The Joker Rising

A Home

Hadrian was brought to the front entrance of a grand old castle, larger than anything he had ever seen. Seven grand floors with a large dungeon presumably, he followed the man through the main hall going through each stair case as he listed of things about the school.

"First floor is mainly the entrance hall and dinning hall. Second floor through the fourth floor are classrooms, the fifth and sixth floor are the sleeping quarters for students. The seventh floor is where students can train practice or other wise socialize. The library is located on the seventh floor as well." The man states as they traveled through to castle "now you are quite young but your powers are great for your age. You will start lessons immediately though I have other plans for you." They stopped at a painting of a lady with long thick black hair going past her waist. "Good morning Lady Morgana I have met someone who you would like to meet."

Harry stepped forward after being given a small shuve to face the painting, his bright green eyes stared at her with no emotion in them. "mmm I can feel the magic in him he is strong for his age what made him so you found him?" a soft voice came from the painting.

"My Lady I have seen with my own eyes, this is the heir we have been waiting for. Even though he wasn't in controlled he mercilessly killed a man who beet him and all in the same day burned the building and all those in it without a faze of worry. And I am aware you once knew of a Parseltongue? He is too, his snake is here as well."

"Well you seem quite right in deed may I meet your snake?"

Hadrian nodded and in Parseltongue spoke and a Tiger snake appeared from around his waist "awe a powerful snake indeed a Tiger snake, you my boy will be one to reckon with."

"Thank you miss" Hadrian responded and his snake did what a snake could to nod in respect as well. Taking the boy in one last time the painting then went back to the man.

"What is your plans now?"

"Well Hadrian what would you say if I adopted you. I know we just met but you will stay here learning all the lessons by the professors and me, you won't technically be a student but free reigns of everything here." The man looked down at the boy, who showed him the first emotion he ever saw in the boy, shock "what do you say?"

Coming out of his stupor the boy smiled a genuine smile and said "I would be honored."

"It is well we will finalize everything in the morning now lets get you some food and time to rest, my son" the man said to which Hadrian agreed full heartily.

Somewhere in Scotland

A tired mother sat with her son looking through a photo album. They just got over a birthday party for her son Micheal they wanted everything perfect but there was something missing, Micheal even noticed. But soon that thought went through their minds just as fast as it left. It did come back when they flipped to a small picture of two babies.

Confused she took it out, one was definitely Micheal with his hazel eyes, and the other had bright green eyes like her own. "James!" she shouted to her husband.

"Yes Lily flower?" a black messy hair, man came out of the kitchen.

"Did we have twins?" she asked showing him the photo, he took it in his hands, his face paled to a shade of ghost white.

"We did how could I have forgotten?" James asked the worried Lily.

"That would be me" an elderly man stepped out of the kitchen "the night Voldemort attacked the twins Hadrian was left with utterly no core when I went in before you got there, it was Micheal with the scar and the strongest magical core I knew he was the chosen one. Now about Hadrian I took it as my duty to make sure he is safe for the greater good. I placed him with your sister Lily. I am sorry for it but it is better in case he would get jealous. Your memories would come back on the boys 11th birthday when he comes to Hogwarts. Micheal needs to be ready for his return and needs no interruptions."

"But I am missing his first of everything" Lily whispered on the brink of tears.

"I am truly sorry I did it before you all woke up and came in. I have been told he likes to read." The man pointed out which got a hurtful smile from the mother "you will get him back I promise and from there you can make it up to him, you are his parents after all he will forgive you ."

"Your right but Micheal he should know about his brother" James said confused as to why all this happened. "He's not a squib is he?"

"No not entirely with school it will grow but it is very week compared to Micheal." James nodded at this "on telling Micheal wait till the right time he needs to focus on training."

They both silently nodded to the old man and mentor, as he took his leave. Lily had tears going down her face, wondering how much Hadrian is going to hate them in the end when it wasn't them who abandoned him. Her sister was a muggle who hated her and her husband more. Would she really take in Hadrian?

James was also crying for what he missed; getting to teach him to fly a broom, to hear his laugh, a proper childhood with his brother. He will make it up to him once he turns 11 it is only six years away. But so much time would have passed, what was Dumbledore thinking? Ripping apart a family without our knowledge let alone blocking our memories of our eldest son and heir.

Soon all three Potters turned in for the night both adults dreaming of seeing Hadrian once again now fully realizing that was what they bad been missing for five years.
