Chapter 9 Knockturn Alley Part Two
"Wow" was all that Harry could say
Boris was still looking at the wand, he looked like he had seen a ghost, "Itt uhh it neverr did that before" said a white faced Boris.
"Ya well, it seems your Chinese friend was right, made by a thunder bolt for a child marked with the sign of a thunderbolt" said Harry in a joking manner to reduce the tension in the air
"Maybe" replied Boris in a serious tone.
It took Harry fifteen minutes of talking to Boris and three shots of fire whisky that Boris asked from Harry to get from under his table to calm the man down. Once he had regained the color back in his face Harry spoke "Well can I keep this wand"
Boris was looking at him as if he was crazy "Of course you can keep it, it was obviously meant for you, we just have to put your blood in the core and it will be permanently bonded to you."
Harry nodded while admiring his new wand and asked, "How do we do that"
Boris motioned for Harry to pick up a dagger from one of the walls then told him to prick his finger and drop the blood on the emerald on the top, the emeralds in the wand glowed again, but not for soo long like the last time, and Harry's blood was absorbed and no evidence was left of it ever being there in the first place.
"Well that's that Harry, you have yourself a powerful wand at your disposal, I don't know much about bonded wands, I heard from one book that the bonded wand is more powerful than other normal wands, the more powerful the witch or wizard, the more powerful the wand becomes, no other person can use the wand other than the bonded, if lost you can mentally call it to yourself, even when disarmed magically, but I think you should practice that bit to get used to it."
Harry was more and more impressed with the wand in his hands, his previous wand paled in comparison to this one, so he decided from now onwards this will be his primary wand, while the other would become his secondary. He replaced this wand in the wand holster in his arm while he put his earlier wand in his leg holster.
"Well Harry look around the shop for anything else you might be interested in"
Harry nodded and started looking around.
He found some fascinating daggers, which he liked and asked Boris for them to be kept aside; he saw some rings and earrings on a shelf and asked if they had any magical properties.
"Why yes, for example this red ring glows whenever there is a poisonous potion nearby, the green one helps to improve stamina, the blue gives a little boost in the bodies magical healing capabilities, the fang earring next to it improves ones hearing capabilities, if one concentrates on a conversation, pretty useful to listen to when people are whispering" at this Boris winked at Harry
"Well I definitely want the fang earring then, and all three rings, though is it possible to make them invisible, because I would look a little girly wearing them, and I already have my family ring." Harry showed him the ring
"That's no problem, they come with that option, so that you can only see them when they have activated, for example if you are about to have a drink which is laced in poison the ring will start glowing on your hand, and do anything to get your attention, even try to send a current."
Harry got his ear pierced, and wore the rings, Boris taught him how to use the fang, and Harry found it extremely useful, he could even hear some mumbling coming out from outside the shop, and he can choose to ignore it if he wanted.
It's a better version of the twins extendible earsThe daggers he choose were six in number, two long, two medium, and two short, he asked Boris to enchant them so that a wound inflicted by them could not be fixed magically. He put the long ones in his boots, and the others in his robes.
Boris asked Harry if he needed a watch, since he didn't notice one on his wrist. Harry agreed since he broke his watch during his fourth year he hadn't replaced it yet.
"This is one of my own creation Harry, and I have a feeling you are going to like it" Boris took out a box; from it he took out a pocket watch. To Harry it looked quite normal though it was carved very well on the outside with runes and a phoenix in flight, and seemed to be made out of platinum.
"Well it's a beautiful watch Boris but what's soo special about it?"
Boris smiled and opened the face of the watch, it still looked quite normal, he then asked Harry to hold it. Harry closely examined the watch noticing that there were many buttons on the side of it, he inquired what they were for, and Boris gave a knowing smile and said "Try it out for yourself"
Harry tried the first button, and felt a tug behind his navel indicating a port key, he landed two feet to his right, his eyes were wide as saucers and looked at Boris for explanation, Boris asked for the watch back and answered while pointing to each button, "The one that you pressed is an inbuilt port key that you can use after you enter the coordinates, you can store up to five locations permanently at one time, the second button is my favorite it brings up a radar which sweeps the area for death eaters or any other magical signature you have stored in the watch"
Boris showed him how to store and browse through the port key functions, and then showed that if the watch is near a magical signature that you want to follow, how that can be entered and stored, and death eater signatures were already stored because they have a common magical signature that is the Dark Mark.
"This little button is a disillusion charm, but sadly it can only stay on for minimum three minutes after that it needs fifteen minutes to recharge." Boris pressed the button and he vanished before Harry, but you could still make out where he was standing if you tried to concentrate hard on looking for him, one of the defects of the charm.
Harry asked the watch to also be added to his shopping list, then remembered something important which he had been meaning to do for a long time.
"Boris do you have any idea how one can fix their eye sight, or somewhere where I can get some magical lenses."
"Well I do have a potion that will fix your eyesight permanently, but " Boris didn't know if he should continue.
But Harry didn't care, if he could fix his eyesight then his glasses wouldn't be a liability in battle, "No I don't care what the problem is I want my eyesight fixed"
Seeing Harry determination Boris went to his storeroom and brought back a muddy colored potion "Take this before going to bed and place silencing charms on your room, because this potion really hurts, it is actually going to destroy your existing optic nerves and then build new ones."
Harry had lived through the pain of a Cruciatus, How worse of could it be
"Anyways I have some magical contacts if you want, ones like hit wizards use", to answer Harry's confused face he continued "Ones that see through objects, though you have to practice to get used to it"
Then realizing something like Moody has, Harry asked if he could see them.
They were contact lenses, which when putting on your eyes would sting you a little, but then it would seem like they were never there in the first place, and once applied they didn't need to be removed.
It took Harry fifteen minutes to get used to them, because the moment he would try and see through walls, he would see the skeletal structure of the people outside, slowly and slowly he learned to see what he wanted to see with the right amount of concentration.
"Harry it would be better if you didn't tell anyone you had one of these, they are illegal for civilians to possess or use, only certified law enforces with a special certificate granted from the Ministers office can wear them"
Harry nodded and asked "Anything else you have Boris which could save my life in future"
Boris laughed and said "Only your will to survive can save ya, these are just tools that I am providing ya with, the weapons lie in your heart"
With that said Harry asked for the total amount to be paid, which came somewhere around 15,000 galleons, because of the number of illegal items Harry was adding to his list.
On the last moment Harry asked if Boris could include some useful potions like healing draughts, and truth potions, you never know when they might come handy, he put many of them in his bag with an unbreakable charm.
Harry promised Boris that he would return someday again, and left the shop.
While walking back towards Diagon Alley, Harry was looking at the other shops on the street; most of them were shops selling dark and illegal items, some were normal books shops, there was even a pet shop, but Harry didn't want a pet right now, Hedwig was enough for him.
One shop caught his eye, it was a shop selling liquor, Harry had tried fire whisky with Boris, and though it burned his throat when he had his first shot, but liked it after another shot. Since he was in a mood of rebelling today, he thought might as well some bottles of fire whisky for nights when he would have trouble sleeping.
Fifteen minutes later, with five bottles of fire whisky and thirty bottles of butter beer, Harry left the shop to continue walking towards the exit.
He saw it was already four in the afternoon, and decided he would check out the other shops when he would come next week to pick up his clothes and trunk.
A particularly tiring walk through Knockturn Alley, then through Diagon Alley, and passing through the Leaky Cauldron, Harry found himself in the main streets of London. Taking off his hood because no one would recognize him in the muggle world, Harry started to walk towards an empty alley.
From there he raised his wand and called the Knight Bus, went on his journey back to Privet Drive.
Putting on his invisibility cloak, and then checking who was guarding the house, luckily it was not Moody but only Dung, Harry went through the back door, to his room, and locked himself in there.
Authors Note: Well another done hope you like it… Sorry for my grammatical and spelling mistakes, sometimes I get so lost in the story I don't realize what I am typing, but please keep on mentioning them so I can fix them later. Also for all those who don't know the shipping of this fic let me make it clear, it is going to be only H/G, I am not budging on that, no matter how many people think otherwise, I like her character, and this is what I think J.K.Rowling is thinking of doing, if you feel otherwise, I am sorry there is nothing I can do.
Please read and review!
