Harry let out a deep sigh as he went over his normal training routine, this time however was his first time doing the routine since Shisui had died. Harry had spent the last two days crying, and quite frankly he had been ignoring his health and hygiene. It was when he was reflecting upon Shisui's final words to him that Harry realised how disappointed Shisui would be with Harry for wallowing in self-pity and not living his life and going by his normal routine
However, Harry was still only going through the motions all he could think about was Shisui and his future. What was he meant to do now? Where did he go with his life from now?
Harry had completed his training and trudged back to the kitchen still deep in thought. He was for the second time in his life, lost. The first time he felt this way was when he first met Shisui, he was lost then because he didn't know whether to say yes or no to Shisui's offer but now he's lost because he didn't know what to do with his life.
He rested his head against the table moving his Hogwarts letter out of the way. WAIT! That's what he's going to do with his life. He mentally face-palmed how could he forget about Hogwarts! He will have to go shopping today for his stuff, he should still have access to the Potter vault and they were loaded. They certainly wouldn't notice a few galleons missing. Also, they probably owe Harry 25x more than that for everything they had done.
Harry thought of the Potters for the first time in years. He and Shisui had been cut off from the outside world. The only owl that ever arrived was the one that was carrying his Hogwarts letter
Harry allowed himself a brief smile, which was his first one in days, at the thought of going to Hogwarts. He'd always wanted to go there as a kid hearing stories of Padfoot and Mooney. Harry hoped they were okay, them two and Dumbledore were the only ones who loved him.
Harry picked up the Hogwarts letter and began reading it, he never actually read it he was too concerned about losing Shisui. The letter read...

Now Harry had his list he took a final sip of his coffee before walking over to the fireplace and flooing into Diagon Alley but not before casting a basic glamour charm, he had learnt to change his hair and eye colour. He didn't want to run into the Potters or one of the 10 people who knew about his existence. He came out the other side with a tumble, he hated wizard transport so much that it made him wish he could do Jutsu so he could use body flicker. He pulled himself off the floor vowing to himself to create a way to travel like body flicker
Harry took in his surroundings as for the first time it dawned on him. He hadn't left Shisui's house in more than 3 years. He was in what looked to be a pub with many witches and wizards gossiping among themselves about God-knows-what.
"Hello and welcome to the leaky cauldron how can I help you today!" a firm hand slapped him on his back scaring him
"U-uhh how do I get into Diagon Alley?"
"It's simple lad I'll take you to the entrance now"
"Thank you"
The bartender took him towards the back of the pub and to a brick wall that, with a quick tap of the bartender's wand opened up to reveal Diagon Aleey. There were no words that could describe this Alley other than a teenage girl's wet dream, shop upon shop stretched down as far as the eye could see and down the bottom of it was a big white marble structure.
"You will want to go to Gringotts first to get money, it's that big white building down the bottom"
"Thank you for all your help..."
"Just call me Tom"
"Thanks, Tom"
Harry bidded the bartender farewell as he took a casual stroll down Diagon Alley, everywhere around him felt magical as things that he couldn't make out were whizzing over his head it was beautiful
Finally after about 20 minutes of walking down the Alley. Harry came to the steps of Gringotts. He didn't know what to expect when he opened the doors but what he definitely didn't expect was fucking goblins working there
Harry knew Goblins existed and probably should've known that they owned Gringotts but when he studied magic he never actually focused on magical history instead he focused on the spells and potions themselves
Harry stood as calm and collected as possible as he approached one of the free goblin tellers
"Er hello I need to withdraw some money"
"What's your name and do you have your key" the goblin replied snobbishly like he didn't care about Harry's existence and he probably didn't but come on have some sort of manners at least
"Harry Potter and no I don't have my key"
"Well no key no entry" the goblin spat with a smug grin on his face
Fuck
This was bad for Harry he had one last idea hoping to God Shisui had set up a bank account with these creatures
"Alright well can I potentially the will reading of a loved one"
"What's his name"
"Shisui Uchiha"
"Hang on a moment" The feral thing hopped off his seat and went into a room behind him. He reappeared about 2 minutes later
"Yes Shisui Uchiha started a vault a couple of years ago, he has left everything in your name"
Harry broke out into a huge grin thanking Shisui silently, he quickly composed himself "What is the status of his vault and everything in there?"
"Currently it has 58,362 galleons in there"
Okay, Harry was shocked. How Shisui had so much money baffled him
"He was a loyal Gringotts customer who took a few contracts for us" the Goblin explained seemingly reading his mind Harry didn't want to ask about what contracts he was pretty sure he could guess what kind. Assassination.
"Can I get money from it now, please?"
"Yes of course right this way"
Harry was an adrenaline junkie but that doesn't mean for a second he liked any bit of the ride down to the vault. It was terrifying and nearly made his coffee come back up. Glad it was over he got off the wretched cart and approached a silver vault door that the goblin opened for him, saying his thanks, Harry walked inside
Gold. That was all he could see anywhere and everywhere from top to bottom was just gold galleons. Of course, he was nowhere near as rich as the old families like the Potters, Blacks and Malfoys but he could comfortably live his life off this one vault.
However, all the gold wasn't the only thing that caught Harry's eye. There was a black book bestowed upon a pedestal that had the words 'For Harry Potter' on the front cover Harry took the book and placed it in his pocket promising himself to read it later
"Thank you that will be all for now"
The Goblin just nodded his bead as he shut the vault door and motioned for Harry to get back in that wretched cart.
Harry barely stopped himself from being sick as he stumbled out of Gringott's big Golden doors and into the packed Alley
Looking over his list he decided he would go and get his robes first as that was the closest to Gringotts. Entering Madame Malkins Robes for all occasions he spotted two people currently in there and one made his heart stop dead. A girl w
with luscious dark brown hair and brown eyes and a boy with red hair and green eyes...
Adrian Potter.
He sighed knowing he was going to have to meet them at one point or another, he walked into the shop and the door sounded with a little chime. He could already hear Adrian's bragging from here. He hoped Adrian had changed but, apparently not
"Hello dear welcome to Madam Malkins Robes For Every Occasion what can I do for you" a blond woman welcomed with a bright smile
"Just standard school robes please"
"Alright go stand next to them two up there"
"-and that's why I'd never want to be Slytherin" Adrian Potter finished. Harry didn't care what they were talking about and did not bother listening
As he stepped up onto the stool Adrian looked at him expectantly "What?" Harry asked confusion etched upon his face
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself to your betters?"
"What?"
"Yes, me, the boy who lived and this girl next to me is my friend so we are better than you" He said boasting
"Never heard of you mate," Harry asked pretending to know nothing, He knew who he was very well but it was fun to watch him get riled up
"Oh, you're a muggle-born then, well I'm only the best wizard of all time and the killer of the dark lord"
"Nah I'm not a muggle-born I just couldn't give a toss who you are."
Adrian Potter and the girl next to him jaws both dropped to the ground
"WELL YOU SHOULD KNOW WHO I AM I'M ADRIAN POTTER VANQUISHER OF HE WHO MUST NO BE NAMED" Adrian all but screamed
"Can't even say Voldemort's full name" Harry rolled his eyes
The girl gaped at him in shock while Adrian cowered
"Cowering at his name, really brave" Harry drawled
"Shut up!"
"No thanks"
"Can both of you stop bitching" the girl said clearly annoyed with the both of them
"I'm not bitching I just don't care who he is and he's taking offence to it" Harry defended himself
"Mr Potter, your robes are done." Madam Malkin
Harry nearly stepped away before realising she was of course talking to Adrian
"Now then what's your name?" Harry asked the girl
"Why so you can mock me too" the girl spat
"Why would I mock you, unless you are as arrogant as him you will be fine"
"Hayley. Hayley Nolton" Harry froze that was why she looked familiar, she was the girl he saved on the day he met Shisui
"Nice to meet you I'm Harry," he said after regaining his composure
"No last name?" she raised an eyebrow
"I've got one but you can find out when we get to Hogwarts" Harry responded with a wink
"Fine"
"Mrs Nolton your robes are done"
"See you at Hogwarts." The girl sent a smile his way
"See you"
—————————————————————————
It was 4 hours later when Harry walked into Olivanders to get his wand, he had made quite a few purchases today including his snowy white owl Hedwig
"Ahh Mr. Potter I was wondering when you would show up." A soft voice sounded from behind him
"How did you know it was me Mr. Olivander" Harry said as he spun round to see Mr. Olivander
"Would you believe me if I said magic?" Olivander said with a smirk
Harry just let out a chuckle in response as Olivander took his place behind the desk.
"So young Potter I'm assuming you're here for your wand"
"Yes please"
"Of course how about we try this one, Ash wood with a Phoenix core and 13 inches long"
Harry took the wand out of the box and immediately a shelf fell down and smashed a glass vase
"Sorry" Harry sheepishly said as Olivander fixed it
"Do not worry about it."
Harry stood there trying wands for the next hour and a half. All coming to a similar result as the first one.
"Well then Mr Potter looks like there's one final one left Holly and Phoenix Feather."
Harry soon grabbed it as he felt something flow through his body and into the wand. He instantly knew this was the wand for him
"Curious very curious."
"What curious?"
"I had expected that wand to go to your brother as the wand's brother is the one that gave your brother his scar."
Harry's eyes widened at this as he soon went to take his leave and go home
"Thanks for everything Mr Olivander, I need to get going"
"Goodbye, Mr. Potter I expect great things from you"
Harry soon left the shop as he walked down Diagon Alley and back to the floo with a smile on his face.
His first day in the wizarding world had gone very well in his opinion.
