Hadrian Peverell was questioned, by he never answered most of them. And when his mind felt like it was being probed, he simply showed other images that were not so important to throw in front of the mental probe.

It was a long school year, and he felt bored most of the time. At least, the times he wasn't with Luna or Neville who seemed to understand him. Luna more than Neville.

Luna had this habit of dragging him outside and into the forbidden forest to meet some of the Unicorns that seemed happy to great him, like an old friend.

The Thestals he saw were his favorite though, there was just a way that whenever he saw them his insides melt and all his tense features relaxed as he just pet them and just talked to them, even if Luna was there or if she left.

Because of his change in attitude, he worried a lot of people, and he made a list to tell certain people about what really happened, but he was happy when the school year was over.

A first for him.

It was mostly because he was interested to know what Death had planned regarding the summer as he seemed to hint about something.

Over the last few months of the school year, his Headmaster was working with the Wizamont and especially Amelia Bones regarding Hadrian's godfather Sirius Black and getting his trial.

Right now, Hadrian was twirling his quill in his fingers as he stared at the blackboard already bored even though it was twenty-five minutes into the Transfiguration final exam.

An exam that Hadrian had already finished within twenty minutes. His handwriting looking smooth and very understandable than the chicken-scratch he initially started out with.

There was many things different about him, he knew this and he knew others knew that he was different, but unlike them, Hadrian was embracing the change and continued to learn inside his mind as it reviewed the new information.

The information such as the supernatural creatures that exist, the angels, demons, hellhounds, hell and heaven itself. There was even a bit of information on god in his mind too.

Though, the favorite part of the new information was regarding the angel Gabriel, now Loki, and the pranks he has played.

It seemed Death really did know everything as Hadrian has laughed many times to himself when he viewed the trickster god pranking people and sometimes even approved a few of them.

Unknowingly, he marked Gabriel/Loki's soul as protected so that even Death himself would respect the man and not take the soul should he almost die.

Though, being marked only gave you one shot at not dying, it never gave second chances even if the soul was a favorite to the Master of Death.

"Mr.Potter," A stern voice pierced Hadrian's thoughts as he came back to Hogwarts and to the face of a disapproving Ms.McGonagall.

Hadrian mentally sighed but went along with his old name. "Yes, Ms.McGonagall? May I help you?" Hadrian asked softly and respectfully.

His teacher raised her eyebrow and looked pointedly toward the test that was in front of him. Hadrian mentally sighed and realized that he should've spaced out the exam instead of doing it in twenty minutes.

"I'm finished," Hadrian said softly, slightly hesitantly.

"Oh are you? You've got it twenty-eight minutes ago, Mr.Potter," Ms.McGonagall said seeming to not be amused by what she assumed was a prank.

Hadrian shrugged and handed his test to his teacher and ignored the way Draco Malfoy was snickering to his far right.

That was another thing that changed, Hadrian didn't get into any fights with Draco Malfoy anymore, whenever a harsh comment went his way Hadrian just shrugged and walked away and sometimes even dodged the one hex that Malfoy tried to hit him with to try and get him to respond.
