Severus' POV
Hadrian had finally drifted off to sleep. The twins were looking at him if he was really asleep or just acting for them. They were glad when they figured he was sleeping.

They cast a silencing charm on him so that he could not hear what they were going to say, but we could hear him.

"Did you know that when we were still in Hogwarts, Hades used to come to us if his wounds were hurting too much?" Fred said.

"He always took comfort in our company. He trusted us far more than he could trust anyone else." George finished.

"Can you tell me the extent of his wounds?" Tom asked.

"He has long scars on his back. The longest is as big as the one Draco has on his chest. We didn't know that until Hades told us, though."

"But, that was not the worst. He had his ribs broken, shoulders dislocated, and had fractures in his arms and legs when we rescued him from the Dursleys in his second year." The twins said.

"Are the Dursleys still there?" I asked. My magic was lashing out. How dare they hurt my son.

"We don't know. Only Hades does." The twins said.

"Did he ever tell anyone where they could be?" Tom asked.

"He could have told Fletcher just for the fun of seeing if he could steal anything from them." Fred said.

"Where does Fletcher live?" Tom asked.

"You are not going out of this house for the man. Hades has closed all apparition points into the house and out of the house. He also closed the floo. You are not getting out without his permission." The twins said.

"Wake him, and I'll kill you." I warned him. The twins were also glaring at him.

"Did you know that his pain tolerance is high?" I asked the twins.

They nodded with a sad smile. "Do you remember, in his second year, when Lockhart vanished his bone, because a stray bludger hit him when he was trying to catch the snitch?" They asked me. I nodded.

"He didn't give a sign of pain when the bone broke, nor when he was given the Skelegrow potion." They said.

I do have experience with broken bones, and regrowing them hurts. He was just twelve back then.

"Is that the reason he said that pain was an old friend after the purge?" I asked.

"Hades says that dialogue a lot. He said the same dialogue when he got bitten by the basilisk, and every time, we asked if he was hurt." The twins said after they nodded.

"Do you think I could get him to tell me the location of the Dursleys?" I asked.

"Maybe." They said. Though they had an unholy glint in their eyes.

"I will come along with you if you can get the address out of Hadrian." Tom said.

"We will come as well." Fred said.

"Hades will also come." George said.

"We will have him there so that we don't go overboard. He is an auror, he know what would be a crime and what is not." They said.

"What if he tries to stop us?" Tom asked.

"No. Hades has more Slytherin traits. He remained silent all these years since he was collecting all the evidence to execute them or at least have them in prison in the muggle world. He wouldn't mind if a little pain is added to their suffering from his family." They said.

How did I not notice him being hurt? How was I so careless when I went through the same during my childhood?

"Do not overthink it, sir. You didn't notice because of the potions in you." Fred said.

"Hades made sure that no one knew about his abuse other than Ron, Hermione, Ginerva, Neville, Luna, and us. Even we had to force it out of him with veritaserum." George said.

"He was so mad that he didn't speak with any of us for a week." They said together with a smile, surely recalling Hadrian's face when it happened.

"Let's sleep now. We have a family to hunt tomorrow." Tom said.

All of us nodded.

Fred and George hugged Hadrian and lay down by his side.

Tom and I walked to my room.
