Summary
Harry thought he knew who he was.
Then a blood test at Gringotts told him otherwise.
He went there for money, and left with a new name, a second homeland and contracts upon contracts.
He doesn’t understand all of it.
He does understand that if he plays everything right, he will have freedom.
And Harry craves freedom more than anything.

English is not my first language, it's my 5th. I'm also writing this on a 10 year old MacBook that barely works anymore. Do whatever with that info.

Summary
AU. Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, just a lonely orphan who goes to Hogwarts interested in learning Potions and making friends. But his Potions professor hates him, and Harry can make few friends when he has to conceal his snake familiar and his Parseltongue—and that he seems capable of bringing small animal constructs to life. Blaise Zabini is one of the few people invited into Harry’s secrets, a relationship that grows to be more and more important to both of them as the years pass.

Summary
Just like the many amazing Slytherin Harry Potter fics, this is my take on what would happen if Harry Potter were just a little bit smarter, a little bit crueler, and acted a little bit more like the Slytherin we knew he could be.
Takes inspiration from too many stories to count, but includes tropes like Slytherin Harry, awesome goblins, Dumbledore bashing, and Harry destroying any machinations laid out for him simply by existing and giving things a second thought. He refuses to be anybody's puppet.
After Harry is introduced to the wizarding world, some red flags are raised and questions left unanswered, so he decides to ditch his babysitter and return to Diagon Alley unsupervised. Harry returns to the bank and finds that Dumbledore has been manipulating everything from behind the scenes. Eager to leave the Dursleys behind, Hadrian - he learned his name was - will do whatever it takes to get out from under Dumbledore's thumb, even if it means walking a darker path than expected of the Wizarding world's Savior.
We follow Hadrian on his journey as he explores the wixen world, makes new friends, makes new enemies, and makes plans to ensure that he is never used as a pawn again.
