After lunch Harry decided to make his way to the room of requirement and see what he could find in the room of hidden things. He had a list of items that would be helpful to have. He used the parsell passageways to quickly get to the seventh floor unseen. Walking in front of the door three times, he made his way into the room of hidden things, or Hogwarts lost and found. Inside it was just as chaotic as he remembered. things everywhere stacked haphazardly in tall piles. Remembering how the room can change to suit you he put his hand on the wall, closed his eyes, and pushed a small bit of his magic into the castle; asking for the items to be sorted. Luggage in one area, broken furniture in another etcetera, and as a last minute thought he asked for any galleons, sickles, and knuts to be left in a small pile close to him. It was a long shot but people lost coins all the time.
Opening his eyes he was pleased to see the room looked more orderly. Looking more closely at his immediate surroundings he saw a few piles of coins. The pile of knuts was substantially bigger than the other two. Still he was impressed with how much there was. A small stack of seven galleons thirtytwo sickles and he wasn't going to count the knuts; it was a sizable pile. Next he wanted to find as many trunks with a shrinking runic array on as possible. Hearing scraping he turned to see a pile of trunks rearranging itself into two piles. Guessing the much smaller pile was the one he wanted he walked over. In total there were about thirteen trunks, he looked through all of them testing the runes on each. In the end five were serviceable, all had shrinking and feather weight runic arrays carved in. Out of those, three had expanded interiors, and one of those had three compartments. the one with the largest space he shrunk down and put in his pocket reserving its use for transporting the basilisk. Levitating the rest, he put them near the entrance.
"Would you mind sorting through the books, removing any duplicates and splitting the rest into three piles please. one pile for any that are in the school library, another pile for any in the restricted section, and the last for any not found in the library at all." again movement was heard, and he saw the books disappearing and sorting themselves. "Thank you." he could feel the Hogwarts magic practically beaming at him like a child being praised. Not surprisingly the pile of books that the library didn't have consisted of mostly darker and borderline illegal tomes. There were a few home care and advanced magic books scattered through as well. He removed a few of the books but not many. Opening the trunk that had three compartments he levitated all the books inside. Moving on to the next pile; he decided all the restricted tomes would be coming with him and levitated them in; switching the compartment part way through, when the first one was full. Looking to the last and largest pile he paused. There was a good chance he didn't need them all, but he didn't have a clear enough mind to go through them just yet and even though there in the library doesn't mean that, the golden boy, the boy who's allergic to books could be seen reading them. Deciding again that this is something that should be dealt with later, he levitated all the books into the second and third compartment. With that done he shrunk down the trunk and put it in his pocket.
He walked back over to the luggage section. And felt Hogwarts magic surge, it felt curious and… impatient? "Im looking for a satchel and something that will act like a coin purse. Would you like to help?" The magic around him buzzed in excitement as the bags were shuffled around. Two satchels were pushed forward. One was brown leather with bronze clasps, and had been well used. The other was black leather with silver clasps. It was embossed with a pattern of intertwining leaves and vines. They were both made to be feather light and had expansion charms placed on them. He really liked the black but knew if anyone saw him with it there would be questions. He could use it next year and say he bought it in diagon, but for now he would use the brown. picking up both, he shrunk the black and placed both it and the two shrunken trunks in one of the side pockets. He felt an impatient push of magic and looked to see a collection of velvet drawstring bags. None of them matched but that was fine. picking three at random, he put all the galleons in the black one, all the sickles in the purple one and a few handfuls of knuts in the red one, then placed all three in an inside pocket of his satchel.
"Would you be able to show me Ravenclaw's diadem?" The magic around him went cold. slowly, hesitantly it nudged him in the right direction. It stopped when he got in front of a set of shelves that held more than just the diadem, and Harry wondered how people could lose some of this stuff. There were several pairs of earrings, a few necklaces and more than a few rings. Harry was pretty sure most if not all were set with real gems in them. There was even a pair of what looked like gold ritual daggers encrusted with blood red gems and engraved with runes. All of this was coming with him. He summoned over the smallest of the trunks left, the rest of the velvet bags and packed everything away, taking special care with the diadem. He would find a safe place to put both it and the diary later. He would need all the horcruxes in one place to kill Tom quickly, or as a peace offering depending on what he decided later.
There was one last thing. "is there any potions equipment like vials or glass jars." he felt something like a conformation, and was nudged until he stood in front of what he assumed to be the remains of Neville and Seamuse's cauldrons from the past two years. Another nudge had him looking to the side where racks of vials were stacked next to empty jars. He cleared the shelf into the last small trunk and shrunk it away into his satchel.
Done for now, Harry made his way back to the chamber. before anything else he closed the statue. just in case. Harry knew no one could get down here alone, but if for some reason this time Dumbles decided he wanted Harry to show him the chamber, he didn't want him seeing more than he had to. Getting out the two trunks and resizing them Harry pulled out a vile and started collecting the venom. He quickly realized his mistake when the vile almost overflowed. pulling out a jar instead he continued collecting the venom. One vial, and Six and a half jars later Harry was done. staring at the giant snake, he couldn't help but pray to Merlin that it would fit. He did not know how to break down a basilisk correctly. Taking out his wand and feeling the elder wand runes beginning to heat, he cast a quick preservation charm on it, then cast the shrinking charm. He made it as small as he could. holding his breath he levitated it in. He had to sit on the lid, but he got it closed, and that's what matters. As soon as the trunk was shrunk and placed in his bag he let out a relieved sigh.
He still had three hours till dinner. Thinking for a minute he remembered what his biggest task was. Get to the goblins, and when he got to the goblins he would need their help. so ingratiating himself by learning their culture and customs wouldn't be a bad idea. With that thought he made his way to Salizars library. He stared blankly at the ginormous library. The library that had no signs or reference system that he knew of. "I don't suppose asking where the books on goblin culture, and customs are would get me an answer would it?" to his utter surprise, it did. Hogwarts magic nudged him deep into the shelves where he remained till dinner.
