Some of these votes are from followers at my school. Not all of them are from Wattpad, so sorry for any confusion! These are the votes so far, but I'll keep updating this and the next chapter should decide his main animal.

"Hadrian." Death said cautiously. Hadrian, in his dementor form, didn't move at all, not taking his eyes off the mirror.

"Hadrian." Salazar said after Death, worried about his heir.

"Hadrian!" Death finally yelled, throwing Hadrian out of his shock.

"What?" Hadrian tried asking, only for whispy sounds to come out.

"You okay?" Death replied. He seemed to understand the language that Hadrian had spoken in, though, he was death, so it was only natural.

"Oh, I don't know, it's not like I just found out that I can turn into fear and death itself!" Hadrian sarcastically replied in that whispy sound.

"Hey, it's not that bad. Now you can talk to the dementors that are here." Death said in a happy voice. Hadrian glared at the man, and tried to turn back to his usual self. As he did though, he felt something pushing him to change into something else. He didn't know which one though, so he continued with returning.

Back as his usual self, Hadrian left the chamber and went back to the dorm, finishing his homework. He ended up helping Draco along the way, leading Draco to ask questions since they were alone.

"How do you know so much?" He asked.

"I'm smart." Hadrian replied dully.

"How are you so smart?"

"I pay attention in class, unlike you."

"Ya, but we don't actually learn things, so where did you learn?" Draco kept pestering.

"Draco. Shut up and do your work." Hadrian growled.

"But-"

"Draco!" Hadrian finally snapped. "Where's that self preservation of yours? Or is it all daddy's orders?" He said. Draco looked at him wide eyed, and nodded, looking back at his homework.

"My father just wants to know more about you, since he had never heard of the Riddles before, except for one person that he said was terrifying and most definitely wasn't related to you. Of course-"

"Crucio!"

Performing the Unforgivables on an actual human being was more exhilarating than he had originally thought it would be. The feeling of power that flowed through him as he watched Draco writhe on the floor felt so good, he could do it forever. But of course, Dumbledore just had to tell that someone had performed the Cruciatus Curse by Hogwarts, and come rushing to the dorms.

Sensing the old man coming, Hadrian used a spell to erase the history of the curse and instead broke a few vases with the bombarda curse and stupify. When Dumbledore ran through the door with Snape and McGonaggal in tow, he was already on the floor with Draco, tears in his eyes as he tried to wake the boy up.
