"Yo Hadrian!" Neville shouted across the room.

I smiled and waved. "Hey Neville, how are you?" Quietly putting books away. The school library was my sanctuary, I had spent hours in this place reading. Though, when you've read every single book in the library.. things get hard.


The schools librarians were very fond of Hadrian, he had always helped with the library, in return, he got to stay in the library twenty- four seven. Neville had always wondered why he looked so tired. He told him about this and Neville forced him to sleep.

But deep down.. they both knew his dark and twisted self-

"You look... good." Neville said as he finally got to where Hadrian was standing. "All the girls will dig you, ya know." And snickered.

Flustered he said, "H-hey! I'm not that bad!" 

Neville sighed and tugged the collar on his shirt. 

He ran out the door, summoning a knife.

"Is the job done?" Neville asked.

He let out a groan. "You got my hands all dirty.. can't you spare me a little?"

Neville patted his head. "Well.. you're talking to you're talking to the person who you want to surpass right? You've always wanted to.. since you were little."

Hadrian looked at him with dark eyes. "You know I don't remember anything right?" 

There was a long paused, then Neville nodded.

"I'll see you later Hadrian, for now.. stay out of trouble." 


At Foxfire academy, when the annual Loderstar competition is held, all guests will be treated like students. Including the higher ups.

Although it was a rule that everyone at Foxfire didn't care about, there was always something they were after. Winning.

According to you're ranking. The top two students share a room with eachother. The dorm is called 'The Phenoix. Having two bedrooms with a king sized bed in each one. A bathroom, a kitchen and even a living room.

They had extra storage and a balcony looking over the entire property. And boy was the view neice.

From tenth place and up, you get a room called 'The Lions' sharing with two people, with a bathroom, two seperate bedrooms, with a queen sized bed, and a living room.

The students who ranked thirtieth and up would get a dorm called the 'Commandments"  with three people, three bedrooms a bathroom. And the common room was shared by everyone in the Commandment group.

Everyone scoring above sixty would get the 'crows.' They got a small room by themselves. A knight sized bed, and a bathroom. They shared the crows common room.

The last remaining people would be placed in the group, 'Dogs' they would have to share with four people. Four knight sized beds, a bathroom and all dogs would share the common room.

Positions were hard to get. And it's possible to lose. Though.. Hadrian loved winning too much, so he wouldn't.

It gave him joy whenever he saw the despair on anothers face-

What was he thinking about.. these were his friends.. right?

Anyways, the students that came got all the guest rooms which is the same as the crows expect two metres bigger with two beds. Most students didn't mind it but...

Hadrian smirked when he saw Daniel complaining about how he had to share a room with a 'commoner' and how he's 'The boy who lived.'

Typicial.

If Daniel wanted to be at this school, he was going to have to know his place. This was the perfect timing.

He was going to cause Daniel Potter... despair.

And he wasn't going to play nice. He was going to pay for everything he did to Hadrian. Including Lily and James.. how could they be so naive and bitches!

All the reason to do it.

No regrets

Putting on his Assanation disguise, Hadrian had become a completely different person.

The girl at the desk stood her ground, everyone at foxfire knew the truth about Daniel Potter. And everyone at Foxfire wern't pawns. Here, we train like no one else, we learn like no one else.

Everyone at this school has a backstroy. It doesn't have to be good or bad. Eighty percent of the students here all have something happen to them. From getting an illness to have their parents die in a car crash.

But in Hadrians case, 卄乇 山卂丂 卂 ᗪ乇爪ㄖ几

So a mere peasnt wasn't going to scare them. He knew that..because he was part of them..yet.. they don't know anything..

But what about...

Hadrian stepped from the corner. "Well.. is it for Daniel Potter." His voice sounding much colder. 

Both of the two took a big step back. "N-no way.. It's.. T-the E-enigma.."

"You guessed right! Can't believe a guy like you could even think.. jackass.." Hadrian took a step further. "To be honest, I've had a great time watching the tournament from afar. But.. the way you beat that monster.. you cheated.."

He wasn't lying. Daniel Potter had tampered with the statues the day before, making the one he was facing much easier. And the others harder. Hadrian had caught him while getting something to drink.

It was pitiful how humans worked. And how dumb they were. At least some people are educated well enough

"How did you know! I'm telling Dumbledore-" Hadrian grabbed Daniel by the neck and whispered enough so both them and the woman could hear. "I used to go to this school.. and here.. you earn you're rank.. you don't get it automatically by status.  But even if you did, you're status isn't even yours. So think carefully.. peasnt." And Daniel shreiked as he was thrown onto the ground.

"Malissa.. although I can't reveal my identity to you.. I hope you never go through that again.." Hadrian said, his face not visible with the bandage around his mouth.

The girl nodded, smiling. "I don't care about you're identity.. you really helped me there. If he didn't stop, I swear I would've killed him. By the way.. is he dead?" 

"No.. just knocked out. If I killed him, there would be billions on my head and unnecessary attentuon on my head. Plus, this roach isn't worth killing, he deserves to live eternally in hell. And in despair of everyone.. death is just mercy.."

He was right no matter how you thought of it. Death would only end the fight.. end the suffering.. If only he could di-

"Enigma! I completley agree with you! Please do visit! Past students are always allowed to visit.. even if they are enemies. You haven't killed anyone here so you aren't a foe to us. Nor did you kill anyone closely related.. how do you do that.." Malissa asked.. her voice quiet.

Hadrian nodded. "Yea.. I thank you for that.. but the other schools and headmasters will be there. It'll only cause panic.. and attention to me.. also.. the schools reputation. Dumbledore would surely have me killed if he found me."

"I agree.. but we don't care.. though.. do say.. you're quite young.. are you a past graduate? You're shorter then me.. you're voice is light. I guess I shouldn't say anything.."

Hadrian nodded, "Yea.. find out the truth and sometimes it can lead to the wrong path. I'll see you soon.. Malissa."

Malissa nodded and waved. Her smile shining in the night. "Come back again soon! Oh and, what do you want me to do with this corpse?"

'Enigma' yelled, "Throw him in the trash!"

And dissapeared into thin air.

As he got into the dorms.. everything was quiet..

Dark and quiet.

Just like his past.. his future. Everything was dark and silent.

Hadrian had always begged to have a good life. A family who cared about him. He really did.

But.. Ϛօʍҽ էհìղցʂ çօմӀժ ղҽѵҽɾ ҍҽ ցɾąղէҽժ..

He was just..

And.. ₘₐₗfᵤₙcₜᵢₒₙᵢₙg

Nothing good came out of him.. after all his name was.. 𝔐𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔦𝔤𝔞𝔦

And his family were 𝔐𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔦𝔤𝔞𝔦 and the 𝔐𝔞𝔠𝔥 and 𝔐𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔦 of the 𝔐𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔦𝔤𝔞.

This pitiful sad life.. and only one person knows-

"You know.. you shouldn't go out on a night like this..."

Hadrian turned around..
