14th August 1988

I was sitting in a chair beside the fountain in the grounds of Potter Castle. An old notebook in my hand. It was the journal of my mother, Lily Potter. I had read through 4 years of her life and now was reading about her 5th year. My father, being the prankster he is, never had bothered to write a journal. This journal along with all the possessions of my parents were recovered by the elves. To my surprise, I had found the lost invisibility cloak, marauder's map, my mother's journals and some books along with their used wand and some clothes. My grandfather had told me that the Invisibility Cloak was a Deathly Hallow. But the legend behind the hallows were not true according to the Books written by Ignotus Peverell that was in the vast Potter library.

(Extract from the book)

We, Antioch, Cadmus and Ignotus, me were raised by our father to be very close. We were intelligent and magically gifted. My oldest brother, Antioch was famous for his powers in battle magic, while Cadmus was an expert in Alchemy and Potions. I meanwhile, was gifted in Warding and the Dark Arts. Considering the fact that our family used to be very gruesome and dangerous to our enemies, it had created a dark and villainous image for us. Fighting and Cutting down the Viking invaders had done nothing, but to increase the fear of public. They were vary of us and in more than one occasion, we found ourselves at attack from our enemies. It is at our late twenties that we came up with the idea of creating the Deathly Hallows. We had created a wand, a stone and an invisibility cloak. The wand that was created using the oldest elder tree we could find and had a core of a thestral was mostly undefeatable. It had allegiance, only to the one who has defeated its previous master. Antioch, being the battle mage had been given the wand who foolishly boasted about it while being drunk. Someone had killed Antioch in his sleep and took the wand. The second hallow, the resurrection stone, could be used to communicate with the dead and was perfect to be used in necromantic rituals. It's allegiance belonged to anyone who used it. Cadmus had taken it and tried to bring back his dead wife, but failed. In grief he had killed himself and the stone was lost in a lake. The third Hallow meanwhile was only loyal to the blood of peverell. It had the power to completely hide a person and his magical aura. It will only work fory desentants. I had created a lie that it was gifted to us by death itself and that the one to unite it will become the master of death, thinking that the people to hold our family possession would kill each other fighting over the hallows. My only daughter is going to be married to the Tribe of Potter and the invisibility cloak along with all my family wealth would be given to them.

I ran my finger over the faint lighting bolt scar on my forehead. It had taken lot of trouble to get the soul piece out of it. But the good thing being that I had all the memories of my nemesis. When I was bought here and the elves had healed me, they had found dark magic and a small soul piece lodged in my scar. As much as I wanted to remove it as fast as I could, it would have the side effect of giving me all of Voldemort's memories. Thus taking the advice of my grandmother, I had to study Occlumency. The soul piece had been removed on my seventh birthday through a tiring and painful ritual found in one of the books. I now knew about Tom Riddle and all his horcruxes and planned on dealing with them after I reached the age of 11.It also means that I had all his knowledge through Hogwarts and Dark Arts. Due to proper nutrition and intake of growth and nutrient potion, I now no longer was a scrawny kid. The ritual to remove the body of impurities and purify magic had resulted in me being two inch taller and having a good body. I no longer had to wear glasses and to me it seemed as my eyes had become more brighter. I was currently practising all magic learnt by Tom and going through advanced Book on Dark Arts in the Potter Castle. Unlike the people believe, Potter family is not as light as it seems. Being the descendants of Peverell, we have fair share of darkness in us. The library of Potter Castle is actually the largest in Britan, unlike the Hogwarts we don't just publicise it. But all the Dark books are kept in the 4th floor next to Lord's Study. There is a blank wall and the contents of the library are only accessible to the Lord, Lady and Heir. I would be able to take my Lordship at the age of 11 as I am the only living member of the family, and I was pretty sure that I'd do a good job because I'm proficient in everything. I have knowledge of both Tom and whatever I read, I am magically gifted and a perfect Occlumens and at the age of 8, I am able to cast all spells taught at Hogwarts till fifth year.

31st July 1991

[Perspective of Third Person]

Harry got dressed for the day. Today would be an important day as his Hogwarts letter would be arriving soon. He had been preparing for this moment for the last six years. He was finally ready. He wore a set of expensive robes for the day as he planned to go to Diagon Alley later. He descended down the stairs and proceeded to the castle's dining room. The elves had prepared his breakfast which was waiting for him on the table. Having his fill, he proceeded to the Lord's study. He really loved the place. It was a large room with a mahogany desk, comfortable chairs and books and rich paintings and objects surrounding them. It made him feel home It gave an air of confidence and displayed the power of the Potter family.

"Good morning Hadrian. I hope you slept well?" asked the portrait of Charlus Potter, Harry's grandfather from his frame about the fireplace.

"I slept well, Grandfather. Good morning to you too Grandmother" he said to the portrait of Dorea Potter nee Black.

Harry walked over to the Potter Crest and just like how he had claimed his place as the heir, recited the words to become a lord. Then the heir ring on his left hand vanished and in it's place stood a platinum ring. He could see the words 'Natus Vincere' engraved on the ring. It was the Potter family motto meaning Born to Conquer.

Just then, Tipsy, Harry's personal elf popped in. "The letter has arrived, Master Hadrian" she said in a calm voice. Harry took it and gave a small smile and thanked the elf. Over the years, he had grown fond of her and Rudolph. He had also come to like the other elves for their devotion and loyalty to him. He looked at the letter.

Mr. Hadrian J Potter

The Master Bedroom,

Potter Castle,

Sherwood Forest, Nottingham,

Nottinghamshire

He opened the letter. He had been accepted and had to send a reply. He had other important stuff to do today.

He took the letter and concentrated. His dark hair lightened till it was blonde. His eyes changed from bright green to blue. His face changed so that no one would ever recognise him as Harry Potter. It was another surprise he had come across when he was 7, Harry was a metamorphmagus. Though only a partial one, though. He couldn't change his height or body density. He could only change his facial features and hair colour. Still, he was very grateful to have been born with the trait. His status as the Boy Who Lived and as an international celebrity meant he couldn't go out in public without creating a storm. He snorted, not that they had a good description of his actual looks either. Boy, were they in for a surprise soon.

He took a piece of parchment and quill, wrote down his reply to be sent to Professor McGonagall. He called Tipsy and told her to post it only later that night.

He went to the Entrance Hall, calmed himself and kept his face emotionless. It was going to be the first time he was going to leave the Castle, even if only for shopping. He walked to the fireplace, took a pinch of floo powder and said "Diagon Alley". Green flames enveloped him. A couple of seconds later, he landed gracefully out of the fireplace. With a flick of his fingers, the soot vanished, and he proceeded down the Alley towards Gringotts.

When he entered the bank, he bowed to the Goblin guards at the entrance of the doors and went down the hall to a teller. He wanted to meet the Potter Account Manager and also get an inheritance test done. "Greetings Master Goblin, I'm here for an appointment with Lord Rangnok, Account Manager of the Potters. Please inform him that his client has arrived", Harry said to the teller in perfect Gobbledegook, startling the other witches and wizards in the bank.

The elderly Goblin gave Harry a toothy grin and called for another goblin to show him to Rangok's office. Harry followed him and entered an office. It was large and there was an old, yet scary looking goblin sitting at the desk. He motioned for Harry to take his seat.

"At last It's good to see you Lord Potter" said Rangnok

"Greetings Lord Rangok, please call me Hadrian." he greeted to the warrior.

"Well you may call me Rangnok, Hadrian. Now what business do you have with me?"

"Well At first I would like a pouch directly connected to my trust vault and then I would like an inheritance test" Harry said. Being 11, his trust vault now held 55,000 galleons. While being Lord gave him access to the Family Vault, he wanted to keep his trust vault for personal uses.

Rangnok nodded and handed over a pouch to him. Next, he took a parchment, and handed that along with a silver knife."You just have to prick your finger and let 3 drops fall into the parchment."

Harry did as asked and words began to form in the parchment.

Inheritance Test

Hadrian James Potter

Parents: James Charles Potter and Lily Marie Potter nee Evans

Hier to Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter (Father)

Hier to Ancient Magical House of Emrys (Mother)

Hier to Ancient and Most Noble House of Black (Father)

Surely the Potter and Black hiership was no surprise as Harry did know that his grandmother was a black. He wouldn't be able to claim the lordship of house black as Sirius was still alive. Harry wanted to free Sirius as he knew that Peter Pettigrew was the actual secret keeper from his mother's journal. But it turns out that Harry is the descendant of Merlin and that the line may have been squibbed out until Lily got magic. After getting over his shock, a small smile appeared on Harry's face. Rangnok who was looking the spectacle felt a shiver go down his spine. 'This is going to be good. I would be able to use this to my advantage and control the sheep of the wizarding world' thought Harry.

"Rangnok I would like to claim the lordship of house Emrys now." said Harry. At Rangnok's nod he took out his wand and recited," I Hadrian James Potter, hier to Ancient Magical House of Emrys, do hearby take my place as the Lord of House of Emrys and solemnly swear on my magic and my life to uphold the values and strive for the betterment of my house and its members." Finishing the statement, a golden aura filled around him and waiting a long time as of judging him it seeped into his skin. A white ring with a golden phoenix appeared on his left middle finger. His eyes just changed a little and there was a thin golden circle around the bright emerald ones, but no one noticed. Harry meanwhile felt a large amount of information in his head. 'Wealth and valuables of Emrys is hidden in a cave under a mountain in Pembrokeshire.' Harry wanted to just run and check what was in there but he couldn't. He had shopping to do.

"Congratulations Lord Potter-Emrys. Now I'm sure you know, but just to inform you, You will have to appoint two proxies to both hous Potter and Emrys. Along with that you will have to attend the Wizengamot meeting at the Winter Solstice."said Rangnok

Harry was not worried about that. In fact, he was happy to enter Wizarding politics. He knew that the current ministry was corrupt and incompetent. He was happy to shake things up and was looking forward to take his place. After all if he wanted to catch Pettigrew and free Sirius one day, he needed Political clout. Playing politics was also important for his plans for the future. And he held 5 votes from Potter seat and 7 votes from Emrys seat. It along with his status as the boy-who-lived is going to make him one of the most powerful person in British Wizarding Politics. The Wizengamot was the successor of the Camelot. It was formed under Merlin for King Arthur. Currently it contains 5 types of Houses, Most Ancient and Most Noble House with 5 votes each, Ancient Houses with 4 votes, Noble Houses with 3 votes, Minor Houses with 2 votes and Lesser Houses with 1 votes each. The Wizengamot also contains Head of Departments who has 2 votes each and 15 elected representatives with 1 vote each. There are 7 Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses, Longbottom, Bones, Potter, Greengrass, Black, Selwyn and Gaunt. The Gaunt house has died out, Well not died out because Tom Riddle is a Gaunt, but the seat is empty. The Ancient Houses are Abbot, Davies, Macmillan, Flint, Nott, Avery, etc, while Noble Houses include Lestrange, Malfoy, Weasley, Bulstrode, Parkinson, Smith, Hopkins, etc. Minor houses are like House Dumbledore, Fudge, etc. The houses that were thought to have gone are Ancient Magical Houses who used to have 7 votes. Some of them are Peverell, Emrys, Le Fay, Pendragon, etc. The Wizengamot currently has two main blocks, Light headed by Dumbledore and his supporters and Dark headed by House of Malfoy and his group. Harry wanted to be part of neither as his views were neutal. The neutal block of the Wizengamot was small and less powerful. It was headed by the Greengrass. Even though the people expected Harry to be light, he believed that all magic should be allowed to practice. He had nothing against using dark magic for defence. He was also not a muggle lover. Sure he had no problems with the muggleborn and halfblood, but he hated muggles due to the treatment of Dursleys. He wasn't planning on slaughtering them all like Voldemort did, but he believed in seperating magical and muggle world. The Darks ideas of hating muggleborn is also not liked by him. So he planned on joining the neutrals. He had conducted research on Lord Greengrass and found that he was a nice guy. Harry's grandfather Charles Potter had started the Great Alliance at the time of Grindelwald War. It had broken up during Voldemort's rise and Harry planned on bringing the Alliance back. Shaking his thoughts, Harry said, "Thank you Rangnok, my buisness with you is done. May your gold flow"

"And may your enemies be crushed, Hadrian. Good day"

Harry walked out of Gringotts and he knew that a busy day of shopping awaited him. He may waste a lot of money, but he thought of spoiling himself a little. After all he was Lord of House Potter, he had to behave the part.
