Chapter 2- Diagon Alley
Snape lead Harry into Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, after they had gotten money from Harry's Gringotts vault. There he got his Hogwarts uniform and a new muggle wardrobe. They got all his other equipment and ingredients. Then they went to Flourish and Blotts to get his schoolbooks; he also got a few extra books.
Finally they went to get his wand. They went inside the tiny shop and waited. Harry, who was staring at his feet, didn't notice Mr. Ollivander enter the room. Snape tapped his shoulder to get his attention. Harry flinched and looked up.
"Are you left or right handed Mr. Potter." Snape asked. Harry raised his right hand. Mr. Ollivander started to measure Harry, then gave him a wand and told him to wave it. Harry did but it was quickly taken away. This repeated again and again until Harry finally found his wand. Mr. Ollivander muttered something but Harry couldn't catch it. Snape quickly paid for the wand and led Harry out.
They headed for the Leaky Cauldron but much to Snape's displeasure someone called "Professor Snape?" He stopped short and Harry ran into him. He glared down at the boy who cringed for a moment then looked up apologetically.
Snape looked up to see who called him. Percy Weasley was walking over with another red-haired boy, his brother Snape assumed. "Hello Professor. This is my brother Ronald, he'll be a first year this year."
Molly Weasley walked up to the group and said "Hello Professor Snape"
"Hello Molly" he said politely "We have to get going" he tapped Harry, who was staring at his feet again, on the shoulder. The small boy tensed and looked up. "Come, Potter." As the walked away Snape heard Ronald say "Potter? Mum, was that Harry Potter?"
They walked up to the Leaky Cauldron. Snape led Harry to a room in the back of the bar that was used for the Floo. "Okay, Potter, we are going to Floo to Hogwarts. You have to hold on to me tightly or you could fall out the wrong grate." Harry nodded.
Snape threw some Floo Powder into the fire. He grabbed Harry's hand, stepped into the fire, and said "Hogwarts, Headmasters Office."
