The Real Boy Who Lived

When the screen turned back on everyone was on the edge of their sits.

"Good morning, father." A voice said. The voice stepping into the dining room, revealing Hadrian Riddle.

Everyone looked at the screen with wide eyes before looking at Hadrian off screen. They looked back and forth two more times, still not believing it.

"You're the Dark Lord's son?!"

"Oh my god!"

"How did none of us figure it out?"

"I was right. You are just as attractive!"

"How did nobody know?!"

A few people in the audience nodded though, thinking that it made sense after they looked back at their interactions with Hadrian.

The whispers went on for a few more minutes before a screech was heard.

"I knew you were evil! It makes sense the Dark Lord is your father!" Ron said, glaring at Hadrian. Hermione stood up and nodded along with Ron. "We really shouldn't be surprised. You are extremely vile."

Both Ron and Hermione expected Hadrian to start crying or whine. What they didn't expect was for him to smirk and start laughing. "So what if I'm evil? All the fun people are."

The Slytherins simitamously gave Ron and Hermione a smirk.

When Ron and Hermione were going to open their mouth again, someone spoke. "Would you two idiots sit down? Some of us would like to continue watching." It was Jess Marrin, the Ravenclaw from earlier.

Ron and Hermione glared at the Ravenclaw but stopped when they saw the Ravenclaw was unaffected. They huff as they sit down.

When Hadrian sat down at the table, Tom gave him another smile. "How did you sleep?" Hadrian chuckled. His father always liked making sure he was happy and comfortable. Every morning he asked and every morning the answer was the same. "I slept perfectly, what about you?"

"I had a wonderful sleep. Now, eat your breakfast. We have plans today." Tom said before putting even more food on Hadrian's already filled plate.

Lucius chuckled. The ruthless Dark Lord was always sweet when it came to his child.

Many Hufflepuffs let out awwws and coos. The Slytherins were giving Hadrian teasing smirks. Hadrian ignored them as he noticed Draco smirking at him. In response, he just huffed and rolled his eyes before flipping him off.

Bellatrix, who had left the room earlier, entered the room with Narcissa by her side.

She snorted as she heard Lucius chuckling. Knowing what he was thinking, she decided to poke fun,"I hope youaren't laughing dear Lucy. We both know you are much worse."

Hadrian and Daphne loudly snorted at the nickname.

A man in the shadows scoffed in rolled his eyes as the woman across from him cackled.

Lucius rolled his eyes at the name before scoffing. "I am not worse."

Hadrian raised an eyebrow at the man, looking at him skeptically. "Really? When me and Draco were eight, Draco fell out of his chair—which was less than two feet off the ground— and landed on his bottom. You immediately took him off the floor and wrapped him up in dozens of quilts. You then gave him multiple ice packs because—" Hadrian sits up straighter before doing an impression of Lucius "He could be very bruised." Hadrian said with his chest puffed out, looking like he was doing an impression of a peacock.

Lucius scowls at the impression while Narcissa and Tom let out chuckles, and Bellatrix cackles. Their laughter increased when Hadrian continued. "After making sure he was covered in ice packs you promised to buy him a toy broom because and I quote, "My poor dragon was so hurt."— Hadrian rolled his eyes, "He was perfectly fine and wasn't even crying."

Lucius openedand closed his mouth but he couldn't think of anything to say.

All that could be heard in the theater was the sound of laughter.

Realizing that he couldn't win against the child, he turned to his lovely and loyal wife. "Tell him. I am not worse!"

Instead of answering him, Narcissa covered her mouth and looked away, trying not to laugh.

This made Tom, Bellatrix, and Hadrian laugh more.

Lucius, and he will deny this for the rest of his life, started pouting at the four of them.

"Well in my defense. Draco is a good son and he deserves to be treated with love."

This time everyone was letting out awwws because of Draco and Lucius. Hadrian smirked and turned to Draco, noticing his red cheeks. Draco, repeating what Hadrian did before, huffed and flipped him off. The Slytherin's laughed at the two of them.

Once the laughter stopped, Bellatrix and Narcissa sat down and started eating. 

When Hadrian finished eating and the table was cleared off, Tom handed him something. "A letter." Hadrian thought as he took it. "Why is he giving me a letter?"  Although he got his answer a moment later when he read the front.

Mr. H Riddle
The Largest Bedroom
Unplotted Land
Slytherin Castle

Hadrian looked at the letter in surprise. He had completely forgotten. He gave his father a big smile.

Many people looked at the screen in shock, they had never seen Hadrian smile. Smirking, yes. Smiling, never!

Two people glared at a few of the students that were blushing. "Hadrian isn't allowed to date."

Tom chuckled at his son.

When Hadrian focuses on something he sometimes forgets about the world around him. Tom had made sure that Hadrian would be occupied so that when the letter came, he would be surprised. He wanted this to be a magical experience for his son.

Hadrian gave his father on screen a soft smile.

"Go on and open it." He said as he ruffled his son's hair. Hadrian was too focused on the letter to be angry at him for ruining his hair.
