Diagon Alley-
To say Harry liked the Wizarding World was an understatement, because he truly did love it. Every aspect of Diagon Alley was remarkable, and the constant use of magic in the area made it feel like home.
They had first visited Gringotts, where Harry was surprised to note that his parents left him a lot of money(and the goblins were the bank managers, which was ironic to Harry) . For the first time, Harry would have his own pocket money.
Harry didn't just want to visit the area, he wanted to explore it. He told Dumbledore he would continue by himself, and that he could leave if he wanted to. Dumbledore, at first, looked reluctant but finally left at the end. Chaperones/helpers were present all across the streets, so Harry would probably not get lost.
Plus anyone would help Harry considering the fact that he was famous.
He looked down at the shopping list Dumbledore gave him:

Harry was itching to get the books and start devouring them all already, but he knew what he wanted to get first.
A wand.
Dumbledore had used a wand to procure magical things, and each example he showed Harry furthered his love for the magical item.
It was so simple, so elegant, and so powerful.
We will be powerful as well.
For once, he agreed with the voice.
—
Ollivianders was a peculiar man, and Harry could tell so just by looking at him and his shop. The man gave Harry a plethora of wands, each was of different size and shape, and consisted of different materials.
After a gruesome thirty minutes, Harry finally received a match. Holly and Phoenix Feather, eleven inches; when Harry touched it, a beautiful sensation filled his body—he felt powerful.
Harry craved for that feeling again, and a hungry look enveloped his emerald eyes. He could tell the voice concurred. The wand was the brother to Voldemort's, but Harry didn't find himself caring.
Harry gave a total of seven gallons to the gaunt man, and he left quickly with his wand in his hand, not wanting to let go. He would next have to get his robes, and he navigated a busy route towards Madam Malkins.
The walk towards Madam Malkins reminded Harry of the other big fact about him. People ogled and pointed rudely at him, and whispers broke out whenever someone saw him.
"Harry Potter?"
"Mom, that's Harry Potter!"
"Will I be in Hogwarts with him?"
Harry managed to glare at every single person who did such a thing. He was famous for defeating Voldemort as a little baby, and that certainly was a great thing to do, but not everyone appreciated all the attention.
Once he got to Madam Malkins, Harry immediately went to look for a hat, to block out the lightning bolt that was shouting his identity to the world. Then came the robes. He didn't really want to waste his galleons on expensive robes when most of them looked exactly the same. He didn't exactly know how wizards made their clothes but they most likely used some sort of spellwork to improve them.
A blond, lean kid who was next to Harry snorted distastefully when he saw what Harry was buying, and went back to shopping for his own clothes.
Once again, Harry felt a sudden pang of anger envelop his head as red covered his vision. He gripped his wand tightly and took several deep breaths to calm himself.
Malfoy.
"Malfoy?" Harry must've said that aloud because the boy only smirked in a pompous manner.
"Draco Malfoy." The boy went back to his shopping, as if conversation with Harry wasn't worth his precious time.
The response only confirmed several things for Harry: his voice was more knowledgeable than Harry, meaning the separate voice wasn't some multi-personality disorder. Secondly, the blonde boy in front of him was definitely some rich boy in the wizarding world.
The Malfoy Family is part of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, Lucius Malfoy is his pureblood father, a powerful politician.
Sacred Twenty-Eight? Pureblood? Harry was behind, and he hated being lacking. Coming into the wizarding world eleven years after others had Harry at a major disadvantage compared to the children who have been seeing magic their entire lives.
"I'm surprised a mudblood knows who I am; your name?" The boy smirked again as he continued to browse the shelves.
—
The mudblood in front of Draco actually knew his name! While he knew his father was famous, he didn't think his name spread to those muggles as well. He'd have to tell his father about this.
"I'm surprised a mudblood knows who I am; your name?" Draco said with an evident smirk.
He didn't really want to know his name, but he guessed it was good to start conversation with a future Hogwarts' student.
Suddenly, the blonde found a wand pointing straight at the middle of his eyes, and looked fearfully into the eyes of the "mudblood" boy. Yet, the eyes he saw weren't normal.
Harry Potter's eyes were crimson red.
"Mudblood?" 'Harry' quietly said.
Draco stumbled back—the appearance of the boy in front him had completely changed in a few seconds. A timid, green-eyed boy who was clearly a mudblood was now a crimson-eyed, confident pureblood with a wand in his hand.
A terrible, evil aura spreaded viciously from the boy, and while the so-called aura wasn't visible, Draco could feel it.
But then, the suffocating aura left, and red eyes turned to a softer green.
—
And just like it came, the anger left.
For a second, Harry felt like a god. He had no idea what 'mudblood' meant, but the moment he heard that word he felt a rush of power enter his veins.
He enjoyed pointing his wand straight at Malfoy. He enjoyed watching him squirm in fear. He enjoyed wiping that ever-present smirk on his face. But the words he said weren't his own, and Harry felt disgusted with himself. He recognized that voice, he recognized the tone.
So I do have some power. Interesting…
Grasping an even tighter hold of his wand, and feeling a particularly harsh migraine coming ahead, Harry promptly left Madam Malkins.
—
People at the orphanage continued to ignore Harry, which was fine with him, as Harry really needed to read up the books he got.
However, when he came back from Diagon Alley, a severe headache was inflicted upon him and he struggled to maintain hold of his consciousness. For forty minutes straight Harry was struggling not to cry in pain. Then he slept.
Once Harry woke up, he felt fresh and new, and started his ambitious journey of reading all of the Hogwarts books. All of the books were relatively large, which only increased Harry's urge to read them. He started with Hogwarts: A History as he found with his questionable interaction with Malfoy that he was lacking in terms of knowledge in the Wizarding World.
Harry got a quick introduction to the wizarding world, but he was far more interested in the spells and magic the books contained.
He had a month to catch up, and Harry found that more than enough. He couldn't actually do spells, but he knew the theory would be important as well in the end. He got to practicing.

Next Chapter: The Train Crossing.
Author's Note: Hope this chapter gave you an insight on how the horcrux will work. In specific moments the horcrux can take over Harry's body, but Harry can always take it back. To Harry it will seem as if he was in control even though the Horcrux was manipulating him the most of the time. And it's not some op hacks as there are repercussions to Tom taking over Harry's body.
Next chapter will include interactions with other major characters and you will see which house Harry will go in. Type in the review section which house you think he will go to!
For now chapters are short but do not worry, once Harry goes into Hogwarts, chapters will be longer as I will try and finish the boring years( 1) the quickest.
As always, thanks for reading and please follow and review!
