Within 3 days, Hermione figured out Blaize was spy.
Hermione pointed out: "He acts suspicious sometimes like he is hiding something. Pansy is too straightforward and not calculative. Also Blaize was only person apart from Draco who knew about Hadrian, also unlike Draco you met him in muggle world."
Hadrian: "yes"
Hermione: "Do you remember our first meeting with Lucifer."
Hadrian nodded.
Hermione: "Draco and My blood gave Lucifer our identity but how he knows Blaize's identity? He approved son of Black widow without any questioning but he actually checked your and Pansy to see things."
Draco argued:"But that's because he wanted to know that whether it's just loyalty or they have feeling for each other"
Hermione:"Of course but Blaize even didn't ask much question like us, it was like he knew things before hand. Also if you see Blaize was friends with most from Slytherin first year before joining Hogwarts. Why he needs to do so? Pure bloods aren't exactly talkative or good at making friends. If he was finding ally then for whom? Daphne met you first by coincidence but she is not on top like Pansy. You never met Pansy before so how come such strong headed powerful girl fall under your command without show of strength? Because what I gathered is Blaize informed Pansy about you. He knew how Pansy is and how her mind works. He must have thought if at some point you become difficult, he can get information out of Pansy because she has loud mouth and sucks at keeping secrets. So she was perfect candidate chosen for you by him"
Hadrian and Draco agreed with reasonning.
Draco:"What should we do about it?"
Hadrian:"Nothing as of now, Just don't talk any crucial information in front him. Pass him wrong information to make Lucifer think I am still under his command. If Lucifer loose me, he will get his punishment from Lucifer himself"
Then they discussed other stuff and separated there ways.

Hadrian went to visit amara at forest.
Hadrian hissed:"Amara darling, do you know any safe place where no dark power can enter"
Amara:"Yes master, I know a cave which is surrounded by unicorns. Their tears and skeleton covers the area no Dark power can enter the area. Only those who has pure heart can enter it."
Hadrian:"Can you ask them if I want to use it for my death?"
Amara:"Master.."
Hadrian:"We have to be ready for all case. Until my body disposed completely it has to remain out of Lucifer's grasp. Please just ask them"
Amara:"okay"
Hadrian:"Thank you darling"
Then he started walking back towards castle.

For things with Shadow of fangs and normal classes were going as usual. Only Draco, Hermione and Hadrian knew what's going on below surface.

Just a day before Halloween, Hadrian got up and murmured :"Finally the day to end all is here"

Then he went to visit amara at forest.
Hadrian: "Amara darling, there is only way to end all this nonsense. We tried everything and this is only option. I will kill Dumbledore today, then I will kill myself ending Dark Lord's Horcrux with me.  Have you talked with unicorns?"
Amara: "Are you sure master? I am meeting very powerful Forest King tomorrow, he might help"
Hadrian sighed:"I am sure, I can't wait and hope till last moment. Who knows at what time Lucifer makes his move and capture me. I am hardly keeping his spy and him at bay."
Amara:"Unicorns said they won't stop you, but only pure heart can enter cave. So they can't help if you can't enter."
Hadrian:"I see. If I won't be able to enter I will take hard route, of conjuring fiendfyre and if that won't work you have to finish my body amara"
Amara:"No  master.. I can't do that to you"
Hadrian:"I know. I am just telling you all possibilities. Anyways I will be back here in night so we can go to cave"
Amara just looked her master with sad look.

Hadrian reached castle and called meeting in RoR.
Hadrian: "Hello fangs of shadow. Today I am here to let you know war is coming on our door. When Dark Lord attack us I want you to be ready to Protect students of Hogwarts with everything you got. I am leaving with Dumbledore tomorrow to achieve some outside help. Hopefully we will come back soon. But till then Draco, Pansy, Hermione and Neville will lead this group. Let order of Phoenix take first blow, our strength will be used as last option to save Hogwarts. Any questions?"   
No one asked anything as always.
Hadrian:"Neville, Hermione, Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Luna, Smith and Cedric stay. Rest can leave"
As others left, Hadrian:"I want to talk with you individually and I want to keep what we discuss to yourself only. Don't tell it to anyone not even to other general or lover. Now go seat in next room and wait till I call each one separately."
They went as ordered.

First he called Cedric. 
Hadrian:"Cedric you are one of my most skilled warrior. You have to safe guard Hermione at all cost, I trust your skill to keep her safe till war completes or I come back. I know she is strong but she can be targeted by her parents as well. Can you do that for me?"
Cedric:"Yes my king"
 with bow he left. 

Second he called Neville.
Hadrian: "My Dark Lion, I have never doubted your ability. In each test you made me more proud. I know I have been unfair to you sometime and I am sorry for that. I have finished most part of Dark Lord's soul parts, but there is only one remain. His familiar snake Nagini. I trust you to finish it off. You will get this chance to prove you are really son of Alice and Frank Longbotttom who never bowed to Dark Lord. I am letting you have chance to prove everyone who ever doubted your will power. Don't loose your target because of Bellatrix, but if she comes in your way. You can deal with her, Hermione or I won't say a word to you."
Neville in thanking tone:"Your word is my command King"

Third he called Smith.
Hadrian: "You were right Tom. I am 7th Horcrux. I will have to let go. I want you to stay hidden until they finish him off, don't let him see you. Otherwise he will capture you for lifetime or suck your soul power out of you. I hope you still want same thing that you told me even after my blood oath loose control from you. Once Dark Lord will be deal with you will no longer have to hide from anyone."
Smith:"My king are you sure this is only way? You are powerful to crush the pest then why?
Hadrian:"There are more players in this game then you can see. I am key that is holding them back. I can't reveal everything, but there is no other way"
Smith with tears in eyes:"Good bye my king, I hope you will find your peace. I promise you I will stay away from him. If he manage to catch me, I won't hesitate to kill myself before submit to him. Although I won't go down without fight."
Hadrian laughed:"That's what I expect."

Fourth he called Pansy.
Hadrian:"Hello dear. Final stage has came. This might be last time I see you. There is one last wish as Slytherin King that I want you to obey"
Pansy:"I will do anything for you Hadrian, you know it."
Hadrian:"Once Lucifer get hold of me, I don't know what will happen. But no matter what I want you to lead Fangs of shadow with others. Let them fear power of my second in command. Be magnificent, Be happy, Be yourself, don't bow to Dark Lord no matter what"
Pansy:"You can count on me, Hadrian"
Hadrian pressed kiss on her forehead:"I know I can."

Fifth he called Draco and Hermione together.
Hadrian:"Hi finally day has come"
Draco:"Are you sure this is only way?"
Hermione:"Please think about it again"
Hadrian:"There is no other way. You know I love and trust you both. Be Powerful. Don't waste my sacrifice on crying in my name. You have to finish Dark Lord ones and for all. As soon as Neville finishes Nagini, Dark Lord will be nothing but shell. If he can't then it's your duty to finish Nagini off. Also Sirius Black will be your common point of communication with Order and Ministry. Inform him whatever you feel is right to increase security. He will keep your identity and our group information secret so you can play safe until time comes."
Both nodded knowing there is no point in arguing. They gave Hadrian hug before leaving.

Then he called Blaize.
Hadrian:"Hi Blaize, Time has come. My father has given me time till tomorrow. I trust only you to accompany me tomorrow. I will do ritual at same place tomorrow night, will leave in early morning to prepare for it"
Blaize:"What you want me to do?"
Hadrian:"Just stay with me while I bring father to earth. I don't know what will happen to me as we had argument few days ago. I want you to convince him to forgive me"
Blaize with doubtful eyes:"Why me?"
Hadrian Laughed:"Because if I ask Draco to do so, he won't be able to say a thing in fear. Hermione and Pansy on the other hand might piss Father by giving him lecture. So that leaves me with only option: you"
Blaize nodded thinking it's logical conclusion. 

Lastly he called Luna,
Hadrian:"Any last advice my dark Oracle"
Luna:" Death is nothing but beginning of starting of new journey. Don't be sad my king. You choose right. I will accompany you on the path tonight. My assistance will be required for final step."
Hadrian nodded knowing perfectly well there is no point in arguing with girl who knows future.
