Harry grabbed his things. He received a letter from Professor Dumbeldore to go to the leaky cauldron on charing cross road in London.
The Matron of the Orphanage drove him to charing cross then left without making sure he was in the right place.
Harry saw the leaky cauldron and walked right in going to the bartender
Excuse Me sir How do i get to diagon alley? Harry said.
The bartender smiled. He led Harry to behind the leaky cauldron.
Remember three up and two across He said My name is Tom and I'm always here if you need lad Tom tapped a brick with his wand and it quivered. In the middle a small hole appeared. It grew wider and wider. A second later they were facing an archway onto a cobbled street that twisted and turned out of sight. Harry stepped through the archway and looked over his shoulder seeing the archway shrink back instantly into solid wall. The sun shone brightly on a stack of cauldrons outside the nearest shop. Cauldron — All Sizes — Copper, Brass, Pewter, Silver— Self-Stirring— Collapsible, said a sign hanging over them.
Harry walked toward a snowy white building that towered over the other little shops. Standing beside it's burnished bronze doors wearing a uniform was a goblin. Dumbeldore explained in his letter to say he wanted to withdraw from his trust vault. The Goblin was about a head shorter than Harry. He had a swarthy clever face, pointed beard and Harry noticed very large fingers and feet. He bowed as they walked inside. Now they were facing a second pair of doors, silver this time with words engraved upon them:
Enter, stranger but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take but do not earn
Must pay dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours
Thief you have been warned beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
A pair of Goblins bowed him through the silver doors and he was in a vast marble hall. About a hundred more goblins were sitting on high stools behind a long counter, scribbling in large ledgers, weighing coins in brass scales, examining precious stones through eyeglasses. There were too many doors to count leading off the hall and yet more goblins were showing people in and out of these. Harry made for the counter.
Good Morning Harry said I'd like to take a look at my vault.
Name? The goblin said.
Harry James Potter Harry said.
The goblin's eyes widened.
One moment please the goblin said.
A few minutes later he returned.
I'm to escort you to Ragnok himself the goblin said.
Harry followed him to a office.
Harry opened the door.
Is something wrong? Harry asked innocently.
Nothing at all Mr. Potter Ragnok said you are a top client so it warrants a meeting.
Ragnok handed Harry a piece of paper that said.

Harry put the card in the wallet then pocketed it.
Harry continued reading.

Yes Ragnok said it seems so, you'll be able to take control once your Fourteen in the mean time here is the heir ring.
Ragnok produced a box with the Potter logo.
Harry opened it inside was a ring.
The ring was made of gold had a Gryffin on it.
Harry put the ring on it.
He felt the family magic run through him.
if there's nothing else I'll have griphook see you out Ragnok said.
Harry stood outside gringotts thinking what to buy first.
Right i think I'd be best if i get my trunk first Harry said talking to himself.
Harry saw a shop that said trunks and bags for all purposes.
Harry walked in.
A man was at the counter.
How can i help you? He said.
I'd like to buy a trunk? what's the most expensive option?
Very well then the shopkeeper said i have a seven compartment trunk that's featherlight with a library, potions lab, living/dining room, a bedroom, a office, and a bathroom.
I'd like to see it please Harry said.
The shopkeeper went into the back and came back a couple minutes later with a trunk made of a dark wood with silver on the corners, the handle was the same metal as was the clasp.
The shopkeeper showed Harry how to switch compartments.
I'll take it Harry said.
How will you be paying? The shopkeeper asked.
Gringotts card Harry said pulling it out.
Of course, of course. You just have to sign here, he said, indicating a parchment on the counter with a Gringotts seal, "And do you see the rectangle on the right corner? You just need to put the card there, front side down. Harry did as he was told, and a soft green light enveloped the card for a second or two, showing that the items were paid for. The shopkeeper looked at his signature and he gaped at him.
Surprise Harry said smirking.
Harry walked out laughing.
The second store he entered was a clothing store named 'Madam Malkins' where he simply said that he wanted the Hogwarts uniform in the best material she had. He also asked for a whole new wardrobe, in dark tones, preferably green After Madam Malkins had his measurements, it took a little over half an hour to have a complete wardrobe that consisted of seven pairs of black trousers, one pair of dark gray trousers and one pair dark green. He also had three green shirts in different shades, and a black one. He also had two black jumpers, two gray ones, and a green one. He decided to also buy 2 black shirts, 3 grey ones, and a green one. He also bought five robes, one black, two grey, and two green. By the end of it he had more clothes than he had owned in all his life but he was rather satisfied. Putting everything inside his trunk, he opted to go to the apothecary next. After all he knew that he would spend a lot of time in the bookstore, so it would be better to go to the places that would require less time first. The apothecary was his fastest stop, he simply walked up to the counter and told the clerk he wanted three of the first year kits, and in less than five minutes he had everything, simple and effective in his opinion. Then he went to buy parchment, quills and ink. He bought large quantities of the three; he had never written on parchment much less with quills, he had to practice. And finally there were only two things on his list that he had to buy. A wand, that Harry had decided he would get last, and his books. Harry went back to where he saw the bookstore and went in. Fortunately the store wasn't too full and he could look at the books in peace. Harry put all the books he could into his basket. After he had that taken care of he went through the bookstore section by section. He started with the History section, where he bought only two books, one named 'Hogwarts: A History' and another called 'Important events of the last centuries'. Then he went to the section named Defense, where he bought five more books. Two of them talked about the basics of defense, and the other three just seemed interesting. One was about duels, and the other two were about curses, their counters, and shields. In the Charms and Transfiguration section he chose two books, one of each. Not that any others didn't catch his eye, but he doubted that he would be able to understand them. He firmly believed that you had to first completely master the basics before moving on to the advanced stuff. In the Herbology section he didn't buy anything. From what he had seen it wasn't something that would hold his interest and he thought that reading the school book would be enough. In the Potion section he bought five more books, two of them had the basics in them, how to cut, the difference between the different ways to cut the ingredients and all that information. The other three were about ingredients and what reactions they could have together, they also had a number of potions in them that went from medical uses to pranks. In the Astronomy section he didn't chose anything, and when he passed one that said Divination, he didn't even look. Harry firmly believed that people who said they could see the future were liars. He found the Magical Creature section fascinating, and bought several books that caught his attention, mostly because they talked about animals that until that moment he thought were myths, who would have thought that dragons were real? He added to his collection two books on Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, the books taught the basics and explained what was possible to do with that branch of magic. He finished with several books of general knowledge and a few books on rules/laws and day to day knowledge of the Wizarding World and ended his shopping. He had enough books to study and he could always buy more if he needed to. He paid for all his things, put everything inside his trunk, and left the bookstore in search of a wand store. He was curious about these so-called wands, why did wizards use them? Were they all the same? Did all wizards need wands? He had a lot of questions, maybe when he found the store he would be able to obtain some answers. He found the wand shop rather quickly. As soon as he entered the store he felt a shiver go down his spine. The air was saturated with something that Harry could only define as magic.
Good afternoon said a soft voice Harry jumped.
An old man was standing before him, his wide pale eyes shining like moons through the gloom of the shop.
Ah Hello Harry said you must be Mr. Ollivander.
I thought I'd be seeing you soon Harry potter Mr. Ollivander said you have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wand. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy made of willow. Nice for charmwork.
Mr. Ollivander moved closer to Harry. Harry wished he would blink. Those silvery eyes were a bit creepy.
Your father on the other hand, favored a mahogany wand. Eleven inches. Pliable. A little more power and excellent for transfiguration. Well i say your father favored it — it's really the wand that chooses the wizard of course.
You are far too powerful for any old wand but i did make just the staff Mr. Ollivander said.
He went into the back and came back 5 minutes later.
I woke up one night and made this Mr. Ollivander said i wasn't thinking only my hands were moving.
Mr. Ollivander opened the case.
Harry picked it up and it lengthened turning into a staff.
It's got three layers each with a different wood and core Mr. Ollivander said the first layer is snakewood with a basilisk horn, the second holly with the feather of a royal gryphon, and the final layer is yew with thestral hair. At the top sits a pure black onyx.
Harry could feel his magic connecting to the staff.
This i could get use to Harry said he willed his staff to shrink back into a wand and it did.
Mr. Ollivander handed Harry a holster.
It's Free Mr. Potter Mr. Ollivander said as long as i get bragging rights that i made your staff.
Harry chuckled.
Harry attached the Wand holster to his belt and sheathed his wand.
Harry walked out and he wondered how he would get back to the orphanage.
Harry chuckled as he melted into the shadows reappearing in his room.
Harry opened his trunk and started reading.
