Chapter 2

Diclaimer: If anyone was fooled by the disclaimer in the earlier chapter the let me make it perfectly clear I do not own Harry Potter in any way of form.

"Blah blah…" Talking.

'Blah blah….' Thoughts.

Hold on for an exciting ride…..

The first of the Weasley apparating in was George followed by Arthur and Charlie and soon after Bill and Fleur who had all gone to their respective works.

All of them apparated back to the Weasley ancestral home within few minutes of one another wand at ready fearing the worst only to come upon the scene of Ron lying on the floor with a broken nose and both Mrs. Weasley and Ginny fussing over him and Hermoine in a corner with hand over her mouth with tears flowing down her eyes. George was the first to come out of the shock and quickly asked.

"What happened here?"

"It's all Harry's fault, he broke my nose for no reason and apparated through the wards thereby shattering them." Ron said, his words came out all blotched due to his broken nose but they were still understandable.

"I don't know what's wrong with that boy, going and punching others on their faces he should be punished." Mrs. Weasley huffed putting in her two cents. The other three male Weasley's looked at the two incredulous not believing anything the two were telling because they knew Harry and he wouldn't have done anything with any reason and that meant that the two of them were lying.

"He obviously turing dark, I mean..." Ron started but was quickly interjected when George addressed Hermoine.

"What happened here Hermione? As even I can tell that Ron is obviously lying." George asked trying to get a clear picture of the incident that led to this.

"He.. he.. hic, Ro.. Ron want into one of his jealous rages again when we came back from our shopping trip and they started fighting with Ro...Ron accusing Ha...Harry of being glory hounding and attention seeking prat and Harry denying it but Ron ..." With that Hermoine started crying again.

Arthur quickly pulled her into a hug and calmed her down with soothing words.

"It's okay you don't have to continue if you don't want to."

"No Mr. Weasley, I can continue, he called Harry's mother mudblood whore which made Harry furious and he punched Ron, when Mrs. Weasley asked him to apologise for it, it made him even angrier and he swore to never set foot in Weasley ancestral home ever again." Hermione finished after having calmed down somewhat.

"Even then he didn't have any right to punch Ron." Molly interjected.

"No he shouldn't have punched him..." George started at which both Ron and Mrs. Weasley looked smug but that was soon wiped out as George continued.

"He should have cursed him so much that he would have felt it for the rest of his miserable life that is what I would have done."

"I always knew that this day would have come with Ron's attitude but I never expected it from you too mom." With that George left the living room followed by Charlie, Bill, Fleur, Hermoine and Mr. Weasley looking obviously disappointed.

"Humph, they will come to, come Ginny let's get Ron to St. Mungo's to check out his injury and why it's not healing when I used the healing spell." With she and Ron still holding his injured nose along with a hesitant Ginny flooed to St. Mungo's.

Back with Harry, he had just apparated outside the Black ancestral home and was practically smouldering, his magic could have be felt heavily by any that would have been near but as such there was no one near him. Even then Harry was forcefully trying to suppress his emotions and there by his magic that was trying to explode out of him and cause unnecessary damage to the surroundings. Taking a deep breath trying to calm himself as he hurried to the door, opening it he stepped inside but in his hurry he bumped in the umbrella stand and in the process woke up Mrs. Black in the portrait that immediately started shouting.

"Filthy half-breeds, blood traitors, children of filth! Blood-traitors, scum, Mudbloods..."

As soon as he heard that word Harry remembered Ron's insult and his emotions surged along with his magic, his magic reacted violently with devastating consequences. His magic practically started burning Mrs. Black who started screaming and begging for mercy as she realized that her existence was coming to an end. His magic raged for few more moments before he was able to bring it under control and he was completely panting from his efforts of controlling his magic, looking at the devastation he caused and destruction of Mrs. Black portrait he immediately regretted it, he hated her but he never wanted to harm her but his uncontrollable magic had destroyed her completely, virtually wiping out her existence leaving no trace of them except for the blackened wall, ceiling and floor and that frightened him, he thought that the incident at the end of the fifth year was the last time his magic had reacted in such a violent manner and when he had asked Dumbledore at the start of the sixth year he had assured him that the incident would be last of it as he had undergone magical maturity on his birthday in the summer after his fifth year, according to him after his magical maturity such incidents of accidental magic would not occur but after this he wasn't so sure and so that this did not repeat itself he would need some help from someone or from books that explained about magic. Suddenly it occurred to him.

'Doesn't Grimmauld Place have a huge library stacked with all kinds of ancient and modern books, I remember Sirius mentioning it while saying that he was going to get rid of all the dark books in their maybe I could find something there but first I have to find it.'

As soon as that thought occurred to him the knowledge of location of the library was suddenly downloaded in his mind, that took him by surprise at first he was frightened that someone invaded his mind but soon he remembered something Hermoine said about the ancient family and their ancestral homes that the house would recognise the heir as their master and bond with them and provide them with all and any the knowledge of the house the heir required, he got the location of the library when he needed it, that would mean that the house had recognised him as the heir and bonded with him.

'But why now I have already visited the house earlier while hunting Horcruxes wanting to find the slytherin's locket and there was no response then does that meant that I hadn't bonded to the house at that time, I will check it out later along with the library but at the moment I got to get something to eat.'

Hearing his stomach rumbling he quickly made his way into to the kitchen to find something to eat as soon as he entered the kitchen it immediately occurred to him that there was no food in the house as the house had been abandoned for a long time and groaned he had very little in the way of money so he couldn't even go out and eat and he didn't want to go to Gringotts to withdraw money.

'If dobby was here then I would have easily got any food I wanted to eat at this moment.' Harry thought sighing wistfully.

Having no choice Harry conjured something to eat which would have to be sufficient for now and started on his meal vowing to get something substantial to eat next day by getting some money from the bank. Finishing up his late lunch Harry went up to the bedroom he had occupied during his stay in summer before the fifth year to get some rest as he was feeling emotionally drained after the confrontation with the Weasley's.

Harry started removing his cloths and his dragon hide armour he wore, while divesting his cloths he came upon a bump in his inner pocket of his dragon hide coat investigating he found a wallet, suddenly Harry slammed his hand on his head cursing himself for his forgetfulness which could have gotten him nice hot meal to eat, the wallet was a Gringotts issued one from which he could withdraw both galleons and muggle money just by thinking of the amount he needed and reason he forgot is that he had gotten it at the end of the sixth year and hadn't used it once since then and he was always too busy searching Horcruxes.

Keeping his wallet on the bedside table to make him remember when he woke up after his rest that he needed to get some groceries for his stay here, he slipped under the blankets to take a late afternoon nap.

Late in the evening was the time when Harry started to wake up, he quickly got up and freshened himself and changed into same set of clothing he had on earlier after some cleaning charms as he didn't have any other sets of clothing with him. Grabbing his wallet Harry let himself out of the house to buy some groceries to stock the kitchen pantry and something for him to cook that evening. Come out of his house he came across his biggest dilemma, he didn't know where to buy groceries in both muggle and wizarding world looking around the road his eyes came across a taxi and came up with a solution.

'I will just ask the taxi to drop me to the nearest groceries store.'

Quickly Harry hailed the taxi as he still remembered how to use a taxi from his younger years that he had stayed with the Drusley's. Getting in to the taxi he told the driver to take him to the nearest grocery store. The driver looked at him strangely for few seconds but then shrugged his shoulders started driving after five minutes he stopped and informed Harry that they had reached their destination carefully keeping his surprise hidden due to quickness of the travel paid the man appropriate amount and got out of the taxi.

The sight that greeted Harry surprised him, he was in absolute bafflement with the size of the shop and according to the driver this was a grocery shop, but Harry doubted that only grocery where in sale here 'ASDA' Harry guessed was the name which was displayed in bright light, shrugging his shoulders Harry entered.

'Well I will find out soon enough.'

Inside there were rows upon rows of different products displayed and he saw people pushing along a trolley and grabbing various products from the rows and putting them in their respective trolleys. Harry was brought out of his observation by an employee that was talking to him.

"Welcome to ASDA sir, this the latest branch of the long chain of supermarkets established under the name ASDA. Have a pleasant shopping trip, sir." The women greeted him.

Nodding his head Harry made his way to the trolley stand where he saw people getting the trolleys and took one and went on his way to shop. It would be during this trip that Harry would come to know why shopping was said to be the bane of man's existence. An hour later Harry had brought all that he would need both for his kitchen and other household products that he needed and in amounts that would last for nearly a month. His shopping spree had garnered a lot of attention from the other disgruntled shoppers and very happy employees that were thinking of the commission they would be receiving if he was really buying and not just pulling a prank of which they were still sceptical. He already had filled about 13 trolleys and a half 14th one when he finished his shopping of basic necessities. He then made his way to the checkout counter.

"Can I have all this packed up and ready for transport." He asked the cashier.

The cashier Cindy as her nametag suggested was gaping at the amount he had purchased.

"Are you really going to buy all that?" she asked in disbelief.

To which Harry nodded with an apparent amusement at their disbelief.

"What are you doing with this much amount of food, trying to feed an army of elephants?"

"No but an army of people yes, you see I just moved here and am holding a reunion for my friends and family."

"Okay, let me ring these up with help of other cashiers it will take some time you can rest in our employee's restroom if you want." She suggested while she and the other cashiers started on the products.

"No that's okay but I want to take a look at the electronics section and would like some help."

"Of course sir, Sarah here will help you with anything you want."

"Good evening sir."

"Good evening and no need to call me sir, you can call me Harry."

"So Harry what are you looking for exactly."

"I don't know I will buy whatever grabs my attention." Harry replied smoothly avoiding showing his ignorance about electronics he only knew the word and what it meant listening to Dudley and his teachers at that time electronics had truly fascinated him and it was his dream to work with electronics at that moment in his life and maybe he would have if he hadn't found out about the magical world.

In the end Harry only ended up buying a walkman and cassettes of few soft-rock, pop and instrumental music to listen. Harry total shopping endeavour had nearly cost him $4,926.94 which he paid through a plastic card when he had envisioned the amount of money and a simple way to pay it which he had confusedly handed over to the cashier who immediately took and after running it in the machine handed him back along with a bill and a receipt to sign which he signed.

"Sir Do you want this delivered, if yes at what time?" Cindy politely asked.

"There is no need I have already arranged for a transport, if someone will help me take these out back I will be grateful, then from there me and my men will take care of it."

"Of course sir I send them right out."

Half an hour later all the materials were brought out back, Harry cast a combination of compulsion and illusion spell and convinced the people there that he and his imaginary men loaded the things in the imaginary truck and left. After all the people left Harry cast shrinking and feather light charm on the bags and pocketed them and left towards his temporary home on foot.

Reaching number 12 Harry un-shrunk the bags and placed them on the kitchen table. After placing them Harry used various cleaning charms that he had picked up from Mrs. Weasley in summer before the fifth year when they were forced to clean the house and cleaned the obviously dirty and dusty kitchen cabinets, and the living room, he had already cleaned rest of the kitchen, his room and the bathroom earlier. Having cleaned up the place Harry started on sorting the products in their respective places. Food stuffs and other kitchenware obviously went to the many cabinets in the kitchen. The toiletries took their place in the toilet and other smaller decorations and reading stuff went in the living room.

After finishing Harry was quiet hungry and slightly tired so set about cooking a meal to eat, after his meal Harry retired to his room where he listened to some music on his walkman for an hour after that he slipped into the covers for a goodnights rest.

Next morning was as usual Harry woke up finished his usual morning routine and had some breakfast he freshly prepared. In the past year he didn't even have time to sit around and eat in peace he was always busy with all the war going on.

The prospect of having more time than he knew what to do with it never occurred to him, even before the war he always had studies or some other adventure during Hogwarts and chores at Dursley's. So currently he was sitting on the sofa in the living room and contemplating as what to do with the remaining day he had left to himself.

Suddenly an idea popped up into Harry's mind.

'Well I could try to find any information that could explain and even help in regards to the accidental magic incident earlier today.'

With that thought Harry made his way to the library. Opening the library door Harry was dumbstruck to the sheer size of the library, it looked larger than the last time he entered with Sirius and Hermoine and it had been so long that he had even forgotten where it was located how it looked but entering the library refreshed his memory and it felt like a blanket was removed from his mind, puzzling over this incident he immediately got the answer in his head in the similar manner he received the location of the library it seems that the black library had some kind of wards that protected the library and the information in the library by fading away the memory in the back of any persons mind who are not Blacks or formally approved by the head of the Black family.

It also seemed that anyone not from the black family or formally approved by the Head of the Blacks could not take away any book or information from the library. According to the information he had gained he was the first in centuries to be deemed worthy as the head of the house and completely accepted by the manor wards meaning that he could access all the secrets of the manor that previous head of the houses that weren't accepted by the wards couldn't. He also instinctually knew in the back of his head that the information stored here should not be given to just anyone else on a whim as the knowledge stored here was ancient and definitely dangerous.

Harry was completely stunned when he focused on feeling the wards around the manor.

'Wow! The wards here are the damn powerful and ancient well at least the active ones are, I know there are many more non active ones that are usually only activated during emergencies by the head house and the only place that I have felt has more powerful active ones is Hogwarts.'

'If I can feel the wards does that mean that I am the new Head of the Black's and am deemed worthy?' Harry puzzled.

An affirmation made itself known in the back of his head which surprised Harry for an instant.

Shaking himself out off the surprise Harry made his way towards the large cushion seat where he just had to sit and the books he wanted would automatically appear on the table beside the seat all he had to do was to think about it.

As Harry was moving towards the seat something golden flashed in his eyes from the corner of one of the rows of books and suddenly curious Harry changed his direction towards the area where he could see a distinct golden colour book.

Picking out the book he read the title.

Darkness through the Wizarding Era by Marcus Tenmin Reier.

Examining the book Harry found that the book was fairly thin almost 5 to 10 pages only, curiosity roused even further by the title he took the book with him and sat on the cushion chair available and opened the book and started reading.

First update according to the universal calendar used.

23rd March 466 BC

I am writing this book to keep record of the great cataclysm that had almost consumed our world when I was young and virile and witness to one of the greatest battle between Good and Evil. I fear that the sacrifice made by the wizard to protect our world will be forgotten; no no I think the world has nearly forgotten so I am writing this to keep the record of the sacrifice the wizards made.

I still remember the day the great fight took place I was there, I was one of the fighters on the light side and had miraculously survived where hundreds had perished, it had been an intense fight hundreds dying on both sides finally it had been come down to the leaders of both sides, I am the lone survivor of that battle today, our leader Lord Morrison won that night, I still remember after the end he had cast a particularly powerful spell as I still remember the surge of magic that had followed and to this day I have never felt such powerful magical surge anywhere, before saying the spell he had kept his focus near where his heart was and had screamed 'Praedia Bellica' and then he had been engulfed by a pillar of golden light and then receded, later on I crawled towards where he laid and inquired about the final spell he had cast. He had answered and I still remember it as clearly as water to this day.

"It was necessary to weaken the power and influence of the shadow that looms over our world waiting to consume it leaving behind nothing but dead and destroyed husk of our world, even further so that it wouldn't return so strong for a long to time to come."

Where his final words after which he had succumbed to his injuries, I am still trying to figure out what he meant by the shadow that threatens our world and to date haven't been able to, maybe he had known something that I am still unaware of. He made it sound as if this shadow was an entity beyond mortal existence with intelligence and would come back again if not now then in another thousand years if that's true then I pray that there will be a saviour to save our world.

I have tried casting the last spell cast by Lord Morrison many times but it has never worked for me but after years of researching I have come to a conclusion that only a wizard who has defeated the leader of the darkness that threatens to destroy the world and is the leader of light would be able to cast this spell and I implore any wizard who has defeated the darkness to try and cast this spell and if it works then it would weaken its influence and power even more as I now believe. May the future generations live in times of light but not forget the sacrifices of few that have made it possible are my greatest wish.

So to record the events and what he said which may help the future generations I am writing this book and I have also connected this book to the magic itself to make it self-updating.

Last updated on 3rd May 1998.

Continuing reading Harry found the names of Merlin, Gryffindor, Dumbledore and surprisingly his name as four major conquerors of darkness and many minor dark lords and their defeaters.

Even after reading Harry's mind was still whirling in questions about the spell the wizard had cast near death or what he said about evil and dark been two different things but first he had to find more info on the spell if it truly existed then it could weaken the darkness even more. To gain more information about the 'Praedia Bellica' Harry requested the library togive him access to any information regarding the spell and was completely taken by surprise when he found no books or any other means of information on the desk besides him where it was supposed to appear.

'Well this means that either the library is denying my request or as improbable it sounds the library has no information on the particular spell, well time to find out.'

Harry immediately requested the library to find any books on final battle between Merlin and Morgana Le Fay suddenly the desk filled up with dozens of books that had even the smallest info.

'Well that proves it, the library is not denying my request rather it has no other information on the spell.'

'I can read about Merlin's conquest and try to find out if he too had used the spell or not, but I don't think I will find anything because if there was even a small mention of the spell then it would have been provided by the library earlier. Even then I will take look I may come across something similar in nature.'

With that thought Harry sat about reading Merlin's conquest of Morgana Le Fay, he read through dozens of eye witness accounts from the survivor of both sides of the war but there had been no mention of a spell nor any spell of similar nature cast by Merlin after Morgana's defeat but still the books had ascended Merlin to a god like stature for his conquest.

'Well that explains why there were no powerful dark lords between Morrison's conquest in 466 BC and Merlin's conquest in 959 AD and three dark lords between Merlin's conquest in 959 AD and my conquest in 1998. I could always try the spell and see what happens if it does work which I am sure will work based on the evidence then it will ensure that there will be no powerful dark lords for at least the next millennia.'

With that thought Harry got ready to cast when suddenly he remembered that he was in the library.

'Well I can't cast it here or else I may damage all the information stored here that means that I have to find someplace else that is protected.' As soon as he finished his thought he was informed about a ritual room that was heavily warded and its location which would be perfect for what he was about to do.

Making his decision he left the library and quickly made his way to the ritual room and opened the door, the room itself was nothing special it was completely made from natural granite which was said to be much better for any magical purposes.

Stepping inside the room Harry readied himself and placed his wand near his heart, praying that it would work and said the spell 'Praedia Bellica' as soon as he cast it Harry was enveloped with a huge influx of magic and light exploded out from him cycling through all the colours of the spectrum and this light show continued for well over 1 hour after which the light as well as the magic receded inside of Harry and he collapsed unconscious.

The time Harry was unconscious, few in the world were wide awake and their world turned over and in complete turmoil, one of these few was the Gringott's, the goblins were running helter-skelter even the higher goblin officials and trying to find the reason behind this massive economic turn over that was currently taking place in their bank completely by the will of magic alone and in which they neither had a hand nor control over.

It was quite a while later that Harry was awakening, with groan Harry opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar place and immediately tensed and reached for his wand readying himself to either attack or defend, slowly as fog lifted from his mind he remembered his last conscious memory and soon relaxed and placed his wand back in his holster.

'I blacked out and last thing I remember is feeling a pull at my magic and then explosion of magic and thereafter nothing, it seems that I blacked out and I also don't feel any different than before. What the hell did the spell do? It surely did something but I will research on that later right now I am famished and would like to eat something.'

Harry quickly left the room and made his way to the kitchen reaching there, Harry quickly took out his wand and cast 'Tempus' to know the current time.

'26th September 1998, 8:45 A.M.'

Seeing the time completely surprised Harry, if this was right which he sure was right would mean that he was unconscious for nearly a whole day.

'It seems that I am spending nearly all my time being unconscious one way or another.' He sighed softly and continued on with breakfast he had to prepare.

After finishing his breakfast he took a shower and freshened himself up. As he was coming inside his living room he suddenly heard taping from the direction of the window. Turing towards the window Harry saw an owl with a letter attached to its leg. Harry quickly opened the window as the owl was a Gringotts owl from the look of the medallion hanging from his neck, the owl flew inside and landed on the table while holding its leg out and cocking its head showing its importance and impatience. Harry quickly untied the letter and provided the owl with some water and owl treats that he had leftover that had been brought for Hedwig, soon after the owl flew off.

Sitting himself Harry broke the seal and unfolded the letter and started reading.

Greetings Lord Potter,

Head of the most Ancient and Noble House of Potter.

You have been requested to grace us with your presence at Girngotts at the earliest possible moment. At matter of utmost urgency is to be discussed with you that may affect you, a few others and the whole wizarding committee.

We will be utterly grateful if you will respond to our call promptly within an hour and then maybe we will be inclined to waive off all your past discretions. We eagerly await your arrival whenever it may be.

Yours Faithfully,

Bloodrune.

Gringotts Bank.

P.S.:- This letter provided to you is a onetime use two way portkey to get to Gringotts and back, the activation code is 'The Bank' and for back to your original location is 'Home'.

Reading the letter two more times Harry couldn't figure out what was it that the goblins required from him still he decided to meet the goblins as the letter contained a seal of authenticity that couldn't be faked and he could also see an opportunity to patch up the things between him and the goblins. Getting up Harry adjusted his only set of clothes and made himself as presentable as possible and holding up the letter and activated the portkey by saying the code and with a tug at his navel he was whisked away to Gringotts.

Harry appeared in one of the private conference halls and stumbled over, feeling highly disoriented and took a couple of seconds to orient himself. When Harry looked around he found a goblin looking at him highly amused.

"You still haven't got the hang of magical transport it seems Mr. Potter."

"So it seems." Harry grumbled slightly embarrassed.

"Anyway why have I been called here and that too urgently?"

"Such matters cannot be discussed here and certainly not with me my superiors are waiting for you, follow me Mr. Potter."

The goblin whose name Harry found to be Longtooth led Harry through the hallways of the bank and through a confusing and long cart drive and came to stop in front of the most extravagantly and elegantly decorated door in the bank.

"Here we are Mr. Potter; I bid you farewell and good luck."

"You are not coming inside?"

"No Mr. Potter this is a closed and a private meeting Mr. Potter which I have been not invited too."

Nodding his head Harry pushed the door which opened with surprising ease for such a huge door and stepped inside and immediately the door closed itself. The room itself was brightly lit and decorated to display the riches and the history of the goblins. There were was a large collection of different weapons on display meant to intimidate and inspire awe in any one visiting which was exactly what was displayed on Harry's face which greatly pleased some of the goblins present in the room. There were from what Harry could tell about three important looking goblins seated in a raised platform and a chair in front of them and about seven other security goblins spread about in the room. The room itself reminded Harry of an over decorated court cum interrogation room.

"Have a seat Mr. Potter." A Goblin seated at the throne like chair in centre motioned him towards a single chair in the front of him.

Harry quickly made his way to the chair and sat down.

"Thank you for answering the summons promptly Mr. Potter and as promised all your past discretions have been forgotten."

"Now for introductions, on my left is Bloodhand the Manager of Magical Inheritance and on my right is Madpaw the Manager of Finance and I am Ragnok Director of Gringotts bank."

"Please to meet you sirs and if I may can we get to the point for which I have been called?" Harry replied losing his patience and slightly irritated with the arrogance and the treatment of the goblins.

"Hold your tongue boy do you know who you are talking to." A Goblin looked like the head of security growled out.

"It's okay Dreadfire calm down." Ragnok said silencing the Goblin.

"It seems everything I heard about you is true, you truly are fearless and quite courageous exactly as I heard of you." Ragnok said clearly in amusement.

"Anyways let's get down to business, Mr. Potter have you performed heavy magic or been exposed to such in last 24 hours, if so we would like to know all the details of it." Ragnok questioned.

Harry frowned at the question.

'Why would they want to know about any magics I performed, there is something they are not telling me and only heavy spell I performed was the 'Praedia Bellica' and I won't disclose this spell under any circumstances as this spell could cause unforeseen consequences if it fell in the wrong hands and especially when I don't know exactly what it does.'

"I may be inclined to share the information you require if I know the exact details of the situation that may require this information."

"I knew that you wouldn't share the information without knowing the full details which are usually the traits every leader shares especially after coming out of war."

"Well after whatever it is that you did many of the Noble and Ancient house lordship as well as their magical assets have been transferred over to you, these include the Malfoys, the Notts, the Goyles, the Crabbes, the Lestranges, the Yaxleys, the Rookwoods, the Carrows and few others."

Hearing this Harry fell into deep thought and was brought out of it by the sound of Ragnok continuing.

"As you may or may not have guessed these people either have been in direct or indirect services of deceased Dark Lord."

"Yes I came to the same conclusion too but even then I am unwilling to share the information you require not because I don't want to but because the damage such knowledge would cause if it got out and when even I don't know the exact effects of it and for that I am extremely sorry."

"How dare you? You lowly human denying the director the information you promised." This time the explosion came from the manger of the finances.

Ragnok held up his hand signalling the Goblin to calm down and said.

"I knew you wouldn't share the information Mr. Potter you are a good person and your conscience wouldn't allow you to hand over such volatile information to anybody and you don't need to as I have already have an I idea of what you did."

"Bloodhand, Madpaw and all of you leave the room I need to speak with Mr. Potter privately." Hearing this, the goblins started to protest but a glare from the director silenced them and they quietly made their way out.

"Now that we are alone we can talk freely." Ragnok replied holding up his hand to silence Harry seeing him starting to protest and continued.

"I know that you won't discuss the information I require under any circumstances but I may have an idea of what you may have done so I will come forth with what I think, taking a wild guess I will say that you used the spell known as 'Praedia Bellica' didn't you Mr. Potter?"

Hearing this completely shocked and surprised Harry.

"Seeing the look on your face means that I guessed correctly didn't I Mr. Potter?" Ragnok chuckled amusedly and then suddenly turned serious.

"If you have then we have to talk."

'Well there is no use of hiding it now as he already knows about it, there is no other knowledge of this spell other than what I already know which by the way isn't much in the wizarding world maybe I can find out more about this spell from the goblins or from Ragnok as he seems to have more information on this spell.'

"It is indeed the spell I used and if I may ask how you know of this spell I thought this spell was last long ago before even the time of Merlin." Harry asked composing himself after finishing up his contemplation.

"This spell is indeed lost Mr. Potter and I was shocked when certain things had started occurring in the bank yesterday late evening it didn't take me long to come to the conclusion that someone had used the said spell and only one capable of using this spell at this point of time that was alive was you. Yes other than you I am the only one that know of this spell and all its details, even to the goblins this spell is lost."

"Can you give me the details of this spell and how you know of it? Even I don't know the full details, as I came across this spell in a book where the author had seen this spell being cast by a light lord when he had defeated a powerful dark lord a millennia before Merlin's time and recorded its exact wordings and procedures but even after researching for nearly a century he couldn't find the exact results of this spell."

"You mean to say that you used this spell without knowing the exact details and workings of this spell!" Ragnok exclaimed looking aghast.

"Well I researched it somewhat first and it didn't seem harmful and it also seemed that when the spell was used the darkness hadn't returned for nearly thousand years and the knowledge of the spell was lost thereafter, since then the resurgence of the dark lords have been quite frequent and also based on the research of the author I cast this spell." Harry finished sheepishly knowing how weak his reasoning his sounded.

"Well you are quite lucky since this spell is harmless but quite powerful in its own right and in right hands. This spell was invented by the Elder Dragons, they were said to be the oldest race and immortal but not invulnerable as they and all other races were nearly wiped out during the dark ages when the darkness was at its highest." Ragnok explained.

"But why invent the spell?" Harry inquired unable to understand the reason behind the existence of the spell.

"The reason this spell was invented was to weaken darkness, one has to understand that the war which happened nearly ten thousand years ago had devastated Gaia herself and caused the extinction of many magical creatures. So as to take precautions that the evil could never again threaten the world with near destruction the Elder Dragons came up with a solution and that was the 'Praedia Bellica' spell and the spell was then distributed to the worthy leader of each race."

"As for what this spell does is that when cast it would magically claim all the magical assets of the dark lord and transfer it over to the defeater. The spell not only targeted the leader of the dark legion but also all his followers and also all their assets, the spell only works if all the conditions were met which you might have already guessed." Ragnok finally finished presenting all the knowledge he had on this spell.

Harry nodded his head signalling that he understood what Ragnok had explained.

"As for the races, after the dark ages the humans betrayed them and started purging them, caught off guard most of the races already weakened were wiped out, few of the races that remained didn't have enough population to sustain themselves and soon died but not before having their revenge it seems the Elder Dragons with their end near cast a powerful magical curse that destroyed the knowledge of all the other magical races from their minds, their magical knowledge and their magic itself from the humans, creating more muggles than wizards at the time when wizards outnumbered the muggles." Ragnok finished.

Hearing this stunned Harry he never knew this part of the wizarding history and understood why as the knowledge had been wiped clean from humans but one thing still confused him and decided to ask Ragnok as he seemed inclined to answer him.

"If magic was wiped clean from humans then how come there are wizards today?"

"You misunderstand young lord as powerful as the Elder Dragons were they were not gods and as such few powerful wizards survived with some magic but they were quite few and as a result went into hiding fearing retribution from the races and the newly created muggles it was during this period that we went underground and we have no further knowledge of the surface world than that and few millennia's later when we emerged we tried searching and contacting other races but found no one other than humans flourishing and races we found had degraded and were pale comparisons to their forefathers. They are the vampires and werewolves that we see today, there are no true vampires or werewolves instead these night haunting blood suckers fully depended on blood and completely vulnerable to sunlight and mindless meat eating beasts having no control over their own minds and slaughtering each other and dragons being no more than animals and pale imitation of their ancestors. Does this satisfy your curiosity?"

"Yes, I have learnt more magical history from you than I have ever done from anywhere else and thank you for all the information you have truly given me lot to think about but I would like to ask why tell me as far as I can tell I am the only human alive that knows this, right?." Harry asked.

"Yes and you have earned it with your victory over the dark lord and proven yourself worthy with the successful casting of the 'Praedia Bellica'. You won't ever be able to share this knowledge with another of your kind as the curse is still in effect. Though one thing still baffles me is how humans retained the knowledge of this spell and this one mystery I am unable to solve. Do you know the answer Harry?" Ragnok asked interested in knowing the answer.

"No Lord Ragnok I only found the spell and the last person who cast it and nothing more." Harry replied truthfully.

"Yes the last Morrison was the one who cast it and died soon after from the injuries sustained."

"You know." Harry asked in surprise.

"Of course we know we have always kept detailed history of everything we came across." Ragnok replied scoffing at the notion of not knowing.

"Now the we have satisfied both our curiosities there is nothing of importance to discuss but before you leave, remember to visit Gringotts later when you have time we have to discuss all the inheritances that you have been entitled to due to this spell which we are still sorting out and will be finished within a day and a half at the most and Harry here this book will provide you with the history humans seemed to have forgotten and only you will ever able to read it." Ragnok finished hand Harry a small leather bound book.

Harry looked completely dumfounded at the priceless gift he had been provided with.

"I honoured at the gift Lord Ragnok and I don't think I will ever be able to repay you for this."

"I don't need anything I just request that you truly understand and learn from the history of our world that has been provided to you."

"I will." Harry vowed bowing and left through the door he had entered deep in thought still pondering at the information he received from Ragnok.

Harry was brought out of his musings by Longtooth calling his name who was waiting for him near the cart that had brought him to Ragnok's office.

"Longtooth thank you for waiting."

"I hope the meeting was pleasent."

"It was and so much more enlightening and it has given me much more to think about and it has truly made me realize how little I know about the world at large and even of the one that I am residing in for last 7 years." Harry replied.

Silenced followed Harry's statement, Longtooth quietly led Harry to the front entrance and saying goodbye both left to finish their respective duties.

Harry cast a glamour spell on himself before stepping out of Gringotts to avoid been mobbed like earlier when he had visited the alley. Quickly making his way towards his destination that was the Madam Malkin's where he wanted to buy some robes for everyday purposes and for important functions and occasions.

Entering the shop Harry was greeted by Madam Malkin.

"Would you like anything to purchase sir?"

"Yes, I want a full wardrobe complete with everyday robes, dress robes of latest fashions, potion making robes and other lab robes complete with its accessories."

"Certainly sir and what colour would you like the everyday robes to be? Would you like the any charms on them?"

"Charms on robes?" Harry asked.

"Of course sir, there are numerous charms like the self cleaning, wrinkle free, self ironing, resizing charms to resize the clothes to a certain extent i.e. 3 inches larger or smaller and full array of weather charms with which you can be protected from all the weather elements like rainfall, extreme heat or cold etc. but the charms will cost extra." Madam Malkin explained.

"I would like about six everyday robes imbued with list of all the charms available and in darker shades of colours." Harry ordered.

"Of course sir, I will get straight to it after taking your measurements." Waving her wand and taking the measuring tapes she started taking his measurements and announcing the measurement which was recorded in a small notepad the quill was magically writing it down as she said it and few minutes later she finished it.

"I have all the measurements I require; now how would you like your dress robes?"

"Well I will have six dress robes of latest fashion, the colours being emerald and midnight blue both with silver trimmings, one with dark red with gold, black with silver and blue and other two of your own choice and all of this should be good enough to be worn in High society meetings and parties complete with all the charms."

"Of course, would you like it to be in normal cotton or silk?"

"What is the difference?"

"The cotton looks dull while silk has a shine of its own and is more comfortable and also charms last longer on clothes made out of silk and it is mostly preferred by rich families."

"If so then I would like my dress robes in silk." Harry replied after thinking about it.

"How much is it? And when can I have them?" Harry asked.

"Well the total comes to about 1076 galleons and 10 sickles i.e. 1076 galleons. You will have to pay 500 galleons now and remaining later on after delivery which you can collect in an hour."

Paying 500 galleons Harry left promising to return in an hour.

With that finished Harry started making his way quickly through the crowd to get to muggle London for some muggle clothing when his eye fell on the Knockturn alley, wanting to check it out as he never seen what was truly in there Harry stepped inside the alley.

Harry immediately noted the difference as soon as he entered, this place gave one a sense of fear, intimidation and certain tingling in the back of the head indicating that the place was dangerous but not much as his danger senses were not blaring at full alert to cause him to be really worried but he still checked his wand and kept his senses alert. Walking little further something caught his eye and interest.

'Osborn Magical Optician'

Quickly making his way to the shop Harry entered it and was immediately greeted by a female voice.

"Good evening sir how may I help you?"

"I am looking for something special like magical eye of Mad-eye Moody."

"You have obviously come to the wrong place then as we don't deal in such things, you better leave sir." The female replied in angry tone of voice.

"I would make it worth your time and I am not from the ministry and if I was you would have already known you people do keep updated information of the people working for ministry don't you? So don't play games with me." Harry replied in a hard tone

"Well I know you're not from the ministry, your reaction and your possession of the little piece of information that very few and trusted people know proves it. So you want eyes like Mad-eye Moody do you?" female asked with more politeness her personality taking a complete turn.

"Not exactly I want all the functions in Mad-eye's magical eye in glasses and any other important charm in it too, can it be done. The cost is of no consequence."

"Of course it can be done, wait her for few minutes and I will bring it to you." With that she entered a small room at the end of the shop and came out few minutes later with glasses on a pillow.

"Add few drops of blood on it and place it on your face, after that no one except anyone you give the permission to will be able to remove it." The lady explained while continuing.

"The glasses can see through walls, through any material and invisibility cloak, except those protected by some wards and several other functions, it also alerts you of any dangerous spell cast in about radius of 10 meters of you and all the magical being in that radius, you can activate or deactivate it at your discretion and you adjust its range of spell sensor all of this can be controlled by your thoughts even the see through capabilities that's about it and the total cost is 1500 galleons." The lady finished.

After paying, Harry pricked his finger and let few drops of blood drop on the glasses which was immediately absorbed and he placed it on his face and he immediately felt a prickle in his eyes and immediately saw the shop lady completely naked and immediately averted his eyes with a dark red blush growing on his face while thinking of deactivating the charm and turned his attention back to the lady after suppressing his blush seeing her with a smirk on her face.

"Liked what you saw Mr. Potter?" she asked winking suggestively.

Harry immediately blushed and instantly stiffened bringing out his wand and aiming at her with the wand tip glowing ominously red as soon as he heard his name being mentioned.

"How did you know?"

"You're naive Mr. Potter there are wards surrounding nearly all the shops in here that cancel out all glamours and several other functions as preferred by the caster as my shop is invisible to all persons bearing the dark mark." The lady replied placating Harry who relaxed slightly.

"If you reject the death eaters then how do you support your business?" Harry asked curiously.

At that the lady laughed and replied.

"Not all wizards are death eaters and they surely are not the only people that visit knockturn alley and after all that there are muggles too for which I have a shop at the end of this shop which can be accessed through the little room at the back you can see." The lady explained.

"Well I got what I wanted and it is everything I wanted thank you." With that Harry left slightly miffed at not even realising his removal of glamour and berating himself for entering an establishment especially in Knockturn alley without checking it out.

Coming out of the shop Harry transfigured his robes to have a hood and started navigating his way through the alley trying to find other places of interest never knowing that alley was so full of diverse and interesting shops more than that in the Daigon alley even if many of them where of the darker kind but it also had some more interesting things that were not dark but ministry in all their great wisdom deemed them to be dark. While browsing a certain shop caught his attention 'Zahrian's Magical pets and familiars' seeing the shop Harry thoughts went back to his first friend Hedwig and made a decision to try to get a new familiar as Hedwig had been a good companion when he was alone but not to replace his snowy white owl as nothing could replace her, a new familiar would someone that would be faithful and be with him when he felt alone and if it spoke parseltongue it would be great to converse with.

With that in mind Harry headed inside after checking the shop any harmful shop and pulling his hood over his head to hide his face, as soon as he entered the he was assaulted by peculiar smells and sounds of the place.

"Yes sir how may I help?" A slimy looking man came forward greed and distrust literally wafting from his body. Not liking the look on the Shopkeeper's face Harry replied with a hard edge in his voice warning the man to not to try anything funny, the technique he had learnt during the war and it was quite successful.

"Just looking I will address you when I have found something of interest, is that understood?" Harry was satisfied seeing the man nervously nod.

With that Harry started browsing through the different creatures in the shop, there were different kinds of snakes, small cubs, puppies and other common creatures like nifflers, owls etc, browsing for some time Harry came to the end wall and had browsed all the creatures in the shop and he still didn't find any creature that caught his attention like Hedwig had.

Frustrated Harry turned around and left the shop at not having found a proper companion.

Walking further into the alley he came upon a clothes shop, wanting to check the difference between the one in daigon alley and one in here Harry made his way into the shop and entered it.

As soon as he entered he was greeted by a young lady in her mid twenties.

"Welcome sir how may I help you?"

"I am just looking, I will buy if something strikes my fancy."

With that Harry started browsing through the collection and was surprised to come across a small collection of muggle clothes.

'This is perfect if I can buy some muggle clothes then I wouldn't need to head to muggle London.'

"So you keep muggle clothes, I thought wizards don't buy muggle clothing as it is consider it beneath them." Harry asked.

"Well muggle fashion is quite famous with the witches and I have a muggle shop out the back in the muggle London, so that one day it catch an interest of somebody I keep a small collection, would like to buy these." The lady asked sounding hopeful.

"Yes, I will have a dozen t-shirts in plain darker colours and a few pairs of latest fashion and a half a dozen jeans again of darker colours with all the charms packages and few pairs of plain muggle undergarments along with night wear and comfortable home wear." Harry said.

The lady hurriedly nodded and took his measurements and set about collecting the clothes Harry had mentioned. During that time Harry browsed some more and he came across, truly a piece of work, it looked like something royalty would wear the dress robes itself gave of a sense of power, tranquillity, lightness and nobility and it was unlike anything he had seen, it was a perfect blend between the muggle and wizarding clothing. It had an inner shirt and pant similar to the suit the muggle's wear for meetings. The shirt was emerald with a silvery shine which could change shades according to the light, the pants was black but alternated between red and silver as the light hit it. Finally there was the outer robe that was completely silver with intricate designs in the front in emerald and gold and embroidered at the back was a huge bird the size of a Hungarian Horntain if not bigger with two huge wings completely midnight black in colour and ending in a huge tail wing. Its body was blackish silver in colour flying in an extremely dangerous looking thunderstorm and looking completely at home.

As soon as the lady returned Harry immediately asked her about the dress.

The lady looked shocked and surprised when Harry asked her about the dress but shook her head and replied.

"That sir is truly one of a kind, it was created by a late master tailor about a century ago and had given it to my grandfather who took a magical oath promising that his family would sell it to a customer whose attention would fall on this robes as the tailor demanded."

"A dress robe catching the eye of a person and a robe catches someone's eye on its looks and surely such a beautiful dress robe must have garnered more than few people's interest." Harry asked little sceptically not believing even for a second the story of the dress robe catching someone's eye.

"That's what we thought too sir, but you're the first person to even ask about the robe and after so long we had thought that the dress robe would never catch anyone's attention."

"So what is so unique about this dress robe?" Harry asked obviously deducing that from just looking at the robes.

"It is made from the material of both a unicorn and a basilisk whose bodies the tailor had come across when taking a stroll in the forest near his house and from what the tailor said both the creatures had died fighting each other and as soon as he saw them he just had an inspiration to create a dress robe from them. The dress robe is entirely made from the materials of the unicorn and the young basilisk. One important thing, this is purely a dress robe not armour, it will provide for no protection whatsoever even if basilisk hide was used in its creation"

"So you are going to buy it." The lady asked hopefully.

"Yes I am going to buy this masterpiece even if don't think I will ever get an opportunity to wear it how much will it cost me."

"It will cost you around 5000 galleons plus 600 galleons for the other purchases." The woman replied.

Hearing the amount Harry's eyes widened but quickly controlled himself and handed her 600 galleons while removing the cheque book from his wallet for the much bigger amount of 5000 galleons.

"How do I make the transfer?" Harry asked not knowing how to use a cheque as having never used it in wizarding world.

"Write my name and the amount on the cheque and then place our wand on the box provided here and I once I deposit it in the bank I will be provided with the amount written here." Harry did as she asked and left the shop with his purchases.

Tired and weary Harry decided to head home after collecting his purchases from Madam Malkin's promising himself to return and continue his explorations. Heading to Madam Malkins, Harry collected his purchases after paying the balance and apparated home.

Getting home Harry sorted his purchases in the proper places in the wardrobes and placed the robe separate from others. After arranging his purchases Harry checked the time and was surprised at the lateness of the day, it was nearly 5 in the evening. Feeling hungry he made himself something to eat and then retired to his room to get some shut eye. Later in the evening he woke freshened up and passed his time listening to some music on his Walkman and surfing through the magazines he bought till the dinner time and retired to his bed for the night after preparing and having his dinner.

P.s. And as I said you can provide your very own ideas too and if I can use it without major plot change and I like it, I might use it.
