Harry woke up early the next day. After dressing in one of his new robes he and Sliphis went down to further explore the wizarding world and of course to buy a lot of presents. After Harry had read in the book of magical artifacts he'd decided what exactly he needed. The only problem was that he'd still not figured out how to bring illegal stuff inside the school without having the Headmaster knowing. Quickly looking around, since he was not supposed to go there, he sneaked into the Dark alley, wich he noticed was called Knockturn Alley acording to some sign at the corner of the street. He'd decided he would definatly find what he was looking for in the shop called Borgin & Burkes.

When he entered the shop he'd noticed there were two other costomers, a black robed blond man and a younger boy who seemed to be his son. They were supposidly looking around deciding what to buy.

Harry walked towards the counter and stated 'I considder buying something, if you sell it, but I have no idea on how to smuggle it into Hogwarts.'

Obvious the shopkeeper seemed to recognize the voice of the boy. 'Greetings mister…'.

Harry tried to signal that the shopkeeper shouldn't call him by name since there were other custommers in the shop, but it was already to late.

'potter.'

At the moment the shopkeeper pronounced his name, both the man, and the boy turned around and stared. 'What was he doing here' could be read on their faces'.

'If you kindly would inform me on what presicely you wish to buy, I can see If I can do anything for you relating to your attempt to smuggle it inside'. Continued the shopkeeper.

'I desire to buy a Time Turner, if you sell them, but of course, one that hasn't been spelled by the Ministry.' Harry answered using his arrogant tone.

'I see..' replied the shopkeeper 'and how much are you willing to spend on such a rare artifact?'

'Whatever, do you sell them?' was Harry's response.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucius was with his son paying a visit to Mister Borgin's shop when a handsome looking boy with long black hair and a quite pale skin entered the shop. 'He couldn't be much older then Draco,' he thought. Wat was the boy doing in a shop like this, and where were his parents? Lucius wondered.

Now, the boy walked towards the counter, almost without looking around. He said something, and Borgin replied 'Greetings mister Potter'.

Potter? The aristocrat eyed the boy. Potter had a scar on his forehead hadn't he? Obvious, there was no scar in sight. Was this boy really the Heir of the Potters?

'I desire to buy a Time Turner, if you sell them, but of course, one that hasn't been spelled by the Ministry.' The boy said.

'Well, at least the boy know what he desires'. The elder Malfoy thought.

Faking that he was more interesting in the items that were presented on the various shelfs of the shop he followed the conversation between the boy and the shopkeper.

'Anything' ansered the boy after Mister Borgin had asked how much the boy was willing to pay for the artifact.

'Well, the boy must be pretty rich then'. Concluded the Elder Malfoy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'If that is the case, I think I might just have one left in the storrage' answered the shopkeeper. 'If you have one moment I'm going to snatch it for you'.

'Well ofcourse.' Harry answered.

The shopkeeper nodded and walked out of sight.

'Hello,' said the pale boy to Harry, while walking into his direction.

'Greetings,' Harry said, still speaking with an arrogant undertone.

'Is it true that you are Harry Potter?' the pale boy asked out of curiosity.

'True indeed,' Harry answered.

'A pleasure to meet you, My name 's Draco Malfoy, over there is my father.' The other boy drawled.

'Pleasure to meet you indeed,' replied Harry mimicing the drawl of the other boy.

'Going to Hogwarts too arn't you?' Draco asked.

'Yes, for my first year. And you?'

'Then I would be in the same year as you.'

At that moment Sliphis went out under Harry's sleeve. 'need to cool down' he hissed'.

'Its ok, but stay on my arm please' Harry hissed back.

'Nice snake' the pale boy said.

'Her name is Sliphis'

'You're a parselmouth right?'

''Correct'

'Then you should be aiming to get sorted into Slytherin'

'I figured. And you, which house you aim for?'

During his conversation with the Headmaster at the orphanage, the old man had named all four Hogwarts houses and what quallities they desired. Harry had already figured that Slytherin would fit him the best, Then when the Headmaster explained about the crests of each house, he learned that the Snake symbolized Slytherin, and thus aimed for the house even more.

'For me no choice.' Draco answered. 'The whole of my family have been sorted in Slytherin, so i'm pretty sure I will be in there too'.

'Cool, then we would be in the same house.' Harry said. 'Want to become friends?'

Realizing that he had never had any friends he would be glad if he could befriend just one single person amongst the wizards.

'Sure' said the boy extending his right hand wich was shaken by the other. 'anyway, where are you living?'

'I currently stay at the Leaky Cauldron room 6. If you plan anymore visites to here during the holidays come visit me. I would be there or roaming around'. Harry said.

'I see. How about we shop together, if father agree…' Draco suggested.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucius had listened at the boys conversation while studying some objects that lay on a shelf. Eleven years ago, he had hated the boy, since he'd killed his master, or at least managed to send the curse back at him. He'd always thought the boy would probably be grown up like a brave light Gryffindork, like a dense Albus Dumbledore. However, overhearing the conversation, he concluded that the boy might be darker then he'd suspected. He seemed to have a snake, to speak parseltongue, to aim for the Slytherin house, and he was at this particular place to do some illegal business. And his son agreed becomming friends with him.

If Draco would do that eleven years ago, Lucius was sure he'd probably would have forbidden it, but now eyeing the handsome boy that had been talking to his son he'd decided he'd want to find out more about the boy.

The elder Malfoy walked towards Harry and extended his hand. 'I am Mister Malfoy' he drawled.

'A pleasure to meet you Sir, My name is Harry Potter.'

'Nice meeting you, Harry' said Mister Malfoy, and to Draco 'Yes son, I'll agree with it.'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mister Borgin, came back into sight holding a tiny hourglass on a golden chain. When he stood back at the counter he'd adressed the boy. 'Sir Potter, I excuse it took me so long, but I have found one.

Harry turned back at the counter and looked at the artifact, questioning, 'Are you sure it is free from tracking spells sir?'

The shopkeeper nodded. 'I have checked it and there seems to be no spells on it.

'Good, but have you any idea how to smuggle it into hogwarts?' Harry replied.

'I have checked on it also. It seems that the House-elves inhabiting the building only check for forbidden objects in the luggage that is left after the students leave the train. I remember that if you keep illegal things like this one with you, unless there are dark spells cast uppon the item, they will not be found. However, I suggest you to spell some non dark invissibillity charms on it so you would be the only one who is able to see the item, and never ever leave it unguarded.'

'I see. And would that work the same with dark literature?' the boy replied.

"For dark literature such as spellbooks, I suggest disguising it if being it a normal book, then shrink it and put it into some pouch and attach it to your robe so you won't loos it. Don't forget to check for dark spells before considdering buying them.' The shopkeeper advised.

'That would be helpful, i think. How much will the Time Turner be?

'19 Gallions' The shopkeeper said.

'Make it twenty and ask the Goblins to retrieve it from vault 65B which is my personal vault.' Harry said.

'Good, will you sign here please?' asked the shopkeeper pulling an orderform and a quill towards Harry.

After Harry had signed the shopkeeper handed him the timeturner. Harry hung it around his neck. After asking Sliphis to hide back under his sleeve, he and the Malfoys went out of the shop.

'Have you already had breakfast?' asked the Elder Malfoy?

'Not yet, I considdered it to be better to do my business before the croud comes' Harry replied.

'I know a perfect restaurant some streets further, I will pay the bill'. The aristocrat said guiding both boys towards the place.

Harry smiled 'Well, that would then be my first birthday present.' He said.

'It is your birthday today?' The elder asked.

'it is indeed'. Harry comfirmed'.
