Chapter Three : Shopping
They exited the bank, Harry, Xavier, Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, Severus, Fudge, and Bones, and took a calming breath. "Well I will see you at the Ministry later Lord Potter" Fudge said with a wave as he started to walk towards the Daily Prophet.
"Of course Minister Fudge if I might make a suggession.." Harry said.
"Yes Harry." Fudge asked as he stopped.
"You might wish to have the letter printed as a recent find so poeple will know about this." Harry said while pointing to the letter in Bones' hand
"Of course Harry should I also say where it was found?" Fudge asked.
"No.. Minister that is not necesssary. I only wish that my godfather is not hounded after I retrive him and that letter will put peoples minds at rest about him." Harry stated.
"I will make sure that a special edition of the Daily Prophet goes out with this as soon as possible. Untill later Lord Potter." Fudge said with a wave as he walked to the Daily Prophet office.
"Where to now Harry?" Xavier asked.
"Well what are my abilities? We can get anything I need to help learn how to control them." Harry asked.
"Kitsunes are naturals with plants so I suggest that herbology store." Kurama said.
"And Sethras are naturals at potions so we are going to the Apothecary and the cauldron shop." Severus said.
"Hn, I will teach you how to use a sword and make wards you may need those." Hiei stated.
"So I guess that we are going to the Armory to get a sword for me." Harry said.
"I will teach you street fighting and hand to hand Youkia style." Yusuke said.
"Uhm.. Harry now that you are emancipated you might want to keep your wizard training up and you should get some extra books because I can not tell you what your mutant powers are yet." Xavier stated.
"Ok we will start at Flourish and Blotts and work are way from there." Harry said.
They walked in to Flourish and Blotts and Harry said "Look around, if you find something that I might need please pick it up." They went in seperate directions. Severus headed to the potions section and pick out several books that his son did not have from school. Kurama found the Herbology section and picked out alot of books that Harry would have to look though to make sure that he did not have them already. Hiei found a section on wards and picked up some books from there and found a small section on sword fighting for wizards and picked up two books that were the most helpful, on his way back to the front he found a very small section on demons and decided to get one of these books. Xavier found the section on mind magic and other lost arts and picked up most of the books there the only ones he left in fact were copies of the ones he pick up and with the books floating behind him he went to the front of the store. Yusuke found the magazine rack and was looking though them while the others were getting books. Harry went straight to the defence section and started to pull out some very advanced books for himself when he had gottin' about twenty books he went up to the front.
"Well it seems that we are all here." Harry said while he looked at the books that everybody got. "Uhm...Kurama I already have that herbology book." Harry said as he pionted to 'One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi' that Kurama had in his hand.
"That is ok Harry I did not know what you already had so I picked up afew." Kurama explained as he put the book back on the shelf.
"Harry this is alot of books. Do you think you can afford all of them?" Xavier asked.
"Well... I will check my statement that I got from Gringotts when I got my gold card." Harry said as he opened up the piece of parcment. "UUUUhm... I can afford this and the shopping that we were planning. Bloody Hell I could buy all of Diagon Alley and still have enough left over to never work, ever!" Harry exclaimed.
"Oh...well I was worried that we may have over done it in here but now I do not feel bad about getting all these books for you." Xavier said as he pionted to the hovering books behind him.
Severus looked at the books that Xavier got and said "It seems that you gutted 'the mind magic and other lost arts' section. Very good I was going to go to that section next if noone got some books from there."
"Hiei did you get a book on demons?" Kurama asked.
"Yes, I thought that we can see how close the wizards are to understanding us." Hiei stated while holding up a book called 'Demons : Were to Find Them, How to Identify Them, and How to Stop Them'. They all had a good laugh at this.
"Someone get Urameshi out of the mags. and we will go to the next stop after I pay for these." Harry stated while waving to the books. Harry paid with his new gold card and left the store.
"Well Harry were to next?" Severus asked.
"Well the Apothecary and Herbology shops are right next to eachother. So how about I go into the herbology shop with Kurama and dad, you can get my potions ingrediants from the Apothecary sence if I can not trust my father, the potions master, to get what he thinks I would need then I can not trust anybody. Ok!" Harry said.
"Ok my son. Though some of the potions ingrediants that I wish to get for you can only be found in Knockturn Alley so we will have to go there after Diagon Alley." Severus said. As they started to cross the street...
"Harry!" a voice shouted. They stopped and turned toward the enterance of the alley and saw Molly Weasley making her way to them. She quickly grabbed Harry in a bone crushing hug as if she had found a long lost relative. "Where have you been? What got in to you ? Why did you leave?" Molly asked.
"Uhm..Molly he can not answer if you do not let him go." Severus said.
Molly released Harry and said "Well..."
"To answer your last question, I found out that I have special powers that can not be trained here so I am going to go where I can get training and I have been here most of the time." Harry stated. "Mrs. Weasley may I introduce the poeple that I will be training with. This is Headmaster Charles Xavier, Kurama, Hiei, and Urameshi. This is Mrs. Weasley she practily adopted me." Harry said.
"Hello it is very nice to meet you." they all said at the same time.
"Minerva was with me I think she went to get Dumbledore." Molly said.
"I wish she had not, I really did not wish to see that lieing old man at all today." Harry said.
"Harry how could you say such a thing. Dumbledore only wants you to be safe." Molly said.
"Molly if you knew what we just found out you would call Dumbledore far worst then My Son has. I have always wondered what he was lieing about when he was speaking to me. Now I know." Severus stated.
"What do you mean you knew he was lieing?" Harry asked.
"That is another of our family abilities. We are natural Truth Sayers. Noone can lie to us without our knowing it." Severus said to his son.
"Son... How... I mean when did you find out about that?" Molly asked.
"I found out at the meeting when a letter that I should of gottin' right after the Potters death was delivered to me." Severus stated.
Just as the discussion was getting heated Minerva and Dumbledore came into the alley. "Harry I am very disipionted in you..."Dumbledore started to say.
"Shut it old man, the only reason that you are not being arrested right now is because I talked Fudge out of it. You knew that I am immune to the killing curse but you put me with those poeple anyway. Did you know how they treated me I will tell you. They beat, starved, and treated me like a slave. All because you put me with them. I do not want to hear from you. I am going to finish my shopping with my father and my relatives and you are not going to stop me." Harry stated.
"How did you get the will unsealed?" Dumbledore asked.
"That is another thing. You knew my mother's wishes. That will should have been read to me when I turned eleven but you had it sealed. Thankfully a blood relative supercedes a nonblood gaurdian or I may never have found out about your lies." Harry said. During this Minerva and Molly were staring at the group with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Dumbledore how could you, You know how much Lily ment to us how could you dismiss her last request like that." Minerva said. Just as Molly was opening her mouth to talk the special edition of the Daily Prophet arrived.
Black Not Guilty
Minister Fudge has just entered the Daily Prophet office and informed us here of the grave injustice that had befallen Sirius Black. "I do not know how this could have happened but I will not rest untill I know." Minister Fudge said. As you know three years ago Black escaped from Azkaban and we were certain he was going after Harry Potter at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now we know the truth about who he was after and we wish to appalogies to Sirius Black for our misstake. Bellow is a letter that was resently discovered by the Ministry.
To Whom it may Concern:
If you are reading this then we are dead.We changed our secret keeper from Sirius Black to Peter Pettigrew without telling anybody so Sirius could lead everybody away from Peter while he hid. Peter Pettigrew was the Deatheater in our midsts and you should not stop looking for him until you can account for his body. We would not put it past him to stage his own death to hide himself. Me and my friends were unregisterd Animaguses, I was a stag and Peter is a rat with a fat wormlike tail.
From
James and Lily Potter
We asked Minister Fudge about the time before Blacks escape and he told us about giving Black a Daily Prophet to read. We looked though our back issues and found the issue that Black had got. On the front page of that issue is a picture of the Weasleys and in the pocket of the second youngest Weasley is a rat that we now believe to be Pettigrew in his animagus form. According to Harry Potter, Pettigrew will be unmistakable for he is now sporting a silver hand/paw. If you see Pettigrew contact the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic.
Everybody was shocked. Minerva turned to Dumbledore and asked "Albus did you know about this?"
"Well... It was for the greater good..." Dumbledore started to say.
"The greater good, how could you Albus?" Minerva asked.
As they were starting to argue Harry interupted. "As much as I would love to watch you chew out the old man I have some shopping to finish before I leave to America, Professor McGonagall." Harry said.
"Of course, Harry. I hope you will come back to Hogwarts in September." Minerva said.
"I will see. I am not certian if I want to come back but I will see." Harry said.
"What about letters to your friends Harry?" Molly asked.
"I do not know, America is to far for Hedwig to fly." Harry said.
"If I might make a suggestion, Harry can write to his friends and I can have Logan fly Hedwig here to deliver them, but the return letters will have to be written out before hand for immediate pick up." Xavier said.
"Oh thank you Headmaster Xavier." Harry said.
"That is no problem Harry and please call me Professor X, everybody at school calls me that except for Logan and I think he may be five times my age so I do not mind." Xavier said.
"Ok Professor X, now how about we finish our shopping." Harry said.
They left the order members to their bickering and got to the Apothecary and Herbology shops. "Ok dad you go and get my potions supplies and I will come pay for them in about half an hour." Harry said to Severus.
"Ok son but do not be late we need to finish this soon." Severus said.
"Ok Kurama lets go." Harry said on his way into the Herbology shop. "What should I pick up Kurama?" Harry asked.
"Well we will not know which plants you have an affinaty for untill your powers are unsealed so we will pick up alittle of everything." Kurama said as he started to pick up seeds from the shelves. They had finished in the Herbology shop in twenty-five minutes and Harry went to the Apothecary to pay for the supplies that his father pick out for him.
"Where to next." Kurama asked.
"Well dad said something about cauldrons and with all this stuff I should get a new trunk. The cauldron shop is right next to the trunk shop so we will go there next." Harry stated. When they got to the trunk and cauldron shops Harry said "Dad you get the cauldrons that you feel I need and I will get a new trunk and meet you in half an hour to pay for the cauldrons."
"Ok son you do that but be quick about it." Severus said.
Harry went into the trunk shop and found the clerk. "I need a multicompartment trunk." Harry said.
"Ok sir if you will follow me." the clerk said as he walked into the back room. "As you can see we have many multicompartment trunks. What are you wishing to do with your trunk?" the clerk asked.
"I am hoping to get a trunk that I can setup as a potions lab, a library, and a training room. Do you have a trunk that I can do that with?" Harry asked.
"Yes sir we have a trunk with that type of capacity. It is our delux model trunk it has seven compartments, the first three compartments are standard trunk size but the last four compartments are rooms that measure fifty feet cubed sir they are unfinished so you can make them anything you wish sir." the clerk said.
"That is prefect how much does it cost?" Harry asked.
"It costs five hundred galleons sir" the clerk said. Harry pulled out his gold card and bought the trunk.
Harry went next door to the cauldron shop and asked "Dad are you done picking out the cauldrons that I need?"
"Yes son you just have to pay for them." Severus answered. Harry paid for the cauldrons and pulled out his new trunk.
"We can put all the stuff we got in the first and second compartments." Harry said.
They put all the bags in the trunk and Yusuke asked "Are we done yet?"
"No, we still have to go to the Armory and Knockturn Alley. Dad is Parseltongue one of our kinds abilities?" Harry asked.
"It is if one is a female but to be a male Parselmouth is very rare for our kind. Oh... You are a Parselmouth of course my son I almost forgot we should get you a snake to train with and I know of a place in Knockturn Alley that sells some of the best snakes." Severus answered.
"Well the Armory is at the enterance of Knockturn Alley so we will stop there and then go to Knockturn Alley." Hary said
They entered the Armory and looked around at all the swords and daggers. "May I help you gentlemen?" the clerk asked.
"Yes, I have need of a sword. My great grandfather is going to teach me the finer points of swordsmanship." Harry said.
"Well with wizard swords like with wands the sword chooses the wizard so I would suggest that you concentrate on your magic and feel around untill you feel a pull." the clerk said. So Harry closed his eyes and concentrated untill he felt a pull to the far left. He walked over to the pull and opened his eyes to a bare wall.
"Uhm... sir I think you might be mistaken I followed the pull to a bare wall over here." Harry said.
"Sir I assure you that I am not mistaken. Let me take a look at that bare wall." the clerk said. The clerk looked at the wall for a few moments and said "Sir I will have to get the owner for your sword." and he walked into the back.
"I am Blackwood, my assistent said that you felt the sword pull from that wall." said a dark, muscled man in his mid forties.
"Yes that is were the pull led me." Harry answered.
"Hmm... We might have a problem that sword that you are pulled to is a very dangerous sword many have tried to possess that sword but they have died shortly after grabbing it." Blackwood said.
"Hn, my great grandson does not have to worry about that human just reveal the sword." Hiei said.
"Human. Hm... may be you are the one for that sword." Blackwood said and took out his wand and removed the barrier to the sword. The sword was an old rusted katan that was not very good to look at but with the barrier down Harry could not resist the pull the sword had on him, as he got closer he could feel the swords need for him to use it to protect. As his hand closed over the handle a brite light engulfed the area. When everybody could see again Harry held a huge sword in his hands.
" It is called the Tetsaga and you are the first person to hold it in over five hundred years." Blackwood said.
"It feels prefect how much do you want for it?" Harry asked.
"If you can hold it then you are wecomed to it the sheath is in there with it." Blackwood said.
"Oh.. Thank you." Harry said as he sheathed his new sword. "Great grandfather do you feel a pull?" Harry asked Hiei.
"Hn, Yes I do." Hiei said
"Then pick it out I will pay for it as a thank you for the bank and here." Harry said.
"It is that one up there the katan." Hiei pointed.
"This is the fire katan a very powerful weapon." Blackwood said as he pulled down the sword. Harry pulled out his gold card and paid for the sword.
At the Apothecary in Knockturn Alley "Dad you can get my supplies I would rather not have to go in there" Harry said.
"Why not son?" Severus asked.
"It stinks worse then the one in Diagon Alley." Harry answered.
"Well if you breath in though your mouth then it should not be to bad." Severus said.
"That only makes it worse dad."Harry stated.
"Very well I will go in and pick out what we need and you can come in to pay for the supplies in half an hour." Severus said.
"Ok dad." Harry said. An half an hour latter Harry went in to pay for the supplies his father looked very angry.
"What is wrong father?" Harry asked after they had left the Apothecary.
"I just found out that atlest one of the Sacred Snakes are in England and we have to find her." Severus said.
"What is a Sacred Snake dad?" Harry asked.
"They are specially breed cobras that gaurd the repository of Sethra. They are the size of pythons with blue skin, purple markings and saphire blue eyes. We have to find her." Severus said.
"Do you know were to start looking? Who might know were the Sacred Snake is?" Harry asked.
"I have an idea about who but getting an answer for him is like getting a gold egg for a mother dragons nest." Severus said.
"Oh... Professor X, I know you might not like this but would you be willing to scan the surface of someones mind if we brought up snakes to see if he has or knows were the Sacred Snake is?" Harry asked.
"It is against my principles but for this I will but only a surface scan." Xavier said. Afew minutes latter they entered a shop deep in Knockturn Alley.
"Ah... Severus how may I be of assistence?" an oily man asked.
"I am looking for a very special snake." Severus said.
"I am afraid what you see is all I have." the man said.
"He has the Sacred Snake and knows were the other three are." Xavier said.
"Thank you, So all I see is all you have." Severus said as he glided up to the man.
"Ok I have two snakes in the back but they are very dangerous." the man said and he led them to the back. In the back in an encloser was the Sacred Snake.
"Hello beautiful one. I will get you out of here so you can resume your duties." Harry said to the snake.
"You speak the first tongue but you are male and you know of my duty. How?" the snake asked.
"My father is part Sethra and I am part Sethra your duty is to protect the repository of Sethra, my father said, so I will free you to your duty." Harry said to the snake.
"You are right about my duty. Does your father speak as well?" the snake asked.
"No he does not speak as I do but I can talk to beautiful beings like you and he can not." Harry said.
"Son I might not speak the language but I do understand it so stop flattering the Sacred One please." Severus said.
"Yes dad." Harry said.
"So were are the rest of them?" Severus asked the man.
"They are still in stasis at my place it will only take me a minute to get them here." the man said.
"Then get them." Severus said. The man left to get the other snakes and Harry opened the enclosure that held the first snake.
"Come along beautiful one let us leave here." Harry said.
"Why do you call me beautiful one?" the snake said as she left the enclosure.
"You did not tell me to call you by anything else." Harry said. After releasing the Sacred Snake Harry went over to the other enclosure and looked in to see a baby basilisk with a blindfold on its eyes. "Hello little one." Harry said.
"Who are you? you speak but you smell like the bad one." the basilisk asked.
"The bad one?" Harry asked.
"The one that opens my mouth and puts things on my teeth." the basilisk said.
"Father what does he mean by that?" Harry asked.
"He means that that man has been milking his venom. This basilisk can not be more then a year old." Severus said.
"Oh... If you promiss not to hurt anybody with your eyes I will take the blindfold off of you and get you out of here." Harry said to the basilisk.
"I will close my first eyelids that will make me safe to others." the basilisk said. Harry reached in to the enclosure and removed the basilisk's blindfold and brought the baby out of the enclosure. When Harry had the snake out he saw many open sores around the snake's mouth.
"Dad do you have a potion that will heal his mouth?" Harry asked.
"Lets see, yes this should heal those right up. Just put it on like a salve." Severus said as he handed over a potion bottle. Harry started to rub the potion into the snake's mouth.
"This will make you all better little one." Harry said.
"Thank you my name is Gaara. I like you can I stay with you?" Gaara asked.
"If you wish Gaara you can stay with me as long as you do not hurt anybody." Harry said.
"Both of those snakes are very integent. I think one of them may be telepathic." Xavier said.
'That would be me' the Sacred Snake thought spoke to everybody in the room. Just then the man returned with the other Sacred Snakes in crystle urns.
"Here they are. Now as to the price..." the man started to say.
"Price! You dare ask us to pay after you have milked them for their venom and what were you going to do when the basilisk got to be to big for this room?" Harry stated.
"He was going to kill it in two more years just like the last one." Xavier said.
"WHAT! Like the last one. You raise them then kill them. You are despicable." Harry stated.
"There are two very deadly snakes in here and I am a Parselmouth, so I would suggest that you step out of my way before I tell them that they can bite you." Harry said.
"Of...course...sir..." the man said as he moved to the wall away from the door.
"Can you pick up the other Sacred Snakes so we can go?" Harry asked as he headed out the door. "Next stop the Ministry." Harry said as they exited the shop.
