"spells/parseltongue" Chapter 3: A Trip to Diagon Alley Part 2
He bought his necessary materials and left the wand for the last. He bought his robes of high and expensive quality. Then he headed towards his last destination: The Ollivanders.
He entered the dark passage and sensed a magical presence behind him. He knew Ollivander always sneaked up behind his customers to shock them.
"Hello, Mr. Ollivander. It's quite rude to sneak up behind people's back" Harry said.
Ollivander came into view and chuckled.
"It's not every day that I encounter a wizard who can sense me behind them. Enough said, Mr. Potter. Let's get on with finding a suitable wand for you" He said walking over the large shelves and selecting some thin boxes from it.
"How did you know it was me?" Harry asked.
"I remember every wand I have sold, Mr. Potter. And I believe your father came over here some 20 years ago. And you look exactly like him. Yes, a mahogany wand, eleven inches. I still remember it clearly. Your mother on the other hand had a wand made of willow, 10 ¾ inches." He explained.
Harry stiffened. He did not like anyone comparing him with his parents. So he simply ignored Ollivander and waited for him to start the wand-selection process.
"Now, what is your wand hand, Mr. Potter?" Ollivander asked.
"I'm an ambidextrous" Harry shrugged.
Ollivander showed his surprise by lifting both of his eyebrows and then moving to the backwards to start the wand-selection process.
"Try this, 10 inches, beech and phoenix feather" He said handing Harry a wand.
The moment Harry touched the wand, Ollivander snatched it away.
"Take this, 12 inches, yew and a unicorn hair" Ollivander said handing Harry another wand. This too, was snatched away.
So they tried and tried many different wands over half an hour with Ollivander becoming increasingly excited.
"Tricky customer, eh? Don't worry we'll find a suitable wand for you soon" He said.
He came back and handed Harry another wand.
"Eleven and a half inches. Holly with a phoenix feather. Nice and Supple." Ollivander explained.
Harry touched the wand and several shelves exploded. Ollivander scratched his chin thoughtfully.
"Not quite suitable, yes?" He took the wand and walked away once more. He came back with a long black wand eying Harry thoughtfully.
"This wand has been here forever, Mr. Potter. Maybe it'll choose you? After all it's a wand that chooses the wizard." He said giving the wand to Harry.
The moment Harry touched the wand, warmth flowed through Harry and several sparks ignited from the wand. Harry raised his wand.
"Lumos!" Harry whispered. Ollivander clapped and walked over to stand beside Harry.
"Nox." Harry eyed the wand. It was perfect for him. He then turned towards Ollivander, his face one of curiosity.
"It is a very special wand, Mr. Potter. Take good care of it. It has been here since as far I can remember. Eleven Inches, wood from the tree of elder with hair of a thunderbird. Cost me a leg, that one." Ollivander explained.
Harry glanced at his wand again.
"Can I get a wand holster as well?" Harry asked.
Ollivander gave him a wand holster and Harry walked away from the store after giving Ollivander 20 Galleons.
Harry then walked to the animal shop to get a familiar. He felt a connection at the corner of the room and walked over there. He saw a beautiful snowy white owl in a cage looking at him. He took the cage and went to the counter.
"How much for this owl?" He asked
The owner eyed him carefully after taking a look at the owl.
"The owl is usually very restless and attacks anyone who tries to pick her. Anyways, it's for 12 Galleons." He said.
Harry paid the owner and took the owl out its cage, shrunk the cage and put it in his pocket and placed the owl on his shoulder. The owl nibbled his ear affectionately.
'So, what shall we name you?' Harry thought.
After thinking quite some bad names on which the owl swatted him on the face. Finally he settled upon Hedwig.
"I think I'll name you Hedwig. It suits you." Harry told Hedwig. Hedwig hooted and nibbled on his ear.
Harry walked back to Leaky Cauldron and had a expensive and delicious dinner there. Harry thought back on his day and thought that it had gone rather well. He had avoided interactions with anyone though he had seen many families. He wanted to stay away from the spotlight unless the right time came.
He knew he still had to come back one day to Gringotts to invest in new businesses from the money in his vaults. He also had yet to visit the rest of the vaults and take a look at the family artifacts of the vaults. He would send a letter to Gringotts to get a special appointment with the head of Gringotts to discuss the business investments with him and how and when he could get emancipated so that he could also control the seats at the Wizengamot. He would come one day so that he could get the books from the vaults as well as they contained a great deal of knowledge from the owners of the vault. The legendary and ancient spells of Gryffindor, Slytherin and Peverell. The dark and most sinister spells of the Blacks. And the special and unique spells of the Potters.
With these thoughts in mind, he went back to the fireplace and flooed back to the Potter Manor.
He awaited the day he would go to Hogwarts.
A/N: Here you go Chapter 4 and the second part of the Diagon Alley! I also need suggestions about which house you would prefer Harry to go in. I myself prefer Ravenclaw as it is a neutral house in the house politics. Gryffindor is mostly out as Harry prefers to think before he takes any rash action. Harry also hates his parents and his brother is going to land in Gryffindor. Harry will also need to be allies with some Slytherins so I think Ravenclaw would be the best for him. Anyways you can give your opinions as well.
To a reviewer named "ss" : He won't be adopted by the dark lord or any dark family. He will be on very good relations with some of the parents like the Greengrasses, the Davis' and some others and some of these parents will consider him as a child of their own.
I will finish year 1 and year 2 a bit quickly, only his friendships and allies will be shown, nothing major. But from 3rd year it will be in detail as Harry's brother will also join them in Hogwarts and Harry's parents will finally notice him.
