Harry walked up to where he figured the library was. He was surprised to see the number of books that were in the library. With an intrigued grin, Harry looked amongst the bookshelves, to see if he could find a book to strike his interest and one that he hasn't already read.

"Have it," Harry muttered.

"Read it," Harry murmured again.

"Stupid," Harry said about a book on muggle fairytales, "Why they even have this book is beyond me, but whatever." Harry continued moving along. He eventually came across a book that had a weird aura around it. It gave Harry a weird feeling. So, he pulled it out, "Magik Most Dangerous and Deadly" and went to go read it.

Harry was around half finished with the book when Sirius showed up.

"Hey, Harry. What are you doing? I thought you'd be reading a book by now," Sirius said, looking strangely at his godson.

"I am. I found a book that was strange, so I picked it up. Now I know why it felt weird, you can't see it," Hadrian replied.

"Oh, okay, then. What book are you reading?" Sirius asked, trying to see the book.

"Magik Most Dangerous and Deadly," Hadrian replied honestly, he wasn't really one for lying, at least to family.

"We have one of those!?" Sirius asks, looked shocked.

"Apparently, unless it magically appeared on the bookshelf," Hadrian replied. Then he added, "Well, it could have..."

"Fair point. So is there a way to make the book visible to me?" Sirius asked his 9-year-old godson.

Harry laughed at the irony that a full-grown adult wizard is asking a child for help with magic. However, he nodded and let his magic wrap around Sirius' eyes. This allowed Sirius to see things as Harry did, including the invisible things and magic auras.

"Do you see everything like this normally?" Sirius asked, looking around the room in amazement.

"Yep. I can turn it off, but I prefer not to. It is safer this way," Hadrian replies, his voice going a little grim at the end.

Sirius looked at Harry in confusion, "What do you mean?" he asked.

"When I was at my relatives' house, there were constantly people watching me, spying on my family and I. They weren't aware that I could see them, and they ignored the constant beatings they saw and heard. After I got my relatives to stop hurting me, I didn't care much anymore, However, they were always there. It was rather upsetting. Did you know that McGonagall tried to convince Dumbledore to not give me to the Dursleys?" Harry replied.

"I did not know that. How did you end up there then? She is a rather determined witch," Sirius asked, a small smirk on his face.

"I wasn't sure at the time, however, now, I know that Dumbledore sent a silent compulsion charm at her. I remember feeling it pass over me as it went to her," Hadrian replied.

"Maybe I should see about sending her a letter to get checked by the goblins too," Sirius spoke, looking at Harry curiously.

"That would be wise. Anyway, I am going to pull my magic back now, so your eyesight will be going back to what you are used to. It takes a while to actually adjust to it, I had headaches and migraines for a long time," Hadrian spoke, grimacing at the thought.

Sirius nodded at Harry, then blinked a few times as his eyesight returned to normal, "When do you need to head back to where you live?" Sirius asked.

"In a few hours. I want to stop by the Malfoys before I return though. Can I take this book with me when I leave?" Hadrian asked.

Sirius thought about it for a few moments before replying, "Sure, just don't get caught with it."
