Hadrian Potter

The Mortem Brothers

Hogwarts Staff POV

James Potter

"James," I turned to face Dumbledore who looked at me gravely. What was going on?

"Dumbledore, what's going on?" I asked worriedly, many theories flew around in my mind, I attempted to try to deduce what could possibly be wrong.

"James, it's okay. However I must inform you that there was an altercation on the train," Dumbledore said looking irritated.

"What happened?" I was getting frustrated now, I just wanted to know.

"Hadrian attacked William, he was knocked out cold. He has a broken nose and jaw."

I was going to kill Hadrian, I couldn't believe what Dumbledore was telling me, I knew Hadrian was dangerous but full out cruel, I didn't think so.

Until now.

"Is he okay? Why did he attack?" I questioned Dumbledore, wanting to know why it happened, I couldn't believe I was asking these questions about my own child.

"Many witnesses said they were taunted by both William and Mr Weasley, they apparently had said something to make the boys attack. Mr Longbottom also attacked Mr Weasley. The boys were both revived by a medic on the train," Dumbledore replied face grim, I could see his underlying worry.

All I felt was roaring anger, I was going to hurt Hadrian. He had hurt his own Brother!

"What will be their punishment?" I asked, before I gave my own.

Dumbledore sighed, "I will deal with them later on tonight, they were handcuffed and have been in Auror Jake Cliffton's charge ever since. Come, the feast is about to start." And with that he left for the Great Hall, I had the idea that he was trying to not worry to much.

But I was angry.

I knew that the strength of Hadrian and Neville left Will and Ron with no chance. It wasn't surprising that they were both knocked out cold, it only proved my thoughts.

I was again mad at Hadrian, many said that they had laughed afterward and hadn't stopped until they had gotten into the carriages.

It just seemed so cruel.

I looked at the Hall doors, as soon as I was seated, for my sons. I saw Will first hobbling to the Gryffindor table along with Ron, he looked awful, all pale and fidgety.

A loud noise made me look up again. A group of boys walked in Hadrian and Neville in the lead.

They were loud and boisterous, some were punching each other playfully, were they Slytherin's?

I was confused, Slytherins never acted so human, they looked like the ultimate gang; clever, handsome, strong, not to mention dangerous.

Hadrian seemed to know them well going from their interactions and as I looked closer I noticed his handcuffed hands.

An Auror, who I knew Fudge had hired to keep an eye on the two, looked on amusedly before taking off the metal restraints and giving a quick word to them both.

I clenched my fists, still angry at Hadrian's carefree reaction to Will's beaten condition.

He didn't give a shit, even though I knew Will wasn't completely innocent, the whole thing was uncalled for.

Then I watched as Hadrian threw a girl over his shoulder, I froze. The groups of lads behind him laughed obviously used to Hadrian's behaviour, wait did Hadrian just bite her on the thigh?
