As he read the first line of the letter, his eyes widened with shock and he dropped the letter.
Dear Mr. Potter,
Upon further inspection, you are called in for trail due to the misuse of magic in front of muggles, the hearing will start at 3pm on the 21st of November sharp. Please do not be late or your sentence will be decided without a hearing.
You would need a magically approved lawyer and at least one witness. As you should be very well aware, should it be proven that you were indeed using magic on the night of 6th of August in front of a female muggle in order to impress her, you would be sentence to 3 year in Azkaban, your wand broken and banished from the wizarding world until the date of your death. You would also not be able to inherit anything left to you, they would all go to your closest relatives.
The hearing would be held in room 731 and we will owl you if any of the above should change.
Best regards,
Cornelius Fudge
Minister of Magic
What in Merlin's Beard? I have never talked to a muggle in my entire life, and I would never betray the magic society like that.
Hadrian looked up from the letter, panicked and shocked. Even if he didn't do it, this could ruin his reputation! Hadrian took 7 deep breaths and count to ten. Even though his calm mask was perfectly in place, he still need to calm the raging storm inside his head. Hadrian was just about to write back when he realised the letter was signed by the Minister. But hold on a second, it is the misuse of magic department's job to write the letter to wizards that broke the law, not the minister of Magic! This means that someone is manipulating the minister...
"Hadrian, are you ok?" Nicholea asked.
"Yeah, Im all good"
If Dumbledore was hoping to get a reaction out of Hadrian, he would be disappointed because Hadrian just kept on eating his dinner like nothing out of the ordinary has happened.
That night after the Slytherins all came back to the common room, they settled themselves on the most comfortable sofas. The fire flickered in the fireplace as the clock on the mantelpiece clicked away, it was almost midnight. Hadrian sat by his friends as they rush to complete the next day's homework while chatting about nothing at all. His green eyes stared intensely into the fireplace, his thoughts already a thousand miles away, in a world of rage and darkness.
Dumbledore doesn't want him around, that's for sure. Hadrian had known it since the very beginning.
Dumbledore has made his first move by getting the minister of Magic to send Hadrian this accusative letter, and Hadrian will not tolerate it. He knew that Dumbledore is a great manipulator, planner, and master at planning ahead. So even though Hadrian is sure that he is better than Dumbledore, he know that there is a probability that Dumbledore is better and that is a risk he can't take. The only way to beat Dumbledore would be to play the wild card and be as unpredictable as he can be.
But how? Hadrian knew that being unpredictable doesn't mean not having a plan, it just means you have to have a plan that others cannot guess, cannot predict. It means having multiple plans so you can switch them around as much as you like, and this scheme that Hadrian is planning might just be his most complicated and awesome piece yet.
While Hadrian was busy developing a plan in his own little head space, Dumbledore paced around this office making a plan of his own. Many witches, wizards and students at Hogwarts knew Dumbledore as the leader of the light and the right side, they assume him to be a loving and powerful figure. However few knew about his darker side, and those who knew were often silenced forever. Dumbledore is an old man, and he is a smart man. He covered up wild ambitions and bloody hobbies with fake smiles, twinkling eyes and lemon drops lanced with trust potions. But as they say, old habits die hard and for Dumbledore, it is the same. Too often than not he find himself re-living the vivid memories of late nights in the dungeon, with his victims screams breaking the peaceful night.
This is why, behind the bookshelves lays a secret tunnel that leads to the secret study of the Headmasters before Dumbledore. Which now for decades has been transformed into a room where Dumbledore satisfy all his ungodly needs and should his decades long plan work out, and it will, Dumbledore would become the emperor of the world and this room will forever be stained with blood.
Hadrian knows that he cannot fail, he must not fail, because if he do and Dumbledore is not overthrown, the magical world will become unbalanced in the use of both dark and light magic until decades or even centuries later.
