Chapter 2: Training begins
4 yrs later…
Harry woke up in the quiet morning of his birthday. His aunt was calling him for breakfast. His aunt told him, "Harry, today we would be going to Diagon alley for getting you a wand and some books to study." To say that Harry was excited was an understatement. They got ready and reached gringotts by 10 in the morning. When they reached inside, they were lead to the manager Rognok.
He said, "Well Mr. Potter, we would first have to check what all gifts you possess. Just drop a little bit of your blood on this parchment and we will know."
Harry did so and soon words started forming on the parchment.

Petunia was staring wide eyed at the parchment. "what is the meaning of this?" she asked. "Well, it seems Mr. Potter seems to be having a lot of 'gifts'." Rognok replied. Petunia was flustred, and asked again, "but what about this vampire and werewolf thing? And what the hell is Veela and Drachonic transformations?" Ragnok replied, "Well, it would seem that Mr. Potter seems to be having a vampire and a werewolf as well as a vela and some Drachonus as his ancestor. You don't have to worry. All these transformations will be pretty useful and can be controlled to be brought about whenever he wants to. They have not shown themselves in his parents or grandparents for that matter. These abilities will manifest themselves as he nears his puberty and the rest will manifest completely by the time he's 16. So for now, we have to make sure that he learns everything he can in the Hogwarts curriculum that is to say transfigurations, potions, defense, charms, runes, history of magic, care of magical creatures, astrology, arithemancy, as well as being an animagi. I will arrange for the appropriate tutors for him and send you a portkey tomorrow so that he can start training here in a special room." "thank you very much Mr. Rognok. Now can you tell me where Harry can get a wand apart from the olliwanders?"
"Sure Mrs. Dursley. There is a shop few streets away from the olliwanders named as the credetanians. They make custom wands which are better suited for a wizard but their price is very high." Ragnok replied. "Price is no objection. I will see to it. What about the books?" Asked Petunia. The goblin thought for some moments and then replied, "The tutors themselves will bring the books Mr. Potter will be needing and give it to him when he comes. Anything else Mrs. Dursley?" Petunia smiled and shook her head in negative and replied, "No, thank you for everuthing. I will be leaving now to get Harry his wand."
Petunia then took Harry to the wand shop. The inside of the shop was dark and danky. There was nobody around. "Hello?" Petunia called. "Welcome to my shop." A deep voice came from the shadows behind the counter. The man was thin and very old with eyes that looked haunted and the skin was wrinkled heavily as if he were wearing a skin suite many times his size. The man came out from the shadows and asked, "What can I do for you madam?" Petunia shivered a little but then replied, "I need a wand for my son. You are not to informe of this trade to anyone nor should you put any form of tracer on the wand for the ministry. Price will be of no objection. Just do what you are asked to do." "Very well madam, young sir, just wave your hands over the ingredients and give me the ingredients from which you feel a certain warm pull." Harry looked at Petunia for approval and after getting it he slowly started moving around the shop.
Soon he gathered all the ingredients for the wand and handed them over to the wand-maker. The wand-maker was shocked and said, "Amazing, you must be a very powerful wizard young sir for getting such contradicting yet powerful cores for your wand. A phoenix feather, basilisk venom, powdered horn of a unicorn and oh my… a dementor's blood. Very well, now please choose the wood for the wand in the same manner." Harry again started sorting through the woods and soon he had chosen four different woods, Evergreen, Holly, Oak, and Willow. The wand-maker soon collected all the ingredients and went inside to make the wand. An hour later he came out with the wand. It was sleek, 11 & ½ inches, black in color. Then he said, "I need a drop of your blood and then the wand will only work for you. Excited, harry gave a drop of his blood in a vial and gave it to the wand maker. Soon the wand was ready and was given to Harry. As soon as harry took the wand in his hand, he felt a rush of power through his veins and red and golden sparks shot out of his wand with a bang. The wand-maker was looking at harry with awe and said, "Surely young sir, you are destined to be a great wizard. Never have I made such a powerful wand. The price will be 50 galleons and along with the wand I will give you an invisible holster which will also prevent the wand from being summoned by anyone."
Harry was very excited and came out jumping and skipping. Then they went to the pet shop where they were looking around for a gift for his birthday. As soon as Harry went into the shop he started feeling a pull towards the end of the shop. As soon as he reached inside he saw a beautiful small baby snake with a red head, blue throat and copper red body. Harry heard the snake hiss, "Ssstupid humanssss… they left me here in thisss cassse…" Harry said, "Hey there little one… what is your name? why are you upsssset?"
The snake turned towards Harry and hissed, "you are a ssspeaker… Will you bond with me massster? I am an inesss cobra…"
Harry hissed, "what will I have to do to bond with you sssnake?"
The snake replied, "jussst come here and touch my head with your hand… our magic will do the ressst massster…"
Harry touched the snake and soon a blue light surrounded them both. Harry felt recharged and turned towards the snake and hissed, "you are now my familiar, I name you Denwen after a ssserpent god, sssnake"
The snake hissed back, "I find it pleassssing massster… but pleassse don't buy me, hide me under your vessst becaussse the sssshopkeeper will remove my poisssson glandssss."
Harry let the snake crawl back under his vest and went back outside. He spotted a snowy owl and asked petunia, "Can I have her please?" Petunia answered smilng, "Sure sweetheart, its your birthday afterall."
Petunia then bought the snowy owl and bought a cage along with some owl treats. They then went back home and Harry waited excitedly for his training which was starting the next day.
