An eleven-year-old boy with messy raven-black hair and emerald-green eyes sat in his account manager's office at Gringotts Bank in Diagon Alley, the magical shopping district hidden away in London.
The boy was Harrison James Potter, Heir to the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter and the Boy Who Lived, thanks to being the only person is known to survive the killing curse, Avada Kedavra, the night the Dark Lord Voldemort killed his parents.
Harrison or Harry as he preferred to be called had been left with his relatives, the Dursleys by the Great Wizard, Albus Dumbledore that night but luckily for Harry, he was rescued by one of House Potter's elves and brought to Potter Manor, the ancestral home of House Potter.
Over the next few years, Harry grew up under the watchful eyes of Mispy and the other House Potter elves.
When he reached the age of six, Harry started school, learning everything he could, and making friends with his classmates.
The years passed by, and Harry continued to grow up, becoming a smart, loving, and caring young boy. He had met with his family's business partners and their children, many times over that period.
He had made friends with Daphne Greengrass, Susan Bones, Theodore Nott, Tracey Davis, and Padma Patil when he met them, finding out that they were fun, kind, and friendly people.
The office door opened as Triekt, the goblin account manager who managed The Potter family accounts. He was wearing a black three-piece suit.
"Good morning Heir Potter, how are you?" asked the goblin.
"Very well, Triekt, I hope our investments are going well" replied Harry with a smirk.
"Very well, Harrison. The investments in Sony, Apple, and Microsoft had tripled in the last day. Samsung, Nokia and LG had doubled too. I wasn't sure that investing in Muggle companies would be a good idea but it seems I was wrong" laughed Triekt.
"I'm happy to learn that Triekt. Now I should visit my trust vault and grab some money for my Hogwarts supplies" said Harry.
"Already sorted, Harrison" replied Triekt passing the boy a black bank card. "It's a new enchanted bank card, which can be used in the Muggle world as well as our own"
"Sweet, that's going to solve a lot of problems for me" joked Harry.
Harry stood up, before shaking Triekt's hand and then left the office, heading down the corridor to the large entrance hall. A minute later, Harry was standing in Diagon Alley. He pulled out his Hogwarts letter, flipping it to the second page. He started reading the list:

Harry folded the letter up, returning it to his jeans pocket before heading to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions for his school robes. He entered, walked up to Madam Malkin, and waited.
"Hogwarts, dear?" she asked.
"Yes, Acromantula Silk, black, three sets, one standard black hat, a pair of high-quality dragonhide gloves, and an Acromantula Silk winter cloak, black, silver fastenings. Name tags for all of them under the name Harrison James Potter" Harry replied smirking.
"Of course, Heir Potter, it will take an hour for me to make the order," said Madam Malkin. " The total amount is 12 Galleons"
Harry passed over his new Gringotts card and paid for his order. He exited and walked down the Alley, stopping at Flourish and Blotts for his textbooks. He bought them and one other book, Curses and Counter-Curses by Professor Vithitus Viridian.
When he finished, he popped into a few other shops, buying his other supplies before returning to Madam Malkin's. Harry exited ten minutes later with a very large package.
"Right, only one thing left, a wand, Ollivanders or maybe I should see about a special custom-made wand" thought Harry carefully.
He decided he would go and see if he could get a custom-made wand. He slowly entered Knockturn Alley, making his way to Thor's Forge, a specialist wandmaker, whom his grandfather Charlus Robert Potter had visited on his 11th birthday.
Harry entered the store, meeting a very tall man with brown hair and beard, ocean-blue eyes, and a muscular physique.
"Hello, I'm Harry, and I was wondering if you could please craft me a wand," Harry asked the man.
"Well, Harry, the first question are you related to Charlus Richard Potter by any chance?" asked the man.
"Yes, he was my grandfather, sadly I never got the chance to meet him, but I hope I can live up to his legacy" Harry replied proudly.
"Good, I'm Angus Thor, owner, and master wandmaker," the man said. "and I will be honored to craft a wand for another Potter, please follow me"
They walked through the store, and out into a large workshop.
"Right, Harry, I would like you to close your eyes and reach out with your magic and summon the items that respond to you," said Angus.
Harry nodded, walked into the centre, sat down on the floor, and closed his eyes. He sat there for twenty minutes before he felt the first reaction to his magic, but after that it was instantaneous.
When he opened his eyes, he saw two blocks of wood and three jars.
"Wow, it is most surprising, the woods which have reacted are Alder and Holly, interesting. Now the jars contain the materials used for the core. Interesting that your magic chose these three. First, the heartstring of an Ukrainian Ironbelly, second, the grounded-up horn of a Horned Serpent and finally the venom of a 600-year-old Basilisk. This will be a very powerful wand, Harry. I require some blood to use in the making of your wand to ensure that no one else but you can even use it" said Angus.
Harry grabbed a small bowl and dagger, cutting the palm of his right hand open, and collected it in the bowl. When enough had been collected the cut healed itself.
"It will take me roughly a week to craft your wand, Harry, and it cost about 275 Galleons" laughed Angus.
Harry passed Angus, his black Gringotts card.
"Add an Auror-issue wand holster as well," said Harry.
"Ok, the total is 350 Galleons"
"Good, I'll send Horus to collect it," said Harry as Angus handed back Harry's card.
Harry left, heading back to the Leaky Cauldron to floo back to Potter Manor, where Mispy would have dinner prepared. Ten minutes later he exited the floo in the grand entrance hall of Potter Manor.
"Young Master Harry, how was Diagon Alley today" asked Mispy, the head house elf of House Potter.
"Good, Triekt was very impressed with my knowledge of Muggle companies," said Harry.
"Ok, dinner will be ready in five minutes, which gives you just enough time to take your shopping to your room. I have retrieved your father's trunk from the attic, placing it in your room" replied Mispy.
"Thank you, Mispy, I will head up and put my things away," said Harry.
Harry headed upstairs to his bedroom on the top floor. He entered the room and found his father's old school trunk in front of his bed. He placed his new school supplies on his bed.
He returned to the entrance hall, before going into the kitchen where Mispy was plating up Harry's dinner of Steak and Kidney Pie, mashed potatoes, carrots, peas, and gravy.
Harry went over to the large dining table and sat down as Mispy brought his dinner over to him.
"This looks wonderful as always, Mispy," said Harry as he cut into the golden brown pie.
Mispy smiled before leaving Harry to eat. When he finished, Harry returned to his room to pack his trunk, leaving his books unpacked.
Harry spent the next week, reading and studying his Hogwarts books in preparation for his lessons. He found that he was interested in Transfiguration, Potions, and Charms the most, followed by Defence Against the Dark Arts. He had sent Horus, his Eagle owl to collect his wand and holster during that week.
When he opened the box, he found a beautifully crafted wand. He slowly removed it as his body sang, and his magic flared with new power. Mispy and the other elves told him later, that they saw his magical aura when he pulled his wand out of that wand.
