Harry decided to buy the best of the best. He looked at his list and decided to buy his wand first. He heard a boy saying, "Can we go to Derrickson's wand shop, instead of Ollivander's?" Harry decided to follow the boy.

"Hello, Hogwarts too?" The boy asked.

"Yes, my name is Harry, Harry Potter," Harry replied.

The boy uttered out a small gasp before saying, "Really, we've been looking for you for so long. By the way, I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy." He seemed to be concealing something.

"So, are you here to get a wand?" Harry asked.

"Yes."

The line that they had been waiting on finally disappeared. "Hello boys," the Wandmaker said, in a weird voice, "simply wave your hand over the materials, put aside the ones you feel a pull to."

Harry started off with the outside material(s), while Draco started with the core. Harry felt an extremely strong pull to a black wood and a metal that Harry recognized as uranium. Draco put aside a black feather and a clear looking vial. When Harry chose the cores, he picked out a flimsy black thing, a black-looking vial, and a black scale. Draco, for woods, chose redwood.

"Interesting combination, Mr. Potter, dark-yew, magic-enhanced uranium, Dementor cloak, Acromantula venom, and a thestral scale. Now, young Mr. Malfoy, a common Malfoy combination, redwood, with dark phoenix feather and tear," Derrickson said. "Now, I let my customers put their wands together. Follow me." He walked over to the back room, Harry and Draco followed.

"This is the Wandifier, as I call it," he said. "Simply put the ingredients in and then do what I say. It'll change the length and flexibility according to your touch. Put your materials in, Malfoy on the left, P-P-Potter on the right."

Harry didn't understand why Derrickson stuttered, but he obeyed.

"Just click the buttons from in to out," Derrickson instructed.

Harry and Draco pressed the buttons, and, a few moments later, two fresh wands popped out.

"Potter, your wand is more powerful than the Deathstick itself, be careful. Each of your wands will only respond to your magical core. Also, these wands are not pre-made, so they do not have any sort of Ministry Tracking Spell, so you will be able to practice anywhere."

Draco looked particularly gleeful on that, and Harry was excited that his wand was the most powerful. They each paid 10 Gold Galleons for their wands and thanked Mr. Derrickson.

They decided to go to the Magical Zoo-Shop after. It had snakes, owls, and even BABY DRAGONS. Harry gasped. He went over to one of the bigger snakes. He thought his mind was playing tricks on him when he heard the snake speak.

Hello, young hatchling.

Hello, came Harry's reply.

Do you wish me to be your familiar?

Okay.

Harry picked up the snake (baby basilisk's) cage. He then went over to an owl and spoke with her too.

Do you understand me?

Of course.

Do you want to be my familiar?

It is an honor to have a speaker want me to be their familiar.

The room hushed. "You're a speaker," the man at the cash register yelled. "The last was Halden Ravenclaw-Slytherin."

"So no one understood me?" Harry asked.

The people shook their heads.

"Then I possibly am descended from Ravenclaw and Slytherin?"

"Yes."

Harry went over to the cash register and asked, in English, "How much will this be?"

"50 Galleons, but you have a special speaker 20% discount, so you will only have to pay 40."

Harry paid and then walked to the robe store where Draco was standing. They went inside, to meet a short woman that looked like she was carrying a boulder.

"Hello boys," she yawned, "the standard Hogwarts set?"

Harry looked back at his list and asked, "The standard Hogwarts set consists of Three sets of plain work robes that are black, one plain pointed hat that is also black for day wear, one pair of protective gloves made of a material similar to dragon hide, and one winter cloak, which is black with silver fastenings, correct?"

"Yes."

"I want 10 sets of plain black robes, with my name on them in green, with heating, waterproofing, and muggle-repelling charms on them, that are made out of the finest material, which I think is Acromantula Silk, I would like the same for 3 hats and 3 winter cloaks, that meet the requirements on the list, and for the gloves, I would like the same, but with the strongest material, these I also want to change to my size automatically, and I want it to be intruder-free," Harry said.

"I only need the standard Hogwarts set, with Acromantula Silk." Draco said.

"You, yours is 1200 Galleons, while your friends is only 130," the woman yawned. "They will be ready in 2 hours time."

Harry and Draco paid for their robes and set off for the Apothecary to buy their potions equipment.

"Hello children," said the manager.

"Hello," Harry said. "We would each like 3 of the Level 5 potion ingredient packs, an unbreakable pewter size 2, collapsible, self-stirring cauldron, a set of crystal phials, 4 sets of brass scales level 4, and a set of power potions."

The man rushed over to the back room and grabbed what Harry requested, "That will be 35 Galleons each."

Harry and Draco both paid the money and thanked him.

Next, they went across the alley to Scribbulus Writing Equipment. They each picked out

5 eagle feather quills (with undetectable neatness, spell-check, and shrinkable charms), 50 feet of parchment, and a set of ink bottles.

After that, they went to Flourish & Blotts, and, instead of getting all of the books, they found a book called The Book Of Books. They took 2, and when they went to the counter, and asked, "How much are these?"

"They would be 112 Galleons each."

"Here, by the way, the price is very cheap," Harry said, and they each gave him 112 Galleons.

After that, they picked up their robes and got the final thing they needed, their trunks. Each of them got a trunk that had shrinking and enlarging buttons, with a library, potions lab, study, mini zoo, magical hideout, bedroom, a bathroom, and three extra rooms.

Harry went to the candy store, alone, and practically bought the shop.

Finally, they went to Quidditch for Quidditchers and got a custom adjustable broom (5,000 Galleons) each, and got a personal Quidditch set.

"Harry," Draco began.

"Yes?"

"Will you like to come home with me?"

"Sure!"

"Mother! Father! Auntie Bella! I have finally found Harry!"

"Really?" A man who Harry assumed to be Mr. Malfoy, asked.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Malfoy," Harry said, extending a hand.

"That's Uncle Lucius to you," he said and shook the hand.

"Uncle?"
