Harry was looping again. As in time looping after accidentally busting an illegal neo time turner making ring he accidentally got sent back in a never-ending time loop. Dying didn't help he just went back in time again. And spending nine months in a cramped space and time after that as a drooling messy baby was not something Harry wanted to do too often even if he could spend time with his parents. But what was really grinding his gears was his fickle fame. Sometimes he wishes he could just take off his face as if it was a mask… that was the catalyst for the idea for what he was about to do. Also the fact that he had heard about a band that wore helmets. He knew they were established in 1993 but even if he was a couple years ahead he knew that one weird English kid would probably not be on the radar of the French muggle musicians. Yes, Harry had done his homework and had a plan on how to get out of the spotlight. So when he was old enough he started working on a gold helmet to resemble Daft Punk's gold helmet, he figured it would have the best visibility and it was gold go Gryffindor! Even if it was seemingly a muggle helmet Harry had secretly enchanted it with wandless spells, after all the excuse of accidental magic would be handy also the fact he knew he could get away with magic at special places he discovered over his many lifetimes. Like sitting on the front porch of Grimmauld place, a lucky loophole. Harry played it close to the original time for the most part after all he wanted to have a little fun but not make it so that everything went off the rails too soon. So uncle Vernon's mad trip was par for the course. Also, Harry Planned to use his own fame to go undercover. Hagrid showed up like planned and Harry relished in meeting his old friend again. He let everything play out as normal until they were about to leave the bank and Hagrid wanted to go get a pick me up at the leaky cauldron. " Hagrid, I'll meet you there after I go shopping so take your time, motion sickness is no fun. I also know a muggle trick so I won't get mobbed again, so please stay put so I can find you again okay?" Hagrid reluctantly agreed but Harry's insistence won the half-giant over. So when Hagrid left Harry stepped into a tiny hidey-hole in the ally and with a little bit of switching spell and un-shrinking spell harry now was wearing his creation and an outfit to match. Complete with a voice changing, lights and of course all of Daft Punks music in it, not to mention a few other tricks. After all, all of diagonally was abuzz with the fact that Harry Potter was out shopping so one odd muggle borne would go under the radar. Harry decided to get robes first just in case Hagrid went to look for him like in the original timeline. Harry stepped into Madam Malkin's to the surprise of the shop assistant. " em… How can I help you?" she said a bit unsure what to make of Harry. "If it would not be too much of a burden I need some male school robes for Hogwarts for first years, please." Harry said with his modulated 'robot' voice. As a smiley face appeared on his helmet. Now the shop assistant was back on familiar ground and did an intro, just like the first time Harry went shopping. Harry stepped on the podium and got a robe over his head before Draco could see his face. Before Draco could start his regular speel he got a look of Harry and got the shock of his life causing him to accidentally sting himself on the sowing pins. "You okay there Draco Malfoy?" Harry said putting a worried digital face on his helmet. The shock of Harry knowing his name caused him to forget to complain about the sting. "How do you know my name?" Draco said confusedly that whatever the thing next to him would know that. " Well, I'm a robot sent from the future to see how Hogwarts students from the year 1991 and how they became what they became in the future for a study. I do understand your confusion my model didn't start production before later in the timeline but the project was originally established in 1993." Harry said just to mess with Draco. Draco just stared at him in bafflement. "Hm… according to my databanks, you were way more talkative… according to my databanks, you're a future Slytherin. If your system overheated I can play you a tune while you wait for it to reboot and cool down. If it is okayed by the working staff here. I only have licensed music for my model but I do have music from all the established albums all the way to Alive 2007. " Draco's overall expression was priceless and Harry felt this was gonna be one of the more fun time loops. Apparently, the staff was curious to hear what the so-called future sound was like. " I will play a song from the album Discovery track nr.4; Harder, better, faster, stronger." He said as he tapped the side of his helmet as the song started to play and show light on the side of his helmet to indicate the music levels. Out came music and what the others thought of as of Harry's modulated singing voice. Even though Harry was not singing for real. To Harry's delight, the workers began working to the tempo of the music and were surprisingly enjoying the future music. Draco was still in 'reboot mood' as Harry would call it while others would say he was blown away but the share awesomeness of what his ears were hearing. A sheltered pureblood like him would never be able to even imagine how you'd make electronic music. "That's you done dear." The matron said. "Thank you for your good service," Harry said as he paid. He also turned to Draco. " Just call me Daft Punk since you were wondering. I'll be seeing more of you at random times at Hogwarts after all I have to report to the future sometimes." Draco just stood almost sputtering on how Harry knew what he was gonna ask. Harry was sure even if the workers just thought he was a muggle-born playing a joke, Draco would think he was a robot from the since Harry knew what Draco was gonna ask. Harry Had no other problems shopping but he went in as himself to Ollivander just in case. He knew that Ollivander had a couple of cards up his sleeves and he didn't want to spoil his fun just yet. Also, the random appearances of The-boy-who-lived kept the wizarding folks busy. Looking for him and overlooking his disguised self. Harry found Hagrid in the leaky cauldron later and Hagrid insisted to buy him a gift. Causing Harry to get his beloved Hedwig once again. And to Harry's surprise quickly found out that Hedwig was a looping Hedwig, that one loop where he went to go for a familiar bond spell worked out better than he thought, at the time. So when he got home to his new room Harry decided to share his plan with her and she consented to get a spell put on her that would show her like a mechanical owl when she was near him in his disguise. " So what do you think of being called Veridis quo as an alias. " Hedwig barked her agreement. "Okay, we are all set then," Harry said happily.
