Hadrian's POV
It was close to midnight. "You can stay here if you want. It is already
late. You can use the room you usually take whenever Ginevra isn't
around." I said to Draco.
He nodded and got up along with Lucius and Narcissa. They
followed him to his room. I had already told him that the next room to his
could be for his parents whenever they wanted to visit and stay for the night.
"There are more rooms. Sirius, you could take the
room you were in previously. I think Remus could share it with you." I
said. They nodded and went to Sirius' room.
"Regulus, you could go to your room as well.
Kreacher never let anyone inside your room. He had also kept it clean." I
said as Regulus got up to go to his room.
"James, Lily, you could follow Regulus and take the
room that is to right of his. The left is dad's room." I said. They got up
and followed Regulus after smiling and giving me a brief hug and a thank you.
"I don't know about you. You could take the room
opposite dad's room. The one on his room's right is mine and my mates'
room." I said.
"No need. He can stay in mine. I have a lot to speak
with him anyway." Dad said while glaring at Tom. He also had a look that
said, 'Disobey me if you dare'. Tom gulped and followed dad.
My twins helped me to my room and let me lie down.
"If you feel any more pain than now, wake us
up Hades. Do not think you are disturbing us. We would feel sad if
you didn't let us know." They said.
I nodded. "I will wake you if I feel more pain.
Sleep. You will need it. I might not get any sleep. It is hurting like
crazy." I said.
"Do you want us to transfer some magic into you?"
Fred asked.
"No. It is alright. I haven't been able to sleep
these days. I could only get a few hours of sleep every day." I said.
They looked concerned but before could say anything, I
said, "Now, you need sleep. I will wake you."
They nodded and closed their eyes.
I just kept looking at their faces as they slept. They
looked peaceful now. They had no worries, sleeping so calmly.
I could just keep staring at their faces.
I didn't know when, but the pain had started to increase
drastically. It felt like being crushed by a hippogriff after receiving a lot of
Cruciatus curses.
I wanted to wake them up, but my hands were not moving. I
wanted to shout, but I had lost my voice. I was not able to speak. I didn't
know what to do.
A few moments later, I wandlessly levitated my wand and
poked Fred, who was sleeping to my right on his side.
He woke up slowly, but the moment he saw me, he shook
George awake and asked him to get dad. George dashed out of the room.
Fred had lifted me into his arms and held me. "It
will be alright, Hades. Your dad or Tom would know what to do." He
said. It felt like he was trying to assure himself as well.
George stormed in, followed by dad and Tom.
"Did you try sending some magic to him?" Dad
asked.
Fred nodded. "I tried. But
it doesn't look like it is reducing. He is not able to speak.
His voice box is damaged." He said.
George had joined his twin and held me in his arms as
well.
"Do you think he can take it?" Goerge
asked.
I nodded slightly. I know I can take the pain and not
collapse.
Dad sat beside Fred and took my hand. He sent some of his
magic into me and waited, but there was no decrease in pain. He sighed.
"During the day, I think it is
bearable. But at night, it is not." George said.
I nodded. It had been like that before as well. During
the day, I could function, but at night, it became very hard to even move
around the room.
