Harry was awoken by the thumping of Dudley's excited feet running down the stairs, and Petunia's screams to get up and make breakfast. As he mumbled to himself and did as he was told, he tried to ignore his spoiled, self obsessed 'cousin' complain
about the amount of presents he got.
After getting to the zoo and seeing and speaking to the snake, he sat in the cupboard trying to figure out why he is hated to such a degree. Then, it all started to come together like pieces of a puzzle, it must have something to do with magic.
He didn't realize he had magic, just that it was involved.

It is the next couple of days, other wise know as the day before Harry's birthday and he was finally allowed out of the cupboard. When he is sent to get the mail, he sees that there is a letter for him. Not wanting it to get taken from him,
he slipped it into his cupboard. He then, gives Vernon the rest of the mail as if nothing happened. As soon as he was done was done with his chores for the day, he waits in the cupboard for everyone to fall asleep. Once everyone falls asleep, he pulls
out the letter and his flashlight.

After Harry read this, he grabbed his backpack and put all of his stuff that he needed or was attached to. Meaning, his bag was almost empty except for clothes, school supplies, and the letter. He put his eye patch back on even though he could see through
his marked eye perfectly fine. He was curious as to where it came from. The last thing he remembers about it was sapphire eyes that glowed in the dark.
When Harry had all of his stuff ready to go, he slowly got out of the cupboard and out the front door without making a sound. He then, went over to the garden and pulled out his tool box. When he opened the box, he took apart parts of things inside and
the box, to grab all of the money he found on the ground outside. He then remembered something, while walking away from the house. had said something about the Leaky Cauldron Pub and saw his 'aunt' freeze at the name. He also remembered her
saying that he was not allowed into London ever. So, Harry figured that he had to go to London to find the Leaky Cauldron; and that someone there might be able to help him.
Since Harry had saved all the money he found outside on the, he had just enough money to get to Downtown London on the train. When he arrived, he figured that magicals would hide from those who aren't so. He looked around the more rundown part of London
and soon found what he was looking for. Entering the pub, he went to the man behind the bar. Introducing himself, he asked Tom ( once he was told the name) how he could get his school supplies. Tom decided that he would he would take Harry to Gringotts
and help Harry get around a little so he wouldn't get lost. Harry thanked him and they soon entered Diagonal Alley and headed to Gringotts.
Once Harry hafar river safely with Tom, he was taken to a teller so that he could an inheritance check and get out his money. After the speaking affair with the goblin was over, Tom took his leave so the goblins could do what needed to be done.
