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 was introduced to the wizarding world, some red flags were raised and questions left unanswered, so he decided to ditch his babysitter and return to Diagon Alley unsupervised. Harry returned to the bank and found that Dumbledore had 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
All potions come with a warning. A warning that was taught to Potions Masters only and seemed to be lost over time as less and less Potions Masters seem to remember them. For example, in an ancient book about different versions of Polyjuice Potion, there are numerous side effects and warnings until on the last page, there is one without any.
The one that is usually taught.
Not the one that Hermione found in their second year.
And not the one they actually try.
Had Hermione found the ancient book with the warnings, she wouldn’t have brewed it. But as fate likes to play with the Golden Trio, she didn’t. Otherwise she would have read the following words above the potions.
Not to hide thy visage but showeth thy true one.
And now Harry, Hermione and Ron have to come to terms with what has been done to them. They will find new friends, allies and enemies.

Summary
Harry has some weird words on his left wrist. That must be one of those strange things that Aunt Petunia hates so much. But it's okay! He likes them.
Then, it all turns even weirder. Hogwarts, magic, a Headmaster and a Dark Lord await Harry - he would prefer if they all just left him alone, thank you very much.
But when has it ever mattered what Harry wants?
