Master of Death

Chapter 32

Finally Dark Lord had it enough after waiting for one and half month; he decided to attack for final battle. He can't wait for Dumbledore or Dark boy-who-lived return who knows what they will bring with them. He still remembers the boy when he easily killed his possessed body and the boy bares mark of cain which makes him Prince of Darkness. He is not strong enough to face that kind of powerful enemy and above all there is prophecy. Also what is taking them this long? He ordered one group to attack ministry, Lestrange brothers and Lucius happily took part in that group and Second group including Bellatrix with him to attack Hogwarts.

As Hadrian ordered, Fangs of Shadows came forward to protect students along with Professors. Order started fighting on outside grounds along with some creatures that Hagrid asked for help. Aurors are fighting at Ministry with Death Eaters. At some time when no one was looking, Lucius and Lestrange brothers' apparted from ministry premises to forbidden forest. They just wanted to be there so they can see what's going on and can interfere when it comes to their children's life. At that point they didn't care who wins as long as their children are safe.

When Dark Lord started dueling with Sirius Black and Moody, he released Nagini to attack student inside castle. Bellatrix along with some Death eaters succeeded in entering Castle behind Nagini. All generals came first to start fighting death eaters. Neville, Draco and Hermione looked at snake and started attacking her from all direction. With the help of sword Neville finally cut her off when she was about to attack Draco from behind while Draco was dueling with some death eater. Cedric jumped in middle when Elder Carrow cast killing curse towards Hermione and he died saving her.

Dark Lord got weak for few moments but gained strength by taking powers from Dark marks of his followers. When order got defeated with death of most members, Dark Lord got news that ministry is down. Dark Lord ordered his death eaters to stop and started walking towards castle with his forces.

Dark Lord: "Everyone surrender, I give you chance to save your life. Order and Ministry is down. Your Hero Potter and Old fool have run away in my fear. There are no signs of them. They can't save you, only I can decide your fate. Surrender and bow down or loose your life."

Every student just froze in their place. Lucius and Lestrange brother sneakily joined other death eaters.

Dark Lord looked towards Draco: "Ah young malfoy, why don't you start with bowing down"
Lucius: "My lord.."
Dark Lord gave him icy cold look.
Lucius:" Draco please do what Dark lord wishes for"
Draco with firm look:" Never.. I will never bow to anyone except Hadrian. I am ready to face death"
Hermion, Luna, Neville and Pansy said in unison: "We all are"
Other members stood behind them firmly in support.

Dark Lord with rage:" Very well. Such a waste of magical blood. Avada ."
Before he can complete statement there was huge voice and wind, death came in form of Hadrian's human form. And Dark Lord lost his tongue.
Hadrian:" I was never fond of Cheaters you know"
Member of Fangs of shadow and most Slytherins bow down.
Hadrian:" Rise warriors, I am delighted seeing your faith in your King. Now Let me answer your allegation Riddle. My time is precious than wasting it on some snake face."
Death eater gasped and some tried to raise their wand. Hadrian just clap his hand trapping them all (along with few who were in ministry) in cage without wand except Lucius and Lestarange brothers.
Hadrian:" You three go to your kids, I am happy with your decision. Now for Dumbledore well he can't actually run away as I killed him before leaving Hogwarts"
This time few alive members of order and teachers gasped but no one has energy or courage to raise wand.
Hadrian continued:" Smith come forward"
Zacharias come from trees where he was hiding.
Hadrian:" You see Voldy this is answer to your months of confusion."
Voldemort looked at Smith who gave him his knowing look which made him realize that this boy has almost 97% of his soul. That's why he felt loss of connection, but never felt it got destroyed.
Hadrian:" Now you got your answers, I am going to destroy you ones and for all. And this time you won't be able to come back ever."
He moved his hand and Voldy vanished. Death has transfer soul to hell and this almost 1% of true soul has to bear punishment of all crimes of his true self. Death thought 'Poor soul'.
Zacharias bowed and joined other students. Not bothering questioning look from many.
Hadrian:" I still have to go but I will be back soon. And you, Death eater don't try any funny business otherwise I will give you punishment that Azkaban/death will look better option. Enough blood has been spill whether you are Light or Dark or Grey don't try to create chaos. Remember how I crushed both of your leaders without my wand or any efforts. This is not warning, it's promise. Now, help all injured and then go back and spend time with your families and Children."

He released death eaters from cage. All did as asked and then apparted except Bellatrix who can't move from her place due to body bind. Death in form of Hadrian purposely showed part of his hand in Blaize direction to show he doesn't have mark anymore. Death got selection message from Hadrian in his head and thought 'Perfect timing master'.
 
Hadrian then called MALFOYs to come forward.
Hadrian: "Draco cast Privacy wards, will you?"
Draco nodded and cast spell around them.
Hadrian: "You are chosen to do great things but to do so you have to one very crucial task, after seeing me today without Mark of Cain Blaize will  inform his master. Lucifer will have no option but to posses someone and I strongly believe he will posses Blaize as he won't waste time in searching new body. Since it will be forceful possession you will be able to see signs like he will start behaving odd and getting pale/weak. As soon as you see him starting to change you have to capture him before Lucifer gain full control of boy. Put him in circle of Demon cage so he can't use or boy's power. I know your parents knows how to do so and what will be required to destroy devil so talk to them and be prepared."
He looked toward Narcissa and Lucius, both nodded.
Hadrian continued: "Ones you capture him, you have to keep him awake by any mean, don't let him go in deep sleep. So Lucifer can't escape the body using dreamland. Can you do that?"
Draco:"Yes but why me only?"
Hadrian with icy glare 'no bullshit talk mode': "other chosen ones have fulfilled one condition but you haven't, this is your chance to do so and prove you are worthy"
Draco didn't understand much but nodded not wanting to piss Hadrian and also desperate enough to not being himself considered worth less.
Hadrian: "Now drop wards"
Draco did it.
Hadrian: "Luna, Neville, Hermione you will be called when time comes along with Draco. As gift to your loyalty I am letting Bellatrix, Alice and Frank regain their sane mindset. Spend time with them."
Neville and Hermione both had happy tears in their eyes. They bowed to thank their king. With that Death vanished from there.
