Disclaimer I don't own Harry Potter.


Harry grinned in amazement as they step through the archway to the busy street of Diagon Alley, Harry was looking all over the place trying to take everything in as they pass many different shops and Harry looks down at his school list "Professor?" Harry said looking up at Snape with concern "How am I going to pay for all of this? I have no money and Uncle Vernon wouldn't pay for it ether." Harry begins to panic.

"What your Uncle wants doesn't matter. Your money is in safety keeping at Gringotts own by Goblins." Snape said taking Harry inside a building in the middle of Diagon Alley, inside were goblin busy with paper work and Harry was looking around at them. "Its rude to stare Mr. Potter, Goblins are not very friendly to people who shown them disrespect." Snape said leading Harry to front desk. Snape clears his throat to get the goblin's attention "We're here to make a withdraw from Mr. Potter's vault."

"You have his key, sir?"

"Obviously." Snape said taking a key out of his pocket "And there something else Dumbledore gave me this." Snape said pulling a letter out of his pocket and handed it over to the Goblin "Its about you know involving you know." Snape said.

"Very well." the goblin said reading the letter "I will have someone take you to both vaults. Griphook!" the goblin called out.

Griphook lead Snape and Harry to room at the end of the hallway inside the room was a cart on a railroad track "Step inside please." Griphook said as Snape and Harry did as they told and enter the cart. Griphook whistled and the small cart hurtled up the towards the tracks going in so many different turns that Harry couldn't keep up, Snape who wouldn't never attempt to anyone actually enjoy the ride to vaults. The cart stopped at a small door in a passage hall and they climbed out and Griphook unlocked the door to Harry Potter vault and Snape helped Harry pile some money in a bag and explained the worth of different coins, before heading back to the cart.

"Vault 713, stand back" Griphook said as this door had to be open with magic.

"What is in that vault Professor?" Harry said.

"What is in there, is none of concern Mr. Potter." Snape said as he enters the room taking something wrapping in a small brown sack and heads back to the cart and after another bumpily ride they were brought back to wear there started and walked outside of Gringotts.

"Might as well starts with your schools robes." Snape said taking Harry inside Madam Malkin's robes store holding the door for the young lad.

"Severus, I'm dear lad I didn't know you had a son. " Malkin said looking down smiling at Harry "Hogwarts, dear?"

"Yes Hogwarts, and no I was never blessed with child." Snape looking at Malkin then lookings down at Harry "If you need me. I will be over there looking at some new robes." Snape said looking at far corner of the store as Harry nods up at him.

"Just finished up with young lad, come this way we will get you fitted." Malkin said leading Harry to stool next to another redhead boy.

"Hogwarts too? Its my first year" he asked.

"Yes" Harry said.

"Play Quidditch?" the boy asked.

"No." Harry said wondering what that was.

"What house do you hope you your in, me I hope it Gryffindor I'm family been in Gryffindor seen ages. Imagine be a Slytherin I would quit on day one." the boy said. Harry remember something about Snape saying he is head of Slytherin. "Look over there, that has to be the scariest man I ever seen." the boy said as Harry looks over to see what the boy was looking what he was Snape looks through some robes, Harry gives him a smile and he nods back at him.

"That's Professor Snape." Harry said.

"Snape! My brothers told me about him, they say he's a greasy git and knows all kinds of dark magic. You see the sizes of his nose its huge." the boy said.

"I think he's brilliant." Harry said coldly to the boy "he's been helping me with getting my school supplies." Harry was beginning to dislike this kid and was thankful when he walked off as Snape heads over to Harry.

"Making friends?" Snape asked.

"No!"
