Hadrian does his school shopping.
Once he was outside of the back, he looked around at all the shops and then looked down at his rather long list.
Hadrian walked down the stairs and decided to get his clothing first, he knew the process would take longer this time around, heading down the Alley he walked towards Madam Malkins. Walking in he looked around at all the premade clothing.
“Hogwarts dear?” Madam Malkin asked from behind a desk.
“Yes ma’am, I was also looking at getting a new wardrobe also.”
“Of course, come hop up onto the pedestal and we’ll get you measured up,” she said smiling. Once she had measured him, she gave the list to her assistant who took it out the back to start on his school uniform. “Now that we know your sizing, what kind of clothing were you looking at getting?” she asked
“I want some nice dress shirts, as well as pants, I was wanting socks and underwear as well. I want some comfy clothing, soft pants and sweaters. Colour-wise, I was wanting dark greens and blues, blacks, a nice dark purple dress shirt and a couple of white shirts. As for pants, I would like them all to be black, I was wanting five pairs of dress pants as for shirts I would like two of each colour, sweaters I would like two in grey, black, navy blue, midnight blue and pastel blue, as well as emerald green. As for the comfy soft pants, I would like four pairs in grey and black. As for the cloaks I would like five in midnight blue, black and navy blue. Underwear can just be in black socks also. Will this be a problem?”
“No of course not, would you like any charms?” she asked.
“If it is no problem, Madam, would you be able to charm them to resize as I grow? As well as a water repellent on the cloaks?”
“Of course, anything else dear?”
“No thank you, how long do you think it might take for my order?”
“At least until two o'clock, three at the latest.”
“Okay thank you, Madam Malkin, I’ll pop by around half two.” Hadrian smiled, walking out and looking around. He needed a trunk and probably a bag, so he quickly walked over to trunks and bags for all occasions and had a look around.
“Hogwarts?”
“Yes sir, I was wondering what you might recommend?”
“Well lad, because you are a first-year you won’t know how the dorms are set out, I know it is different for every house but the setup is the same, every year shares a dorm room which normally has five four-poster beds, a side table, a wardrobe and a desk for writing. Now in the middle of the dorm is a fireplace for the colder months. I know in Slytherin the house of ambition and cunning once you reach seventh year you get a room to yourself, I believe Ravenclaw is from fifth year up due to exams. They can go a little crazy."
“Now back to the trunks, we have the basic one compartment trunk, normally students but this one, it is twice as big on the inside and has a sticking charm to stop your things from flying around. Then we have one that has three compartments, where all the compartments are twice as big on the inside. Students that are better off sometimes buy one of these so they can have their clothes, potions, ingredients and school things in different compartments."
"These are usually the ones students buy. We have two other models; one with five compartments and another with seven. These models are much more expensive than the others. The one with five compartments has three basic compartments like the trunk with three compartments. Then it has the fourth compartment, which has the option to be a library or a potions lab and then it has a fifth compartment which is an apartment; it has a living/dining room, a kitchen, a bedroom, an office and a bathroom.
"The one with seven compartments is identical to the one with five but it has the library and the potions lab, along with a second apartment.”
Hadrian was very interested in the five-compartment trunk. “May I see a five compartment trunk?”
“Of course lad, this one over here is one of our five compartment trunks”
As far as Hadrian could see, the trunk was rather plain and looked like every other trunk in the store.
“I can alter the exterior to your liking, of course, this is just the base to all trunks. You see this clasp here if you tap it with your wand it opens, but underneath there is a button that disguises the trunk if you get searched by muggles so that when you open the trunk it looks normal and shows what you place inside. Now when this clasp opens it will show five gems, an Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Opal and a Black Diamond. When you press a certain gem it will open the specific compartment. Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby open the three compartments that are for everyday use, Opal” the man pushed the opal “Opens on this trunk the Library compartment. Let me tell you about this compartment and I’ll show you the apartment. These shelves you see now aren’t the only shelves available. When you fill these they move to the bottom to make room for more, they can hold up to three thousand books but the bookcase within the apartment can hold up to two thousand and is connected to this compartment along with the bookshelves within the study which can hold up to five thousand books. All together that is a lot of book space, ten thousand books. Two smaller bookshelves in the bedroom hold up to five hundred each. The cool thing about it is you see this parchment here, it calls any book you need, if you write the author's name it would get you all books by the author, if you wanted for example books on transfiguration you would write it on the parchment and all books on the topic would come. What do you think?”
“I think it's incredible I would love to see the apartment and if I like it I would like to buy the trunk”
“Of course lad but just know these trunks aren’t cheap and I’m happy to show you either way but can you afford one?”
“Sir, I guarantee I can afford one,” Hadrian said smiling.
“Alright follow me” The man pushed the Black gem and opened the lid to a staircase, following the man down the lid closed and little lights began to shine all the way down. Once at the bottom Hadrian looked around. It was bigger than he’d expected, there was a simple kitchen with what looked like a fridge and a stovetop oven. It even had a two-seater breakfast bar. The dining/living room was spacious with a very large fire and the bookshelves were beautiful. “Everything in here that is white can be changed, anything else you need to know the spell for it.” said the man, “This is the bathroom,” he opened the door for Hadrian. It was huge, it had a rain shower and a deep tub that had multiple taps like the perfect bath at Hogwarts. “This one here is the office,” said the man opening the door for Hadrian to look around. There was another fireplace albeit smaller with a large desk and small seating area in front of the desk and fire and the shelves in this room were huge. There was a single door leading to Hadrian assumed it was the bedroom. The man then showed him his room which was larger than he’d expected, it had a large four-poster bed with two small dressers and the bookshelves on one wall where he was right the door to the study was but there was another door within the room Hadrian walked over. “Ah yes that is the wardrobe, it is like the book's clothing can be summoned into the top compartment but I’d suggest using your closet at Hogwarts so you don’t have to keep summoning from your trunk for clothing. So what do you think?”
“I love it. I will take one we can discuss design outside as well as I’ll look through the catalogue as I’m assuming this is just the display model?”
“If you like this one specifically then I don’t mind but they all look the same.”
“Okay, I’ll look through and decide what appliances I’ll be needing,” Hadrian said as he walked up the stairs. Once they reached the top the lid opened automatically, once back in the store Hadrian grabbed a catalogue and searched through it, he circled a few appliances like an icebox and a fire stove and oven, and there was a section for furniture like couches and chairs, tables and beds. Hadrian choose the store option as he didn't care about what kind of bed he had as he would be spending most of his time at Hogwarts if the bed was horrible he could always buy a new one, anything would be better than the cot he currently slept on. He handed back the catalogue and watched the man go through it.
“How much am I looking at paying for it?”
“Ah well I can do you a deal I can do about 200 galleons,” said the man smiling
“Can I pay with my Gringotts card?”
“Of course, I’ll have this finished in about fifteen minutes you are welcome to wait and look around the store”
“Thank you, Sir.” Hadrian decided he would look at the bags
“What kinds of design would you like on the outside?” called the man as Hadrian walked back to the counter with a green shoulder bag with a swirling silver design.
“I would love it to look like this green with the pattern and silver handles.”
“Of course,” said the man tapping his wand, “Now I forgot to mention how you can change the colours on the inside you just hold your wand against the object or wall and think of the colour you’re wanting, also if tap your wand here it will shink the trunk into a matchbox and if you would please place your hand on the lid it will take your magical signature so it will only respond to you.” Hadrian did as the man asked and the trunk grew warm then cooled, “you’re all done, would you like your initials on the trunk too?”
“Yes please, H.J.P”
“All done now for payment if you wouldn’t mind tapping your card just here and then signing it for me” Hadrian did as asked smiling.
“Thank you for all your help today. I would really appreciate you keeping my shopping trip quiet.”
“Of course, Mr Potter, have a good afternoon.”
Hadrian walked out and looked around before looking at his list. He should definitely do his wand first that way he would be able to shrink his trunk, Hadrian began to walk around when he thought he might look down one of the little side alleys when he came across a wand shop. Hadrian looked at the sign and walked in.
“Be with you in just a second.”
“Take your time,” said Hadrian looking around the place, there were all sorts from crystal balls to long sticks and in the display cases, there were wands as well as what he would guess were cores.
“Wow, I never thought I would live to see the day a student walks into my store, and a powerful student you will be.” said the woman in a mystical voice.
“I never knew this place existed it's beautiful”
“Thank you, Lord Potter, touched by death you are, I can see his magic running through your veins alongside. Oh my, you’re a high fae” She said bowing as her glamour dropped from her ears, which were pointed like his. “Good thing you came to me and not Olivander, he would have told the world what you are.”
“What is it you think I am?”
“I know that you’re deaths child, but also the last heir to the shadow court, the only one to be truly worthy of the title. My name is Lilith” She smiled. “Now I don’t think your normal everyday wand will do, what you need my lord is a staff, and I cannot wait to get started. Which is your dominant hand?” she asked as Hadrian held out his right hand. She smiled and began to measure “Relax your arm down to your side please” as she measured the length from his hand to the ground. “Alright little lord, if you wouldn’t mind coming over to my workbench and just running your hand over these rods of wood until you feel a warm tingling.” Hadrian did as he was told he felt a few tugs but it wasn’t until he got to the final piece which by the looks was pitch black wood.
“Ah a nice choice, Ebony Ebony is happiest in the hands of those with the courage to be themselves. Now if you would be so kind as to do the same with these.” She showed him a large collection of crystals. Doing as Lilith asked and ran his hand over them until he felt a major rush coming from a large round piece of rainbow moonstone. “Ah, rainbow moonstone Moonstone has long been the stone of love, fertility, intuition, magic, protection, hope, and spiritual purity. Moonstone calms and encourages us as it teaches us the natural rhythms of life, and opens the heart to empathy too. An interesting combination I am sure you will be needing a few cores but we will see. Now for the fun part, I need you to take any that feels strong whether it be hot or cold as long as it feels powerful, pick it up and place it to the side” she said showing him to the next table full of what he guessed were wand cores. Running his hands along them slowly looking for the rush when suddenly it hit him hot and pulsing with magic and he instantly grabbed it, placing it to the side, then went back to searching. It took some time before he felt a freezing rush of air up his arm and instantly he felt complete, again placing it to the side he ran his hand along the cores until the end and that's where he felt it burning like venom hot and fiery. Looking back at Lilith he smiled
“I think I’m done, that was a rush and enjoyable too, can you tell me what I have chosen?”
“Of course, the first is a dark phoenix feather, the second is thestral hair and the last is basilisk venom, like I said my dear you are going to be interesting.”
“What happens next?”
“Now is where I would like to collect some of your blood if you would be so kind, it will make it so it will only connect with you, also it is shrinkable to look like a normal wand as well for in class, it will just focus your magic more than any other wand would.”
“Okay as long as any leftover blood is disposed of correctly”
“Of course,” She said with a small smile before going and getting a ritual knife, “five drops into this vial please,” she said, handing both to Hadrian, who did so quickly and healing his hand, passing the items back to Lilith.
“How long will the process take?” he asked, watching her.
“Not long, about an hour, if you want to come back you can.”
“Would it be okay if I left the trunk here for now?”
“Of course that's fine, I will see you in an hour” Hadrian smiled at her nodding once before leaving the store, he decided to get his books whilst he was waiting. Walking down to flourish and blotts walking in he grabbed a basket and grabbed the normal first years bundle and then walked around the store grabbing extra books and anything that caught his eye, from potions texts to runes for beginners he found books on creatures and magical inheritances as well as laws. Looking around some more he saw a bunch of children's books about himself which was strange but he decided to look into it some more, once he had paid he checked the time and decided to go look at stationary next as he still had fifteen minutes before he needed to be back for his staff. Hadrian grabbed the usual rolls of parchment, ink, quills, fountain pens and the most beautiful diary he has ever seen and because he could he decided to buy it too. Finally finished, he went back to Lilith's store.
“Ah Lord of Death I have just completed your staff, I must say it was a pleasure to create something so beautiful.” She took it from the counter walking over to Hadrian, “I hope you like it” she said, handing it to him. As soon as he took it he felt a rush of magic just vibrating around him. It was beautiful, the staff itself and the feeling it gave him when he held it.
“Thank you, Lilith, it is beautiful, I love it, how do I shrink it to wand size?” Hadrian instantly felt a rush of magic then in his hand was the staff just smaller.
“It is connected to you, it will pick up on what you are wanting it to do, spells you will learn to do wordlessly when using it in staff form, in this form you can speak your spells” she explained to him smiling.
“Thank you truly, how much do I owe you?”
“Because I enjoyed creating this so much, 30 galleons.” Hadrian took his card and paid, thanking her once more he placed his purchases into his trunk, tapped it with the wand-sized staff and placed it in his pocket and then asked for the staff to be normal size to use it as a walking stick. Walking out of the store Hadrian looked around deciding where to go next, he still needed to get his potion ingredients and equipment.
Walking to the apothecary he picked up a first-year kit cauldron and vials then he decided to visit the magical menagerie he knew he wanted Hedwig back but he was curious to know what other pets they had. Walking inside he went to the counter.
“Hello, how can I help you today?”
“Hi, I am interested in getting an owl and would really like the snowy white one just there and I was wondering if you sell snakes?”
“She is a temperamental one but I can grab her for you, as for the snakes we do just through that door over there, I’ll grab the owl for you, are you needing a setup?”
“Yes I do, thank you.” Hadrian then walked over to where the shop assistant said, walking through the door he saw hundreds of enclosures, some big, some small. From all of them, he could hear hissing and the occasional word.
“The magical ones are over here,” said a shop assistant with the name tag Sam.
“Oh thank you, they're all beautiful,'' he said as he looked into the enclosures. Whilst he was looking his eyes instantly fell on a beautiful black snake with what seemed like a shimmering rainbow throughout its scales.
“Hello beautiful” he whispered.
“You’re a sspeaker?”
“Yesss, what is your name?”
“I wasn’t given one, I was hatched here without my mother.” Hadrian looked back at the shop assistant.
“I’ll take this one, and a full setup, I’m going to take you home little one, would you like that?”
“Yess, please.” Hadrian smiled at the snake before reaching in to grab her.
“ I shall call you Astra.” He smiled at the snake as she wrapped herself around his wrist. Walking to the register Hadian looked around some more and brought some owl treats and rodents for Astra. Once Hadrian had finished with his shopping he checked the time and decided to try his luck and see if his clothes were ready to be collected. Walking into Madam Malkins Hadrian smiled at the women.
“Ah I had just finished up I hope these are to your liking.” Said the woman.
Thank you, Madam, I definitely will be back again soon.” Said Hadrian before taking his items and leaving. Hadrian then placed his bag within his trunk and shrunk it down and looked at his finally complete list and decided he would go shopping in muggle London.
Hadrian decided to do some shopping walking along the streets of London Hadrian found a large shopping mall and walked into one of the many clothing store options and grabbed a trolley. Hadrian walked down the shirt aisle and grabbed t-shirts in black, blue, green and white, as well as some long sleeve shirts too, he also grabbed multiple hoodies and sweaters in similar colours as well as a jumper with the softest material he had ever felt on the inside. Hadrian then went and found the paint aisle and grabbed three pairs of skinny jeans, as well as some nicer jeans. Hadrian then went and brought new underwear in black, green, and blue. Hadrian then found some pyjamas and so he brought winter and summer sets. Once he was done he paid smiling at the shop assistant and went in search of a bathroom so he could place his purchases into his trunk. Once he was done he decided to walk around the mall, he found some interesting stores before he came across a large stationary store. Walking in he looked around and saw some beautiful fountain pens so he grabbed multiple as well as cartridges to refill in red, black and blue. He grabbed multiple writing books and grabbed some pencils both watercolour and classic and so he grabbed a couple of large sketch pads and some pencils to draw with. Happy with his selection he paid and decided to head home.
Walking in the front door he was instantly set upon and with a quick slap to the face without realising his magic lashed out and froze everyone in the place. Vernon was purple in the face, as usual, his aunt with an ugly scowl on her face and Dudley in the doorway. Hadrian looked at his aunt as he wandlessly and nonverbally healed the small cut that Petunia had made on his cheek. Looking to his aunt who looked horrified and said “If you or anyone else in this house raises a hand to hit me again will find they no longer have hands, I will be taking Dudley's second bedroom until the end of August, until then I will no longer be used as your maid, I will be fed three meals a day every day until I leave for Hogwarts as well as being able to come and go as I please, do I make myself clear?” He asked unfreezing her. She nodded trembling. “I also over the next year will be finding a new place to live, I hope not to return at the end of the school year but we will see.” Hadrian then walked up the stairs opening the door to Dudley's second bedroom before he unfroze the rest of the household. Looking around the room Hadrian pulled out his shrunken wand and vanished everything in the room but the bed, the broken dresser and the small desk. He then fixed the dresser and transfigured the bed into something better along with clean sheets and blankets. Once he was done he turned to his trunk unshrinking it and pulled out his new belongings and began to sort through everything. Hadrian started with his books, he opened the library compartment of his trunk and began to sort them by subject.
