I opened my eyes and blinked at the sudden flood of light. The room he was in was luxurious. It held grand king sized bed with violet curtains covering what he assumed to be a window. The wall opposite to him held a large red rectangle with two golden horses with wings and face of an eagle(to be later identified as Potter Crest) bowing to a large golden letter P. The furniture screamed wealth.

"Master Potter is awake" came an squeak from my side. I startled at the sudden and unknown voice. Next to me was a small weird looking creature in a nice dress with large eyes and flappy ears.

"Uhh...Hello?" I said hesitantly.

"Tipsy is grateful to rescue Master Potter sir. The bad muggles hurt you." said the thing.

"What are you?" I asked with confusion. I wasn't worried that the thing might attack me.

"Tipsy is a house elf. Tipsy serve Master Potter" Said the thing, now identified as Tipsy.

"Where am I? What happened?" Questions flooded into my mind.

"Master is at Potter Castle. Tipsy understood that master is hurt and rescued you from the bad muggles. We elves healed you" Said Tipsy.

"Potter Castle?"

"Yes Master Potter sir. Ancestral home and seat of the Potter Family"

"You mean my family? No, you must be mistaken. I can't have such a nice home. My parents...they died in a car crash"

The house elf looked taken aback for a second, then with eyes brimming with tears it said "Bad muggles lied to sir. Master James and Mistress Lily were killed. Bad wizard kill them."

"Wait wizard? As in magic? But magic's not real" Uncle Vernon had said so. 'It wouldn't be the first time he lied to you' Said a small voice in my head.

"Master don't know about magic? Wait Master Potter sir, Tipsy be right back." Squeaked the elf and popped away.

I was confused. What is a House elf? Magic can't be real, right? 'Then how do you explain the things happening around you?' A small part of me wanted this to be true. To be different from them. To be...better. Suddenly with a pop, Tipsy was standing beside me, but along with her, there was another well dressed elf with a badge.

"Good Morning Master Potter. I am Rudolph, the Head elf of house Potter. Tipsy said that you are unaware of magic and your Heritage. But before we get on to that, How do you feel? It was a nasty wound you had." Said the elf, now identified as Rudolph.

"I feel great actually. But what is going on? I mean I just woke up in a big room where a weird looking creature just told me that my relatives lied to me and babbled about magic and stuff?" While Tipsy was nice and gentle, Rudolph apparently looked like he had proper intelligence. His look and speech was different. Furthermore, he appeared to be old. Yes very much older than Tipsy, but yet fit and healthy.

"Master Potter sir, As I said, My name is Rudolph. I have been a Potter family elf for around 200 years and held the Head elf position for 70 years. And yes, magic is real. I am a magical creature called House elf. We are bound to wizards or magical houses. I am bound to House Potter, meaning that the magic around the castle will help me live, while I serve the members of the family. You, Hadrian James Potter is currently the only alive member of House Potter. Your parents, Lord James and Lady Lily, were killed when you were 15 months old by a dark wizard named Lord Voldemort. Magical Britan was in a state of civil war and your parents fought against the dark lord, whose motive in short, was to kill everyone related with non-magicals and rule over Britan. Non magicals are called Muggles in Britan, while a magical child born to muggles are called muggleborn. Magicals that are born with four magical grandparents are called a Pureblood. Your father was Pureblood, while your mother was a muggleborn, making you a halfblood. On October 31st 1981, the dark lord Voldemort attacked you and your parents who were in hiding at a cottage in Godric's Hollow and murdered them. But when he cast the killing curse on you, you somehow not only survived but managed to kill or in my opinion fatally injure the dark lord. The Dark lord has not been seen for over 4 years and since the people believe that you saved them, they hail you as a hero and coined the term boy-who-lived for you. Now Tipsy and I will go to get you something to eat, while you may let my words sink in" Said the elf and they popped away.

'Oh shitt' I was gobsmacked. I had just a lot of things to process 'So, one I'm a wizard. Two, My parents were killed by a bad guy. Three, I am apparently a hero. Four, I own this huge house. Five, I also own servants and Six, The bad guy is probably not dead and will want revenge' I didn't know what to do. My life had just took a large turn. My parents were not drunks who died in a car crash. 'That's good'

But this new world is dangerous, and I'm going to be at its center. 'Knowledge. Yes Knowledge was power. I just have to get to know this world before someone would try to kill me. I'll have to know my allies and enemies. The elves seem nice enough and they healed me. I'll have to look what resources I'll have.'

Rudolph popped beside me and handed me a large tray. It was filled with food and was more than what I was allowed to eat at the Dursleys. Only after the scent hitting me, did I realise how hungry I was and started to eat.

I was in the library reading a book on Magical houses. It has been 3 days since I arrived at Potter Castle. 3 life Changing days. I had spoken to Rudolph a lot and got to know the basics of this new world. I also had found the book A muggleborn's guide to the magical world. It was perfect and now I was in the stage of planning my life. I knew that I can only go to Hogwarts, the magical school after I turn 11. I wanted to be the best and make my parents proud. So after I learnt the basics, the elves were going to start my training with the help of the portraits. The portraits were a surprising discovery. They seemed alive and were able to respond to me. Even though there were no potrait of my parents, My grandparents, Charles and Dorea were very helpful. They had both agreed that Voldemort is still a threat and that I should train a lot. In order to ensure that no one could reach me, they had advised me to activate all wards of Potter Castle. That was when I found my heritage and surprised at how rich I was.

Flashback

I was walking towards the Lord's Study. I still hadn't explored all of the castle and Rudolph was accompanying me. The lord's study was grand with a large table to one side while the majestic Potter Crest stood against the other. In order for me to be able to control the wards, I'll have to take my place as the heir. I stood before the crest and recited the lines given to me by Rudolph earlier. "I, Hadrian James Potter, do hearby take my place as the heir of Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter and swear on my magic and my life to uphold the values and act to bring glory to my house."

As I finished the words, I was surrounded by a red aura and it seeped into my skin. Later on the ring finger of my left hand, there was a ring signifying my place."Congratulations Master" Said Rudolph,"Now you just have to open place your hand top of the book". I looked over to the table and saw a thick red book with a golden P on top. I went over and placed my hand as instructed. I felt something prick my finger and the book glowed. I opened to the first page and saw words began to form.

Hadrian James Potter

Father: James Charles Potter (Deceased)

Mother: Lily Marie Potter nee Evans (Deceased)

Skipping over to the next page I saw a financial portfolio of the Potter Family and was shocked. I knew that 1 Galleon was equal to 5 British Pounds and that 17 silver sickles made a galleon while 29 bronze knuts made a sickle.

Seeing my shocked expression, Rudolph laughed and said,"Master, The Potter family is the sixth richest in the world". I just nodded and went through the next pages. One contained investments, while other had Properties.The next one caught my eye, the two Potter businesses- Farms across North America and Mines of Mithril. Both were run by elves alone. The Potter Castle alone had over 200 elves. Mithril was a rare magical metal used in making wardstones and were considered precious by Dwarves. Potters alone supplied 72% of World's Mithril supply, and a large amount was stocked under Potter Castle as they were very valuable. Turning to the Wards Section, I activated all wards. But the most important was the Peverell Ward. The Potter Castle actually belonged to the Peverells around a thousand years ago and was gifted to us when the only daughter of Ignotus Peverell married into the family. The Peverell Ward was and is unknown to us. It basically removes the Area from Earth and puts it in a seperate dimension. The Castle will be physically inaccessible and travel would only be possible through apparition, portkey or floo travel. Elves could just pop away whenever they wished so.

I had taken the wand of my Ancestor, Fleamont Potter who was a Duelling champion of his time. It was made from elder wood had a phoneix feather as its core. I was going to practice magic but not restricted to school curriculum. Even though Dark Arts is beyond my reach at this age, My grandparents had agreed to help me do some rituals to enhance my body and mind. Since I had eidetic memory, I had no worrys on grasping theory. Rudolph had told me that I had a large magical core for someone my age and that had made me very happy. It may take a while, but I will strive to be the best.
