Two hours and a well used Rennervate later, Tom and Nathair were leaving Gringotts. Seeing that Nathair was still a little stunned at the revelation that when he could inherit all of it, he would be the richest person in their world. Tom took him to Florean Fortescue's ice cream shop and bought some ice cream for both to eat as they calmed down so they could finish the rest of their shopping and things they needed to get done while they were in the alley. Though that wasn't all that had left them both so stunned.
All the titles and riches Nathiar was to inherit, the monies, homes, lands, and power. Each of the houses whos titles he was set to inherit had much wealth and even more power for each of the titles was a pureblood one, and as such had at least one seat and one vote in the Wizengamot and power to change their world, their laws, something that Dumbledore would have no doubt wanted to use to change their world to suit his desires. As Nathiar was too young to inherit and therefore claim the seats and their voting power, though the seats and their votes could still be used, as Nathiar was not of age his father could use the votes himself or assign a proxy to use them until the time that they could be claimed by Nathiar. Tom and Nathiar stepped aside, away from the goblin, to speak and though Tom could make himself proxy it was unwise to do so as Dumbledore would see him dead before allowing him to wield such power so obviously. The two of them did agreed quickly as to who they thought best to make proxy of the seats, as well as the Slytherin seats which as Lord and Heir Nathiar and Tom had claim to, Lucius. Lucius was the natural choice as Lord Malfoy he already sat on the Wizengamot and was a master in the politics of the Wizarding world.
Also after learning of what he would inherit Nathair learned that Dumbledore, the Dursleys and most of the Weasley family had been stealing money and valuable heirlooms from his vaults. The only members of the Weasley family that weren't stealing were Charlie and the twins, Fred and George. While the three of them did have vaults set up in their names with large sums of money in them from Nathair's vaults, they hadn't been touched, each had the same amount of money in them that had been transferred into it when it was opened. Tom had immediately ordered all the stolen money, and heirlooms be returned, and all of the accounts except for the new vault he had opened for Nathair be sealed until Nathair was of age to inherit them. Though at Nathair's insistence the twins, and Charlie's vaults were left untouched, with explicit instructions that only the twins, and Charlie be allowed to remove money, and that Tom be notified right away if their were any changes to any of the vaults.
"Are you ok to go and finish our trip?"
"I think so, everything is just so shocking. I had no idea I would be inheriting so much. And while it's not so surprising, I'm still shocked at what Dumbledore and the Weasley's were doing, though Dumbledore had taken more money and heirlooms than any of the others. I am happy that Charlie, Fred, and George weren't using the vaults that they were given. While I think I always knew something was off about Ron and Hermione, Fred and George kind of took me under their wing, they were always making sure I was okay. And after I met Charlie after the dragon thing, we were able to exchange a few letters. And I know the Twins and him were real close, closer to each other than their other brothers."
"What's this about a dragon?" Asked Tom suddenly looking a little stunned.
"Oh that's right, you don't know," said Nathair sheepishly as he looked down at his empty ice cream dish. "Well you see Hagrid got a dragon egg for some random guy he knew and he hatched it, so I went along with Ron and Hermione's plan to sneak it out of the castle. You see Charlie works on a dragon reserve in Romania, so Ron wrote to him and he and a few friends came to the castle in the middle of the night to get the dragon. That's how we all got sent into the forest for detention. We might have gotten away with it but Draco was wandering the halls looking for us, and went to McGonagall, who gave us all detention."
"I see why you weren't friends with Draco now. But why in the world would you deal with a dragon, even a newly hatched one?"
"I seemed like a good idea at the time."
"Well as you've finished your ice cream why don't we go to get your clothes," Tom said as he stood up and sent their dishes back to the counter.
Following Tom they headed to Twilfitt and Tattings, which was a more expensive clothing store than Madam Malkin's. Walking in they were immediately met by a young lady.
"Welcome to Twilfitt and Tattings, how may I help you today," she asked them.
"Yes, I would like a full wardrobe for my son, formal clothes, robes, shoes, and other necessities."
"Ok, if you would step through here and stand on the pedestal like stool so I can get your measurements."
As Nathair stood on the stool a tape measure popped out of nowhere and ran all over him stopping for a few seconds as it stilled in one place then moved on to another.
"Alright now that I have your measurements you can step off. Is there anything in particular you would like?" Asked the lady as she tucked her wand back in her long bright blue flowing robes.
"He will need at least six formal robes, and eight casual. As well as formal and casual pants, shirts, shoes, pajamas, and undergarments. At least a dozen of each and five or so pairs of shoes..." Looking over at Nathair to see if he had any objections, seeing none Tom said," I think that's all."
"Any particular colors that you would like, or ones that you don't want?" She asked as she jotted down the information.
"Most of them should be in blacks, grays, blues, and greens. No red, no matter what, no yellow, orange, and I suppose some browns and purple would be ok," Nathair said.
"And is there a particular date you need any of this by?"
"No, but if it's possible I would like it done before the end of the week."
"Alright if you would follow me." She took them back out front and to the checkout desk. "Alright would you like to pick this up, or owl delivery?"
"Owl will be fine," said Tom.
"Alright, that will be seventy eight galleons." Tom pulled out his new Gringotts card that he got at the bank before he left. It worked like a muggle debit card, so you didn't have to carry around pounds of galleons to do your shopping. And it only worked if the person or persons who owned the vault were using it, it had a spell on it to recognize the owners magical signature, to prevent anyone stealing the card and spending the money.
"Thank you for shopping at Twilfitt and Tattings, your order should be done by Friday. Have a nice day."
After leaving Twilfitt and Tattings, they headed to Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions for some less formal wear, casual robes and all kinds of muggle styled clothes.

"Can we stop by Flourish and Blotts? I wanted to get a few books while we were here. I know that the manor has a huge library, but I wanted to look around and see if I could find anything interesting."
"That's fine, we have plenty of time. I'll go in with you. I could use the new Ancient Runes encyclopedia that just came out," Tom said as he steered Nathair through the now more crowded alley.
Once in the store Nathair went one way and Tom headed towards the Runes section.
Nathair on the other hand flitted from one section to the other, picking up any books that caught his attention that he hadn't seen in the Malfoy library.
What seemed like a few minutes later, but was really almost an hour later, Tom came across Nathair going through the large pile of books he had grabbed as he went through the store.
"I see you found some," Tom said lightly as he approached Nathair.
Flushing bright red, Nathair blushed in embarrassment. "I'm not getting all of them, I'm going through them to see which ones I really want."
"Well I can tell you now that these ones are either in the main manor library, one of the smaller ones, Lucius's, or my offices." Tom pulled and set aside almost half of the books.
"Oh, well I definitely want these," said Nathair as he put some books in another plie.
"Common Household Spells for Everyday Use, Cooking With Magic, Runes and Strange Uses for Them, Charms To Be Used On Objects, Potion Ingredients and Their Magical Properties Outside of Potions, and Curse Breaking: A Beginner's Guide. Not a bad selection, some of these I wouldn't have thought to have you read, but I can see the general need for them."
Going through the rest of the books they headed up to the front of the store, paid for their books and left.
"Now we should go to Ollivander's. Unless you want to go somewhere else before we leave the alley?" Asked Tom as he put the shrunken books in his pocket.
"No, I don't want to go anywhere else."
Walking down the alley they soon found themselves in front of Ollivander's. Going in they looked around, not seeing Ollivander anywhere in the store.
"This is certainly a strange sight, the Dark Lord Voldemort, and Harry Potter, though neither one of you are those people anymore. Yew and phoenix feather, holly and phoenix feather, both feathers from the same phoenix. Yours destroyed, and yours is unusable as your present self. Tom, you shall go first."
"I don't need a new one."
"I think you do, you can use wandless magic as much as you like but I can tell you that you will need a new wand," said Ollivander as he pulled out his magical tape measure, which wrapped around Tom as he was about to protest.
Reading the measurements Ollivander disappeared into the towers of wand boxes, returning with a dozen boxes that threatened to fall out of his grasp as he walked them to his counter.
"Yew and dragon heartstring, fourteen inches, rather wispy... No." The wand shattered an ink well.
By the time they had gone through over twenty wands Ollivander had given up on wands he had already made and taken them to his workshop in the back.
"Take your wand hand and stretch it out over the crates of wood, once you find one that gives a little tug at your hand tell me." So Tom waved his wand over each of the boxes of wood, stopping at the eight box.
"Elder... now do the same to the cores over here along this wall," said Ollivander as he grabbed a piece of elder.
"Ground ashwinder egg... that's very unstable for a wand core. Do the same but only over the vials of liquid."
"Dragon blood, from a opaleye, if I'm not mistaken. It will take a few hours to put your wand together, why don't we find young Nathair's wand then if you would like to go and get lunch, I can have it done when you come back."

"Hawthorne and mermaid blood, twelve inches... Evergreen and werewolf venom, fifteen inches... Cherry and dragon scales, ten inches, good for chrames... Cedar and runspore venom... Elder and unicorn hair... Maple and basilisk scales." The slightly red colored wand sent up a shower of golden sparks. "Maple and basilisk scales, fourteen and a half inches springy and good for defensive and offensive spells. Normally they aren't a good match for each other, but I can tell that this wand is a good match for you... That will be eight galleons."
"And a wand holder as well," said Tom as he pulled out his Gringotts card.
"Then it will be ten galleons."
Paying for the wand and the wand holder Tom and Nathair headed towards the Leaky Cauldron for lunch. Walking into the tavern they sat in one of the back booths, as they sat down two menus appeared on the table.
Looking over the menu Tom decided on a roast beef and cheddar grilled sandwich with a side bowl of chicken dumpling soup, and a bottle of butterbeer. Nathair chose a turkey deli sandwich, crisps, a side of chicken dumpling soup as well, and a butterbeer at Tom's insistence that he would like it. Taping his wand on what they both wanted Nathair sat back and waited for the food to come, which popped onto the table a few seconds later.
He was right, Nathair thought as he finished his lunch, saving most of the butterbeer until the rest of his food was gone, so he could enjoy the creamy flavor of butterbeer.

"Elder, dragon blood, and Ground ashwinder egg. Fifteen inches, very flexible," said Ollivander as he handed over the newly made wand. It's dark wood gleaming in the candlelight, very contrasted from his original wand which was a pale white. This one was twisted like a branch as well which was very unusual as most wands were straight. "That will be ten galleons, twelve if you want a wand holder as well as the wand."
Paying Tom and Nathair headed for the apparition point and apparated back to Malfoy manor.
