Maybe someday this will be expanded into an actual story, but for now, enjoy! Each chapter is a year, and within the year the snippets are in chronological order. They are all from Harry's point of view and are only bits and pieces of the full story of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Wayne.

Partially inspired by jbramx2's art on DeviantArt, because I looked at that art and it was my headcannon in graphic form! You should definitely check it out! And that is where Cass' origins come from, since that was really the only thing I hadn't already figured out.

Does contain some slurs, but it's Draco Malfoy. Were you expecting differently?

I Owneth Nothing...eth.

Harry and Ron had just fallen into an awkward silence when the door to the compartment opened again. An older boy stuck his head in the door and grinned at them before looking back over his shoulder.

"What about here, Cass?"

He stepped to the side, and a girl, a little smaller than Harry peeked in, peering through a short curtain of smooth black hair with dark slanted eyes. She smiled shyly at Harry and he smiled back. Ron squinted up at the boy.

"Who're you?"

The boy grinned again, a flash of very white teeth in a tan face. "You're Ron Weasley right?" Ron nodded slowly. The older boy stuck a hand out. "Dick Grayson," he gestured over his shoulder. "My brother, Jason Todd, and sister, Cassandra Cain." He held his hand out to Harry next.

"Harry Potter." Harry said reluctantly. Grayson just nodded. "Nice to meet you." He exchanged glances with the girl, then nudged her into the compartment. "Cass is a first year, like you two. Have fun!"

He backed up, closed the door, and Harry could hear laughter disappearing down the car.

Cassandra glanced up from the floor with a small, shy smile. "May I stay?"

Ron bristled, but Harry nodded and scooted farther down the bench so there was room for her.

"I'm adopted." Cassandra explained quietly. "We all are, more or less. Mr. Wayne lets us live with him now."

"Wait." Ron sat up straighter. "Wayne? As in Bruce Wayne? The richest pureblood wizard in Britain?"

Cassandra shrugged. "Yes. He's nice."

"Seems a bit thick though." Ron frowned. "Not the cleverest kneazle in the castle."

Cassandra gave him a stern look. "Not nice to talk about people you don't know."

Fortunately, Harry's chocolate frog escaped and by the time they'd caught it again the subject had been dropped.

Todd is gleeful as he watches Harry catch snitch after snitch, dodging the bludgers he and the other reserve beater hit at him with ease, the Weasley twins hooting from the sidelines. When practice is finally over and they come down to the ground, Harry is surprised to find himself caught up in a hug by the enthusiastic second year.

"We are going to smash them!" the older boy crows, his speech sharpening as his near-cockney London accent becomes stronger. "Dickie-bird won't know what 'it 'im!"

Harry stopped dead on the stairs and blinked down at the common room.

"Uhhh…"

Cassandra smiled and waved up at him and Grayson gave a huge grin.

"Hey Harry! What's up?"

Harry blinked again. He was pretty sure he wasn't dreaming the two Hufflepuffs in the Gryffindor common room. He looked around. Why were they here? Todd wasn't anywhere in sight, how did they even get in?

"Come join us!" Grayson nodded at him. "We're waiting for Hannah, Susan, Neville, and Hermione, but you are welcome to join in."

"Join what?" Harry asked, approaching cautiously, noting the books spread around the coffee table surface. Neither Grayson nor Cassandra were using any of the over-stuffed chairs, instead opting to sit cross-legged on the carpet. (Well, Cassandra was cross-legged. Harry wasn't sure what to call the uncomfortable looking tangle Grayson was in.) The books were for both Herbology and History of Magic as well as one or two for Charms.

"Study group." Cassandra explained. "Dick is going to help us with our homework."

"So."

Ron startles when Jason Todd leans over the back of the sofa, his head low enough that Hermione and Harry on either side pull back a little.

"You fought a troll." He gives them all assessing looks before a frankly disturbing grin creeps across his face and he straightens up. He pats Hermione and Ron on the head and ruffles Harry's hair before he turns and walks off, whistling as if nothing had happened.

Harry watches him go, feeling very confused.

"He's completely batty." Ron says, sounding almost awed. "The whole lot of them are."

Grayson just shrugs. "Maybe. Or maybe he knows that being underestimated is one of the most powerful weapons you can have." His laugh is a lot more like a very disturbing cackle and has Harry and the twins both leaning around to look at him more closely.

He flips off the wall into the snow, blinking back up at them innocently. "But then, I wouldn't know anything about that, would I. I'm just a Hufflepuff after all, hai?" Then he sticks his hands in his pockets and bounces off, whistling cheerfully.

Fred turns to Jason.

"Your brother is evil."

Jason just hums, like this is old news. "The Hufflepuffs are secretly planning to take over the world. They are just lulling us into a false sense of security and waiting until Dick is legal so they can set him up as supreme dictator."

"Really Cain?" Malfoy sneers down at them. "You are so pathetic that you got held back a year, you must be even stupider than that mudblood gutter rat 'brother' of yours and the gypsy half-breed. What would you know about wandless magic?"

Cassandra just looked at him with her even gaze, her head tilted to the side slightly. Her eyes got that faraway look in them they did sometimes. "Being cruel to other children won't make your father love you." She said quietly, absently. "It will just make you into a bully and chase away other people who could care about you."

She turned on her heel and marched off, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Susan following her in awkward silence.

Professor Mcgonagall sighed and looked around the slightly damaged hallway before staring up at the ceiling. "If a certain Ravenclaw prefect were to have any idea as to how this disaster came about, then she would be advised to be more cautious next time she and her partner in crime experiment with hover charms." She looked back down. "But then you wouldn't know anything about that would you Miss Gordon."

The sixth year shrugged, a look of demure innocence on her face that matched Grayson's beside her. "Not a clue Professor."

Harry was under the impression that he wasn't allowed visitors, so Cassandra slipping up to his bed as he lay there that night, hoping he'd be released in the morning, was a surprise. She sat a moment, looking at him seriously until Harry dropped his gaze, unable to meet her eyes any longer.

He was surprised to feel the light brush of her lips against his forehead and looked back up as she stood.

"Next time," she said solemnly, patting him on the head like a puppy. "Dick says come to us. We can help and you won't have to fight alone."

He blinked and she was gone.

Harry watched as Jason, Cassandra, and Grayson clustered around an older man in a suit, talking over each other excitedly. As they reached the barrier, Cassandra turned around and looked straight at Harry as if she knew he was watching.

He raised a hand awkwardly to wave. She smiled and waved back before following her family through the barrier.

If anyone has requests for any particular moments from the books they would like to see, I am willing to consider them! I'd love suggestions actually.
