Snape and Shuichi are walking down Diagon Alley towards Gringotts. Before walking in, Shuichi stops to read the warning on the door:

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.

This warning has always amused Shuichi and he would wear a mischievous smile while in the wizard bank. The cart ride to Snape's vault is quick and fun for Shuichi. Snape gets out of the mine cart a bit green in the face. Snape has a moderate amount of money in his vault; enough to support both him and Shuichi.

They leave Gringotts with a large amount of spending money for the day plus a few extra galleons Shuichi 'picked up.' First stop is Ollivanders: Maker of Fine Wands. Snape and Shuichi walk into the musty, old shop.

"Purchasing a wand today," calls a voice from the back room. An old man comes out of the room. "Which is your wand arm?" Shuichi holds his right arm out and immediately a magical tape measure gauges Shuichi. "Hmm...maple, thirteen inches, very sturdy," says Ollivander while handing Shuichi a wand. Shuichi takes the wand and instantly a few shelves explode. Ollivander snatches the wand. "Definitely not. Yew, unicorn hair, supple." Shuichi takes this wand and swings it a bit. A small flower pot on the windowsill breaks. The wand is taken away from him. "We are getting very close. Yew, phoenix tail feather, nine inches, flexible." Shuichi takes hold of the wand and red sparks come from the tip. "Excellent choice. That will be seven gold galleons." Snape pays Ollivander and thanks him.

Snape and Shuichi split up; Snape goes to buy Shuichi's equipment and Shuichi heads to Flourish and Blotts. Shuichi walks into the book store and is instantly greeted by the owner, "Shuichi, I just got the book you wanted in stock, Deadly Dark Creatures by Tom Riddle. Let me grab that for you."

"Thank you," says Shuichi. He picks up The Standard Book of Spells: Grade 1 by Miranda Goshawk, A Beginners' Guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander. He already owns the rest of the required books. Shuichi begins to pay for his items when the owner returns. "You can add it to this." The own nods and sets the Deadly Dark Creatures with the rest of Shuichi's books.

"That comes out to be one galleon and three sickles." Shuichi pays for his purchased items and leaves the store. He finds Snape waiting outside.

"I have some errands to run," says Snape. Shuichi nods and takes the bag Snape was carrying. He watches as Snape disappears down Knockturn Alley.

Shuichi is walking past the ice cream parlor when he hears his name called. He turns to find a giant of a man waving to him. He sighs and walks towards the table.

"'Ello, Shuichi," greets Hagrid.

"Hello," answers Shuichi. He sees a boy with messy black hair and green eyes staring at his ice cream. "I am Shuichi Minamino." He holds his hand out to the boy.

The boy grabs Shuichi's hand in a strong shake and replies, "Harry Potter."

"A pleasure," says Shuichi with an amused smile.

"That's a lot of things yer got there," says Hagrid.

"Hogwarts supplies."

"Yer goin' ter Hogwarts? Didn't know yer was eleven."

"Well...I have to get my robes. Nice meeting you, Harry." With that said, Shuichi heads for Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.

He walks into the store and walks to the back. "Hello, Draco." A pale boy with white blond hair turns his head. Shuichi steps onto the stool waiting for a witch to size him.

"Hello, Shuichi," greets Draco. A witch begins to pin a robe Shuichi just put on himself. "I didn't know you are going to Hogwarts?"

"Apparently nobody does."

"You are done," says the witch sizing Draco. Draco steps down from the stool and turns to talk longer with Shuichi.

"Did you get your wand?" Shuichi nods. "What kind is it?"

"Yew, phoenix ta..."

"Draco," Lucius Malfoy cuts Shuichi off.

"Hello, Mister Malfoy," greets Shuichi.

"Shuichi," says Lucius with a nod of recognition.

"Guess I will see you at Hogwarts," says Draco as he and Lucius leave the store.

Shuichi leaves the robe shop five minutes later. He meets Snape at the Leaky Cauldron and they both eat dinner. Snape and Professor Quirrell talk about the upcoming year.

"I had the p-pleasure of m-meeting Harry P-P-Potter," says Quirrell.

"So the 'hero' is coming to Hogwarts."

Shuichi is uneasy for the duration of the conversation. He smells like a rotting corpse. He wrinkles his nose several times. He stares at Snape, pleading with his eyes that they leave. Snape finally notices Shuichi and ends his conversation.
