A Surprise Inheritance

CHAPTER 27

It was the day of the first task, and between the interview and then, there were some restlessness weeks.

For a start, Hadrian snapped for the first time since the beginning of the year. The reason: his regulars check-ups.

As his father asked for, he got his temperature checked every day by his mother to see if he got a fever or if he is developing his first heat. Before the fifth check-up, he snapped.

Hadrian refused to take off his clothes and to lay down. He demands that Draco will come to the room and began to cry even before Draco's first step inside. After ten minutes of Draco rubbing circles on his back, his mom told him that would be his last check-up and from now they will only check for a fever.

He didn't like this idea too, getting tired of a check every day, but since it was a big improvement for him, he took it.

He was tired of those check-ups. Ever since the big one Dillan had given him, he hated them with passion. And don't let him begin about his anatomy. It's like it is the only thing that surrounded him, and let him tell you, it the worst thing ever. The only reason he did not react to his parents' package was that he was still tired from the blocks removing, as it was in the morning after all.

Lately, he was a bit moodier, and the fact that Rita Skeeter got permission from the ministry (without Dumbledore's consent mind you) to stay at Hogwarts during the year to follow the Triwizard Tournament wasn't helping either, needed to keep the show at all time, who knows how she finds out secrets of others.

He often lashed out when the night was approaching, and in the mornings he was like a dead teen on his feet, and luckily he had Draco carrying him everywhere anyway always.

And, a week after the interview, the article came, each champion had a full page for himself, starting from where they came from, hobbies, skills and more, everyone had a page except him, who actually had five pages, stating his past, the outrageous thing that Dumbledore had done and the injustice, about Draco being his mate and much, much more. Apparently, Skeeter had found photos of him doing his skills while still young: everything from dancing and modelling ballets moves, playing the violin, up in the air on an Aerial Loop or the Aerial rope, on the trapeze, singing in a recording room or on a stage, ice skating with his violin in hand, scores in school and one article that was translated from Greek to English about him being a child prodigy and many more. So it was painfully normal to see him with a headache every day.

And that was the reason they didn't suspicious at all when he got his first heat.

Draco was the one to find out first out, even before Hadrian.

He woke up to a strong smell of vanilla and strawberries, which made him hungry for something more, something that he couldn't explain, but his thought began to drift to the thing he could do to Hadrian at the moment, he realised one little thing, the only reason that to this smell would have a relation to Hadrian, a heat.

It was very common, especially in the first heat, that the submissive would produce a strong smell to lure his alpha to him.

Draco opened his eyes, forcing himself to wake up fast, and looked at his mate, who last night was very nervous about today, so nervous that Draco needed to calm him down... In a particular way, one might say.
Hadrian was at the moment flushed, and panting in his sleep, he could see sweat marks on his clothes, and his abdomen moving a bit... Realising that he was trying to get friction.

Draco got out slowly, trying to act against his instincts, and ran out from the bedroom, rushing to his head of house's chambers, knocking on the door very fast and strong, trying to get things moving before his instincts would take over him and he would run back to the room.
