I watched as Griphook took out six small ring boxes.

"These are the heir rings; all you need to do is put them on and they will judge you if are worthy or not." Griphook explained, "but when you turn fifteen come back again to get the lord rings, you would've taken them right now, but currently you have little to no information of our culture, I'm sure Perseus will tell you."

I watched as Griphook pushed the Potter and Black rings first, Hadrian took them putting them on, both rings glowed before resizing and merged, he then put on the Peverell and Gryffindor rings which did the same thing.

"Unfortunately, we do not have the lord Gaunt ring so for now you will be wearing the heir ring, and the first in line is still alive."

Hadrian nodded putting that last pair of rings, and without anyone's surprise they did the same thing as the previous rings, what I didn't see coming was that they all merged creating a single ring with the coat of arms of the deathly hollows, making me snort back a laugh, I'm sure Killian will poke fun of his father, since it seems the fates are not on his side.

"You can use your rings to pay for any belongings that you will get, but" he paused taking out a pouch from his desk, "this is a self-filling pouch if you ever need galleons on hand, you can use this."

He muttered in Gobbledegook, nodding to himself.

"It seems much time has passed, you may leave now you can come by at any time, this is a farewell for now."

We left the bank and going to less crowded space.

"Have you had breakfast," I asked Hadrian, he shook his head, "there's a place nearby we should go eat."

"But I don't deserve it," Hadrian said quietly, I stopped walking to kneel in front of.

"Anything that the Dursleys taught is wrong, they as adults have wronged you in so many ways, that one cannot explain in one moment, right now you are not with them you are just Hadrian a boy who is an orphan due to a war taking your parents away, -" "they didn't die in a drunken car crash," I took in a harsh breath, "-no they did not they were killed by Voldemort, he tried to take over the British wizarding world, and that didn't end well for him, since your parents killed him, but everyone believes you did."

"You are known here as the-boy-who-lived the one who killed Voldemort, but not all believe he is gone so ignore those who want you to do any heroic things it won't get you anywhere good." I said sternly, also reminding myself to sue anyone who publishes books about Hadrian.

I stood up as he asked, "but why was I with them in the first place, surely someone here could've taken me in," as we continued to walk.

"Ah, that is the headmaster's fault, he is the reason that everything has happened so far, I am just glad that he never gazed over me." I said the last part quietly, nearing the small café on the edge of Diagon Alley, not many people know of this small place since is owned by one of the older demigods.

Entering the place, it was a cosy cottage core café with purple added tones, in the back there was a cosy library corner for those that need to study in peace and quiet, and as a bonus it has Wi-Fi.

"Want to know a secret?" I said with a smile, to Hadrian who looked at me nodding shyly, still not used to being treated like this, "whilst this place has the best food, they have also-"

"Perseus, it's so good to see you again, it was like only yesterday where your parents and you came into to my little café," a warm loud voice interrupted me.

"Ronna, it's good to see you too," I greeted her, "meet Hadrian, he's a bit shy and still not used to new people," I said, introducing him to the African American woman, who didn't even look a day old over forty.

"I'm not shy," Hadrian protested, "I'm just quiet," he said lifting his head up high, I hid my smile from him as I turned to Ronna.

"I'm sure you are darlin'," Ronna said smiling to him, "we wouldn't have any way would we, after all who choose a meal just for you when I don't even know what you like or want to try, after all this is the wizarding world and I have the best meals all around," handing the meal menus to us, and I led us in the back that covered the whole room.

Since it was still morning Ronna also gave us the breakfast menu, and since I knew what I would be having, I waited for Hadrian to choose what he would like, whilst at it I also chose something for Killian when we return.

Once we chose, I went to the front, to order, after making sure Hadrian was alright with me leaving him alone for a bit even though there were only a few people here having breakfast or brunch.

Whilst that was happening, a certain giant was having a different conversation.

"What do you mean the Potter boy was not with the Dursley's," Dumbledore said calmly glaring at Hagrid who stood across from the old man.

"Well, when I went to get 'Arry, they Dursley's said he already left with a wizard to get what he needs for Hogwarts."

"Did they say who it was and how they looked like and will they come back."

"No, they slammed the door in my face, ignoring me when I knocked again." Hagrid explained with sweat running down his face, "and when I tried again to knock, I was moved to my hut."

Dumbledore grunted, moving to the window stroking his beard.

"You can leave and tell absolutely no one about it."

When Hagrid left the office, Dumbledore's magic exploded destroying nearly everything in the room, especially the trinkets to do with Potter.

What Dumbledore didn't know his magic alone couldn't do that, but what he won't know won't hurt him.

I lead Hadrian into Knockturn alley to get his wand after we got everything but a pet, one would think I would've led him to Ollivander's, but he makes premade wands which are not fully bonded to a young wixen.

Entering the familiar store, with multiple shelves with different types of cores, clearly one of each since everything else is kept in the back.

"Welcome back Perseus," A smooth voice from the corner spoke, "do you still have your wand or is it broken into little pieces?"

I laughed, "it's still alive to this day can't have your hard work go to waste can I now Elvira?" pushing Hadrian to front desk clear of everything, "today I'm here for this little fella's wand, -" "I'm not little." "-and he will definitely need are wand made by you."

"Hello little Hadrian," said a woman in a green toga coming out of the back room with many little boxes, putting half on a side table and the other in front of Hadrian.

"These are different types of cores for your future, they have all been taken without harming the creatures or the surrounding area, since we have our own little business in the back," Elvira began saying, "they are covered with a cloth as to not disrupt the magic between you and items in the box, since many before chose what was in the box instead of what their magic wanted, but that was many moons ago, shall we start."

Hadrian nodded and began to reach out with his magic as Elvira guided him through the process, I stood further away as to not get in the way, I wondered if Lou would try to get a job in Hogwarts once she finds out I'm here or in town.

"We are done here, your wand will be done in an hour, so come back then."

"How much will it cost?" Hadrian asked.

"That will be nine galleons."

Hadrian handed over the money, skipping slightly to me, making me smile.

"We have one more place to go."

"Where?"

"A companion for life for you."

I said as we left the store.
