Summary
“Who are the marauders?”
“They’re teen royalty,” Evan says, glancing over at the field, and Remus follows his gaze to a trio of boys making their way out onto the field, wind artfully tousling their hair like they’re currently shooting a shampoo commercial. “If Hogsmeade was The Daily Prophet, they would always be on the cover.”
“That one there, that’s James Potter,” Barty says, pointing at the dark skinned boy with messy hair and gold rimmed glasses, his gym uniform appearing to be several sizes too small. “He is one of the dumbest guys you will ever meet. Evan sat next to him in English last year.”
“He asked me how to spell orange.”
“And that little one, that’s Peter Pettigrew,” Barty continues, pointing out the smaller blonde boy, a muggle cell phone pressed against his ear, so focused on his call that he doesn’t even notice the dodgeball before it bounces off the side of his head. “Peter Pettigrew knows everyone’s business. He knows everything about everyone.”
“And evil takes human form in Sirius Black,” Barty says darkly, an unpleasant expression crossing his face.

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.

Summary
What if Peter Pettigrew had been caught?
What if Sirius Black never went to Azkaban?In a single split-second decision, the course of the wizarding world changes. Instead of prison, Sirius Black finds himself raising Harry James Potter—alongside Remus Lupin and, through reluctant necessity (and fate), Severus Snape.
Three men. One child. And a life shaped not by prophecy, but by choice.
Raised with as many last names as parents, Harry grows up loved—fiercely, if not always gently. Trained in magic, politics, memory, and legacy, he learns that to love is not to shield, but to prepare. He isn’t hidden from the dark—he’s taught how to walk through it.
Part I: A childhood of broken men, healing bonds, and quiet resilience. (Chapters 1–28 | 221k words)
Part II: Slytherin Harry at Hogwarts. Ambitious, kind, loyal to a fault, and destined to surprise them all. (Ongoing)Not the Boy Who Lived they expected. And perhaps something more powerful: a boy who was loved.
