Hadrian's POV
After a few hours, "The process is reaching the end. Brace yourself. It will be a little tough journey. Mortem will explain your duties as my mates. Bear with him. The list is quite long." I said. I was almost grunting the words out. The pain was really high. I'm glad I took the pain from them.

They nodded.

A few moments later, their bodies started to become cold.

I know they were in the Death Realm. I know Mortem wouldn't hurt them, but I still am worried.

An hour later, their bodies started to get back to normal temperature. Their souls were coming back.

Slowly, they opened their eyes.

"Hades." They said as they smiled when they saw me.

"I'm right here. Get some rest. We can go back to Grimmauld tomorrow." I said.

They nodded.

"The place was beautiful. Mortem explained how we can support you while you do your work." They said.

I smiled at them.

The next day, when we went back to Grimmauld, I changed my clothes. I wore the same ones as yesterday since I didn't get another pair with me.

When I walked out wearing another pair, Fred gave me a coat. "We know you like to wear leather coats. Try this one." He said. George nodded.

I smiled and took the coat from them. Since I was already in black pants and white dress shirt, I wore the coat. It fits me correctly.

"We got this one for your birthday. But after we saw the gifts you received, we decided not to give them that day." George said.

"Harry." Teddy shouted as he came running to me.

I picked him up.

"Fred, George, are you okay?" Teddy asked.

"We are fine, champ. Wanna play?" George said.

"Breakfast, then you can play." Lily said from the kitchen.

"Nice coat pup." Sirius said.

"Fred and George gave it." I said with a smile.

"It suits you." Dad said as he walked into the hall.

I smiled at him.

"Where's Atlas and Marvolo?" I asked.

"Atlas will be coming down shortly." Sirius and Regulus said.

"Marvolo went out for something." Dad said.

"You let him out of your sight?" I asked.

"Had to. He begged me for a while, though." Dad said with a smirk.

I shook my head.

Lily finished making breakfast, so all of us walked to the dining room. The food was delicious.

We walked to the lounge after eating. Teddy had gotten the chess board and started playing with Fred and George.

"What do you think will happen to the coot?" Dad asked.

"He will be given to Hadrian and Neville for what he had done. But if he knows that Hadrian is Marvolo's son, it might take a different turn." Sirius said.

"He doesn't know that." Dad said.

"Where is he, though? He isn't back yet." I said.

"Kreacher." Regulus called.

"Yes, master Regulus." Kreacher said as he appeared beside Regulus.

"Do you know where Marvolo went to?" Regulus asked.

Kreacher nodded. "Master Marvolo is at Riddle mansion." He said.

"Why did he go there?" Dad asked. He was almost shaking, remembering the place where Marvolo was Lord Voldemort.

Kreacher shook his head.

"I'll be right back." I said.

"Where are you going?" Dad and my twins asked.

"To get him back." I said.

"Hadrian, we don't know in what state of mind he is in right now." Dad said. I know he was worried about me, but he was more worried about Marvolo's mental state.

"I'll be fine, Dad. I can hold my ground against him if he is in his Voldemort state." I said.

Fred and George wanted to come too but I asked them to stay. I know they are strong, but I don't want them hurt. Especially by Marvolo. I don't think I'd ever forgive him if they got hurt.

I apparated to the Riddle mansion.

When I walked in, I felt his magic all around the place.

I walked in the direction where I felt the power coming from.

He was right there, at the center of the mansion, in the hall.

I was ready. My wand was in my hand. "Marvolo?" I called out.

He turned around to look at me. But his eyes were red instead of blue.

"Hadrian. What are you doing here?" He asked.

"To get you back home." I said.

"Where is Severus?" Marvolo asked.

"At Grimmauld. This place traumatized him, I guess. When Kreacher said you were here, he held the chair arm rest a lot tighter than normal." I said.

"He is scared of me." Marvolo said.

"He isn't." I said.

"He always has his wand at the ready when he's with me." Marvolo said.

I sighed. "He has seen a lot happening around him. He is just ready for whatever life throws at him. Even I have a wand with me at the ready. That doesn't mean I am scared of my mates. He just doesn't want to lose what he has." I said.

"But he hasn't seen me in the way he used to. The love in his eyes is missing." He said.

"That is your doing. Who asked you to doubt him? Who asked you to insult him after knowing him? Who asked you to torture the crap out of him?" I asked.

"I know. But I was out of mind then." Marvolo said.

"He knows that." I said.

"Then why?" Marvolo asked.

"Why don't you ask him yourself?" I asked.

"What if he says he hates me now, for all that I have to him and you." Marvolo said. He was shaking. He was honestly scared of dad's response.

"You won't know until you try." I said.

"I'm still scared. What if he doesn't want me anymore?" He asked.

"If he didn't want you in his life, he would've thrown you out of the house when he knew it was you. He wants you, but he still thinks you might leave him." I said.

"I won't leave him." Marvolo said.

"Then show that to him." I said. "Make him believe that you will be by his all the time."

Marvolo nodded and walked to me. "Can I hug you?" He asked.

I nodded.

When he hugged me, I just put one arm around him. It was a little weird hugging him.

"You do have to remember that I will forgive you only when dad forgives you." I said when I was out of the hug.

Marvolo nodded.

"Can I ask you something?" I said as we were walking out of the mansion.

Marvolo nodded.

"Why are your eyes red now?" I asked.

"They... They are red?" Marvolo asked.

I nodded.

"This shouldn't be happening. This is bad." He said.

"What will happen if they turn red?" I asked.
