Chapter 10 The Wizarding World
Professor Dumbledore had just told Harry why he was famous. Harry was still trying to understand how he survived a curse that should have killed him. It killed his parents and destroyed his house apparently. So how could he survive? Just then Hagrid came in the small shop Dumbledore nodded that he could enter and summoned a chair from thin air for Hagrid to sit on. Harry didn't even notice because he was so lost in thought. Harry realized that he wouldn't be able to understand how he survived until he knew more. He sighed and noticed Hagrid "Hey Hagrid Shouldn't we be getting my school things?"
"That's right. Blimy I forgot about that. We should be going professor Dumbledore." Hagrid said as he stood up.
"Very well Hagrid." Dumbledore said as he stood up. "I will see you back at the school. And Harry I will be seeing you when the term starts."
"Thank you Professor for answering my questions." The truth was Harry was even more confused than he was before. But at least he knew why everyone knew him.
"You're welcome Harry. Off you go now. There's things you need correct?"
Harry and Hagrid Walked out of the shop onto the busy street. Harry turned around to wave goodbye but Dumbledore was already gone. He turned his attention to Hagrid "Where to first Hagrid?"
"First off we need to get you your books at flourish and blots." They went into the shop and Hagrid went up to the counter and asked the lady for first year books. While Harry walked around the shop had millions of books some as small as post stamps others as large as a door. Hagrid almost had to drag Harry away from a book about prank curses.
"I just wanted to see if I could prank Dudley." Harry said
"Not saying you shouldn't but you need more training before you could do those curses." They went into the potions shop and Hagrid asked for basic potion ingredients. Harry looked at 2 jars one beetle eyes 5 knuts a scoop and unicorn hair 20 galleons a thread. Harry was becoming more awestruck every moment all around him was incredible things that he had no idea he was a part of it made him feel strange. This was by far his best birthday ever.
"Blimiy I almost forgot I've got to get you a birthday present."
"Hagrid you don't need to do that." Harry said feeling embarrassed
"I know I don't have to do this but I want to." A few moments later Harry was holding a snowy owl and thanking Hagrid more than he needed to.
"You only need one last thing Harry and that's a wand." A wand that was what Harry really wanted. "We'll go to Olivanders they make the best wands." Hagrid said pointing to a shop that had peeling paint. They went inside the shop and it seemed as if they enters a very strict building that would kick you out if your shoes were untied.
"I was wondering when I'd be seeing you Mr. Potter." Harry jumped at this and apparently so did Hagrid because the small chair he was sitting on snapped and Hagrid jumped off it. Olivander didn't seem to care about this he looked at Harry straight in the eyes. His eyes were silver and Harry saw his own reflection in them. Olivander looked away from Harry eyes and to his forehead where his scar was. "I'm sad to say I sold the wand that did it." He said sadly "A very powerful wand. In the wrong hands too." He looked past Harry and noticed Hagrid. "Ah good to see you again Hagrid. I remember your wand well. But I suppose they snapped it in half when you were expelled."
"Yes they did. I've still got the pieces thought." Hagrid said
"You don't use them though." Olivander said sternly.
"Of corset not." Hagrid replied quickly griping his umbrella tightly.
Olivander looked at him closely then turned to Harry. "I remember when you're father and mother were in here buying their first wands." Olivander said as he took out a tape measure. "What is your wand arm."
"Um.. I'm right handed." Harry said unsure of what the man meant.
"Hold out that arm then." Harry held out the arm and Olivander measured it. He measured his shoulders, hand, back, legs, toes feet, ears, soon he raised the tape measure was doing this in its own. "That will do." Olivander said and the tape measure feel on the floor. "Each wand Mr. Potter has a powerful core. Dragon heartstrings, Unicorn tail hair, and Phoenix tail feathers. No two unicorns are the same like no two people are the same. So each wizards wand is different so using another wizards wand won't be as powerful as using your own." Olivander said as he pulled a box off of its shelf. "Mahogany with dragon heartstring 11 inches give it a try." Harry took the wand and waved it causing a vase to explode. Harry put the wand down quickly. "Apparently not. Try this one." He gave Harry another wand and this time he cause a small fire. This Happened about twenty more time. But Olivander didn't seem to mind in fact he seemed to become Happier with every wand that Harry tried. "Tricky customer no matter we'll find the perfect match for you." Harry wasn't Shure if there was a wand that would work for him at all. "I wonder." Olivander said as he looked at a old box. He took the wand out and Harry took it. Instantly Harry felt warmth through his body and brought the wand down and showered red and gold sparks. Hagrid clapped and cheered Olivander had a smile on his face that turned into a frown as if he was confused about something. He placed the wand into a box and tied it up with some string.
"Is something wrong?" Harry asked
"I remember every wand I've sold Mr. Potter every last one. It is strange that the wand you have its core is of a phoenix who gave one other wand. The wand that it gave was what gave you that scar."
Harry was confused for a moment then he realized he had the same core a Voldemort's wand. Harry paid 15 Galleons for the wand and bought another wand just in case. Harry and Hagrid left Diagon alley and went back out to muggle London. Hardy was so lost in thought that he didn't notice all the funny looks he was getting. Hagrid taped him on the shoulder "We've got some time to eat before the train leaves." They sat down and ordered.
"You alright Harry you're awfully quiet."
"I'm alright Hagrid I'm just thinking." Harry was quiet for a while then spoke again. "I just don't understand how I survived. Or how I'm going to fit in at Hogwarts. I don't know anything about magic."
Hagrid smiled at Harry "Harry I know it may be hard starting off but you'll learn quick enough. Everyone does. You'll do amazing things Harry."
"Thanks Hagrid." After lunch they took the train back to the Durslys and Hagrid gave him his ticket to the school train. When Harry looked at the ticket he was going to ask Hagrid about the platform but he was gone.
I'm going to be honest. I'm disappointed that here on fanfiction someone insulted me. Not my work but me I thought that it wouldn't happen here.
