Harry Potter Potion Master

As the week past by for Harry in the cupboard, he had no clue that the house was being over flooded with letters of the same kind that were addressed to Harry. Each time the letters came, Vernon would destroy them. He did not want Harry to see the letters. However when the week of being stuck in the cupboard was up, it was Harry's birthday.

Vernon unlocked the cupboard and yanked it open. "All right. You can come out now." He growled. "But any more mistakes and it's back in the cupboard for you." He turned and stomped away from Harry.

Harry stepped out from his cupboard and into the hallway. Just as he was about to go into the kitchen to grab his list of chores for the day, the doorbell rang.

"Boy! Get back in your cupboard!" Vernon shouted as he thundered down the hall to the front door. "Remember, I want not a peep from you!"

Harry nodded quickly even though his uncle could not see him and turned around and hurried back into his cupboard. He closed the door behind him and turned off the light before putting his ear to the door to try and hear who had come to visit.

Vernon opened the door and saw a tall man in a all black suit. "How can I help you?" He asked, seeing as he did not know who the man was.

"My name is Severus Snape." the man sneered. "I'm here to pick up Potter to show him where to buy his school things."

"There is no Potter here." Vernon said stuttering. "I'm afraid you have the wrong house." his face started to turn pale that the man knew that the Boy was living here.

"This is number four privet drive is it not?" Severus asked with a scowl on his face. "Then Potter lives here. Get the lazy boy here so I can bring him to our shopping center."

Vernon then got angry, "I told you that there is no Harry Potter living here! Now go away and leave decent people in peace."

Severus was smug, "I never said his first name was Harry did I? He is living here. Now call him so we can go."

Vernon turned white in shock that he had been outwitted. Scowling he turned around and marched to the cupboard door and yanked it open. "Boy! Get out here and go with this Snape person." he grumbled unhapply.

Harry fell on the ground from leaning on the door trying to hear what was going on. Quickly he scrambled to his feet and nodded to Vernon, "Yes, sir." he said quietly before hurrying to the door and the man.

Snape watched this with a frown on his face, even though he hated the boy for being a Potter. He never liked abuse. "Come." He snapped as soon as Harry had reached his side. "We are going to get your school supplies." he then turned around and walked to the street, not even waiting to see if Harry had followed him.

Harry hurried to catch up, "Excuse me? But what school supplies? Are you talking about that letter I received? I thought it was a prank at first. But I can't pay for any of this! Or the school tuition." He stopped at Severus's elbow. "And my relatives would never let me go! How did I get into this school any way? I never went to school and never took tests to apply to a school."

Snape sighed in frustration and rubbed his temples. "Your parents have paid for your tuition when you were a baby. You have been on the books since you were small." He turned to look at Potter. "Your family left you money so you can pay for school supplies. Don't worry about you relatives keeping you from going. They will let you go or they will answer to me." he than held out an arm, "Now grab my arm. I'm going to apparate us there."

Harry looked at his arm to Severus face. "What's apparate?" he asked nervously.

Snape sighed again in frustration, "Think of it like teleportation." he answered, "now grab onto my arm and hold on tightly."

Harry nodded and grabbed with both hands. Next thing he knew, he felt like he was being squeezed through a tight hole and spun around. Then it stopped all at once. Bending over, he threw up what little he had in his stomach on the brick ground.

Severus grumbled a bit before pulling out his wand and vanishing the sick from the ground and what had splattered onto his and Potter's shoes. "People are sick the first time when side apparating." he explained as he waved a wand over his clothes, causing them to become robes.

Harry nodded weakly before straightening up. Looking up, he saw a large white building with short stout people with long fingers and armed with spears on either side of the entrance.

Snape walked quickly into the building with his long strides from his long legs, Harry had to lightly jog to keep up. As they got to the entrance of the building, Harry saw a large plack on the wall that warned off thieves or they would pay the price. Swallowing, Harry hurried up to reach Severus who had already reached a teller.

"We would like to make a withdrawal from Potter's vault." Snape told the goblin at the desk.

"Does Mr. Potter has his key?" the goblin asked as he pushed aside a pile of rubies.

Severus pulled out a small gold key from an inner pocket of his robes. "Here." he handed the key over for the goblin to examine.

The goblin turned it over in his hands for a second before passing it back to Snape. "I will have someone take you to the vault." he turned around and yelled out, "Griphook! Take these wizards to 's vault."

Griphook scurried forward and grabbed a nearby lantern. "This way." he mumbled. He walked quickly to a door in the back and pushed it open.

Severus and Harry followed Griphook to what was a wooden cart on rails in a tunnel. All three of them got in and Griphook pulled the lever and the cart quickly started down the tracks. Very quickly, the cart picked up speed until it was almost flying off the rails. Suddenly Griphook pulled the lever again and the cart came to a halt. All three of them got out of the cart and walked up to the vault.

"Key please." Asked Griphook with a slightly gravelly voice. When he got the gold key from Snape, he inserted it in the small keyhole and turned the lock. There was a small click and the doors opened.

Harry gasped as he saw the sight of his vault. Piles of gold were everywhere and so was piles of silver and bronze. Seeing a bag hanging inside the vault, he grabbed it and started filling it with handfuls of gold.

"The gold coins are called galleons, the silver sickles and the bronze knuts." Griphook said as he watched the young wizard fill his bag. "The bag your filling has a feather light charm and a charm so it will never get full"

After a few hundreds of galleons, Harry did the same for the sickles and knuts. He then exited vault and let it close behind him. Taking the key from Griphook he nodded to him, "Thank you." he said before getting back into the cart.

Griphook stood stunned for a few seconds at the fact that a wizard had thanked him a goblin. He then quickly snapped out of it and got into the cart himself. When all three of them were back in the cart, he pulled the handle and the cart sprung to life and started back up the tracks up to the bank floor. As soon as they got to the top, all three got out.

Harry smiled at Griphook, "Thanks again Griphook!" he said before quickly catching up to Severus. His short legs not being able to match Snapes long legs.

Griphook watched as the young wizard left the bank. One of his friends came up behind him.

"Did that wizard just thank you?" Rockleg asked in surprise.

Griphook nodded slowly, "I think we shall see interesting things from that young man." Griphook replied, "Interesting things."
