Meetings and Discovery's

                                    

                                          
Hadrian sighed softly as he stood up. Today was the day he, along with his parents, Rueben and Marcus, would meet with a few former members of the Order to discuss what would go on for the time being. It made him nervous.
As far as he knew, they were Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Nymphadora Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and Hestia Jones.  He was nervous at seeing Sirius and Remus. He hadn't seen either since before the fourth year. 
As he walked out of his room, he was met with the body of his Fiancé. 
"Are you alright, Love?" Marcus asks as he hugs him. 
"Just worried at what Sirius and Remus will say. I do love them as if they were my Uncles, but.." 
"But your family comes first." Marcus finished kindly. "I understand. We all do. If they don't accept who you are, where you come from, or love you as you are, then they are idiots."


They chose to meet in Gringotts, neutral ground, kind of. The Goblins did favor the Dark but didn't help them. They honored their word of staying neutral. 
"Thank you for meeting us," Remus said, taking the lead. 
Remus, Sirius, Kingsley, Tonks, and Hestia sat on one side of the long table, with Severus, Tom, Reuben, Marcus, and Hadrian on the other. 
"Thank my Son. Otherwise, I wouldn't have." Tom said snidely. "He cares a great deal for you lot. It was his words that convinced me to meet with you all. Give me a reason to believe you lot."
Hadrian looked to see Sirius, and Remus looked at him with a smile. The same smile that he would receive as Harry Potter. Giving a small smile back to satisfy them before watching them turn back to his Father. He felt Marcus give his hand a small squeeze.
The meeting went on for another hour before it was concluded. It was decided that they would join the outer circle except for Sirius and Remus, who would join Hadrian's own circle. He wanted to talk to them longer with Marcus. So his parents hugged him and kissed his head before glaring at Remus and Sirius as they left.
"I wanted to talk to you about how things typically go with my inner circle. I have nine other members in my inner circle. They are my right hands, Draco Malfoy and Ronald Weasley. My left hands, Hermione Ravenclaw and Luna Lovegood. My scribe, Hydrus Lestrange. My ins on the going ons, Daphne Greengrass and Blaise Zabini. Finally, my pranksters, Fred and George Weasley." He watched as the two before him looked surprised. "They aren't the only Weasleys. Bill is my negotiator with the Goblins. Fleur is my negotiator with the Veelas. Charlie is my negotiator with the Dragon Tamers and Romanian Ministry. Percy is my eyes and ears in the ministry. Arthur is my eyes and ears in the order. I also have other outer circle members. For example, Viktor Krum is my eyes and ears and negotiator for both the Bulgarian Ministry and international  Quidditch teams." 
"You have made connections," Remus stated with a nod.
"I had to. It is how I became the Grey Lord. It has nothing to do with my ideals, by the way." Hadrian states. "It's because my core is grey. Now, I..I am sorry for hiding it from you both..."
He watched as Sirius immediately moved to sit next to him. The Grimm animagus took his free hand in both of his while locking their eyes together. 
"Do not apologize, Hadrian. You did what you believed was safest for you! Remus nor I will ever fault you for that. In fact, I am proud that you chose your safety first and foremost. It's one Slytherin quality I can admire most. You may not be my godson, but I still consider you family. I will always be here for you, Hadrian." 
Hadrian teared up as he hugged Sirius tightly. Marcus watched on with a smile as Remus made his way around and hugged the other two. Minutes passed before the group pulled apart. Hadrian stood with Marcus and held his hand. 
"You two, be careful," Hadrian ordered softly.
"Of course," Remus said softly. "You do so as well, Hadrian." 

Returning back to Hogwarts was tiring. He was not ready to deal with Parkinson, who started bullying Luna, Vince, and Greg. Therefore she had to be punished. She needed to realize he was the Dark Prince. Her superior in every single way. To harm his inner circle, his friends, was to harm him. Something he would never stand for. 
So as he stood in front of the entirety of Slytherin, a good portion of Ravenclaw, nearly all of Hufflepuff, and a handful of Gryffindor, he made her kneel in front of him. His eyes piercing hers angrily before tossing her to the side. 
"I want Cho Chang. NOW!" He yells angrily. 
Luna smiled softly at him as the two Ravenclaws under her in the new hierarchy nodded and immediately went to find Chang. He looked at the wizards and witches in front of him and calms slightly. 
"Pansy Parkinson is now forbidden from being associated with. Let it be known that she betrayed the Dark, her Lord and her Prince. She, and her family, are forever outcasted. Anyone who's family is in the Dark who continues to associate with the Parkinson family will be seen a traitors as well. For those whose family is not Dark, I believe we must not worry but incase the Parkinson's find refuse with the neutral or light, you will not be charged for your family's sin." 
As he finished he watched as Cho Chang was dragged in while seeming to be screaming. However he could not hear her causing him to smirk. He nodded to the two Ravenclaws before they shoved her in front of him on the ground. 
Slowly he kneeled in front of her. His eyes flashing angrily and looked illuminating as he looked into her eyes. He grabs her chin harshly. 
"You have been told information to be told to Dumbledore. What information does he have?" 
"He..he knows your inner c-circle...and the d-dark l-lords..." 
Hadrian curses throwing her to the side as well. He looks to his inner circle worriedly. 
"I must contact my Father. Be careful. No one leaves the common rooms without a friend or someone of the Dark. Am I understood?" He received nods before rushing to his dorm and pulling out the two-way mirror. "Dad!" 
"Hadrian?" Tom asks worriedly from his desk. "What's wrong?" 
"You need to tell the inner circle to be prepared for raids! Parkinson and her bloody family betrayed us! Her and Cho Chang told Dumbles our inner circles." 
"Any exceptions?" Tom asks worriedly. 
"Siri and Remy since they were just added today. Otherwise, no. Go! I'll be alright. I'll go find Papa." Hadrian says quickly before hanging up, which left no room for argument, and heading to his Papa's quarters.
