Author's rant: This is a harry/Daphne fanfic. I don't know how often I can upload the chapter but I will try to upload at least 1 chapter per week. Even though I read a lot of fanfiction writing is not my strong hold , I am writing this fic bcz I love harry potter series so much . I do love constructive criticism. English is neither my mother tongue nor I am a professional. If any one can point the any Grammer mistakes in the story I'd be grateful. This is my first fanfic so any help is appreciated. In this story harry was smart not godlike harry, he have an large magical core compare to his classmates but he will become more powerful through training.

chapter 1 : Gringotts and Train Ride
A 11 year old boy currently stood before counter of Gringotts awaiting in front of Goblin in counter, Goblin asked " what deal do you have with Gringotts. Potter?". The boy with almond shaped stunning Emerald like green eyes and raven black messy hair answered "I would like to meet Potter account manager master Goblin Sharpclaw". The Goblin replied "wait there few minutes Griphook will accompany you" while gesturing towards a seat. Hadrian potter did as told, after few minutes Griphook came and escorted him to Potter account manager's office and knocked on a golden door he heard a 'come in' he went inside.
"what do I owe the pleasure meeting with you young Mr. Potter?" older Goblin greeted him
Hadrian potter is the only wizard they respected because unlike other wizards he respected them for handling money there fore the economy of the country so he knew antagonizing them is a bad idea.
Harry calmly replied "I would like a inheritance test and take the heir rings master goblin Sharpclaw". Goblin nodded and called Griphook to ready the test, after few moments Griphook came with a bowl and silver dagger placed in a table sharpclaw asked him to take dagger and drop 13 drop of blood in bowl, he did as told and waited. A parchment flew towards sharpclaw he caught it and said
Hadrian James Potter
Born : 31 July 1980
Father : James Charles Potter
Mother : Lily Jasmine Potter nee Evans
heir of ancient and noble house of Potter (from paternal side)
heir of ancient noble house of Black (godfather's chosen heir).
heir of ancient house of Gaunts (right by conquest)
heir apparent of most ancient noble house of Gryffindor (from paternal side)
heir apparent of most ancient most noble house of Slytherin (from maternal side )
"you can take the potter, Black and g
Gaunt heirship now" Sharpclaw said
how did I get the Gaunt heirship? Hadrian asked
"I don't know correctly but I guess the last Gaunt heir broke the law of magic so when you defeated him magic consider you as worthy and give to you" Sharpclaw replied.
"Voldemort" Hadrian hissed with venom
"how did they lose noble status. From what I read they are originated from the Slytherin house ?" Harry enquired
"50 years ago lord Gaunt murdered a muggle and sent to askabhan. you can read it in the old news paper and books. we goblin avoid rumors at all cost." Sharpclaw replied
"what of Gryffindor and Slytherin,how can I get the Lordship?"Harry asked
"the last lords of ancient houses present in the round table of King Arthur like Slytherin and Gryffindor left an ancient relic. only those who worthy enough to Lord of such house can claim it. Godric Gryffindor who was the last lord of House Gryffindor left a goblin silver sword. it is made by the ancestors of present king Ragnork. it is believed Slytherin left a ancient locket of heavy gold created during origination of house Slytherin."
Hadrian took the rings and placed them in ring finger they all merged to superior potter lord ship ring and become invisible at will. Sharpclaw gave two letters from parents to him but instead of opening it he pocketed it then he concluded business with Potters and went into Black.
He promised the old man, he will try his best to bring the legacy back to Black, black account manager Bloodfang give him a pensieve and some memories and each had a note attached to it from the old man about his younger life and friendship b/w his grandfather. He placed the pensieve in 4th chamber of his trunk which he brought from Victorian alley in America.
He had to make one stop before he is ready for going to Hogwarts. He then went into Eeylops pet owl emporium, when he gets inside a rather beautiful snowy white owl stared at him. He put a finger inside the cage to stroke her feathers.
The shopkeeper let out a startled sigh "that owl usually pecks everyone that put finger in her cage so I think she likes you"
harry replied " I will take her, she seems to be intelligent" as to prove the point she shared a look "damn right human".
Harry gave 20 galleon to the shop keeper for owl and some owl treats. As shopping ended he decide to catch a ice cream. When he started eating his ice cream, a girl with honey blonde with a icy blue eyes and her mother sat across him and ordered ice cream for them.
He knew even though he was famous they wouldn't recognize him , they were expecting the exact copy his father with glass and his mother's eyes with a lightning bolt scar on this fore head from 'You know who'. But he was different from their description he rectified his eyes so don't need any glass and for scar he had to thank the Old man for that, his scar was faded old thing. He had high cheekbones and raven black messy hair that he kept short, he was starting to grow it out now. A couple of strands fell lazy on his fore head. He looked good and he knew it. All he got from parents is eyes from mother, hair and some facial things from father
She was about his age so hopping she is going to hogwarts he asked "are you starting hogwarts this year too?".
" yes I am, what is your name ?" she replied coolly
. He grinned "Hadrian potter at your service and What's yours my lady? "both women's eye widened as they stared ar him.Their eye quickly glanced to forehead which turns to a confusion but girl composed herself before answering
" I am Daphne Greengrass, Heiress of house Greengrass and this is my mother Lady Roxanne Greengrass. He kissed their knuckles in a very pureblood manner. 'Even though she had a stoic mask on her face she is beautiful' he thought. Both women raised an eyebrows at the mannerism shown by boy who lived, They are expecting a arrogant Dumbledore's golden boy who looks like he was merlin gifted wizard kind. But here sitting a confident yet not arrogant, gentle And he is lacking the lightning bolt scar on his fore head that most people talked about. They are more confused at this, they wanted to ask about scar but thought better of that.
"However sorry ladies, as much as l would like to spend time with two lovely ladies I have to bid you a good bye for now hopefully we can see in hogwarts express I have a appointment to keep" he said warmly.
"okay you are quite a mystery and charmer I see". Roxanne said
He bid them good bye and went into Chris's magical spectacles and got a good glass with anti legilimency charm, anti fog charm and transform into sunglass at will. and wander the diagonal alley a bit. From flourish and blotts he brought a book named art of War by sun Tzu and some advanced mind arts books and strategical duels. He decided stay on leaky cauldron and stop shopping. He would have chose a room in muggle world but due to the statue of secrecy he can't do any magic in mundane world. The underage magic won't do anything to him as his wand is custom made and untraceable.
1 month ago
Harry entered into a well-known American Wand maker Gellert's shop
"I want a custom made wand and untraceable too, could you make me one?" he said
the man replied " I would if you have enough gold". To as prove that point harry put a sack of galleon on table, the man motioned towards inner working space, harry entered that place on one side there are several woods and on the other side there are substances for cores.
"Channel your magic walk in front of each wood and substance, if you feel a pull towards it grab it and place on the table." when he returned he has two wood and two core which is rare because some woods never cooperate each other. He got elm and yew with heartstrings of ice dragon and A Nundu which killed 100 people in single poisonous breath on rampage in an African village.
"now which is your Wand arm?". Gellert said
"I am ambidextrous sir" Harry asked
"Oh" exclaimed Gellert happily, the magic tape automatically measuring the boy
"You are very interesting wizard and have an astonishing personality" Gellert said
"What do you mean" harry asked
"As old British Wand maker Ollivander said Wand chooses the wizard and chose by his personality. The wood elm represents gentleness you care others who you trust but people have to earn your trust first and it is difficult, yew make very powerful wands only a powerful men can wield yew Wand. As for ice dragon it is a Grey type dragon they are not dangerous but can be ruthless if needed, they do not attack a innocent person but did not hesitate to maim or kill if attacked. And Nundu is a alpha personality. It is quite rare to have all these personalities " Gellert calmly replied
"Where did I can get more knowledge on wand lore" harry asked excitedly. Gellert replied by recommending some books on wand lore. When he left the shop he sighed in relief he didn't think Wand can tell personality.
He slept that night peacefully, he woke up when he heard a knock he groaned for disturbing his peaceful sleep, he opened the door to bartender Tom with breakfast he grabbed it and nodded thanks to Tom and closed the door. He decided to complete his academic books first and read advanced mind arts books in free time, his occumelency and legilimency are quite good to keep intruders for a minutes but he wanted impregnable walls for his mind, he knew Dumbledore is master legilimence so he meditated for one hour every day to add security to walls and assort his daily memories. As days passed he completed his 1st year books and getting started on 2nd year text.
So when September 1st came at 10.30 he took a pinch of floo powder and stepped inside the orange granite fire place and he spoke clearly "king's cross junction" just as a green flame swallowed him, he exited the floo by landing on his butt, hearing snickers from behind his head spun around to see the blonde which had blue eyes smirking at his unfortunate fall, he stood up and greeted her by kissing her knuckles, she waiting for her friend Tracey Davis but she isn't there so he took the opportunity to befriend her properly. As her friend was late they decided to catch a empty compartment so they could talk without intrusion and wait for her friend, he placed both their trunks over the top and sat in the window seat straight yet relaxed posture. He began to observe the busy life of platform 9 .the excited whispers of summer and fear and nervousness of younger ones
Looking out the window five minutes prior to 11'o'clock he saw a family of 6 redheads bustled through the muggle portal. Ignoring all of that he pushed his hand in his jacket and pulled out the latest book he was reading, advanced occumelency guide opening the dog-eared page he got himself comfortable and started reading it.
At the same time girl who sat opposite of him is deep in thought 'she was a heiress to the Greengrass name and fortune, so she had to be very careful with whom she befriended as her parents reminded her. So she decided to put a stoic mask in public but this boy in front of her intrigued her at first sight. Harry potter was an enigma. So she decided to observe him while he observed others'. At 11 o'clock train began to move and leave the station to start the long journey to hogsmade. A uncomfortable silence filled through the compartment but broken by Harry "so Daphne looking forward to hogwarts huh?"
"Of course I am, my sister is quite put out at she couldn't come until next year. Even though I love her she kept ranting about anything. In hogwarts I'd get enough privacy." she replied dryly. "Which house do you think you would be in?" She added
"If I had to choose I'd rather be in Ravenclaw or Slytherin but any house is fine by me as long I get my own room and privacy, as I am heard only these two houses have rooms instead of dormitories." he said "what about you?"
She replied "I believe I'd be in Slytherin."
" then if asked I'd tell to place me Slytherin if only I can spend time with a lovely lady." Harry said cheekily.
But to his amusement a pink color slowly crept on face of her before she composed herself.
"Can I sit here, everywhere else Is full? " a voice interrupted them While harry begun to observe the countryside of Britain. He turned to see one of the red headed boy he seen at the station standing at the opened door of the compartment.
Harry narrowed his on the redheaded boy. According to hogwarts a history any compartment in train will as expand to number of children in it.
"Last I checked there are several empty compartment in the back side of train" Hadrian said narrowing his eyes.
Red headed boy said " I am Ron weasley by the way, are you really harry potter?
Harry replied "no I am Hadrian potter" though Ron is quite busy searching the famous scar on his forehead
"do you have the scar" he asked
" I don't know about THE SCAR but I do have a quite few" he replied sarcastically
"That Is not I mean, I meant the scar from 'you know who' " he replied
"I don't know who" he replied
"He must not be named" Ron said in exasperated tone
"Why he must not be named?, don't he have any name if don't we can name him" he replied in a mock frown
How about "the ripper"
"He is talking about voldemort" Daphne said in a exasperated tone. Even though she flinched after saying the name he had to give to her
Ron flinched and screamed at hearing the name and stormed off of the compartment.
"Well that was fun" harry smirked.
Just as he began to lock the door a bushy haired girl barged into the compartment and asked
"have you seen a toad Neville the boy has lost one" they said in unison "no" and looked at each other and smiled a little.
"Who are you anyway" Daphne enquired.
"I am Hermione granger a muggleborn student I am just surprised as my parents when professor McGonagall said I am a witch and introduced to this world. I wanted to sorted in Gryffindor since headmaster Dumbledore sorted in there" she finished in a excited single breath.
"Merlin she just asked you name" he said dryly.
You're awfully rude" She commented
"Says the girl who barged in here without permission, don't you have a toad to find " Daphne interrupted
decided to change the subject she noticed the Wand in the boy's hand "are you doing magic let's see then".
"well to do magic, could you please take two steps back" He replied
she raised an eyebrow at questionable manner but did as told, she found herself in the hallway. He just locked the door and silenced it. On the other side granger was screeching to open up the door and finally stormed off thinking about arrogant boy.
Daphne chuckled at the cunning displayed by Hadrian. He decided to return to book. After a while trolley lady came Daphne brought licorice wands and he brought chocolate frogs and some honey duke's finest. Half the way Tracey Davis and a black skinned boy named Blaise Zabini joined the ride. Tracey is a brown haired brunette and has a round face and grey eyes. Reminder of journey they played exploding snap. When train stopped at hogsmade station they exited harry saw a half giant waving at them "all first years here" a short while they arrived at the boathouse Hagrid said "four to the boat"
"Ladies first" harry said. They entered the boat and it moved forward every one is amazed at the beautiful castle. The light from the moon bouncing off the water as a beautiful stands there against dark a if created by magic itself. Hadrian and the other first years stood outside the hall, Professor McGonagall who was an elderly woman and the deputy headmistress plus transfiguration teacher, had given them a speech about how whatever house they go into would become their family. She then left, but not before she instructed them to all wait to be called in so they could begin the sorting. Harry had asked Daphne and Tracy if they knew how people were supposed to get sorted but they both didn't know either, neither did Blaise. Apparently it was a traditional thing to not tell people until they actually get sorted. He rolled his eyes at red headed speaking about fighting trolls for sorting.
"So it's true then," A voice said, over the rest of the talking first year. The first years all stopped talking as a blonde boy with grey eyes walked up to Harry, following behind him were two big boys who looked like gorillas and the stereotypical examples of 'all brawn and no brain'. "what they were saying on the train, Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." The other first years began whispering amongst each other as they watched, the boy didn't seem to notice as he continued talking. "This is Crabbe and Goyle," He gestured to the big boys behind him. "and my name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He said with a smirk
Harry was about to respond but was cut off when an amused snort was heard, everyone turned to look at the source of that snort, it happened to be none other than Ron Weasley, the redhead from before.
"Think my name is funny, do you?" Malfoy glared at him. "I don't think I need to ask yours," He sniffed as if he smelt something unpleasant, "red hair and hand me down robes, you must be a Weasley." He said, causing Ron's face to turn red in anger and embarrassment. "You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others," Malfoy said to Harry, "you don't want to be making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you with that." he said as he held out a hand for Harry to shake.
"Hmm," Harry hummed thoughtfully before shaking Malfoy's hand. "I think I can tell the wrong sort of myself so I don't need your help Mr Malfoy".
The bushy haired girl was speaking to herself about the spells she knew. Soon the door to great hall opened.
