"Parseltongue"

'Thoughts'

"Speech"

Hadrian's Pov

I entered the shop, my eyes laid upon the most beautiful creature, with locks of silver and stormy grey eyes. "Oh... Hadrian, didn't Uncle Sev told you that we'll meet at the ice cream shop?" the young Malfoy heir enquired, with a brow raised. "Ah! Yes, Papa did say that, but... Uhmm... Something caught my eye and..."

A hand grabs my arm frightening "Hadrian, don't storm off like that," my father spoke face pale as a ghost, "I'm sorry father, there was something caught my eye and---"

"Then you should have said so, take whatever you want, and will wait for you by the counter" my father started to walk away, I turn to my Papa “Go on child, your father is just a little bit upset little him calm down for a bit” I watch him walk towards father near the counter to calm him down "So what was it, I can help you look around, to find the thing that ‘caught your eye’" Draco said with a smug look, seeing through my lies.

"Fine, you got me. There happy now"

"Very much, now let's find something for you to purchase"

We started to skim around the shop, when my eyes laid upon, the most beautiful rings of all, "They're gorgeous" I said unconsciously, "Is that what you want"

I quickly turn around to see who said that, nearly dropping the rings "Papa, don't do that, nearly scare me to death"

"Apologies child, but still, is that really what you entered here for," my Papa said a hint of doubt in his voice. Lowering my head, not looking at my Papa in the eyes "You know, could tell me"

Looking up, "Papa, how do you know, that Father is your mate?" I said not looking him in the eyes, ears starting burn red. "Well, I was talking to Lucius, that time when I was about the age of 16, I felt a pull. A magical pull, I started to unconsciously follow it. I arrived at the abandoned girl's bathroom, where moaning Myrtle was murdered. And I saw it, a passageway, and I saw your father, coming out of it. At first, I thought that my subconscious is toying me. Until, I look at his eyes and felt the sparks, that he's my mate. And why do you ask?"

I listen intently to my Papa's story, and stagger when he asked me the question "I... ah... Uhmm... it's because"

"Severus! Hadrian! What are you two taking so long" I can see my father ready to breath fire, "I'll tell you later, father is ready to blast fire from his mouth" I escape my Pa, immediately thanking my father for saving me from explaining myself.

I arrive where my father is, and quickly pay for the rings "You have a good eye for jewelry young lord. Is this for you and your mate?"

"My son does not have a mate, and I’ll be damn if I’ll ley the boy to take my child away" Father spoke still fuming, "Is that so good Lord, well children need to grow and leave the nest someday," the employee spoke trying to calm my father. Taking out the card my father gave me. He ringed the rings and gave me the items.

Exiting the shop seeing both Malfoys wait outside, still feeling the small pull "Took you long enough, let's go buy some ice cream now" the young Malfoy spoke, we start walking towards the ice cream parlor. "Then maybe you can introduce yourself, Mr. Slytherin," he said, as he walks ahead slight turn to look at me with the infamous Malfoy smirk plastered on his face.

When his head faced the direction of the ice cream shop watching his back starts to get smaller as the distance grew larger, I could feel my face getting hotter. "Take a picture it will lassst long," a small hiss burst the trance I’m in. Shaking my head back to reality "Where have you been Serena?" I asked my lovely familiar.

"I've been with Master Tom, he was telling me stories about my parents" looking up I see my parents. Looking at me with concerning faces "I'm fine, let's just go and get this over with" I said walking where the Malfoy's are heading.

Entering the shop, I saw the two blond heads, sitting in the corner booth, waiting patiently. Looking behind I see my parents behind me, I walk towards the counter and order. Stride towards the Malfoys "Sorry for the wait, it was a hard to pick which to choose from the shop, it’s full of wonderful treasure" I start running my mouth, blabbering whatever comes into my head.

"So are you going to introduce yourself?" that question caught me off guard, "Thought so, give it up Potter, what kind of polyjuice did you use, to look like my godfather and Uncle Tom," the young Malfoy accuses

I lower my head not meeting his eyes "I didn't use any polyjuice" I whisper weakly where I only can hear it. But it seems that Draco also hears it too. "No need to tell lies Potter, just tell me what you and Granger are up to, and I will let you be on your way"

I didn't reply, "Are you still not satisfied from the attention you're getting from your muggle family" the horrible night flew fast in my mind, earning me a shiver "Are you still not being pumper enough that you still seek other attentions" the abuse of the Dursleys started to flash in my mind. I still can hear Draco blabbering his thoughts.

More of the abuse started to return from my memory, I started shaking like a leaf, I can feel my magic leak, "Are you still---"

"Enough!!!" I said bursting, I started to look up, I see him crying his eyes out "Wh-why are you crying," I said out loud.

"You used Empathy, are you the—"

"Enough Draco, stop it already" my Father said, clearly then the ice creams arrived. We eat in absolute silence.
