Summary
Harry found himself in the headmaster's office again. Dumbledore was staring towards the door so Harry turned around as well.
Tom Riddle strode through the door and stopped in front of Dumbledore's desk. His eyes were still red but where there was a snake-faced moster with slits for a nose before there stood a man in his mid-twenties now.
Riddle spoke: "Dumbledore, so nice of you to meet with me. I have a proposition for you."
Dumbledore considered the man carefully before asking: "What proposition could you have that made you sure enough I would agree to it?"
Riddle smirked. "I've come to offer peace."Updates can come inconsistently.

Summary
"You went yourself?"
"I did."
"You had no authority—"
"No."
"I had a promise."
"I expected James Potter's son."
"I found Lily Evans' child."
"He apologised because I asked him if he was hungry." Even Fawkes ceased singing.
"He apologised," Severus repeated, "for being hungry."
Dumbledore's shoulders seemed to sag. "Severus..."
"No." Years of bitterness sat behind that single word.
"I buried Lily because I failed her once." His black eyes never left Dumbledore's.
"I will not fail her son." Outside, thunder rolled across the Scottish Highlands. Neither man noticed.
Far below the castle...
Ancient magic stirred.
Deep beneath forgotten stone...
Something that had slept for nearly a thousand years recognised a name.
Potter. And, for the first time in a very long while...
The House waited.

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.
