ACCUSE US”.

“I never said it was the Ministry madam and who might I ask are you?” Hadrian purred making multiple teenage girls in the spectator row blush.

“I am Dolores Umbridge Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic”.

“Ah I see anyways continue on with your questions”, Hadrian spoke.

“What spell did you use on August 2nd 1995?”

“The Patronus Charm”.

Gasp yet again before Dolores stood up “LIAR HES LYING JUST LIKE HE DID ABOUT HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED”.

“Are you daft woman? I’m on Veritaserum I quite literally can’t lie and whilst I’m here might as well clear something’s up about Voldemort as well I didn’t know what I saw I just saw someone kill one of my closest friends when Dumbledore takes me and interrogates me and then he fucks off saying Voldemort is back when did I say that?”.

After Hadrian finishes saying what he said everyone is whispering amongst themselves as they realise that yes Harry Potter the-boy-who-lived never did say anything about Voldemort.

“Um well I clearly think he’s innocent all in favour of cleared of all charges raise your wands”, Madam Bones says as all most everyone raises their wands.

“Aright I here by declare Hadrian James Potter-Black free of all charges”, Madam bones says before dismissing everyone, right as she does this none other than Dumbledore himself walks in upon seeing Hadrian he gasps in shock before saying “Harry, my boy, what have you don’t to your body, I can tell you now your parents wouldn’t like this”.

“Right so actually fuck off I didn’t do anything I’m a demon it was my creature inheritance also fuck you my dad quite literally was a demon and my mother had at least some demon in her about half so leave me alone I’ll be seeing you on the first of September no earlier good bye”, Hadrian says before storming out with Uncle Rich hot on his heels.

“I’m very proud of you puppy, not many people would be able to stand up to a man like that without any fear”, uncle Rich says as Hadrian turns to burry his head in uncle Rich’s chest before whispering a small “thank you”.

After the trial the Potters all meet outside the trial room once they’re all together they go do their back to school shopping once done with that they go back home where everything is peaceful till Wednesday when they get a floo call from one Professor Minerva McGonagall, as soon as her head pops up Hadrian rushes over as she started to speak saying “Hello Mr Potter, I’m here to inform you that due to and oversight you’ve been expelled but rest assured that I have fixed it but like your 2nd cousin Zack you will be treated as a transfer student so you will have to be re-sorted but don’t worry I’m sure you’ll be in Gryffindor it’s really just a technical thing”.

“I- um what happens if I’m not put in Gryffindor?”, Hadrian asks nervously

“Don’t worry we’re all quite sure you’ll end up back in Gryffindor but if you are not you will be treated as a transfer student as I said before so before the start of the feast we ask you and your cousin to wait in the side room till your both called out now if that’s all I will be leaving”, Professor Minerva McGonagall said and after seeing Hadrian nod she hung out.

“I- w-would you guys be mad if I’m not a Gryffindor?”, Hadrian asked his family.

“Okay not sweetie, we don’t think Zack going to the Gryffins so we don’t mind what house you’re in”, Auntie Ev said.

“E-even if I get into Slytherin?”, Hadrian asked in a small voice.

“Of course we don’t mind nether of us went to Hogwarts so we don’t care much for houses”, Uncle Rich replied happily.

“Oh okay good then because I think I’ll be in Slytherin honestly it’ll be better if I am means I’ll get away from Granger and Weasley”, Hadrian replied happily.

Chapter Text

eptember first, once again Hadrian woke up to Zack jumping on top of his bed shouting “WAKE UP PUP”.

“Shhhhhhh your voice is so loud”, Hadrian replied bearing his head in his pillow.

“Come on it the first day of school get upppp”, Zack sang and then snickered as Hadrian tried to hit him without looking up from his pillow.

“Ughhh fineee”, Hadrian said as he slowly walked to his bathroom.

“WHAT TIME IS IT”, Hadrian shouted to Zack as he got ready to shower.

“ITS 9:00AM RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO BE THERE FOR 10:30 SO WE CAN GET GOOD SEATS”, Zack replied as he heard the shower turn on and Hadrian Reply.

“OKAY”.

After leaving the shower Hadrian went to go get dressed what he wore was a thick woolly Jumper since it was getting colder, also wore black, baggy ripped jeans, he’d also painted his nails green because he got bored last night and then he put on his combat boots and the jewelry he was wearing at the Trial.

When he got down stairs he saw the elves made British pancakes with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, Suger and lemons, and chocolate spread on the side.

After saying good morning to all his family and sitting down to eat and talk since he was the slowest eater once he was finished he and his brother got they’re trunks not before saying good bye to his auntie and uncle and both boys promising to write at least once a week.

After good byes Zack went in first grabbed the floo powder before shouting “Kings Cross station platform 9 3/4” and bam he was gone, Hadrian followed right after.

They made it to the train at 10:34 so next to no one was there so they went to the very end of the train carriages and sat at the back just bickering before a knock was heard.

“No no if we make friends you absolutely cannot tell them the puppy thing”, Hadrian said firmly.

“Aww but it’s so cute my baby little bro-“, Zack was interrupted by a knock of the door then another so Zack stood up and opened the door saying “yes?”, Zack was blocking the door so Hadrian couldn’t see who it was but he recognised the voice that replied.

“Hi is it alright if we sit here all the other carriages are full”, Draco fucking malfoy said.

“Yeah whatever it just me and my brother here anyways”, Zack said before moving aside so Draco and his Friends could walk in only for Draco to stop upon seeing me and just staring awkwardly.

“Um hi”, Hadrian waved very awkwardly.

“Potter?” Draco said making both Hadrian and Zack said “yes?”.

“Wait what’s going on do you know each other or something?”, Zack said clueless.

“Yeah this is the dude I was drugged to hate”, Hadrian said as if it didn’t matter.

“Okay”, Zack replied at the same time as Draco shouting “WHAT??”.

“Oh yeah Dumbledore’s a bastard who put compulsions on a child, so you wanna start over?”, Hadrian said as he stood and put his hand out for a handshake.

“I- yeah okay, my Father told me about the trial so I kinda know but not really”, Draco says.

“Okay then come on sit I’ll introduce you to my brother”, Hadrian said.

Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Theo and Daphne all walked in and sat down on the benches with Hadrian sitting by the wall with Zack next to him Then Draco and Blaise then on the other side sat Theo in front of Hadrian and Pansy next to Theo and Daphne next the Pansy.

“Right so this is my brother Zack we’re both Demons just thought I’d let you know if you don’t like that you can leave”, Hadrian said wait to see if they’d leave.

“Yeah mate we were born into the wixan world we know the truth about demons and how they’re not all horrible so none of us are gonna leave”, said Blaise after a moment of nobody talking.

“Yeah, puppy everything’s fine calm down”, Zack said putting an arm around Hadrian.

“Yeah okay”, Hadrian said.

“Wait wait wait can we go back to you being called puppy what’s that about”, Pansy said.

“Oh Merlin it’s nothing-“ Hadrian turned to Zack squinting his eyes accusingly “you did that on purpose didn’t you?”.

“What? Me? Neverrr?”, Zack replied smirking.

“Okay so definitely wanna know what that’s about what we can talk about it later if you guys want to talk later that is”, Daphne says almost shyly. All the Slytherin turned to her looking surprised, “what they’re cool, now stop looking at me like that”.

After another hour of bickering making jokes bantering and just talking they’re finally 19 minutes away.

“Hey guys I think we need to get dressed”, Theo says making Hadrians tail wag just once but enough for his brother to notice.

“Okay”, replies most of the carriage, before everyone leaves to get changed.

After everyone changes and they all come back to the carriage, Draco notices how Hadrian doesn’t have the Gryffindor red on his uniform anymore.

“Hey Hadrian, why don’t you have your Gryffindor red robes on?”.

“Oh yeah I knew I was forgetting something, I’m getting re-sorted something happened a technical issue or something and they have to treat me like a transfer student”, Hadrian said.

Soon after then leave the train Hadrian and Zack told them how they had to wait in a side room to be called, but they’d see them at dinner after everyone said they’re goodbyes. Hadrian and Zack walked to the carriages into the great hall’s side room waiting for them to be called soon they heard Dumbledore’s speech.

“Hello all new and old I welcome you all into the great Institute of magic, I hope you all have a wonderful time here over the years you’ve spent here or will spend here before the feast begins I have many announcements, first and foremost I must warn you never to go into the forbidden forest as it is forbidden unless you would like to die grizzly death, also I’ve been informed by our caretaker flinch to tell you all to stop roaming around after curfew, I also have a surprise announcement we will be getting two transfer students when you already know, but he must be sorted due to a technical issue with magic the other one you do not know as of yet but I’m hoping you will make him feel very welcome. I would like to order from you that these two transfer students are demons do not fret. They will not hurt anyone and the Demons you have heard about are probably over exaggeration so please welcome back Harry Potter who will be going into his fifth year and his 2nd cousin Zack Potter who will be going into his sixth year”, Dumbledore announced right as the side doors opened and.

“IT HADRIAN NOT HARRY”, Hadrian yelled much to the amusement of his brother and a few Slytherin’s but the absolute shock to the rest of the great hall.

As Hadrian and his brother walked over you could hear Hadrian grumbling some students close enough could hear some words such as “old”, “crusty” and “bitch”.

After students got over the shock they watch Hadrian put the sorting hat on and it immediately shouting “SLYTHERIN”, in which Hadrian rolled his eyes at the hat and at how no one clapped except his small group of Slytherin friends, Luna and Neville and walked over to the group of people he talked to on the train, after Hadrian was done Zack put the hat on and much the same as his brother shouted “SLYTHERIN” which made Hadrian clap the loudest anyone’s ever heard him clap before, after Zack has sat down Dumbledore and gave a boring speech about safety and such before lifting his hands up and making all the food appear.

During dinner Hadrian and Zack only got a few glares before they all gave up and just started eating, laughing and talking about their summers with their friends, soon after Zack was talking to Pansy and Daphne about something silly that Hadrian didn’t care enough about to listen to so the turned to Draco who was on the other side and they started talking about quidditch and as Hadrian was getting excited talking with wide hand gestures about his favourite seeker play.

Zack tapped him on the back and said
“dude, first take a breath and also your shaking the table by your wagging”, he said gently.

“Oh right s-sorry, I was just taking about the Wronski Feint”, Hadrian apologise before getting excited again trying to talk about it with his brother.

“Oh Merlin I see it, I see why you call him puppy he is literally a giant puppy”, Theo said grinning at the blush Hadrian had at being called out again.

“You know I don’t know why everyone thinks I’m a puppy”, Hadrian huffed.

“Well, puppy it’s probably because you have that thing adhd so when you talk you talk really fast and excitedly, especially when you talk about something your passionate about and now you’ve got a tail it quite literally wags”, Zack said grinning.

“Shut upppp is already embarrassing as it”, Hadrian said putting his head in his hands as all his friends laugh.

“You know your all so mean when you laugh at me”, Hadrian huffed before Zack put an arm around Hadrian and started talking back to Pansy and Daphne, while Hadrian turned back to Draco to finish their conversation about quidditch, in which he only had to be told three more times to calm down and stop wagging till the end of dinner during which Theo was looking watching Hadrian not in a weird way mind you just observing how adorable Hadrian was.

After dinner Granger and Weasley tried to get Hadrian’s attention, but he just turned and walked away to the dungeons as he was absolutely knackered and ready for sleep, from that point on it was all a bit of a blur, going the his new common room snape making a speech about house unity or something and then Hadrian finding him dorm getting his pyjamas out dressing in them and falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Slytherin common room

After everyone left and it was just Theo and Pansy, Theo cast a silencing spell before Theo turned to Pansy and rushed out “ohmymerlinpansyithinkiminlovehesjustsocuteandhistailahhimdyinghelpwhatdoido”.

“Right so I got none of that so say it slower this time please”, Pansy said with a roll of her eyes.

“Right so I think I’m inlove with Hadrian I-“, Theo flopped onto the sofa “he- just ugh he’s just so kind and pretty and well I’ve always admired him from a far but it was nothing he was a Gryffindor nothing could of happened but well n-now he’s a Slytherin and he’s just- and his tail oh it’s- he’s just adorable and tall!!”, Theo said sighing dreamily.

“Okay well Zack’s okay with it also Hadrian likes you back Zack could tell by the way when you talked his tail would move so we spent most of dinner talking about you guys and I was telling you great don’t worry”, Pansy said smirking.

“W-wha- you did what?”, Theo answered blushing furiously.

“I mean yeah and now look we now know he likes you, you like him and you’re both perfect for each other”, Pansy said.

“I- so wait what should I do? L-like ask him out?”, Theo asked now pacing around.

“Exactly, see I knew you’d get there”, Pansy said smirking.

“O-okay yeah I’ll ask him out tomorrow bye I’ll see you tomorrow, Pans sleep well”, Thei said walking to his dorm to sleep thinking out how he should ask Hadrian out tomorrow.
