    Summary

    The Dursleys have had enough and decided well, since Harry is now a teenager surely he can work for his own keep and sent him off to get a job as they will no longer be providing him with his needs (not like they did that anyway) and surely he can start helping pay the bills. Harry fortunately found a job that is nearby, a grocery store. As Harry settles in on this new routine he gets used it until one day on the checkout line he runs into the last person he wants to see.

    "P-professor Snape?"

    "Potter!"

    For Harry it appears to be that things seem to be getting worse but finds that perhaps this is the start of something good.

    Your average pre-3rd year severitus fic. Wanted to try my hand at it (I am hungry for severitus fanfiction, and therefore must write my own)

    Summary

    Harry, having grown up a little more rough around the edges than Dumbledore would have hoped for, decided to embrace the part of himself that the Hat said would do well in Slytherin. But instead of letting it sort him amongst the snakes, he decided to do it his way—by using the foolhardy bravery that Gryffindor was known for to hide the cunning he kept close to his chest.

    Harry begins his journey into the magical world, unknowingly following his parents footsteps far closer than anyone could have expected. Of course, to be able to notice this, people would have first had to have known the path his parents actually took. Hidden heritages and unexpected inheritances lead to chaos as two generations of marauders come together to save the world from the havoc created by prejudice and ego.

    The title comes from the saying "if you can't blow them away with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit".

    Summary

    Quick note: I accidentally used the series summary as the work summary before. It's been corrected now — sorry about that!

    _______

    Harry Potter killed a basilisk.
    Drove off dozen of Dementors.
    Survived a tournament designed to break him.

    And still, he is sent out of the room when the adults begin to decide his future.

    An old magical artifact offers him a possibility:
    a life in which he is not merely a symbol — but a priority.

    When a long-forgotten guardianship is activated and political tensions begin to fracture Hogwarts, it isn’t only the balance of power that shifts. It’s Harry’s closest relationships.

    Some friendships are built on habit.
    Others on choice.

    And this time, when the doors close —
    Harry stays.
