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".
