The Boy Who Was Forgotten

Part 8

30th of July 1991
Somewhere in Imbetween

The four founders of Hogwarts, Merlin, Morgana and Arthur sat around a table. Sounds like the start to a bad joke, but that was what one Hadrian Sirius Severus Remus Potter walked into on the evening of the 30th of July. Cinis walked in behind them and the laughter died from the two boys faces at the seriousness that filled the room.

"Young ones, come here." Merlin said softly "As you know, it is your birthday tomorrow Hadrian, and therefore Cinis's birthday too. You will be turning 11, meaning that it is finally time for you to return to your own timeline and cause havoc." At this everyone smirked knowing that together Cinis and Hadrian could bring the mortal world to their knees. "So today we present our final gifts to you Hadrian." Helga stepped forwards and presented him with a vial and a box, inside the box was a cup and a necklace with a key.
"That, my dear, is a key to the Hufflepuff Room of Requirement and the cup has magic that you will have to discover on your own. This vial is a blood adoption potion that will make you my true heir." Rowena stepped forward next, handing Hadrian a book shaped package with a velvet box on top. Opening the box fist he saw a circlet made of finest silver, inlaid with pure sapphires it glimmered in the torch light and seemed to send out waves of wisdom. Setting it next to the cup from Helga he tore the paper off the book shaped package. To the surprise of no one the package indeed contained a book. It was leather bound with gold filigree leaves covering the cover. It was beautiful, but when Hadrian opened the book all the pages inside were blank.

"That book will let you contact us. We all have a book similar to that here in Imbetween, when you write in that book ours will vibrate and we will then be able to see your message." Rowena then took the vial from Hadrian's pile and pricked her finger, letting a trickle of her blood flow into the vial. Placing it back onto the pile with the other gifts.
"That will make you my heir as well as Helga's, please find my familiar- a larger than normal dark blue eagle- and take care of her. Also you will have control of the library, make sure to continue to add books so that others may learn." Hadrian nodded and thanked Ro for her gift, promising to find her eagle.

Godric held out a package that was badly wrapped and obviously held a blade. Godric also added his blood to the vial and made Hadrian the heir of Gryffindor.
"So Cub. Take your present!" Hadrian took the obvious blade and tore through the bad wrapping paper. Inside was surprisingly a set of three blades! Wow. They were made of a slightly pearly looking metal that Hadrian immediately recognised as goblin steel. The blades were definitely his signature weapon, a Khopesh, and about 23" each. They each had a different pommel design, one was a roaring lion intertwined with a hissing snake, the second was a badger curled around an eagle and the third was the deathly hallows symbol. These would have cost an arm and a leg to buy from the goblins, that is unless you were a goblin friend and could speak their native tongue, that usually got you a discount. Hugging Godric as thanks, Hadrian placed the blades carefully next to his small pile of gifts, mentally reminding himself that he should get some sheathes for them so they would not get damaged.
"Please find make sure that the Gryffindors of your time uphold my values and make them know that you are my heir. If they aren't who I would be proud off, teach them a lesson." Hadrian nodded knowing that there would probably be some people who would argue about him being the heir.

Sal then presented him with a set of throwing knives, goblin made, and a bow with a set of arrows, all goblin made. And finally a large tome with papers hanging out, and bookmarks stuck everywhere. Sal also added his blood to the vial before he explained his gifts.
"The weapons are self-explanatory Snakelet. That book is all our potion notes combined, anything we did together will be mentioned in that book. That should help you when you want to do your potion mastery. Now there is a slight issue with you becoming my heir, you will of course become the main inline for the title but there is another out there who can lay claim to the line, one Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort. He is descended from the Gaunt family, who are descended from Cadmus Peverell who was one of my descendants. Meaning that his tie to my house isn't as direct as yours but he may kick up a fuss about handing over lordship. If this occurs use the book to contact me and I will help you deal with it. That is all I think Hadrian... Oh! I almost forgot! Try to find my basilisk, Acies, she lives in the chamber of secrets. Make sure she gets fed and gets exercise. Good luck in your time snakelet!"
