Chapter 1
"You were adopted by the Potters, Mr.... Erm- Harry, I have tried and reached out of you a lot of times starting in your second year. As though it seems, none of our letters have gotten through. I wonder."
You are not a Potter.
You were never a Potter.
Oh Merlin.
It was the summer in number 4 Private Drive. Harry had received an owl that had an official Gringgots crest seal. Harry was for certain that he did not have any meeting that he was aware of, did he? Aunt Petunia had instructed Harry in weeding the Garden as a punishment. Dudley broke the Vase that his aunt for certain was planning on selling, might say destroying. It had been a wedding gift from a distant cousin and boy it was Gastly to look at, they should really be thankful anyway, alas they take every chance they get to punish Harry.

A meeting? Huh, Dumbledore had told Harry to not expect any letter from anyone, maybe it did not include Gringgots? But wait wait wait.. inheritance? We're those wherein you find out what people left you that is valuable, some say inheritance weren't all about items, money, or whatever, it hasn't been included in the textbook Hermione recited to him and Ron.
Was he even able to head out? It seemed urgent. Plus, he really wasn't sure if he wanted the Headmaster involved, he was already involved enough. Maybe he could sneak out? There is a chance that Gringgots might be open at night, it wouldn't hurt to check right? Harry sighed as he pocketed the letter and continued on his weeding before his Aunt noticed anything.
He was still a bit pissed, no one ought to tell him anything, it involved him and yet they kept him in the shadows, they kept reminding him that it was for his protection but what if it is? Ever since he entered Hogwarts walls he never was safe, or even before then. He was never safe, anywhere or from anyone for that matter. Everyone assume what they know what's best for him, treating him like a petulant child, stubborn yes, but stupid no. He never was a child to begin with, he had no childhood. None! It was taken from him. He never got a chance to act like a child or even a teenager, he never get to experience what it was like to act normal, as normal as he can be anyway.
He has been so pissed off lately, hot-tempered all of the sudden. It was so frustrating that he gets left out everytime. Dumbledore has been keeping things from him, big things. It involved him and yet none told him, none told him what he was up against or what help he could do. They expect him to run head on like a headless chicken and then after blame him, when all he did was try to do something while everyone ignored him, only needing him when needed, only informing him and hoped for him to figure shit out.
Well he was done being a push-over. He was done being used by people who didn't even deserve it. Sure, Ron and Hermione had been there for him through the highs and the lows, honestly they were the only people he even trusted in the first place. No adults could level that. No adults even helped him In the first place, they had their expectations on him, especially professor Snape. He had expected of Harry to act like his arrogant of a father but no, he had not given the professor any hint or even a move that he was like his father, stubborn sure, smart mouth yeah, but not naive. They expect him to be like James, to be like his father, his perfect mini image, he can't even be himself around anyone anymore.
If they expect and he has not stopped up to that standard they judge him for it. They didn't acknowledge the sacrifices his mum did. Sure his father tried to hold off He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named but honestly, he wouldn't be here if it weren't for his mothers protection. They never acknowledge the fact that, his parent also died that night. There mind was filled of him, him and him alone. Every year people hated him, then the next they love him, it was getting tiresome. Sure he might not be smart like Hermione, or brave as Ron, but sure as hell he was not Ganna back down from a challenge presented at him. He was no coward, he was Harry-Bloody-Potter for Merlin's sake!
His name will not go in vain over some people's bullshits. They can judge him all they want but he wall not back down, no. He will act Slytherin about this, and he knows the person who just knows how to.
