Return of the Dark Lord
Hadrian’s POV -
The next day, Hadrian and his friends went to the seventh floor and followed the Dark Lord’s instructions to get to the Room of Requirement. Hadrian went back and forth three times thinking of the diadem. Eventually, a door appeared. Blaise whistled.
Hadrian, Draco, and Theo entered the room first. Followed by the rest of the Slytherins. Inside, was a room cluttered with items.
“It going to take ages to find diadem,” Pansy complained.
“You have to admit though, it is quite clever to hide it in a room full of clutter,” Daphne said softly. Millicent and Tracy nodded.
“Come on guys, we have a diadem to find. Tracy, Millicent, take the left side of the room starting as far as you can get from the door. Pansy, Daphne, you two will take the left side starting as close as you can get to the door. Theo, Blaise, take the right side, farthest from the door. Vincent, Greg, you two will start closest to the door. Draco, you and I will search through the middle. Remember, it's a diadem with a blue crystal in the center. If you're not sure if it’s a blue crystal, take it anyway. If you need help, just yell. Everyone should be able to hear you. If you find it, send up red sparks and we’ll meet back here. If we don’t find it, let's meet back here in about an hour,” Hadrian said. They all nodded and started searching through the room.
~30 minutes later~
“Hadrian, are you sure that we’ll find the diadem? What if someone took it? What if we can’t find it?” Draco asked.
“If someone took it, then that's the Dark Lord’s fault for not hiding it well enough. If we can’t find it, the Dark Lord will come here and find it himself,” Hadrian said. Hadrian looked up, and down, and side to side. Still no sign of the diadem. Hadrian kept searching through the room. He saw something shine just out of his eye. It was on top of a dresser, on a bust of a head. A diadem with a dark blue stone in the center.
“Draco!” Hadrian called out. Draco turned around and rushed to Hadrian’s side.
“Is that it?” Draco asked. Hadrian nodded.
“I think so,” Hadrian said. Hadrian sent up red sparks and the duo started to head back to the entrance of the room. The rest of the Slytherins were already there when the duo got there.
“So, you have it?” Blaise asked. Hadrian nodded and handed the diadem to him. Blaise took it and stared at it. Pansy looked over his shoulder and stared at it as well.
“Wow,” she whispered. Hadrian took it back.
“Draco, you have the diary, right?” Hadrian asked. Draco nodded. “Okay, let's go to the DADA classroom. The rest of you should start to make your way down to the Great Hall. There shouldn’t be any classes since dinner is-” Hadrian cast *Tempus*. The clock showed the time was 5:30 pm. “only a half hour away. We will meet back up with you guys in the Great Hall.” Hadrian put the diadem in his bag. They all nodded and Hadrian and Draco went towards the DADA classroom.
Hadrian and Draco went down 2 flights of stairs before being on the 2nd floor, the floor where the DADA classroom was located. The duo stopped when they saw several Gryffindors approaching them.
“Oh, would you look who it is! Slimy snakes walking around without their friends. Did they finally see you for the traitor you are?” Weasley snarled. Hadrian looked at Draco, who was unimpressed.
“At least I’m not a filthy blood traitor like yourself Weasley,” Draco said. Weasley grew red. Behind him were 2 older kids as well as Finnigan and Granger.
“Come on Harry, we need to go to the Headmaster. I’m sure he will gladly resort you into your rightful house! Then we can all be friends, and I’ll help you with your homework,” Granger said.
“Why would I need help with my homework from you? Last I checked, you were ranked 6th out of all the first years,” Hadrian said.
“No, I’m not! I’m ranked first!” Granger yelled.
“Come on Harry, let's go play exploding snap! Or Wizard’s chess,” Weasley said before walking towards Hadrian.
“First and foremost, my name is Hadrian Peverell-Potter. Also, Weasley, your presence is as enjoyable as a wet pair of socks,” Hadrian said. Weasley turned even more red.
“HOW DARE YOU! *Diff-”
“That enough Mr. Weasley!” Quriell said interrupting the spell. “50 points from Gryffindor for attempting to attack another student. 20 points from each of you Gryffindors for not trying to stop him.” The older Gryffindors looked down in shame.
Granger sputtered. “But sir-”
“Enough, Detention with Flich for 2 months Mr. Weasley. Now, all of you Grffindors, to the Great Hall,” Quriell said. They all nodded and left. Weasley was muttering about snakes or something like that. After they left, Hadrian and Draco were led to Quriell’s office. His eyes turned red.
“I presume, you have the items I requested,” the Dark Lord said. The duo nodded. They pulled the diary and the diadem out of their respective bags and placed them on the desk. The Dark Lord nodded and inspected the items. “These will do. I will contact Lucius about finding a ritual to get my body back. Then, I suppose we can make a formal alliance between ourselves,” the Dark Lord said. Hadrian nodded.
“When are you planning on doing the ritual?” Hadrian asked.
“Depending on what is required, I would like to do it Spring Break,” the Dark Lord said. Hadrian nodded.
“Malfoy Manor?” Hadrian asked. The Dark Lord nodded. Hadrian turned to Draco. “Would your father mind if I came over?” Draco shook his head. Turning back to the Dark Lord, Hadrian asked “Will Tuesday be a good day?”
“Yes, that should be fine,” the Dark Lord said. Hadrian nodded and left the office to go to the Great Hall for dinner. That night, he and Draco filled in the rest of the Slytherins.
~Who knows how long later~
Hadrian got on the train for Spring break. The Dark Lord got a body two days ago because the ritual Lucius found needed a full moon. Now, the Dark Lord, Hadrian, and Lord Malfoy had to find a way to get him a new name and more stuff.
Hadrian was going to be flooing home with the Malfoys so they could sort out the Dark Lord’s new identity. Apparently, the Dark Lord wanted Hadrian a part of the process since he was an ally and already had made big waves in the Wizengamot.
After the train ride, Hadrian and Draco flooed to Malfoy Manor where they met Lord Malfoy and the Dark Lord. Draco went up to his room to unpack while Hadrian joined the Dark Lord in his study along with Lord Malfoy.
“So, have you picked out a name yet?” Hadrian asked.
“Marvolo Marvin Slytherin,” Slytherin said. “Both you and Lucius should call me Marvolo though. Hadrian nodded.
“Speaking of which, Hadrian, feel free to call me Lucius,” Lucius added.
“Did you go to Gringotts to get an inheritance test?” Hadrian asked.
“No, why?” Marvolo asked.
“You might be the heir to more lines than you know. Also, I am currently Lord Slytherin,” Hadrian said.
“How!?” Lucius exclaimed.
“My mother was a muggleborn descendant from your line I presume,” Hadrian said. Marvolo nodded.
“Lucius set up a private meeting with the Goblins for tonight,” Marvolo said. Lucius nodded and left the room in a hurry.
~That night~
Marvolo, Lucius, and Hadrian all flooed to Gringotts and went to a goblin named Ragnor’s office. He was the Slytherin account manager.
“May your gold ever flow, I would like to get an inheritance test done,” Marvolo said.
“May your coffers never empty, 3 drops of blood on the paper,” Ragnor said.

“I would like to claim all available titles,” Marvolo said. Ragnor nodded and pulled out 4 boxes.
“Wait, 4 boxes? But I’m Lord Slytherin?” Hadrian said. Marvolo and Lucius turned to him in shock.
“How are you, Lord Slytherin?” Lucius asked.
“I assume it’s due to my mother being a squib from that line,” Hadrian said.
“As for Lord Slytherin and you being Lord Slytherin, in the House charter, it states that if there are two candidates eligible for the Lordship, they automatically share the title. Unless you have issues with this?” Ragnor explained. Marvolo and Hadrian looked at each other before shaking their heads.
“Now, for the rings. The first is the Slytherin ring. Their motto is ‘Si vis pacem para bellum’ which is Latin for ‘If you wish for peace, prepare for war.’ Next is the Emerys ring. Their motto is ‘Mundus est plenus magicae’ or ‘the world is full of magic’. The one after that is the Gaunt ring. Their motto is ‘Astu colubri’ or ‘with the cunning of a snake’. Finally, there is the Pernell ring. Their motto is ‘Omnia possum petere pacem’ or ‘all I can ask for is peace’.” Ragnor said. Marvolo put all of the rings on. After that, they all left and went back to their respective homes. Marvolo to Slytherin Manor, Lucius to Malfoy Manor, and Hadrian to Grimmauld Place.
~The next day~
Hadrian met up with Lucius and Marvolo again. This time to discuss the Wizengamot session happening the next day.
“Are you going to claim all of the seats?” Hadrian asked Marvolo.
Marvolo nodded. “I want to see the look on Dumbledore’s face when I claim the seats. Also, since I will be moving them to the Dark faction out of dormant, that means the Neutral faction will lose the Chief Warlock seat. Is that alright with you?”
Hadrian nodded. “I think I will join you for this Wizengamot session.” Lucius and Marvolo nodded.
“Marvolo, I was reading the Slytherin charter. I think I found out why you died the night you tried to attack me. It states in the charter that underaged heir cannot be attacked by any members of the house,” Hadrian said.
“So when I attack you…” Marvolo started.
“The founding charter must have activated,” Hadrian said.
“And since you got emancipated…” Lucius started.
“We were both eligible for the Lordship thus changing it to a Co-Lordship,” Marvolo said. Hadrian nodded.
“Well, the next Wizengamot session is going to be interesting, to say the least,” Lucius said with a smirk.
Hadrian got up, “I promised Draco we would go flying today. Please excuse me.” Hadrian left for the fields after changing into flying robes. Hadrian looked around for Draco.
“Hadrian, over here by the shed!” Draco shouted. Hadrian saw Draco and went towards the sheds.
“My father got me the new Nimbus 2000 for Christmas. There are more brooms in the shed. Pick your favorite. I was thinking we could play a seekers game,” Draco said. Hadrian nodded and picked up a broom in the shed.
“Sure, we can play a seekers game if you want. I’ll release the snitch and we go after 3?” Hadrian asked. Draco nodded. The duo mounted their brooms and Hadrian released the snitch before Draco counted to three.
“One, two, three!”
“Got it!” Hadrian declared. Draco stared at him.
“Wow! You’re fast,” Draco said, looking at him star-struck. Hadrian went back down to the ground and dismounted his broom. Draco did the same. “We should do this more often.” Hadrian nodded. “Want to see my room?” Hadrian nodded.
