Hadrian's POV
Tom slowly walked to dad and put his wand in his hand, and walked back. Then Regulus, Sirius, Remus, James, and Lily did the same.

Fred and George helped me to the lounge so that we could sit and talk.

Kreacher had arranged for four couches and a wing chair beside one of the couches to be present before we had entered the lounge.

Fred and George helped me sit and sat down beside me. Dad sat on the wing chair beside our couch.

Remus and Sirius sat on one, James and Lily took the other, and Tom and Regulus took the remaining couch and sat. Tom and Regulus were sitting opposite us, while Sirius was to the right and James was to the left.

"Speak. How are you back from being dead? As far as I remember, Potter and Lily were killed by Tom. Regulus was turned into an inferi, Mutt fell into the veil, and Lupin died during the war." Dad said.

"We also don't know what happened. All of us opened our eyes to be told that we were in the Gringotts infirmary and had been asked to take an inheritance test." James said.

"Then, we found that there were numerous blocks on us, as well as obliviates." Lily said.

"Rantoul had then instructed us to go to you, Hadrian, so that you could explain." Tom said.

"So that is what we did. We thought you would be with the Weasleys since you were planning to marry Ginny after the war." Remus said.

"There, Percy said you would be in Grimmauld Place. So we came here." Sirius said.

"Even I don't know how you came back. I thought you were all dead till now." I said.

The room had started to turn dark. The temperature dropped. I thought it would have been his doing, and it was. Mortem appeared. "How is my surprise master?" He asked.

"It is nice that you brought back my father and adoptive parents, godparents, and uncle, but why?" I asked.

"So that they could also live the life they deserved. As you can see, Regulus, Sirius, Remus, James, and Lily are still in their youth. Tom is well, a little older than others, but still not past his youth. He deserves to be with his family. All of them do." Mortem said.

I nodded. "Thank you, Mortem." I said.

Dad was glaring at Tom all the while Mortem was explaining.

Mortem disappeared, and the room got back to its normal state.

"Please do not glare at me, Severus." Tom said in a pleading tone.

"When I asked you to listen to me when Hadrian was born, did you listen?" Dad asked.

"I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to explain." Tom pleaded.

Dad wanted to counter but decided to give him a chance. "Tell."

Tom gave dad a parchment.

"That is my inheritence test report. I have been manipulated my whole life, Severus. I want to be myself now and live with you and my son." Tom said.

"We are not letting you take Hades from us." My twins growled.

"He can't. Relax." I told them as I smiled despite the pain I was in.

"Why do you look like you are in pain, Harry?" Sirius asked.

"Did you not see the deity that appeared just now mutt? To become the Master of Death, my son has to go through hellish pain." Dad snarled.

"How did you become the Master of Death?" Tom asked.

"Why? To kill him and take the post?" Dad growled.

"No, Severus. He is my son. I would never do that. I just wanted to ask and know my son." Tom said.

"Yeah, the same son you have tried to kill all his life and have succeeded twice in doing so." Dad snapped.

Tom paled.

If he thought dad would let him become family easily, that would be the joke of the century. Dad is known for his grudges.

"I succeeded?" Tom asked. Dad, my twins, and I decided to ignore his question. He deserves a little bit of panic if I have to be honest and a lot more for what he did to dad, but that would be for dad to decide.

"Harry, pup, can you tell how you are the master of Death?" Sirius asked.

"He got the Invisibility Cloak from James."

"Then, the Resurrection Stone, which was in the Gaunt ring that Dumbledore had before he gave the stone to Hades."

"The Elder Wand, after he had disarmed Draco Malfoy who previously had disarmed Dumbledore."

"To become the Mater of Death, one needed to master all the Deathly Hallows. Hades mastered them before he was hit with the killing curse the second time." My twins answered.

"And you thought since I killed Dumbledore, I would be the master of the wand and commanded Nagini to kill me. It was luck that I had a bezoar with me, or I would be dead as well." Dad snarled at Tom.
