What a difference

More Revelations

Hadrians POV

Mia and I wandered into the house with Hedwig in search of our friends. We found them in a sitting room quietly chatting. As we walked in The Twins and Neville launched them selves at me. Once our group hug was over I noticed Nev looking shy. I took in the rest of the room making a note to speak with Neville alone. I then noticed Luna stood off to the side petting very happy looking Hedwig and saw Zabini, Nott and Malfoy hovering in the corner. He smiled and stepped to Luna, "My sweet Luna bell how am I not surprised you are here. I hope you have been well!" She wrapped her arms around me. "Hades I am well the wakspurts told me to find you here and as I said there are things I must speak with you and your mates about but first let's spend some time here they are not quite ready for us!"

Hades then stepped over to Zabini and put his hand out. "Hadrian Lupin-Black it's nice to meet you"  Zabini stared at his hand for a moment then stuck his out and took Hadrians to shake "Blaise Greyback-Zabini nice to officially meet you!" "It seems we share a sister you had better watch out for her and protect her with your life she means everything to me" at this Zabini threw his head back and laughed "She has been missing from my life for far to long I just got her back and I will stop at nothing to ensure it stays that way." They shared a smile and then Hades turned to Malfoy and Nott. Before he could speak Mia stepped up. Little brother I would like to introduce you to my mates Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott, gentlemen this is my unofficial little brother Hadrian Lupin-Black. Also I hope you know I can handle my self giving a pointed look at all the boys.

Both Malfoy and Nott looked nervous. Nott took my hand. "Please call me Theo. I would also like to officially apologize for all of the past 5 years. My actions are unexcusable and I hope you will give me a chance to make it up to you. I also want you to know Mia means very much to me. I love her with all that I am and although she can definitely handle her self I will ensure she is cared for and safe" "Theo it is a pleasure to officially meet you. I belive it goes without saying but you hurt her you hurt me and while I will do unspeakable things to you, my very powerful mates will do even worse." I smiled and turned to Malfoy.

We stared at each other for a moment both reliving our history. I then stepped forward and instead of shaking hands he put his arms out and we hugged. Everyone was shocked. We both sobbed into each other shoulders for a moment then straightened up and shook hands. Malfoy spoke first "I truly am sorry, all I ever wanted was to be your friend but I went about it all wrong and yes I love your sister but as she's proven with that mean right hook she can handle her self but I will cherish and spoil her the way she deserves." "Thank you and I apologize as well everything was so new to me and I had been fed lies about slytherin from the moment I learned I was a wizard, I also learned I was under spells and compulsions to hate you not that excuses anything. I shouldn't have risen to the bate and fired back so many times and I should have taken your hand in first year. The same warning goes for you don't hurt her!" "I wouldn't dream of it" Draco then slung his arm over Mia and suggested we all sit and chat.

As everyone headed to sit I grabbed Nevilles arm gently. He looked up at me with trepidation in his eyes. "Hey Nev care to take a walk?" At this he nodded. I turned to everyone else. " Nev and I are going for a walk in the garden we will back by lunch" to hedwig I mentally spoke want to go for a fly girl while Nev and I walk?" "Yes please hatchling" she hopped on my shoulder and we headed out.

Nev and I walked for a bit before he spoke up. "Harry..." "Please call me Hades" "Hades you look so different! What happened?" I knew he was avoiding talking about himself but I figured if I shared he would too. So I told him everything that had happened. At the end of it he was quiet for a moment then with a smile stopped and hugged me. "Hades I'm so happy you are away from them and found your Mates"  I squeezed back "Thank you Nev now tell me about your summer how did you end up here?" "Well I came into an inheritance this summer after Alford attempted to...ugh ra..I can't say it, he beat me bloody and then tried to do that and my magic lashed out, it locked everyone out of my room for 2 days. When I came to my gran I mean lady Longbottom told me we didn't have creatures in our family. She called me filth and threw me out. As I was wondering down the dirt road an owl landed on my shoulder with a note and port key to Gringotts. When I arrived they said the inheritance test I had previously taken was tampered with and my old account manager had been dealt with. I think he was honestly beheaded based on the conversation." He looked a little sick at this but pushed on "Anyway I took a new test and found out a ton including that I'm lord to 2 houses and Heir to another." "Wow what houses?" At this he mumbled "Heir Lestrange, Lord Longbottom, Lord Burke" "Nev how are you Heir lestrange?" Hades had a feeling he may know but what Nev said next shocked him. "Bella and Rodo are my parents. They didn't hurt the Longbotttoms on purpose, Dumbledore imperioused them to do it when they showed up to take me back. Before my mum and dad I mean Alice and Frank were deemed insane he forced a blood adoption and shipped my real mum and dad off to Azkaban then paid Lady Longbottom and Alford to beat me and keep me in line as a second line of defense if you failed or didn't make it." Both boys were now openly crying and holding each other. Hades pulled back "Oh Nev I am so sorry!  I am glad you are away from there and here with us. You are my bother and we'll technically cousin as well! All of this is going to take time for us to get used to but I think everything is going to be OK. I love you no matter who your parents are! Also what creature are you?" Nev grinned and his ears elongated and he thinned some while growing a bit taller his eyes seemed to sparkle. He waved his hand and vines swirled up around them, flowers appeared along the vines and petals rained down on them, with another wave it all stopped. " I'm actually a Metamorphagus and a wood elf. Get the elf from dad and the meta from me mum!" "Wow that's so cool I'm a metamorphagus too!" They laughed and talked a little longer before realizing it must be close to lunch. They headed inside excited to see what was being offered. Headwig softly landed on Hades shoulder as they walked in.
