Narrator's POV

Hadrian and Rowan apparated into Riddle Manor, Hadrian jumped into Tom's arms he laid eyes in him.

"You may leave, Rowan." Tom ordered, holding his Queen bridal style, but Rowan stood fast: the Queen's Court answered only to the Queen

"Go, baby brother." Hadrian ordered, and Rowan did so

"I missed you." The Queen whispered, kissing Voldemort's cheek

"I missed you, as well." The Dark Lord replied

"I'm tired." Hadrian mumbled, burying his head into Tom's shoulder

"Then sleep, my love, I'll carry you to bed." Tom answered, kissing the top of Hadrian's head, relieved that his love was ok

"I love you, Tom." Hadrian sleepily said

"I would hope you knew by now, but I, of course, love you, too." Voldemort replied, carrying his sleeping Queen up stairs to their bedroom

Before sleep took Hadrian, he thought about Tom's loving words, the kind of love it had could not only not be denied, but eradicated the idea that it could have ever been a doubt.

.

It wasn't a simple gesture of affection, it was a fact.

Hadrian smiled as he fell asleep in his soulmate's arms.

***

The Dark Lord wanted revenge for what the Potters and the Order did to his beloved, and he decided that death was too good for them.

So, he wrote to the Ministry to have them arrested, but he would have to word it carefully, for laws forbade the Ministry from taking sides in a private war unless citizens were caught in the crossfire.

Upon receiving his letter, the Ministru sent a group of Aurors to arrest Lily and James Potter.

***

Once they arrived to the courtroom where Lily and James were to be charged, Hadrian, Tom, Sirius, Remus, Verity, and Rowan sat next to the Malfoys —save Lucius— and Hermione.

After they had seated, the LeStranges —save Rodolphus— and Lovegoods entered and sat with them on the first row.

Across the room, Dumbledore, the remaining Weasleys, as well as another girl Hadrian didn't recognize, though he'd guess it was Ellen.

Ellen was not that pretty of a girl, she had plain and frizzy brown hair, light brown eyes, and she was wearing a green dress.

After that the jury, judge, plaintiff, defendant and Aurors arrived dragging in Lily and James Potter

The jury, which was made out of: Nymphadora Tonks, Eliphas Doge, Lucius Malfoy, Rodolphus LeStrange, and four grey wizards and one grey witch that Hadrian didn't know.

"Good morning, everyone." The judge greeted "My name is Scott Wayne and today we're going to see if Lily and James Potter are guilty of these charges: preventing four children from learning who their soulmates are and neglecting there three children while simultaneously favoring a fourth."

Lily and James were chained to seats in the center.

"Mr. and Mrs. Potter, how do you plead?" Judge Wayne asked

"Not guilty." Lily confidently answered, she was sure Dumbledore was going to get them out of this

"Well then," Judge Wayne said "administer the veritaserum."

The Aurors, as ordered, forced Lily to drink the potion.

"What is your name?" Judge Wayne asked Lily to make sure the potion worked

"Lily Ann Potter née Evans." Lily answered emotionless

"You can't do this!" Dumbledore shouted "The Ministry can't interfere with private wars!"

"That's true, while the Potters and the Preverells are on different sides of your war now, these crimes are for before the Preverells joined the Dark, while they were minors." Judge Wayne explained

"So they found a loophole?" Ellen asked

"To say it plainly, yes they did, Ms. Potter." Judge Wayne answered

"Mrs. Potter, is it true that you prevented —fully knowing that it was illegal— four children: Neville LeStrange, Luna Lovegood, Hadrian Preverell, and Hermione Franqui, from learning the identities of their soulmates?" Judge Wayne asked
