Harry and Chris had trouble finding a matching wand. In the end Oliveander had to craft one for both of them. Chris had what he needed for his wand, an angel feather he kept on him. The memory of where he got it from was not clear but he knew this was what it was for. Oliveander was awed when he saw it. While he was busy crafting Chris's wand Harry excused himself and orbed to the cave his magic had directed him to before. He knew there would be no wand that had the cores he knew were available would match him because of his status as the source of magic. He found the counter part of the red ruby he remembered from before. It had the same properties as the other one and would be a great core for his wand.
When he returned Chris's wand was finished and he was just trying it out. Harry walked up to Oliveander and said "The core I have for my wand is not compatible with something so small. I am going to need a staff." With that he placed the red gem on the counter. Oliveander gasped as he saw what the stone was and had to ask "Where did you get this stone child?" Harry answered him "It was in a cave that magic took me to. The first time I saw it was two years ago. It is a part of me. No other material will work for me as a wand core." Oliveander was no fool. He knew what the stone was and what it did. If what the child said was the truth then he was chosen by magic. Could it be possible that he was the source of magic spoken about in the lore's of long ago?. He didn't realise he was speaking out loud when he said "Only the source of magic has access to these stones. He is the only one able to remove them from their hidden places."
Chris just snorted, he already knew that Harry was the source of magic, Piper and Paige had found out not too long ago so it was not news to them however Piper's protective streak came out when she cast a spell to keep the knowledge getting out. "a secret heard, a secret kept, a secret I bind you to share, only with those right here. I call upon the power of the Halliwels to seal this knowledge " Oliveander felt the magic settle on him, a flicker of fear in his eyes as he heard the name invoked in the spell. The Halliwels were notorious for vanquishing demons. They were a very old and ancient family of demon hunters, they were also the most powerful magicals since Merlin. He would have to tread carefully. He did not want to get on the wrong side of these witches.

Harry felt the bonding of his staff to his magic. The procedure had taken two hours to complete and they were done with their shopping by the time they returned to pick it up. He knew no-one else would be able use it and the blood bonding he was planning for later would ensure that no-one could touch it without his permission. He like that he could shrink it to the size of a wand so he wouldn't stand out when he went to Hogwarts. Just before they went home however Harry bumped into someone knocking both of them over. He started apologising he looked into grey eyes that looked almost silver. The boy got his apology in first before Harry could. "I'm sorry. Are you ok?"
Harry nodded trying to think of what it was that was bothering him. It wasn't until the silver eyed boy had left stiffly following an older version of himself that he realised what it was that was bothering him. The scent on the boy, it was a very distinct scent that he had grown up knowing with the Dursleys. I was the metallic smell of blood. The stiff way the boy held himself could easily be mistaken for someone who was trying to look down on other people but Harry knew. He himself had held that posture before while trying not to let the wounds on his body get aggravated.
It wasn't until his mum placed a hand on his shoulder and turned to her that he realised his magic had been leaking and there was a glow around him. "Harry, what is it sweetheart?" Harry just answered "Can we go home?" They all orbed back to the manor concerned about Harry. When they arrived Harry wrapped his arms around Piper and cried. This shocked the others and they kept asking him what was wrong? Harry was overwhelmed with memories from his childhood. All Piper could do was hold him and try and comfort as best she could. She didn't understand what had got Harry so upset. She decided to wait until he was calm enough to answer for himself.
When Harry finally calmed down, his family were around him and he remembered how lucky he was to have them. He began with an apology. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you all like that." Piper who was still holding him replied "It's alright sweetheart, just tell us what upset you like that." Harry then explained the trigger that was activated by the smell of blood on the boy. He had everyone's attention now as the subject of his life with Dursleys was a taboo topic with him. He had never talked about it nor given any indication that he wanted to. They figured that he would talk when he was ready. None of them wanted to force him.
By the time Harry finished talking about what the abuse he went through there were tears in the eyes of everyone in the room. Harry felt like he had removed a heavy load he had been unaware he was carrying, it didn't surprise anyone when he said "I have to get him away from whoever is doing this to him. I can follow his magical signature to find out who he is and where lives. It'll give me an idea of how to help him."

Harry stood in a huge bedroom that looked like it was made for a prince. The furniture and bedding screamed quality and money. However it wasn't the pale blues and creams he had come to see, he had traced the magical signature of the boy to this room. He sensed for anyone else around and found only one presence in the room. It was the boy. He was lying on the floor broken and bleeding.
Harry didn't even hesitate. He took hold of the boy's arm and orbed him home. Calling for Leo at the same time. "Dad! Dad! I need you." Leo materialised right next to Harry who had placed the boy in his own bed. Seeing the boy Leo quickly went over to him and began to heal him. Slowly the wounds began to heal and Harry asked "Why is it taking so long?" In reply Leo said "Dark magic was used to put him in this state, it's fighting me trying to keep me from healing him. Harry studied the magic around Draco and how his dad's healing power worked, it was one of the few things he had yet to learn, he supposed now would be a good time to start.
Mimicking Leo's magic Harry directed his on the boy hoping to offset the balance that his dad was fighting. It stopped being a struggle for Leo and between the two of them every injuries were healed leaving no scars to show for them.
