(So in my story Dumbledore won't be the best,but I will not be making Voldemort nice like in other Dumbledore slander fics. Both sides will have flaws. And in the beginning Ron will seem like a git, but he'll come to his senses I promise. This chapter is also about Hadrian's years with Crowley and Aziraphale before Hogwarts)
That night after Hadrian is put to bed Crowley and Aziraphale each sip on a glass of wine as they discuss the days events.
"I don't trust this Albus person.How could he just leave poor Hadrian to fend for himself."
"I completely agree Angel."
"I also want to find out more about his godparents he has a right to meet them."
"Well when we were leaving Griphook was able to slip some papers with their information on it." Crowley says before he downs the rest of his wine and pulls out a small pack of papers.Aziraphale sets his glass down and pulls the papers towards him as he slips on his reading glasses.He reads over it as Crowley goes to pour himself another glass. He goes to walk back to where Aziraphale is but stops when he hears a soft whimper. He turns and heads to where Hadrian is. As he gets closer he hears another soft whimper and when he gets sight of Hadrian he takes notice of the tears.
'He must be having a nightmare' He thinks and quickly sets the wine glass and crouches next to Hadrian.
"Hadrian. Wake up its only a nightmare." He gently shakes the child awake. Hadrian opens his eyes and frantically looks around before he realizes Crowley is above him.
"C-Crowley"
"Its okay snakeling it was just a nightmare." Crowley awkwardly pats the child's back.
'Maybe I should go get Aziraphale he's better with this type of stuff.' Crowley thinks to himself as he pulls his hand away and goes to get up. Before he can fully get up he is knocked to the grown and Hadrian clinging to him.
"N-No don't go." Hadrian cries. Crowley sits there in shock before he brings his arms up and wraps them around the trembling form.
"I'm not going anywhere Hadrian its okay." As he comforts Hadrian the trembling lessens and he stops crying." Now would you like to tell me about your nightmare. Or do you want to go to Zira and you tell both of us."
"Both of you please." Crowley nods and gets up with Hadrian in his arms taking note of how light the child is. He walks back to where Aziraphale is, and Aziraphale looks up from the papers. He sets them down when he notices Hadrian in Crowley's arms.
"Why is he up Crowley. Is he okay."
"Yes Angel.He just had a nightmare and felt more comfortable telling both of us what it was about."
"Ahh okay would you like some hot cocoa Hadrian." He smiles when he hears a small 'yes please'.
"I'll be right back with it." He heads to his kitchen to start the cocoa while Hadrian and Crowley stay in their spot. Hadrian stays curled up in Crowley's lap. A few moments later Aziraphale comes back with two cups of hot cocoa.
"Here you go dear, be very careful its hot." Hadrian sits up better in Crowley's lap and takes the cup from Aziraphale. He blows on it and takes a small sip.
"Now what happened in your nightmare.""It was when Mum and Dad w-were attacked."
"How do you remember that Hadrian you were only one year old."
"I-I don't know it just appears in my dreams. In my dream dad told mum to take me upstairs because an evil man was there.Mum took me upstairs and when she gets me in my bed I hear a loud crash where dad was. And then Mum turns and tells me how much she loved me and how much dad loved me. T-then there was a green light and Mum wasn't m-moving anymore." After he finishes he bursts into tears. Aziraphale takes the cup of cocoa from Hadrian as him and Crowley sand which him between them. They continue to comfort him until he falls back asleep clutching onto Crowley's jacket.
These first few weeks have shown Aziraphale and Crowley exactly what they need to do. They were going to make sure that nothing happened to Hadrian and if someone tried to.
Well Crowley would bring hell to earth.and thats what happened a year later when Hadrian was taken.
