Hadrian Potter

9.

Hadrian's POV:
As Bella ran back to her room, I was about to go after her but Theo held me back for a brief moment.
" Hadrian. You have to tell her the truth. I know she is still young, but you have to tell her so she understands where you are coming from, and understands your situation with your parents and your twin brother." 
I sighed. "I know I have to tell her. I do not  really want to but I do know I have too. It's just she is so young I do not want to put her in such a conflicting situation." I started thinking of ways to tell Bella what is happening and what I want to do, although it is a lot for a nine year old t0 handle, I just know she will understand.
I sighed again, and got up to go to Bella. Walking down the hallway of the Nott Manor made me really anxious, but I have to suck it up for Bella and for myself. As I was walking down the hallway, I was trying to think of some ways to tell Bella the situation and why. She has to know why, she may not know the whole situation obviously, but knowing why may help her understand what is going on. Without realizing it, I was standing out the door Bella was in, as I was about to knock on her door the door suddenly opened up. Looking down I saw Bella starting up at me sniffling a bit, with red brimmed eyes broke my heart a bit.
I kneeled down to Bella's height wiping her tears away with my thumb. "Hey sweetheart. Can I talk to you for a bit?" I asked staring into her eyes seeing all the emotions running through her eyes mostly sadness, but also confusion. She nodded her head backing up to let me into her room, as I walked in I went to go sit on the bed where she is at making ourselves comfortable, but there is some tension lingering within the air.
Bella stared at me a bit. Just looking and staring into my eyes to see if she can decipher any emotions in my eyes. Knowing my eyes are cold and hard at the moment, they softened so she can see what emotions were running through my eyes: sadness, hope, and some relief. She finally asked, "why?" This was the question I have been waiting for her to ask.
There was a brief pause, "Are you sure you want to know why? Because once I tell you why everything will be different and I do not know if you will look or want to really be around me anymore." I told her and wanting to double check with her if she is sure she wants to know why because it is true, everything will different.
"Yes, I am sure I want to know. And whatever happens after this just know that I will always love you, and look up to you." Bella stated softly. I gave her a brief but soft smile towards her which showed my dimples a bit.
"Ok." Taking a breath and getting ready to tell her why I am doing this. "Everything was fine before Charles and I were a year old, but when Voldemort came and attacked the Potter home that is where everything went downhill for me. As Charles was declared the 'boy who lived' is all a lie. I have a photographic memory, and I remembered that night clear as day. I was the one who is supposed to be the one declared as the 'boy who lived.' Do not get me wrong I do not care for the title at all, but this mistake is going fall back on the light side as they declared the wrong person. As time went on after that declaration, everything changed such as everybody starting to neglect me and pay special attention to Charles. Charles was praised for being the 'boy who lived' and 'defeating Voldemort'. While I was stuck up in my room not really able to come out, I was restricted and confined into my room as I was not as important as Charles. With all the neglect from our parents, our parents friends, just everyone made me isolated and I grew resentful towards everyone. Going to Hogwarts was very exciting for me as I was able to get away from the lonely and isolating home, I was able to find my true family at Hogwarts. But being sorted into Slytherin caused me to be hated even more by our family and so on. I was happy with going about with my own life, and I decided to not go home anymore because there was nothing there for me there anymore, and our parents were more than happy to be rid of me, so in a way it was a win win situation between the three of us. As you were born just before Charles and I were off to Hogwarts I did come back to the Potter Manor sometimes in order to see you, but it was not as often as I would like sadly. With being resented under the Potter name, I have decided that soon I am going to take up a new name which is the Peverell as I can take up that name, but I would not really be associated with the Potter name anymore which is what I want. I would not be coming home as I would be living in the Peverell Manor, this is why I want to talk to Lily and James about me coming to see you or you coming over to visit at the Peverell Manor." I let out a breath after finishing my explanation feeling a bit relieved. I looked at Bella and see her tearing up a bit, but I can see she understands.
Bella took a deep breath looking back up to me, and suddenly lunged at me giving me a big hug. "I would love to be able to visit you at your Manor, and Hades I do understand why you are doing this. It makes sense to me why you want to do this. It is not selfish as you are doing this for your own good, and I want you to be happy rather than being restricted by our parents and society." After Bella said all of this I started to tear up a bit as I tightened my hug not wanting to really let go of this moment as it could possibly be the last time I see her if Lily and James do not agree with the arrangement I came up with.
I pulled back from the hug wiping Bella's tears away again and sighed, "Bella this might be the last time I see you especially if Lily and James do not agree." I said wanting her to understand what could happen. As Bella was about to say something Theo barged into the room.
"Hades, Lily and James are here they want Bella. I tried stopping them but they want her." Theo stated a bit out of breath. I was a bit confused as they allowed me to have her out for the day. I got up and walked to the front door and asked, "Why are you guys here? You agreed that Bella and I can hang out for the day.?" I asked confused.
They ended up ignoring me and taking Bella from my hand and walking back to their car, as they were doing that Bella started shouting, "HADES!! HELP ME! STOP MOM, DAD LET ME GO!!" I started shouting too, "HEY LET HER GO WHAT IS HAPPENING!" Before I could reach them they already took off with no explanation what so ever. Looking back at Theo with tears in my eyes and so confused as to why they suddenly took her away.
"What the fuck was that?" I spat out.
