Hadrian Potter

Alluring Darkness

Tracy POV

We were stuck in our room for 20 minutes, I was lying on my bed, patiently waiting to be let out. Daph was finding it a little more difficult, pacing and ranting continuously, probably due to her Italian temperament.

"Why is he so controlling? Please tell me, because he is officially not getting any!" She growled, while I laughed. 

Most people knew Daphne as the Ice Queen of Slytherin. Her title was justified as she wore her mask extremely well, leaving no trace of the inappropriate, funny and kind witch I was familiar with.

Her pureblood childhood created it, making sure her weaknesses were unidentifiable to anyone who could use them to their advantage.

Just then the door opened and I quickly sat up. 

There stood Hadrian and a couple of the guys, however it was his presence that made the room feel ridiculously small, not only due to his physical size but his intense power that he carried, it made the air thick with magic.

He lifted his foot to step forward into the room. Smirking, I purposefully neglected to tell him about the magical rule about boys entering a girls dorm room just to see him be thrown out of it with force.

I was angry.

However no such thing happened, perhaps I should have known, instead he stepped gracefully in the room moving away from the door. 

This made it possible to see who stood behind him, it was Theo, blood ran down his face and he had a bruise on the side of his jaw.

Clenching my teeth I looked at Hades who was was staring intensely at me like he was waiting for my reaction. I looked at his hands and saw the bruise knuckles he was sporting, my eyes flickered to his full of hate.

How dare he.

His lips smirked and his eyebrow arched, it was the sign of a challenge. Yeah he was a world away from the nice and comforting boy I had experienced earlier. 

I stood and rushed toward Theo in panic, touching his face gently, asking him if he was okay.

He said nothing, only removing my hand from his face. I froze hurt by his rejection, thankfully he kept hold of it encasing it in the warmth of his own, keeping my overzealous fragile beating heart at bay.

Daphne POV

I was thankful that Tracy didn't attempt punch Hadrian, it seemed like she would, her face said it all, she really was an open book. I loved her for it though, too many girls were fake in their demeanours. 

Not Trace, she was so innocent and fragile, I would do anything to protect her.

That was one of the reasons I was angry at Hadrian, he knew all of this about her and yet he still would control her every move, of course it was out of protection, he would die for her that I knew for sure, but his methods were unnecessary.

As Trace went over to Theo, I glared at Hadrian or Hades as Trace like to call him, it suited him; King of Hell. Ha fucking ha. 

Like he knew what I was thinking he immediately turned his flashing stare at me. Fuck you buddy, I was not backing down.

Out of my peripheral vision I noticed everyone was descending back down to the common room, I stood ready to do just the same, walking past Hadrian. 

However I was stopped by his hand gripping my upper arm. He sure had some fucking cheek, attempting to tear my arm away from his hold I spun around to face him.

Before I knew it, my hand was raised and I slapped him hard around the face.

It was lucky we were alone, his response would have been monstrous if I had done that in front of an audience. 

However, as his face jerked back from the abuse I bestowed, I found no solace in my previous thought, he looked wild and terrifying in his anger however impossibly managing to maintain his god like beauty.

He was stepping closer to me now. 

"Don't come near me." I growled, it was lucky I was angry at his audacity to manhandle me, otherwise my voice would of held a tremor of fear. 

I could already picture the look on his face if it did, his smile would become mocking and smug.

However, his face now just looked like stone, but the spark of amusement in his eyes mercifully lessened his angry gaze.

"You knew." He said heatedly. Of course I knew, his comment was no question it was a statement, one that held a consequence in its every inflection. 

What he didn't know was I was intending to deliver him my own punishment.

It made me smile, it wasn't my usual smile that I would give to Trace, it matched one that he would deliver, cold and challenging. In response he threw his body forcefully against mine capturing me against the wall, it hurt but nothing could cause me to look away from this man.

Only being 16 years old, the term "man" seemed premature, however it suited Hadrian better than the term, "boy" which seemed much too ordinary, too inferior for this alluringly exquisite wizard. 

His hard body was against mine, his lips brushed mine as he spoke, "You said nothing." I pushed against him, but failed.

"Tracy asked me not too, I didn't say anything to anyone. Get off me, Hadrian, if you really think you can have any of me, you are crazy." I spoke fiercely, my lips striving to smirk when I delivered my intended punishment.

He laughed, it was deep and I could feel it vibrate through his chest which encased me, it wasn't cold and unfeeling, it was real. 

It made me want to melt to him but I held strong, standing with my decision to leave him wanting.

"So that's your plan, is it, to not let me have you. I knew you were holding something in, your eyes were literally screaming to throw that one at me." He spoke, quietly. Why did he make my plan seem ridiculous, like it would never happen.

He stepped back away from me, taking his body heat and his delicious scent with him. I almost reached out for him as if to physically bring it back.

"I'll see you tonight," The smug son of a bitch uttered, before turning and walking out of the room, leaving me feel the tendrils of his magic uncurl from around me.

I should of felt relief, his magic was dark and enticing in nature, but it was also alluring and mysterious just like the wizard that walked away with it.
