Chapter - 2

Emerging from the time chamber, Hadrian was greeted by a goblin teller at the front desk who handed him the requested cash card. Concluding his business dealings with the goblins, Hadrian meticulously organised his files before venturing into the forest to set up his camping equipment. Subsequently, and contacted the elves to receive an update on the progress.

"Dobby, Winky, Kreacher, and Effy!" Hadrian's voice echoed through the room, and the unmistakable sound of apparition instantly filled the air.

"Yes, Master Hadrian summoned us," Winky spoke, her voice carrying the weight of his authority.

"Hey, Winky, can you give me an update on the status of the tasks I assigned to you and the team?" inquired Hadrian.

"Dobby reported to Master Hadrian that he was diligently ensuring that all the residents of Hogwarts were being provided with meals, with the assistance of the Hogwarts Elves. Additionally, he had located all the places where muggle-borns were being held captive and presented a detailed list to Master Hadrian," Dobby said.

"Good Dobby, as you found the locations, I want you to take them to Dark Rose Manor in Italy once I make sure to take down their defence and kill or maim them and leave them to the mercy of Ministry, as Dark Rose Manor has Eleves which is Potter family-owned property. Tell them their Master is back, and they are on orders to take care of them until I say so," Hadrian assigned the next task to Dobby as he had planned to ambush the locations tonight one by one before the night was over and everyone saw the new dawn.

"Winky, I want you to remember this message. I've just finalised a contract to harvest the Basilisk in the chamber. They'll be sending you the detailed financial records of our earnings. Additionally, I've requested them to preserve some basilisk hide for its magical resistance to curses, spells, and battles. Remind them to preserve some venom and tears, as these are valuable in medicine. Also, what's the latest news from Godric's Hollow?" Hadrian explained.

"Master Hadrian, I want to remind you that Godric's Hollow is currently under the control of the Potter Family. I have taken the initiative to hire skilled builders to reconstruct the estate according to its original design, using Goblin warding to ensure its security. Access to the property is restricted to those with Potter Blood. Additionally, I have begun carefully preserving the family portraits and heirlooms to be displayed in their rightful places. Lastly, I wanted to inquire whether you would like me to resume preparing your breakfast and lunch, Master?" Winky inquired.

Hadrian's stomach grumbled loudly as he called out to his loyal house elf, Winky. "Yes, Winky, get me my lunch, please. I'm famished," he pleaded.

"I will bring it right away, Master Hadrian," Winky responded with a bow before disappearing with a characteristic pop.

Just moments later, a tempting array of dishes materialised on the table before him. The aroma of the freshly prepared meal filled the room as Hadrian eagerly tucked into his lunch, savouring each delicious bite.

"Kreacher, what about you?" inquired Hadrian.

"Master Hadrian Grimmauld's residence is nearly complete; following your instructions, I have gathered all the discarded items from the blood traitor Weasley and placed them in the basement. I have only the kitchen and hallway left to renovate, Master. Additionally, I overheard Weasley mentioning an upcoming Order meeting," Kreacher reported.

"Have you made any progress on Marauder's Cottage & Black Chateau, Kreacher?" Hadrian inquired.

"Not yet, Master. Once Grimmauld Place is completed, I will begin working on them. I've also placed protective wards on the floo to regulate access. Only those with your authorisation can enter," Kreacher explained.
