July 31st 1991
Potter mansion
The few days passed by like a breeze, although Harry was not inclined to forgive them, he did accept that they tried their best to include him.
"Hehe masters getting soft."
"I'm not so soft to let that comment pass."
Harry grabbed Uma and yeeted her to the top of the shelf.
"Have fun getting down from there."
"Masters a bully."
Harry smiled smugly and left the room, the potters had brought him to ollivanders and he got his wand.
"Though that was one creepy old man."
"Master Hadrian!"
Tabby the elf ran up to him.
"Master James and mistress lily are holding a birthday party, if it is not in your interest to stay please stay for a few minutes before retiring to the library."
Harry sighed.
"Oh alright lead the way."
Tabby looked extremely happy and brought him downstairs.
"In the morning is just a private party, master James said you do not have to stay in the afternoon and can stay in the library if you wish."
"At least they aren't keeping me there"
Harry muttered. Tabby teleported away and Harry looked down from the stairs to the room.
"That is Sirius black, Remus lupin, Albus dumbledore, the weasleys...for a private party it seems really big."
Jonas spotted him and yelled.
"Hey brother down here."
Immediately the room quieted down and everyone stared at him.
"Damn you Jonas"
Harry cursed as he came down.
"Oh are you Hadrian dear? I'm morally weasley pleased to meet you."
"Wow you look nothing like Jonas mate do you like quidditch."
Harry was slightly overwhelmed and that was when Sirius stepped in.
"Molly give the kid some space, hi Harry I'm Sirius your godfather-"
Harry didn't know what came over him, but he barreled into Sirius and hugged him.
"Eh Hadrian why did you hid Sirius and not me???"
James looked a little heartbroken while everyone else laughed.
"Hah it's not my fault Harry prefers his godfather over his father."
Sirius smugly commented.
"I prefer Siri cuz Siri looks better than mr potter!"
James choked while Ronald Jonas Fred and George burst out in hysterical laughter.
Remus came over and squatted down.
"I'm Remus Remus lupin can I have a hug as well?"
Harry stared at him, he smelt weird, like a wild animal, like a wolf...
"Is mr lupin a werewolf?"
The whole room silenced and stared at Harry shocked.
"What the how can you tell Brother?"
"He smells weird."
Remus just sat there and Harry once again decided to regret his decision and hug him.
"Ohhh wait smell Sirius what does he smell like???"
"A dog."
"How about James???"
"An animal?"
"OMG Albus Hadrian can smell animagus and werewolves!"
"That's amazing brother."
Jonas couldn't help but be genuinely happy, his brother had a special talent, it could help defeat Voldemort! Harry himself was surprised, so that's why diagon alley had so many weird smells.
The party was quite fun, though Harry excluded himself from Ron and Jonas. He did enjoy quidditch but he didn't like the competitive spirit. He got along pretty well with Fred and George and surprisingly Percy. Percy seemed to be one of those who were ambitious but wouldn't break the rules and Percy told him a secret. The sorting hat had originally wanted to put him in slytherin but he chose to go to Gryffindor.
The private party ended rather quickly and Harry excused himself and headed to the library. Albus dumbledore had tried to speak to him but Harry ran behind Sirius or Remus and refused to talk to him. He was so deep in thought he accidentally ran into someone.
"I'm sorry sir."
"It's fine, do you mind telling me where is the party room."
Harry looked up to see a black haired man with a long crooked nose. He looked like someone Harry had seen before.
"Are you Severus snape?!?!"
Harry asked excitedly.
"As a matter of fact I am but-"
"Omg omg you're my idol you're a potion legend can you sign an autograph???"
Severus looked surprised, there weren't many now that appreciated potions but this boy in front oh him seemed very enthusiastic.
Harry quickly caught himself and regained his composure.
"I apologise sir for my rude behaviour. I'm Hadrian potter, and I'll be honoured to learn the art of potions from you in the upcoming year at Hogwarts."
"He speaks like a slytherin, a potter? Seems like he got Lily's genes and not that mans"
"You are excused, I am delighted to see such a promising potion student going to Hogwarts. Pleased to meet you Hadrian potter."
"If it is not too much trouble may I ask you to see a potion that I created?"
Severus was intrigued.
"Of course lead the way mr potter."
Harry lend him to the laboratory and brought out a vial.
"I have been attempting to make a potion that removes the drinker from everyone's senses. They would not be able to be smelled, touched heard or seen by any living thing."
Severus' curiosity was peaked, it was an amazing idea in itself but if this boy could pull it off he would be an excellent potion master. He watched as the boy, Hadrian, pulled out what seemed like an amulet.
"Only when one wears this amulet can they see the drinker. May I ask you to help me experiment?"
Severus quickly agreed and put on the amulet and followed Hadrian to the party room.
"Well bottoms up."
He watched fascinated as Hadrian drank the potion and went downstairs. It worked perfectly, he could pass through people, call them names and no one was none the wiser. Severus smiled slightly, at least there was one respected person besides lily in the whole damn place.
Apparently the potion wore off after an hour and Hadrian quickly came back up.
"Thank you so much mr snape, for helping me in this experiment."
Severus gave him back the amulet.
"It's my pleasure mr potter alas I must return to the party, would you take the trouble to owl me the next time you are interested in showcasing this potion or creating a new potion?"
"It's of no trouble sir, it's an honor to be recognised by a high rank professor such as you."
"Many thanks mr potter I wish you luck in your studies."
Severus bade goodbye and went down to the party room much to his reluctance, but he couldn't leave Lily waiting, despite not wanting to meet potter senior and potter junior.
Harry smiled, he was happy to have met the potions master and that he would keep it a secret, if the potters knew and thus dumbledore, it would spell trouble for his future plans.
"At least the potion was a success."
Harry quickly hid all of his equipment and the potion recipe in his trunk which had shinsei guarding it. He knew that if he put wards up the potters would be suspicious so he put everything important in the trunk and had shinsei keep it from them, as nearly everyone including the elves were scared of the hybrid.
Harry headed back to the library before anyone could see him. He mentally exempted Sirius and Remus from his plans as he found out they were truly against it.
"Looks like Hogwarts might be some fun after all."
