Summary
Hadrian Potter rarely went looking for trouble, but it always seemed to find him.
After discovering the world of magic, facing down a mountain troll, and surviving an encounter with the Dark Lord – resulting in the death of his defense professor at Hadrian’s own hands – Hadrian Potter faces the seemingly insurmountable task of returning to normal life. He must continue to live as if all were well, even after Voldemort sends him a letter offering the chance to find out what the actual goals of Voldemort are and why the Dark Lord waged war on magical Britain decades ago.
Can Hadrian put aside his resentment for the man who killed his parents long enough to learn the truth? What should he do when his friends start to notice that he starts acting strangely, asking questions that no one has the answers to? He's the heir to three Ancient and Noble Houses; he has more to do than just play games. Hadrian has an opportunity to find out why Voldemort targeted him and his family, but is he brave enough, clever enough, to find out without changing the fate of the world as he knows it?
What would change if Harry Potter were a Slytherin and hated Dumbledore more than he hated the Dark Lord?

Summary
Just like the many amazing Slytherin Harry Potter fics, this is my take on what would happen if Harry Potter was 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.

Summary
In 1993, Gilderoy Lockhart points a stolen wand at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with the intent to Obliviate them. The wand doesn't backfire. Gilderoy's "discovery" of the Chamber of Secrets is a short-term success.
Other consequences are not short-term at all.
Archived Author's Notes:
I was watching the Chamber of Secrets movie several years back when the scene in question began to play...and immediately I wanted to know what would happen if the wand had done what it was supposed to do. The answer got very complicated, very, *very* quickly.Blame Edgar Allan Poe for the title.
Beta work by Norcumi and Mrs_Stanley. Brit Spellcheck will be performed...soon.
*I use the first 7 books and the Tales of Beedle the Bard as canon, but there are moments from the films used because they left me with fun things to play with.
