Hopefully I am back this time, but who really knows. So here's chapter 9.

Chapter 9

Hadrian sat by the dying fire and waited for everyone to join him. As he did so, he just looked down at the key and letter just wondering what they could lead too. It was strange really, why would anyone just leave something that seemed so important behind? Unless who ever was here before them never had the time to grab it. Hadrian heard noises and when he looked up, he saw that the others where coming to join him. Some of them had find a few things and others didn't have anything. Once everyone was seated, he started to break the seal of the envelope but before he could do so, Orpheus stopped him.

"Hold on a sec, what if it's warded?" Orpheus asked looking concerned.

"Well.. I don't think it is because it was already warded once while in the drawer of the desk, so it's fine." Hadrian said reassuring. "If it was warded again, I wouldn't have been able to grab it."

"Okay then.. I trust you Hardrian." Orpheus said.

"Even so.. Wands at the ready." Remus said, pulling out his wand just to be safe. And everyone else followed suit.

With a heavy sigh, Hadrian broke the seal on the envelope and pulled out the letter that will inside. The letter inself wasn't very long at all and it said:

I am hidden where there is no sound.

The path is marked.

A door lies holding the truth.

After reading it out loud the everyone, they all had a really confused looks on their faces. Hadrian even reread the the note again and was still baffuled at it. Then he gripped the key that was in his hand and stood up.

"Well I'm going to find this door and see whats it's all about." Hadrian said.

"How do you know whatever it is, is still there and it could be dangerous." Sirius said. "And no godson of mine is going somewhere so dangerous."

"Then how about we all not go. I mean, do we all have to go on this great adventure? I for one want to look around some more and get started on tonights dinner." Luna said.

"I agree, So why doing we split up into groups, one adult to a group." Blaise said. "So how about Hadrian, Apollo, Polaris and Remus go look for that door while the rest of us stay at camp."

Hadrian nodded his head and stood up while the twins started to pack a small bag and Remus casted a duplicate spell on the map so the others that were staying behind could also have a copy. Once they were set to go, the group waved to the rest of the group and started to walk while every so often checking the surrounding areas for this marked path and also the looking at the map, jotting down where they have been or searched. It took all afternoon and the start of the evening when they finally found the path they were looking for. The group sat down to catch a few moments of breaths before they started to go down the path to find the door.

The closer they walked, the darker the woods around them got. The twins also started to move closer together towards Hadrian to protect him if this adventure got out of hand at all. They still walked down the path until they came upon the door that the note told them about. Hadrian took out the key and just stared at the door, giving a deep heavy breath. Reaching out, he pushed the key into the the keyhole and turned it, all of them hearing a click coming from the door. Once the door was all the way opened, they looked inside the long tunnel that was before them.

"Well.. Lets go in." Hadrian said and casted lumos and headed on inside, walking down the tunnel.

-O-

Back at camp

While those four went off to find the mystery door, the rest of them stayed at the campsite. Luna and Draconis were starting the prep work for that nights dinner while Blaise, Orpheus and Sirius went through the things that they had found. They had found some old torn magic books and some strange looking pieces of clothings. They had just finished looking through eveything when they heard a noise coming from behind them. The group got into a battle formation to handle the threat but they stopped when out of the woods walked out Lucius and Severus.

"Father.. Papa!" Draconis yelled out and made his way over to them, hugging them both.

"How did you get here?" Sirius asked them.

"Well.. We got the letter from Hadrian's goblin manager from Gringotts. It came with a portkey, so what else would a partent to do then pack a bag and come to their child in need." Lucius said.

"Of course we had to tell the Dark Lord and Dumbledore somthing totally different." Severus said, going over at sat down beside the dying fire. He looked around and noticed that some people weren't there. "So where exactly are the others?"

"They went out to look for something that holds the truth." Draconis said then looked up at the sky. "But by the looks of it, they might not make it back for dinner."

"Even so, I'll still make some extra for them to eat on." Luna said and started the fire then she started to cook.

While Luna was cooking, Blaise and Orpheus also helped her out. Sirius, Draco, Lucius and Severus went to the other side and started talking.

"So what exactly did you tell the Dark Lord and Dumbledore?" Sirius asked.

"I told Dumbledore that Lucius and I was going on vacaction to America and that I wouldn't be unavailable." Severus said. "But before I left though, the Order had a meeting. Dumbledore was on a rave about what happened at Gringotts and was red in the face with anger. He doesn't know where you all went or where this island is but knowing him, he'll use every powerful influence that he as so he can to find you lot."

"Well he won't be able too. In the deeds to the island, it's surrounded by bubble that no one will be able to see it. Also, the Fidelius charm surrounds the island as well." Sirius said.

Draconis looked over at his father. "And what about the Dark Lord?"

"Well..." Lucius started. "...I kind of told him that I would go on a mission to hunt down Mr. Potter. Of course, I also told him that Severus was coming along with me aswell."

Both Sirius' and Draconis' jaws dropped. "You what!!"

Lucius gave a heavey sigh. "He wasn't very pleased with the outcome of his enemy escaping England and it was the only lie I could come up with that would let your papa and I come see you Draconis."

"Pfft... You might see the Dark Lord sooner than later because Hadrian wants to talk to him and hand him the win. Since he's a dark creature now and becouse he didn;t really want to fight in this stupid war anyways." Sirius told them.

"You're serious?" Serverus asked.

"Well yes I am.." Sirius said with a goofy look. Of course, Serverus had to roll his eyes at the over grown child.

Draconis sigh. "Anyways.. That is Hadrian's plan after all. He wants to give the Dark Lord the win to this stupid war. He didn't want to be in this war to begin with and just wants to be left alone."

"Well.. Good luck to him with that." Lucius said then he took both Draconis and Severus on a walk to talk. "So how are you Dragon?"

While the family was walking away and talking, Sirius went back over to to help the other with the meal.

-O-
