I've returned from the past

Part 2: Chapter 3

Soo, it's been a few months. Sorry guys. This story has taken a lot out of me and it's been a few years, since I've started it. I'm grateful for every single one of you that's stuck around despite the story being very... how should I put it? A rollercoaster of quality and plot holes. So I've been planning a rewrite for a while, I'm currently at chapter... 2, I think, and once I get to chapter five I will post it on my account beside this one. I'm not sure if I'll continue this one at the same time as the other one or if I'll just upload a chapter once a month and pull through, but it will be different and it will revise a lot of the problems I've been having and you can rest assured the quality will be MUCH better. So the new version should be up by... ooh, let's go August, so just keep that in mind for those of you that are interested and want to give this story another go.

I also have a little surprise that will be coming out maybe around July that has to do with this story (sort of) and for those of you that are interested in that, that might be cool.If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.

Also this chapters a tad Graphic so, that's your warning.

-o.0.o-

The Black Lake was wild, crashing against the stone shore and Hadrian was sat underneath one of the bowing willows, the fronds skittering along the stones as the wind picked up.

Orion had used his robes to make a bed of sorts on the reeds and was complaining. Nothing new.

"I really don't see what you see in that half-blood! He curries favour with Slughorn, which isn't very hard to do all things considering and I wasn't under the impression you cared about any of that stuff."

"I don't."

"Exactly! So what else is impressive apart from the fact that he's a teachers pet and a book addict?" Never in his entire life would Hadrian have thought someone would refer to Lord Voldemort so casually. It almost makes him laugh.

From the glare from Orion, he doesn't quite manage to hide his smile.

"I mean the girls from Ravenclaw just swoon for him, if only they knew that he breaks bones and tortures people in the common room." Orion scoffs and turns around, blue eyes narrowing at his brother who was trying to focus on Ekkathion- who was squirming around and fluttering his wings indignantly. "Don't tell me he gave you the dragon. "

"He did not give me the dragon," Hadrian said with a huff. He decides to withhold that he'd found the egg while duelling him in the Dark Forest.

A mouse wriggles from the end of his wand and Orion makes a sound of disgust, turning away while Ekkathion cocks his head and stares at it before his head jolts up and snaps his tiny fangs around the furry body. The small black lizard throws the dead mouse into the air before swallowing it whole.

"Eugh that never gets better," Orion mutters.

Hadrian makes a sound of annoyance as the wind steals his hair tie and his hair goes wild.

"I'm cutting it all off," he announces.

"I'm sure your hair is the only reason Riddle likes you."

"Don't be daft. I'm one of the most powerful people in our year group."

"Oh don't let it get to your head you bastard," Orion mutters, throwing an arm over his eyes to hide from the sun. Hadrian casts a spell that redoes his hair- and then settles down against the reeds, while Ekkathion flops off his stomach and into the space between Orion and Hadrian. "Do you think Father will get me a new owl if your dragon eats it?"
