Plot: At a young age, Harry was found in Privet Drive by a witch/wizard/Squib who specialized in the eradication, hunting and experimentation on Dark Creatures: as a result, a very different Harry Potter came to Hogwarts.

Platform nine and three quarters was packed to the gills as a couple and young man stepped through the barrier. The older male was tall and lean with a caramel complexion, hair like snow and frosty blue eyes. Dressed in a casual three-piece suit and pointed shoes covered by a duster loosely placed around his shoulders he cut a rather curious but standoffish presence.

The woman on the mans arm scoffed as he said something quietly to her and slapped his arm. With a rather flattering but conservative dress, red in color to almost match her hair, and blue-grey eyes she was a sight. Her almost honey colored tan skin seemed to shine as she turned her gaze to the young man behind her, a small smile coming to her lips. At first glance the young man didn't appear to be special or standout but she and her husband knew better. He, their son, was fairly tall for an eleven with streaked hair-primarily black with red and white streaks-, piercing blue-grey eyes and a pale tan that was leaning towards he spent far more time outside than indoors. Like them he was dressed to the nines in pressed black slacks, a long sleeve white button-down shirt that she knew hid his Hunters tattoos on the insides of his forearms, a formal silver vest with a wine-red vine-like stitching creeping up from the bottom, black pointed shoes and a duster of his own.

"Final check" the man said looking to their son.

"Main wand is in my holster in my left sleeve and back-up is in the holster in my right. School trunk in my right pocket, left pocket has my… extracurricular trunk. Relics, artifacts and weapons locked away under our family spells and wards no one can break. My hawks already gone ahead to the school. Tattoos are charged and primed if I need to kill some thing unnatural" the boy said and curled his lip in disgust at the thought of what the unnatural thing potentially could be. "Daggers on my belt, exorcism ring on my left hand and silver ones on right. If the worst-case scenario should ever occur, the array is charged and primed on my back to bring… that to my aid."

The womans smile grew a bit as she ruffled her sons hair. "Seems you truly came into your own huh love?" she asked with a loving fondness in her eyes.

The boy snorted but looked up at his mother as he fixed his hair. "I am my parents child even if I am technically adopted. It's only natural after the ritual I'd take to the family business" he said rolling his eyes.

"Don't get smart with your mother boy" the man said cuffing his son upside the head.

"Abraham, be nice to our boy. If he was being smart or fresh I'd scold him myself" the woman said with a glare aimed at her husband briefly. "I know its not your first choice Harry but every Hunter needs a standard base line before you can join the Guild and get your license. I'd really rather prefer to send you to Durmstrang but…"

"I know, politics concerning my birth family. I'm more than frustrated at the politicking as well. Hogwarts is behind the curve in all regards and being led by a Headmaster who actively pushes filthy Creature Rights" the boy looked sick even saying it "is an abomination to the preservation of all things right and just. It's the filthy animals and half-breeds that are the cause of declining wizarding & human numbers. The only good creature is a dead creature" he said with nothing but contempt.

The man the redhead identified as Abraham smiled thinly at his son. "That's my boy" he said with a modicum of pride in his voice. Spotting a colleague nearby he nodded at the blonde-haired man before getting one in return. "Eve, we should go say our greetings to Lucius and Narcissa."

The redhead nodded directing her son to follow them toward the couple no more than fifteen feet away from them. "Lucius, Narcissa you both look well" Eve said when they were close enough.

Lucius, a pale blonde haired man with strikingly blue eyes, nodded his head at Abraham and Eve. He was familiar with the husband and wife Hunter pair as he was their son. "As well as expected if I'm to be frank. Those fools in the Wizengamot are trying my patience to its limits. Can you believe that they actually want to grant the creature scum a speaking voice in the chambers? Its little more than heresy" he said with a scathing tone. "Before I forget myself, I believe you left this at my mansion the last time you were training with my son Harrison."

The boy addressed as Harrison took the finely carved wooden box and pulled out a lapel pin as long as his middle finger. A closer inspection revealed it was the shrunken transfigured form of his main weapon. "It seems I did, my apologies and thanks Hunter Malfoy. I thought I had forgotten it but with the preparations to attend this… travesty calling itself a school I hadn't the time to make an appointment to return and get it" he said politely inclining his head offering the box back. He saw the blonde man return the gesture with a dismissive wave of his hand before taking the box back into his possession.

"And how many times must we remind you Harrison that you do not need to make an appointment? You carry Black Blood in your veins so that make you family. That's not to mention you and your parents are keyed into the wards" Narcissa said as she brushed a rogue strand of her blonde hair from her face.

"It is a matter of decorum and respect. A Hunters dwelling is warded for the protection of themselves and their family. No matter the relation, any outsiders must make an appoint with the Master Hunter of the home before they can cross the ward line" Harrison said after pinning the lapel on his shirt and bowed his head to Narcissa ever so slightly. "It is The Code set forth by the Guild after all."

"Which we are not yet part of cousin."

Harrison's head turned the barest semblance of a degree spotting his cousin Draco Malfoy, a miniature clone of his father Lucius, leaning on a column. "Not yet but we were raised in the shadow of its laws" he said blandly. The snort he heard escape blonde made his eyes roll as he straightened his posture a touch and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"So here's the million galleon question that is entirely rhetorical boys but-"

"Slytherin" both Harrison and Draco said simultaneously making the adults chuckle.

"Hufflepuff sympathizes with anything that has a pulse and Gryffindor is too stupid to realize the animals are a threat to the continued existence of wizards & humans as a whole. Ravenclaw is an option but only for the access to the personal library of Rowena Ravenclaw herself that is supposed to be in their tower if there is any truth to the rumor" Harrison said shaking his head. "Magic that is lost to that time would be invaluable since it was a common practice to pre-emptively slaughter the mongrels before they were threats to wizarding settlements and experiment on the corpses to dissect their secrets for easier extermination."

Abraham smirked a little finding his sons answer to be succinct and entirely on the nose. "And Slytherin?" he asked with a gleam shining in his eyes.

"He was Master Class Exterminator who was one of the Hunters Guild founding pillars. Given that, it is not a far stretch to assume that he hid within the castle a place only other Hunters could hope to find and use to the maximum efficiency. Magics as old as the ones believed to be in Ravenclaw's library but orders of magnitude more lethal. The notes of his experimentations should be there too. Not to mention that beside being a Master Class Exterminator, he was also a Master Class Bewitcher. Slytherin would keep his personal lab with his notes and by extension his stores of ingredients kept in timeless stasis" Draco said pushing his back off the column.

"Very good and logical points boys. You should get to your friends before the lesser descend on you" Narcissa said shooing the boys toward the train.

Harrison lagged behind a moment after giving a nod to his father and hugging his mother tight for a moment. For all his training and the like, he was still a kid and this would be the first time he was going to be away from his family for an extended time that wasn't a hunt. A couple months was a blink of an eye for a Hunter but being surrounded what he would soon label neanderthals, it would be hell.

Eve knelt down and kissed Harrison's forehead softly. "Go my bloody little raven, we're only one Summons away if you ever well and truly need us" she said in a soft warm tone. "Sharpen your talons and come Yule we'll have a Hunt ready for you to join us on."

Harrison nodded his head and straightened his clothes out before following Draco onto the steam train.

"That old coot doesn't know the danger he's in for does he?" Lucius asked rhetorically.

"Not even the most obscure speculation Lucius. He's expecting a muggle abused, weak minded simpleton. The nightmare that is inbound will put the fear of Mordred into him by the time Harry makes his point" Eve said with a vicious little smirk on her lips as the train began to move and pull away from the station.
