Harry Potter and the Secret Inheritance

Chapter 28

With the three older Bat brothers

Dick plugged the USB into his laptop and sat on his desk chair to listen. Tim was sitting on a small couch he had in his room and Jason was lying back on his bed, clearly bored.

Jason snorted at someone mistaking Superman for Bruce Wayne while Tim started thinking of ways to fix that problem. Dick was amused when thinking about what Bruce's reaction was.

Jason sat up in shock when hearing who Adriane's birth parents were, he shared a horrified look with Tim and Dick when hearing how someone was strong enough to destroy an entire planet so easily.

Tim whistled at how strong Adriane had the potential to become, "Damn, she's a little powerhouse isn't she?" Dick looked over to Jason who had been the one to speak and nodded in agreement.

Jason growled as they listened to how Adriane lost her adoptive parents while Dick listened sadly, he could understand what it felt like to lose your parents but poor Adriane lost two sets of parents while still only being a baby.

Tim winced when hearing how Adriane's aunt and Uncle treated her, Jason and Dick were a bit more focused on the old guy that seemed hell-bent on controlling Adriane's life. Going so far as to change her gender and name.

Jason snorted at Adriane's descriptions for each Hogwarts house. He had a feeling he might like this kid.

The three boys listened in horror at how their cousin, their untrained cousin, as a matter of fact, took on a full-grown mountain troll and won.

"What kind of school keeps a cerburus in one of it's class rooms!" Tim cried out when hearing of Adriane finding the three-headed dog in her school.

"Clearly one with an insane Princible!" Jason replied while fingering his gun.

"I think they call them Headmasters and Headmistresses over there." Dick corrected Jason numbly.

Jason just huffed in response. "You know what I meant."

"Shh we need to finish this recording." Tim walked over and rewinds the recording a little to replay what they had missed.

The Bat brothers listened in horror to the rest of Adriane's first year at Hogwarts. They all vowed that they would find a way to make the person who allowed this to happen to their cousin pay. Bats looked after their own after all.

Dick turned his laptop off when the recording was done and the three boys just sat in silence as they came to terms with what happened.

With Damien.

Damien eyed the USB in his hand with a frown. The last recording he listened to was very worrying, he hopped this one would be at least a bit better.

Plugging it in he leaned against the wall to listen.

Right away he was grumbling softly, what the hell was a house-elf and why was it trying to keep Adriane away from school? His eyes narrowed when he heard how her relatives had reacted to learning that she couldn't do magic outside of school. He wondered how they would like it if someone treated them the way they treated his cousin.

Damien raised an eyebrow when hearing that Adriane had flown in a flying car to get to school. He wondered what that would be like. Damien was curious about if he could get his dad to redo the batmobile so it could fly.

Damien frowned when hearing how yet another Halloween was ruined for Adriane. He hoped that she wouldn't be in the middle of a mess her teachers should be fixing this time.

His eyes furrowed when he heard of the rough bludger before snorting when she gagged Clark. He would have loved to see that.

Damien tossed a knife into a training dummies head with a growl when he heard why Adriane didn't like growling. Who could be so stupid as to let a dog almost tear a child's leg off? Why were social services ever called? Damien narrowed his eyes, he had a small suspicion that it was the fault of the old man.
