**A/N**

Hey guys thank you so much for your reviews. And I have to warn you that I absolutely fell in love writing a character out at the end of this chapter, so please tell me what you think. I really like this chapter and I hope you will too

"Still favoring Slythrien outside of school Timmy? Maybe I'll see about entering this European Championship tourney...could be good fun you know." Said Harry to a now furious Snape.

"I favor no one, it is not my fault that Gryffindor's are helpless. And as much as it would please me to see Malfoy wipe the floor with you in Paris, you have to place 1st,2nd, or 3rd in a country championship to be invited. Sorry Potter but no more fame this time." Snape said quite proudly that Harry would not be able to compete.

"Will see about that Timmy, my name does carry some weight. Perhaps I'll send an Owl to the French Minister or Magic. Surly he would want the great Harry Potter to have a chance to represent Europe in the World Cup." Harry said faking the cockiness that he knew drove Snape crazy.

"You will do no such thing Potter or I will make it my personal mission to see that you loose. I trained Draco for months for that tournament, and I didn't do it to have him bested by the likes of a Potter." Snape was now getting red with anger, his eyebrows were lowered and his ears were raised.

"Ha no favoritism huh? Trained alot of Hogwarts students during the summer did you? No? I didn't think so. Look Timmy keep training Draco the tournament in France is in June next year, I'm sure I will find a way to enter and with you training Draco it will be like me besting him and you at the same time." Harry spit now getting a little angry at Snape.

"LISTEN POTT...." he didn't get far as Harry cut him off.

"NO you listen Timmy since my first day in your class you've been a prick to me and my friends, now I am leaving I have shopping to do and I am not going to have a battle or wits with an unarmed man!" Harry finished, drank the last of his tea and left through the back door without another word said.

Harry pulled his school list out of his jeans and gave it a once over.

'Ha Percy wrote a book on OWL review...Hermione is going to be Jelouse' Harry thought to himself as he entered Flourish & Blott's "Hello sunny, shopping for school supplies? Hogwarts eh?" Asked a woman behind the counter.

"Yes mam, could you gather the required text from this list while I browse a bit?" Harry asked the woman knowing that it would take him quite some time to locate all the books on his list.

"Sure kiddo take your time I've got a 5th year set already back here. Do you want the O.W.L. review as well?" She asked eyeing Harry.

"Nah, I've got a human version as a best friend." Harry smiled at the woman and went on his way looking through the hundreds of books. Shelf after shelf he went through looking for some intresting books to add to his collection. He finally saw one that would be able to hold his attention, Quiditch Through the Ages : Hogwarts version by I. Walls, This will be great as long as Ron doesn't steal it from me' Harry thought. He kept on at his search for a while longer before coming up to the lady at the counter with two more selections; Renown Staves & their Wielder, by J. Smithers , and, Concealing the Concieliable, by W. Montegue. "That will do for today, could I pay you and have them delivered to Rm#21 at the Leaky Cauldron." Harry asked hopping he didn't have to lug his load back by hand.

"Sure thing Mr. Potter , Hmmm why the book on Staffs?" she asked oddly

"I was recently gifted one by a friend. It is supposedly quite good, I want to learn a little more about it, and see if the book has any tips on how to fight with it and if the spell casting differs from a wand." Harry replied

"I see Harry, My daughter Jillian wrote that their book sweety...can I tell you a secret Harry?" She asked obviously getting an idea in her head, Harry was also interested.

"Sure Mrs. Smithers, you can trust me." Harry said with a slight whisper.

"My little Jilly Bean hasn't been working since she graduated Hogwarts 3 years ago, She is trying to get a job teaching their, If you would be willing to pay her a bit, I could get her to tell you all about your staff, and teach you how to use it quite well. whata think child?" she asked with a small smile appearing on her face. Harry was exstatict.

"I'll do you one better Mrs. Smithers, I'll Pay her 50 Galleons and see if I can get her an Interview with the Headmaster. How bout that?...is she will agree that is." Harry said glad that he may be able to help.

"Oh I am sure she will, but 50 Galleons is far to much Harry. And how will you get her an audience with Prof. Dumbledore, he is very busy?" she asked not really believing that the 15 year old boy had the favor of the most powerful know wizard alive.

"The fee is fine, and Albus is a good friend of mine. Do you have any Floo mam? Harry asked

"Sure dear, the pot by the fire help yourself." the woman said. Harry walked behind the counter a bit and over to the fire, their he took a very small pinch of floo powder and tossed it into the fire. "Albus Dumbledore." Harry called out. A brief few seconds passed before Dumbledore appeared in the fire.

"Yes what is it? who calls?" Asked the old Prof. "Oh Harry my boy, What can I do for you? Is everything all right?" he asked full of concern.

"Yes sir' everything is fine, I am actually calling to ask a favor Albus.." Harry stuttered a bit still uncomfortable calling the man he respected so much by his first name alone.

"A favor you say?...go on then Harry what is it you request?" Albus asked very quirious, knowing that Harry didn't request things to often.

"A Mrs. Smithers, whom I've recently made aquatinces with informed me that her daughter has been in touch with someone at Hogwarts about employment." Harry waited for Dumbledore to recognize the name and reply.

"Smithers....Smithers.. ah yes young Jill...Ravenclaw prefect. lets see let me pull a file Harry..hold tight for a few." replied Dumbledore but a 'few' was a very 'few' indeed for he continued right away reading from a blue folder with a very lifelike raven on it. "Jillian Smithers, hmm 2nd in her class it seems, quite a knack for Transfiguration and Potions. Ah yes here it is. She has contacted us a few times Harry, you see we have a Potions Master already...and yes I know your opinion of him but few surpass Severus in potions. And as you know their isn't another Witch or Wizard in the world with Minivera's skill in transfiguration." Dumbledore replied smiling at the memory of his former student and now friend.

"Timmy...I mean Prof. Snape is going to be away for very much of the year isn't he Albus. Perhaps she could fill in temporally, untill something more permanent becomes available?" asked Harry hopeing that he would be able to come through for this young woman.

"Ah yes that may work out indeed, tell Jill that I will stop by later this evening to see if we can work something out,...oh and Harry, Severus came into my office fuming about you only a few minutes ago, seems he was so irate that he splinched himself apperating into Hogsmeade. Told me about your appointment with him on the day of your graduation. I am awaiting that day very much Harry..but you mustn't undermined him untill that day comes..are we clear on that Harry?" Albus was chuckling at the beginning of his statement but was quite stern as of the last sentence.

"Yes sir' I always respect him in class and on the grounds sir', I even take his unfair detentions, and the way he take house points from Gryffindor like a ....well nevermind what he's like I get your point Albus." Harry asked still alittle fumed for being told to respect Snape.

"Very well Harry thank you for the call, pass on word to the Smithers for me." Ablus said and with a puff of smoke his head was gone.

Harry went back and relayed the information to Mrs. Smithers, and set up an appointment to learn a bit about Rayden's staff, later that evening Jill would stop by his room at the Cauldron. She was excited beyond belief that her daughter was going to be teaching at Hogwarts, and quickly engulfed Harry in a Mrs. Weasley style hug. "Oh thank you Harry, Oh thank you." She kept repeating.

Harry left after telling her the good news and couldn't wait untill 6 o' clock that night so he could meet Jill. Now that he had his books bought the only thing he needed were some new dress robes, he quickly headed down the street to Madame Malkin's Robe's for All Occasions and entered the store.

"Look little girl you don't have enough money for robes, try that 'resale shop' down the street." A woman in her mid fortes' was yelling at a young girl. The girl was very small, and looked as if she was going to be starting her first year. She was quite scared Harry could see, she had light brown hair, and beautiful green eyes, Harry was instantly reminded of the pictures he'd seen of his Mom's green eyes.

"But..But Mrs. that's all I have, I only just found out I was a witch two days ago and we don't have a lot of money...." she was cut off by the woman.

"Look I don't care okay ...I...Don't ....Care" she sounded out every word as if the girl was deaf. She was now a Inch from the girl's face and yelling at her, obviously not see Harry enter the store.

Harry had seen enough. He pulled his wand and sent white sparks flying at the woman, they weren't powerful just meant to get the woman away."Quit that...what's the matter with you!" Harry shouted

"How dare you pull a wand on me...I'll call the Ministry if you don't put that wand down this instant. she's just a little mudblood girl." the woman smirked at the girl who had no idea that she had just been insulted, but still looked a second away from tears. Harry walked over to the girl.

"Whats your name young lady?" Harry asked as sweetly as he could, while putting a gentle hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

"I'm Isabelle....Isabelle Rapt...Im a Witch.." She said quite proudly and Harry smiled and took a great liking to this little girl.

"Yes, yes you are and a very good one I bet too. Tell me Isabelle Rapt do you have a wand?" Harry asked wanting to make sure this girl had everything she needed.

"No I don't have a wand, and I don't have robes either." she frowned and looked up at the woman who now looked horrified as she caught a glimpse of Harry's scar.

"How much money do you have 'Belle?" the little girl smiled up at Harry when he called her nickname. She then held out her hand to Harry. "Three Galleons? what gives she could certainly buy some school robes with that?" Harry asked the woman who was still slowly walking away from Harry. "Do you think your to good to sell her robes because she's muggle born. My Mom was muggle born and one of the finest Aurours this country has ever seen. My best friend is muggle born as well, school prefect and the top marks that Hogwarts has ever seen.....ever!" Harry was getting really mad at this woman now and knew he had to leave before he ended up hexing her. "'Belle whata ya say we go get you a wand and I'll take you to the nicest robe shop in all of England? my treat." Harry asked still very upset.

"Yeah that would be great, but Mr. why ya being so nice to me ...I don't even know your name." She asked with a great big smile on her face.

"My name is Harry Potter, and it is a pleasure to meet yo..." Harry was cut off by an even bigger smile from Isabelle.

"Your Harry Potter wow...I read about you in Hogwarts: A History! It is an amazing book Harry, it updates on its own the cat lady gave it to me when she gave me my school letter. The last 4 chapters are almost all about you, and you said your best friend had the best marks ever...." she looked almost shy before continuing "Is she Hermione Granger?" Harry looked stunned.

"Yeah 'Belle she is, but how did you read that book so fast, I've seen Hermione's and its huge?" Harry asked really interested.

"Oh I read really fast when I get excited...But your famous, why are you helping me?" She asked frowning slightly thinking maybe that he would run away any second.

"When I was 11 a man came to take me to Diagan Ally, He became my first friend in the Wizarding world...well any world really. 'Belle I would have been so lost and scared without him." Harry paused for a few seconds thinking back to Hagrid. "Plus 'Belle your eyes, well they remind me very much of my mothers." Harry said. Isabelle simply gave Harry a hug. "Now lets go see Mr. Olivander, he makes the best wands." Harry went on.

"Okay Harry which way?" asked 'Belle looking slightly in awe at the shop on Diagan Ally for the second time.

"Right down here." Harry said as they made their way to Ollivander's and came into an empty shop with boxes stacked upon boxes stacked upon boxes as high as the ceiling.

"Mr. Olivander....." Harry called out wanting to get the mans attention. A shorter man with white hair came around from one of the shelves holding 3 boxes in his hand.

"Eh Mr. Potter everything all right with your wand...."Here he stopped and noticed 'Belle. "well I'll be, change the hair on that one Harry and she could be your little sister. Does the little one need a wand Mr. Potter." Mr. Ollivander asked getting as excited as he always did when a new customer was present.

"Yes sir' she is starting her first year in September. Isabelle meet Mr. Olivander." Harry said pointing to both respectfully. Isabelle took a step around the counter and shook Olivander's hand. He smile on at the politeness of the young girl.

"Very well young lady let us see what we have that is worthy of such a polite young woman."

He placed the three boxes he was holding on the counter and went to the back again, when he returned he had five boxes stacked upto his chin. "Here we go then one of these should do." He took the first out of the box and handed it to 'Belle. "This is dragon heartstrings, yew, 10 inches. Go on missy give it a flick." 'Belle took the wand and flicked it at the Puddlemore United poster on the wall, It glowed for a brief second before shattering the picture into millions of tiny pieces. Harry quickly repaired the picture much to the amazement of 'Belle. "Nope definitely not heartstrings. Here we go how about this. Considering young Harry here is the one who brought you in lets try a Phoenix feather, maple, 11 inches." He said while taking another wand out of the box and handing it to 'Belle. She took hold and pointed the wand towards a glass cabinet holding antique wands, it shattered almost instantly. "right apparently not." He said while takeing yet another one from the box. "Unicorn hair, oak , 10 inches." He said handing the wand to her, It blew up upon touching her hand." NO No definitely not, hmmm I wonder..." Mr. Olivander was off in thought.

"This isn't going so great huh Mr. Olivander?" asked a scared Isabelle thinking she had done something wrong.

"Don't you worry about that 'Belle the wand chooses the witch, it's just a matter of finding which wand is lucky enough to be destined for you..but I have an idea..." Mr. Olivander now had a twinkle in his eyes much like Dumbledore's. He went over to the original three boxes he walked in with. "Harry my boy these three are the first of their kind, something I have been trying to perfect for...well I don't know how many years now, but alot. Belle if you would be so kind as to try this for me?" He asked pulling out a wand. It was White all white with an almost shine to it.

"Wow, thats amazing what is it Mr. Olivander?" asked Harry in awe of the new wand.

"It's Mettle Harry, pure adamanite polished until it was white, It has a liquid core Harry, the first to ever be used, Phoenix tears, hmmm actually from a Phoenix your familiar with Harry." Mr. Olivander said

"Fawkes?" Asked Harry

"No Harry. Close, but no." He leaned over the counter and whispered one word into Harry's ear. "....Dumbledore." Mr. Olivander had a grin the size of Hagrid's on his face as he handed the wand to 'Belle who looked almost scared to touch something so beautiful. When she grabbed hold the white on the wand glow an immense white, and so did 'Belle's Aura around her, Red & Gold shot from the tip and when the light faded. Mr. Olivander' wand shop had a new paint job on his ceiling. "Ha Gryffindor colors....perfect...my house when I was in school all those years ago." He said smiling.

"This is it Mr. Olivander how much do I owe you?" asked Harry. 'Belle looked down at her shoes slightly embarrassed.

"Well Harry that is the one of only three wands that will be made like that, quite rare you know. I was going to put them on display when you walked in with the prices marked on these." He handed Harry a slip of folded white paper it read :

New state of the art wand. polished adamanite, liquid core of Phoenix tears, 8 inches. only three will ever be made. starting price 1,000 Galleons. price will increase as they are sold.

Harry's face looked stunned he would pay it of course he had the money, and he could tell that 'Belle was going to be like a sister to him, but the cost still shocked him. He had paid a mere ten Galleons for his wand.

"I'll make a deal with you Harry, Half price if you will watch out for my Great Grandson, Joseph. He starts as a first year. My wife Martha and I were both Gryffindor's but Joseph's Mum and Dad are Ravenclaw so I'm not sure what house he will be in. He's not scared of much though and I have a hunch that he will be a housemate of yours. whata say Harry, 500 Galleons?" Mr. Olivander asked

"Oh that will be great sir, What do you say 'Belle will that wand work for you?" Harry asked to Belle who was still staring at the wand in her hands.

"Oh yeah Harry, I'll cherish it forever and ever...thank you." She grabbed Harry's leg and gave him another one of what was becoming her signature hug.

"Okay we need to get you some robes, and how are you getting home Belle? Harry asked for the first time in an hour wandering if her parents were expecting her.

"I only live right down the street Harry, so I'll walk when were done." She said as they both left Olivander's and headed down the street again.

"Hey 'Belle want to meet someone really special?" Harry asked getting an idea on how they could get to 'Glad Rags" in Hogsmeade, without making the poor girl suffer through floo powder.

"Sure Harry you seem to know a lot of nice people, not like that mean nasty at the robe shop." She said making a face at the memory of the lady.

'icloiri polymio' Harry whispered and Belle let out a shriek as a Ice Golem materialized at her side. With a thought from Harry, Ashley Moore took on her real form.

"Hey Frosty, what can I do ya for?" Ashley asked smiling at Harry face when she called him 'Frosty.

"I want you to meet Isabelle Rapt, Isabelle I want you to meet Ashley Moore." He said making the introductions.

"Wow your really pretty. Nice to meet you Ashley, call me 'Belle or Izzy." Isabelle said looking up at Ashley. Ashley looked flattered by the little girls complement.

"Thank you Izzy, and your very pretty also. What are you doing hanging out with the goofball though?" She asked pointing at Harry still smiling.

"HEY, don't talk bad about Harry!" Izzy screamed causing a few passer-byers to stare. Harry smiled at the little girl sticking up for him.

"It's okay Belle, Ashley's only joking she loves me, just to stubborn to admit it." at this Ash stuck her tongue out at Harry and kicked him in the shin playfully. Isabelle giggled.

"You two are funny.." she said before looking down at her shoe and going on"..And sorry I yelled at you, it's just that Harry is really nice and I don't want anyone talking bad about him." Izzy said looking slightly nervous addressing the older girl. Ashley just smiled

"I know Izzy, and I wouldn't want anyone other than me to talk bad about him either." Ashley said giving Harry a look. "Did you need anything special Harry?" she continued.

"Yeah we need to get to Hogsmeade and I don't want to go by Floo Powder I was hoping you could do that snow thing you do, and take us there?" Harry asked hoping really hard that he didn't have to go by Floo.

"Sure Harry." she said holding out a hand for both Isabelle and Harry to hold onto. With a gust of wind they were gone all that was left behind was three tiny piles of snow that quickly melted away.
