Welcome back guys!
"Ah, that is maple, for people who are tough and stubborn; it is a powerful but temperamental wand wood."
"Now onto the wand cores"
"Put your hand over these jars like you did last time and tell me if you feel a …. connection of sorts" the man said enigmatically
Harry did as he said moving his hand over the various jars feeling rather silly until his hand wandered over a particularly thick and dusty jar. He felt a tingling of power and pure energy at his fingertips.
"This one!" Harry gasped
The man was shocked and his mouth open wide.
"What? It can't be" He thought out loud
"For pity's sake man what's in the jar?" Grindelwald asked impatiently
"The blood of a nundusilisk" He whispered
"What the bloody hell's that then?" Grindelwald asked
"The most powerful creature to ever walk the planet...When a Basilisk mated with a Nundu a truly god-powerful monster was made. It was rumoured to have the combined powers of its parents and more. This one died in a fight with Merlin but not without maiming him seriously; from then on Merlin had lost control of his left side of his body and most of his powers. One of my ancestors found this blood floating in the air, its very power repelling the air, and it took a good five years to craft a jar warded with enough protective spells to contain the blood. That blood will do amazing things, things never thought possible. One thing that confuses me is how a basic piece of wood will be able to contain the nundusilisk blood...Mr Potter do you feel an affinity to any other object in the room?"
"Well there's something which attracts me to the cupboard over there" Harry gestured to the corner
The shopkeeper went to the cupboard and took out all the jars and spread them evenly about the worksurface. Now show me.
Harry pointed to one which looked rather old indeed and most curiously pulsated a harsh blue colour.
"Of course!" the man gasped.
"In this jar are the final shards of the Royal Ice phoenix which will neutralize the acidity of the nundisilisk blood but add to their overall power! The wand that I shall make for you Mr. Potter will be by far the most powerful wand ever made" The man finished his little speech with some reverence and much awe.
Then addressing Grindelvald
"I will send the wand to you this evening, now that's 20,000 galleons" said the wandmaker.
"Thank you" said Harry and Grindelvald at the same time. Then Grindelvald handed over what looked like a credit card except it was gold coloured and it had Gringotts emblazoned on the side.
The wandmaker waved his wand over the card under muttered some incomprehensible words and lo and behold around 50 pouches of gold appeared. The wandmaker then smiled, and retreated into a back room.
Sometime later Harry and Grindelvald and Harry's epic wand (which was safe in Grindelvald's pocket) arrived at an exceptionally beautiful building, on a gold plaque above the thick oak door read Gringotts. Harry was very curious.
"What's this building?" Harry inquired
"This is Gringotts the magical bank, Harry, one of the oldest wizarding buildings in the world in fact even older than Hogwarts. A little known fact is that there is a portal room linked to all the most important magical places in the world and can transport you there as quick as you can say frigiderio! But it's only for the rich like you and me. Each trip cost 200
galleons"
"But sir isn't £200 not that much?"
"Yes Harry but I said galleons and galleons are worth exactly 8.59 times a pound!"
Harry did some astoundingly quick maths.
"So the wand cost £1718? But I don't have that much money! How will I every pay you back?"
"That's why we're here Harry
Harry looked with newfound respect at the building and gasped before following his only friend inside
After they went inside Grindelvald started to talk to a goblin rather amicably. The goblin nodded quite a lot and creased into a disbelieving smile.
"I see Reinhard my friend if what you suspect is true then that changes everything!"
"Yes, it does but for better or for worse?"
Harry couldnt understand what was going on so just stood saying nothing.
Grindelvald and Reinhard the goblin continued their conversation for a good five until the wizened warlock said to Harry
"Come over here and put you hand flat on this parchment"
Harry did as he said remaining in his befuddled state. To his, Grindelvald and Reinhard's amazment the words

All the young ten year old Potter could say was
"Holy Shit"
"Holy shit indeed Harry" Grindelvald commented
"First let us emancipate you so you can actually use that money "
The goblin pulled out a paper and a quill and said to Harry
"Sign here, although,it will hurt a little by the way"
Harry did as he said and felt a little thrill of power and ever so slight pain course through him as he did so.
"Excellent Lord Emrys-Gryffindor-Potter here are you rings of Lordship" Reinhard slid three weightless rings onto Harry's fingers. One was a silver and diamond one with the letter E engraved on it. The second one was gold and ruby with a G enscribed on it. The final one was platinum and sapphire with P similarly emblazoned on the gemstone.
"What do all of these rings mean Gellert and what are houses and stuff and what can I now do?" Harry asked pleadingly
Gellert Grindelvald sighed and went into a long and tedious explanation of the wizarding world for ten good minutes until Harry knew the basics and more.
**********************************************
One Year Later
Platform nine and three quarters was hustling and bustling with magical humans of all ages and characters. Harry surveyed the life with a smile on his face.
"Hogwarts should be fun" he thought with a smirk. Harry had had enough of watching random people so boarded the red train with all his belongings shrunk and inside his pockets.
It didn't take him long to find an empty compartment practically no one was on the train yet, as he had no company Harry sat on the seats and started to ponder what house would be most beneficial to be in. Gryffindor would be good because everyone would still treat him as the boy-who-lived, Ravenclaw perhaps, he could gain some valuable minions, Slytherin very tempting although the hardest to play, Hufflepuff? Harry chuckled no one would want to be a puff. Ravenclaw it was then, he proceeded to arrange his mind so that the Sorting Hat would see his traits as one of Ravenclaw, he hid his unnacountably large magical power and cunning behind impentrable layers in his mind using Occlumency higher than anyone probably ever had.
As he was doing this a ginger headed boy with inumerable freckles knocked on the door and then walked in and said in a casual tone
"Alright if I sit here mate? You see all the oth-BLOODY HELL-I mean err your Harry Potter! Wait are you, I mean I'm not that sure, umm sorry can I have your autograph you see my sister, the youngest in the family, she err well-"
"Yes, yes I am the Harry Potter Ronald, now will you try to cease your incessant gibberings and speak more coherently, it's terribly unbecoming to speak like a chatterbox on cocaine."
Ron was speechless he didn't expect to hear such sophisticated speech yet alone from someone his own age! He sat down in shock, oppposite the suprising boy. When suddenly another child walked in, except this time a girl, with unsightly teeth and wild frizzy hair,
"Hello OH MY, your Harry Potter and I'm Hermoine Granger," She completely ignored Ronald which was not an uncommon occurence.
" I've read all about you in-"
"What you've read Miss Granger is irevoquably utterly and completely bullshit" Harry drew out the for effect ,smirking at the innocent girl's face he continued
" Not all books tell the truth did no one every bother to tell you that small fact? And most importantly at least this likeable chap here had the manners to actually knock on the door unlike you who just barged in here with the pretentiousness that only comes with a know-it-all who has no friends whatsoever, so please be so kind as to remove yourself from Ronald and mine's compartment right now." Harry said this in such a cold tone that Ronald was really quite disconcerted.
The poor Hermoine looked flustered and on the verge of tears and retorted angrily.
"I have just as much right to be here as you do actually! And you-"
Harry sighed and made a tiny hand movement and much to Ron's amusement no sound came out of Hermoine's mouth. With another hand movement the doors slid open and Hermoine flew out and landed uncomfortably but unhurt. She looked at Harry with fear and ran away. Ron couldn't stop laughing, seeing Ron laugh so much Harry cracked a smile and before long they were both laughing and joking like old friends.
When they reached Hogwarts Ron became increasingly nervous and said to Harry;
"What if I get put into Slytherin, Harry? What then? My family would disown me but I don't want to be in Gryffindor because then I'll just be another red-headed Weasely in Gryffindor! I want to be in Ravenclaw so that I stand out. I want to be noticed and my own person more than anything! Bu-but I'm not clever enough? Aargh!"
"Calm down Ron if you're that worried about it I can perform a simple spell that will get you in Ravenclaw for sure"
"You can? I don't see how? Well it's worth a try?"
Harry had in fact lied, the spell he was about to attempt was extremely dangerous and had never been attempted before. He was going to erect walls in Ron's mind and create a second conciousness inside those walls. This conciousness would behave exactly like a 'Ravenclaw Ron' and would be what the Sorting Hat would see. Harry had to create the walls strong enough so that the new conciousness could not effect Ron's physical or mental bodies. With only a slight hesitation Harry pulled out his wand which eminated waves of pure magical power ready to be used and pointed it at Ron's head and whispered these words of magic:
"novis consientium no fortisse primum sed tantum similaxium Ravenclaw!"
Harry felt a vast amount of power flow through his wand and into Ron's head but felt only the tiniest amount of lethargy from this unbelieveably magically taxing task. Harry was mildly surprised the power alone to perform this new spell would have taken twenty fairly powerful wizards to do and he did it with ease! Harry knew he was unbelievably powerful but he had never tested his limits. He would have to experiment and find out just how powerful he was.
"Did it work Harry?"
Harry snapped out of his musings he had completely forgotten about his new friend!
"Yes Ron it did" Harry said relieved
A few moments later Miss McGonagall shepherded the first years into the Great Hall and told them to put on the Sorting Hat when she called out their names.
"Abbot, Hannah" The girl walked nervously and put on the hat after a few seconds that hat shouted out.
"Hufflepuff!"
This continued for a good five minutes until Harry's name was called, whispers broke out almost immediately, Harry walked over confidently to the Hat, he sat down and put it on his head.
" Well what do we have here then, the Boy-Who-Lived eh? Well that's strange you seem like the perfect Ravenclaw who would have thought with your parents? Well it seems there's almost no loyalty,bravery or ambition so it has to be ...
RAVENCLAW!"
Quite a few people look suprised they had expected him to go to Gryffindor but they still appluaded politely as he made his way over to the house table.
Not long after Ron was called up and almost as soon as the Hat was placed on his head it shouted
"RAVENCLAW"
This time there were a lot more gasps, and the infamous Weasely twins fainted with shock but Percy Weasely looked strangely proud.
Ron looked estatic and strode over to Harry with a wide grin and gave him a bear hug.
"Thanks a lot mate, seriously thanks" He said with deep meaning.
Harry nodded he understood the Weasley's fears. When the sorting had finished Dumbledore stepped up to the podium with a grandfatherly smile upon his face and spoke;
"Good evening, I hope the summer has treated you all well and you and that every one of you is ready to start a new year here and become better in every way you can, before we tuck in I would like you all to join me in congratulating the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Valdengrinde he may be older than me but as I often say don't judge a book by its cover but by its words!"
Everyone applauded the new teacher as he stood up and smiled genially
Harry groaned at the terrible anagram. Gellert hadn't told him this was his cover name, he would have to laugh about it with him later.
"Righty-ho then, eat!" As Dumbledore said this food of all types appeared on the table steaming hot and looking absolutely delicious.
Harry dug in with relish and piled on almost as much as Ron did onto his plate and before long it was bedtime, Harry climbed into bed and cleared his mind with ease and checked all his mental defences before going into the land of Morpheus.
The next day Harry and Ron were give their timetables by Mrs McGonagall Harry was happy to see that he had double Defence against the Dark arts first lesson he couldn't wait to see what Gellert oops , Harry chuckled, Mr Valdengrinde had in store for them. Obviously it would be way beneath him but still, he wanted to know how he would cope with a class.
As Ravenclaw and Slytherin entered the classroom Mr Valdengrinde was no where to be seen. After five minutes of quiet chat he was still not there when suddenly a purple spell flew out from the back of the classroom from a wand in mid-air and hit a blonde-headed Slytherin boy who had been talking about how he was going to be the best in the class. As soon as the spell impacted with his head, he slumped onto the desk and began to snore loudly and then he vanished. Not many people had noticed but those who had looked around curiously, slightly fearful. A few seconds later another purple spell hit someone, the spell had been cast from the same floating wand but at front of the class and hit a small petite Ravenclaw who promptly fell asleep and time everyone had noticed and people were beginning to get frightened. Harry got up and made for the door with a theatrical look of fear on his face. He tried the doorknob and said in a loud and dramatic voice
"IT'S LOCKED, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!"
At this point chaos ensued, people ran around like headless chickens and were hiding underneath desks whilst Harry and Ron were trying to trip people up. After three minutes of this Mr Valdengrinde appeared a long with the pupils who had be vanished and waited for everyone to calm back down and said sternly
"You all failed the test...What should you have done to evade me?"
Nobody put up their hand they were all very confused.
"Mr Potter do you have any idea?"
Harry looked overly pensive and said
"We should have jumped out of the window during the confusion we're only on the ground floor."
"How do you know that the attacker was not guarding the open window?"
"There was rain blowing straight in, and it didn't seem to be blocked by the invisible person who was most likely only invisible and not permeable."
Valdengrinde smiled and said
"How do we know he wasn't permeable"
Hermoine said
"The spell of permeability is extremely hard to perform and very few people could do this and if he was so talented he could have dispatched of us in a more efficient way"
"Incorrect Miss..?"
"Granger, sir, Hermoine Granger"
"Please desist from saying incorrect answers without first putting up your hands, Mr Potter, the correct answer please?"
"Well sir," Harry said in a prude tone "If he cast an permeability charm on himself then he wouldn't have been able to hold the wand..."
"Exactly Mr Potter, ten points to Ravenclaw and one point from Miss Granger's hous/e for shouting out"
Hermoine cringed whilst Harry and Ron smiled evily at her misfortune.
"Right now lets get you all onto practicing the most basic and simple magical shield there is the Defenere Shield, you simply swipe your wand in a downward motion and say
"Defenere!"
A small yellow shield appeared in front of Mr Valdengrinde. He then reversed his wand movement and the shield dissappeared.
"The shield should protect against minor spells and fairly heavy physical objects. I want you all to pair up and one of you will be practicing the shield and the other will be throwing a wooden ball at them, swap round every ten goes. You can collect the wooden balls at the front,"
He gestured to a large basket full of wooden balls the size of a hand.
"I will pick a pair at random to demonstrate at the end so practice hard to avoid embarassment, any questions? No? All right then, begin!"
Harry paired up with Ron and they decided that Ron should go first.
"You ready Ron?" Harry asked
"Yeh bring it on mate" replied Ron confidently
Harry threw the ball at Ron with a large amount of force, Ron's eyes narrowed as he focussed and roared
"DEFENERE!"
A golden yellow shield rippling with power appeared, a lot more powerful than Valdengrinde's. When the wooden ball hit it it burst into flames and disintergrated immediately. Both Ron and Harry looked at one another amazed.
"Ron can I check your power level a second?"
This was a spell which showed how much magical power someone was using and their potential magical power. People usually reached their potential in their late teens early twenties although it could be earlier.
(((FORGET ABOUT ENCHANTERS AND WARLOCKS AND HOW MANY THERE ARE IVE CHANGED IT!)))
(((FORGET ABOUT ENCHANTERS AND WARLOCKS AND HOW MANY AND ALL OF THATTHERE ARE IVE CHANGED IT!)))
(((FORGET ABOUT ENCHANTERS AND WARLOCKS AND HOW MANY THERE AND THAT KIND OF STUFF IN THE OTHER CHAPTER ARE IVE CHANGED IT!)))
The Average magical power was around 500 Animusas with the spell and the the potential was usually around 800 Animusas. Gellert was a powerful 2500 Animusas, Dumbledore was rumored to be 4000 and the Dark Lord was originally 3500 apparently but expanded it 4100 with Dark Rituals. Harry had the potential score of 30000 but right now was 10000. Merlin was supposedly 15000 and the founders 10000 each.
When Harry told Ron all of this he nodded, he wasn't really surprised at all, he could tell that Harry was extremely powerful. But as Gellert kept reminding Harry, power is not everything, skill was a lot more important. Harry whispered the words
"Cuantus Animusas"
And the numbers 4000 came up in blue (power in use) and 8000 (potential power) in gold.
"Holy Shit" Ron and Harry swore in synchronisation. Ron was probably the second most powerful wizard alive! Harry realised he'd have to tell Gellert about this.
"Well Ronald" Gellert said "I shall have to give you extra training like I give Harry, you will be very useful in the army"
"Army? What army?"
"Why the army to fight Voldemort and then become an independent nation"
"Wait what?"
"Nevermind Harry'll tell you about that later when your mental defences are up to scratch"
"Oh ok"
"Now Ron I want you to come to my classroom everyday at 17 00 without fail ok? And the same goes for you Harry."
"Yes Gellert" said Harry and Ron at the same time. (Harry explained to Ron about who Mr Valdengrinde really was)
"Right then you can both head over to Transfiguration with Mrs McGonagall, tell her that I kept you behind or she'll punish you for tardiness"
Ron and Harry jogged to Transfiguration in fear of Mrs McGonagall's wrath. When they finally got there she looked at them and said in her famous scottish accent.
"Just what time do you call this?"
"We're sorry Professor but Professor Valdengrinde wanted to speak to us at the end of his lesson"
"Very well, sit down here please you two" she gestured to a pair of empty desks and chairs at the front.
"As I was saying Transfiguration is an extremely difficult and dangerous subject and anyone caught messing around will be punished, severely. To start with I want you to try and transfigure a match to a needle. For such a simple spell there is no need for an incantation just point your wand at the match and visualize it becoming a needle."
She waved her wand and a match appeared on every desk.
"Start then please!"
Harry rolled his eyes, this was so easy. He pointed at the match and transformed with apparent ease into a solid gold needle around the size of a wand.
"Mr Potter that's outstandingly good! 50 points to Ravenclaw! But 10 points off for showing off" She added with consideration.
"I'll add you to my 7th year class Mr Potter, lets hope you can learn something then, in the meantime try to transfigure this desk into a pig. The incantation is Hogskarkus Animatus "
Harry smirked evilly and waved his wand and without saying anythingnd the desk became a hog with massive disgusting warts.
She was speechless, never before had she seen such a feat been achieved by someone so young!
"Umm...Mr Potter I would like to take you to the Headmaster please follow me"
"Very well" He said with an air of superiority and followed her out of the classroom. Before he left, he said to Ron, I'll see you in the common room,"
After a short walk up many similar looking staircases Harry and the not very youthful Transfiguration teacher reached the office of the one and only Albus Percival Brian Wulfric Dumbledore.
"Come in" Said Dumbledore before McGonagall had a chance to knock on the door.
Harry rolled his eyes. Dumbles obviously had a detection ward tied to the door. If it was supposed make the person believe that Dummy was all knowing it was pretty lame. McGonagall opened the door and Brian said
"Ah Mr Potter I was wondering when we would meet"
AN: Sorry for the delay, Nah I'm not really anyway..I can convert it to ebook format if anyone wants to have it on their e-reading device?
The first person who answers these questions the best in the review will get to be a schoolboy/girl in the book:
1) Do you think Harry should have some difficulty in defeating Voldemort?
2) Should he be Dark or Light or somewhere in between.
3) What do you think Harry's aims should be?
4) Do you want any lemons or some or quite a lot?
5)Please could you give a brief description of your character, include looks, personality and who you friends with and what your character thinks of Harry (More likely to get chosen if you have a good description)
6) What do you think of the story?
7) In the real Potter Universe what spell does Hermoine use to harden a wall.
"From me to you
