Hadrian Black

Chapter 8

The news spread like wildfire. The court had realized that Hogwarts was under a fourth year but he didn't want the position and he asked them if Dumbledore could come back on the position of headmaster. They were shook but Hadrian told them a reason, he wanted to make him suffer like he made Tom and him suffer. He would take his power slowly and leave him equal to nothing. They were reluctant at first but agreed since they wanted to see his ass whopped.

On the other hand, Dumbledore was filled with joy. But what he didn't realize was that this was just a trap he was entering in, a trap to make him pay for everything he has ever done to those who he has wronged. He restored his office but it was a but gloomier now. He didn't mind that and started with the things they had planned for that year. It was the Tri-wizard tournament this year. 

Hadrian knew that Dumbledore knew he was the boy-who-lived and will try to put both his and Charlus' name, so at the end Charlus' or him would die (mostly him) so the other will be praised as the saviour of the world. 

Hadrian was walking down the corridor with Salazar's Slytherins following him. They entered the common room and everyone bowed to them. "Hmm...rise. I have something important to discuss," Hadrian said. He walked up to his throne and Daphne sat on his lap. "Tonight is the choice of the champions. It's no doubt we all know what Dumbledore's planning. S-" Hadrian was cut off by a childish sneeze coming from behind the door. 

Draco opened it and came in a small first year. Daphne said in a sisterly tone as if it was her own brother, "Hello little one, what are you doing here?" He was a bit scared but he replied, "I was told to listen on you by the headmaster," It was clear the boy had no intention of doing so, but being a first year he was threatened by Dumbledore. Hadrian called him towards him. Daphne got up from his lap and he bent to the small Slytherin boy's height and said "Don't feel threatened by him. You did the right thing being honest to us. Tell him that we were talking about some rules, ok?" 

Hadrian still saw him scared, so he let out his magic which seemed to comfort him. Cold, soothing and calm. The boy visibly relaxed and fell immediately to sleep. Hadrian asked Raven to put him to his bed and leave him there. "So, as I was saying...."

Everyone was now situated in the great hall. Names were soon to be announced. First name erupted soon and Dumbledore announced, "From Drumstrang we have Victor Krum." Everyone clapped loudly while Slytherin gave a small clap. "From Beauxbatons we have Fleur Delacour," this time soft claps were heard. "From Hogwarts we have Hadrian Black," Hogwarts erupted in the most loudest claps and cheers. They knew after feeling his magic the cup would choose him if he put his name in there or not. Tho, Dumbledore was not as happy as others. They all turned to fire, it wasn't out as it was supposed to be, another name came and you can guess it, "Charlus Potter!"
