And finally my year started and it become pretty much hectic. considering I write to relieve my hectic ness , you may very well expect a weekly update from me. Upto now .

AN2:Thanks to Aleeta6 for volunteering to Beta me. I will keep your offer in mind, but I would like to know some details about it.

Disclaimer: I truly hope I am born in 1960's or 70's but sadly I was born in 90's And J.K Rowling wrote first Harry Potter novel before I even learn alphabets. I love her for giving me this wonderful world to grow up with and play with. So it makes it pretty sure that I don't own Harry Potter or its universe, J. owns it.

Chapter 4 - Diagon alley

Harry sighed as he made his way through Leaky cauldron along with Hagrid. The half giant, came to the cottage which Vernon made them stay and made a big fiasco, there by revealing to him he was a wizard. Harry chuckled to himself, he pretty much know from his 5th year that he was a wizard, but he was got to get revealed now. 'Irony of life' thought Harry. Any way, the big point was Dudley got a pig tail from Hagrid, which was a pensive memory to be showed for Tom, Harry grinned to himself and made his way into the restaurant along with Hagrid.

Fish market will be a small word when you speak of the situation of the restaurant, Harry felt the urge to close his ears from the noises but controlled it. He drifted from his thoughts when Hagrid called him by his name, and suddenly the fish market became silent. Harry rolled over his eyes, he knew he was popular, but the staring session made him feel like a show toy in a shopping mall. As Hagrid moved over, Harry followed him when he came across a wizard who from memories of wood harry he recognised as a person tried to see him, and wished him. The said wizard was filled with happiness and awe because Harry Potter remembered him. Harry sighed inside seeing the foolishness of the said wizards, they think a mere 1 year old boy had a power to drift away the most Powerful Dark wizard of all times. Harry shook his head and moved through, when he came across the Bar taker -Tom.

Harry felt the sadness wave over him when heard the name of his brother, he was missing his brother. It was over a week and in past 5 years they never left other for such a long time, he immediately felt surge to warp to founders room, but no he had a hell lot of things to do. He wished Tom politely and then he came across a weird looking stuttering person with a purple colour turban. As much as he found the person to be weird he felt a surge of pain through his scar and he blanked out.

Harry woke up and he saw a pair of black piercing eyes seeing into him, he immediately raised his occlumency shields and sat staright and looked around. He was in what was a dimly lit chamber with 2 wizards and a half giant preening over him. Harry looked at Hagrid and Hagrdi spoke

" 'Arry this eez Professor Snape, and this is Professor Quirrel"

Harry nodded to them solemnly 'Er.. Hello Professors, my name is Harry Potter. "

" Ha..rry.. po..tt..er.. Who.. do..es..n't.. know ..yo..ur..na..me..in..wi..zar...di...ng..wo..rl..d ?"

Harry looked blankly at the said person with turban, his head again begin to ache " I am sorry Professor, but I think I need to go."

"Sit there Potter, You need at least a bit of rest before you go. Or else the whole wizarding world will kill me for improperly administering you" grumbled Professor Snape.

Harry looked at the said Professor. he felt to himself a bit of Joy because the said Potions master was one whom he always liked as a potent potions master. But can he let know that he know him, no. Harry shook his head and answered " Sorry sir, but I got only one day out from my home to get my things I had to completed my shopping before the evening and reach my house. Or else my uncle won't accept"

Severus greeted his teeth " You may be a Pampered Prince for your boy but, not certainly here. You will listen as I say. And You have to take some rest before you leave"

Hagrid came to Severus and whispered some thing to him, Severus looked at Hagrid and nodded, Hagrid came to Harry and patted him " 'Arry, I have some confidential work to go, I will come to you later. In mean while Professor Snape will escort you to Gringotts"

Harry asked Hagrid "What is Gringotts?"

While Snape raised his eye brow, Hagrid explained "Its wizarding bank 'Arry. Now I have to go."

Harry shouted as Hagrid left "Hagrid, I don't have any money to get my books. Hagrid wait."

Harry raised his eye brow as Quirrel raised his eye brow and left following Hagrid, as Quirrel left he felt his head ache subsiding. Harry thought to himself that he must talk to Salazar about this and then looked at Professor Snape and mumbled " Professor! I don't have any money. Hagrid forgot to tell you sir."

Snape got the shock to himself "Boy, Who told you that rubbish?"

Harry snapped back " I don't have any money, my uncle doesn't want to pay me a bit. Hagrid said there's some fund , but he didn't take me there."

"And why doesn't your uncle want to spend money on you boy?" Snape hissed angrily. If Harry wasn't used to temper of Godric,Rowena and Salazar He should have flinched for sure, but no. Harry sighed to himself and thought to himself "Hey Sal, are you there?"

Founders also thought telepathic connection to both Tom and Harry so that they can contact them in emergency. Sal's voice replied back "Hey, where are you? I am at the entrance of Gringotts with Tom and Helga. Hagrid came here right now, but wait, You aren't thee with Hagrid."

Harry replied back "Sal, now please be patient and listen. I encountered a problem, I kinda fainted in Leaky cauldron, and then I was attended by Snape, who insisted I need some rest. Now he was speaking to me, and I have to answer him about er.. how my uncles treat me . What shall I say?"

There was a pause and then reply came "Harry, we are arriving there. Stay there."

Harry sighed to himself and looked at Snape who was looking at him curiously " Apparently Professor, I think you can't use your leglimecy on me, so don't try it. And Please wait till I say you what I want to say"

Snape glared at him " How dare you Boy? You think I have time for all your stupid non sense."

Harry smirked "Of course sir, because I don't have any non sense sir, I just want to get to tell you some truths."

" And what truths are that boy? " Snarled Snape.

"The truth was us, " Severus turned back, wand drawn and looked at two adults a witch and wizard and a young boy predominantly aged equal to Harry standing there. To surprise of Snape the boy rushed forward and hugged Harry " Harrison, I will kill you, if you scare me again"

Harry smirked "Of course Tommy boy, When was I normal say, except when I am at chambers."

Salazar stepped forward , nodding Tom stepped backward and now he hugged him " Hey, you scared the hell out of me, you know"

Harry returned the hug back smiling "Of course Sal, I know. But I can't help. Hagrid left me with Professor Snape and I doesn't know if the old coot gave them my vault key or not, so I played a bit and when he asked me questions I felt I need your permission."

Snape was looking all this with interest, the boy appeared to be self conscious of himself when he was with Hagrid. But the boy standing here now was a boy who had a confident build around him. And he was for sure that these two couple weren't Dursley couple and the boy, How come Harry was so much affectionate with the boy. Many questions and he looked at the witch standing on at the foot of bed looking fondly at Harry and The other kid. He moved to her, and cleared her throat.

She looked at him and smiled serenely " hello Snape"

Snape looked at her " You know my name? I am sorry for being rude, but I didn't recognise seeing you before."

She smiled " You might have seen us before, but sadly our forms are different. Any way, we have a lot to tell you. So I think I should call two more of my friends here. When Harry informed Sal about you, Sal was pretty worried that we apparated straight from gringotts to here. We didn't get any chance to inform others, If we have to tell you every thing thats happening, then we must move over from here to some other place. Perhaps, Gringotts may be a good place . Because we have our friends there and we can be confirmed about our privacy there than here. "

Snape looked at her, one may not expect her to be powerful but she had the aura surrounding her radiating her power, the power was even more than that of Voldemort or Dumble dorre. " Madam, I was handled with protection of boy, so I think it will be safe here."

" I think I don't need to tell a death eater that how much safe is a bloody restaurant in wizarding world. Perhaps, I need not tell it at all to one who eavesdropped at Hogs head and got details of a Prophecy, which changed many details. Severus"Salazar stated calmly.

Severus jaw dropped instantly "How do you know? Tell me who are you" Snape pointed his wand at them, but before he even think of an incantation his wand flew off from his hand to Helga's hand and she kept that in the pocket of her robes and snarled at Snape " We know everything about you Snape. And we know some other things which you doesn't know. Now if you want to protect the boy as you wish to, then move along with boy silently and follow the way he leads. Harry you know Room No. 1 right"

Harry nodded and he went to Snape "Professor, can you side apparate us both to the steps of Gringotts. I assume you don't have some time waste then, from there I can lead you. Now I hope you have my vault key. "

Snape nodded. Hagrid gave me. Harry nodded and he looked at Tom who nodded to him , while he apparated silently with Helga and Salazar, Harry caught Snapes hand and they both pulled through air

As they both dropped on at edge of Gringotts, Harry dusted out himself " I hate it."

Snape had a twitch at his lip " Now what Potter."

Harry rolled his eyes " Sir, I know you want to call me Harry. Feel free to call it sir, Please. Very few people call me Harry and see me as Harry. I want to be seen as Harry, not as some stupid Boy-Who-Lived. Thinking every thing that happened that night was because of the help of my mother. "

Snape looked at him " You remembered what happened that night?"

Harry nodded vaguely,"I do remember, but I am sure I will remember it fully when I leave the bank." Harry grinned to himself and entered " Shall we continue Professor"

Snape nodded and as they both entered in a goblin guard bowed to them, much to the shock of Snpae. Harrry bowed in response and answered some thing in Goblin language which Snape doesn't understand and Goblin smiled which may be the first time Snape ever shocked and replied in English "May you enemies shed their blood to your feet Master Harry" Harry rolled his eyes as he some thing to him in Goblin language and the Goblin chuckled replying some thing back to him; After that they both moved aside to a passage which was immediately right to the entrance and Harry smiled to Goblin and from there the Goblin guard left them. Harry looked at Snape who raised an eye brow " And from where did you learn the Goblin language."

Harry replied "My friends taught me Professor"

Snape "Any way, what made Goblin laugh I always taught it was a rare sight to a wizard."

Harry looked at Snape as if he was seeing a small kid and asked " Professor how many times did you come here"

Snape thought to himself " I think 3 times"

Harry now raised his eye brow " I thought you get your wage deposited in Gringotts, rather than handing it to you"

Snape nodded "Yes, but Head master always used to bring it to me."

Harry gritted his teeth at mention of head master and asked " And Professor did you get your inheritance test done"

Snape looked at Harry " Its reserved for Purebloods only Po.. Harry"

Harry shook his head " God, who told you that crap. Goblins didn't consider these blood things, for them what it matter is whether you are a wizard or witch"

"But I was said in Hogwarts..." Harry heard Snape mumbling to himself. " I am sorry Professor, but up to what I know of Goblins, thanks to my friends. What it matter to them is magic and any wizard have blood in their magic. so for them any wizard/witch whether they are pureblood or half blood or first generation. They are pretty much equal. Goblins respect our character, not our blood."

Snape nodded, "Thanks for advise Harry"

Harry looked at him in surprise, He never thought the concerned Potions master will be friendly with him, " Professor, I suppose you get your inheritance test done." Harry winked at Snape. Snape looked at him blank faced and Harry sighed " Upto where I know I heard that Snape was indeed an Ancient Noble house. " And I certainly don't think your father was a non-magical. He might be a squib.

Snape looked shocked at Harry who chuckled and said " Professor, I think it will be better if you use some calming draught on your self, you are going to have a very long day"

Snape cleared his throat and asked " By the way those three, where are they?"

Harry sighed " They directly apparated to chamber, As you don't have that permission, we have to go by walk."

Snape nodded, if he was going to learn about Lily's son, he shall have to be ready for some nasty surprises. Snape looked at Harry and asked " Harry, How is your life with Dursleys"

Harry looked at him " Professor, I though you already got some answer fixed in your brain"

Snape nodded 'Pretty much yes, but My expectations were proved to be wrong a lot, I want to know. "

Harry smiled to him " I never knew that, you can drop your mask to this extent professor. I thought after years of mask, the mask became itself permanent."

Snape chuckled " If that mask become permanent then I will regret myself living ." "Now move Potter" he grumbled getting back his mask and Harry laughed. " I will have that knut to be given to Tom, he was indeed right"

"Why do u need to give a knut to Bar taker Snape asked confused.

"Hell no, I means Tom, the other boy you saw there" Harry answered.

"Is he your best friend?"Snape asked

Harry chuckled and answered "No, He's my best brother. The Best Brother in world"

Snape shocked "You mean to say it is Thomas Potter, "

Harry nodded " Yes, pretty surprising isn't it Professor. Yes my brother is alive, and for sake of Merlin he is healthy"

Snape was still shocked when they reached doors of some room and Harry pressed his hand on some strange looking rune stones and the door clicked open. Harry looked at Snape and answered "This room is one of the first office chambers of Griingotts and it will be open for certain people only. Last month Sal keyed me to it."

As they both entered chill air touched them and they saw 4 wizards and witches sitting there along with Tom and another Goblin. Harry smiled and sat beside the wizard whom Snape earlier met. He wished Goblin and Goblin chuckled "hello Harry"

Harry smiled " Director, I think that's a good birthday gift to me."

Ragnok returned the compliment " Ofcourse Harry. But I think I will be giving you some thing else by end of the meeting. Any way I assume you brought us some guest here."

Harry looked sheepish " I am sorry Director, But I don't know why, I felt I can believe him"

Ragnok looked sceptical " I think he's marked."

Harry nodded, " But you know very well, what his intentions are."

Ragnok nodded and offered Snape to sit, "Harry we got the results as you requested. I got my healers to see it, but I think you can take a look at it."

Harry shook his head "No Director, I don't think so, Tom and Helga are the experts."

Snape looked in shock "Helga?"

Ragnok sighed "Professor Snape, or if I say Lord Prince-Snape. You have to wait for a moment before we answer your questions, Its found that you were placed with several compulsion and memory charms also some personality changing charms. How ever they were all broken one hour ago, when you met Lady Hufflepuff present there. "

Snape gritted " But who will place charms on me? And I thank you Lady Huffle puff, If I think who you are was right then please tell me one thing that you didn't time travel into future."

Ric laughed and said "No Professor, thats a Slytherin was of thinking but no, we are very much from present not from to Hogwarts"

Salazar intervened " Hey Ric, please don't fear him man. Yes Professor, we are Founders of Hogwarts, and yes, we are not from past nor we are any time meddlers. We are very much from present" Snape tried to speak some thing " No, we are not immortal. We are dead, But Lady Hogwarts being sentient, made us stay here with corporeal forms by her power of magic. We have to stay here to protect her, until she was was due to a binding we made with the castle when we poured our magic into it, during its establishment"

Snape felt dumbfounded " If you are still present then why does nt no one gets to see you. And where do you live"

Rowena answered "Of course we live in our castle, where else shall we live. You people didn't found us, because we isolated ourselves from others. Thousands of years, living our selves seeing every other person you attached dying at one point or other, made us do that" Rowena sighed shaking of her thoughts,"Any way we are here to get the inheritance test done for Harry and to get his magical bindings removed. But now that there's some thing wrong with you, we have to get your inheritance test done and get your bindings also removed, if what we doubt is correct"

Salazar looked at Tom and Harry and they both nodded, they grinned to Ragnok and left with him to other chamber, while Founders filled in with Snape about what happened to Harry and how he was ill treated by muggles and then how he was brought to Founders chambers and grow up along with Tom and then how he took all the pain from his dopple ganger. Snape was astounded listening it... "He did that? He took pain from the other"

Helga sighed "Yes, he not only took the physical pain, but also took all the memories the mental torture and all. For a moment we all feared if he will be broken as he was when he came to us first, but thank god, he doesn't. "

Salazar spoke " He says that he won't be any thing different from people he will be fighting, if he sit and eat popcorn when other was struggling because of him"

Snape sat there thoughtful and shook his head after some time " I always thought he will be a pampered price boasting on his fame, when he arrives school. That it self made me feel sick and I indeed decided to be strict to him. How foolish I was? Thanks he decided to answer me today or else I would ave caused him more pain than he already endured."

Rowena spoke " Hogwarts always inform us of your way of teaching, not only you every teacher. We always have a thorough knowledge of how teachers were, and we came to know about you that you show some favouritism and do consider children as Dunder heads. I can't understand why you do that. "

Snape sighed " I can't lie to you. From my schooling times I observed a thing, Slytherins were highly biased , I am sorry Lord Slytherin, but because of your actions and time time happenings there was a worst imprint on house of Slytherin. And many times if there was a problem between a slytherin and other group the punishment will be to a Slytherin, and No mention the number of points taken off from Slytherin by other teachers. This all made me a bit aversed for other houses. And they never even consider we slytherins are also humans like them. That was main reason for aversion for other houses , which make my favouritism. " "And next coming to my ways to slytherins , what do you expect from me, most of them are children of death eaters , they may be in hiatus because of absence of their master, but they are death eaters and I can't get my head off , or some worse punishment by punishing slytherins."

Surprising Snape its Slytherin who spoke " I agree with some points of yours Snape. But I don't think you need to show a favouritism. May be others are biased to our House, but what different do you make it from others if you behave like them. Thanks to historians we and our house have enough of dung on to change the view of our house by others if You can. Its not what Slytherin house is supposed to be, try to change your students not in class, but in other times after class."

Severus was albeit surprised by words of Salazar , history always projected the Lord of Snakes as a ruthless, pureblood bigot. But the person before him was no where like that. He was indeed more friendly, Snape was shooed off from his thoughts when Salazar spoke " Lolz... I am a pureblood bigot. Do you know what, we founders four of us are First generations. Our parents are non magical. And we indeed think every wizard or witch as a pure blood. "

To say Severus was shocked will be less, what ever he learned about them from his childhood all of it was said to be wrong. If ever what they said him was truth and he was sure it was truth , considering Goblins support to them then He will help them, no matter what. He will help his best and first friends children. " Now what do you want me to do?"

Godric spoke surprised by Severus words "Nothing. We just said this to you, because Harry thought he can believe you. We very well know that we aren't the only world of the two boys. But those two indeed unlocked our affection. We love them as our children. We want to be with them atleast as a small part of their life, for that we need to mingle with their world, which includes people they believe. That includes you and some others. Thats why we said this all to you"

Severus felt really touched they gave up their secret only because the two kids asked them, they love the kids. And want to stay with them, they didn't even consider the fact that he will leak the information to others, but they trusted him. He was never wanted by any one, which made him lock that part of him which craves some affection and attention. But if these people trust him now, he will do any thing for them, no matter what.

Salazar spoke " Severus, we do trust you, but that wasn't a blind trust. We know about the lives of every professor that stay in castle , we know about you. And we indeed thought if any person that can deserve our trust is a person who kept his life in danger to help his friend. Because we value friend ship a lot. But now a thing I want to ask you is, do you know that you are the honorary God father of both Harry and Tom?"

"What? I.. I didn't know it"

Helga spoke " Last year we got a copy of final will of Potters, because the actual will was locked away by Old coot. According to the will you are asked to be a honorary god father of Harry and Tom, while Sirius and Remus were their official God fathers. And also According to the will all research of Lily on Potions is recorded in Journals which will be passed to you and also they gave you 100,000,000 Galleons and their cottage in Hogsmede to you. And also James apologised you for all the pranks he done on you. And asked you to take care of the kids during the Full Moon days. But the will was never read because it was blocked by Dumbledorre"

Snape processed the information and spoke " Is there any mentioning about who their secret keeper was?"

Founders was surprised by this question " Its Sirius Black isn't it?."

Snape said rather harshly " Nope, Sirius will never betray them. And I don't think Sirius will agree to do it, though he may appear foolish, he had most tactic brain and he will suggest some other , because every one will look at him "

Founders looked impressed " Yes you're right , Its not Sirius black, its Peter Pettigrew. And if we what doubt is right, that stupid wasn't dead, he was some where. "

Snape looked resigned "Yes, that filth, he was no where loyal. I always have my doubts on him, but how can he be alive? "

Godric spoke "He was an animagus, a rat. And James ,Sirius too. They did it to help Remus during his Lunar cycle"

" That makes sense, Me and Remus we both didn't believe Sirius was one. We know about him and James, they both are more of brothers, we even wondered some times why Sirius was born in Black family when he was a through and through Potter, but later when we are on his receiving wrath during times of war we understood he was a Black. He was the sneakiest person ever seen by us. And me, Remus tried to speak to Albus about Sirius but he didn't count us. We are helpless, because we don't have power nor money and Remus was a were wolf while I was a death eater. And we can't go against him"

Helga frowned as she spoke " Severus, who said you don't have power, considering you are heir and head of Two Ancient Noble families. Doesn't any one said you that Snape was a Pureblood Ancient family lost about 500 years ago. I remember your ancestor who worked as a head master here for 75 years"

A thud sound was heard and Snape collapsed.

It was found on Harry that he had a good number of magical bindings, not to mention a Hocrux shocking every one and all the bindings were removed along with Hocrux and now that both Harry and Tom had their bindings removed ,they both had their affinities checked and it came to know that Harry had affinity for wandless magic,silent magic,charms,defense,Potions and Arrithmacy, along with Parsel tongue, Ancient magic and Mindcraft. While Tom had affinity to Transfiguration, charms,Potions,Ancient runes, Parcel magic, Blood magic and Healing Magic. Tom had less bindings compared to Harry , so Tom knew he had affinity to Healing magic. Founders were surprised because, they never found people with this much magic power after them selves and their raw power which was still in developing stage was on par with Founders. Godric muttered to himself ' No wonder Dumble dorre tried to control these both'
When they got their inheritance tests done, Harry was surprised as it mentioned that he was Heir of Slytherin through magic,conquest and blood. And he even was Heir of Black. Tom was surprised when he learned he was a Heir of Gryffindor by magic and also Hufflepuff by magic and blood, not to mention Gaunts and Peverells. Tom and Harry both were Heir of Peverells , and this made them surprised considering they are related. Now that made them both Heirs of Gryffindor and Slytherin, While Harry was a Heir to Ravenclaw by magic, Tom was a Heir to Hufflepuff by Magic. Not to mention their original lines of Potter and Evans. According to will They were asked that Harry will take seat of Potter while Tom will take seat of Evans amongst them selves. They both knew they were powerful but also very well knew that they can't get it to their head considering the purpose of their life.

According to the will as all the options where they both should be placed are not followed, they can be emanicipated if they want immediately, but Harry and Tom decided its not time and they declined it. But they don't want their votes to be utilised by Old coot, so they asked Ragnok to get some proxies for their votes or stall their votes until the time they take over their seats and Ragnok agreed with second option.

Severus got his inheritance test done and he was found to be Lord of both Snape and Prince families. He accepted his inheritance and became the head of both houses. He became very much angry when all the memories which he was blocked off came to his mind and also, when the complsions are removed from him. He wanted to go right then and kill Dumbledorre but decided against it. He asked Goblins to be discrete about his Lord ship , And he appointed one of the Goblins Bragtooth as his Proxy cancelling Dumbledorre as his appointed Griphook as his accounts manager as he was already Black-Potters and Evans accounts manager. They decided that they will be discreet about Severus knowing his inheritance as Severus was the traditional Patriarch name of Snape family.

After all this fiasco, they all gathered again and they all decided that Snape will go in his original way, and he will ill treat Harry infront of class, but he will work behind to get the change in House of Slytherin and also he will help Dumbledore and not let him know of any changes occuring here. Snape suggested about Mc Gonagal being trust worthy and Tom who had an admiration to the Transfiguration Professor agreed immediately, and they decided they will do it after September 1st.

After having their final decisions, they parted their ways with Harry and Snape going to Diagon alley , with Snape having his mask back and Tom going along with a disguised Salazar and Helga

Severus was still sceptical about Harry, not that he doubted Harry or hated him, but doesn't know any thing about the boy. But he was standing there with him, He silently prayed to unknown forces that he shouldn't be seen together with the Boy by other death eaters . He looked at Harry and asked " I guess you came here already"

Harry nodded "Yes Professor, Me and Tom used to come here in disguises, this is the first time I came here as my self. Any way I know your time is precious. Thanks to the time alterner in Gringotts chamber, or else we would have taken long time. Now we are in just for half an hour. So where will we go Professor"

Snape thought " We will go to Olivanders first"

Harry thought for a minute and shook his head "No Professor, we will move to other and last come for wand. Some thing tells me I will take long time there."

Snape sighed and they first moved to Madam Malkins, there he got 4 sets of school robes and 2 sets of dress robes for formal occasions. At first Harry was apprehensive to use money, but later when Snape explained him that the vault he saw was just a trust vault and he had another main Potter vault, Harry agreed to spend his money freely. Later they visited Flourish and Botts to get the books in curriculum and on suggestion of Snape Harry took some more books. Harry didn't object any where because , he never came across the fields of wanded magic in his training with Founders, there fore he doesn't know any thing about the way things worked , so he calmly took those books Snape mentioned. He didn't reveal about his training and expertise in wandless training because of what Founders said, that wandless magic is frowned upon . He didn't want to scare away Potions master. later they went to Apothecary and there he took 2 sets of Potions Ingredients on suggestion of Snape and got himself some extra ingredients for his research and as they are basic ingredients he wasn't questioned. But Snap however raised his eyebrow at him and Harry promised to explain him later. After that they got a 3 compartment trunk which Harry keyed to himself and Tom, and a charmed bag to be bottom less and feather weighed.

Finally they went to Olivanders where Harry tried upon 58 wands before he got his Holly-phoenix wand. Olivander was amused and curious telling its relation with Voldemort wand and mentioned that he made only three wands with that core and the third wand was still in shop and he was waiting to see its wizard. Harry felt to himself that it might be Tom, however shrugged the feeling and getting himself a wand holster moved out from store.

They decided to go to Leaky cauldron for their lunch and wait for Hagrid there, As they left to leaky cauldron they entered the room in which they were previously and for the surprise of Snape Harry places some charms wandlessly and turned to Snape to speak. "Sorry Professor, I am a bit paranoid, so placed some Silencing spells and privacy, notice-me-not charms on the room."

"And you did it with out wand Potter?"

Harry shrugged " Professor, Founders always value privacy so they taught it to us, although it took me and Tom to learn 6 months to do. "

Snape shrugged it and asked "You took extra ingredients, May I know why?"

" Its just I thought I can practice brewing some potions as there is still a month before I reach Hogwarts"

Snape nodded " Thats indeed a good idea, You can practice basic potions in your book. Preparing before is not a wrong. So now that we both should stay here till Hagrid arrive I want to know which house do you want to go."

Harry looked sheepish " er.. Slytherin Professor. I wish to go to Slytherin, but as long as I am with my brother I am ok with any house"

Snape chuckled to himseld at ironity " Potter do you know which type of people are fit for Slytherin"

Harry shrugged "Ambitious,Cunning and Loyalty are most appreciated by Sal"

Snape was surprised by listening the word Loyalty, but he can't place them wrong because they are the words coming from a charge of Founders if he was right to some extent a charge who was favourite of Lord Slytherin himself, but the reality was a bit different. He sighed as he started to explain to Harry " Harry, do you know how Slytherin house is viewed as and how wizarding Britain consider Salazar Slytherin to be"

Harry looked at Snape " Professor I don't know what is the view on house of Slytherin, but what I know is wizarding world thinks Salazar to be a Dark wizard, yes thats true Sal practice Dark arts, but he was not evil. A dark wizard doesn't mean he was evil, and magic was very much intentional. There's nothing dark or light in it. And Sal can perform Light magic with as affinity as Dark magic. He was a grey wizard. And he was a very sensitive human. It really wrong to think of him like that. "

Severus noted how much Harry was affectionate to Lord Slytherin. "Harry, but the wizarding world is probably mistaken, not only about Salazar, but also the house of Slytherin. I mean every one thinks that a person who goes into slytherin is a Dark Wizard and is evil. Though it pains me to say, but its what the opinion of Wizarding Britain"

Harry nodded sombrely " I know..."

They stopped with triggering of an alarm Harry placed on door and watched as Hagrid came in. "Right there 'Arry, 'Ow are you feelin' ."

"I am fine Hagrid. Professor Snape took me to Gringotts, and then to shops around Diagon alley" Harry answered as an exciting grunted .

Hagrid smiled " 'Arry, you can take a familiar to school, and wish to give you a present for your birthday. 'Ere you go" Hagrid presented a cage with a Snowy white owl in it.
