After what felt like ever Harry finally found where the yelling was coming from. A second voice had joined the first mostly yelling for the first to shut up. He walked into a clearing and found two portraits. Harry knew them on site.
"Mum. Dad." Harry said, "Wow."
"You don't look 11." James frowned looking at his son. "How old are you?"
"I'm 37." Harry replied, "FOUND IT!" he picked up a wand box as Severus came into a clearing. "Hello, old friend." Harry said pulling his wand out. "It's been years." His wand sparked in his hand. "I knew I told them to it in the vault."
"Indeed." severus sneered. "Lily."
"Severus!" Lily looked stunned, "Why are you bringing Harry to his vault and why isn't he 11?"
"It's a long story, Mum." Harry sighed, running fingers through his hair. "The short version is i ran away at 13 and swore off magic. That's why I never came."
"That's 13." James said, "Why didn't Sirius bring you when you were 11?"
"Again long story." Harry sighed, "Can I shrink you down to take you with me? I'll explain everything."
"Just tap the name plates." Lily said, looking worried. "You swore off magic? "
Instead of answering. Harry shrunk them down and put them in his pocket.
"I better take some money too." Harry mumbled to himself. "I'm going to need supplies if i'm moving back into the magic world."
"You don't have to come back." Severus said knowing Lily and James could hear him. "You left for a good reason."
"In my line of work I often come across tombs like this one. " Harry replied packing some books and money into a pouch. "I can't rely on other Witches and Wizards to face the danger of breaking the curses if I'm not willing to do it myself."
"You have a third year education."Severus scoffed, "I doubt you can break curses. "
"Okay, i didn't swear of magic all together." Harry admitted, "I still studied. I know plenty of theory. "
Severus scoffed.
Bill was still there when they arrived back.
"Did you get everything, Mr. Raven?" The Goblin asked, "Do you need anything else?"
"I was wondering if there was a Wizarding Community around here." Harry replied, " I need some supplies."
"I know where it is." Bill said, "I can take you. I was on my way myself."
"No thank you." Harry scoffed, "I'll buy a map." the Goblin nodded and got into a drawer behind his desk. He pulled out a magical map. Harry handed over some Galleons. He had a feeling these Goblins knew who he was. He nodded and opened the map. "It's not far from here." he mumbled, "and the library is marked on here as well. Good. That'll save me some time. "
"May your vaults always be full of gold." Harry called as he headed toward the door. "Lets get this damn shopping trip over with."
Harry hated being fit for robes but he knew he would need some. He then picked up some self inking quills and notebooks. He picked up a few other things he would need as well. He got a lot of books. He gasped as a ball cap was placed on his head and pulled low. He fixed it to see Severus. The wizard in the stand was smiling at them.
"I'll take this one." Severus said, "I'll buy this one."
The shopkeeper just smiled. Harry chuckled and translated what Severus was saying. He then translated the Price to Severus and thanked the stand keeper. As they walked away.
"You speak the language well."
"Thanks." Harry shrugged, "and thanks for the cap. " he adjusted it again. "Should we head to the library now?"
Severus nodded. As soon as Harry had talked their way in he sighed in relief air conditioning.
Harry pulled his cap off and tucked it into his waist band at his back.
It took them an hour just to find the records they were looking for then another hour to find the correct dates. They were then looking for the correct person then digging into the information. Harry's eyes shot across the records without blinking. Severus wondered if he was even reading . He'd never thought Harry to be a good student in fact he'd been only average in Hogwarts. But then again studying like this went hand in hand with Harry's job profession.
He returned to his work and was soon engrossed. In what little English documents there were.
"Amazing." Severus breathed "This man sure knew his potions. " Harry hummed setting a document aside and picking up another. "Wouldn't there be journals or something in the family vault?"
"We'll do that later." Harry replied, " I only managed to get us a day here so I need to read all this. "
"You mean 24 hours or until they close?"
"A day." Harry repeated, not looking away from his work. He began scribbling notes. Severus noted his hand writing was much better and he was holding his quill correctly. He thought back to Harry at school and sure enough the boy never held his quill right. " If you're having trouble reading there is a laptop in my back pack. I made it so it works around magic. It has a translation program I programmed . "
Severus blinked at the boy but got the laptop out. As a half blood he knew how it worked so he quickly had it set up and was using his wand to scanning the documents with his wand and everything would appear on the screen and translate. He scanned everything going so far as to take Harry's work.
"This way we can take it with us ." Severus sneered watching the murderous look disappear out of Harry's eyes. "What?"
"Just imagine if I had time I could create a total database with all the information stored here." Harry looked wistful. "You never know when I'll get a permission to come back."
He shook his head and showed Severus how to save and sort everything. Then went back to reading. Scans or not he had a day in this place and was going to use it. After returning everything they had gotten Severus went around scanning other documents after explaining it wasn't going to hurt anything. Harry meanwhile had barricaded himself inside an archive from the time of Jesus and was reading everything he could get his hands on. The wizards who worked there pounded on the door and tried to break through his wards. Severus just smirked to himself and kept scanning. According to the wizards who worked there those were the oldest documents in the library.
