Chapter 2: Summer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Friday, August 2nd 1991-
Harry smirked as he strolled through Diagon alley, it took all his willpower to keep his eyes peeled forward while he wanted to run from store to store exploring the wonders of the magical world. Ten years of being cooped up in Surrey made this experience all the more exciting. Up ahead he could see their first stop, Gringotts Wizarding bank.
Snape frowned as he followed behind Potter, the boy was proving to be less like his father as the day wore on. James Potter had been a show off and an attention seeker who would always do his best to attract attention. But Harry Potter was the opposite, he easily attracted attention without even trying yet simply ignored it. As they walked through the alley people had begun to stop and simply stare as they went by, he knew it wasn't because they recognized the boy-who-lived since the scar was currently covered up.
No from the looks of resentment the men threw at him and the blushing faces of the women they passed he knew what attracted them was the boys charm and beauty. He had seen scenes like this many times, but those had been in France and always involved one of the Veela. For a human to draw such attention such as this was unheard of, and he knew Potter had no Veela blood within him. He sneered as he saw one of the younger witches swoon and faint when the boy directed a smile her way. Given a few more years the boy would be a real lady killer.
Entering the bank Harry walked past the various witches and wizards that had stopped to gawk and made his way to one of the tellers. From the way the goblins eyes widened and how other goblins began to whisper and point at him he knew they recognized him. Not as the bloody boy-who-lived but as a greater demon.
Watch what you say goblin, it would not be pleasant for you and your kin if the humans discover what I am because of loose lips. He threatened quietly in Gobbledegook. The goblin nodded shakily to show its understanding.
Snape having overheard but not understood frowned. Where did Potter learn the goblin language? Only a handful of wizards knew it and most of them worked within the goblin liaison department at the ministry and had no choice but to learn it. He added this new fact to his mental list as he handed the goblin Potter's key.
"Mr.Potter please come with me for Director Ragnock asked to speak with you"
"Allright let's go"
"Follow me." The goblin got down from his perch and motioned for harry to follow him. They walked down many halls for about five minutes until they stopped in front of two enormous gold doors. The doors were ornately decorated with the seal of Gringotts embossed in it and was guarded by two fierce looking goblins in full armor with spears. The goblin walked forward knocked then stepped back. Thirty seconds later a voice called out Enter and the doors creaked opened. They walked in to the enormous office where Ragnok sat behind a magnificent desk. The goblin moved forward and spoke to Ragnok in Gobbledegook saying," this is Harry Potter, the one you wanted." and then left.
"Mr.Potter I need you to do the Inheritance ritual otherwise you will lose all controll of the vaults you may have."
"Okay, so how do I do this?"
"All you need to do is cut your wrist and hold it over the dagger untill it the runes light up and then touch it to the parchment.""Griphook, Come in here"
"Yes,Director?" asked griphook from the doorway.
"Bring the materials needed for the Inheritance Ritual, and the past Lord and Lady Potter Will."
"Ah yes my appologies Lord Potter for I forgot to tell you that after the death of your parents, Albus Dumbledore sealed your parents will and now we will if he did anything else to you."
Harry took the dagger, cut his wrist and the runes shined 5 minutes of this and the cut healed itself over, touched the tip to the parchment and the blood flowed from the dagger to the parchment. Slowly the blood spell out:

"When were you planning on telling me this?" Snape asked
"Well the demon part I allready knew, the rest I found out today."
"Allright, and the will?"
"Oh!," Harry said unrolling it and started reading aloud"I James Ignotus Potter and I Lily Evans Potter being of sound mind and body declare this to be my final will and testament, all others being void. Harry if you're hearing this we have not survived to see your second birthday. Voldemort has come after us and killed us. Voldemort has come after us for a reason one both your mum and I think is worthless. There was a prophecy made before you were born basically saying only you would have the power to kill Voldemort. Voldemort was given the part of the prophecy by a death eater, one of his followers, and he has become obsessed with killing you. We have left Potter Manor in order to ensure it is left for you and gone into hiding at our family's cottage in Godric's Hollow under the Fidelius Charm. We have used my one of my friends, Peter Petigrew, as the secret keeper if we are dead he betrayed us to Voldemort. I love you son and leave everything your mom and I own to you. Stay safe and Prank as many people as you can. Hadrian my beautiful green eyed baby, I love you and wish I could be there to see you grow up. You're already doing magic, there's nothing accidental about it, talking and walking, and I'm pretty sure you already understand more than any other one year old. I have no doubt you will be able to beat Voldemort. Study hard learn all you can but don't forget to live your life and find someone to love. I love you. And I am proud of you no matter what. Severus Snape is your gaurdian. In no way shape or form are you to go to live with the Durselys should we die."
Director Ragnock, Can the blocks be removed?" Harry asked the goblin sitting in front of him
"yes just take my hand and I will do it." the director said
"Allright," Harry said taking the outstreched hand, the director started chanting and Harry's world exploded in pain. after 20 minutes the blocks came out along with the horcruxe.
"I think this may have stopped you from assuming the mantle of Lord Slytherin"
Ragnok looked at the parchment nodded his head and waved his hand.8 wooden boxes appeared."Now harry put on the rings." "Also you are emancipated since you are 11"
"Allright," Said Harry Potter putting on all the rings. "Good day Ragnock let's go I need to go visit my vault
"Ello Professor Snape, fancy seeing you 'ere." A deep voice boomed behind them. Both turned to regard to enormous form of Rebus Hagrid.
"Good afternoon Hagrid." Snape drawled out in an exasperated tone.
Hagrid smiled as he spotted Harry's small form beside the older wizard "Ah, 'Arry. Good ta see ya, las time I saw ya ye were an itty bitty baby." Hagrid said "My names 'Agrid, Groundskeeper of 'Ogwarts." he added crouching down to speak with him.
Harry cracked his heart warming smile at the half-giant "A pleasure to make your acquaintance Mister Hagrid sir." He replied shaking the mans large hand.
"Uh uh, I'll be havin none a that sir stuff, I was a friend of ya parents, jus call me 'Agrid." Hagrid stated happily.
Snape chose to cut in at that moment "What are you doing here Hagrid?" He asked with the same bored and mocking tone.
"Picking up a package for Dumbledore." Hagrid replied handing a key to the goblin.
Harry hummed as he followed behind a small fidgety goblin that would send him the occasional glance. As they boarded a cart with Hagrid, much to Snapes displeasure, he decided to speak with the goblin.
"So what's your name?" He asked.
"G-griphook Lord Potter, sir." the goblin stuttered back.
"Its nice to meet you Griphook. You can just call me Harry" He replied.
Snape understood as he studied the small interaction, the goblin had been acting strange since they had met him but after the small talk with Potter he seemed to relax, he had even sighed in relief when Potter had smiled at him as if he had expected the boy to attack him and was relieved to escape with his life. Another thing he noticed was the silence as the cart rolled through the caverns, every time he had come here there had always been the roars of dragons resounding throughout the cavern but this time there was absolute silence.
After a few minutes they arrived at at Vault 687.
"This is your vault Mister Potter, fortunately you can access the Potter family vault but this trust fund should be enough for now." Griphook explained as he opened the vault.
Snape gagged as he stared wide eyed at the various piles of gold and silver within the vault, there was more money here than in his personal vault and the Prince family vault combined and this was only the boys trust fund?
"Is there anyway to know how much I have in here?" Harry asked sparing the vault only a single glance.
"Yes sir, there's a self-updating bank statement next to the door there," Griphook replied pointing at a piece of parchment attached to the wall "That's only a copy so you can take it with you." he added as Harry perused the form.
"Thanks." Harry replied, grabbing one of the money bags on the wall and filling it with several hand fulls of gold coins. the bag was magically expanded so it didn't even grow in size as the gold was poured in, closing and tying the bag Harry stuffed it into his pocket and they left the vault behind.
Descending to vault 713 Harry moved aside as Hagrid shuffled out of the cart and into the vault, he noted that the vault was strangely empty except for a small paper wrapped package in the center which Hagrid stuffed into his pocket.
"He sent you to come grab it? What is that old fool thinking!" Snape hissed at Hagrid as he reentered the cart.
Hagrid threw him a glare but remained silent, Snape continued to glare at the half-giant as they rode the cart back to the bank lobby.
"Right then, I'll be seeing ya at 'Ogwarts 'Arry." Hagrid stated patting him on the back.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Hagrid." Harry replied with his trademark heart warming smile, nodding to him Hagrid turned and lumbered off.
"Come along Potter we don't have all day." Snape drawled "You are permitted to enter any store you choose, it is only my duty to advise you on what you buy so you don't waste your money or forget anything."
Harry led him back to the Alley's entrance, from there they could walk past the stores one by one and loop around.
Entering the Apothecary Harry was informed by Snape that the older man was the potions professor at Hogwarts. With the mans help and advice he bought a large shelved closet and filled it with several different ingredients. The closet was enchanted to shrink when tapped with a wand and also extended the lifetime of materials stored within it. He bought a years supply of ingredients with over ten years until they expired inside the closet. Shrinking the closet down until it was the size of a card deck he placed it into a magically expanded shopping bag and followed Snape out the door.
Rather than continue with his original plan Snape dragged him across the street to the cauldron shop where Harry purchased a brass, iron, gold and silver cauldron as well as a set of scales and two pairs of knives that magically cut ingredients for the user, he also got a pair of magical ladles that would follow any instructions given and stir the potions perfectly. Snape placed the other objects within the cauldrons then shrunk the four cauldrons for him and placed them in the shopping bag.
Exiting the store Harry crossed the road, once more ignoring the looks sent his way by passerby's, and walked past the Apothecary as well as Quality Quidditch Supplies where several children were gawking at the newest broom, a Nimbus 2000.
Entering a small stationary shop he purchased three packs of parchment in white, yellow and black. Four bottles of ink in black, blue, gold and silver. He then bought a lovely but expensive Griffin quill as well as several Hippogriff quills. Lastly he purchased an acid green, peacock feather Quick-Quotes quill, which was a quill that was magically enchanted to write down whatever was said in order to speed up note taking time.
Afterward Snape guided him around Flourish and Blott's to purchase his school books. While there Harry also picked up a book on advanced charms, potions and spells as well as a book on auror fighting styles and spells. After a suggestion from Snape he picked up a copy of 'Hogwarts: A History' for research. Snape tapped his foot impatiently as Harry picked up a couple books on ministry laws and regulations, instead of placing them with his other books though the boy simply flipped through them and replaced them on the shelf, after a few minutes of this they paid and left the store.
Next they came to Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Entering the store Harry spotted a young blond boy already being measured, the boy's eyes widened as they enter and he smiled.
"Hello Uncle Sev." The boy greeted "What are you doing here?"
Snape gave the boy a small smile "Hello Draco. I'm currently working, Dumbledore has me escorting Mister Potter here around while he shops. Harry this is my godson Draco Malfoy. Draco, Harry Potter" He replied.
Harry gave the other boy a nod, but the boy and the woman measuring him could only stare, caught up by both his fame and overbearing charm.
"Bless my soul, Harry Potter." The woman said at the same time Draco exclaimed.
"Blimey your Harry Potter!."
"Manners Draco, Mister Potter does not appreciate being gawked at like an animal." Snape drawled, Harry could still hear some amusement in his tone. He smiled at the two before him.
Draco and the woman blushed in reply, one in embarrassment and the other from his heart fluttering smile.
Taking a stand on the pedestal next to Draco the blond boy engaged him in some light conversation as they were both measured.
"My father's next door buying my books, and mother's up the street looking at wands," Draco drawled, although he was talking to Harry the comment was also directed at Snape who nodded at the boys before exiting the store. "After this I'm going to drag them off to look at racing brooms. I think I'll bully father into getting me one, and I'll smuggle it in somehow. Have you got your own broom?" Draco continued.
"Not yet, no point since I cant take it with me." Harry replied
"Ah okay, do you play Quidditch as well?" Draco asked after a moment
"No, I've been raised by my muggle relatives so I don't know much about the wizarding world." Harry answered nonchalantly, Draco gave him an apologetic look.
"That's a shame, It must be horrible living with muggles." He stated
"Not really, they're afraid of magic so they try to avoid me as much as possible." Harry replied, Draco nodded and gave him a small smile.
"Know what house you'll be in yet?" he asked changing the subject
"Not yet." Harry replied.
"Well, no one really knows until they get there, do they? But I hope I'll be in Slytherin; all my family have been, also Uncle Snape's the head of house." Draco boasted
"Oh? Well in that case I hope I get sent to Slytherin as well." Harry commented. Draco spent the next few minutes telling him all about the houses and what they stood for. Although Madame Malkin cut in a few times to straighten some points out and give an unbiased overview of the four houses, Harry couldn't help but agree that Slytherin seemed to be the best house for him.
Gryffindors were all about courage and brashness, something he was not.
Ravenclaws were studious and knowledgeable, and while he liked to learn he would prefer to do other more exciting things instead.
Hufflepuffs even though they were looked down on were Loyal and friendly, to him they sounded like followers and if there was one thing Harry Potter refused to be it was a follower.
Slytherins on the other hand were smart and cunning they looked out for themselves first and others second, and even though they were regarded as evil that was only because most Slytherins were dark wizards. To him Slytherin sounded like a perfect place to belong. They were like the ninja's of old, cunning and ruthless only with less skill.
Draco's head turned as his attention was drawn by something outside the window.
"I say, look at that man!" he shouted, nodding towards the front window. Harry turned and spotted who he was talking about, lumbering past the store towards the Leaky Cauldron was Hagrid.
"Oh that's Hagrid, he works at Hogwarts." Harry supplied.
"Oh" Draco said "Ive heard of him, he's a servant of some kind isn't he?"
"He's a groundskeeper." Harry replied.
"Yes, exactly. The Headmaster at Hogwarts took him on after he got expelled. Now he lives in a hut on the school grounds and every now and then he gets drunk, tries to do magic, and ends up setting fire to his bed." Draco stated.
"I don't know about that but he seems quite nice, I met him at the bank earlier." Harry responded.
Before Draco could reply Madame Malkin announced that his robes were finished. Jumping down from the pedestal Draco extended a hand to Harry.
"It was nice meeting you Potter, friends?" he asked.
Smiling back at the boy Harry shook his hand "Sure thing." he replied.
As Draco collected his robes and paid the seamstress Snape reentered the store followed by a tall blond man who looked similar to Draco.
"Oh father!" Draco exclaimed excitedly "This is my new friend Harry Potter, Harry this is my father Lucius Malfoy." Draco said introducing the two.
Harry shook the older mans hand "A pleasure to meet you Mister Malfoy." He said politely
"And I you, Mister Potter." Lucius replied with a nod. "Severus was just telling me about you, how have you found the wizarding world in comparison to the muggle world?" he asked
"Oh it's quite wonderful." Harry replied "Living with muggles is so boring, I'm just glad I was accepted to Hogwarts." he added.
At this time Madame Malkin also finished up with his robes.
Buying 7 pairs of plain black school robes, Harry also purchased 7 black dress shirts, 7 pairs of black pants, 2 dark green inner robes and a black outer robe with a silver trim. The last robe was a dress robe used for dances and formal gatherings. He also bought a pair of black dragon-skin boots as well as a pair of green dragon-skin boots. Lastly he purchased a pack of black socks and three ties all with the same design, they had large black stripes bordered with slightly thinner green stripes and the green stripes were then bordered with silver threading.
Moving to the on-shelf section Harry picked out several sets of casual clothing that could be worn in both the muggle and magical worlds, most of the clothes were in black and silver or multiple shades of green.
Snape and Lucius smirked and nodded to his selection of Slytherin colors but frowned when Harry also purchased a crimson dress robe with gold trimming, obvious Gryffindor colors. Paying the seamstress Harry placed all his purchases within the enchanted bag and followed Snape out the store. He said his good byes to Draco and Lucius as the two headed to Ollivanders while Harry and Snape entered the Magical Menagerie.
The store was very cramped and stuffy, filled with various animals. Ignoring the snakes hissing complaints from their cage Harry followed behind Snape, according to the school rules students were only allowed a toad, owl or cat while at Hogwarts. After spending time viewing each creature Harry crossed off the Toads from his list, he had expected some to be magical descendants of his ancestor's summons but all the store contained were normal variety toads.
An owl was also crossed off since he had his own way of delivering letters that was faster and pet owl's tend to stick out with muggles. In the end he chose a black and silver striped half-Kneazle, the cat had taken a liking to him and Harry decided to name it Yugito since it was female. Snape had looked at him strangely due to the strange name but had kept silent as Harry purchased a cage, some food and toys for his new pet.
After that he stopped in at a luggage store to purchase a trunk, the trunk was magically expanded to hold up to 10 times its regular limit. Unlike the other trunks though this one came with a small school bag that was connected to the trunk, anything stored in the trunk could be withdrawn through the bag by sticking your hand in and thinking of what you want. Getting the trunk shrunk by a clerk Harry stored it within his shopping bag and followed behind Snape as they left the store.
Walking past the joke shop and the second hand robe store Harry entered Ollivanders wand shop. He noticed that Draco had already left and only he, Snape and a pudgy old man were within the shop. As the old man walked over to speak to them Harry smirked, underneath the illusion his eyes spun and a moment later Snape and Ollivander froze as their eyes glazed over. Casting a minor illusion over the store so he wouldn't be interrupted Harry slipped behind the counter and into the workshop behind the store.
Behind the counter was a room filled with many strange objects, there were several different logs of wood laying about, on a table to the side was a small pile of glowing feathers. Beside them was what had to be the biggest heart he had ever seen, it was at least twice the size of his head and seemed to still beat with a steady rhythm. Taking a step into the room Harry gagged as a feeling of utter revulsion filled him, he nearly dropped to his knees and emptied his stomach but with a few deep breaths was able to calm himself, spreading out his senses he located the source of the feeling.
The pile of glowing feathers were actually Phoenix feathers and next to the door hidden from his line of sight until he entered the room was a large pile of Unicorn hairs. Materials from two of the purest light creatures were in such close proximity that it was a wonder he didn't pass out. Being a pure demon, a creature of the dark he shared the revulsion for all light creatures that dark creatures held and being so close to the large amounts of hair and feathers had caused a negative reaction.
Calming himself he focused on the tables the two piles rested on, slowly but surely the wood bent and warped until the two piles were encased in a small wooden ball, lessening the effect they had on him. Straightening up he began to look around the room searching for the correct items, he found his goal in the form of a bookcase at the back of the room hidden behind a tapestry. Searching quickly he pulled out five tomes, each was bound in red with a black number on the front numbering from one to five. Above each number was the books title.
'A warlocks guide to wand crafting'
Harry smirked as he viewed the collection. He had flipped through a book of ministry laws at Florish and Blott's earlier, and while Snape thought he had just skimmed thorough and put them back in boredom Harry had actually been memorizing the books one by one with his Sharingan abilities. It was through these books that he had learned about not only the laws on underage magic and the trace on an underage witch or wizards wand, but also the ban on wand crafting by non licensed individuals. It was also through this knowledge that he had guessed correctly that Ollivander would have books on said subject.
Opening the first book, Harry slowly flipped through the pages taking the time to memorize and burn all the information into his mind. After five minutes he had finished viewing all the books and after placing them back on the shelf he looked through the rest of Ollivander books for any items of interest. He chose to memorize book on magical enhancers, another on materials best used for wandcrafting, and Ollivanders personal notes on matching a wand with its user.
Once finished he hid all hints of his actions and quickly fled from the room before the feathers and hairs could affect him. Slipping back into the main section of the store he walked over just as Ollivander was finished finding a wand suitable for his illusionary self. Harry heard something about great things blah blah blah powerful wand blah blah blah brother wands blah blah blah scar on head.
Taking his position in front of the man he reached out and grabbed hold of the wand Ollivander offered, the feeling of revulsion entered him once more and it took nearly all his willpower to not destroy the wand in his hand. The wand contained a phoenix feather at its core and although the effect was less than that of the feather pile in the back it still affected him to a degree. He would never truly bond with this wand and using it would limit his abilities.
With a snap of his fingers the illusion was dispelled and the glazed look on both mens eyes cleared and they continued on as if nothing had changed.
"That will be 7 galleons Mister Potter." Ollivander stated.
Handing over the money Harry followed behind Snape as they left, the potions master was acting strangely but he was sure it had more to do with what Ollivander had said about his wand than anything else, after all no one in this day and age was powerful or experienced enough to sense a genjutsu. Crossing the road Harry walked past the junk store as they made their way back to the Leaky Cauldron.
He felt a tight grip on his shoulder as he tried to turn down a darkened road, his first instinct was to remove the offending hand from his body but he was able to calm himself before he could react. Turning he followed the arm up to a stern looking Snape who was shooting a disdainful look down the alleyway.
"I would suggest you avoid Knockturn alley Mister Potter, it is not a place for respectable wizards to venture into. There are many dark and forbidden items for sale within the alley." Snape explained glaring down into the darkened alleyway.
Nodding to the older man Harry shot one last look at Knockturn alley before continuing on his way. Passing by an ice cream store and a candy shop Harry made a stop inside a magical instruments shop.
"Welcome, what can I help you with sir?" The attendant asked from behind the counter of the small store. Harry noted that the walls were covered with different clocks each with a different function but none of which told the time, within the glass counter were various watches, two boxes of rings as well and several necklaces and pins. A large cabinet to the right of the door held various weapons and holsters, while another held different items of dress, like sunglasses and earrings.
''Hello, I'm just looking," Harry replied as he walked up to the counter, spotting an item of interest he asked "Can you tell me what this watch here does?" he asked pointing at a round silver watch with a black and green leather strap. It had mostly caught his eye since it was in Slytherin colors.
"Ah yes, that's one of the newer models. It has four functions, each activated by one of these buttons." The attendant explained holding up the watch and showing off the buttons, two on each side.
"The first function tells you the time at either your current position or any where else in the world. Simply hold the button and say the location and it will tell you the time in that area." He then pushed the button and Harry watched as the watch face blinked over and the current time appeared in red on the surface.
"The second function is like a tracker, simply point the watch at what you want to track and push the button, the watch will then magically send you signals allowing you to track down what ever you cast it on." Harry nodded along and pretended to be fascinated with that, the watch was low on magical power meaning it would most likely have a limited range. It was far simpler for him to use his senses when tracking someone.
The clerk continued on to the third function without pause "The third function allows you to program a low power spell into the watch, it currently holds the Lumos spell but there is a list of spells you can program into the watch allowing you to use your wand with one hand and another spell with the other."
Harry perked up at this, although the spells would be low level the fact he could program spells into an object was interesting. He had been trying to do that with his seals but each time the seal would either overload or short circut, the watch would most likely give him the break through he needed.
"How were all these functions added to the watch?" He cut in as the clerk was moving on to the fourth function.
"The watch was enchanted, enchantment is a demanding but rewarding branch of magic that you will have the option of taking in your 7th year." Snape explained from his spot behind Harry. Harry simply nodded in reply as he filed the information away, he would definitely have to look in on enchantments.
The clerk took the silence as his cue to continue and began on the watches fourth function "The forth button is like a day planner, just hold it say the date and time of your appointment and it will sound a chime an hour in advance to remind you." he finished explaining.
Nodding Harry placed the watch on the counter, he also placed a pair of rings that served as short range radios. Enchanted glasses that protected the eyes from potion fumes, blinding spells as well as dust and debris. A necklace with a large blue sapphire that was enchanted to increase the wearers luck as well as protect from danger by use of a medium power shield spell. A wand holster that could go around the waist or the wrist and was enchanted to prevent the wand within from being summoned. Lastly he picked out a matching pair of 12 inch long daggers enchanted to never dull, never stain as well as cause wounds that couldn't be healed with magic.
Harry found it strange that Snape -a professor at the school he was to attend- said nothing about the obviously dangerous items he was purchasing, the man simply looked on with his constant scowl as Harry paid for the items and exited the store. Ignoring the now constant gawkers Harry made his way past the last few stores and eventually they arrived back at the leaky cauldron where Snape suggested they get some lunch while he explained a few things.
Inside the bar they had a run in with a tall fidgety man by the name of Quirrell who Snape seemed to detest but Harry found interesting, he learned that Quirrell was also one of the professors at Hogwarts and would be teaching him Defense Against the Dark Arts. After shaking the mans hand for close to five minutes they managed to get a table and order lunch.
"Now Mister Potter it is my duty to inform you that you are not permitted to use magic in front of muggles or while out of school until you come of age." Snape stated. Harry simply nodded, from his earlier reading he already knew that the law would only come into effect once he set foot in Hogwarts. Until then he could practice as much magic as he wanted.
Reaching into his robe Snape pulled out a small slip of paper.
"This is your ticket for the Hogwarts express, the train leaves on the last day of august from Kings Cross station." He explained handing over the slip "As you can see you leave from platform 9 and 3/4, which is magically hidden from muggles, to reach it you must walk through the pillar between platforms 9 and 10."
Harry nodded in understanding as he tucked the ticket into his pocket as their food arrived. Thanking the waitress they both dug into their food while Harry asked the professor a few questions about the school.
Once the meal was finished Snape once more put a hand on his shoulder and apparated them both back to Privet Drive, they arrived just outside the wards and Snape peered down at his young charge.
"Enjoy your summer Mister Potter, I will see you at Hogwarts." he stated.
"Thank you for your assistance professor, I look forward to the coming school year." Harry replied giving his heart warming smile.
Nodding stiffly Snape smirked slightly as he apparated away.
Turning Harry hummed slightly as he headed back to number 4 Privet Drive. The day had gone well, he now knew where to pick up magical supplies and had some new books to keep him entertained for the summer. He frowned as he remembered his first order of business, getting a new wand.
Although he had mastered countless jutsu that would make most spells seem like child's play he would need a wand to keep his cover as a regular wizard. He already had an idea of what he would need to get the wand but it would take a few tries to correctly create the wand even with the knowledge from Ollivander he still needed practice to use it effectively.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Sunday, August 11th 1991-
Harry cursed as yet another wand blew up in his face sending splinters flying around the room. He grumbled to himself as the magically enhanced shards of wood were slowly pushed out of his skin and the wounds sealed shut with a hiss. Having nigh impenetrable skin he had been caught completely off guard when the first wand exploded and managed to harm him. Since then he had gotten used to having to heal himself every time one of these wands detonated.
It had been over a week since his trip to Diagon alley and since that time he had been trying to make a new wand tailored for him, he had dropped by a nearby lumber mill and 'borrowed' several different logs of wood to use.
Unfortunately the ritual used to find his compatible materials always ended the same way, splinters of wood in the face. Other than the rare or magical breeds of wood, he had already tried every type of wood available, hell he had even grown his own tree using his Mokuton powers alone and that had ended the same.
'Dammit, do I have to go see Ollivander again? Maybe he has some rarer types of wood I can use.' Harry pondered angrily, with a wave of his hand the bits of wood collected together into a pile and then seemed to fuse together until a small log was left in their place.
Slumping down onto the floor Harry mentally reviewed what he had learned from Ollivanders books. He had already used the core seeking spell and had found himself well suited for Thestral heartstrings. Thestrals were creatures of death and were one of the closest magical creatures to demonkind. A wand made with their heartstrings as a core would suit him far better than the phoenix feather wand that twit Ollivander had given him. He absolutely abhorred that wand, every time he touched it he felt like insects were crawling all over his body. It was revolting.
Now if only he could find a proper material to encase the core with, none of the common materials were working and the only option left was a crystal wand or a bone wand. Unfortunately the only crystals he could get his hands on were within his vault and none of those had worked well, the diamond had shown some compatibility but was not powerful enough to be used as a casing, perhaps as a focus and enhancer but not as a casing. As for bones he had used dragon, giant and even troll but none had worked. Perhaps he would need to make another trip into Knockturn alley for some rarer materials.
As he thought Harry carded his hands through his hair and sighed, it was as he was doing this that his mind landed on a footnote in Ollivanders personal notes. According to the wandmaker, using a part of the wielder in the crafting process would make the wand far more compatible. Harry had assumed this meant a hair or some blood and was prepared for that but as he stared at his arm he had a sudden thought.
Could it work? After all he was a magical creature, the purest in the last two centuries.
Staring blankly at his right arm Harry waved his other hand and a blade of wind formed at the tip of his fingers. Raising the hand up he poised it to strike, as the blade fell he had one thought.
'What I wouldn't give to be a Kaguya right now.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry almost whooped with joy in his excitement. The ritual had worked, he now had his casing. Reaching into the bubble of magic floating above the blood soaked floor Harry grasped hold of the item floating within. The bubble dissipated as he withdrew the item, held in his hand was a ten inch long, pristine white, hollow rod. It was exactly the same as any other wand casing in the world except for one simple fact, this was made of demon bone, his bone.
Harry flinched slightly as he felt phantom pains run through his arm. It had taken close to an hour to regenerate the bones in his forearm and the process had been quite painful but he now had his casing, all he would need was the core and to perform the creation ritual. Looking outside his window he noticed that time had passed quickly, the sun had already set and it was the perfect time to go about his business once more.
Making sure his door was locked he grabbed a large black robe from his closet and slipped it on, pulling the hood up over his head he made sure his face was completely hidden within the shadows of the robe before tucking his phoenix wand into a pocket. Making sure he had his moneybag in his pocket Harry concentrated on his destination. A moment later the air around him seemed to twist and bend as his body was sucked into a vortex originating from his right eye.
Without a sound Harry twisted out of the vortex and landed softly in an alleyway beside Gringotts, like he had many times the last week he looked around the alleyway before dropping the illusion hiding his form. Pulling his hood back into place he made his way out of the alley. It was dark in Diagon alley and the shoppers had dwindled down to just a few people heading to the bars, the various shops were closing or already closed so not many noticed the small black form slip into Kockturn alley.
While Diagon alley was closing down and almost deserted, the stores within Knockturn alley were still open and looked like they would be for hours still. Ignoring the old woman attempting to sell him human fingers Harry made his way down the alley. Passing by a shady looking pet store, a tattoo pallor, a small pub and a second hand junk shop he made his way towards a store he had seen many times but never entered, Borgin and Burkes. According to the rumors he had heard in Diagon alley, Borgin and Burkes sold a variety of artifacts and dark items, exactly what he sought.
Stepping into the store he frowned as a small bell above the door rang, looking around Harry noted that there was no one else inside the establishment but he could hear sounds coming from a room behind the counter. Closing the door behind him he strolled through the store looking at the various items upon the shelf but making sure not to touch any, never knew what could happen.
"You lost boy?" A voice asked.
Turning Harry spotted a tall, dark haired man watching him from the counter.
"No, I'm exactly where I want to be." He said walking towards the counter.
"Oh?" the man asked with a raised brow and a skeptical look on his face "And what is it your looking to buy?"
"I require some Thestral heartstrings, the older the better." Harry replied with a low tone.
The clerks eyebrows rose even higher before his look of skepticism turned to one of suspicion.
"And what would a child like you need such items for?" he asked "Thestral parts are rare to come by, it will cost you a pretty penny." he added pulling out a black case from a shelf to the side.
Pulling out a bag of Galleons Harry spilled the gold coins onto the counter top.
"Money is not an issue." He replied.
The clerks eyes sparkled as he looked at the pile of gold, his suspicious look turned into one of greed as he opened the black case. Within the case were several small vials each with a different looking material inside. Reaching into the case the man pulled out five vials, three of which had a mass of red flesh within and the last two had some black dried mass.
"The red ones are only a few years old and they cost 107 Galleons a piece, the black ones are far older and are 234 galleons a piece." The clerk explained.
Harry nodded and divided up the gold, he bought the two black vials in case one failed. Thestrals like most magical beings became more powerful as they aged, as such the older the heartstring he used the more powerful his wand would be. Slipping the two vials into his pocket Harry packed the rest of the gold into his pouch.
"Will you be needing anything else sir?" the clerk asked.
"I'm starting school soon, what would you suggest?" Harry asked calmly.
The clerk seemed to think for a bit before snapping his fingers and heading into the back room, he came out moments later carrying a small stack of books.
"I take it your going to Hogwarts? Yeah that's what I thought, well considering who the headmaster is you wont have a chance to learn any of the so called 'dark' arts. These are some books on basic and advanced curses, there's a whole set here so you can learn them as you grow. I even included one on Legilimency." the clerck declared setting the books on the counter.
Harry counted a set of 8 on curses and dark spells, one book on unforgivable curses from around the world as well as a book on mind arts.
The clerk stopped him as he went for his money pouch.
"I have a few terms before you can buy these." He said.
Harry frowned "What terms?" He asked.
"Well first off you have to understand that this stuff takes a while to learn so don't go blaming me if you cant do it on your first try." the clerk stated.
Harry nodded in acceptance, that was understandable.
"Secondly you must swear an oath to tell no one what you bought here. These books are illegal and I'm only offering since you have the cash, if you wont swear the oath then I wont sell them to you." the clerk stated darkly.
Harry could see him fingering his wand and he was sure his memory would be erased if he refused to swear the oath. He growled slightly, unlike wizards he was a demon, his oath carried far more weight than theirs and as such he tried to never give his word. Taking a moment to review the mans request he couldn't really find any way this could come back around to harm him so he decided he would give his oath this once. Of course an illusion would easily fool the human before him but there wasn't much of a point for a small issue like this.
"I swear on my blood and magic to never reveal what I have purchased this day." He said loudly, the air crackled with power as the oath was made.
"So mote it be." the clerk added with a tone of finality, there was a loud snap as the oath was accepted and their magic bound to it.
Smiling at him the Clerk pushed the books forward.
That will be 456 Galleons for all ten books" he stated.
Harry quickly handed the money over and collected the books. The clerk watched as Harry pulled out a piece of parchment and seemed to doodle on it. His eyes widened comically as the books were then placed on top of the parchment and disappeared with a puff of smoke. He wisely chose to say nothing as Harry rolled up the parchments and with a nod exited the store.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Tuesday, August 13 1991-
Harry sighed as he finished drawing the last rune. He was currently in the top floor of an old abandoned building just a few miles from his home. The wards surrounding number 4 Privet Drive were weak and easy to circumvent from time to time but even they would sense the amount of magical power he was about to release.
Drawn on the ground with black charcoal was a star within an inverted triangle within a triangle within a square within a circle, the entire diagram was made up of various runes with multiple functions. In the center of the diagram lay three objects, the pristine white bone casing, the pitch black heartstring and a small clear diamond.
Standing up he surveyed his handy work and nodded in appreciation, the rune diagram was perfect and everything was prepared. Drawing on his power he began to pour it into the diagram while whispering the words for the spell. The runes glowed a bright red as a tornado of pure energy surrounded the three objects, the energy raised them up into the air and began to twist and bend around until the objects were stored within a dark red bubble similar to the one used in the identifying ritual.
Harry continued to whisper the ritual words for a few more minutes until the red bubble turned pitch black and then clear to reveal a single object within. The glow from the runes lessened and then disappeared leaving the ground underneath clear of any evidence. Harry took a step closer and with no hesitation reached into the bubble and grasped his wand.
He gasped as pure power shot through his body from the wand, the object bonded to his core within a moment and he felt his power grow exponentially. This wand was far more powerful than his other and as he held it in his hand he felt like he could do anything at all, he felt invincible.
Unlike most wands that were created to focus a witch or wizards power this one served a different function. Harry had near perfect control over his magic so a focusing item was unneeded, the runes he had used for this ritual served to create an amplifier instead of a focus. The wand would boost his power rather than focus it like other wands would.
After a few minutes he calmed down from his power high and withdrew his new wand from the magical bubble. Rather than the white bone he had expected the wand was now a pitch black and seemed to absorb light rather than reflect it. It was 9 inches long, completely smooth and topping the wand was a clear 3 inch long diamond tip with a long strand that trailed down the wand slightly. (Picture link on my profile page.)
Holding it tightly he pointed it towards a wall and decided to test the wand. He made a quick slashing motion with the wand as he whispered a spell.
"Diffindo"
He felt as a sliver of his power flowed into the wand and out the tip. The diamond tip of his wand glowed a light green as the cutting charm as fired towards the wall.
Harry gaped as he observed the aftereffects of his spell, the last time he had practiced the cutting charm with his other wand it had left a five inch long cut on the wall that was only a few centimeters deep. This time however his spell had cleaved a meter long gash into the wall and although he couldn't see how deep it was he could definitely hear air flowing in through the cut.
Harry looked down at the wand wide eyes before grinning widely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Thursday, August 29th 1991-
Harry hummed to himself as he flipped another page in his book. he would be leaving for Hogwarts in two days and had decided to pass the time reading and learning. He had already memorized all of his first year text books, the first three of the dark arts books from Knockturn as well as the books on advanced charms and mind arts. He was currently reviewing the book on mind arts in order to further his Legilimency.
Harry had discovered weeks ago that as a demon he had natural mental barriers, as such he would never need to worry about having his mind invaded. On the other hand he needed twice as much practice to master invading another's mind, -well without use of his Dojutsu that is- something his 'relatives' had been most helpful with. Speaking of which...
"Oh Dudders, could you give me a hand with something?" he asked his large cousin as the boy walked past his door.
Dudley froze in step as his eyes widened in fear. Harry smirked, the large boy was most likely remembering the last time he had 'given him a hand'. Dudley had spent hours on the floor gripping his head in pain as Harry forcefully invaded his mind and practiced his Legilimency.
As if sensing his cousins thoughts Dudley turned and made a dead run for his room, or at least he attempted to. The second Dudley began running Harry was already leaning out the door with his wand trained on the boys back.
"Petrificus Totalus " The full body-bind caught him in the back mid step causing him to fall forward and land flat on his face.
A wave of his wand and Harry had his cousin floating towards him, the larger boy was levitated into the room and dropped on the floor as the door shut behind him. A moment later Dudley could move again but he chose to cower on the floor.
Grinning down at his cousin Harry aimed his wand at him.
"Relax this wont hurt a bit, well I think it wont I haven't really had a chance to practice with it you see." he stated nonchalantly
Dudley whimpered.
"Obliviate."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Saturday, August 31st 1991-
Stepping out onto the platform Harry sighed in relief as the illusion surrounding him dropped, it was near impossible for him to walk anywhere without attracting attention yet alone through a pillar in a busy train station, muggles were less resistant to his allure and would have followed his every move had he not set up an illusion beforehand.
Head held high Harry calmly made his way towards the large red train engine, he pointedly ignored the looks he garnered from the crowd as he walked by. Several women actually swooned when they caught his eye, how embarrassing. For them at least, he found it amusing.
He spotted Draco and his father standing next to a beautiful and equally blond woman, most likely his friends mother. Passing by a group of blushing giggling teens Harry made his way over to the Malfoy family.
"Harry, good to see you again." Draco exclaimed seeing his friend come close, his father and mother both turned to see him at Dracos exclamation.
"Hello Draco, Mister Malfoy." Harry greeted politely, he got a smile from the younger boy and a nod from the older Malfoy "And you must be Draco's mother?" he asked the woman.
"Narcissa Malfoy, it nice to finally meet Draco's new friend." She said holding out a hand.
"Harry Potter at your service ma'am." Harry replied taking the hand and kissing her knuckles lightly "And I must say you are far more beautiful than I was led to believe." He added
Narcissa blushed slightly at the compliment "You're very polite for one so young Mister Potter." She replied.
"Its easy to sound polite when your being truthful." Harry answered back with a smile.
Narcissa's blush deepened "And a smooth talker as well, you should be careful Lucius this young man might just steal me away."
Lucius chuckled "Well dear he certainly knows what he's doing." he replied. "Why don't you help your friend onto the train Draco before he steals your mother away." Lucius added with a grin.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Malfoy, I look forward to seeing the two of you again." Harry said with a wave. Following behind Draco he boarded the train and looked for a compartment.
"Where's your trunk?" Draco asked noticing that Harry was only carrying a small cage with his cat inside.
"I had it shrunk at the store, its in my pocket." Harry lied, no need for Draco to know that he had shrunken it himself.
"Ah, I should have had father do the same instead of carrying it around like a muggle." Draco stated bitterly. "Are you going to do anything about this?" he asked looking around.
Harry smirked as he saw what Draco was talking about, since they entered the train a small group of girls had been crowding around giggling while those already in compartments threw open their doors and made room for him to sit.
"What makes you think its my fault?" Harry mock asked.
Draco shot him a blank look with a single raised brow in question.
"Fine lets try to find an empty compartment." Harry stated striding ahead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ducking into an empty compartment Draco watched in fascination as the girls walked on by without even sparing them a glance. He turned to Harry with a raised eyebrow.
"Its a simple illusion spell I read about." Harry lied.
Draco simply nodded and turned to the window. Spotting his parents he waved as the train's horn sounded and the vehicle began to move.
'Hogwarts here I come.' Harry thought with a grin

-Friday, August 2nd 1991-
Harry smirked as he strolled through Diagon alley, it took all his willpower to keep his eyes peeled forward while he wanted to run from store to store exploring the wonders of the magical world. Ten years of being cooped up in Surrey made this experience all the more exciting. Up ahead he could see their first stop, Gringotts Wizarding bank.
Snape frowned as he followed behind Potter, the boy was proving to be less like his father as the day wore on. James Potter had been a show off and an attention seeker who would always do his best to attract attention. But Harry Potter was the opposite, he easily attracted attention without even trying yet simply ignored it. As they walked through the alley people had begun to stop and simply stare as they went by, he knew it wasn't because they recognized the boy-who-lived since the scar was currently covered up.
No from the looks of resentment the men threw at him and the blushing faces of the women they passed he knew what attracted them was the boys charm and beauty. He had seen scenes like this many times, but those had been in France and always involved one of the Veela. For a human to draw such attention such as this was unheard of, and he knew Potter had no Veela blood within him. He sneered as he saw one of the younger witches swoon and faint when the boy directed a smile her way. Given a few more years the boy would be a real lady killer.
Entering the bank Harry walked past the various witches and wizards that had stopped to gawk and made his way to one of the tellers. From the way the goblins eyes widened and how other goblins began to whisper and point at him he knew they recognized him. Not as the bloody boy-who-lived but as a greater demon.
Watch what you say goblin, it would not be pleasant for you and your kin if the humans discover what I am because of loose lips. He threatened quietly in Gobbledegook. The goblin nodded shakily to show its understanding.
Snape having overheard but not understood frowned. Where did Potter learn the goblin language? Only a handful of wizards knew it and most of them worked within the goblin liaison department at the ministry and had no choice but to learn it. He added this new fact to his mental list as he handed the goblin Potter's key.
"Mr.Potter please come with me for Director Ragnock asked to speak with you"
"Allright let's go"
"Follow me." The goblin got down from his perch and motioned for harry to follow him. They walked down many halls for about five minutes until they stopped in front of two enormous gold doors. The doors were ornately decorated with the seal of Gringotts embossed in it and was guarded by two fierce looking goblins in full armor with spears. The goblin walked forward knocked then stepped back. Thirty seconds later a voice called out Enter and the doors creaked opened. They walked in to the enormous office where Ragnok sat behind a magnificent desk. The goblin moved forward and spoke to Ragnok in Gobbledegook saying," this is Harry Potter, the one you wanted." and then left.
"Mr.Potter I need you to do the Inheritance ritual otherwise you will lose all controll of the vaults you may have."
"Okay, so how do I do this?"
"All you need to do is cut your wrist and hold it over the dagger untill it the runes light up and then touch it to the parchment.""Griphook, Come in here"
"Yes,Director?" asked griphook from the doorway.
"Bring the materials needed for the Inheritance Ritual, and the past Lord and Lady Potter Will."
"Ah yes my appologies Lord Potter for I forgot to tell you that after the death of your parents, Albus Dumbledore sealed your parents will and now we will if he did anything else to you."
Harry took the dagger, cut his wrist and the runes shined 5 minutes of this and the cut healed itself over, touched the tip to the parchment and the blood flowed from the dagger to the parchment. Slowly the blood spell out:
Hadrian James Potter
Son of: Lily Potter nee Evans

"When were you planning on telling me this?" Snape asked
"Well the demon part I allready knew, the rest I found out today."
"Allright, and the will?"
"Oh!," Harry said unrolling it and started reading aloud"I James Ignotus Potter and I Lily Evans Potter being of sound mind and body declare this to be my final will and testament, all others being void. Harry if you're hearing this we have not survived to see your second birthday. Voldemort has come after us and killed us. Voldemort has come after us for a reason one both your mum and I think is worthless. There was a prophecy made before you were born basically saying only you would have the power to kill Voldemort. Voldemort was given the part of the prophecy by a death eater, one of his followers, and he has become obsessed with killing you. We have left Potter Manor in order to ensure it is left for you and gone into hiding at our family's cottage in Godric's Hollow under the Fidelius Charm. We have used my one of my friends, Peter Petigrew, as the secret keeper if we are dead he betrayed us to Voldemort. I love you son and leave everything your mom and I own to you. Stay safe and Prank as many people as you can. Hadrian my beautiful green eyed baby, I love you and wish I could be there to see you grow up. You're already doing magic, there's nothing accidental about it, talking and walking, and I'm pretty sure you already understand more than any other one year old. I have no doubt you will be able to beat Voldemort. Study hard learn all you can but don't forget to live your life and find someone to love. I love you. And I am proud of you no matter what. Severus Snape is your gaurdian. In no way shape or form are you to go to live with the Durselys should we die."
Director Ragnock, Can the blocks be removed?" Harry asked the goblin sitting in front of him
"yes just take my hand and I will do it." the director said
"Allright," Harry said taking the outstreched hand, the director started chanting and Harry's world exploded in pain. after 20 minutes the blocks came out along with the horcruxe.
"I think this may have stopped you from assuming the mantle of Lord Slytherin"
Ragnok looked at the parchment nodded his head and waved his hand.8 wooden boxes appeared."Now harry put on the rings." "Also you are emancipated since you are 11"
"Allright," Said Harry Potter putting on all the rings. "Good day Ragnock let's go I need to go visit my vault
"Ello Professor Snape, fancy seeing you 'ere." A deep voice boomed behind them. Both turned to regard to enormous form of Rebus Hagrid.
"Good afternoon Hagrid." Snape drawled out in an exasperated tone.
Hagrid smiled as he spotted Harry's small form beside the older wizard "Ah, 'Arry. Good ta see ya, las time I saw ya ye were an itty bitty baby." Hagrid said "My names 'Agrid, Groundskeeper of 'Ogwarts." he added crouching down to speak with him.
Harry cracked his heart warming smile at the half-giant "A pleasure to make your acquaintance Mister Hagrid sir." He replied shaking the mans large hand.
"Uh uh, I'll be havin none a that sir stuff, I was a friend of ya parents, jus call me 'Agrid." Hagrid stated happily.
Snape chose to cut in at that moment "What are you doing here Hagrid?" He asked with the same bored and mocking tone.
"Picking up a package for Dumbledore." Hagrid replied handing a key to the goblin.
Harry hummed as he followed behind a small fidgety goblin that would send him the occasional glance. As they boarded a cart with Hagrid, much to Snapes displeasure, he decided to speak with the goblin.
"So what's your name?" He asked.
"G-griphook Lord Potter, sir." the goblin stuttered back.
"Its nice to meet you Griphook. You can just call me Harry" He replied.
Snape understood as he studied the small interaction, the goblin had been acting strange since they had met him but after the small talk with Potter he seemed to relax, he had even sighed in relief when Potter had smiled at him as if he had expected the boy to attack him and was relieved to escape with his life. Another thing he noticed was the silence as the cart rolled through the caverns, every time he had come here there had always been the roars of dragons resounding throughout the cavern but this time there was absolute silence.
After a few minutes they arrived at at Vault 687.
"This is your vault Mister Potter, fortunately you can access the Potter family vault but this trust fund should be enough for now." Griphook explained as he opened the vault.
Snape gagged as he stared wide eyed at the various piles of gold and silver within the vault, there was more money here than in his personal vault and the Prince family vault combined and this was only the boys trust fund?
"Is there anyway to know how much I have in here?" Harry asked sparing the vault only a single glance.
"Yes sir, there's a self-updating bank statement next to the door there," Griphook replied pointing at a piece of parchment attached to the wall "That's only a copy so you can take it with you." he added as Harry perused the form.
"Thanks." Harry replied, grabbing one of the money bags on the wall and filling it with several hand fulls of gold coins. the bag was magically expanded so it didn't even grow in size as the gold was poured in, closing and tying the bag Harry stuffed it into his pocket and they left the vault behind.
Descending to vault 713 Harry moved aside as Hagrid shuffled out of the cart and into the vault, he noted that the vault was strangely empty except for a small paper wrapped package in the center which Hagrid stuffed into his pocket.
"He sent you to come grab it? What is that old fool thinking!" Snape hissed at Hagrid as he reentered the cart.
Hagrid threw him a glare but remained silent, Snape continued to glare at the half-giant as they rode the cart back to the bank lobby.
"Right then, I'll be seeing ya at 'Ogwarts 'Arry." Hagrid stated patting him on the back.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Hagrid." Harry replied with his trademark heart warming smile, nodding to him Hagrid turned and lumbered off.
"Come along Potter we don't have all day." Snape drawled "You are permitted to enter any store you choose, it is only my duty to advise you on what you buy so you don't waste your money or forget anything."
Harry led him back to the Alley's entrance, from there they could walk past the stores one by one and loop around.
Entering the Apothecary Harry was informed by Snape that the older man was the potions professor at Hogwarts. With the mans help and advice he bought a large shelved closet and filled it with several different ingredients. The closet was enchanted to shrink when tapped with a wand and also extended the lifetime of materials stored within it. He bought a years supply of ingredients with over ten years until they expired inside the closet. Shrinking the closet down until it was the size of a card deck he placed it into a magically expanded shopping bag and followed Snape out the door.
Rather than continue with his original plan Snape dragged him across the street to the cauldron shop where Harry purchased a brass, iron, gold and silver cauldron as well as a set of scales and two pairs of knives that magically cut ingredients for the user, he also got a pair of magical ladles that would follow any instructions given and stir the potions perfectly. Snape placed the other objects within the cauldrons then shrunk the four cauldrons for him and placed them in the shopping bag.
Exiting the store Harry crossed the road, once more ignoring the looks sent his way by passerby's, and walked past the Apothecary as well as Quality Quidditch Supplies where several children were gawking at the newest broom, a Nimbus 2000.
Entering a small stationary shop he purchased three packs of parchment in white, yellow and black. Four bottles of ink in black, blue, gold and silver. He then bought a lovely but expensive Griffin quill as well as several Hippogriff quills. Lastly he purchased an acid green, peacock feather Quick-Quotes quill, which was a quill that was magically enchanted to write down whatever was said in order to speed up note taking time.
Afterward Snape guided him around Flourish and Blott's to purchase his school books. While there Harry also picked up a book on advanced charms, potions and spells as well as a book on auror fighting styles and spells. After a suggestion from Snape he picked up a copy of 'Hogwarts: A History' for research. Snape tapped his foot impatiently as Harry picked up a couple books on ministry laws and regulations, instead of placing them with his other books though the boy simply flipped through them and replaced them on the shelf, after a few minutes of this they paid and left the store.
Next they came to Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Entering the store Harry spotted a young blond boy already being measured, the boy's eyes widened as they enter and he smiled.
"Hello Uncle Sev." The boy greeted "What are you doing here?"
Snape gave the boy a small smile "Hello Draco. I'm currently working, Dumbledore has me escorting Mister Potter here around while he shops. Harry this is my godson Draco Malfoy. Draco, Harry Potter" He replied.
Harry gave the other boy a nod, but the boy and the woman measuring him could only stare, caught up by both his fame and overbearing charm.
"Bless my soul, Harry Potter." The woman said at the same time Draco exclaimed.
"Blimey your Harry Potter!."
"Manners Draco, Mister Potter does not appreciate being gawked at like an animal." Snape drawled, Harry could still hear some amusement in his tone. He smiled at the two before him.
Draco and the woman blushed in reply, one in embarrassment and the other from his heart fluttering smile.
Taking a stand on the pedestal next to Draco the blond boy engaged him in some light conversation as they were both measured.
"My father's next door buying my books, and mother's up the street looking at wands," Draco drawled, although he was talking to Harry the comment was also directed at Snape who nodded at the boys before exiting the store. "After this I'm going to drag them off to look at racing brooms. I think I'll bully father into getting me one, and I'll smuggle it in somehow. Have you got your own broom?" Draco continued.
"Not yet, no point since I cant take it with me." Harry replied
"Ah okay, do you play Quidditch as well?" Draco asked after a moment
"No, I've been raised by my muggle relatives so I don't know much about the wizarding world." Harry answered nonchalantly, Draco gave him an apologetic look.
"That's a shame, It must be horrible living with muggles." He stated
"Not really, they're afraid of magic so they try to avoid me as much as possible." Harry replied, Draco nodded and gave him a small smile.
"Know what house you'll be in yet?" he asked changing the subject
"Not yet." Harry replied.
"Well, no one really knows until they get there, do they? But I hope I'll be in Slytherin; all my family have been, also Uncle Snape's the head of house." Draco boasted
"Oh? Well in that case I hope I get sent to Slytherin as well." Harry commented. Draco spent the next few minutes telling him all about the houses and what they stood for. Although Madame Malkin cut in a few times to straighten some points out and give an unbiased overview of the four houses, Harry couldn't help but agree that Slytherin seemed to be the best house for him.
Gryffindors were all about courage and brashness, something he was not.
Ravenclaws were studious and knowledgeable, and while he liked to learn he would prefer to do other more exciting things instead.
Hufflepuffs even though they were looked down on were Loyal and friendly, to him they sounded like followers and if there was one thing Harry Potter refused to be it was a follower.
Slytherins on the other hand were smart and cunning they looked out for themselves first and others second, and even though they were regarded as evil that was only because most Slytherins were dark wizards. To him Slytherin sounded like a perfect place to belong. They were like the ninja's of old, cunning and ruthless only with less skill.
Draco's head turned as his attention was drawn by something outside the window.
"I say, look at that man!" he shouted, nodding towards the front window. Harry turned and spotted who he was talking about, lumbering past the store towards the Leaky Cauldron was Hagrid.
"Oh that's Hagrid, he works at Hogwarts." Harry supplied.
"Oh" Draco said "Ive heard of him, he's a servant of some kind isn't he?"
"He's a groundskeeper." Harry replied.
"Yes, exactly. The Headmaster at Hogwarts took him on after he got expelled. Now he lives in a hut on the school grounds and every now and then he gets drunk, tries to do magic, and ends up setting fire to his bed." Draco stated.
"I don't know about that but he seems quite nice, I met him at the bank earlier." Harry responded.
Before Draco could reply Madame Malkin announced that his robes were finished. Jumping down from the pedestal Draco extended a hand to Harry.
"It was nice meeting you Potter, friends?" he asked.
Smiling back at the boy Harry shook his hand "Sure thing." he replied.
As Draco collected his robes and paid the seamstress Snape reentered the store followed by a tall blond man who looked similar to Draco.
"Oh father!" Draco exclaimed excitedly "This is my new friend Harry Potter, Harry this is my father Lucius Malfoy." Draco said introducing the two.
Harry shook the older mans hand "A pleasure to meet you Mister Malfoy." He said politely
"And I you, Mister Potter." Lucius replied with a nod. "Severus was just telling me about you, how have you found the wizarding world in comparison to the muggle world?" he asked
"Oh it's quite wonderful." Harry replied "Living with muggles is so boring, I'm just glad I was accepted to Hogwarts." he added.
At this time Madame Malkin also finished up with his robes.
Buying 7 pairs of plain black school robes, Harry also purchased 7 black dress shirts, 7 pairs of black pants, 2 dark green inner robes and a black outer robe with a silver trim. The last robe was a dress robe used for dances and formal gatherings. He also bought a pair of black dragon-skin boots as well as a pair of green dragon-skin boots. Lastly he purchased a pack of black socks and three ties all with the same design, they had large black stripes bordered with slightly thinner green stripes and the green stripes were then bordered with silver threading.
Moving to the on-shelf section Harry picked out several sets of casual clothing that could be worn in both the muggle and magical worlds, most of the clothes were in black and silver or multiple shades of green.
Snape and Lucius smirked and nodded to his selection of Slytherin colors but frowned when Harry also purchased a crimson dress robe with gold trimming, obvious Gryffindor colors. Paying the seamstress Harry placed all his purchases within the enchanted bag and followed Snape out the store. He said his good byes to Draco and Lucius as the two headed to Ollivanders while Harry and Snape entered the Magical Menagerie.
The store was very cramped and stuffy, filled with various animals. Ignoring the snakes hissing complaints from their cage Harry followed behind Snape, according to the school rules students were only allowed a toad, owl or cat while at Hogwarts. After spending time viewing each creature Harry crossed off the Toads from his list, he had expected some to be magical descendants of his ancestor's summons but all the store contained were normal variety toads.
An owl was also crossed off since he had his own way of delivering letters that was faster and pet owl's tend to stick out with muggles. In the end he chose a black and silver striped half-Kneazle, the cat had taken a liking to him and Harry decided to name it Yugito since it was female. Snape had looked at him strangely due to the strange name but had kept silent as Harry purchased a cage, some food and toys for his new pet.
After that he stopped in at a luggage store to purchase a trunk, the trunk was magically expanded to hold up to 10 times its regular limit. Unlike the other trunks though this one came with a small school bag that was connected to the trunk, anything stored in the trunk could be withdrawn through the bag by sticking your hand in and thinking of what you want. Getting the trunk shrunk by a clerk Harry stored it within his shopping bag and followed behind Snape as they left the store.
Walking past the joke shop and the second hand robe store Harry entered Ollivanders wand shop. He noticed that Draco had already left and only he, Snape and a pudgy old man were within the shop. As the old man walked over to speak to them Harry smirked, underneath the illusion his eyes spun and a moment later Snape and Ollivander froze as their eyes glazed over. Casting a minor illusion over the store so he wouldn't be interrupted Harry slipped behind the counter and into the workshop behind the store.
Behind the counter was a room filled with many strange objects, there were several different logs of wood laying about, on a table to the side was a small pile of glowing feathers. Beside them was what had to be the biggest heart he had ever seen, it was at least twice the size of his head and seemed to still beat with a steady rhythm. Taking a step into the room Harry gagged as a feeling of utter revulsion filled him, he nearly dropped to his knees and emptied his stomach but with a few deep breaths was able to calm himself, spreading out his senses he located the source of the feeling.
The pile of glowing feathers were actually Phoenix feathers and next to the door hidden from his line of sight until he entered the room was a large pile of Unicorn hairs. Materials from two of the purest light creatures were in such close proximity that it was a wonder he didn't pass out. Being a pure demon, a creature of the dark he shared the revulsion for all light creatures that dark creatures held and being so close to the large amounts of hair and feathers had caused a negative reaction.
Calming himself he focused on the tables the two piles rested on, slowly but surely the wood bent and warped until the two piles were encased in a small wooden ball, lessening the effect they had on him. Straightening up he began to look around the room searching for the correct items, he found his goal in the form of a bookcase at the back of the room hidden behind a tapestry. Searching quickly he pulled out five tomes, each was bound in red with a black number on the front numbering from one to five. Above each number was the books title.
'A warlocks guide to wand crafting'
Harry smirked as he viewed the collection. He had flipped through a book of ministry laws at Florish and Blott's earlier, and while Snape thought he had just skimmed thorough and put them back in boredom Harry had actually been memorizing the books one by one with his Sharingan abilities. It was through these books that he had learned about not only the laws on underage magic and the trace on an underage witch or wizards wand, but also the ban on wand crafting by non licensed individuals. It was also through this knowledge that he had guessed correctly that Ollivander would have books on said subject.
Opening the first book, Harry slowly flipped through the pages taking the time to memorize and burn all the information into his mind. After five minutes he had finished viewing all the books and after placing them back on the shelf he looked through the rest of Ollivander books for any items of interest. He chose to memorize book on magical enhancers, another on materials best used for wandcrafting, and Ollivanders personal notes on matching a wand with its user.
Once finished he hid all hints of his actions and quickly fled from the room before the feathers and hairs could affect him. Slipping back into the main section of the store he walked over just as Ollivander was finished finding a wand suitable for his illusionary self. Harry heard something about great things blah blah blah powerful wand blah blah blah brother wands blah blah blah scar on head.
Taking his position in front of the man he reached out and grabbed hold of the wand Ollivander offered, the feeling of revulsion entered him once more and it took nearly all his willpower to not destroy the wand in his hand. The wand contained a phoenix feather at its core and although the effect was less than that of the feather pile in the back it still affected him to a degree. He would never truly bond with this wand and using it would limit his abilities.
With a snap of his fingers the illusion was dispelled and the glazed look on both mens eyes cleared and they continued on as if nothing had changed.
"That will be 7 galleons Mister Potter." Ollivander stated.
Handing over the money Harry followed behind Snape as they left, the potions master was acting strangely but he was sure it had more to do with what Ollivander had said about his wand than anything else, after all no one in this day and age was powerful or experienced enough to sense a genjutsu. Crossing the road Harry walked past the junk store as they made their way back to the Leaky Cauldron.
He felt a tight grip on his shoulder as he tried to turn down a darkened road, his first instinct was to remove the offending hand from his body but he was able to calm himself before he could react. Turning he followed the arm up to a stern looking Snape who was shooting a disdainful look down the alleyway.
"I would suggest you avoid Knockturn alley Mister Potter, it is not a place for respectable wizards to venture into. There are many dark and forbidden items for sale within the alley." Snape explained glaring down into the darkened alleyway.
Nodding to the older man Harry shot one last look at Knockturn alley before continuing on his way. Passing by an ice cream store and a candy shop Harry made a stop inside a magical instruments shop.
"Welcome, what can I help you with sir?" The attendant asked from behind the counter of the small store. Harry noted that the walls were covered with different clocks each with a different function but none of which told the time, within the glass counter were various watches, two boxes of rings as well and several necklaces and pins. A large cabinet to the right of the door held various weapons and holsters, while another held different items of dress, like sunglasses and earrings.
''Hello, I'm just looking," Harry replied as he walked up to the counter, spotting an item of interest he asked "Can you tell me what this watch here does?" he asked pointing at a round silver watch with a black and green leather strap. It had mostly caught his eye since it was in Slytherin colors.
"Ah yes, that's one of the newer models. It has four functions, each activated by one of these buttons." The attendant explained holding up the watch and showing off the buttons, two on each side.
"The first function tells you the time at either your current position or any where else in the world. Simply hold the button and say the location and it will tell you the time in that area." He then pushed the button and Harry watched as the watch face blinked over and the current time appeared in red on the surface.
"The second function is like a tracker, simply point the watch at what you want to track and push the button, the watch will then magically send you signals allowing you to track down what ever you cast it on." Harry nodded along and pretended to be fascinated with that, the watch was low on magical power meaning it would most likely have a limited range. It was far simpler for him to use his senses when tracking someone.
The clerk continued on to the third function without pause "The third function allows you to program a low power spell into the watch, it currently holds the Lumos spell but there is a list of spells you can program into the watch allowing you to use your wand with one hand and another spell with the other."
Harry perked up at this, although the spells would be low level the fact he could program spells into an object was interesting. He had been trying to do that with his seals but each time the seal would either overload or short circut, the watch would most likely give him the break through he needed.
"How were all these functions added to the watch?" He cut in as the clerk was moving on to the fourth function.
"The watch was enchanted, enchantment is a demanding but rewarding branch of magic that you will have the option of taking in your 7th year." Snape explained from his spot behind Harry. Harry simply nodded in reply as he filed the information away, he would definitely have to look in on enchantments.
The clerk took the silence as his cue to continue and began on the watches fourth function "The forth button is like a day planner, just hold it say the date and time of your appointment and it will sound a chime an hour in advance to remind you." he finished explaining.
Nodding Harry placed the watch on the counter, he also placed a pair of rings that served as short range radios. Enchanted glasses that protected the eyes from potion fumes, blinding spells as well as dust and debris. A necklace with a large blue sapphire that was enchanted to increase the wearers luck as well as protect from danger by use of a medium power shield spell. A wand holster that could go around the waist or the wrist and was enchanted to prevent the wand within from being summoned. Lastly he picked out a matching pair of 12 inch long daggers enchanted to never dull, never stain as well as cause wounds that couldn't be healed with magic.
Harry found it strange that Snape -a professor at the school he was to attend- said nothing about the obviously dangerous items he was purchasing, the man simply looked on with his constant scowl as Harry paid for the items and exited the store. Ignoring the now constant gawkers Harry made his way past the last few stores and eventually they arrived back at the leaky cauldron where Snape suggested they get some lunch while he explained a few things.
Inside the bar they had a run in with a tall fidgety man by the name of Quirrell who Snape seemed to detest but Harry found interesting, he learned that Quirrell was also one of the professors at Hogwarts and would be teaching him Defense Against the Dark Arts. After shaking the mans hand for close to five minutes they managed to get a table and order lunch.
"Now Mister Potter it is my duty to inform you that you are not permitted to use magic in front of muggles or while out of school until you come of age." Snape stated. Harry simply nodded, from his earlier reading he already knew that the law would only come into effect once he set foot in Hogwarts. Until then he could practice as much magic as he wanted.
Reaching into his robe Snape pulled out a small slip of paper.
"This is your ticket for the Hogwarts express, the train leaves on the last day of august from Kings Cross station." He explained handing over the slip "As you can see you leave from platform 9 and 3/4, which is magically hidden from muggles, to reach it you must walk through the pillar between platforms 9 and 10."
Harry nodded in understanding as he tucked the ticket into his pocket as their food arrived. Thanking the waitress they both dug into their food while Harry asked the professor a few questions about the school.
Once the meal was finished Snape once more put a hand on his shoulder and apparated them both back to Privet Drive, they arrived just outside the wards and Snape peered down at his young charge.
"Enjoy your summer Mister Potter, I will see you at Hogwarts." he stated.
"Thank you for your assistance professor, I look forward to the coming school year." Harry replied giving his heart warming smile.
Nodding stiffly Snape smirked slightly as he apparated away.
Turning Harry hummed slightly as he headed back to number 4 Privet Drive. The day had gone well, he now knew where to pick up magical supplies and had some new books to keep him entertained for the summer. He frowned as he remembered his first order of business, getting a new wand.
Although he had mastered countless jutsu that would make most spells seem like child's play he would need a wand to keep his cover as a regular wizard. He already had an idea of what he would need to get the wand but it would take a few tries to correctly create the wand even with the knowledge from Ollivander he still needed practice to use it effectively.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Sunday, August 11th 1991-
Harry cursed as yet another wand blew up in his face sending splinters flying around the room. He grumbled to himself as the magically enhanced shards of wood were slowly pushed out of his skin and the wounds sealed shut with a hiss. Having nigh impenetrable skin he had been caught completely off guard when the first wand exploded and managed to harm him. Since then he had gotten used to having to heal himself every time one of these wands detonated.
It had been over a week since his trip to Diagon alley and since that time he had been trying to make a new wand tailored for him, he had dropped by a nearby lumber mill and 'borrowed' several different logs of wood to use.
Unfortunately the ritual used to find his compatible materials always ended the same way, splinters of wood in the face. Other than the rare or magical breeds of wood, he had already tried every type of wood available, hell he had even grown his own tree using his Mokuton powers alone and that had ended the same.
'Dammit, do I have to go see Ollivander again? Maybe he has some rarer types of wood I can use.' Harry pondered angrily, with a wave of his hand the bits of wood collected together into a pile and then seemed to fuse together until a small log was left in their place.
Slumping down onto the floor Harry mentally reviewed what he had learned from Ollivanders books. He had already used the core seeking spell and had found himself well suited for Thestral heartstrings. Thestrals were creatures of death and were one of the closest magical creatures to demonkind. A wand made with their heartstrings as a core would suit him far better than the phoenix feather wand that twit Ollivander had given him. He absolutely abhorred that wand, every time he touched it he felt like insects were crawling all over his body. It was revolting.
Now if only he could find a proper material to encase the core with, none of the common materials were working and the only option left was a crystal wand or a bone wand. Unfortunately the only crystals he could get his hands on were within his vault and none of those had worked well, the diamond had shown some compatibility but was not powerful enough to be used as a casing, perhaps as a focus and enhancer but not as a casing. As for bones he had used dragon, giant and even troll but none had worked. Perhaps he would need to make another trip into Knockturn alley for some rarer materials.
As he thought Harry carded his hands through his hair and sighed, it was as he was doing this that his mind landed on a footnote in Ollivanders personal notes. According to the wandmaker, using a part of the wielder in the crafting process would make the wand far more compatible. Harry had assumed this meant a hair or some blood and was prepared for that but as he stared at his arm he had a sudden thought.
Could it work? After all he was a magical creature, the purest in the last two centuries.
Staring blankly at his right arm Harry waved his other hand and a blade of wind formed at the tip of his fingers. Raising the hand up he poised it to strike, as the blade fell he had one thought.
'What I wouldn't give to be a Kaguya right now.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry almost whooped with joy in his excitement. The ritual had worked, he now had his casing. Reaching into the bubble of magic floating above the blood soaked floor Harry grasped hold of the item floating within. The bubble dissipated as he withdrew the item, held in his hand was a ten inch long, pristine white, hollow rod. It was exactly the same as any other wand casing in the world except for one simple fact, this was made of demon bone, his bone.
Harry flinched slightly as he felt phantom pains run through his arm. It had taken close to an hour to regenerate the bones in his forearm and the process had been quite painful but he now had his casing, all he would need was the core and to perform the creation ritual. Looking outside his window he noticed that time had passed quickly, the sun had already set and it was the perfect time to go about his business once more.
Making sure his door was locked he grabbed a large black robe from his closet and slipped it on, pulling the hood up over his head he made sure his face was completely hidden within the shadows of the robe before tucking his phoenix wand into a pocket. Making sure he had his moneybag in his pocket Harry concentrated on his destination. A moment later the air around him seemed to twist and bend as his body was sucked into a vortex originating from his right eye.
Without a sound Harry twisted out of the vortex and landed softly in an alleyway beside Gringotts, like he had many times the last week he looked around the alleyway before dropping the illusion hiding his form. Pulling his hood back into place he made his way out of the alley. It was dark in Diagon alley and the shoppers had dwindled down to just a few people heading to the bars, the various shops were closing or already closed so not many noticed the small black form slip into Kockturn alley.
While Diagon alley was closing down and almost deserted, the stores within Knockturn alley were still open and looked like they would be for hours still. Ignoring the old woman attempting to sell him human fingers Harry made his way down the alley. Passing by a shady looking pet store, a tattoo pallor, a small pub and a second hand junk shop he made his way towards a store he had seen many times but never entered, Borgin and Burkes. According to the rumors he had heard in Diagon alley, Borgin and Burkes sold a variety of artifacts and dark items, exactly what he sought.
Stepping into the store he frowned as a small bell above the door rang, looking around Harry noted that there was no one else inside the establishment but he could hear sounds coming from a room behind the counter. Closing the door behind him he strolled through the store looking at the various items upon the shelf but making sure not to touch any, never knew what could happen.
"You lost boy?" A voice asked.
Turning Harry spotted a tall, dark haired man watching him from the counter.
"No, I'm exactly where I want to be." He said walking towards the counter.
"Oh?" the man asked with a raised brow and a skeptical look on his face "And what is it your looking to buy?"
"I require some Thestral heartstrings, the older the better." Harry replied with a low tone.
The clerks eyebrows rose even higher before his look of skepticism turned to one of suspicion.
"And what would a child like you need such items for?" he asked "Thestral parts are rare to come by, it will cost you a pretty penny." he added pulling out a black case from a shelf to the side.
Pulling out a bag of Galleons Harry spilled the gold coins onto the counter top.
"Money is not an issue." He replied.
The clerks eyes sparkled as he looked at the pile of gold, his suspicious look turned into one of greed as he opened the black case. Within the case were several small vials each with a different looking material inside. Reaching into the case the man pulled out five vials, three of which had a mass of red flesh within and the last two had some black dried mass.
"The red ones are only a few years old and they cost 107 Galleons a piece, the black ones are far older and are 234 galleons a piece." The clerk explained.
Harry nodded and divided up the gold, he bought the two black vials in case one failed. Thestrals like most magical beings became more powerful as they aged, as such the older the heartstring he used the more powerful his wand would be. Slipping the two vials into his pocket Harry packed the rest of the gold into his pouch.
"Will you be needing anything else sir?" the clerk asked.
"I'm starting school soon, what would you suggest?" Harry asked calmly.
The clerk seemed to think for a bit before snapping his fingers and heading into the back room, he came out moments later carrying a small stack of books.
"I take it your going to Hogwarts? Yeah that's what I thought, well considering who the headmaster is you wont have a chance to learn any of the so called 'dark' arts. These are some books on basic and advanced curses, there's a whole set here so you can learn them as you grow. I even included one on Legilimency." the clerck declared setting the books on the counter.
Harry counted a set of 8 on curses and dark spells, one book on unforgivable curses from around the world as well as a book on mind arts.
The clerk stopped him as he went for his money pouch.
"I have a few terms before you can buy these." He said.
Harry frowned "What terms?" He asked.
"Well first off you have to understand that this stuff takes a while to learn so don't go blaming me if you cant do it on your first try." the clerk stated.
Harry nodded in acceptance, that was understandable.
"Secondly you must swear an oath to tell no one what you bought here. These books are illegal and I'm only offering since you have the cash, if you wont swear the oath then I wont sell them to you." the clerk stated darkly.
Harry could see him fingering his wand and he was sure his memory would be erased if he refused to swear the oath. He growled slightly, unlike wizards he was a demon, his oath carried far more weight than theirs and as such he tried to never give his word. Taking a moment to review the mans request he couldn't really find any way this could come back around to harm him so he decided he would give his oath this once. Of course an illusion would easily fool the human before him but there wasn't much of a point for a small issue like this.
"I swear on my blood and magic to never reveal what I have purchased this day." He said loudly, the air crackled with power as the oath was made.
"So mote it be." the clerk added with a tone of finality, there was a loud snap as the oath was accepted and their magic bound to it.
Smiling at him the Clerk pushed the books forward.
That will be 456 Galleons for all ten books" he stated.
Harry quickly handed the money over and collected the books. The clerk watched as Harry pulled out a piece of parchment and seemed to doodle on it. His eyes widened comically as the books were then placed on top of the parchment and disappeared with a puff of smoke. He wisely chose to say nothing as Harry rolled up the parchments and with a nod exited the store.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Tuesday, August 13 1991-
Harry sighed as he finished drawing the last rune. He was currently in the top floor of an old abandoned building just a few miles from his home. The wards surrounding number 4 Privet Drive were weak and easy to circumvent from time to time but even they would sense the amount of magical power he was about to release.
Drawn on the ground with black charcoal was a star within an inverted triangle within a triangle within a square within a circle, the entire diagram was made up of various runes with multiple functions. In the center of the diagram lay three objects, the pristine white bone casing, the pitch black heartstring and a small clear diamond.
Standing up he surveyed his handy work and nodded in appreciation, the rune diagram was perfect and everything was prepared. Drawing on his power he began to pour it into the diagram while whispering the words for the spell. The runes glowed a bright red as a tornado of pure energy surrounded the three objects, the energy raised them up into the air and began to twist and bend around until the objects were stored within a dark red bubble similar to the one used in the identifying ritual.
Harry continued to whisper the ritual words for a few more minutes until the red bubble turned pitch black and then clear to reveal a single object within. The glow from the runes lessened and then disappeared leaving the ground underneath clear of any evidence. Harry took a step closer and with no hesitation reached into the bubble and grasped his wand.
He gasped as pure power shot through his body from the wand, the object bonded to his core within a moment and he felt his power grow exponentially. This wand was far more powerful than his other and as he held it in his hand he felt like he could do anything at all, he felt invincible.
Unlike most wands that were created to focus a witch or wizards power this one served a different function. Harry had near perfect control over his magic so a focusing item was unneeded, the runes he had used for this ritual served to create an amplifier instead of a focus. The wand would boost his power rather than focus it like other wands would.
After a few minutes he calmed down from his power high and withdrew his new wand from the magical bubble. Rather than the white bone he had expected the wand was now a pitch black and seemed to absorb light rather than reflect it. It was 9 inches long, completely smooth and topping the wand was a clear 3 inch long diamond tip with a long strand that trailed down the wand slightly. (Picture link on my profile page.)
Holding it tightly he pointed it towards a wall and decided to test the wand. He made a quick slashing motion with the wand as he whispered a spell.
"Diffindo"
He felt as a sliver of his power flowed into the wand and out the tip. The diamond tip of his wand glowed a light green as the cutting charm as fired towards the wall.
Harry gaped as he observed the aftereffects of his spell, the last time he had practiced the cutting charm with his other wand it had left a five inch long cut on the wall that was only a few centimeters deep. This time however his spell had cleaved a meter long gash into the wall and although he couldn't see how deep it was he could definitely hear air flowing in through the cut.
Harry looked down at the wand wide eyes before grinning widely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Thursday, August 29th 1991-
Harry hummed to himself as he flipped another page in his book. he would be leaving for Hogwarts in two days and had decided to pass the time reading and learning. He had already memorized all of his first year text books, the first three of the dark arts books from Knockturn as well as the books on advanced charms and mind arts. He was currently reviewing the book on mind arts in order to further his Legilimency.
Harry had discovered weeks ago that as a demon he had natural mental barriers, as such he would never need to worry about having his mind invaded. On the other hand he needed twice as much practice to master invading another's mind, -well without use of his Dojutsu that is- something his 'relatives' had been most helpful with. Speaking of which...
"Oh Dudders, could you give me a hand with something?" he asked his large cousin as the boy walked past his door.
Dudley froze in step as his eyes widened in fear. Harry smirked, the large boy was most likely remembering the last time he had 'given him a hand'. Dudley had spent hours on the floor gripping his head in pain as Harry forcefully invaded his mind and practiced his Legilimency.
As if sensing his cousins thoughts Dudley turned and made a dead run for his room, or at least he attempted to. The second Dudley began running Harry was already leaning out the door with his wand trained on the boys back.
"Petrificus Totalus " The full body-bind caught him in the back mid step causing him to fall forward and land flat on his face.
A wave of his wand and Harry had his cousin floating towards him, the larger boy was levitated into the room and dropped on the floor as the door shut behind him. A moment later Dudley could move again but he chose to cower on the floor.
Grinning down at his cousin Harry aimed his wand at him.
"Relax this wont hurt a bit, well I think it wont I haven't really had a chance to practice with it you see." he stated nonchalantly
Dudley whimpered.
"Obliviate."

-Saturday, August 31st 1991-
Stepping out onto the platform Harry sighed in relief as the illusion surrounding him dropped, it was near impossible for him to walk anywhere without attracting attention yet alone through a pillar in a busy train station, muggles were less resistant to his allure and would have followed his every move had he not set up an illusion beforehand.
Head held high Harry calmly made his way towards the large red train engine, he pointedly ignored the looks he garnered from the crowd as he walked by. Several women actually swooned when they caught his eye, how embarrassing. For them at least, he found it amusing.
He spotted Draco and his father standing next to a beautiful and equally blond woman, most likely his friends mother. Passing by a group of blushing giggling teens Harry made his way over to the Malfoy family.
"Harry, good to see you again." Draco exclaimed seeing his friend come close, his father and mother both turned to see him at Dracos exclamation.
"Hello Draco, Mister Malfoy." Harry greeted politely, he got a smile from the younger boy and a nod from the older Malfoy "And you must be Draco's mother?" he asked the woman.
"Narcissa Malfoy, it nice to finally meet Draco's new friend." She said holding out a hand.
"Harry Potter at your service ma'am." Harry replied taking the hand and kissing her knuckles lightly "And I must say you are far more beautiful than I was led to believe." He added
Narcissa blushed slightly at the compliment "You're very polite for one so young Mister Potter." She replied.
"Its easy to sound polite when your being truthful." Harry answered back with a smile.
Narcissa's blush deepened "And a smooth talker as well, you should be careful Lucius this young man might just steal me away."
Lucius chuckled "Well dear he certainly knows what he's doing." he replied. "Why don't you help your friend onto the train Draco before he steals your mother away." Lucius added with a grin.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Malfoy, I look forward to seeing the two of you again." Harry said with a wave. Following behind Draco he boarded the train and looked for a compartment.
"Where's your trunk?" Draco asked noticing that Harry was only carrying a small cage with his cat inside.
"I had it shrunk at the store, its in my pocket." Harry lied, no need for Draco to know that he had shrunken it himself.
"Ah, I should have had father do the same instead of carrying it around like a muggle." Draco stated bitterly. "Are you going to do anything about this?" he asked looking around.
Harry smirked as he saw what Draco was talking about, since they entered the train a small group of girls had been crowding around giggling while those already in compartments threw open their doors and made room for him to sit.
"What makes you think its my fault?" Harry mock asked.
Draco shot him a blank look with a single raised brow in question.
"Fine lets try to find an empty compartment." Harry stated striding ahead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ducking into an empty compartment Draco watched in fascination as the girls walked on by without even sparing them a glance. He turned to Harry with a raised eyebrow.
"Its a simple illusion spell I read about." Harry lied.
Draco simply nodded and turned to the window. Spotting his parents he waved as the train's horn sounded and the vehicle began to move.
'Hogwarts here I come.' Harry thought with a grin
