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
A familiar yet mysterious cat shows up at Privet Drive Number 4 in the summer of 1985. It's different than Harry remembers. Perhaps a bit too different.
Perhaps a touch too dead.Harry does not grow up completely alone, for he has a wonderful companion in Tom, his lovely pet who just so happens to possess a new cat every couple of years. Somehow, not everyone Harry meets finds Tom as lovely as he does.

Summary
Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.
(If only there was someone who understood...)
A re-telling of the books in which Harry has more than one power the Dark Lord knows not. -

Summary
“Face me like a man… straight backed and proud… the way your father died.”
After the graveyard, Harry Potter comes to realise that he needs a lot more than a disarming spell to face Voldemort, and maybe some not so light magic.
See how a trip to Gringotts, a Diary, some people with some not-so clear motives, and a new mindset change the course of Harry's 5th year, and his life.
