Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Hidden Heir

Eleven years after the night Voldemort was defeated, Harry Potter had grown up in the dreary confines of Privet Drive. But even there, under the neglectful care of the Dursleys, his mind was far from ordinary. From a young age, Harry had been different. Where Dudley struggled with basic tasks, Harry excelled, his sharp intellect hidden behind an exterior of humility and quiet observation. He knew things before they happened, could solve problems far beyond his years, and had a natural ability to blend into his environment — a skill that came all too easily.

What Harry didn't know was that his brilliance and instincts weren't accidents. They were the inherited gifts of a legacy that had been passed down through generations. He was the last heir of the Potter line, one of the four founding families of the Assassin Brotherhood. And while he was still ignorant of his true power, forces were already in motion to bring him into the fold.

Though Harry was unaware of his family's immense wealth, his estate extended far beyond Gringotts' vaults. The Potter fortune, amassed through centuries of brilliant investments and control over vast Muggle and magical assets, was obnoxiously large. Yet, under the terms of his parents' will, Harry wouldn't gain full access to the fortune until he turned eighteen. The only clue to his vast inheritance came in fleeting dreams — visions of gold, grand estates, and vaults hidden deep within the magical world.

For now, though, Harry lived modestly, his brilliance hidden, his magic just beginning to awaken.
