Hadrains POV

After we reached the school we waited until the last possible moment before heading inside. No one really wanted to come back to Hogwarts, but if we didn't it would raise way too many questions, and we don't want that to happen.

As we stepped into the great hall everything fell silent, everyone went to their tables while I stood in the middle of the room. "I need to get sorted please" i said in a loud and kind voice

"And who might you be?" Miss Mcgonagall said standing from her seat

" My name is Hadrain Snape, i wish to be sorted"

The great hall was silent after that, you could hear a pin drop to the floor. I tried to hold back my laughter and keep a straight face while everyone burst into whispers. I knew this would happen, lady hogwarts gave me a few clues on how this would go.

"Very well, mr dumbledore will call the hat and we will get you sorted right away"

"Thank you" i said back heading up to the front of the room

Before coming to Hogwarts I had some glamorous placed to hide my dad's features, so I look much more like my mum. It took a little to get used too but I like my new look, I do miss my dads features though. After the hat was called I was sitting on the stool and waiting for it to be placed onto my head. I can't wait for this conversation.

"Well, well, well" the hat started off "what do we have here?"

'They can't hear you right?'

'No of course not Mr. Riddle-Snape'

'Ah so you know my full name'

'Of course I do, I know all.'

'I wish to be placed in the best place you think is for me'

I heard the hat chuckle 'not fighting it is time?'

'No.'

'Before I sort you, I must let you know that lady hogwarts told me you are her heir.'

'Yes, that's the truth'

'Then i must warn you that dumbledore is up to something, ever since harry potter went missing and he can't find him, he is coming up with a new plan. I fear he might try and get neville involved and become the new boy who lived'

'I will keep that in mind and warn neville, i will make sure that does not happen'

'Every good, now then please come and find me in the headmasters office sometime so we can have a proper chat without these people watching'

'I will do so' i smiled to myself knowing the hat is now on my side and will do anything to help

'With that all sorted, I think it should be...' SLYTHERIN"

Once the hat placed me I gently placed him down and made my way over to the slytherin table where I joined my mate and his friends. I placed my hand on top on draco's and grabbed some food for us to eat.

The great hall was alive, everyone was talking and looking over at me. I knew this would be a shock to everyone and I was planning on it to be. I will make sure they know exactly who hadrian snape was and not to mess with the people i hold dear.

After some more eating, Draco got up suddenly and grabbed my hand and started pulling me away from the great hall. I was shocked at first. I wasn't expecting him to act so rushed. Once we reached a portrait he whispered a phrase and made his way inside. I hadn't been able to say a single word the whole way down, too caught up with trying not to fall over on the way down.

"Dray! What's happening? Why are you rushing around?" I asked once we finally stopped in the middle of the common room.

"I'm sorry hades" is all he said before looking at the ground.

"Hey hey, look at me" i placed my hand underneath his chin and pulled his head up to make eye contact with me "tell me what's happening" i said softly

"I couldn't handle it anymore, the whispers, the stares, everything" he took a breath "i had to get away"

I looked at my mate with soft eyes. "I understand dray. People don't know how to mind their business." I moved my hands to grab his "it's okay to feel overwhelmed. I mean we left for ages and now we suddenly turned up and you are together with someone who they have never even heard of until now." i took a breath "people are going to talk, let them. They aren't part of our business and I swear to you that if anyone even dares to say someone about you or to anyone you care about I will make them pay. I've been holding back all these years and not by choice. I don't care if my image gets ruined, but I will make sure yours don't."

Dray had tears forming in the corner of his eyes. "Thanks hades, I knew I could count on you for anything. I didn't know if I could handle everything once it started, I'm sorry I didn't bring up my concerns earlier with you. I was afraid of what the answer might be. I'm still learning to trust someone else when I only trust certain people. I was terrified of letting someone else into my life. I've never had to do this until now." he chuckled a bit." I mean before I knew you were my mate, my mother had an arranged marriage set up for me."

I gripped his hands tighter "you have me now, you can trust me with your worries and woes"

"Thank you hadrian" was all draco said before pulling me into a tight hug

I hugged back tightly "lets go to your room, let's get you calmed down before we head out again"

I felt him smile in my shoulder before pulling away and grabbing my hand once more before heading in the direction of his room. I always liked that Draco and the other Slytherin's didn't have shared rooms, everyone had their own, with their own bathroom. I hated how I had to share with the Gryffindor's, They always took my stuff and had no sense of boundaries when showering or dressing.

Once in the room we walked over to the bed and laid down together, to cuddle and calm down our bodies and minds with only our thoughts and breaths in the room. I held Draco closer and breathed in his apple scent, forgetting the troubles for a minute and the plan and everything else on my mind once stepping foot into this castle.
