They walked out of the wand crafters shop and turned to face each other.
"So, what is the plan now Harry?" Nev asked turning to face him
Smiling "Now we go shopping. Nev I need you to go to the apothecary and get 3 full masters worth of supplies and potion brewing equipment. I know you don't like potions which is why you also need to go to the green house shop and get as many plants as you think will be helpful to us. We are going to be needing things that will help us go further than Hogwarts normally trains its students. Here is a money pouch it is keyed to one of my older vaults so it has plenty. To handle everything, you want to get."
Neville had a look on his face like every dream had come true and Christmas had come early. Turning to Hermione "Now you I need to got to the book shops in both alleys and get every book you think we can use including any that reference any laws that have been written recently that we might need to know about. Though before you both go on this epic adventure, we need to do one thing."
Hermione look curiously at him but it was Neville who voiced the question "What is that Harry?"
"We need to get new trunks to store everything in so we can get it back to school, and we also need to get new robes that hold our crests on them for when our houses are made known to everyone."
Hermione smiled "At least you are trying to make a plan."
Neville on the other hand "How would we ensure that the shop keeper doesn't speak of us, you and I are the only ones who can claim the headship to our houses Harry."
"I was thinking oath."
Neville looked pensive; Hermione smirked "That should do."
So, they quickly went to the trunk shop.
Once entering the store there was an older couple sanding at the counter. They both looked up as the trio walked in. The lady approached them "Hello dears, how can we help you today."
Harry once again took charge without any consideration "Hello, we are interested in three top of the line multi compartment trunks with the most space available."
"Those are very expensive are you sure you can afford it" She asked in a tone the told them that she didn't think they did.
They all let their head of house rings flash quickly enough for her to notice but not be able to recognize the crests on them. Suddenly her entire deminer shifted but the damage was done and her husband recognized it so he quickly stepped in. "Hello, did I hear you correctly you are looking for multi-compartment trunks?"
"That or a true wizard spaced trunks with a multiple apartment." Replied Harry
"Huh, I do have a new style of trunk it is designed for traveling wizards like curse breakers or adventurers so they can have everything they need. You can add anything you may need to them; I will warn they are quite expensive, but the offset it once you buy it, the room are quite affordable."
"What are the room options that are available?"
"Currently we have a bedroom, treasure room, curse room, dueling room, library, kitchen, cold room, exercise room, bathroom, storage room, and smithing room. We are working on others but we haven't gotten the runes done just yet."
"Do you have a greenhouse room?"
"Yes, just most don't show interest so I didn't mention it."
"We will take three, with a bedroom, library, green house, kitchen, a cold room, 2 storage rooms, a dueling room, a treasure room, a curse room, and a potion room; in each."
The man's jaw dropped "That will cost 30,000 gallons."
"That's fine, can I get the invoice please and can we have those rooms pre stocked with the basic supplies. Save the libraries and the potion rooms, along with the green houses we will fill those ourselves."
"Yes sir, the already come prefilled so that will bring the price to 22,000 gallons. Give me a moment to get the invoice written out. Once you pay, I will finish the trunks."
"Ok, we just need it soon."
"Yes sir, of course."
The man quickly hurried off, leaving the three on their own. Neville turned to Harry "Harry you just spent a lot of money you didn't need to do that."
"Nev, I bought an investment in our future that could save our lives we don't know when we might need them the most."
"Harry you have spent a lot of money and you are still going to spend more. It isn't right, You should let us help."
"Nev you heard how many vaults I have this I can easily afford. So, if it helps keep us alive and honors my mothers wishes by protecting her godson, then I am going to do it."
Neville finally seemed to understand the motivations behind Harry's attitude. "Ok, I won't fight you on this."
The man came back with the bill and Harry quickly skimmed through it to ensure he wasn't going to be cheated. Once he was sure it was correct, he pressed his ring against the parchment. A flash of blue light causing the parchment to disappear. He soon presented the trunks and explained that they only had to push some of their magic into the center latch and it would only open for their magical signature and to allow another to have access they had to unlock their trunk then allow them to do the same.
"Now the interesting thing about this is it won't allow you to add or access your trunk if you are under and compulsions or spells including the Imperious."
With that they bid their farewells and left hurrying quickly to the Madam Malkin's where they had their robes measured and cute with their house crests on them. Harry had an entire wardrobe created which amazed him how quickly they had it put together. With that they quickly separated to complete their tasks. While Hermione went to the book store and Neville goes to the apothecary, Harry went to a jewelry shop intent on finding a wedding band for Hermione but in the back of his mind he was still trying to figure out who's hair was going to reside within his wand. He hadn't been able to get it off his mind since he saw her hair appear earlier that day. The jeweler noticed him shopping decided to approach to check if he need any help or if he was just a window shopper.
"Hello Master Jeweler, I am in need of a wedding band set. Though the wedding did come upon us quickly, I need this to be perfect."
"Family honor at stake then young man?"
"Partially but more over there are some who will try and accuse her of marrying above her station. And I don't have access to the heirloom rings so I want her to be very well protected."
"You truly do love her don't you."
"She has my heart and soul since the moment I laid eyes on her even if I didn't know it at the time."
The man just laughed "Oh, she has got you bad."
Harry chuckled, "That she does, that she does."
The man pulled out a assortment of rings but Harry had yet to see anything that told him that it was for Hermione. The man should him more pieces, then Harry had an idea.
"Do you have anything that can store memories or can tell you about the other person?"
"Yes I have some rings like that but usually they are only used for older couples to remind themselves of the past or when they are having a rough patch."
"Can you show me them?"
The man pulled out one tray and Harry's eye was immediately drawn to a simple but elegant ring with a simple heart cut diamond on it. "What are the enchantments on this one?" He asked pointing to it
"Ah that is an older style. It stores memories but also acts as a locational beacon so you can apperate directedly to their location it was very common during the Grindalwald wars but they fell out of favor years ago."
"It's perfect." Harry breathed out
The man smiled this was his favorite part of his job knowing that he had allowed the young man to find the perfect ring for his heart. "This piece is actually part of a set." Pulling out the rest Harry smiled and said it was perfect for what he had in mind.
The rest of the transaction ended rather quickly have the price quiet affordable so he didn't argue it in the slightest.
Quickly leaving and hurrying back to the wand makers to meet with the others.
