Hadrian James Potter was having the time of his life. He was being loved, he was wanted and he was being given what he needed. Family. Harry had decided that when he and Cassiopeia had moved into number one Privet Drive that he would be going back to school, but this time he would be at a very prestigious private school for people that had loads of money, which was o problem for Harry. Harry had also decided to take an excelled speed program, which cost nearly five times the standard fees, but was well worth it. Harry had decided that he would want to finish his muggle subjects before e would go to Hogwarts, which he did. Harry had finished his senior year with A+'s in Mathematics (Higher Grade); Physical science; Advanced Chemistry; Advanced Biology; Accountancy and Business studies. But that didn't mean that harry had forgotten about his magical subjects. Harry had excelled at his magical subjects, such as his parsel magic, which he mastered, in two years, as well as his training to master his shadow mage form, and his metamorphmagus, shapeshifter and animagus forms. Harry had decided that he would only master the form of five animals, being, a Royal Phoenix, a ShadowWalker Wolf Cub, a Green and purple Basilisk, and finally he mastered the form of a simple house cat, a Siamese cat to be exact. He had a brown face with the sunny blonde coat and brown paws, with the most beautiful Green eyes.

Harry had been receiving weekly updates on the old fool and his cronies, and Harry had new 'dirt' to add to the Little 'Black' book weekly. Harry had also learnt how to act, and how not to act around Dumbledore, from Phineas as well as Headmaster Armando Dippett, who had visited once with Phineas, to decide that he had taken a liking to Harry and had started to help Harry. Harry had learnt that Dumbles loved using the confundus as well as compulsion charms in some cases, and that he would also use legillimency to plant fake feelings of trust and love and 'grandfatherly' thoughts in a person's mind. Harry had also learnt that Dumbledore's gang consisted of all of the Weasley's, the werewolf, Snape, a mudblood named Hermione Granger, Kingsley Shackelbolt, and Nymphadora Black –well Tonks now- (who would have to be spoken too), Emeline Vance, Aberforth Dumbledore, Madame Rosmerta (who was under the imperius,), Minerva McGonagall and Igor Karkeroff. Just to name a few.

Harry had taken to walking around in his cat form and sitting on Cassie's lap, while she would scratch his head. Harry also focussed on trying to help Walburga. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This basically deteriorated her memory.

Harry had been making weekly memory altering potions for the muggles and fed it to them, while Cassie kept them under the Imperius curse.

Young Harry had finally learnt how to adapt to his environment and how to become a child again. Cassie had taught Harry how to become an exceptional actor as well as an exceptionally charming young lad. Harry had also started to master his shadow mage form, where he could disappear in the shadow realm, as well as stop time and do what needed to be done.
Harry had also learnt how to make images out of shadows and Light. And make them quite convincing.

Harry had also mastered two forms, an older version of himself, which he would use when they were traveling as well as a more dodgy character, which he had dubbed Lord Morphin Gaunt II, for when he had to venture into Knockturn alley.

Harry had trained himself to be able to see through glamour's, potions, charms, curses, etc. and also to be able to observe his environment with one look and remember everything. Harry had also learnt not to underestimate anybody. Cassie showed Harry memories of previous house members duelling, fighting, sparring, and fencing and so on. And Harry had learnt a great deal from watching and pointing out everybody's mistakes. Harry had also learnt how to speak perfect and fluent Latin, Gobbledegook, Dutch, Bulgarian, Italian and Welsh. Harry had figured out, that if you are fluent in the language, than your spell casting would be a lot more affective and easier to cast. It wasn't general knowledge, that spells cast in magical languages were stronger and naturally powerful, especially with curse breaking and warding.

Cassiopeia Black was finally happy with her life. The only other time she was so happy, was when she was with Tom, and when she had given birth to Lillith. Cassie spent a lot of time with Harry; they would do almost everything together. Cassie was trying to spend the last of her years with Harry. Cassie knew that Harry would be devastated once she was gone, but she knew that Harry would much rather remember the good times he spent with her.
Cassie, although she was worried, didn't tell Harry. She personally thought that Harry going to Hogwarts would be a bad idea, especially with people like Albus Dumbledore. Luckily for Cassie, though, Lucius, Abraxas, Polaris, Pollux and House Gaunt and House Potter all have seats on the Hogwarts board of governors. And while Harry was at school, he agreed to let Cassie control his political standing. Harry was sure that Dumbles had someone voting on his behalf as a proxy, but that would all be sorted out soon enough.

Meanwhile, Hogwarts Antechamber; July twenty-seven; nineteen-ninety nine;
Albus Dumbledore was sitting in the heads chair, awaiting his guests. There were portraits all over the wall of previous headmaster\mistress', among those portraits, was the portrait of Phineas Nigellus and Armando Dippet. They were eager to get the news back to Harry.
People started to come in, first was a family of identical redheads, Weasley's. Then there was a tall black wizard, Kingsley Shackelbolt, followed by Dedulas Diggle, who was shorter than average with tan skin, followed by the ragged werewolf and the mudblood and her parents, followed by a man with more scars than limbs, with an artificial leg and a fake eye, Alastor Mad-Eye Moody, then there was McGonagall who had a very stern look on her face, and finally there was Snape. He had greasy black hair, with a hook like nose and black eyes. He also had a permanent sneer on his face and finally there was Nymphadora Tonks-Black, the blood-traitor. She had pink hair and looked rather childish.

"Welcome, Welcome everybody. I am sure you all know why you are here. The Potter boy is due to start his first year come September. Now I intend on sending Hagrid to fetch him, as we all know, Hagrid blindly follows me, so he will put in a good word for me and bad mouth Slytherin's. So Molly, I will tell Hagrid that he already knows where the entrance to the platform is, while you and your family will wait for him, as soon as you see him, make your way to the platform barrier and help him. He is bound to feel indebt to you. Then Ronald will wait for a few minutes before entering his compartment and becoming 'friends' with him. If all goes according to plan, you will all get triple paid. Remus, thank you for agreeing to becoming the new History teacher, I need you to tell Harry everything you know about his parents and get close to him. Once that happens, then we'll be able to get you more than just new robes. Hermione, you need to act as if you are new to this world and you need to act abused. Nymphadora, is Polaris still head of house? If so than its good, because than we'll be able to keep Sirius in Azkaban for longer. Severus m'boy. I need you to roughen him up. He looks like James so it won't be too hard to hate him. Minerva, I need you to make sure that you tell him that both of his parents were Gryffindor and that they would be proud if he were to be there as well. Okay, everybody except Remus dismissed." Dumbledore said to his arse-lickers.

Remus stayed behind, and waited for Dumbles to speak; "M'boy, we need him to open up to you, so that you can gain his trust as well as put your foot in the door. If we can get a hold of the Potter vote on ICW as well as the Wizengamot. If we have those votes, than we will be able to put our people where we want them. I still owe you twenty million Galleons, while I will give to you at Gringotts on the thirty-first after the will reading of the Potters and Black's. They will no doubt place Harry as Heir, so I need you to say you are going on behalf of Harry, and from there we can take all of the artefacts as well as all of the money and leave it. The boy won't even know. We already know that Nymphadora and Andromeda will not hesitate to give us the keys to their Black Vaults, but there isn't enough money in them. So m'boy, it all counts on you getting this right."

"Sure Headmaster. Thank you for letting me in on this. It was quite difficult to get in with James and Sirius in the first place, but you getting Peter to help as well, did good things for us. Albus, just one question, what if Harry does find out about the money, and then what?"

"I am his magical guardian. He cannot say a word against me, and if he does, then I'll tell the world that he has gone dark. It would be rather easy to do so. All I would be doing s just letting slip that I saw him practise Dark Arts and he's life will be over. As easy as that." Dumbledore casually said.

Once Phineas and Dippett were done telling Harry their gossip, Harry had written a formal letter to Gringotts, asking that all wills that he is included in be read on July the thirty-first.
Lord Ragnok,
I am writing this letter to ask you a favour. I need to have every will that has my name on it, to be read to me on July thirty-first. I will explain more in detail.
May your gold be everlasting and you sword be forever sharp,
Lord Hadrian James Potter
Head of the Ancient and Noble House of Potter
Head of the Royal and Supreme House of Black
Head of the Royal and Supreme House of Gringotts
Once Harry was done with the letter, he sent it along with Sylvester, told him to wait for a reply. It wasn't even a full ten minutes, when Harry got a reply.

Harry woke up the next morning to a tapping on his window. He opened the window and the owl flew in and dropped the letter and flew out. Harry picked up the letter, and turned the letter around to see the seal, and found the Hogwarts seal, and immediately knew what it meant.
