AN : Hey guys, Thank you for all the reviews and opinions. I am really glad that you have liked the story so far. Many readers asked me to update new chapters and I am glad that they are eager for the story to be continued. I will continue to update the story but there may be a delay in updates sometimes due to exams and stuff. But I promise to not abandon the story.
Also some readers had a question as to why Harry was taking his lordship so early. I would like to clarify that Harry will only be taking the Peverell Lordship but he will renounce the Potter Heirship which will go to his other brother Daniel. I have specified that the Peverell Lordship can only be accessed by a wizard who has the blood of a Peverell and one who has passed the test to take on the mantle of the Master of Death. He will be the Lord of other houses also but it will be gradual. Harry will also get his own room in Gryffindor as he needs privacy and to hide some things like his books, familiar etc etc.
Also Harry confided his dimension travel to his mother as I believe trust is a two way street and she has to know about her son's past. He will confide in Alexandra, James, Sirius, Remus and Amy as they are his family. Harry will also need them to know about his past so that they can carry tasks which would have raised questions about how Harry knew about it.
Anyway here's Chapter 6
Disclaimer : I don't own Harry Potter.
Last Chapter:
Harry enjoyed his time for the next year and then came the year when he would go to Hogwarts. His condition and its diagnosis had been reported in the papers and now everyone knew about him not being a squib. During the year Harry and Alex had gotten extremely close and they confided everything with each other (except Harry's dimension jump) and he also spent a lot of time with his siblings playing with them.
It was now a week before his eleventh birthday when he would get the Hogwarts letter and also if his theories were right, his Lordship.
Chapter 6 - Hogwarts Letter and Diagon Alley
Harry woke on the morning of July 31 feeling cheerful. Today was the day he would receive his Hogwarts letter. Say what you want about the dangers he had faced at Hogwarts but to him Hogwarts was his first home and he was eager to go back there. Unfortunately, to go to Hogwarts meant to be under the nose of the manipulative goat known as Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Harry went to the dining room for breakfast and saw that his family was already sitting there with Sirius, Alex, Amy, Orion and Remus. Alex was holding a familiar looking letter in her hands which had his name on it. Harry sat at the table next to his father and opposite Alex.
"Happy Birthday Harry, how does it feel to be eleven and to go to Hogwarts?"
"Thank you Dad. And it feels nice that I am going to Hogwarts in a month but I will miss all of you."
His mother kissed his forehead and said, "Happy Birthday sweetie. You will not miss us too much with all the work you are going to be busy with and besides you will be able to talk to us using the mirror at night."
"Thanks Mum"
The mirrors were another thing which he was very happy about. It turned out that Remus had replicated the mirrors which Sirius and James used in their Hogwarts days for detention. Now everyone in the family had a mirror each. Lily had charmed them to be unbreakable and also added a few more charms of her own.
After everyone wished Harry a Happy Birthday, they went to the sitting room and sat on the couches waiting for Harry to open his gifts which were stacked. Alex had kept his letter for Hogwarts on top of the stack and he reached for it first. It was the same as he remembered
Mr. H. Potter
Potter Manor
Nottinghamshire
The envelope was thick and heavy, made of yellowish parchment, and the address was written in emerald-green ink. Turning the envelope over, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing the Hogwarts coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.
Opening the letter, he saw the two pieces of parchment and read them out for his family.

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST-YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS
Seeing the rule about broomsticks, he stifled a chuckle remembering about his Nimbus and Neville's remembrall in his first year of his original life.
Lily said, "Well this means shopping for Harry and Alex. We can go after Alex's birthday on the 6th if that is ok with you all?"
When everyone agreed, Harry opened more of his presents. From his Mum, he had got a Diary so that he could write to her while at Hogwarts as his Mum had the connecting pair of his own Diary. He also got a book about Advanced Runes. From his Dad, he got a blank piece of parchment which Harry recognized as the Marauder's Map.
His Dad explained, "You can open it with the same password as the original map with a tap of your wand. It is better than the original map and has more features also."
His Dad also gave him a book titled 'The Diary of Charlus Potter'
"This book was given to me by your Grandfather. He instructed me to give it to you when you turned eleven. It has a lot of experiences of Grindelwald war and other things. Treasure it and learn from his experiences, son"
Harry was stunned with the book. He knew about his grandfather's exploits. The man was awarded the title of Baron and was extremely talented and dangerous with a wand to his enemies.
His Grandfather had also fought Voldemort to a standstill until Voldemort had apparated away. He had then found himself in an ambush of 25 Death Eaters out of which only three survived. Charlus Potter had lost his life protecting an injured Auror whom he had sent away using a portkey.
On hearing news of his Grandfather's death, his Grandmother Dorea Potter had withdrawn herself from society. She also contracted a case of Dragon Pox which eventually led to her death.
Harry took the book with trembling hands and vowed to keep it safe in his library.
He then continued opening his other gifts. Sirius had given him a book on pranking while Remus had given him a book on Animagus theory. Sirius' wife Amy had given him a set of Wizards Chess. His sibling had together given him a set of Gobstones. Alex had given him a photo album with pictures of the times they spent together and those with the family. She had also given him a silver band which had the words H.J.P. on it.
Harry thanked everyone of them for their gifts and the family went to dining hall for the cake which Toby, the house elf had made. It was a huge chocolate cake with vanilla on its top and looked delicious.
Harry enjoyed his birthday with his family and went to sleep with a smile on his face.
A few days later on August 5th the family celebrated Alex's eleventh birthday at Black Manor. Harry had gifted her a silver charm bracelet with the writing Alexandra on the top.
The next day the family had breakfast and Flooed to the Leaky Cauldron. After greeting the barman, they opened the archway to Diagon Alley and walked to the marble white building of Gringotts. They made their way to a free teller. Harry stepped in front and bowed slightly to the Goblin and spoke, "Good day to you Master Goblin. My name is Harry Potter and I would like to speak to my Accounts Manager Ripclaw."
The goblin was surprised at being talked to politely and responded in kind, "Greetings Mr. Potter. Please follow me to Accounts Manager Ripclaw's office."
Harry told his family to follow him and they went through many corridors to a door which had a plaque on it which spelled Ripclaw.
Harry thanked the teller and opened the door to the office. His family followed him into the large office.
"Greetings Manager Ripclaw, May your gold overflow and may your enemies tremble before you."
The goblin behind the desk gave a sharp grin and responded, "Greetings Heir Potter. And may your business today be successful."
Harry asked the goblin, "Manager Ripclaw, I was wondering if it was possible for me to take the position as Heir Peverell as I learnt that the Potters are descended from the Peverells."
Ripclaw gestured towards a parchment on his desk and said, "Indeed you can but you will have to take a test to confirm if you are able to take the position."
Harry said, "I wish to take the test Ripclaw."
Lily was worried about the test and told Harry about it,
"Relax Lady Potter, it only takes a bit of blood and parchment and the gash will heal on its own." Ripclaw pacified the woman.
He handed Harry a sharp looking knife and asked him place 7 drops of blood on the parchment. Harry did so and after a flash of gold writing started appearing on the parchment. The flash of gold confirmed that Harry had the blood of a Peverell.

Harry was smiling at the parchment till he reached the last few lines. His face paled and he muttered, "Oh shit. I am screwed."
James and Lily heard him and looked worriedly at each other and then at the parchment. When they reached the line about marriage contracts, they gasped in unison and James whooped aloud.
Harry didn't hear any of this. He was still wondering on how to tell Alex about this and whether this would break their friendship when the girl in question read the entire thing over his shoulder and gasped. Harry turned and his face paled even more when he saw that Alex and her parents had read the parchment. Sirius and Amy were stunned but happy that their daughter was marrying Harry and not some brat.
Alex was shocked to say the least. Harry stood in front of her and pleaded to her, "Look Alex, I am really sorry about this. I didn't do this purposely and I didn't know. I am sorry about taking your choice for marriage and -"
That was all Harry said when Alex hugged him tightly and whispered in his hear, "It is ok and you didn't know about this. I am happy that it is with my best friend rather than some pureblood moron. We will talk about this when we reach home though."
Harry was stunned and only nodded his head. Then he caught site of a amused goblin and he knew that the goblin was enjoying all the drama. He glared at Ripclaw and asked, "Can I go to the vaults and pick a ring for the future Lady Peverell?" Alex blushed when he used the title.
Ripclaw answered, "Of course but you have to wear your Lordship ring first."
He then placed a box which opened to display a beautiful ring. The Peverell ring had a large blue sapphire with a the family crest of the Deathly Hallows and a Thestral on it placed on a dark silver metal.
Harry placed the ring on his right ring finger and it resized to fit his hand. He then asked Ripclaw to take him to the vaults so that he could pick a ring for Alex and check what was in the vaults.
Ripclaw called a goblin and told him to lead the family of ten to the vaults.
Harry thanked Ripclaw wished him a good day and followed the other goblin.
Once they reached the vault by the familiar roller coaster ride they found a huge Dragon guarding the vaults. Harry bowed to the Dragon which bowed back and then placed his hand on the opening of the vault. A pricking sensation and grinding of stone after which the vault opened to reveal an assortment of gold precious gems, heirlooms and books. Harry went to ring section and picked a ring he knew Alex would like and kept it in his pocket. He then placed some galleons and sickles in his money bag and went out to meet the others. He would peruse the vaults later.
Once they reached the entrance of Gringotts, Lily and Amy led them to Madam Malkins while James and Sirius said that they would lead Daniel, the twins and Orion to the toy shop and meet at Ollivanders' after Harry and Alex bought their supplies. The next few hours were the worst of Harry's short life since his mother practically ordered him to try on the robes. Finally they brought three sets of standard robes each, four acromantula silk dress robes for formal occasions, three pairs of dragon hide gloves, two pairs of dragon hide boots, a black winter coat and a brand new muggle wardrobe. Complete with three pairs of jeans, seven new button down shirts, twelve pairs of t-shirts, a black leather jacket, and a dozen pair of underwear. Harry took the liberty of adding three muggle track suits and a pair of muggle running shoes, so he could train more easily while at school.
In total the final bill came out to 1235 galleons, but after seeing the happy look on his mother's face, Harry didn't say a single word about it. The quartet eventually made their way to Flourish and Blotts and spent a lovely hour perusing through their new wares and buying the first year books with a few additional books for Harry.
Next they went to Amanuensis' Quills. Here the four of them perused through the shop until they eventually they decided upon two dozen quills, a bottle each of blue and black ink, and enough parchment to last Harry and Alex until the end of term.
The next stop on their list was Slug and Jigger's Apothecary where they ordered two first-year packages. In the apothecary, Harry quickly palmed an Owl order form and placed it in his pocket. He figured it would just be easier for him to special order the ingredients he needed once he got to Hogwarts.
After the apothecary, the quartet gradually made their way to Portage's Cauldron Shop and picked up three standard sized pewter Cauldrons for each Harry and Alex. Once again, before they left, Harry palmed another Owl order form. While pewter sets were just fine for potions work in Snape's class, Harry would need more expensive sets to work on his numerous projects.
Lily and Amy intended to buy the telescope next, but Harry begged her not to. From his own personal experience, he knew muggle telescopes were significantly better than their magical counterparts. At first they were hesitant to break Hogwarts rules, but Harry won the day when he pointed out the letter said to buy a telescope. Nothing there said it had to come from a magical store.
Next shop was Tom's Trunk Emporium where Harry and Alex purchased two five-compartment trunks with password protection, shrinking feature, library and other features. Harry asked the owner to draw the Potter Family Crest and Peverell Family Crest and a Herbridean Black Dragon on his trunk while Alex asked the owner to draw the Black Family crest and an Ice Dragon on her trunk.
While Harry had a seven-compartment apartment trunk on the island, he didn't want to use it as the trunk would raise too many questions especially about the use of the apartment.
After the owner added the required enchantments, Harry and Alex immediately fell in love with their trunks. Harry's was emerald green in colour while Alex's was sapphire blue. They paid for the trunks and headed to Magical Menagerie for the pets.
As soon as Harry entered the shop, he felt a strong pull on his magic. Unsure what it was, he decided to find out. His heart raced when he walked by the Owls section of the menagerie, but stopped once he realized he couldn't spot his beautiful Hedwig. Continuing his search, he walked further into the store, until he stopped in front of a table that held five large eggs. His magic called to the only blue egg in the group, and he knew his other familiar would come from there.
Just as he was about to reach his hand out and touch the egg, a large hand grabbed his and pulled him back. "What the hell do you think you're doing kid? Do you even know how valuable these eggs are? Where are your parents?"
Harry felt his anger rise at the man's rant, and for a brief moment he forgot he was supposed to be almost 11, and not the almost 19 that he was feeling. "Please be quiet, sir. You have no need to concern yourself about my parent's whereabouts. Now what is the price of this egg?"
When the store clerk just stared at him like he said he was Voldemort, Harry rolled his and repeated, "What is the price for this egg?"
"That's a Phoenix egg, boy," the clerk replied with a sneer. "It cost 10000 galleons to buy. Now take your sickles and knuts and go look at something cheaper."
As soon as he heard "boy" and saw the Malfoy-like sneer appear on the clerk's face, Harry grabbed his Gringotts card from his money bag, and tossed it to the older Wizard. "Go ahead and charge me for it and for the record my Mum is standing right behind you."
The clerk turned and paled when he saw who Harry's mother was. He stuttered out some apologies when she raised an eyebrow and hurried back to the counter.
By then Alex and Amy returned with a large tawny brown which Alex named 'Jupiter'. Lily turned to her son and said, "He is right, you know. What would you do with a Phoenix egg? They only hatch if you have formed a familiar bond with them."
Harry replied, "I did feel a strong pull on my magic calling out to me. That tis why I came here to check."
The three of them gaped at Harry stunned that he had a Phoenix as a familiar.
Harry turned to the egg. When his hand finally touched the smooth egg, he could feel the ice beneath him, but strangely it didn't hurt. It actually felt good. That's when he heard a voice echo in his mind, "~I have missed you, hatchling.~"
Harry's heart began to race and he wasn't sure why, but he just knew that voice belonged to Hedwig. "Hedwig, is that you?", he asked the voice. He looked at the others to see if they had heard but saw that they were talking to each other.
"~It is, hatchling. It's good to know that you still remember me. You do not have to speak out loud, my youngling. I can hear you through your mind.~"
"~How is this possible, Hedwig? You died during the battle of Hogwarts. How are you a Phoenix in this world?~"
"~I do not know, hatchling. I remember dying, and then waking here long ago. For centuries I have waited to be born, but I failed to meet anyone whose magic called to my own. It seems I was waiting for you, young one. I sensed your magic, as soon as you walked into the alley.~"
Harry had a silly grin plastered on his face, his hand still gently caressing the egg in front of him.
"~I've really missed you so much girl. I'm sorry you had to wait so long. What can I do to help you?~"
"~Reach out with your magic and break the egg, young one.~"
"~Are you sure, Hedwig? I don't want to hurt you.~"
When he heard the voice echo in his mind, Harry could swear it sounded amused. "~You will not harm me, hatchling. As my bond-mate your magic is needed to break the egg.~"
Harry took a deep breath, closed his eyes and pushed his magic out towards the egg. This time he could feel the ice that surrounded it, and it hurt. Not wanting to let his girl down, Harry pushed further against the barrier and the ice continued to get colder. Ignoring the pain, he called upon more of his magic, and slammed it against the barrier. He could feel the ice slowly begin to break and suddenly all resistance was gone.
When he heard the egg break, Harry pulled back on his magic and opened his eyes. A smile split his face the moment he saw baby Hedwig as a Phoenix. As soon as he began to coo at her, he could sense her annoyance at being so small.
After a minute of teasing his friend, he decided to apologize, "~I'm sorry for making fun of you, Hedwig, but I just couldn't resist. You look so beautiful as a baby. But I'm done now. Are you ready to go?~"
The reply came in only a slightly irritated tone. "~I will be ready in a moment, hatchling. With the first birth, Phoenixes mature right away.~"
By the time his mind registered what his familiar meant, Harry watched in awe as Hedwig slowly grew in front of him. At full growth, he was amazed by her size. When her wings were spread fully, he had no doubt she would easily be larger than Fawkes. With piercing blue eyes, she was whiter than the snow, and had dark blue streaks going through her plumage. Overall, Harry was more than impressed with her new form.
"~You look beautiful, Hedwig.~"
"~Thank you, hatchling.~"
Harry admired his familiar for a little bit longer and then remembered his entourage. They were stunned speechless at the spectacle and Harry introduced them to Hedwig, "Hedwig, this is my mum Lily Potter, this is Alexandra Black my betrothed and this is my aunt Amelia Black."
Hedwig trilled and flew down to Alex's shoulders and nibbled her ear affectionately. Alex was stunned and started to stroke her feathers. Lily had a knowing look on her face when she looked at Harry and Hedwig.
He sensed her desire to be out in the open. "~Go on girl. Go out and fly. I can tell you want spread your wings.~"
When Hedwig cocked her head to the side and looked at him, her blue eyes felt like they were staring into his soul. "~I will go, hatchling. Call me if you are in trouble.~"
Harry rolled his eyes at her overprotectiveness and replied, "~Yes mother.~"
Hedwig jumped up in the air and cuffed him lightly with her wing to the side of his head, before disappearing in a flash of blue fire.
As he watched his familiar leave, Harry couldn't help but shake his head at her mothering. If he was being honest with himself, he kind of missed it. Once he realized he no longer had any business in the store, Harry and Alex signed for their purchases. He also asked the store owner to not reveal that he had bought a Phoenix egg as that would ask too many questions.
They headed to Florean's and found James, Sirius and the kids eating ice cream at a table. Harry and Alex bought ice creams for their mothers while the adults told each other about their day. James and Sirius thought that their wives were pulling their leg when they said about the Phoenix but when Hedwig appeared in front of them in a flash of blue flames, the two Marauders were gaping openly. Thankfully, they were in a secluded part of the store and Hedwig was not noticed by anybody. She then flashed away when Harry had told her to enjoy her flight.
After finishing with their ice cream, the family headed to Ollivanders' wand shop. It looked just like Harry remembered - narrow and shabby.
A tinkling bell rang somewhere in the depths of the shop as they stepped inside. It was a tiny place, empty except for a single spindly chair. There were thousands of narrow boxes of wands piled neatly right up to the ceiling. He could sense the amount of magic in the shop but he could not sense any magic that called out to him. While he was busy searching for a pull on his magic he felt a presence behind him and greeted the shocked wand maker, "Good afternoon to you Mr. Ollivander."
The wand maker recovered quickly, "Ah yes" said the man. "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter. and Alexandra Black."
He then gave a small speech about wands and their properties. "Now which of you would like to get your wand first?"
Harry said, "Ladies first, please"
Alex went to the front and Mr. Ollivander asked her, "Which is you wand hand Ms. Black?"
Alex replied, "I am right-handed sir."
The tape-measure started measuring and the wand maker asked Alex to wave one of his wands. After many tries, Alex found her wand whcih shot a fountain of silver sparks. Alex's wand was twelve inches, walnut and dragon heartstring of a Hungarian Horntail. Walnut wands find the ideal mate in the hands of highly intelligent witches and wizards. Enchanters and magical innovators much prefer this wand wood and the Hungarian Horntail Dragon Heartstring core coupled with the wood makes it a truly lethal wand in the hands of a warrior.
When it was Harry's turn, he revealed that he was ambidextrous and his family was surprised by that information. He tried waving countless wands but none seemed to match with him. Wand after wand passed through Harry's hand, and with each failure, it only made Ollivander more excited. After an hour and a half of testing everything in his store, the old man finally admitted defeat.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Potter, but it seems I do not have any wands that can match your capabilities."
As soon as she heard her son wouldn't receive a wand, Lily refused to admit defeat. "There has to something here that can match with my son's magic. Don't you have anymore wands in the back room, Mr. Ollivander?"
Ollivander gently raised his hand and said, "Peace Lady Potter. The fact that none of my wands have chosen your son, only means I will have to craft one specifically for him. If you will please wait right here, I will need your son to come into the back room with me."
When he learned he would get a wand crafted just for him, Harry could barely contain his new found glee. His family though was stunned. Custom made wands were extremely rare and they were very expensive.
They followed the wand maker to his back room. He was surprised when the old man brought out a large box and placed it on a wooden table.
After opening it, Ollivander waived Harry forward and said, "Close your eyes, Mr. Potter and place your hand next to each item. Tell me which one calls to your magic."
Harry closed his eyes and followed the Wand crafter's instructions. After two attempts, he only felt two cores calling out to him. One was a long silver feather and the other was some kind of heart-string.
Ollivander was giddy when he noticed the ingredients Harry pointed to and told, " The first core is the feather of a Thunderbird. The thunderbird on is the king of the skies. It can cause huge storms and shoot thunder on their whim. The second core is Nundu heartstring. A Nundu is considered by most as the most dangerous magical creature in existence. It is so powerful that no less than a hundred wizards are needed to subdue it."
Harry was stunned by the cores which had chosen him.
He heard Hedwig speak in his mind, "~My youngling. I am here, and I have brought you the items you will need for your wand.~"
Just then his beautiful familiar flamed into the room, and he saw her carrying a vial in her talon. Harry gently pulled the vial away from her, and as soon as his fingers touched the glass, he could feel whatever was inside pulling strongly at his magic.
"~What is this Hedwig?~", he asked his familiar curiously.
"~It was part of snake faces belongings, hatchling," she replied knowingly. "~I believe it is a Basilik fang dipped in its venom. I am almost positive it once belonged to the serpent you defeated in the old world.~"
Harry was momentarily stunned by the Basilik fang in his hand. Since the large serpent looked upon Riddle as its master, he could understand why Snake face had taken a fang for his own use. He was just surprised the man never used it to make a new wand."~Thank you for this, girl.~"
"~You are welcome, young one. But that is not all that I have for you.~"
With that the majestic bird leaped into the air and shook a single feather on to the table. Harry could feel the same pull from the feather as he did from the Basilik fang, and he knew he had the cores for his new wand.
"~Be safe, hatchling. I will see you once you are done for the day.~"
Harry watched the Phoenix disappear in a flash of blue fire and when he turned around, he saw the shocked look upon the old man's face.
"I guess you're kind of wondering what that was about? Ah, that was my familiar and she dropped off what you will need to make my wand. If you don't mind sir, I'd like to keep her a secret for now."
Ollivander finally snapped out of his shocked trance and nodded his head in agreement. "Of course, Mr. Potter. Your secret is safe with me."
Harry then watched the old man replace the box with wand cores with another box. As soon as he opened it, Harry could see dozens of different types of woods neatly arranged inside. Knowing what he needed to do, he closed his eyes and gently moved his hand over each one.
He pulled a black color wood which Ollivander confirmed was Ebony. He felt another pull and took the wood which Ollivander said was Elder wood. Harry was amused that this was the wood from Elder tree as it was fitting for him wielding the Deathstick.
Ollivander was amazed by the woods and the cores and asked them to return after two hours. He quickly put a closed sign and went to work on Harry's wands. Harry and his family decided to have lunch and explore the Alley. They enjoyed their time chatting to each other at the Leaky Cauldron while having lunch and exploring the alley.
Finally after two hours, they returned to Ollivanders' shop and found the man waiting for them.
"Ah, welcome back, Mr. Potter. I have been eagerly waiting for your return. Your wands are finished, and if I do say so myself, they are two of my finest creations."
With that, Ollivander pulled out a long red wand box and another green box and flipped the lid open to show the item that was inside. Harry was stunned by the sight of his new wand. The black wood was polished to glisten under the torch light and it was elegantly decorated with gold and silver trimmings. Unlike normal wands that were a single color, the black, gold and silver blended perfectly to give the wand a truly majestic look.
When he reached out and picked it up, Harry felt a sudden surge of power run through him, the likes of which he'd only felt with the Elder Wand.
While his magic continued to bind with the power from the two cores perfectly, the two people in the room that were watching him intently, could now see Harry literally glowing from the release of his magic.
Ollivander was awestruck by the most powerful wand binding he had ever seen in his life. He had already met the Boy Who Lived, and while he didn't doubt the boy would one day grow to be a powerful Wizard, he didn't think anyone he knew could compare to the power the boy in front of him was exuding. f the child was this powerful now, he could one day grow up to become the most powerful person this world had seen in centuries. If not for the Phoenix that was currently bound as his familiar, Ollivander would have broken his promise to keep his client's secrets confidential, and he would have contacted Albus in regards to the boy.
"Incredible, Mr. Potter," Ollivander exclaimed. "I have never seen a wand bind so completely with anyone else. I hope you realize how powerful the wand you hold in your hand really is. Much like the Deathwood that gives it life, your wand's cores are a perfect balance between life and death. Supple but firm, this wand will be excellent for Transfiguration, Dueling, DADA and the Dark Arts. Unlike other wands that are Dark or Light centric, your wand is a true Grey. I expect to see many great things from you, Mr. Potter. With a wand like that, you have a chance to change the world."
Harry looked at the other wand and saw that it had Black wood polished with fang strips of a Nundu and it also exuded power. Harry knew that this wand was also very powerful and he felt the same surge of power when he grasped this wand.
Ollivander said, "The first wand is Thirteen Inches, Ebony, Thunderbird Feather and Nundu heartstring with strips of Nundu fang on its exterior. It is extremely powerful wand with the cores it has. The second wand is Eleven Inches, Elder Wood, Phoenix feather from your familiar and Basilisk Venom. It is extremely powerful and dangerous."
Harry knew that during the magical transfer his blood was also replaced. So he still had Basilisk venom and Phoenix tears in his bloodstream which would help Harry should he be bitten by any animal with potent venom and accelerate the healing process. The wand also had a connection to Harry due to the familiar bond between Harry and Hedwig as well as the Basilisk venom in his bloodstream.
Harry thanked the wand maker and paid for a wand cleaning kit, two dragon hide holsters and for the wand and the family exited the shop.
They Flooed to Potter Manor and the Blacks bid goodbyes to the Potters. Alex hugged Harry tightly and kissed him on the cheek and said, "We can have our talk tomorrow, is it alright with you?" Harry replied in the affirmative. Both teens blushed when Alex kissed him on the cheek.
Harry went to his room and fell on the bed. He was tired from today's events but was happy about how the day went well. He was also surprised when Alex kissed him on the cheek.
He fell asleep thinking, 'All in all, it was a good day today'
AN : That's all for now. This chapter was the longest I have written till date. Next chapter will include the trip to Hogwarts aboard The Hogwarts Express and maybe the Sorting. Hope you liked the chapter.
Stay Safe. Stay Happy
