Hadrian's POV
An hour and a half later, we heard apparition sounds from the shop entrance. Neville and Luna walked into the hall, looking ready to kill.

Their expression itself told us that there were blocks and potions on them.

Neville and Luna gave their inheritance test reports to me. Fred and George read them with me.

The more we read, the more infuriating it was.

"Fred, contact Amelia. Tell her that I am going to raid the old fool after I get dad." And walked out of the shop and apparated outside dad's shop. I walked in and called for him.

He came out grumbling, but when he saw me, he asked, "What happened, Hadrian?"

"I'm going to raid the coot. Wanna come along?" I asked.

"Wait a minute." Dad said as he went inside and came out. "Packed healing potions and veritaserum and its antidote. We might need them."

I nodded and held my hand out for him. When he held my hand with a smile, I silently apparated us to Lily and James' grave. Godric's Hollow was near the grave, and I wanted to give them some time to arrive. I would no longer be reckless like the fool wants me to.

We slowly walked to the house. When we reached there, Fred and George were ready, and so was Amelia and a few aurors she brought along. Arthur and Percy had decided to come as well.

"Shall we start?" I asked.

When the others nodded, I put up an anti-apparition ward around the house and then started to break Dumbledore's wards.

"Good idea, Harry." Amelia said.

When the last ward was going to be broken, I said, "Wands at the ready." Everyone pulled their wands out as I broke the last ward.

Dumbledore had shot out from the door and casted the killing curse.

I was at the forefront, so I was hit by the curse. The place it hit me was stinging, as if I had gotten hit by the stinging hex rather than the killing curse.

Dad, Fred, George, Neville, and Luna had cast a disarming charm on him, which disarmed the coot.

Amelia, the aurors, Arthur, and Percy cast body binding and silencing charms on the coot.

I walked to him and said, "Even if you cast the killing curse at me, I won't die, but it will and has earned you a one-way ticket to Azkaban." And walked inside. But when I heard dad's voice, I walked back till the door.

"Nice plan. You tried to let the guilt eat me away, and it was, until I got Harry's patronus, requesting a meeting in the afternoon. We discovered a lot of things, Albus, which we will explain tomorrow, during your trial, along with four of your pawns who had been stealing from Harry."

And walked inside to stand with me so that we could listen to anyone if they spoke with him.

My twins had decided to speak next. "Do not ever plan to deceive our Hades. You will regret living." And walked inside.

Arthur just walked past him with Percy while Amelia instructed the aurors to guard him and not let him escape.

We searched all around the house but didn't find the Prewett twins. I could feel extra magical signatures, but I could not pinpoint from where I was sensing them.

"Fred, George, tap into your magic and find from where I am sensing the Prewett magic." Arthur said.

My twins nodded.

After a few moments, they bolted towards the basement. They stopped at one location. It was directly above the center of the basement.

"Are you sensing their magic here?" I asked.

When they nodded, I cast a detection charm around the area. The place we were standing was filled with traps, one wrong move, all of us would be goners, maybe not my twins and me, but the others would be.

My twins got to dismantling the trap sequence and, after a few minutes, had destroyed it successfully.

We found a knob and pulled it slowly. When nothing happened, we pulled it completely and saw another basement below this one.

I jumped in first, followed by Fred and then George. The rest stayed above.

When I cast lumos, we could see prison cells. We began to search for the twins. Fred and George kept walking deeper into the basement.

When we reached the last three cells, they went to one at the left and opened it.

I could hear low whimpers from inside.

Fred and George had helped two identical looking people and walked to me. I could figure out that they were the Prewett twins. They looked pale and weak but had some resemblance to Molly and Muriel.

We walked back to the entrance of this basement, helped the Prewett twins climb up, and then climbed up ourselves.
