Hadrian Romanoff and the Beginning

Chapter-13

"-and then she fire called Nev's Gran and started telling her how irresponsible it was of her to force Nev to use someone else's wand! She was waving the wand around and starting saying something else, but she went full Scottish Brogue so I didn't catch it, but it got Madam Longbottom to agree to let Nev a new wand of his own. McGonagall says that she'll take him to Diagon Alley on a weekend so he won't miss any classes. Terry tried to get himself invited along so he could stop by Flourish and Blotts."

"Seems like you're having quite a time there, Hadrian." Remus smiled.

Hadrian grinned widely. "Yeah. Auntie Pepper said she was sending my course work next week so I'll have to work that into everything but there are a lot of free periods here."

"Are you going to share your textbooks with your new friends? I recall you saying Lisa and Terry telling you to take them with you if you came back." Remus said.

"Yeah. I asked them a few days ago if they still wanted to take the classes I did and Neville is getting dragged along for the ride." Hadrian nodded. "Terry's good at study planning so maybe I can ask him to draw up a time table so none of us get behind on the schoolwork here. It shouldn't be too hard though, like I said we have a lot of free periods. The only probably will be that they'll need a crash course to get up to the same grade I am."

"I assume Pepper has already thought of that and is sending the necessary items as well?" Hadrian nodded. "Well that's good. Oh! Tony wanted me to ask you if you were planning on continuing your music lessons."

Hadrian took a moment to think. "Yeah. I want to keep up with guitar and violin. Between doing the work for two schools, working out, and those two I should be able to keep busy."

Remus nodded. "Might I suggest you find an abandoned classroom for all this? You could clean it up yourself or ask a house elf and work on your course work and music lessons there so you won't be bothered. You could probably do some of your exercises in there, too."

"Hey, you think I could get away with riding a bike everywhere?"

"I doubt it's expressly against the rules, though a few of the professors might take issue with it." Remus tried to sound stern, but came up short thanks to the smile threatening to break out.

Hadrian shrugged. "We can go through my copy of the charter again and check out the list of banned items."

"Be careful, or that Granger girl might tell on you again." The werewolf teased.

"Ugh, don't remind me." Hadrian groaned. He still didn't understand what the girl's problem was. "Normally I would try to get her back, but nothing bad came out of it and Neville's getting his wand sooner than we thought so..."

Remus laughed outright at his godson's annoyance. "Well, I'm glad you're not out for needless revenge. Glad to see you learned something from the Marauder Age." He said with a hint of regret in his voice.

"But no promises if she tries to get us in trouble again for no reason." Hadrian warned.

The older man arched his eyebrow. "And if there is a reason?"

"Then we were stupid enough to get caught and deserve the punishment." Hadrian shrugged, unrepetant.

Suddenly Remus was pushed out of frame and Clint's face appeared, an excited look on his handsome face.

"Hey, Bright Eyes, you'll never believe what happened."

Hadrian rolled his eyes. He couldn't count how many times someone said that in the Avengers tower. "What? Did the Big Guy turn purple? 'Cause if he did, I reserve the right to call him Jellybean."
