AN:

Hi Guys, It has been a long time since I last updated this story and I was reading over it and decided to rewrite it since I wrote this story years ago. I hope you enjoy the changes that I made. Any suggestion you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all my readers for reading.

Disclaimer: Characters and setting all come from the harry potter books and as such I do not own them. The plot however is all mine.

CONTAINS SLASH DONT READ IF YOU DONT LIKE

Harry exited the bank and quickly walked around the corner when he saw Mrs. Weasley approaching. He needed time to think after everything he had just heard. Maybe he should stay in Diagon Alley for a while instead of going back to the burrow.

He stayed in a back alley till Mrs. Weasley had entered the bank before heading off down the alley. His first stop was the Trunk store. When Harry was in first year he had gotten a nice trunk, the only problem being that it had no protection and after all the rough treatment it had had in the past four years it was getting old. The trunk shop was only about a hundred meters away so it didn't take long to push past the crowd of young children with their parents trying to find everything they needed for the year ahead. The store was old and dark with dust piling up on the shelves that littered the walls. Harry was just about to turn around and leave when he heard someone clear their throat. He looked around but couldn't see anyone so turned back around to go back out side. He could come back later.

"May I help you?" A voice asked softly from behind him. Harry slowly turned around and found himself looking at an old man.

"Umm, I was looking for a new trunk." Harry replied. Harry could feel the shop keeper's eyes on him as he looked around the store and felt really self-conscious about it. He had always hated people staring at him and that hate hadn't lessened as the years went on. It reminded him that everyone was using him. No one wanted Just Harry, they all wanted something from him and he hated it.

"What kind of trunk would you like? Just a standard school trunk?" The shop owner's voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"Nah I am looking for something with more room and protections. I was thinking one with multiple locks. I think that would be pretty awesome." He was planning on buying a lot more things now that he had access to his money and he needed some way to keep everything organized.

"Are you sure kid, those trunks are really expensive." The shop keeper questioned.

"Yeah I'm sure." Harry spoke with a commanding tone. The shop keeper nodded and walked to the back of the store.

"This is where I store my multiple compartment trunks. I have 3 lock trunks over to your right, 5 lock trunks in the middle and those to you left are my 7 lock trunks. What would you like to look at first?"

"I want the best trunk you have." Harry said hoping to sound sure of himself. He didn't want to waste money on second best.

"Ok, well this trunk here," he pointed to the trunk that sat in the very left corner. "This is my best trunk. It's got 5 empty compartments as well as a Library room and an apartment." He explained as we walked over to the corner. "It has the best security we can offer with Password locks on the empty compartments and magical locks on the other 2 compartments. It's also fire and water proof and can withstand most curses and jinxes."

"It's very nice sir, but it's not really what I'm looking for. Do you make all of these trunks by yourself sir?" He asked. When the shop keeper nodded harry continued "Can you make me a trunk?"

"I can but it will be really expensive. I'm not sure you will be able to afford it." He put forward, "it will also take me a bit longer than usual as it is busy season. It should take about a week and a half"

He thought that over for a minute before nodding.

"Don't worry about the cost. I can pay it. I would like it to have 10 compartments. Inside I want there to be a Training room, an apartment, a games room, a potions lab, a library and 5 empty compartments. I would also like a Magic activated secret compartment on the outside of the trunk to put my wand in. Can you also make it shrink when I tap it with my wand? As well as adding all the security features you know. "Harry watched as the shop keeper wrote everything down

"I will send you an owl when it is complete. It will cost about 30000 Galleons. I'll see you then. Good-bye" he said as he pushed me out of the store.

He was heading towards flourish and blotts when he came across Twilfitt and Tatting's, it appeared to be a clothing store with all types of wizarding clothes. Looking down at his hand me down clothes he decided to go in. He might as well get some better clothes. He could definitely afford it now.

He was slightly intimidated by the amount of clothing in the store. He had never been clothes shopping before and had no idea where to start. Luckily one of the staff came over and offered him some help.

"yes thank you, as you can see I don't have much knowledge in fashion let alone in wizarding fashion and I have no idea what I needto buy." He explained.

"That's alright dear I can help you with that. We will start with the basics and you can decide what else you would like after that.' Harry smiled and thank the store keeper. She sent him to the dressing room with a selection of outfits to try on.

"I think we will stick to the darker colours, blues, greens and black would suit you perfectly and all in the best material." She picked out a bunch of things and set them at the counter. "Black slacks would work well, and some jeans too." She continued picking things out and adding them to the pile.

"That should do for the moment and if you have anything else you need I can make them custom for you." She headed back over to the counter and started ringing up the purchases.

"I am going to need a full wardrobe and some new robes and things aswell as a new pair of boots." He said once she had finished.

"Certainly I will add them to the list and can owl you when I have everything finished. These will be 43 galleons and 17 sickles if you please." After paying for his clothes he put on the first outfit before asking the lady to owl him the rest of the packages. Once she had agreed he left the store and headed to the book store. As he had explained to Magnod he needed to learn more about the wizarding world.

He started in the history section before heading over to the culture section. He picked up a few books from each before heading over to the counter. He also picked up his books for this year, he was planning to read through them before the year started. He had just picked up the last book when he came across a table filled with books. The books were from all different kinds of topics. One was a book on animagus and how to become one while there was another on mind arts. Also there were three books on defense two on potions and a couple of transfiguration and charms as well as a book on languages and translation spells. There was one on runes as well. They looked interesting so Harry decided to add them to the pile. He headed up to the counter and paid for all the books before heading to the Leaky Cauldron to hire a room. He would spend tonight thinking before starting on the books in the morning. He was going to be ready when the school year began no one was going to hold him back this year.

AN/ Leave a review with any ideas you have. I already have some plans for this story but please leave any suggestions.
