Rise of Hadrian D. Pendragon (Book 1)

Three Weeks

"How dare he demand things from me!" Daphne snarled out in rage stalking her way towards the forbidden forest. "Ugh!" She huffed in frustration. Stopping next to a tree she kept growling and pacing in front of it. Swinging around with her hand out she slapped the trunk with her palm. "Damn that man! Boy!" She huffed. "Ugh!" She stopped short when she heard a branch snapping. Spinning around swiftly she came face to face with a fellow Slytherin classmate. His slender frame with sleek white-blond hair and pale complexion gave him away.

"Trouble in paradise my sweet?" Cold gray eyes were staring at her with a lecherous grin upon his features. He moved quickly and silently crowding her space. Reaching forward he managed to place his index and forefinger upon her cheek gently sliding them down he tilted her chin upwards, "Sweetheart, if you were mine from the beginning I wouldn't be making you this angry. Why don't you just dump the waste of space and be mine already?" He leaned forward and trapped her against the trunk of the tree with his other arm outstretched to hold his weight.

"For the last time Malfoy, I will never be yours." Daphne snarled out in outrage. She was an unmated soulmate who's soulmate was a guard of their king. She wouldn't become some hussy, it didn't matter how angry she got at Neville.

"Come now babe. You will be mine, mark my words. Why not just start now?" Draco pressed. He sidled a little closer and moved his hand to rub it down her arm. "You know you'll be a lot happier." His gaze lowered, taking in her growing body before going back to her face.

"Release me this instant Malfoy." Daphne snarled a clawed hand close to his family jewels. "Or would you rather Madam Pomfrey have you in the hospital wing trying to repair something you'll never have function in again?" She gave him a primal malicious grin to end the statement.

"You better watch your mouth, Greengrass. Pretty soon you'll be mine. Mine to do with what I please. Mine." Draco snarled out while taking a hasty retreat.

Smirking victoriously she waved as he left her alone. However now that she's calmed down enough she glanced back over to the bracelet Potter sent her. Her parents knew what this meant and she's obligated to keep it on, but should I have told Neville about this piece when I first received it? What's so special about it anyways? Frowning, she contemplated the pros and cons to telling her very own soulmate about the bracelet in full.

"You should have told Neville about the bracelet his majesty sent you." Blaise told the stubborn girl finally. "He would have appreciated the simple fact that you were approved of any and all secrets between them." sighing he glanced away towards the lake watching as the giant squid reached several tentacles out of the lake towards the sun. "They have secrets you know." He turned to look at the girl who was now hanging onto each and every word as he spoke. "Their secrets are vital and seem to be about something from out there you know?" Frowning in thought he wasn't sure if he should mention the next part or not.

"I know." Daphne spoke out silently. Which startled Blaise greatly, "I overheard them talking one day. Hadrian has spoken about how he's come back to the past to correct the future. I'm not wholly sure what all that means. What I do know is that Neville has come back with him."

"Is that even possible?" Blaise questioned startled beyond belief.

"It's possible alright." One voice spoke up.

"After all, we were told about the Master long before we saw him." his counterpart continued.

"So who told the two of you?" Blaise questioned thoughtfully glancing towards the sky lost in thought.

"Our dear friend and neighbor." One twin started.

"The lovely Miss Lovegood." The other finished for him.
