Chapter 2
It had been two months since Harry, or now known as Hadrian, began to live with his grandparents. The place that they were staying at was a castle that Potters built; every brick in the Castle was enchanted by Ancient and powerful Potters, making the place a literal magical fortress.
The Castle itself was made of black and red bricks that were enchanted and fortified by his ancestors. The hallway to the drawing room was filled with portraits and trophies. Many suits of armor also lined the hallway.
But what many people didn't know was that the suit of armor that lined inside the hallway was one of the Castle protections. The armour could come to life if the Castle was under attack. His grandfather used the spirit of dead Grindelwald followers to make the armour live. To him, death was too easy for them.
One day when Harry was with his Grandparents his grandfather started to tell him the history of great House of Potter.
The House of Potter was the most ancient and noble house that originated in ancient Rome. During the time of the Roman Empire, the entire world feared the image of a black dragon in a field of red – the banners of the House of kings conquered both Britain and part of the Roman empire . Civilians and most enemies of Rome alike surrendered once they saw an inkling of the House of Potter
The House of Potter has also produced many war mages, making the family reputation as a war monger grew in both the Romans and Britain. It was their fear that led the Roman Senate to try to end the family by sending five Roman legions to the Potter land. The attack on the family had failed because rather than fighting the Potters, the legion joined.
The Senate foolishly believed that the legion would fight against their own general when their loyalty had been cemented to the family. Soldiers believed people who had gone through hell with them more than cowards who hide behind a wall.
The Potters and the legion then quickly joined with Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon, and together they marched to Rome. After the victory of Julius Caesar and the potters in the civil war, the potter family reputation as untouchable and powerful mages was cemented with the death of the Senate and the beginning of the Roman Empire the potter power was unrivalled.
It wasn't until the Roman Empire was split in two that the potter came back to their home land to Britain – or Britannia, as the Romans knew it at the time. The House of Potter quickly was able to conquer and rule magical Britain for hundreds of years and finally potters established wizengamot with the help of merlin and gave them power to run magical Britain but still they maintained a large army and started to increase their wealth.
The Potter family were also married to many ancient families, muggles and wizards alike; the most significant families were the Peverells and the Gryffindor family. The Peverells were a family known in ancient times for their practice in obscure magic – magic like necromancy and other fields that pushed the boundaries of reality and time itself. The Peverell family came from ancient Egypt, with many of them being Pharaohs and the Egyptian high priests and priestesses.
The most notable thing the Peverell family ever created was the Deathly Hallows: three items said to be blessed by Death itself; the elder wand, the resurrection stone, and the cloak of invisibility. This item, if joined together, made the one who united them the master of death. Many had tried to become the master of death but all failed.
The other thing the Peverell family created was the book of death. A book that was said contained the evilest and vile thing that was ever created. The book itself was made using human skin and its text was written in their blood. The book contained many ancient curses and rituals from ancient Egypt.
The Peverell family married into the Potter family during the twelfth century, with Iolanthe Peverell marrying into the Potter family. She was the granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell, the youngest brother of the three brothers that created the Deathly Hallows. In the absence of male heirs, she, the eldest of her generation, had inherited her grandfather's legendary invisibility cloak. It was Iolanthe that explained to Hardwin the tradition in her family that the possession of this cloak had to remain a secret, and her new husband respected her wishes. From then on, the cloak was handed down to the eldest in each new generation.
The Gryffindors were a family that was the descendants of the Viking invaders of Britain. The family was known as a family that practiced battle magic; the most well-known and powerful of their family was Godric Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts. Godric Gryffindor's daughter married into the Potter family before he died. The family continued living in secrecy and building their fortune.

The Global Wizarding War marked the return of the black dragon. That is one the reasons that Dumbledore wanted Charlus Potter to join his Order of the Phoenix. The Potter family have the biggest personal army in the wizarding world and the muggle world and have the financial power to wage war for the next Hundred generations . Making anyone they support have a better chance of winning any war. While he didn't have the guts to ask and which would never happen, potters joining someone to fight it was impossible.
It wasn't until the Global Wizarding War that the banner of the black dragon was feared again. During the early rise of Grindelwald, his grandfather was neutral believing his word of wizard ruling the muggles. But Grindelwald's obsession with the deathly hallow and finding out that the Potter family as a descendant of the Peverell brother ordered the capture of his great-grandfather Henry potter in Paris. The kidnapping failed, resulting in the death of Henry and Lolanthe potter.
His grandfather was in the Russian empire at the time of the attack, attending his sister, Elizabeth Potter's wedding with the Russian prince, Alexander Romanov.
When he heard the death of his father and mother in the hand of Grindelwald, his wrath knew no bounds; Charlus quickly took charge of the Potter family and raised its banner. He joined forces with the Russian legion and bathed Europe in flames.
His grandfather had gained the title 'Butcher of Leningrad' when he had killed every Grindelwald follower in Leningrad. Charlus then started retaking every conquered nation in the hands of Grindelwald and carved a bloody path through Europe for Grindelwald's head.
But before he could kill Grindelwald Dumbledore joined the war and defeated Grindelwald in what many call the duel of centuries. Charlus knew he was hiding a story which he had to tell Harry someday about the darkest time of the Potter family, the Potter Massacre.
