Chapter Three- Discoveries and Pets

As Harry crept out of the house clad in a thick winter coat and his invisibility cloak, he thought about what he would need to do. First he would need to get some money. Next go to Flourish and Blotts and buy every book they have on duelling, transfiguration, charms, potions, DADA, curses, animagus transformations, occlumency and legilimency. Then he thought for awhile and decided that he would also study the dark arts, fight fire with fire. So for that he would be going into Knockturn Ally.

As Harry walked into the Leaky Cauldron everyone fell silent, with his black cloak with the hood up Harry guessed he made a very imposing figure.

As he walked towards Gringotts the crowd parted to let him through, something he found highly amusing.
When he arrived at his vault he found that it had more than doubled in size, when he asked the goblin why it simply said, "Mr. Black's will was carried out as ordered." Numbly Harry nodded his head.
After filling his moneybag Harry strode straight for Flourish and Blotts and picked up every book they had on duelling, transfiguration, charms, potions and DADA.
Staggering out of the shop Harry decided that a trunk like Mad-Eye's would also be useful. Spotting one he liked he picked it up and set the password in parseltounge (Salazar). The trunk was password protected, had 8 compartments, never got heavy and shrunk if the owner wanted it to so that it could fit in a pocket. After all this Harry decided he was ready for Knockturn Ally.
The first thing he spotted as he walked down the ally was that is was busier than Diagon Ally. The second thing he noticed was a shop saying 'Dark Creatures' and a beautiful black snake being attacked by 12 wizards.
"STOP." Harry shouted causing 13 pairs of eyes to snap onto him. He heard the snake say, 'excellent more prey, now who to kill first?'
'You won't be killing anyone,' hissed Harry. The men instantly parted before him, gazing in awe and fear. (They think he's Voldemort).
'You speak my language,' said the snake in amazement.
'I would have thought that obvious,' replied Harry.
'I wish to come with you, may I young master?'
'Yesss, do you have a name?'
'A what?'
'It is something that we call ourselves, my name is Harry. Do you want a name?'
'Yessssssss,' replied the snake.
'Very well, what about Salazar? It is the name of one of the founders of my school and a speaker to snakes himself.'
'Thank you.' Harry just nodded. He then turned to the owner and said, "I wish to buy him, how much?"
"Fr-Free, Sir." The man stuttered. His terror just multiplied as the snake slid up Harry's leg and wrapped around his neck.
With that Harry started to walk to Borgin and Burkes, but he stopped. He saw a sign saying 'Tharazul, Maker of Dark Wands.' He swiftly turned and strode towards the store. As he entered he saw an old man, seemingly waiting for him. The man said, "Young master, what can I do for you?"
"I need a wand,"
"Very well, Very well, try this 9 inches, ash, werewolf fur." Harry grabbed the wand and immediately dropped it, the wand had burned him!
"Oh yes young master these wands only allow them selves to be held by their rightful owners. Anyway try this, my most powerful creation, 14½ inches, grenadilla wood with the claw of a demon. Very powerful." As soon as the man touched it, a shower of black and silver sparks instantly shot out. The strange man hissed in pain but handed it to Harry. As soon as Harry touched it a brilliant stream of navy and silver sparks came out and he felt a feeling of extreme power come over him.
"Excellent, just excellent. Well if you have that wand you must have this as well." With that the man held a black box with gold trim.
"What is it?" Harry asked.
"Open it and find out, but open it when you are alone," replied the man.
Unable to wait Harry dashed back to the Dursely's, ignored Vernon's shouting and dashed into his room. As soon as he had the box open a dark shape flew out, he was clad in a dark navy blue robe with silver trim and had a matching cape. The figure spoke, "Greeting, I am Grindlewald."

Well that's all for this chapter, it's a bit longer than the others are but from now on they will start to get much longer. Please review.
