Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I also don't make any money by writing this book. Last time we saw how Harry destroys the Dursleys and the chapter ends at the moment Harry receives the letter from Hogwarts.
Chapter 2 – Getting Ready for Hogwarts
Harry sat there for a moment. He finally had the letter from Hogwarts in his hand. He opened the letter and knew what was written on it.
4 Privet Drive
Harry Potter
The smallest room in the house
Mr. Harry Potter, we are glad to inform you that you have been chosen to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where you will spend 7 years learning magic. Behind is a list of books which you will require for your first year at Hogwarts.
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Harry checked behind to see a list of books, parchment, and some quills which he had to bring for his first year. He was also allowed to bring a pet if he wished. After reading the letter Harry thought about how he was going to get to The Leaky Cauldron. The secret passageway to Diagon Alley where he could buy his stuff was located there and most importantly Gringgotts. Gringgotts was probably the safest place to keep anything secured but Hogwarts was more safer than Gringgotts. Harry thought that it was best if he used apparition as he didn't knew how to drive a car and the next moment Harry was outside the Leaky Cauldron.
Harry went inside and recognized Tom, the owner of Leaky Cauldron but before Harry could go to greet Tom he was surrounded by all the people who were in the Leaky Cauldron. Everyone wanted to shake hands with Harry the-boy-who-lived. After Tom got everyone settled down he and Harry sat down together. It was Tom who spoke first.
"Harry what are you doing here and why are you alone?" Tom asked.
"I had just received a letter from Hogwarts Mr. Tom and I am here to buy my books, quills, parchment and all that school stuff and it was written in the letter that I could buy it from Diagon Alley which is in The Leaky Cauldron but I don't see the alley anywhere. Can you tell me where the alley is Mr. Tom? "Harry said.
"Well the Diagon Alley is hidden inside the Leaky Cauldron Harry, come with me I will show you where it is located." Tom said. He took Harry to small area which had particularly nothing there. Just a set of bricks which could be seen which had not been covered by a red paint.
Tom went forward and touched the bricks in a strange manner and finally on the last brick he had touched, took out his wand and tapped the brick. The next moment the bricks slowly moved to both the sides until Diagon Alley could be seen.
"Harry will you be able to buy all the things you want your own?" said a worried Tom.
"Yes, Mr. Tom don't worry I will be able to buy all the things on my own." Harry said.
Tom wasn't sure at first but Harry said "Please Mr. Tom I will be safe after all I am the-boy-who-lived. What can happen to me?"
"Ok Harry if you say so and be careful." Tom said.
"I will be careful Mr. Tom." Harry said and went towards Diagon Alley. On entering Diagon Alley Harry went directly towards Gringgotts so that he could get his money and get information on the property he owned, the abilities he had, the magical artifacts and objects which needed to be collected, and most importantly the money he had in all his vaults.
On entering Gringgotts the first thing Harry did was asked a free goblin for Olden Haddock, the head goblin of Gringgotts London branch. Harry knew that Olden would surely have all the information on all the necessities he needed. The goblin that had to take permission from Olden had returned and had asked Harry to come with him who took Harry to an office room like chamber. The Goblin who had accompanied Harry went away when the Goblin who was seated told him to.
"Mr. Potter if I am not wrong?" said the Goblin.
"Yes I am Harry James Potter and you are Olden Haddock the head goblin here?" Harry said.
"Yes, Mr. Potter you are right I am Olden Haddock the head goblin of Gringgotts London Branch. What can I do for you Mr. Potter?" Olden Haddock asked.
"Well I wanted to know which properties I own, the artifacts and special items I have, the money in my vaults and the main powers I have." said Harry.
"You can get all the information you want but first we must test your blood." Olden took out a bowl and a knife from a drawer and told Harry to make a cut on his finger and drop his blood in the bowl. Harry did so and after he dropped some drops of blood the bowl glowed red then blue then green and finally yellow after which it disappeared and the place where the bowl was located was a parchment.
"This parchment has all the information written in it Mr. Potter, you may open and read it." Olden said.
Harry opened the parchment and read the contents of the parchment. He was shocked.
Sorry Folks for not updating earlier but I was unable to access my account and also because I wanted this chapter to be a bit long that I took so much time. Hope you liked it and keep giving your precious reviews as it helps e understand how my story is progressing. The next chapter we will see how Harry gets the founders four's abilities and powers (Yep Harry is the heir of the four founders) and also see the other information which was written in the parchment. One more thing should I make Dumbles good or bad? Please give me your thoughts in the reviews section.
