    Summary

    The summer before 3rd year, with all the time he now has since he got kicked out; Harry goes and visits Gringotts. He was in for a shock when he found out the true nature of those he trusted. As well as those he believed hated him.

    How was he supposed to handle this, he was left to strangers. Strangers who abused him. His father didn’t like him, his other compromised; whatever that meant. But his “parents” were really just kidnappers who forced an illegal blood adoption.

    Let alone he has been stolen from, robbed and contracts for his hand in marriage. These were from people who were his closest friends and family.

    It’s about time this Lion shows his true inner Snake.

    —————

    How deep does the lies, betrayals, and the true shadows behind the “Light” go.

    The long game of uncovering it all while trying to piece together himself and heal. How much did Dumbledore take from him and others.

    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".

    For years, his life has been a constant race. Always moving, always watching, always waiting for the next threat to appear behind him.

    Now Harry stands at the edge of something he has never allowed himself before: the possibility of letting go.
    But when your entire life has been built on vigilance and fear, is it even possible to rest?

    Summary

    “Scared Potter?” Malfoy sneered, and Harry snapped. He was done, finished, fed up with playing the innocent little Gryffindor with no common sense and a microscopic amount of intelligence. He rolled his eyes.

    “Why yes Malfoy, I’m terrified, can’t you see me quaking in my boots? You, a second year child armed with a stick is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Please, please don’t fatally injure me in front of three hundred witnesses and two teachers with your mean words and nasty smiles. Whatever shall I do?” The entire hall fell silent and Malfoy gaped. Harry smirked. Lockhart looked entirely bemused, and he thought Snape might be holding back a laugh.

    Harry spent his first year hiding his intelligence and playing the role of the Boy Who Lived. However Lockhart and Malfoys' combined presence finally causes him to snap, and chaos ensues from there.
