Chapter Text
Every coin has two sides
Hadrian James Potter was always a well-mannered child. He was down to earth nature allowed people to relax easily. It didn’t matter if he was rumored to have done horrible things. Everybody saw him as a polite and likable young man. He started primary school at the same time as his cousin. Yet he finished his final year as the top of his class at age seven. All his teachers congratulate his aunt and uncle on how wonderful he was to teach.
“He is amazingly smart.”
“You must be so proud.”
“I’m so jealous.”
“He is a wonderful student.”
Every sentence involving Hadrian had amazing or wonderful in it, but he was smart and knew to take the compliments like a grain of salt.
Dudley was another story entirely. He was rude to both student and teacher. When this attitude was pointed out it would stop for a few days but would continue the moment teacher turned there back. Not to mention he wasn’t turning in his homework and if he did it was wrong.
“He needs extra help.”
“I know some tutor willing to help him.”
“He needs to study more.”
“He is rude and will be punished.”
“Why not ask Hadrian to help Mr. Dursley study.”
Many teachers offered to help him after school or even during summer school because Hadrian asked them to. Dudley wasn’t smart in school but that doesn’t mean he was dumb. In fact, Dudley had enough sense to keep his mouth shut when he saw Hadrian do something that was considered bad. It was the only reason Hadrian thought his cousin was worth keeping around.
The Dursleys nodded seriously, looking just like worried yet proud parents before returning home. It took the bruises months to heal but it was worth it to see how angry they were. It was easy to get the Dursleys to show their true colors. Vernon couldn’t help leaving a bruise on Hadrian and neither could Dudley. They always had something nasty to say and didn’t seem to learn how to keep things to themselves even after the police were called. Dudley like his father was too dense to stop hit Hadrian but learn fast with the help of his mother.
“Freak stop looking at me.”
“It's your fault Dudley is failing.”
“No one wants you here leave.”
His aunt was the only one he could stand in the house. She was smart and knew hurting him was a waste of time because at one point he was going to hurt them back.
When he turned eight his aunt left Vernon and gain custody of Dudley after the court realized how much of a bad influencer Vernon was.
“Pet why I love you.” He grips her hand before she could leave the courtroom.
“You are to leave us alone Vernon. I don’t want you influencing Dudley anymore.” Grabbing it back she walks through the building straight to the exit.
“But Pet he’s my son. He needs me in his life.” Following behind the hurt clear in his voice but there was also a speck of rage in there.
“He will be fine without you.” She turns to leave.
“What will you do about the bills. You can’t pay for the house and car by yourself.” He smiles believing he got her.
“I have a job and it pays well. Goodbye Vernon.” She cuts on the car and drives away leaving him for good.
Vernon was furious and couldn’t understand why she left him. For months he drunk himself to near death, having lost his job just a little after the divorce he had nothing. It was only when looking at a dirty rumbled up newspaper did he find an answer.
Harry Potter makes perfect scores on national tests.
Right underneath the photo showed Harry, Dudley, and Petunia smiling happily. At that moment he lost it. People watched him scream and yell on the street corner. They rushed passed him but getting go looks of him to report to the police later.
That night he broke into his old home. It was easy for a man of his sizes.
“Vernon what are you doing here” Petunia sounded scared but stood her ground.
“Give me the boy.” He sounded deranged but knew if he killed the evil child that took his wife and child he would get them back.
“Vernon gets out of my house I already called the police.” She stepped up him and slammed a vase on the side table into his head. He hits the ground while she starts to run upstairs. he grabs her ankle pulling her down. She screams kicks and punches until he punches her one good time in the temple. She slowly closes her eyes as Vernon stand up over her and move ahead.
He slowly climbs the stairs. He was so out of it he didn’t even check to see if Dudley was in his room before entering Harry’s domain.
You couldn’t call it a bedroom. There was no bed in sight just two large dark oak bookcases and a soft gray rug. With a sleek black armchair set in front of a fireplace.
“Hello, Uncle Vernon.” He spoke so sweetly Vernon almost stopped with his plan, but he continued. Grabbing the boy by his arm he swung the rusty blade down and.
There is another side of Harry that only a few know of. The few being the Malfoy family and Petunia. The dark side of Harry is cold and vicious. He holds many sinful lives in the palm of his hand and enjoys terrorizing them. He isn’t afraid of killing to get what he wants but he still has morals. He will never hit a woman because he has women to do that for him. He will never strike a child because they don’t know better. He will never kill for the fun of it. He will just make you wish you had never been born. Hadrian isn’t a bad person, he is just a person who does bad things to help others. Like they say good ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Petunia was smart and knew Hadrian was dangerous. She learned after years of living with the boy it was a waste of time lying to him, so she didn’t. She was terrified of him but only for Dudley’s sake and knew the only way to save her son was to abandon her husband. So, with a heavy heart, she did, and things got better. Hadrian didn’t glare at her or Dudley as much anymore. He helped in paying for the house. He even helped Dudley with his homework to help her out. He was the just as everyone said amazing and it took her too long to see it. At her final breath, she truly did regret hurting him. Now going back a little.
When Harry had started Primary school, he would walk to school by himself and he walked home by himself after library close this was his daily routine. It changed one day after getting a new student. This new student didn’t stay long. While he was there he and Hadrian’s scored equally in everything. His platinum blonde hair made him an easy target for bullying but after showing how much money he had, no one attempted to bully him after the first day. Even Dudley was smart enough to want to befriend this strange kid, but he wanted nothing to do with Dudley. Instead, he was focused on wanting to gain Hadrian’s friendship.
“Hello, I am Draco Malfoy” He hands outstretched with a smirk on his face “Would you like to be friends?” The boy looked down at Hadrian waiting for an answer.
“No” the blunt answer he got back made his eyes widen but just for a moment.
“Why not” the hand still in front of him like he would change his mind.
“Because I’m not about to waste my time on pointless friendship” He stands to walk back to class. “I have things to do and playing hide and seek with a rich boy isn’t one of them.” Hadrian laughs at this part of the memory every time he thinks about it.
“I’ll pay you.” That was all it took to make Hadrian question the boy’s sanity until. “Besides wouldn’t it be fun to rub it in your cousin’s face. Hey, I became friends with the one kid that’s not afraid of you.” His smirk is still going strong. “And wouldn’t it be nice to get out of these filthy rags clothing.”
Hadrian looks down realizing the spoiled prat had a point. Why shouldn’t he use what was given to him? This little prat wants to be friends with him, wants to buy him thing, wants to pay him.
“Why” He shivered at glee and victory in the boy’s eyes.
“Because you seem interesting.” He grabs Hadrian’s hand and walks into the schoolhouse.
Draco left later that year and Hadrian thought that would be it of their strange and sadistic friendship. Don’t get it twisted. They never hurt each other oh, no it was everyone else that suffered. Students would fail every assignment given to them if they cheat off Hades. The student would find themselves lost in the woods behind the school if they spread rumors of Hades. Students would find themselves covered in self-inflicted bruises if they hurt Hades. They learned very fast never to mess with Hadrian and Draco.
When Draco left nothing change if you hit Hadrian, lie about Hadrian, cheat off Hadrian then you where punished. Even without the Malfoy in school, Hadrian was still protected. Hadrian would meet Draco at the park every day after school. From there they would rider to Draco’s home to be tutored by Draco’s tutors. They would then be giving their days assignments by his father.
Lucius Malfoy was a cruel man and he knew it. He also knew he would never be cruel to his future wife and child from a young age. He learns he would never be cruel to those he deemed friends. Even now he is learning because he knows he will never be cruel to the boy who lived to annoys us’s twin. Even if he wanted to. When his son brought that boy home for the first time he knew he couldn’t do it. From the look in that child's eyes, it screamed power.
So, he decided to raise and train this child up alongside his own son to see what happens. On a random day, Lucius got a smart idea. Calling the boys into his office he passed them both sheets of paper and explained what they were.
“Boys I have taught you the art of business but there are something you can’t learn from books. So, I am giving you both one business each and I want you to make money from them and keep them running for as long as you can.” The nod their heads. Draco stays to ask his advice, but Hades had already left. He didn’t expect much and was surprised when the Dark Lord told him to locate the owner of the pink playhouse.
“My lord if I may ask what is it that you want with the Pink playhouse.” Lucius was surprised and proud to admit who owned it. He rushes to the manor to prepared Hadrian to meet the Dark Lord. At the meeting, both Lucius and Narcissa are proud of both boys as they stood tall like pureblood heirs.
“You two own the business. I am surprised that children are the owners of the establishment but what really surprises me as to who the co-owner is.” The Dark Lord focuses on Hadrian most of the night, but Draco doesn’t act out. He instead sits there and thinks.
[even if he is focused on my Hades it doesn’t matter because he is mine.]
Narcissa was tearing at the eye as she watched the child she nurtured for three years meet her lord. At first, she was fearful that he would be killed but as time went on and Tom allowed both boys to speak freely she knew they would be alright. Sitting at the grand table she couldn’t help but reflect on the first day she met him.
“Draco who is this child?” she winces at how unflattering he looks.
“This is Hadrian Potter mother,” Draco smirks waiting for his mother to catch on.
“I see well before you attend those lessons I believe Hadrian needs a bath and a change of clothing. She picks him up and carries him to a guest quarter. She quickly places him in a bath before he could fight her. By the time she is done he is red-faced, embarrasses and happy.
“These are clothing I had a house elf pick out for you. You may keep them if you wish Draco can’t stand wearing anything grey anymore.” She wipes a fake tear from her eye as she helps Hadrian get dressed in the robes.
“Thank you, Mrs. Malfoy.” He stares up at her dissatisfied face.
“Perhaps I should add etiquette lessons as well.” She walks him to the library. “I will be teaching you some pureblood etiquette so don’t leave after your lessons.”
“Yes ma’am” he nods as she walks away. After a month of visiting the Malfoy, Lady Malfoy had gotten him a completely new wardrobe and he was looking healthy. By the time his birthday had come around he had everything he could ever need and want.
“Hades please don’t hide from me. If you want your hair to look presentable then we need to do this every single day until it is. He grumbled as he walked from his hiding spot. “I just checked over there where were you hiding.” She got a giggle as a reply. “Fine don’t tell me I’ll just ask Draco.”
“He doesn’t know either.” He giggled even harder as she picked him up. It took almost two years to get his hair under his control. He would style his curly locks in a low ponytail.
“Lucius I think Hadrian might be related to the black side of the family.” She sat at his desk.
“What makes you think that.” He puts the files away to listen to his wife.
“On many occasions, I will see a bit of Bella in him. Like last night Draco and Hadrian were playing tag I think and Hadrian rushed around he a corner fast and I saw a bit of Bella in his eyes. “
“Does that worry you.” She nods.
“Bella started to lose herself in the Black Madness around this time and no one saw it. I just want to make sure we don’t make that same mistake with Hades.
“Of course, dear I will call for a med witch to come to check on him.” She smiled kissing her husband happy that he understood her worry.
She smiled even harder as they left Slytherin Manor with there lord praises. Yes, she was on top of the world when they dropped Hades off at the Dursley oh she meant Evans.
