Chapter 1- Survival
Nine year old Harry Potter had finally had enough. Ever since he could remember he was belittled and called a freak by his relatives. Every year that he could remember his birthday present was a beating, with each getting progressively worse as the years wore on. Harry was not a stupid child. Every time he would tell someone in authority or try to run away the next day he would be back at Number 4 Privet Drive without memory of the running away, and none of the people he told could remember either.
You may wonder how he knew he ran away if he didn't have a memory of it. He had taken to writing a journal where he wrote down everything of importance that happened to him. The journal would tell him that he ran away but he never got far. This made Harry have an extreme distrust of authority figures or most of humanity in general.
Harry learned to adapt to the situation that he was stuck at privet drive until he figured out the situation. It was after these beatings that he really started to get suspicious. Some of the injuries were pretty severe ones. Because his birthday fell during the summer holidays his uncle Vernon apparently felt that it was ok to go all out. The suspicious event that occurred after each beating was that his body healed itself overnight while lying in his cupboard of a bedroom.
The healing seemed to work best for now when he slept for a night. This ability was complemented by the ability to regrow his hair overnight. That event occurred when Harry's Aunt Petunia cut all of his hair really short and Harry was so stressed that he wished it would grow back when he went to sleep, the next morning it was back.
The last nail in the coffin so to speak was when Harry was being chased by his cousin Dudley and his gang by his school. Harry wished really hard that he was somewhere where Dudley wouldn't find him. The next thing he knew he was overcome with a squeezing sensation and he appeared on his school roof.
Harry documented all of these occurrences in his journal. These events and others lead him to one conclusion. Harry had powers or abilities that the people around him didn't have. Another conclusion Harry drew from these events was that his Aunt and Uncle knew something about the abilities. They would call him freak and mention his unnaturalness whenever they beat him or punished him.
Harry wanted to know what they knew about his powers. To accomplish this goal he would need to make them tell him what they knew. The Dursleys only seemed to know one language and that was violence and intimidation. Harry would need an ability that would allow him to scare the Dursleys.
Teleporting would allow Harry to do that if he could develop it to the point where he could take another person with him. He could teleport his uncle up very high, let him fall to the ground, and then teleport himself back to safety. The problem with using that ability is that it would be a one time thing. He could get the height wrong and kill his uncle instead of injuring him.
The healing ability really had no ability to intimidate his relatives because it was all internal. If the ability to lengthen his hair was related to being able to change the shape of other body parts and features then it had one application that Harry could think of to harm his relatives. Harry could make himself look like his uncle and go commit crimes while under the guise of Vernon Dursley. While this was satisfying it would not accomplish Harry goals as easily as another ability. Plus whatever was bringing Harry back to the Dursleys when he ran away and making everybody forget would probably just make everybody forget again.
Harry was a pretty avid science fiction reader. In a lot of the science fiction he read some of the characters had the ability of telekinesis. Harry particularly liked the Jean Grey character in X- Men that he was able to read at the local library. Her powers were telepathy and telekinesis.
Harry recognized a correlation between all of the events where his powers manifested themselves. They all occurred when Harry was in a strongly emotional state. This meant that Harry would need to learn to control his emotions. To this end Harry checked out several books from the local library on meditation.
Harry would wait until the Dursleys were asleep and then practice the meditation techniques in his cupboard. The first few weeks that Harry tried to meditate he met with little success. It wasn't until the third week that Harry started to make any progress. Harry found a sense of peace and calm wash over himself. He appeared to be in a place surrounded by darkness with small silver clouds floating around him.
Harry willed himself to float over to one of the clouds and carefully touched it. He found himself immersed in a memory of when he was six and got his birthday beating. Harry pulled back from the memory and looked around. There was a massive sea of memory clouds floating around him. Harry decided that the next step in his emotional control was to sort out his emotions which were tied to the memory clouds.
Over the coarse of the next six months Harry sorted the memory clouds into filing cabinets that he willed into existence. Harry found that he had few positive memories. The only times he could recall being happy was when he was in the library or reading. A good deal of those nights Harry cried himself to sleep because of the emotions. Over time it got easier to deal with the emotions.
Harry also found another positive aspect of this memory sorting was the ability to instantly recall anything he ever learned in school. Harry had always been very careful to never score better than his cousin in school because the one time he did he was beaten for it very badly. With his
new ability he had to keep himself from answering every question correctly. Harry decided that if he succeeded to get leverage over his relatives his grades were going to change quickly.
It also increased Harry's ability to speed read to a whole new level. He would just have to scan a page for a second and would have the entire page committed to memory. It wouldn't allow him to absorb the information into his conscious mind at will until he sorted the information into his file cabinets every night, but this was easily done.
Harry found all of his memories that were of before he came to the Dursleys and the instances where he tried to run away or tell authorities about his Dursley abuse appeared to be blocked. This confirmed his suspicions. He couldn't seem to unblock them so he set them aside for later.
Harry found in this place that he decided to call his mind's center a large glowing ball of energy. When Harry eventually learned how to immerse himself in the energy he was overcome with a feeling of power he had never experienced before. It was a very awesome feeling.
Harry was unable to access all of the energy. There appeared to be an energy net or shield cutting off access to his powers. There also seemed to be a sickly green energy blob in the shape of his scar that was siphoning off some of his energy. Harry could sense that this energy scar was foreign to his body and quite malicious. Harry was able to sever the connection that the scar had with his energy core but it was still in his mind. This alarmed Harry quite a bit.
The shield that was around his energy core gave Harry an idea. Harry was able to transfer the shield off his energy core to the energy scar in his center. When Harry did this his energy core expanded to 3 times it's original diameter. Now when Harry immersed himself in the energy it was amazing.
Harry was starting to concentrate on seeing if he had telekinetic abilities. Like the meditation he wasn't too successful at first, but he didn't give up. When Harry first started off he started with a piece of paper. It didn't move at first but then he concentrated on willing the energy to travel down his arm from his core and out to surround the piece of paper. He was eventually able to will it to lift off the ground.
It became easier when he was able to will some of the energy into his eyes to try to see the energy travel down his arm and surround the paper. At first the "pathways" that allowed the energy to travel down his arm were rather thin but over time they began to expand. When Harry moved the shield off his core and onto the scar the energy pathways went through a very rapid expansion. It was actually quite painful at first, Harry passed out in his cupboard.
Eventually Harry got to the point where he was able to lift larger and larger objects. At this point Harry was able to use the energy to lift his uncle's car. Harry had to check that out at night when everybody else was asleep. He had to teleport outside the house because his cupboard was kept locked at night.
Over this time Harry had been working on his teleportation, healing, and shape shifting his features abilities. Like the others it was slow going. The teleportation he discovered required extreme concentration at first but gradually required less and less as he practiced. It was very loud at first when Harry disappeared or appeared.
Harry had been studying physics to figure out some of the theory behind his abilities. He figured it might help to develop these abilities or others he might have. The telekinesis must be manipulation of the force of gravity. It appeared that there were low levels of the energy in his core everywhere and that he could use his energy to will objects to move through the background energy as he wanted.
The loud pops he heard echoing back at him when he teleported into enclosed spaces at first was caused by the rapid displacement of air when his molecules displaced the air molecules. He was very glad that the air molecules weren't rigid enough that they resisted displacement too much. Harry discovered that by willing himself to teleport slower the noise disappeared, at least to the capability of a human to hear.
His ability to shift his features had improved greatly over the months too. He found that by suffusing the area of the body that he wanted to shift with the energy it was pretty easy to will the body part to change. He could now make himself look like just about anybody he wanted. It was painful to change body sizes but Harry had learned to deal with pain before he started to experiment with his abilities because he had to deal with it on a daily basis during beatings.
When he started to experiment with the center he discovered the ability to lessen the pain by willing a control console for his body into existence. At first he had to be in the center to reduce the pain but after much practice he could reduce pain to non existent levels while in his conscious mind.
Harry figured with his telekinetic abilities at the level that they were it was time to confront his relatives. He waited until they were in their bedrooms one night about 7 months after he started to explore his abilities and walked into his Aunt and Uncles room without knocking. The reaction was expected.
"What the hell are you doing in here boy," Uncle Vernon bellowed. "I've come for some answers that were a long time in coming uncle," Harry replied. Harry's uncle advanced on him as if to punch him, but Harry used his telekinesis to fling the man against the wall and hold him there.
"Now none of that uncle Vernon," Harry sneered at the fat man. "You will never lay a hand on me again or I will end your pathetic life." To put an emphasis on his words Harry closed his fingers a little bit causing his uncle's throat to constrict using telekinesis. Harry observed his Aunt's reactions and was not surprised to note that she was afraid and pale but didn't appear to be too horribly surprised.
"I can tell by your reaction Aunt Petunia that you appear to know something about my abilities." "I've suspected that for a while since you seem to enjoy calling me a freak." "You will explain right now everything you know or I will start removing body parts from your husband."
With a nod of her head she began to speak, "My sister and your father were a witch and a wizard." Harry was pretty good at reading deception in people and she didn't appear to be lying. "Go on," Harry prompted. For the next hour Petunia proceeded to tell Harry about what she knew of the wizarding world.
Harry learned that his parents were murdered by a dark wizard named Voldemort. He learned that the headmaster of a school left Harry on the Dursley's doorstep the night his parents were killed. He learned that the wizard apparently erected blood wards around number 4. That explained what the shield around number 4 that he could see if he pushed power into his eyes was. It was actually quite weak, Harry thought.
Petunia appeared to be very jealous of her sister. She appeared to have allowed that jealousy to grow into hatred which she passed onto Harry. That night Harry learned how petty humans could be. She may have hated her sister but because of the jealousy she listened to what she said about the wizarding world.
Apparently the war his parents were involved in was over a faction of purebloods not wanting to relinquish power, so they went on a campaign to exterminate non purebloods or people who didn't share their ideals. So basically this war was a bunch of terrorists who used guerilla warfare tactics to terrorize a small inbred community. Harry was not amused at the situation he now found himself in.
He found out that in about a year and a half he would probably be getting a letter to go to the school the headmaster who left him here ran. Harry used his centering technique to suppress the rage he felt towards this headmaster. Petunia informed him that from the letter she learned that apparently Harry had vanquished the dark lord. Harry knew immediately that this would mean he had a great deal of enemies.
Harry made Petunia give him the letter which he kept for future purposes. When Harry heard enough for now he released Vernon from the wall and spoke the new house rules. "Here is how things are going to go around here from now on." "You will not speak any demeaning words to me at any time in the future." "This includes demeaning words about my parents." "I will do no more chores ever." "I will be moving into Dudley's second bedroom and will start to get decent sized meals."
"You stay out of my way I'll stay out of yours." "Just so you know I've taken the opportunity to record every single beating or abuse you have ever handed out to me." "I have pictures of everything." "If I fail to keep contact with certain people on a daily basis those pictures and
documents go directly to the newspapers and police." "So if your thinking about retaliating, don't." "I don't think you want the neighbors to realize what you have been up to."
If there was one sure fire way to keep his relatives in line then it was to threaten to expose them to the neighbors. "If you violate any of my rules you receive broken bones." "If the offences repeat you die." "Nobody can prove a damn thing if I don't touch you, and if you try to tell them I did magic they'll have you committed before you know what's going on."
"Tomorrow Aunt Petunia you will drive me to this leaky cauldron so that I can go to Diagon Alley." "I can find my own way back, I just can't get there the first time." With that finished Harry made his way out of their room and into Dudley's second bedroom. Dudley's second bedroom was scattered with broken toys everywhere. Any junk that looked like it wouldn't be useful to repair Harry used his telekinesis to atomize. It was a pretty useful technique to be able to pull the molecules of an object apart. He opened the window and pushed the dust out.
Anything that he could later repair was pushed into the closet. Harry then made his way over to the small bed and lay down to think. He didn't believe the energy he could harness was magical at all. More than likely it was some high energy that the physicists hadn't been able to detect yet. Harry had managed to teleport into the local high school at night and started reading all of the books he had access to there. He was pretty good at any science up to a high school graduate level. He would need to see about finding college level materials.
There were no universities within easy walking distance of Surrey. Now that his relatives were sufficiently cowed he could unleash his full intellectual might at school. He figured that it would be pretty simple to jump grades to a high school senior at the beginning of next year and then graduate at the end of next year, right when he started at Hogwarts. It sounded like the isolation of the wizards from the mundane world was extreme.
In Harry's opinion this was the height of folly. From his readings in history and philosophy Harry had learned isolation breeds misunderstanding. Misunderstanding leads to fear and fear leads people to do unspeakable things. If it was getting to the point where the wizards would come out into the mundane world during the last war and torture and kill and get away with it using memory modification then something needed to be done.
First Harry needed more information about the wizarding world. He would need to be skilled. This Dumbledore appeared to have plans for Harry that Harry didn't think he would like. Harry suspected that he would be well known given the size of this community and what he did to this past dark lord. This Dumbledore probably sought to use Harry and manipulate him. He apparently hadn't counted on the affects the beatings had on Harry's personality.
Harry would need to use his shifting abilities to disguise himself tomorrow when he ventured into Diagon Alley. It wouldn't do to give his hand away to Dumbledore too early in the game. Harry would set up at least 2 alternate identities and plenty of escape plans should something go
wrong. He would have at least one of these identities continue his college education. There was probably some magical way to allow Harry to duplicate the degree certificates with the names of his other identities on them and to create records too.
Harry knew you could do mail correspondence college courses nowadays. Harry suspected from what his Aunt said about his father being an old line pureblood that he would have accounts at this Gringotts bank. He would check tomorrow and use this money to finance his plans. With these thoughts Harry centered himself and fell asleep.
Chapter 2- Diagon Alley
The next morning when Harry woke up he was slightly disoriented and his back was a little sore from the differences between the bed and the cot he slept on for the last 9 years of his life. Harry concentrated on his healing ability and his back felt good as new. He quickly got up and got himself ready for the day. He would definitely need a new wardrobe. Dudley was a whale compared to him.
Petunia was in the kitchen making breakfast when Harry finally made it down. They ate in silence. When they were done eating Harry and Petunia got into the car and left for London. It was a quiet drive to London. Harry was centered most of the time. He was finding that he could now keep himself in the center most of the time when he was going about his day. It let him keep in control of his emotions much better. It got easier to maintain longer times the more he practiced.
When they reached Charring Cross Road Petunia pointed out the leaky cauldron where Harry got out. Harry made his way over to an alley beside the bar. He morphed himself to a six foot tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He couldn't morph the scar away but he could move it. He moved it to the heel of his foot. It was quite a good thing that when he shifted his clothes shifted to. He could see the energy field just encompassing his clothes when he shifted and had energy in his eyes.
Harry made his way into the leaky cauldron and back to the entrance to the alley. He didn't even bother stopping to look around inside the bar. He used energy in his eyes to see which bricks were needed for the combination. Harry channeled energy into a finger tip and touched the correct bricks. It was a good thing he was in the center because he probably wouldn't otherwise be able to keep from gawking at the street before him.
If there was any awe he was feeling it wasn't necessarily from the wonder and majesty of the magical world. It was the fact that the witches and wizards could be so freaking backwards. It looked like they were just out of the dark ages. Harry quickly strode down towards the big white building that Petunia told him was Gringotts. The only time his Aunt had actually came to the alley was Lily's first year.
Harry made his way inside the bank ignoring the goblins standing guard, it was a poor attempt at intimidation on Harry. He made his way up to the shortest line. When he was finally able to speak to the teller Harry said, "I would like to speak to an account manager please." Harry was getting some slightly strange looks after his statement. Harry had observed how the other wizards talked to the tellers. They seemed rather condescending and rude. It wasn't a good idea to act that way with those who handled your money.
"Griphook take this wizard to see an account manager," the teller told a goblin standing nearby. Griphook led Harry through a series of corridors to an office where Harry was introduced to Slasher. Harry shook the goblins hand and they both sat down. "My name is Harry Compton and I have a couple of questions about opening an account here at Gringotts," Harry told Slasher.
"What are your questions Mr. Compton?" "What are your discretionary policies in regards to your clients' transactions?" "Well if by that you mean if you're a fugitive from the ministry do we turn you in if you come into make a transaction or do we turn over your vaults if they order us to then the answer is no for either." "We take oaths to never disclose any of our client's information to anybody outside the bank without the clients express permission." "That also applies with all Gringotts employees."
"That answered my question Slasher and I'm sorry I deceived you on my reason for asking that question." Before the goblin could get angry for Harry's response Harry reverted back to his normal body. At the goblin's surprised expression Harry decided to explain quickly. "My real name is Harry Potter and I asked those questions because I want nobody to know I was here or that I can disguise myself like I just did."
"Of course Mr. Potter, I just was surprised because metamorphagi are quite rare." "I believe the only other declared metamorphagus right now is a Nymphadora Tonks," Slasher replied. Harry made a mental note to find information on metamorphagi and to keep a look out if he meet a Nymphadora Tonks. "My real reason for being here is to see if I have accounts here and if so to get access to them."
"You mean you don't know that you have accounts at our bank Mr. Potter?" At Slasher's incredulous tone Harry replied, "Slasher I didn't even know that magic was real until last night." Harry could tell that Slasher was growing more agitated by the second. "Which brings me to another point." "I would like to know why I was placed with my Aunt by Albus Dumbledore." "Could I please see a copy of my parent's will?" "Right away Mr. Potter," Slasher was quick to reply.
Slasher wrote a quick message on a piece of paper and set it in a tray marked outgoing where it promptly disappeared. "Now Mr. Potter if you will place 3 drops of blood on this parchment it will tell us which vaults you are entitled to." Harry did as directed and watched as words started appearing on the parchment.
Harry James Potter Vault 1 Merlin's Vault No monetary goods but many priceless artifacts Vault 2 Ravenclaw Vault 9,459,942 Galleons Ravenclaw Manor 1/4th Hogwarts Castle Vault 3 Hufflepuff Vault 8,347,245 Galleons Hufflepuff Manor 1/4th Hogwarts Castle Vault 4 Slytherin Vault 11,034,273 Galleons Slytherin Manor 1/4th Hogwarts Castle Vault 5 Gryffindor Vault 12,438,242 Galleons Gryffindor Manor 1/4th Hogwarts Castle Vault 28 Potter Vault 23,437,242 Galleons Potter Manor Godric's Hallow Potter Villa-France Marauder's Hideout-Colorado United States
Lily's Place- New York United States 57% ownership of the Daily Prophet 53% ownership of Nimbus Broom Company 25% coca cola
Harry was quite stunned by the end of the parchment. "Slasher what is the exchange rate between galleons and pounds?" "It is 5 pounds per 1 galleon." Harry had over 60 million galleons which was over 300 million pounds. "I do believe that you are the richest wizard in England," Slasher informed Harry.
By this time Harry's parents will had arrived. He quickly skimmed it over. They basically left everything to him and listed suitable guardians for him. The list included Sirius Black, Alice Longbottom, Minerva McGonagal, Filius Flitwick, and Amelia Bones. "Slasher why wasn't this will executed?" "Albus Dumbledore had the will sealed before it was read using his Wizenmagot authority and appointed himself your magical guardian." Harry was royally pissed after hearing that little bit of information. "The will could not be opened by anybody but him or you."
"Slasher is there anyway to remove Dumbledore as my magical guardian?" "Actually yes, there is an old pureblood law that allows an orphaned pureblood to be emancipated at the age of 8." "Good, is there also a way to conceal the fact that I'm emancipated until I decide to reveal it?" "Yes again, Dumbledore actually did all of the work for us." "He just didn't seal your parent's will he sealed all of your information." "The only people who can open them again are those who are approved to do so by the wizenmagot." "You could do it when you come of age in the wizenmagot's eyes but since your emancipated now you could do it now."
Harry signed the emancipation papers that Slasher handed him. "Here are your family rings Harry." "We are unable to locate the Slytherin ring because the last heir died and we don't know it's whereabouts." "The last heir was Tom Marvolo Riddle Jr. or as he later went by Voldemort." "We think he murdered his grandfather Marvolo Gaunt to get the ring but he was never able to claim his full inheritance or access to the vaults." "He wouldn't have been able to anyway because your mother was alive and she is from a senior line descended from Slytherin and Hufflepuff."
"Thank you for that information Slasher." Harry slid the 5 rings onto his finger and they combined into one ring. He felt a rush of power that he had not felt since his core was unblocked. "Here is a list of all of the transactions to your account since it came into your hands." "The list is self updating." "As you can see Dumbledore has been drawing 10,000 galleons a year." "Luckily he can only draw that amount as your Guardian and he can only draw it from your trust vault which is refilled at the beginning of every year." "I'm assuming
Dumbledore diverts my statements to himself." "Yes he does Harry but we can send him false reports of only what he knows about."
"Good do that and let him keep drawing that amount for now." "I'm building a case against him and it would not do to alert him that the game is up." "Those rings will be invisible unless you will them not to be and the one you want will appear when you will it." "They act as a portkey to your respective properties." Harry made a mental note to research portkeys later. "To active them you just think take me to and the name of the property."
"Slasher is there a way for me to get money out in both galleons and pounds without coming to the bank?" "Yes there is, we offer a gringotts debit card and a money pouch that transforms into a wallet when not in use." "They both offer a security feature where they can't be used by anybody except the person they are bonded too and anti theft features." "Simply place 3 drops of blood on each." Harry did as he was asked and placed the wallet with the card in it in his pocket.
"I would like to visit my vaults now please Slasher." "Of course Harry it was a pleasure to help you today." "Thank you Slasher." Harry followed Griphook out of the offices and through the bank to a track with what looked like a mine cart on it. At Griphook's direction to get into the cart and keep his appendages in the cart they were off. It was a pretty wild ride. They first arrived at Merlin's vault. Harry approached the door at Griphook's direction and placed his hand on the door. He felt an ancient presence scan his mind.
It must have found him worthy because the door began to swing open. When Harry opened the door it showed a room filled with artifacts. Along the wall there was a cabinet of what appeared to be staves. Harry walked close to them and felt his energy pull him to 2 of the staves in particular. He picked them up and read the label where they were at.
Apparently the first one was Merlin's primary stave and the second one was his secondary stave. The other staves were backups. The plaque also said they resized themselves between a wand and a stave at a mental command to shrink or enlarge. Harry shrunk both staves and saw a shelf beside the staves labeled wand holsters. Their plaques said they were charmed against summoning and disarming. They could be made invisible by thinking disappear and they would shoot the wand into the wearer's hand at the thought of wand 1 or wand 2 depending on which stave he wanted to use.
The rest of the vault was filled with artifacts that Harry had no idea the purpose of. He figured it was best to come back after he read up more on magic, after all this was supposed to be the most powerful wizard in history. Harry and Griphook next went to Ravenclaw's vault. He was again assessed by an ancient feeling presence. When this vault opened it too had artifacts, but also had books and more gold than Harry had ever dreamed of.
One of the first artifacts that Harry was drawn to was a pendant on a chain. It had a blue raven on the front. He read the plaque and it said that it was called Ravenclaw's pendant. It said that it
would allow the wearer to better defend against mental attacks and also to think faster and better in general. It would allow him to learn information at an even faster pace and higher level. It would keep pace with his retention rate. Harry decided to put the pendant on.
As soon as the pendant touched his skin it became invisible and Harry felt drawn to several more things in the vault. The next object was a trunk. It was called the Trunk of Knowledge. It had what Harry assumed was Ravenclaw's coat of arms on it. There was a manual lying on top of the trunk. The plaque instructed him to drop 3 drops of blood onto the front of the trunk so it would bind itself to him.
When that was done more words appeared on the plaque. The most prominent features of the trunk were resizing charms (like on his staves with the same commands), a notice me not charm (which Harry thought was pretty self explanatory and which his new pendant assured him he was right in his assumption by projecting a feeling), a sticking charm so only he could move it, and dozens of other security wards. It had an apartment built in with a master bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen with stasis charms on the cupboards, a study, a library that was supposed to hold an infinite number of books, a ritual chamber that was shielded from all external magic, a potion's laboratory, a training room, and a control room that allowed the expansion of more rooms.
The plaque said that if anything ever happened to the current owner the trunk would transport itself back to this vault. Harry picked up the trunk and shrunk it. He placed it into his pocket as he walked over to another object that drew his attention. This was the diary of Rowena Ravenclaw. It apparently was charmed to hold her entire life's story told from her perspective. Harry stored the book in his trunk and walked over to the bookshelves in the vault which contained hundreds of books.
He proceeded to pick out the ones his pendant told him to and placed them in his trunk library. Apparently they were all charmed to come back to the vault if something happened to the current owner. Rowena's specialty appeared to be Runes and Rituals. The runes apparently extended to wards and enchanting objects. Harry picked up books in all of these subjects from beginner to master's level. He would now be able to look up blood wards he thought to himself as he stored the books in his trunk library. He also picked up a book on occlumency and Legilimency which his pendant informed him were mind arts.
Harry next went to the Hufflepuff vault where he went through the same entrance procedure. In this vault Harry found Helga's diary and a bracelet that allowed the wearer to focus their natural healing ability. They could focus it inward or outward into others. Harry found books that were the Hogwart's curriculum for all 7 years. He put those in his trunk library along with books filled with Healing spells and potions from beginners to master level. Harry found a very interesting text on sex magic too. Harry learned that apparently when he morphed into years where he would be going through puberty his interest in girls spiked tremendously.
Unfortunately it didn't decrease when he morphed back to his younger self. It must have spiked an early puberty.
Next Harry arrived at Slytherin's vault. When he got in he was drawn to a dagger that was green with serpents etched into the handle. It was apparently imbued with the venom of a basilisk, a runespor, a chimera stinger, and several other deadly poisons. The plaque said it would kill within a minute of injection into the bloodstream. It would serve to identify him as the heir of Slytherin if he didn't have the ring. Luckily there were several unbreakable vials of the antidote, in case of stabbing the wrong person or he accidentally pricked himself, in a potions vial belt made out of basilisk skin beside the dagger that also had the sheath for the dagger. It was charmed against summoning and disarming.
Apparently Slytherin was renowned for Alchemy, Potions, and Dark Arts. Harry found a battle suit made of basilisk skin that said it could deflect several shots of something called the killing curse if the wearer channeled their magic into it. It was charmed to resize to whatever size the wearer was which Harry thought was useful for a metamorph. Harry stored it in his trunk and approached the bookshelves in the back of the vault. Harry found potions, alchemy, and dark arts for beginners to master level. He started putting them in his trunk along with Slytherin's journal.
The Dark Arts apparently included subjects such as necromancy, certain blood magics, soul magic, and darker rituals among other subjects. Harry also found books on something called parselmagic. He stored those in the trunk too.
After Harry was done in Slytherin's vault he next made his way to Gryffindor's vault. He found inside a broadsword with jewels in the pommel. The plaque called it the sword of Gryffindor. It apparently could be called to him when he needed it by thought. It was charmed against disarming and summoning by anybody but the true owner. It like the battle suit from Slytherin could deflect an indefinite amount of killing curses as long as magic was channeled into it. He could also cast spells through it. It apparently shifted shape to suit the personality and ability of the wielder. When he picked it up it shifted into the form of a katano.
Harry placed it into the scabbard belt which he placed on his side which promptly disappeared. Harry found books on Arithmancy, the Animagus training, wandless magic, and sword fighting and physical training. He put these in his trunk library along with Gryffindor's journal.
Next Harry made his stop at the last vault, the Potter family vault. It held many Potter family heirlooms. The most prominent was an invisibility cloak that had been in his family for generations. He stored this in his trunk along with his parent's journals.
Harry thanked Griphook for being so patient on the ride back up to the lobby of the bank. With his business concluded at Gringotts he made his way back out to Diagon Alley. Harry first made
his way to Flourish and Blotts bookstore. Harry proceeded to find any books that looked interesting but weren't in his library or that were newer versions.
He bought books on wizarding history, wizarding etiquette, wizarding law, healing, and anything that might have advanced since the founder's time. One book he thought in particular that would be interesting was Hogwarts A History, since he owned the place. Harry purchased a bottomless and weightless bag while at the bookstore too. He placed all of his books in there and made his way out of the store. He next made his way to Madam Malkins Robes For All Occasions. Here he purchased a wardrobe of robes in a multitude of colors. He got them with stain resistant charms, fire proof charms (up to a certain temperature), wear resistant charms, and resizing charms.
The next shop Harry visited on the alley was a wizarding optometrist. Here he was able to purchase contacts that he would never have to remove. They gave him night vision, x ray vision, the ability to see through spells and cloaks of invisibility, and the ability to zoom in on far away objects. They were quite expensive, but Harry didn't care with how much money he had and those advantages.
Harry made his way out of the alley and walked a ways until he located a nearby mall. He located a sporting goods store that sold exercising equipment. He bought a punching bag on a stand that had a speed bag attached. He bought a weight bench that he figured if he found the weights it was capable of holding too easy he could always charm heavier. He found a treadmill that he liked and purchased. He also purchased a pull-up bar and mount. Next Harry purchased fencing equipment and practice equipment along with everything necessary to learn archery.
The hardest part about such large purchases was convincing the store clerk that he had a truck coming to pick up the equipment out back. When the clerk placed the equipment out back in the alley and went back into the store Harry enlarged his trunk and levitated the equipment into the training room.
Harry made his way back into the mall and to a clothing store where he proceeded to purchase a completely new wardrobe using his normal body. Needless to say the female clerk was all too happy to help him pick it out when an adorable nine year old asked for help. He paid cash and tipped well too. He would have to come back later to get adult accessories after he figured out how to charm these clothes to change sizes.
After leaving the mall Harry reverted to his older looking form and found a grocery store where he proceeded to stock his kitchen with all of the most delicious foods he could think of. Harry then teleported himself home to his room.
