Future Unfolding
Summary: Harry's figured out about magic at a young age. Watch as his life changes and he sees it all. Not traditional Harry. A.U.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Joanne Katharine Rowling owns Harry Potter and there is no way she is giving him to me.
A.N. In case you did not bother to read my A.N. chapter my computer broke. I'm really sorry. Also Harry is not going to get overly powerful before Hogwarts so do not expect him to. He is not getting a wand for a good while either.
Chapter Five Potions and Preparation
Harry's first stop was Pandora's Prime Potions. Luckily for him there was a whole section of potions for disguises. They had ones that made you look similar to famous witches and wizards. There were kinds that just changed your hair length or eye color. Even some polyjuice potion that could turn you into anyone though the time limit was very short.
Harry knew he wanted a several different ones that were long lasting. He picked out two that would darken his skin. One came with brown eye change the other with a very dark blue color. He took three that would give him a slightly more wide face. They didn't come with eye colors. They came with hair changes. One came with shoulder length really straight red hair. The second came with curly brown hair. The last came with wavy dirty blond hair.
He decided to get one more. It would be the most expensive. He needed one to last the first couple of months that he could also remove when necessary. The one he chose was brown hair but a very dark brown that was nearly black. The hair would be long, half way down his back. He would most likely tie it back most of the time. His facial features would soften slightly and his nose would become shorter. His eyes would be an amberish color.
The glamour potions had been his first priority but since he was here he might as well get any other potions he might need. There was one really expensive one that caught his eye. Felix something or other. It was a luck potion. Well with all that was going on in his life right now he could really use some luck. There was also a dreamless sleep potion. That could come in handy. He also picked out a basic potions kit. It was something magical that he could work on without a wand.
A potion to fix his eyes would be good to. He had to special order that though. Harry decided to order that later when he had a permanent address for them to send it to. He would have to live with his glasses for now. Maybe he could at least get better ones tomorrow.
After paying for the potions and the basic potions kit he took his special one. It was so strange seeing himself in the reflection of the shop windows. The potion seemed to have made him a little taller as well. Deciding it had been a long day Harry headed towards a young man. He had bright red hair with a ponytail and might still be in school. After getting the directions to Fersion ally he headed off again.
Arriving at the ally Harry went into Cassies. It was one of the smaller restaurants on the ally. They had a range of Italian and Mexican food. It was rather casual with upbeat music playing. Harry ordered lemonade with enchilada and a small side bowl of spaghetti.
Enjoying the meal especially that he could eat as much as he wanted. He watched and listened to the other people eating. Harry needed to keep an ear out for if people started looking for him. If they did anyway. They never checked up on him at the Dursleys as far as he knew, maybe it would be awhile.
He didn't hear anything so far so that was good. Harry paid for his food and headed towards Marshy inn. They tried to convince him to go home at first thinking he was a run away. He gave them an innocent look and said his parents had gone out for the evening and he didn't want to be home alone. They bought it and he got the room. Feeling guilty about lying to them he gave the concierge a fairly large tip.
He decided to take a bath before heading to bed. The nice warm water made it on of the most relaxing moments of his life so far.
During his bath Harry went over in his mind the different things he had to do once in Potter Manor. He had to somehow get into a nearby school. He also now that he was free from the Dursley's be in the grade he was intelligent enough for. He also wanted to if possible get appliances for the manor. It was an old magical place and magic might mess it up. Maybe he could pay someone to charm it to be magic resistant. He had to get that money together for the Dursleys. Maybe he should send it to them in sickles
Just to spite them. What else, what else. Harry had to set up a mailbox outside the manor grounds to get mail from the school.
His mind weary from all the pondering Harry climbed out of the tub. It was a little awkward since it was a high clawed foot tub and him only being seven. The height which was given by his potion earlier helped some. The rooms he had gotten were actually rather nice. They were clean but with a nicer feel to them than the Dursleys home had ever had.
The bathroom was mostly wooden. The tub had been made of marble. The bedroom was fairly sized with a queen sized bed. The coloring in the room was earthy including lots of browns and greens. There was a desk he didn't really need in the far corner.
Not having any pajamas with him Harry just put his boxers back on. He was annoyed that he had not thought to at least bring his extra cloths he came with to sleep in. But what was done was done and he would have to live with it.
He got one of his books from his trunk deciding to get a little reading done. He chose one about potions since that was all he would be able to for a couple years anyway. Well he could read about the others but not practice it. He could read history or ancient ruins but that just seemed rather boring to him. He knew he would have to at least read about history later though.
He read in bed for awhile mostly about the properties of different ingredients. Around eleven he fell asleep with his head in his book.
A.N. That reviewer that wanted a Harry to be a Basilisk animagus sorry. He will not become an animagus until Hogwarts if at all probably. I still like ideas though so thank you. Thank all of you who have reviewed me. Please keep it up.
