The Joker Rising

Ensuing Chaos

"What did you do?" Moody growled.

Hadrian stood taking a stance incase it didn't go right. "What are you talking about?"

Moody laughed "you don't get it. Kidnapping now and hurting kids."

"We didn't-"

"Don't you mess with me you both are criminals and deserve to be locked up."

Hadrian made his way to the bed where Damien laid. He felt prtective over a brother he never asked for. It was new but Hadrian liked it.

Though he was stopped by a wand "oh no you don't. You think You have them all rapped around your finger. Believeing what they do. I know the truth."

Hadrian looked at the wand and raised an eyebrow. "We don't hurt kids."

"And you think I believe you-"

"No its the tru-" Hadrian was cut off by a hex that sent him to the floor.

"Don't interrupt me." Moody looked back to Kingsley and then to the arousing Damian "take him out I'll take care of the Joker."

"No they didn-"

"Mind games too." He said looking at Marcus.

"We have been looking for you Damian. Come on your parents are worried sick." Kingsley spoke for the first time.

"No I am not leaving Hadrian. What did you do to him?" Damien roared a little of Lily Potter showing.

Hadrian was silently pleading with Damien to just leave. Marcus and him talked it over deciding to just play it out and not fight the man. Hadrian just wanted his brother to leave.

Hadrian tried to stand back up but the excruciatingly painful hex was still ineffective. He collapsed to the floor. Another hit. Marcus shouted something. He tried to protect them. Another hit. This time Damien shouted, Hadrian hoped he wasn't hurt. Another hit. Hadrian fell into the darkness of his mind.

"Stop! They didn't do anything!" Damien shouted "I snucked up here. I wanted to meet them. My brother."

"Ha, you want me to believe you a twelve year old broke into the Headquarters. Now I know they did something."

"Damien!" His mother cried as she ran up to him. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to meet my older brother. Please make him stop I didn't mean any harm. We..we even had fun." Lily looked into her sons eyes, a perfect mixture of green and brown. She held him as he sobbed into her shoulder.

James came up when he heard his son shout. Only to then find two teens on the ground and Moody stand watching. With Damien sobbing in his mothers embrace. Her emerald eyes pleading to him.

"Moody what is the meaning of this?" James demanded.

"I came in and Damien was passed out on the bed and that one," pointing to Marcus "was cleaning his weapons while your boy was reading about Necromancy."

"And you thought what?"

"They were hurting you second oldest son."

"Third. They are both my sons now release them both."

Moody looked hesitant but then seemed to realize who he was messing with. Both of them were released and place on the bed. They would be out of it for a couple hours. Moody then apologized and left the room.

"Damien what did you think you were doing. Sneaking into here. Going behind our backs after we told you not to." Damien sat in the chair Hadrian conjured earlier. "Damien we didn't know where you went. Since it is almost school so you will get your punishment latter-"

"Will you let up on the kid. All he wanted to do was meet his big brother." Marcus sighed slowly sitting up also getting Hadrian in a sitting position.

"How are you feeling?" Lily asked worried in her voice.

"Fine." Hadrian responded.

"Damien still went behind our backs and broke into the Headquarters-"

"To see someone you forgot to mention I was here. He came of his own free will. Now get out."

"Hadrian," Lily tried but failed to get through to him.

"Don't forget I can hear." He saw both Potters flinch.

"Dad please I wasn't...we had fun played cards. He's been through a lot please."

"Damien you still went against our wishes-"

"No its not fair. You both see what Michael does to us and now I have one brother, the one, I always dreamed about having. Only to meet him with everyone else at school.  It is not fair no matter if he doesn't get along with you. Its our wishes." Damien listed his temper rising up.

"Damien please don't talk to us like that." Lily said timidly.

"Go back to the Burrow I will decide on a punishment latter." James said getting an incredulous look from Damien then stormed off.

James stood there silent thinking everything over, then looked up at Hadrian. Cold indifference. It wasn't the same but it was something he had to accept. He then walked back out the room. Tiered from the chaos.

"You two take it easy the spell did a good number on you. But you are both healthy." Lily said to the two and once they nodded she took her leave. 

"So now what?"

"We wait to see  I guess its plan M then."

Hadrian laughed "yes I think it maybe close."

"Remember plan J?"

"The sneak up attack? My father hated that."

Marcus laughed at his friends embarrassment "ya we had to hang in the dungeon for a week."

"Ya never forgetting that scared him half to death."

"Mmm the whole school heard his shouting...."

An eight year old with jet black hair and bright shimmering green eyes was hidden using his  finished the masking spell and its incantation, and he had fun showing it off to his father, although he did get a scolding of a lifetime for scaring the Headmaster out of his wits. The scolding didn't do much, however, as Hadrian was too busy howling with laughter at the undignified sound that left the man and in the end Marche had bribed Hadrian to keep quiet about the incident.

He later found out that Marcus had been testing the spell with Hadrian, so had witnessed the entire incident first hand, and had no qualms in telling the staff and students, Hadrian had even went as far as sharing the memory with them so they could get the full force of the hilarity. Hadrian had been forced to walk around doing a fair impression of Medusa, without the deadly gaze, for two days after that, and it was an absolute nightmare listening to the snakes go on and on constantly....
