Beautifully Bonded

Chapter 4: Platform and Sorting

Hadrian relaxed on his bed, he's currently on Grimmauld's Place practising and reading different branches of magic. The wards on his father's home might be powerful and can block the Ministry's trace, he still used his spare wand for safety purposes. It's almost been a month since he received his letter, and a week after he gave them his letter of acceptance, he received a very pleasing letter from the Headmaster. Note the sarcasm please.

It's been a week since Hadrian gave them his letter of acceptance and he's quite relaxed, he's not that nervous about the Headmaster's response. If he takes note of his Heirship and surname then Hadrian can confirm that the said man will not be trustworthy. I mean, who would have a conversation about his own blood and title? Even if he is the Headmaster, he does not have any strong hold on him.

But then, an owl flew on his open window while he's thinking about the Headmaster. Wait. that sounds wrong, nevermind.

Hadrian opened the letter when he saw the Hogwarts crest. Hadrian checked for compulsion spells and found none, so he's not that eager huh? Hadrian opened the letter and read it.

Dear Harrison James Potter-Black,

We have received your letter and we are relieved and happy to know you'll be attending Hogwarts, your name has been written and we do wish you enjoy your future years in our school.

Yours truly,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

Hadrian chuckled, that explains why there's no compulsion and such on the letter. It came from the Deputy. Hadrian folded the letter and put it on his side table. He searched for Caesar and found him outside. The black owl really liked being outside, when he looked on the couch--the one he made his aunt buy him--he found his snake familiar sleeping peacefully. Hadrian sighed and picked one of his unfinished books, after a week of reading and visiting his owned properties, he already read every book he owned about Wizarding politics and etiquette. Now, he is reading dark books from the Black's library that are supposed to be illegal.

I mean, no things are Illegal if no one knows you use them.

When he was about to lay on his bed and read peacefully, a whitish gray owl entered his bedroom. Hadrian walked and stopped in front of the owl. He saw a letter that has the Hogwarts crest. Maybe Dumbles? Hadrian picked up the letter and offered the owl some treats. After the owl ate the treat, it retreated and flew. Hadrian checked the letter and felt the compulsions and loyalty charms on the letter.

Definitely Dumbledore's, Hadrian thought.

Hadrian opened the letter with his complete trust that his rings will protect him from the spell. He felt the rings absorbed the spell before it hit him, he then read the letter.

Dear Harry Potter,

Hadrian grimaced, even his Deputy called him with his proper name. Hadrian shook his head, seems like someone's testing his patience huh?

Imagine my surprise when Minerva told me that she already has your acceptance letter? Here I thought that I would need to have my most trusted go to yours. How are you doing my boy? Have you already known about your parents and ancestors? I know some spells that can reveal your ancestors, though reading your letter I conclude that you already went on Gringotts. Though I wonder, how are you the Black's Heir? The Lord of your house is currently in Azkaban, the prison for bad wizards, because he betrayed your parents. Just come to my office if you have any questions, my door will always be open for you.
