3 YEARS LATER - Harry's Trunk, (Fifth Compartment)

Harry was very excited as this was the year he would be getting his Hogwarts letter, he had studied so much from his books and learned half of all the spells in the entire Library Compartment with the rest looked over as Harry had been able to learn some things from the last level of books in the Library section of the trunk.

Harry had to guess he was up to fourth year in knowledge and magic of Hogwarts but with exceptions to some of the other extracurricular books he had found in the third level of the Library section like one book about mind protection and mind reading which was interesting as it had some things to do with his meditation exercises and books but the mind reading part was actually a spell used to read a person's mind unless they could defend against it with mind protection known as 'Occlumency' whereas the mind reading spell for it was known as 'Legilimency' and the actual spell for it was 'Legilimens'.

Harry had found from the Journal/Diary's that the mind books both belonged to his parents as his father having been trained to be an Auror during the war after his school years, had picked it as it was an optional choice to learn when training to become an Auror, so his father had picked it as a safety precaution during the war along with getting the best books for them then once he had learned all he could.

He had then taught his wife (Harry's mother) about the Mind Arts of Protection (another name for them) which in turn made his mother find an old book about Legilimency out of curiosity and find out more from the spell so that she could have a better understanding on what she wished to protect her mind from.

The books on Mind Protection/Occlumency each had different methods on what to do and how to protect the person's mind as some people chose to just hide a person's mind from mind reading spells behind a magical shield that was to stay up most of the time until it became second nature to have it up and able to protect the person's mind, this method is a useful one but can be distracting and draining on the persons magic when learning it as it uses up a lot of magic to keep stable and strong.

The other method that was most used was having a sort of mindscape inside the person's mind and have the memories and thoughts of the person hidden inside the mindscape created which was mostly something familiar and safe to the person like a castle or a fort of some kind to symbolise safety and protection which if a person did use the mind reading spell then they would have to deal with the mindscape's traps and tricks that the person had set to stop intruders from getting what they wanted and forcing them to either leave the person's mind or be stuck in a mess of traps until they gave up willingly and left the person's mind from exhaustion of doing the spell or loss of patience.

Harry had found a way of doing the two of the methods together but it took himself and his two other alien forms Cerebro and Jellshock to solve the problem of making sure that Harry could keep both defences and not be so tired from keeping them both up which was creating with his own magic a sort of avatar controller from his subconscious which was tricky doing so but worked out well in the end.

The mind avatar would work by using a very tiny fraction of Harry's power and amplifying it with his minds intelligence and activity of the brain so that the avatar could work on keeping the outer mind shield secure and looking out inside the mindscape using a sort of control room.

Harry had picked one of his favourite TV shows as his inspiration for the mind scape, Doctor Who as he remembered watching old re-run episodes on TV about the Doctor and the man's TARDIS along with all the amazing but deadly foes the man had faced and defeated.

Harry used the Tardis as his mind-scape but from the movie version with the 7th & 8th Doctor's appearance in it as the main console in the centre was what controlled and kept safe the mindscape and mind shields, the rooms inside his own mind-made TARDIS were guarded by some of the enemies like the Dalek's as the main security force and the Sontarans as a secondary force of security who both patrolled the rooms and corridors or the maze like mindscape which Harry had made his avatar change slightly to make the intruder wander the halls endlessly until they gave up or came into contact with a guard.

A last resort method inside the mindscape was an emergency protocol that the avatar could use if the intruder was becoming more dangerous and closer to finding what they wanted which would use a lot of power from both the mindscape and Harry to painfully and forcefully eject the person from the mind which would set off a total or 5 barriers surrounding the mind with each one more powerful than the last which would make it really difficult to re-enter the person's mind unless they wanted to be shoved out again.

Harry was sure that his defences would hold but he wanted to be sure as he could never be too careful, Harry had with plenty of training found a way of channelling his magic through his body to create a very thin but strong layer of magical shielding which would be used to protect his body from small magic's like weak Curses or Jinxes or even stop tracking or compulsion charms as he wanted to be safe when in a fight as he would not put it past an attacker to be sneaky and throw one of those types of spells during a duel making him falter and be an easy target when under the spells.

It would not be too draining for him as Harry had trained his body to use the body-shield instinctively when his body perceived a threat or was in contact of opposing magic that would harm or threaten him so that he would not need to use it all the time and end up draining his power and use of Magic.

Harry was really looking forward for his letter arriving as his 11th birthday was in a few days and from this his letter should arrive when he reaches 11, Harry planned to wait for the owl with the letter for him and from that he would take a bus into London then reach the pub called 'The Leaky Cauldron' and once he reached the gateway to 'Diagon Alley' which he knew was the main shopping are for all of Magical Britain besides a few other small places here and there scattered around the UK and Ireland from what his books and parents Journal/Diary's told him.

Harry hoped that he would get his letter soon as he was too excited to wait and see what it would be like for him when he gets the letter.


A FEW DAYS LATER – Harry's Birthday, July 31st

Harry had made sure to wake up early and wait outside in the front garden on a nearby garden bench as he waited for the owl to arrive, the last few days for him where stressful but Harry had dealt with it by using his mental and calming exercises to lessen his jitteriness.

Harry was snapped out of his thoughts by a hooting sound as he looked up and saw that a brown and white barn owl was flying towards him with, to his excitement and joy, a letter held in its claws by a piece of string.

The owl landed on the arm rest of the bench and held out its leg for him to take the letter which he did while stroking the owl's feathers and wings which it rumbled and hooted in pleasure at the treatment it was getting from Harry. He removed the letter from its string and looked at its address which said:

Mr. H. Potter

The Garden Bench, 4 Privet Drive

Little Whinging

Surrey

Harry knew that the letter was Charmed to change its address so that it would show the exact location of where the receiver was from his mothers Diary as she had studied and wanted to know how it was possible which was by having the ink on the envelope charmed to change and help the owl direct it to the person it was to be sent to.

Harry turned the letter over but when he removed his hand from stroking the owl it made a hoot of disappointment from not being petted anymore which Harry began doing so again after he opened the letter noting the wax stamped seal of Hogwarts with its symbol of the House Animals of the Founders but below it had a small sentence in Latin which Harry translated as 'Never tickle a sleeping dragon' snorting slightly at it he opened the letter and read the first part of it which showed:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

(Order of Merlin - First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, Supreme Mugwump - International Confederation of Wizards)

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall,

Deputy Headmistress

Harry knew what most of the titles of the achievements owned by the Headmaster as the Order of Merlin was an award given by the British Government or Ministry of Magical Britain for great services to the government and the classes of awards were separated by the achievement celebrated by the award, the Grand Sorcerer was confusing though as he had little information on them but he guessed that was his award and status for defeating Grindelwald.

The Wizengamot was like Parliament for Magical Britain and is where most laws and rules are created and the Chief Warlock was the person who oversaw the rules and was like a judge who could call a law or decree to vote and be the one to decide the outcome of it all from the results.

The International Confederation of Wizards was like the Magical version of the United Nations and Supreme Mugwump was the head of the entire confederation, Harry took a look at the enclosed list which said:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Uniform

First-year students will require:

1. Three sets of plain work robes (black)

2. One plain pointed hat (black) for day wear

3. One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar)

4. One winter cloak (black, silver fastenings)

Please note that all pupils' clothes should carry name tags

Harry nodded at the clothing list but decided to get more than that as he may need extra for when accidents occur or clothing getting worn out, Harry continued reading the list:

Set Books

All students should each have a copy of the following:

The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1) by Miranda Goshawk

A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot

Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling

A Beginners' Guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch

One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore

Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander

The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection by Quentin Trimble

Harry recognised some of the books from the list as he had those ones in his trunk from his parents school days but were edited by them in places at different parts of the books contents, like tips added on or references on better books that explains a subject or item in more detail that had been selected from one of the books from the list that he had just read.

The books he already had were the 'Standard Book of Spells' series as he had the entire grade's of them from 1-7, 'History of Magic' he already had with added on tips and corrections in some places, the Herb's and Fungi book Harry already had but it also contained added on references by his parents to other helpful books that would explain a magical plant or similar item in more detail and how it would be used in Potions along with references to books that would help in potions and the last book by Newt Scamander Harry already had which had not a lot of editing besides references written inside by his father about some books about particular creatures of a Magical Nature that had more detail about them.

The others he did not have so he guessed that they were recent creations and approved of by the school as Harry had some of the older books used by his parents instead of the new ones on the current school list.

Harry continued reading the rest of the list as it said:

Other Equipment

1 wand

1 cauldron (pewter, standard size 2)

1 set of glass or crystal phials

1 telescope

1 set brass scales

Students may also bring an Owl OR a Cat OR a Toad

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST-YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS

The other equipment Harry needed most restocking was the potions cauldron, telescope and scales as they were too old and beat up to use sadly but he still kept them as they were his parents things. The phials he already had both sets of as he had found out that his mother had used magic to change them so that they could clean themselves of remains from earlier potions and be unbreakable so that they would not damage or spill the phial or potion if it fell to the floor but she had used the crystal ones for her own personal potions or special potions needed for those kinds of phials but the glass ones she used mostly for class lessons or inspections from her old potions Teacher/Professor Horace Slughorn who was a great Potions Master/Maker/Brewer.

The bit about the animal was a bit of a difficult challenge for Harry to decide on as his father had gotten himself a personal owl from the man's parents as a gift for getting into Hogwarts but his mother had not gotten an animal until her fourth year which was a male ginger tabby cat named Boots which Harry had chuckled at as he remembered the old fairy tale about Puss in Boots which he had read when he was younger in the school library.

Harry decided to make his pick when he went to buy an animal to keep but he was also very excited about the wand as he would finally get a wand that worked properly for him, the wands of his parents were great for him to use but they did not feel right as it was sometimes difficult for him in controlling either of them as he was not their original owner and could not use them to their full capacity.

The broom bit was a bit disappointing until he thought with a mischievous smirk about how the wording of the sentence was as he remembered about his dad's old broom, the Nimbus 1700 which was a very fast broom even though it was an older model than today's probably, as the rule said that students could not use brooms owned by themselves but it did not say anything about brooms belonging to someone else being used by the student as the broom he had belonged to his father and would not be breaking the rules.

Harry saw that a ticket was inside the envelope also which Harry could see was for the Hogwarts Express so he placed everything back inside the envelop and placed it in his pocket.

He then turned his head to the dozing owl which had fallen asleep due to his petting and gently woke it up as he did not want to get pecked by the owl for annoying him. The owl woke up shaking its feathers and looking at Harry who said "I'll give you a reply letter in a moment but could you fly up to my window so that I can give you the letter" Harry knew that the owls and some birds of the magical world where trained and magically bred to understand instructions as it made it easier for deliveries so he knew that the owl could understand him which it bobbed its head hooting as it took off in flight after a last stroke of its feathers from Harry.

Harry stood up from the garden bench and headed to his room ignoring his relatives in the dining room having breakfast as Harry had an early breakfast before he went outside to wait for his letter, he arrived at his room seeing the owl waiting by the windowsill outside so he opened the window as the owl flew inside and landed perching itself on Harry's work desk where Harry did his regular homework and studies of Magical subjects.

Harry took out some parchment and wrote down on it:

Dear Deputy Headmistress McGonagall,

I would be delighted to accept your invitation to join your school and hope to attend your school on the 1st of September.

Yours Sincerely,

Harry James Potter

Harry closed up the finished letter and placed it inside an envelope, He sealed it with a green wax stamp designed by himself which was the symbol of the Omnitrix – an hourglass symbol and to Harry's knowledge the Galactic Symbol of Peace from his PAD. Harry had gotten the wax stamp kit made from a shop in London that sold those kinds of things which had a set of wax sticks of different colours.

The colours that Harry liked the most from the set were a deep dark blue coloured wax stick and an emerald green coloured wax stick for him to use with the stamp after it melted and cooled down slightly after it was dripped onto the page's opening and be pressed on by the sealing stamp.

Harry waited until the wax cooled down and then handed the letter to the owl tying it to its string saying "Take this back to the deputy headmistress for the reply," the owl hooted and once it had the letter it took off in flight but not before being petted once more by Harry which once it was petted again it was soon flying out of the window and in the distance to deliver the reply.

Harry knew that he had a while until he got his reply so he made sure to re-pack his trunk and close it, then shrink it using the method that would not have him detected by the Ministry as he knew that the ministry placed magical spell sensors in different areas around the UK for those Witch's or Wizards of underage so that it would be easier to help track the magic done by said underage Witch or Wizard along with the tracking charms and spells placed on the wand of the child which worked together with the sensors as the Ministry had listed documents of the Witches or Wizards that were underage in the different areas where sensors have been placed.

It helped pick out those who were breaking the underage magic rule and endangering the Statute of Secrecy by narrowing down the list until the real suspect was then warned at first for the first offence but would need to go to the ministry on the second charge so that they could defend their case and explain why they used magic and not end up losing their wand and having it snapped therefore stopping the Witch or Wizard from ever doing magic again until they got a new one and if they did so with a new wand afterwards then they would be banished from the Magical World and have their magic cut off from their body, essentially killing them or turning them into a Muggle or Squib and have their mind wiped of the memory of all things about the Magical World.

Harry dearly hoped that this would not happen to him as he felt that he could find a real home in the Magical World. Harry had waited for the reply for a couple of hours and soon he had gotten it as he spotted the same owl from before with a different letter tied to it as he could tell as the wax stamped symbol was of Hogwarts again and the same as his acceptance letter.

The owl flew back to its earlier perch from before and lifted its leg out for Harry to take the letter which he did after petting/stroking the owl again as it hooted happily at being petted again, Harry opened the letter and saw that he was given a reply from the Deputy Headmistress who simply wrote about how glad that she was being given such a quick reply and awaited seeing him attending the school along with giving him directions to Platform 9¾ which was the place where the Hogwarts Express was to travel from to get to the school.

Harry already knew how to get there as he remembered reading of it from his parents Journal/Diary's of their time travelling to that particular platform with their friends and parents but he remembered reading about how his Aunt Petunia had treated his mother at the platform when they where there, with Harry's mother being called a 'Freak' by her sister which their parents did not notice as they were looking at the train and everything magical around them as they ignored their daughters in favour of examining the wonder of something they had never seen before.

Harry remembered how his father (Prongs) had written how he met his best friends Sirius Black (Padfoot), Remus Lupin (Moony) and Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) on the train, the last person made Harry really angry as he knew that Pettigrew was the secret keeper for the Fidelius Charm and the only person to keep Harry and his parents from Voldemort.

Harry hoped that he could capture Pettigrew, if he was still alive which was a possibility because if he was caught then that meant Sirius would have been free and able to take care of Harry who would not end up living with the Dursley's any longer. Harry wanted to find a way to free Sirius as Harry could guess that some corrupt politician in the Ministry was keeping Sirius stuck in Azkaban and with no trial which was breaking serious laws but was probably covered up in the aftermath of the war.

Harry needed to find foolproof evidence and information on how to make sure that Sirius was freed but Harry had a feeling that it would take a lot of time, Harry snapped out of his thoughts by the owl hooting to him as it was pecking at the window to be let out as Harry had shut it when the owl had arrived.

Harry walked up and opened the window for the owl to leave which it did after a moment hooting back at him as it flew away probably saying a sort of goodbye to him which Harry smiled at as he saw the owl's form disappear into the distance.


City of London - Later on in the day

Harry had arrived in London a couple of minutes ago by bus as he made his way to the Magical Pub which he spotted hidden by Magic between a music and bookstore, Harry went up to the door of the pub and entered.

Harry had expected the pub to be not so clean-looking at first as having the appearance of an old Victorian styled pub cemented that theory.

He saw the Barman as Harry entered who came by the name of Tom from the information of his parents books, Harry did not want to cause trouble or make a scene by his appearance so Harry had kept his head down and headed out to the entrance of Diagon Alley following a small family of three and staying behind them.

The family then had already opened the entrance to it using the brick wall entrance (A/N: I really do not have to explain this as you can probably guess what it is yourself and what is/how it's done) so that he would not be noticed by the other customers of the pub.

Harry saw the family of three consisted of two parents and a girl who looked to be about Harry's age who had pale skin, black long curly hair and hazel brown eyes.

The girl's parents looked to be slightly different to each other as the father had a Balbo styled beard (A/N: Look it up online) and dark golden brown short hair with tan skin along with dark green eyes but he had a wizard styled outfit that looked like a muggle suit but it had a cloak behind it and subtle differences in style.

The mother had on a completely normal look as she had a similar dark coloured hair to her daughter but light brown eyes and paler skin than her husband but she wore a summer dress and slight make-up, Harry could guess that the father was a wizard and the mother was either a non magical person or a Muggleborn therefore making the girl a half-blood like him.

Harry watched as the family made their way through the alley and looking at the sights, mostly the mother and daughter since the father was merely keeping an eye on his family from danger or trouble.

Harry saw them head up to the bank which Harry knew to be Gringotts bank, this bank from Harry's studies was ran by Goblin's and he knew from his father's Journal's that they shouldn't be messed with as they are vicious when threatened or offended.

Harry had read/learned from his father's journals that his family, the Potter's were a very Ancient and Noble family/House which in the Magical World of Britain and other countries of Europe was the equivalent of the ruling social class, very much like medieval England and Britain was in the non magical world.

The title of Head of that Magical Family gave the person a multitude of advantages like a voting seat on the Wizengamot, but that was only achieved or given until the person was old enough to handle the responsibilities of being the Head of the Family.

Such as the Wizengamot Seat along with being able to hold mass amounts of wealth and power among the people of Magical Britain like that person can issue challenges to other families or people if that person or group has offended or attacked that person like a duel of magic or power.

Harry knew that nearly all the people of these families held their wealth and family heirlooms in secure vaults, guarded by the Goblins and security of Gringotts.

Their wealth was also managed between the Head of the Family and the Goblin assigned as the manager of that families account who would and could oversee the profits and wealth of the families items and money along with its assigned security until the time when the next heir and Head of the Family could deal with such tasks.

The status of these Families were each separated by what type of Ruling class, there was the Most Ancient and Most Noble Families/Houses which are much like the Muggle Royal Family of Great Britain.

This rank of Family were required to have vast amounts of wealth and/or power because the Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses have to have been around for at least 10,000 years or more.

But there were the smaller and lower ranked classes of the Magical Ruling caste whose Families/Houses have to have existed for a maximum of 1000 (Noble) or 3000 (Ancient) years for them to become either Ancient or Noble along with having substantial amounts of power and wealth to become Ancient and Noble which was to have been around for at least 4000-5000 years.

Harry knew that he would need to take the position of Heir of his Family as he was not old enough to be Head of the Family as he needed to be 15 or 17 years of age depending on the situation and laws of this world.

Harry also knew that he would need to wear his Family Ring as a sign of him being the Heir of his Family which was kept safe by the goblins until he wished to wear it.

Most families had their children (Male or Female depending on whether the family was ruled Patriarchal or Matriarchal) become heirs when they reached 11 or 12 years of age but that was decided by the Head of the Family.

The Heir status, although not as beneficial as Head of the Family, still had some benefits like partial independence meaning that the Heir was not to be controlled by other people or follow the orders of those who wish to use the Heir for nefarious or misguided uses and could take legal action to defend themselves in their own manner of choosing.

They could also defend themselves from attacks by other people and not be accused or persecuted by others as only the Head of the Family had that power to punish the Heir and another benefit was that they could choose who they wished to place under the Family's protection like a friend or someone who they are in a relationship with.

If that person was attacked while under that Families protection then the Family could use their own power to respond in kind to the attack be it Magical,Political or Legal but that person must first swear loyalty and their life to the family that they are being protected under.

Harry shook off his thoughts as he made his way to the bank's entrance while seeing the warning poem above the entrance which said:

"Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed,

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn.

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there."

Harry knew that was only a taste of what the Goblin's could do to a person who tried to steal from them as the Goblin's hated thieves who stole from them, Harry looked around the inside of the entrance hall of the bank as he saw different Goblin's doing many jobs from dealing with customers.

To measuring and weighing jewels or precious metals for value to assigning teams of goblins and human Curse Breakers to deal with a hidden treasure or dangerous ancient items.

Harry remembered reading up on Curse Breakers who were Witches or Wizards who are the magical equivalent of non-magical archaeologists who along with a team of goblins searches ancient tombs or other historical sites, to bring back gold or priceless items of far ancient magical origin to Gringotts.

However, they have to deal with curses or magical traps placed in these tombs or sites and find a way to disable or counter them so that the treasure can be found and taken; the places that Curse Breakers are sent to mostly are Egypt, China, Japan and other historical places of value.

Harry walked up to a free desk where a Goblin was waiting for a next customer as Harry saw that the family he saw earlier had left the bank after being seen to through the doorway that led back into the alley, Harry Potter stepped towards the front of the Goblin's Desk but made sure to keep a slight distance between himself and the Goblin so that the Goblin would not be crowded and have their personal space be invaded.

The Goblin looked up and Harry could see the name tag of the Goblin saying 'Hammerfist' which Harry knew was a name translated from the Goblin language of Gobbledegook so that humans could understand it.

Harry had found a very rare book in his parents Library Trunk Compartment which detailed and taught the person of how to say and speak that language.

The Goblin spoke to Harry "What business do you have need of young Wizard?" Harry could detect a slight sneer in the Goblin's voice as Harry knew that Goblin's had a deep hatred of Witches and Wizard's as there have been many wars and discrimination between the two species and races from Harry's studies of Magical History.

Harry replied politely but strongly to not show weakness as Goblin's where known to hate weakness shown to them but Harry thought to have a little fun as he replied in their language "Honourable Banker Hammerfist, I am here to meet and discuss my account and converse with my Goblin Account Manager if that is manageable?"

The Goblin showed shock at Harry being able to speak their language but hurriedly replied back "It shall be done swiftly wand-carrier, but who is your account manager and what is your name?"

Harry replied back to the Goblin as he knew that the Goblin was trying to discern that Harry was speaking the truth about who he was by asking those details as they were usually kept secret between the Customer and Accountant.

"My name is Harrison James Potter, the sole living Heir to the Potter Family and my Account Manager is the Goblin Grindbone."

Harry knew his true full name as he had found in his parent's trunk his birth certificate which had his name written down on it showing that his real first name was Harrison which he knew was where Harry came from as it was the shorter version of his true first name.

Harry saw that the Goblin became even more stunned at the facts said to him and that Harry was not lying to him was very surprising to the Goblin since it could tell if he was lying.

Hammerfist replied back quickly, "I shall see if he is available to meet you; please wait here."

Hammerfist got off of his seat and quickly went in direction to where the Family Accountant of Harry's Family was located.

A few moments later Hammerfist made his way back to his desk and said to Harry quickly but a little out of breath, "Grindbone will see you now Mr Potter."

Harry nodded as he followed Hammerfist to the office of the Potter Account Manager where they soon came upon a large grey metal door that had the Manager's name labelled on it.

Hammerfist knocked on the door and both Harry and the Goblin heard a voice from inside yell out, "Enter!"

They both went inside and Harry saw a slightly elderly Goblin sitting behind a very well Granite made desk with all sorts of files and writing materials covering the desk.

The Goblin spoke to Harry and Hammerfist with a growling old tone of voice, "Welcome to my office Mr Potter."

Harry nodded as he watches as Grindbone then speak to the goblin who brought Harry here, "You may go and wait outside now Hammerfist while I speak to Mr Potter."

Hammerfist nodded and made his way out of the door closing it behind him, Harry looked at his Account Manager and said to the goblin as he bowed his head slightly, "I thank you for being able to see me Grand Banker Grindbone and hope that our business from this meeting is most profitable."

Harry saw surprise show on Grindbone's face but was soon quickly replaced by a calm and professional mask as he replied back to Harry, "It seems that Hammerfist was not exaggerating with your skill on speaking our tongue, but it is not too odd a sight for myself to witness as I remember how your Grandfather; Charlus Potter would speak our language when he met and spoke with our kind."

Harry felt eager as he listened to Grindbone talk of his Grandfather whom Harry knew was a very well-respected man in his time of living which made Harry so wish to have met him but sadly his Grandfather had died of the Magical version of Smallpox named Dragon Pox which can make elderly Witches or Wizards very weak and sick until they either passed away or died painfully from the illness, Harry's Grandmother also died of the illness shortly before Harry's birth as they both had died while sleeping and under the effects of the illness one night.

Harry shook off his sad thoughts and replied to Grindbone, "I hope that I am as good as he was if not better Grindbone?"

Grindbone grinned showing his sharp teeth that was a little unnerving to Harry as he would not like to be bitten by those teeth but shrugged it off as Grindbone replied, "You speak it very well Mr Potter and while I am sure that he would be proud of your prowess with our language that is not what we are here to talk about so if you would like to take a seat then we can begin."

Harry did so as he sat on a red leather chair suited for a human to sit on as he thanked Grindbone who showed surprise at the gratitude but nodded back in return.

Harry spoke again once he was comfortable in his seat, "I wished to speak with you as I wanted to take my proper place as the Heir of my Family but I will need some guidance as while I am knowledgeable of this world of Magic I have in fact been living in the Non-Magical World for my entire life with my relatives."

Grindbone showed curiosity as he asked "Who are these relatives that you are living with as it is stipulated your Parents will that you should live with a set of guardians picked out by your parents when they assigned the Will?" Harry replied back calmly as he could as he knew that this was true from his parents letters but was still angry that he was forced to live at his relatives home "My relatives and current guardians are Vernon Dursley & Petunia Dursley nee Evans."

Harry saw that Grindbone was showing deep anger and frustration as he bellowed out "THOSE ARE YOUR GUARDIANS, IT WAS STATED VERY CLEARLY THAT YOU WERE NEVER TO BE SENT OR PLACED WITH THOSE MONSTERS."

Harry was furious as he asked back with as much restraint as possible "WHAT Do You Mean That I Was Never Meant To Be Sent To Those People?", Grindbone nodded stiffly as he growled back "Yes as your Mother had explained and in detail of how they may treat you if they ever got their hands on you when making the Will with myself along with your Father before they had went into hiding."

Harry's emotions were threatening to overflow as-well as his magic but after some deep breaths and mental exercises he pulled back on his temper and magic and asked Grindbone "Whom was it that I was supposed to be sent to live with?"

Grindbone answered back after calming down slightly, "You were supposed to have lived with the Guardian's written out in your Parent's Will or your Godfather Sirius Black but he had been sent to Azkaban for his supposed betrayal of your Parent's by sacrificing his position as the Secret Keeper for their protection from The Dark Lord Voldemort."

Harry paused as he thought of what Grindbone had said to him and asked hopefully "Do you mean that you know that Sirius was not their betrayer?"

Grindbone nodded smirking as he appeared pleased at how quickly Harry was catching on and explained to Harry.

"Yes, I remember how your Grandfather as he was at that time the Head of the Family at some time before your birth had placed Sirius Black under his Family's Protection when the young Black Heir, having ran away from his original family after he became the age of sixteen, to protect him from his original Family if they tried to bring harm to him and you know what a person under protection and loyalty of a Magical family like the Potter's must do and never do to that family?"

Harry was gob-smacked as he muttered back his response, "They must give a Magical Loyalty oath to never betray or harm the Family that they are under protection of as long as they live until that family releases them from their protection."

Grindbone nodded in approval of the answer as he said to Harry, "That means that Sirius Black would have died immediately if he had let slip you and your parents location while under the magic keeping them hidden and safe; but he has not as he is still alive and in Azkaban at this very moment."

Grindbone spoke again after taking a drink of water beside him "He could have been freed with the correct evidence given but the fact that a trial was never made out for Sirius Black and this fact has been covered up except for the Goblin's in charge of the Black Family Accounts of whom I know of and has told me of this as they must be notified if a member of the Black family has been made a prisoner of Azkaban or has died."

Grindbone paused for breath and continued speaking "The evidence can be used to free Sirius but there are those in the Ministry of Magic who would see a Goblin's case and demands be not heard, seen or be ignored by those in charge of the Ministry," Grindbone growled this last part out at how his kind had again faced discrimination of their race.

Harry could see what Grindbone meant as he answered back "So, that would it would have to be myself who could have a chance to free Sirius if I presented my case to the Ministry and showed the evidence that you have given me and was backed by those who would be able to help myself with Sirius' case."

Grindbone nodded as he said "Yes, I think that would help you and your Godfather and I think I know who can help you but first let me read out your Parents will to you as it was not carried out by the Ministry as the Chief Warlock at the time had the will sealed until it was to voted to be opened and read by the entire Wizengamot."

Harry was again angry as he knew who was the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, Albus Dumbledore and the person that Harry's parents were wary of from their letters to him which showed true as Harry really wanted to deal with Dumbledore quickly but he knew that the old man had too much power at the moment so Harry would plan out a way to exact his revenge and make the old man suffer.

Harry was snapped out of his angry thoughts by Grindbone as he took out a long document which Harry could guess was the will who said to Harry "This is the real Will as the one that the Ministry holds is in fact a copy which one of our spies in the Ministry switched with the real one so that we the Goblin's could have the original one."

Harry could hear the smugness of Grindbone which Harry could agree on as it was a very clever plan to pull off but the goblin snapped out of his smug attitude and started reading out aloud to Harry the Will which said:

This is the Last Will and testament of James Richard Potter & Lily Ann Potter nee Evans which so here reads;

This ends our last Will and Testament, Signed by James Richard Potter & Lily Ann Potter nee Evans.

Witnessed and assisted by Goblin Grindbone - Potter Account Manager

Witnessed by Albus Dumbledore - Head of the Wizengamot and representative to the Ministry of Magic.

Harry was a little shocked at the contents of the will as he knew who the Flamel's were as Nicholas Flamel was the creator of the famed Philosophers stone, Harry remembered how John & Angela Greengrass had been friends of his mother around the time of her losing friendships with Severus Snape and both been in Slytherin (John) and Ravenclaw (Angela) as was told in Harry's mother's Diary but had been neutral in the War against Voldemort to his mothers knowledge.

He was also absolutely furious at the revelation of The Headbastard of a man having been a witness of the Wills creation and still having ignored the orders and wishes of Harry's parents which doubled his determination to see and have the Old Man punished for his atrocious crimes.

Harry shook his emotionally charged thoughts away as he asked Grindbone "What happened to Alice Longbottom and why where the other guardians bar Sirius not notified of my disappearance? as I know that they should have been told by my Parents."

Grindbone replied after a moment of thinking on how to answer Harry "Since the Will was not read out after your parents death then the people who were to be your guardians would not have been notified of it and Alice Longbottom and her husband Frank Longbottom were attacked by the Dark Lord Voldemort's followers a week after his demise leading to Alice and her husband to be left catatonic and in a vegetative state by those followers."

Harry shook his head in remorse at the fate of his godmother, he asked Grindbone "Are they able to be cured and how did they end up in their state of condition?"

Grindbone answered back, "They were reported to have been supposedly tortured while under the effects of the Unforgivable Curse known as the Cruciatus Curse but left under the curse for a longer time than normal until the attackers were arrested and sent to Azkaban after being tried for their crimes."

Harry was shocked as he knew of The Unforgivable Curses which along with the Torture Curse there was the Controlling Curse (Imperius Curse - Imperio) and the deadliest of them all, The Killing Curse (Avada Kadavra Curse).

Harry had found out about it from his books that detailed the curses and why they were banned from use and anyone using them would be either put to death or sent to Azkaban where they would be held under the torture of the Dementors who were emotion and soul sucking creatures of the vilest nature that left the victim feeling weak, ill and either without a soul or trapped in their most horrible memories of the worst kind.

Harry had nightmares occasionally about the curses especially the Killing Curse as it explained his weird dreams he had when he was younger about a green light and a scream that always ended with a high cruel laugh which would leave Harry waking up shaken in fear as his mind relived the experience.

Harry looked at Grindbone as he pushed his old memories away and focused on the task of the moment as he said to the goblin "What can you tell me about the homes from the Will and how will I access my vaults as I have no Key?"

Grindbone looked to think on this as he answered after a moment of thought "Your homes that you now own are as told in the Will, protected by Wards and have been kept secure by us at Gringotts as was specified by your parents when they assigned their will to both us and the Ministry, the Manor can be accessed to by Portkey which is held inside your Family Vault along with instructions on how to enter your Manor, The Villa's also have been kept secure much like the Manor but your Cottage is where the Dark Lord Voldemort had attacked you and your parents while in hiding and is left a ruin but made into a monument by the Ministry as they seemed to believe that leaving the cottage the way it was after the attack would be more appropriate for you and your family but we have been unable to get access to it as the Ministry had erected their own wards that would detect Goblin interference so we could not find a way to repair it to its former glory."

Harry felt his ire rising as he really wanted the Ministry to pay for what they could have done to his former home, where he last lived with his parents but he calmed down and put it down on his mental to do list as he asked Grindbone "Are the other homes in disrepair or in danger of any kind?" Grindbone answered back "The homes have been kept in their best condition as your family's House Elves have done their duty to keep the homes from disrepair."

Harry nodded as he paused thinking on the fact that he still had House Elves owned by his family as he knew what they were from his books that gave details and history of House Elves but the books where very old as there are not many books about them from what Harry had gathered from his studies and Mother's Diary who wanted to find more about them also and had found the books in a very old second-hand shop in Diagon Alley but closer to the more risque and dangerous Knockturn Alley of which was rumored to be filled with dark and evil merchandise.n

House Elves were the descendants of the fabled Elvin race of fairy tales but a terrible curse and plague had affected them some years after Merlin's Death which caused them to slowly die out or change how they looked from their tall and beautiful looks to small and frail looking bodies but those that changed and not died out had made pacts with Wizards and Witches to become servants to them after a group of them had saved their kind from extinction by destroying the curse but this left those remaining elves very weak and unable to live long until the Witches and Wizards had created a ritual that allowed the remaining small elves to be linked to their magic which kept them living and able to serve the Witches and Wizards who saved them which after some years when the Elves, now turned House Elves had made a larger population, these elves had become servants to the rest of the Wizards and Witches of the Magical World pledging loyalty to them to remain servants and protect their Masters or Mistresses who owned them for their servitude.

Harry had a theory from this as since his parents death some years ago and that he was still the remaining living Heir of the Potters then the remaining House Elves had been able to survive by linking to their new Master which in fact was himself through the House Elf bond that has changed and adapted throughout history until the shared magic between the Wizard or Witch had created the Elves own brand of Magic that they could control how they wished so that they would be able to protect their Masters or Mistresses Family better or serve that family better.

Harry shook his head of his thoughts as he seemed to be doing that a lot today but he shrugged it off as Grindbone spoke to him "Your keys you can acquire by donating blood to help create a new set of keys and the old ones will be destroyed magically by whoever holds them at the moment as I doubt that you were to be given the keypersonally by us."

Harry nodded as he asked "What do I need to do?" Grindbone answered back "You will need to place a few drops of blood into this ink here..." Grindbone pointed to an inkwell beside him, "...Then sign the document in front of me which will allow you to have your new key created but that will only be for your trust vault as you would need either a Goblin to help you open the door or your Heir/Family ring as the key which is coincidental as the form next to it is for your acceptance to being made Heir of the Family therefore allowing you the ability to wear the ring."

Harry nodded at this and took out his Swiss Army Knife from his pocket which when Grindbone saw it he was most amused as he said "A most unusual item you have theirMr Potter", Harry blushed slightly as he could see that the goblin had his own knife to be used by Harry but seemed to let Harry use his own knife which he did as he was passed the inkwell and dropped a few drops of blood after making the cut but to his amazement the cut healed and a look at Grindbone he saw that the goblin had winked at him with his hand in the air as he said to Harry "Goblin's as you probably already know know have their own magic and I healed your cut so that it would not scar and as you are in my office I would not like it if my clients where not bleeding or harmed in any way while in my office but please hand me the inkwell and we can continue."

Harry nodded and handed it back which Grindbone took and closed its cap then shook it a bit and lastly placed it down next to a quill for Harry to use which he did as he got off of his seat and took the quill and signed the documents for his new key and acquiring the Potter Family/Heir ring.

When he was finished signing Grindbone waved his hand over the documents once they were completed, the documents disappeared and Grindbone told Harry "Those documents will go to our filing and sorting office where they will deliver and create the new key for you shortly but first I think that you have been waiting for this for long enough," Grindbone handed him a box from the desk which when Harry opened it he saw that it was his Family/Heir ring with the actual Family Crest (having found the the crest on his and his family trunk was a personalised crest done by his father) on it which was a red and grey crested shield with a Wyvern on it, which was a small reptilian creature with the head of a dragon and two legs but not front legs or arms along with small wings on its back, the metal of the ring was silver or at least to Harry's eyes it was.

Harry took the ring from the box and placed it on his right index finger as he knew this from the studies into his Family Traditions and Laws from a book belonging to his father that was in the Third compartment of his and his parent's trunk.

Once the ring was on his finger Harry felt a rush of magic and feeling of acceptance along with comfort as if he was being hugged by someone who cared for him which made Harry feel pure joy and happiness at the feeling of finally being given such feelings of caring and familial comfort, Harry was nearly overwhelmed by this new feeling as he felt his own magic join with the magic of the ring and seem to vibrate in harmony.

Harry used his mental exercises to calm himself and his magic down, he looked at Grindbone who said courteously to Harry "Welcome Harrison James Potter to Heir-ship of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter, May the family motto live on 'Praesidio et Virtus est Symbolum'."

Harry thought about the motto and translated it in his head from Latin to English - 'Protection and Virtue is our Creed', he felt that it suited his family from what he knew them as they were fierce and well-known protectors of people and family along with having the virtues of a good person.

Harry was snapped out of his thoughts on his family motto by another goblin appearing from what looked to another side door into another room, the new goblin looked to be not as old as Grindbone which said goblin spoke to the newly entered goblin saying "Have you finished creating the new key for my client Mr Potter then Assistant Griphook?" The goblin Griphook nodded and answered back to his superior "Yes Clan Head Grindbone, I have and the creation has been a success."

Grindbone nodded and took a small bag from Griphook who left after being permitted to leave while closing the side door behind him; Grindbone opened the bag and took out a small golden key with a small green gem in the middle that had a small indentation that was the Gringotts Bank symbol.

Harry was given the key by Grindbone who said "The key is now only usable to you or anyone you grant permission to hold your key and use the vault but I strongly recommend that you do not do this as it is a security risk that you should follow so that your money and vault stay secured from being stolen."

Grindbone growled at the thought of someone trying such a thing but continue speaking, "Also this bag I now hold will be used by you so that you may be able to withdraw your money but it is linked to your magic through the blood from the ink that you had used for the documents much like your key is so that only you can take money out of it."

Grindbone took another drink of water and spoke again "You may withdraw money from it by placing the hand with your heir ring inside and thinking the amount that you want or need to be inside the bag and it will be deposited from your Trust Vault to this bag."

Harry nodded as he tried it out thinking "500 Galleons and 20 Sickles" Harry felt the bag get heavier and more filled as the currency of the Wizarding World filled into his new money bag which he knew was Gold Galleons, Silver Sickles and Bronze Knuts which he knew had a confusing way of adding up to each other than Non-Magical Money as 17 Sickles make up a Galleon, 29 Knuts are in a single Sickle and 493 Knuts make up a Galleon.

Harry thinks that this is amusing how a single Knut is equal to 1 pence in British Money meaning that a Sickle makes 29 pence and a Galleon makes 439 pence which is £4.39/four pounds and 39 pence. Harry had solved and understood the mathematics of it all when he had divided the amount from the British Non-Magical equivalent of a Galleon to a Sickle and came up with the amount that added up to Sickles making a Galleon which is 17 Sickles.

Harry could see how confusing it would be to those who had no experience with Magical British Money or where not too good with counting up and doing maths, Harry nodded at Grindbone saying to him "I will see my Family Vault another time as I have much so do today," Grindbone nodded at this and said back to Harry "Then I hope to see you again Mr Potter, May Your Life Be Profitable and Enemies Few."

Harry smiled back replying in kind to the Goblin Greeting and Farewell "Thank you Grindbone and to you May Your Pocket Be Filled With Gold & Wealth Untouched By Thieves", Grindbone smirked with his sharp teeth showing at the Goblin reply as he waved Harry goodbye as the now Heir of the Potter Family walked out of the Account Managers Office.

Harry closed the door behind him and saw that Hammerfist had been waiting for Harry who jumped up from where he was sitting and lead Harry back to the bank's entrance saying to Harry "I hope to do business with you again soon Mr Potter."

Harry nodded in return as he left Gringotts and stepped back into Diagon Alley where Harry decided to get his robes and school clothes first as he walked to the shop needed for it which was 'Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions', Harry knew that this store would sell nearly everything he needed for clothes besides a few items here and there which Harry would get from another store.

When Harry went inside the store he saw that the real owner and elderly Madam Malkin was busy with someone else at the moment so Harry went to the much younger stores assistant who was looking bored behind the counter until she saw him and brightened up saying to Harry "Welcome to Madam Malkin's, are you here for your Hogwarts Robes and things?" Harry nodded as he said to the girl eyeing her name tag saying "Yes that is what I am here for among a few other things as I will take 6 standard Hogwarts uniforms along with a few formal robes and can I have the set of other spells/charms that can be added to the uniforms and robes which you offer?" the girl looked surprised at the purchase but nodded and said back asking "What Spells/Charms features do you wish to be added to them?"

Harry thought about it for a second and answered back "The Temperature Controlling feature Charm, the Weather-Proof feature Charm, the Stain Proof feature Charm for both food and potions work along with Adjustment feature Charm if that can be possible Elisabeth," Harry smiled as he saw the assistant blushing as Harry said her name.

Harry had picked the spells from a brochure of the store in his parents trunk which was his mother's who wanted to see if you could protect your clothing and uniform as she had trouble keeping her uniform clean when in Potions class until she had found the brochure which had the Spells/Charms that Harry had picked out from the booklets list of Spells/Charms.

They were all very useful as the Temperature Controlling feature Charm was so that the uniform could simply change its temperature from hot/warm in cold weather or cold/cool in hotter weather so that the wearer would not feel stuffy or hot on a very warm day and cold or freezing on a chilly day.

The Weather-Proof feature Charm was so that the clothes could withstand rain and not get soaked in the wet weather along with keeping them from blowing about in very windy weather as he knew that since Hogwarts was located in northern Scotland somewhere it was bound to be mostly wet and windy weather as was the normal Scottish climate.

The Stain Proof feature Charm was pretty self-explanatory as it helped a student's clothes and uniform from being stained by potions spills, causing accidents or ruining the uniform/clothes of the wearer and this went the same for food stains which would both disappear from the Charms reaction to said substances.

The Adjustment feature Charm was so that the person would not need to get more robes or clothes as they grew and adjusted automatically to the persons size as they grew older and taller or larger, Harry also said to the assistant Elisabeth "I would also like some black dragon hide gloves and comfortable shoes and boots also in black leather and hide".

Elisabeth nodded as he was shown some styles of gloves and boots and he picked the ones he liked which were a pair of gloves with a small strap around them so that they would stay on or not slip about/off and shoes or boots with an added on spell that tied the laces as soon as he had them on but made sure to be not too tight.

Harry was taken to one of the stools for measuring and fitting as Elisabeth wanted to get the sizes right so Harry followed instructions and stood on the stool while getting fitted for his robes but during that Elisabeth asked "What colours would you like for your dress robes and what would you like them to be styled like or made of?"

Harry thought about it for a moment and answered back "I would like the first one to be in a dark forest green with black Acromantula silk lining and have the cloak/cape black also, and in the same silk as the lining of the suit, the next one will be in reverse with the silk dark forest green but the dress robes in black, the third one will be in royal blue Acromantula silk for its cloak/cape with charcoal grey for its suit and for the rest of the dress robes also will be in dark colours of maroon, silver and gold with your decision on the styles and matching colours which I am sure that you will figure out and do splendidly".

Harry smiled at the now blushing red Elisabeth who is feeling embarrassed at the compliments given to her by a boy she is working on and the fact that beneath the robes she can just feel well worked muscles and a strong body but she soon snaps out of it and gets to work on the sizes as she is nearly done with the work.

Harry looked at the person who was also getting fitted and saw that they were nearly done as-well, Harry looked at the person getting fitted and saw that it was a boy his age but with very pale skin and white blond hair that was styled into an undercut slicked back style, he saw the bored expression on the kids face and decided to introduce himself asking "Hello, are you for Hogwarts too."

The boy looked at Harry with the same bored expression as he seemed to drawl out "Yes I am, what house do you think you might be sorted into?" Harry raised an eyebrow at the boy's drawling voice but answered back "I think that I would be sorted into Ravenclaw as it is a great house to learn and find things about the world around me as Ravenclaw does stand for smart and wise people but if not then I will have to wait and see what happens" the boy looked slightly more interested but also had a slight sneer as he said "Are you a Muggleborn?"

Harry could see that this boy was a Pureblood from the question and look on the blond-haired kids face as he said 'Muggleborn' told him that the blond haired boy belonged with a family of prejudiced magical people so Harry answered back calmly "I don't think that is really any of your concern if I am or not what you asked and for your information, I am not a Muggleborn but I do live in the Muggle world yet know about the Magical World a lot."

The boy looked to have no answer so he kept quiet but still had the sneer on his face until he was released from his fittings and drawled back "Well I'll see you at school I suppose?"

The boy walked out after paying Madam Malkin and being told when the robes would be done which soon happened to Harry as he stepped off of the stool and was told by Elisabeth when the robes would be done.

"It will take about an hour or more for your robes to be ready as the features need to be still added on to your order of clothes" Harry nodded and paid for his purchases when he was given the price of it, Harry walked out of the shop and thought of where to go next until he felt himself getting hungry so he went to the Ice Cream Cafe named 'Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour' Harry went inside and got himself a treat were the owner of the shop greeted him with a smile as he asked "What would you like lad?" Harry smiled back at the cheerful owner as he answered back "I would like a Chocolate Crêpe with raspberry sauce and mint chocolate ice cream with lots of rainbow sprinkles" the owner smiled at the order and told him that it would be a moment as he got to work making a fresh Crêpe batter, mixed with the chocolate sauce inside it to create the chocolate Crêpe and after flipping and making the Crêpe he set it on a plate and added the rest of the toppings and ice cream then gave it to Harry saying "There's your crêpe, that will be 5 Sickles and 4 Knuts please."

Harry nodded and gave the exact amount for it, then when he was paid Harry went to take a seat at one of the tables and dug into his order which Harry thought was delicious as it tasted very good to him.

After Harry finished his snack he left the Parlour and headed to the Potions and Cauldron shops where he got the items needed but made sure to double up on ingredients for potions, the cauldrons that Harry got were both a pewter one like it said on the list but Harry also got a Brass Cauldron as they worked better for some potions and brewed quicker too but the pewter one was really just a beginners cauldron for first years which is why it is on the school list.

After paying for the items which was a bit of a steep price but Harry shrugged it off as he made his way to the book store named 'Flourish & Blotts' Book-store' Harry stepped inside the shop and went around gathering the books that he needed along with a few other reading materials like some more recent history books and spell/charm books along with a book on Jinxes and Curses (A/N: You know the one I mean) as he may need some more Jinxes and Curses added on to his spell list so that he could defend himself much better from any recent spells and such.

When he was done buying and paying for his books Harry went to the writing equipment shop named 'Scribbulus Writing Implements' where he got replacement quills for his old and broken ones along with a few new inks that where different colours like Silver or Blue and Emerald Green.

Harry was now walking to the pet shops as he noticed that there was a small crowd of Children and Adults in front of the stores display that was the Quidditch and Broom Store 'Quality Quidditch Supplies' and when Harry could finally see what they were looking at he saw that there was a new broom out on display which turned out to be the next new model of Nimbus after his father's one which Harry now owned.

It was named the Nimbus 2000 and looked like a very good riding and racing broom and made of what looked like Mahogany and Gold Stirrups with the name of the model at the handle of the broom, Harry wanted to get it but resigned to see if he would be able to get it or the next model the year after this one.

Harry resumed his course to the pet stores as he looked inside the 'Magical Menagerie' which held animals like cats, toads and other animals bar owls as that store was called 'Eeylops Owl Emporium', Harry saw that there was a lot of interesting animals in the Menagerie but they did not feel right at the moment for Harry to get from here so he went into the owl shop and saw that there was so many species of owls and other birds that made up the store that Harry was unsure of which one to choose.

That was until he felt something pull him to the near back of the room where he saw the most beautiful female Snowy Owl, her feathers and plumage were bright and white as her name sake with dark patches of black lines running with the white plumage complimenting her looks and avian body, her eyes where a golden-yellow that seemed to shine with intelligence and pride showing the attributes of this wonderful owl.

Harry had to have this owl no matter the cost, when said owl saw him she hooted and called out to him in a way that an owl should do so, the female owl moved along the cage so that she could be able to get a closer look and see the boy in front of her as Harry gently but with caution put his finger through her cage and under the owls chin then gently scratched the owl's chest up and down which the female owl seemed to like the attention as it twittered in pleasure and hooted softly at being scratched by the nice boy whom she felt was a worthy partner and master for her to obey, live with and protect.

Harry saw that her cage was a little small for her even though she looked to be over a year old or so which meant that she was a very recent adult owl, Harry felt sorry for this female owl who was the most beautiful bird he had ever seen, Harry gently lifted the cage and took it with him but not before opening it slowly and laying his arm out for the female owl to perch on which she did after some enticement from Harry as she made sure that her claws would not harm her possible new master but shifted herself until she was near his shoulder and rubbed her head against her new master who smiled at her and stroked her head as they both went to the counter of the store where a sleepy Witch was working.

Harry set the cage down on the counter which seemed to snap the witch out of her drowsiness as she saw Harry carrying the female snowy owl on his arm which surprised her as she says to him "That's a shock seeing you with her, as she seemed to not like other customers who tried to buy her who received claw marks and scratches and painful nips from her beak when they tried to take her, I thought for some time that no one was allowed to be taken by her, until now."

Harry raised an eyebrow at this as he could see how proud she was for not letting those who she thought were unworthy of herself have her for themselves, Harry looked at the witch and said "How much for her and can I get a larger and more comfortable cage but with added on Charms that can be offered for it like the shrinking and enlarging Charm feature along with the Self-Cleaning and Freshening Charm feature to keep it clean, also can I get a long/large perch for her that has the same charms bar the freshening charm".

The Witch nodded but raised her eyebrow at a customer who knew what he wanted but shrugged it off as she said to the boy while she got the supplies "What kind of material for the perch would you like?" Harry thought of it as he knew that a wood one would be nice but it would be scratched a lot and splinter easily even with charms added on so Harry said to the witch as he made his choice "A flat-topped black stone perch if you would and can you have a small bowl attached to it that is refillable with water and non-spill-able."

The Witch nodded as she went around the shop looking for the items that the boy requested, when she retrieved the items she said to him "I will need time to add in the features required as it will take about 10 or 20 minutes to do them," Harry nodded as he said "That is okay with me but I think that I will carry my new owl with me until you are ready to hand me my purchases which should be...?" Harry left the sentence unfinished as he clearly asked for the price of the items.

The witch answered back saying "The owl for finally getting an owner of her I will sell her for 7 Galleons and the rest of the items for 13 Galleons so in total it is 20 Galleons altogether" Harry smiled and quickly paid for his purchases then left the store saying he would be back for the items soon.

Harry spoke to his owl saying "I do not know what name I will give you yet girl but you will get one soon but if you want to fly for a bit then please fly to where I live but make sure to land in one of the trees nearby it but please keep hidden as you do that, so that no one can see you and I will let you in when I get home by whistling to you like this" Harry does a small loud whistle that makes a few people look at Harry oddly but he ignored them as the Female Snowy Owl bobbed her head in agreement with the order as she nipped Harry's ear gently and took off in flight happy that she would be able to fly after so long from since she had first hatched and had her new Master to thank for this.

Harry smiled in happiness also as he saw his new pet and friend take off, Harry headed for his last item on his to do list but checked that he had all of his current purchases in his trunk which he had placed inside when he had the chance to do so in the more secluded areas of the Alley during his shopping.

Harry went to the last shop he needed to go to which was the wand store where he would get his wand as Harry stood in front of an old-looking building that said 'Ollivanders Wand Shop - Making Wands since 382 BC', Harry went inside but he was surprised a bit as he felt tingles of magic surround him as it seemed to trickle at his neck yet Harry could see that the store seemed empty until he noticed a shadow on the floor behind the desk of the counter making Harry remember how his parents had said how the owner Garrick Ollivander would seemingly appear out of nowhere and feeling mischievous at the possibility at making his father proud at the prank he may pull off.

Harry said out loud inside the store near the counter "There is no need to try to hide from me sir as I know that you are under a Disillusionment Charm behind your desk."

Harry hears a near silent chuckle but also in a surprised tone as a old man seemed to un-blend with his surroundings much like a reverse Chameleon would look like, the man spoke with a still surprise in his voice as he seemed to look at Harry oddly saying "How did you know that I was hiding Mr Potter?"

Harry raised an eyebrow as he felt the need to imitate a favourite detective character of his from the books he liked to read as Harry replied "Elementary my good man, when I came into this store the room seemed empty but then I noticed a shadow of a man whom I estimate was yours covering the floor and saw that the footprints where you are standing are see-able as from the disturbed dust floor that left the markings of your own shoes and from this it was easy to deduce where you were and how you hid as if you had an Invisibility Cloak then I would have heard your breathing coming from under the cloak as you would need air after a few moments of being under it from the lack of air possibly inside the cloak when under it, therefore a Disillusionment Charm would be your only option of magic to use so that you would hide and surprise anyone who came into your store but I would like to know how you came to know my name as I have not told you of it?"

Harry really wanted to laugh at the amazed and gobsmacked look on the shop owners face which soon disappeared as the owner, Garrick said with a chuckle "You truly are a remarkable young Wizard Mr Potter and I am sure that your parents would be proud of your talent and observation skills."

Harry smiled as Garrick continued his speech as he said "The reason that I know of you was because of your popularity within our world and history of how you survived the attack from He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and the Killing Curse cast by him."

Harry showed interest but also shock as he listed to this as he said back confused, "What do you mean and who is this wizard you are talking about?"

Garrick seemed confused also as he answered back "Do you mean you do not know of your fame and legends made of you?"

Harry felt shock take him as he shook his head in negative making Garrick pity the boy as the man thought to himself "You poor child, this will be difficult for him to understand and get used to."


That is it for the moment as I will do the next chapter soon but maybe after I have done another one for a different fic or have enough votes for my 'Magical Ninja' Fic which I hope to have its Poll filled up quickly.

Please REVIEW THIS AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK AND HELP ME IF I HAVE MADE ANY MISTAKES OR ERRORS FOR THIS CHAPTER.
