Neville, Hadrian and Daphne entered the Grey Rebels' private dorm.  The moment the door closed, Hadrian grabbed Daphne by the waist, and kissed her, almost desperately.  Sensing the two needed some private time, Neville walked out, and waited outside the door for the other two, and maybe Blaise.

~~~Daphne and Hadrian talk

Daphne melted inside as Hadrian kissed her.  It had went from desperate, to hard, to soft, and caring.  Then suddenly Hadrian had torn away from Daphne and stomped angrily towards the end of the room, and punched the wall.  Daphne would have betted the punch would have gone through the wall, if it weren't for the magical reinforcements.

Hadrian then leaned against the wall, shoulders slumped, looking more defeated than Daphne had seen him for a long time.

"I've been meaning to say this for a while.  You shouldn't be with me." Hadrian said lowly.

"You're breaking up with me?" Daphne asked, tears starting to pool.

"Daphne," Hadrian said gently, soothing her immediately, "I'm not good for you.  I'm probably the last person your parents would want you to even associate with, and I can't do anything for you.  Being with me, would mean a secret relationship as long as Voldemort and his Death Eaters are living.  Your parents would be disappointed, thinking their perfect and beautiful daughter are incapable of finding a pureblood boy to help carry on the honor of the Greengrass family.  I don't have anything I can give you.  All I can do is kill, stalk, interrogate, duel, and murder.  I'm a dark wizard Daphne.  I use dark spells and enjoy it.  I don't have Neville's friendliness and gentlemanly qualities.  I don't have Ginny's passion for others, or good morals.  I don't have Hermione's innocence and endless intelligence.  All I can do, is hurt people, kill them, put them through torture, make them scream in agony.  It's all I'm good at.  Even if your parents meet me, they would hate me, thinking I scared you into dating me, with my blood sucking inheritance, blood and shadow elemental powers."

"Hadrian.  It doesn't matter." Daphne replied.  This was probably the most open Hadrian had ever been to her.  Daphne had always seen others in the Grey Rebels envy Hadrian for his potent in magic, dueling, and power.  But what she didn't realize, was Hadrian in return, envied the others for their personalities and qualities; Hadrian was just better at hiding it.

The two simply sat on the couch in comfortable silence.  Hadrian looking relaxed for a change, head leaned back against the tip of the couch, eyes closed, and hands combing through Daphne's light blonde hair.  Daphne was sitting right next to Hadrian, head in his lap, as she looked up at Hadrian.

~~~beside the Black Lake; Neville, Ginny, Blaise, and Hermione are talking

"Wow.  I've never seen anyone so frightening.  I've never seen Hadrian that frightening before." Blaise said, starting to understand why his girlfriend always warned him to be careful near Hadrian.

"Well, you've never seen Hadrian when he hunts down Death Eaters and does whatever he wishes with them.  None of us accompany him when he does." Ginny said blatantly.

"How would Hadrian leave someone in pieces of blood and flesh everywhere, or make blood slosh inside them, or extract blood?" Blaise asked.

"Oh, Hadrian specializes in Dark Spells, and he's invented spells that only he knows, but he's shared a few with us.  And you know that article in the Daily Prophet a few years ago, about the death eater Gibbon being found in an alley, blood everywhere, flesh and bones everywhere?" Ginny asked, Blaise nodded, face turning pale, "That was Hadrian.  And the other methods of torture, they're more personal, so you should ask Hadrian himself." Ginny said, referring to Hadrian's blood elemental qualities and Vampire inheritance.
