Clinging tightly to Lucius as the man carried him, Harry's head was all but swiveling completely around in an effort to see everything around him. This was his first trip to Diagon Alley and he was amazed! Their Hogwarts letters had come earlier in the day, so they were off to get what was needed. Though he wouldn't be attending school with Draco, he still had things to get, like his wand. That was something he was looking forward to! However, there was so much here, so many strange things, that the whole trip was exciting and he wanted to see more, take in everything today then come back another time when he felt better so he could explore all he might miss this time.

Looking at the young man he was holding, Lucius couldn't help but smirk. Harry, at times, when it came to his excitement about their world, could be rather infectious. Most of them that grew up in this world took everything for granted because they always saw it. He sometimes forgot how amazing it could be to those that weren't that fortunate. And the excitement that came from it would bleed out to those around them. That's what it was like for Harry. Draco, though tending to have disdain for those that didn't grow up in their world, had been as excited about this trip as Harry so he could show his new best friend all the amazing things in the alley.

Shifting Harry around slightly, Lucius quickly checked on him. The cancer was stopped. They had managed that. Now the real fight was happening; beating the disease back. Though they were managing to keep him relatively free of pain, or minimizing it to the point Harry wasn't bothered by it, there were issues with the powerful potions they were giving him. The fevers were still an issue, as were several other things at this point, like severe rashes that, in and of themselves, were big problems. Though excited today, the young man wasn't feeling the best. That part was just lost in the excitement. However, he needed to keep an eye out for troublesome signs. So far, all was fine on that front.

Giving Harry a pat on the back, he asked, “What do you say the two of us go get some ice cream while we wait for Narcissa and Draco, hm? They will be a while I think. You know how Severus is about potions ingredients. They will have to make sure what they get is up to his standards.” Right now the two were in the apothecary and Harry couldn't go in. No, with some of what floated around in the air, it could interact with some of what he had to take so he had to stay away. Though disappointed, wanting to see it, Harry understood. Softly, he added, “I think, if you wish, we can get you something with hot fudge on it. I don't think it'll hurt you and Narcissa won't mind a small treat.”

Grinning, Harry nodded, “Alright!” His stomach was still really touchy most times. Some of the potions he took made that worse at times so chocolate anything bothered it. Hot fudge, though, was something he adored.

“Then let's go indulge. We can sit and talk. Like how you and Draco are going to spoil that new owl of yours.”

Laughing, Harry gave him a squeeze. This was great! Their first stop had been at the pet store where they got to pick out an owl to use for Draco. She had been a beautiful snowy owl that took to both of them. Already they had named her Hedwig and she was at home waiting for them. Though the Malfoy's had many owls they could use, Narcissa and Lucius decided the two of them needed one they alone could use to send letters, something they planned to send every day.

Smirking at the young man, Lucius couldn't help but be amazed once more how amiable and easy to please Harry was. With all the young man had gone through, he wasn't sure what to expect when it came to him, but his personality was one of someone so easy to get along with. He supposed that was due to the fact that Harry was just happy to be alive and relatively comfortable. He assumed that was just another of those things that so many of them took for granted since it was normal then concerned themselves with other aspects of life. Making small talk as he cut through the school shopping crowds, ignoring the strange looks tossed their way, he said, “This is where Narcissa gets your ice cream. You'll finally get to visit. Besides, Florean will probably be most pleased to finally meet the young man that is giving him so much business recently.”

“He has good ice cream!” Harry told him.

“That he does, Harry, that he does. It's the best,” Lucius conceded, shooting a warning look at a few people that seemed to be staring too hard at them. “Besides, we can sit for a while and just relax before we move onto the important things, like getting your wand.”

“I can't wait for that,” Harry told him with some enthusiasm.

“Oh, I know. Nor can Draco. It's one of those defining moments in one's life you never truly forget,” Lucius told him, smirking as he remembered what it felt like to really fully connect to your magic for the first time. There was nothing in the world like it.

Sitting at the table, Lucius was smirking as Harry was all but devouring the hot fudge sundae he had. It was amusing to watch. After taking a bite of his own, he leaned back, putting a hand on the young man's shoulder, rubbing it softly. He was about to start talking to him again when he glanced up to see Madam Bones approaching. Straightening up, he told Harry, “It appears that we have company coming to join us.”

Looking up, Harry grinned with he saw Madam Bones and waved to her. By now she'd visited a couple times to check on him and he liked her. She was a little stiff, but very nice. Besides, she seemed to only be trying to look out for him. That he liked as well.

Smiling at the young man, Amelia slid into a chair across from the two and set a folder down in front of her on the table. Clasping her hands, she asked, “Enjoying your ice cream, Harry?”

Nodding, grinning, he said, “It's hot fudge!”

She was pleased to see he more color to his cheeks than he had during her last visit. Though there were some dark circles under his eyes, something that was telling he probably wasn't feeling the best, he looked so much better than the first time she had seen him. “Narcissa and Draco are busy buying out a couple stores, are they?” She asked, tone joking.

Giving a snort of amusement, Lucius explained what they were doing and why Harry wasn't with them.

Understanding, Amelia nodded. Looking at Harry, she smiled a little then said, leaning back, placing both palms on the folder in front of her, “I think I have something here that you're going to like, Harry.”

Looking at her then glancing at the folder, Harry asked, curious, “What's that?”

Appearing pleased with herself, Amelia looked at Harry then smirked slightly before saying, “I did a little conference with the Board of Governors for Hogwarts without Lucius knowing. I explained the problem you're having and how you want to go this year. We all know you can't attend as sick as you are. However, they've agreed to let you officially enroll then go through things like the sorting ceremony, attend Quidditch matches, feasts and such if Lucius and Narcissa will agree to follow their curriculum, other than areas they have to change because of your illness, like potions.” Glancing at Lucius, she told him, “I didn't think you would object, as this is what you and Narcissa have planned anyway. Concessions, of course, are allowed in certain areas. They do ask that one professor a week show up to check on his progress. Again, they will make concessions for his illness and realize that he can't always keep up. This will allow them to help with troublesome areas and gauge what may need work. Does this work for you?”

Seeing the excited look on Harry's face, Lucius smirked and nodded. “If you'll allow me to check the provisions on it and I find no issue, I'll readily accept.”

“Of course,” she told him with a nod of her head, pushing the folder over to him.

Grinning from ear to ear, his sundae all but forgotten, Harry looked at Lucius and waited to see what he said.

Reading through what was there, Lucius started nodding. As nothing was intrusive, just a short tutoring session a week with one of the professors while following what they planned to anyway, Lucius conjured a quill then signed the parchment before sliding it back. Smirking at her, pleased with what she managed, he looked down at Harry then said, “It looks as though we're going to have to get your school robes after all because you'll need them for the opening feast and other things.” Putting a hand on the back of Harry's head, he rubbed it, seeing the grin there. Lifting his eyes, he looked at the smiling Amelia and nodded to her. This wasn't something that he would have thought of trying, but he was glad she did. Looking down at Harry, he said, “Draco is going to be most pleased with this. I don't think you'll be able to ride the train with him, but we'll get you there and you can meet him. How does that sound?”

Unable to stop grinning, Harry said, “Brilliant! I get to go! I can't wait to tell Draco!”

“He will be most excited,” Lucius told him, glancing up to see Narcissa and his son approaching. Seeing a concerned look on his wife's face at who was sitting with them, he just smirked.

Taking a seat, Narcissa looked at her husband, concerned, then said a pleasant hello to Madam Bones.

Smirking, Lucius said, smoothly, “We need to take Harry to get robes with Draco.”

Eyebrow arching, Narcissa asked, “Oh? I didn't think he would need them. Not that I mind--” Trailing off, she waited to see what was going on.

“Harry is going to be allowed to be officially enrolled though he can't attend.” Quickly, he explained what Madam Bones had managed.

Smirking herself, Narcissa nodded, pleased. Looking at the two boys, both of whom were grinning from ear to ear, she said, “We'll get Harry's robes when we do Draco's. Oh yes, this is wonderful!”

Trying not to bounce in his chair from the excitement, Draco told Harry, “This is great! You get to come with me to the first night! And get sorted!”

“I know!” Harry beamed.

Smiling herself, nodding, Amelia told Lucius and Narcissa, “Get with Minerva to let her know you'll bring him to the school another way. She's aware that he has serious health issues and will make allowances. Also, that both of you will probably be going with him that night in case of a problem. Beyond that, I'll leave the arrangements to the two of you. Now, I'll take my leave. I was going to pop over tomorrow with the paperwork, but I saw you so I thought this would be better.” Giving Draco a pat on the head then reaching over to rub Harry's she excused herself then left, walking away with a smile on her face.

Looking pleased, nodding, Narcissa said, “Well, that was a pleasant surprise, wasn't it? I can't say I'm displeased with it either. The tutoring alone will be a huge assist in some areas. It'll be most helpful.” Looking at the two boys who seemed to be conspiring to figure out a way to get Harry sorted into Slytherin, she just shook her head, though still smiling. Looking at her husband, she could see that he, too, was pleased with this. “Well,” she finally said, “let's get myself and Draco a sundae then move on to robes. After that, it's wands then we should be done.”

Hearing wands, both boy's heads came up and they grinned, looking at each other. Oh, neither could wait for that!

Sitting in Ollivanders, Harry was waiting, though not patiently, for the man to finish with Draco. So far it had been interesting, that's for sure! Things had gotten blown around, tossed about and broken. He didn't know finding the right wand could be destructive!

After what seemed like forever, Draco was clutching his new wand, looking pleased. Turning to Harry, he grinned. Grinning back, Harry nodded, waiting for his turn.

Conjuring a stool at the counter for Harry to sit on, Lucius motioned him over. Excited, Harry all but bounced that direction then sat down. He couldn't wait for this.

Smiling at the young man, Ollivander glanced at his scar, curious as to why the boy was with the Malfoy's, but said nothing, setting the tape measure to work. While doing that, he began to pull boxes of wands out, setting them on the counter.

Eyeing all the boxes while the tape measure worked, Harry could help but shifting around, too excited to sit still.

Smiling at the excited young man, Ollivander stopped the measuring then began to hand wands to the young man for him to test.

Unable to help himself, Harry grinned as he tested them, though they weren't suited for him at all, causing several bad reactions.

Nodding as the young man went through the first stack, he said, “Well, you're going to be a tricky one, aren't you? Not to worry, we'll find something for you, Mr. Potter!” Putting the ones they tried off to the side, he went back for more.

Hand on Harry's shoulder, Lucius gave a squeeze then said, softly, “Don't worry, it takes time.”

Looking at Lucius, Harry nodded, unable to stop grinning. Honestly? He figured they would find one, it would just take time was all. As he hadn't ever seen something like this or tried it, he didn't care!

After a half an hour, Harry was actually starting to get worried they wouldn't find anything. He was certain he had been through at least a hundred wands by now and nothing was even close to working. Giving Lucius a worried look as the wandmaker was back trying to find some more, he waited to see what he said.

“Nothing to worry about,” Lucius soothed, hand on his shoulder. “It takes time. If he can't find one suited, he'll make you one. Either way, you'll get your wand, Harry.”

“Oh yes, we'll get you one!” Ollivander said, coming back out with a few more boxes. “Never fear, I always provide a wand, one way or another.” Setting a few more boxes on the counter, he started opening them, handing over one of the wands.

Gloomily, Harry gave it a wave and, like before, not a good reaction, sending a lamp crashing into the wall.

Taking it back, Ollivander stopped and looked at the boy. “I wonder--” he said, thoughtfully, tapping his fingers on the counter. “We've tried most single wands that might be suited for him. Let me try something different.” Scuttling off, he muttered to himself then began to look on the very back shelves.

Watching, wondering what he was doing, Harry sat there, trying to be patient.

Coming back out, Ollivander sat a larger box on the counter. Opening it, he pulled one of three wands out of it and handed it over to the young man. “Let's see if that works, shall we?” He asked, smiling.

Grabbing it, Harry's eyes widened as he felt it connect, really connect with something deep inside him. Something that felt so good flowed through him and he tingled all over. Giving it a wave, he grinned when green and silver sparks shot out the end of it unlike the destruction that had come from the other ones. Grinning big, appearing pleased, he looked at Lucius. “Brilliant!” He muttered softly.

Smiling, Ollivander nodded, “I told you we would find you one, Mr. Potter. Thirteen inches, slightly springy, core of runespoor venom and thestral hair. Very good for defense and spells. One of triplets.”

Looking at the box it had come in, Harry could see two more wands in it that looked the same. “Are they the same kind? Meaning I get a spare?”

“Yes, they are exactly the same as yours,” Ollivander told him, shutting the box, and pushing it towards the young man. “However, they aren't spares. You will know who they want you to give them to because they will tell you. The three are bound together in a very special way. Though they work fine on their own, when the three work together, amazing things can happen. You will know, Mr. Potter.” Stopping, he looked at the boy then nodded, before saying, quietly, “I think you already do, though, don't you? You know who they belong to because they are already telling you.”

Looking at the man, Harry then looked at the wand, feeling how it connected with him then nodded slowly, saying nothing.

Smiling while he nodded, Ollivander said, “I thought as much. It will help you do great things, Mr. Potter.” Looking at Lucius, he said, “Now, let's settle up so you can get your young men home.”

Though curious about the wands, Lucius nodded then began to ask about the price.

Sliding off the stool, still holding his wand out, examining it, he walked over and sat by Draco, grinning, “We have our wands!”

“We do!” Draco told him, looking smug. Lowering his voice, he said, “Now we just have to figure out how to make sure you get into Slytherin! I think we need to talk to Severus when we get home and see what he knows. There has to be a way!”

Watching the two boys, though she knew they weren't going to cause trouble, Narcissa couldn't help but smile at what she was hearing. Let them plot, it was something traditional. While doing that, she felt her eyes burn slightly. Her son, and the child she was viewing more that way with each day that passed, were taking a big step in life, one that proved they were growing up. Oh, it was expected and something she wanted, she knew that, but it was hard to see. It didn't seem like it was that long ago that Draco had been born. Now, well, he would be off to Hogwarts in the fall, on his way to being an adult. That was hard. After all, he would always be her baby.

Sitting in Harry's room after coming back, so the young man could rest since the trip had taken a lot out of him, Tom was examining both his and Draco's wands, nodding approvingly. Draco had a smirking, completely amused Severus cornered while trying to figure out a way to get Harry sorted into Slytherin. This, too, was something all of them expected.

Handing Harry back his wand and setting Draco's aside, Tom nodded, smiling, “You have your wand, good. And you get to be sorted, even better!” Seeing the young man grin, he asked about what Ollivander said, “Do you know who the other two belong to? You said you did. How do you know?”

Looking at the box that was resting in his blanket covered lap, Harry nodded slowly. “I know. Really, I don't know how I do, I just—well, I just do. It's like he said, they seemed to tell me in some way.” Shrugging, he told him, “I don’t understand it.”

“Magic can sometimes be hard to understand and does confusing things. We just take that into account and work with it from there,” Narcissa told the young man gently. Seated on the edge of Harry's bed, she reached out and patted his arm gently. “Now, don't keep us in suspense. Who do the wands go to? We can’t wait to see!”

Nodding, Harry looked up and said, softly, “Tom and Lucius. That's what they—well, they told me.”

Actually, Tom wasn't at all shocked by that. With the bond that was there already, it made sense. Nodding, looking at Lucius, who didn't appear stunned either, he said, gently, “Alright, give me the one you think fits me. Just let it tell you which one and I'll try it out.”

Happy that no one laughed at him or made jokes, Harry opened the box and put his hand over it. Straight away, he could tell which one needed to go to Tom. Picking it up, he handed it over and waited.

Taking the wand after having set his aside, Tom felt the magic immediately. It coursed through him and the wand seemed to come alive in his hand. Giving it a wave, he saw the green and silver sparks come out the end. Smiling, he nodded. All along, his phoenix feather wand was a perfect match, but this one—it felt even better. Looking at Harry, he said, “Perfect fit! Now, give Lucius his.”

Pleased, Harry grinned and handed the other to Lucius.

As had happened with Tom, the wand was a perfect fit. Looking at it, smirking, Lucius said, “I shall have to have my cane reworked to make it fit, but, yes, this is good.” Looking at the young man on the bed, he nodded. This was most interesting, something he never anticipated, but it was right. He would go from there.

Moving over and sitting by the young man on the bed, Tom put a hand on his leg then patted it. Watching Draco talking to the highly amused Severus, he grinned slightly then said, keeping his voice down, “Somehow I don't think it's going to take any begging of the Sorting Hat to get you into Slytherin, Harry. The sparks—I think those are pretty indicative of where you might be going. Besides, since Lucius and I have the brother wands and we were in that house, I think you're a shoo-in.”

Looking hopeful, Harry grinned. “I hope so! I have to be with Draco, you know.”

Smiling, eyes twinkling, Narcissa said, “Oh yes, so you two can run Severus ragged with your mischief.” Eyeing the stuffed dragon, she added, glancing over at her lover with a smug look on her face, “We'll also have to make sure you take Smaug with you to help keep an eye on you both.”

Having heard that, Severus glowered at her but smirked slightly, amused by it.

Settling back slightly, getting relaxed, Harry rubbed his eyes. Oh, this had been a great day, but he was now tired, though he really had something to look forward to and things to plan with Draco. First, though, he needed a nap. After that, he and Draco had to talk.

Listening to those that were talking around him, he shut his eyes and started to doze. Just for a while, he promised himself, then they would start.
