Adrien held Opal's hand, and she sighed. "First of all your talent is okay. I am a parselmouth which is much weirder and worse to the publics eye." She admitted. Adrien thought about how Harry and Opal were more alike than either of them cared to admit. "We need to leave now for the horcruxes, I had a vision that Father is reinforcing all of his horcruxes and we don't even know where they are." Adrien gulped, and nodded. He had to say goodbye to his friends first. Hannah, Clara, Axel, Clyde, April, Emily and Mitch. It was likely he'd never see them again. He turned his hair back to it's normal jet black. "I have to talk to my brother" He said, giving Opal a kiss and going to find Harry in the great hall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry didn't look surprised when Adrien walked up to him. "Your scar hurt didn't it?" He guessed, gingerly touching his own scar. "Yes. We have to leave asap." Adrien said unhappily. "Tonight? I thought we had more time!" Harry muttered. "So did I. But with our scars hurting again, Opal's vision and the dementors, you can't deny now is the right time to try and fix this." Adrien pushed. "Adrien, are you sure we can trust her? She is a Riddle after all." Harry asked tentively. Adrien nodded. "She's not like Voldemort. She can't control who her father is" He said angrily. "She has the dark mark!" Harry pointed out. "So do I!" Adrien retorted. "Opal is coming on this mission because I love her and I'm not leaving her! Never." "Okay. Let's go bid our goodbyes then." Harry said distatefully. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adrien walked up to his friends, who were talking and and laughing together. Hannah was the first to face him and see the worry in his eyes. "You have to leave" Clara said sadly. "Yes." Adrien confirmed. Hannah made a face that seemed half sad, half-angry. "I wish you didn't have to leave" She said sorely. So do I, Adrien thought sadly. So do I. Clara swiped at her eyes and pulled Adrien into a hug. "I'm going to miss you. And that stupid duck face you make." She sniffed. "Quack!" Adrien grinned. Hannah laughed half-heartedly, and Axel punched his shoulder with a smile. "I'll be back next year, imma annoy you all for a long time, that's a promise." Adrien vowed. They pulled him in for a group hug, and Adrien had never felt safter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
