Chapter Two - Diagon Alley the path into the Unknown.

"Of course, I'll first have to pick up something up for the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore mind you, Harry. Good man Dumbledore, he trusts me yah see then well sort you out with yah shopping and you'll be all set for Hogwarts in no time." and then boomed with a laugh! An unlikely sized man beside a rather scrawny below average height boy of eleven, called Harry James Potter.
A few minutes later, after Harry re-enters the wizarding world since learning that he is a Wizard, History and Place in it, but it was anything but discreet it was by chaos erupting all around himself as just by entering the Leaky Cauldron. A near riot happened as most of the patrons of the pub began jumping all over themselves to thank Harry for his courage and triumph over evil, all those years ago.
For their world had entered a state of peace time footing after those tragic events but celebrated by most and honouring the dead. Whilst having a chance to hold or shake the boy-who-lived hands or both in most cases after Tom recognized Harry as Hagrid introduced him to Tom and as Harry suspected, he was the sharpest tool in the box shouts out "As I live and breathe its Harry! Harry Potter god bless my soul."
It was thus Harry's that then re-entry into the new world he found himself in had begun in earnest. Harry realised his life had gone from one extreme to another in his young life, obscurity to celebrity in moments and would never be the same again.
Meanwhile, Harry been following Hagrid and had walked into the courtyard via the door at the back of the Leaky Cauldron the dingy pub with its lacklustre appearance, of dust and dirt all around and about and it was that then that Harry had once again commented about how it wasn't a very impressive first impression to set for wizarding world of Great Britain was it for anyone or for any tourists, if any.
The entrance that would soon be revealed to Harry was located within a set of very high bricked walls on all four sides courtyard but before Hagrid revealed the entrance he, Harry had said this with a cheeky smile which was followed by laughs from them both of them, Hagrid said the best bit is yet to come and lead Harry to what looked like a non-descriptive wall part of the wall with their backs to the Leaky back-door as Harry had dubbed it in his mind and Hagrid then stated in a serious voice to Harry to remember the combination as he would need it in future to gain access the shopping district called Diagon Alley.
Harry watched the combination being entered into the wall by Hagrid gently tapping the end of his wand on certain bricks in a certain order and then all of a sudden, the wall coiled back into themselves to reveal a great archway that lead into Diagon Alley but before Harry walk through Hagrid said out loud with a note of pride "Welcome Harry! To Diagon Alley."

After entering Diagon Alley Hagrid pointed forwards to the end of the Alley and stated "Welcome Harry, to your first important site of your and too all wizards and witches and aids in your future wizarding career. Gringotts is this way Harry, pointing towards the Bank at the end of Diagon Alley. We'll get you some Galleons and then get yes school supplies all sorted and you'll be at the fresh start and the beginning of your wizarding life.
Harry Potter had to believe it would be an impressive day and would be a little exhausted after but still looking toward to seeing his new school, Hogwarts.

Hagrid had described it as a great ancient castle in the highlands of Scotland. Far, far away from the Dursley's and the smallest bedroom at Number four Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey.

Hopeful, Harry never wished to see that horrible hellhole again.

Harry was walking next to the friendly gentle giant as they approached the Potions shop. He was wondering how they would magically travel from London to Scotland? as a second thought occurred to Harry.

How did Hagrid travel to the rock in the middle of the sea?

When even he didn't now were it was located, and they had to use the same boat to leave that rock that the Dursley's used to get there.

Oh, before I forget, Hagrid searched an inner pocket for something and then proudly presented Harry with a gold ticket and spoke.
"Yeah, ticket for Hogwarts, Harry. First o' September at King's Cross it's all on yes ticket. Any problems with the Dursley's, send me a letter with yes owl, once you get one, it'll know where to find me."

A smiling Harry took the ticket and noticed a series of camera flashes out of the corner of his eye. He paused for a moment as he saw witches and wizard's holding a large black camera's that were smoking making a large plume of smoke in the air. Most turned and disappeared with a crack.

Harry blinked at the odd sight and then turned back to read the gold ticket. "London to Hogwarts? Platform nine and three-quarters at eleven o'clock?"

"That's right Harry. King's Cross station, platform nine and three-quarters at eleven o'clock, on September first. Don't be late as the Hogwarts Express leaves at exactly at eleven o'clock."

"But Hagrid? Aren't I going to Hogwarts with you later? Harry asked starting to get a little worried. Like together with you? Oh no, Harry. Professor Dumbledore gave me strict instructions to return you to your family Hagrid answered not noticing the concern in Harry's voice."

"But, they are not my family, Hagrid!" Harry reasoned. "They hate me, and they hate magic even more."

I am sorry, Harry. I would love to take you back with me, but Professor Dumbledore told me to return you to the Dursley's. Hagrid replied with sad eyes.

"But, after all those letters and having to travel all over the country to escape them would let you know what they are like.

Then, they will be so angry, and they will cheerfully beat me to a pulp and lock me in that cupboard under the stairs and not feed me for a month." Harry pleaded looking Hagrid directly.

"Oh, if they try that, just send me a letter with your owl and I will come and sort them out." Hagrid offered. "Surely they are not that bad."

"Uncle Vernon had a shotgun!...

...and then there was an explosion with a gigantic boom! A large golden Cauldron came flying out of the potion shop of Jiggers Potion Master and Apothecary missed Hagrid but unfortunately for Harry he was covered head to toe in the potion, the potion absorbed itself throughout Harry's body after chewing though his clothes.

All of sudden Harry fainted to a heap but before Hagrid could get to him, Harry was suddenly encased in a large spheroidal shield and began rise in middle of the air and the sphere was rotating and Harry changed into a female form and back to his original form and then to an above average form-fitting girl with long red hair, whilst his eye's remained the same emerald coloured eyes, whilst all this happened Harry was writhing within the air in the sphere, were a rather scrawny boy of eleven, called Harry James Potter was before!
A young healthy and average in height girl was now in Harry's place or rather herself and then all of a sudden her eyes lit up with the appearance of emerald lightning then let out an outrageously loud piercing scream as black vapour appeared and disappeared as quick as it came, and the sphere descended to the ground...

An off-duty St Mungo's Practitioner, who was on the scene shopping as he had witnessed the big change happening whilst consulting with the potioneer he and the potioneer was at a loss to explain the change himself the only thing he could think of that the cauldron must have been faulty as it was only a standard potion and could only think that when it exploded all the potion ingredients stored in the store had mixed to make his unique potion and would be completely unrepeatable as he'd never be able to replicate the said potion or counter potion.

His scans returned that there was nothing physically wrong, apart from the change.

Once Harry awoke Harry was shocked to see that he was now a young girl, oh he had the voice of a girl and all attributes, of becoming a female but had both minds of both sexes. After a change of wardrobe paid for as compensation from the potioneer which was a complete shock to the system as were the clothes themselves and the situation she found himself in.

Harry thought to himself, I thee name myself, Rose, Lily Potter, and she spoke it aloud clear and strong.

Quirinius Quirrel was a young wizard with a brilliant mind, he was just a professor of Muggle Studies before his travels, and now with his Mastery of Defence Against the Dark Arts and travelling experience around the world learning from diverse cultures around the world and his latest appointment at Hogwarts after finishing an expedition to Albania.

Was sat in a booth in the Leaky Cauldron awaiting Lucius Malfoy for an appointment on the premise of the advantages he could bring to Draco Malfoy's upcoming first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, to his future grades and private training and then Lucius Malfoy had just floo'ed into the Leaky Cauldron.
Lucius strolled over as if he owned the place with a look of disgust at Harry Potter and Hagrid being at completely at different end of the spectrum.
Quirinius Quirrel and Lucius Malfoy shook hands, then sat down at the table as on then Quirinius cast a privacy ward and silencing ward nexus within the air after confirming with Lucius for Permission.
Quirinius Quirrel and without preamble he was never one of those for small talk, so he cast an Imperious Curse at Lucius, and clearly stated that his mission was to infiltrate Gringotts Bank and access vault 713 by any way possible and retrieve the Philosopher's Stone hidden within and if seen assassinate anyone whom get in your way and return the package to me for my master here do not be seen after retrieving the object.
