Harry and Hermione shook off the weirdness and started walking again. Hermione, maybe you should go to the book shop, while Harry gets a familiar. Fate suggested.

Hermione relayed the message to Harry and he agreed to part ways. The bushy haired girl practically ran to the book shop. Tombs and Skulls. She walked inside and breathed in the mustiness. She nodded to the person behind the counter and rushed to the back of the small shop. The books you need are on the second shelf. I'm not sure what they're called. Time just said that you'd know. Fate said sheepishly.

Hermione pulled out a random book from the shelf and flipped to a random page. In 1457, the cruscatius curse was invented to torture the muggles that would invade wizards homes and cut off they're heads with swords. The children born to the horrid muggles were killed the same way. Sometimes the muggles would drown the cry-

Hermione slammed the book closed and panted heavily. Definitely not that one!

Nope. Maybe you should look at the titles first? Fate said horrified.

Hermione nodded shakily and picked up another Magic. By Melinda Chang. Hermione grabbed the book and flipped to page 32. Grey magic is also classified as magic that can either be malicious or helpful. The levitation charm can be used to drop someone off of a cliff or to stop them from falling off of the cliff.

Hermione grinned and set to work getting the other spell books necessary.

Meanwhile Harry had walked to the pet store Animals and Things . He scrunched up his nose. Not very original is it? Time asked sarcastically.

Harry shrugged and made his way to the snakes. He could here snippets of their conversations and had to stifle his laughter. #Ugh! Thessse sstupid humansss. Why can't we bite them? # A sapphire snake complained.

#Because we're inside cages. And if you would stop stretching your S's. You are such a stereotype Edward! # An emerald snake responded.

Harry looked closer at her. The snake was maybe one foot long and had emerald scales. She was very pretty.

# What is your name? # Harry asked.

#A speaker? Haven't seen one of you in a long time. Why are you disguised young one? # The snake replied.

# I don't wish to be seen in Nocturne. I am Harry by the way. # Harry gave the snake a smile.

# Well nice to meet you Harry. I am Emma. # The snake hissed.

#Well Emma, how would you feel about becoming my familiar? # Harry asked.

The snake thought for a moment. # Only if my brother Edward can come along. He may be an idiot, but I love him anyways. # She replied.

Do you think 'Mione would mind if I gave Edward to her? He asked Time.

Probably not. Gembacks are very protective of their owners she'd be safer. Time mused.

Harry nodded and walked to the front of the shop. "I would like the sapphire and emerald Gem Backs." He said softly, but firmly.

"That'll be 100 galleons each." The man smirked, clearly not believing that he, well she in the man's eyes, had the money.

Harry smirked right back and pulled out his bag of galleons. The man glared and walked to the tanks they were in.

The time traveler exited the store with the snakes in hand. Harry walked back to the wand shop while making small talk with Emma and Edward. The bell jingled as they walked in. Hermione was already waiting and barely bat an eye at the snakes. Maglen appeared and waved them to the back room. She picked up Hermione's wand first and slowly handed it to Hermione. Hermione picked up the wand and gasped. Blue sparks shot out of it and floated around her. She smiled at Harry. "Well, go on." She urged.

Maglen handed his wand to him. Harry grabbed it and gasped. It was like sparks in his body. He felt connected. It was strange, but in a good way.

Hermione turned to him. "I think we're ready to take on the world."
