Diagon alley
Harry groaned when the alarm clock went off. He didn´t know how long he had slept but he felt still very tired. Ron and Hermione were asleep when he came back to the common room, so he made his way to his dormitory and went straight to bed. He sat up in his bed and took on his glasses.
´That´s another thing I have to take care of today.´ He noted to himself. A few weeks ago, he decided he would acquire contact lenses so when in battle he could see should he loose is glasses. He got up and went over to Ron´s bed. Quiet he woke his friend, and they went into the bathroom. Both stepping into one of the showers and got ready for the day. They came into the common room were Hermione already waited for them.
“What do you think Mione? Should we go to the kitchens or eat in Diagon alley?” Ron asked her.
“I think we should head for the gates. Professor Snape will be there soon. The sun is almost up.” They agreed and climbed through the portrait hole. Harry was glad it was Saturday. It was still early, and he was relieved when they reached the gates to Hogsmeade.
“You´re on time for ones. That I live to see that…” He smirked at them.
“Good morning Professor.” They greeted.
“I brought my cloak. You can´t be seen with us.” Harry said.
“That is alright Potter. I will use a glamour. Actually, I think we all should use one just in case a member from the order is around. Dumbledore would be furious if he were to find out and we don’t have the trunk yet so you can´t hide.” So, all of them did a glamour spell before they apparated away.
They landed in front of the leaky cauldron and went in. They stepped into Diagon alley and went past the little shops.
“Harry, I don´t want to be a bother but you know I am absolutely useless with an empty stomach.” Ron said and Harry laughed.
“Alright Ron, we get you something to eat.”
After a quick breakfast they stepped into Gringotts. Harry made his way straight to Aros as he spotted him under the many goblins in the entrance hall.
“Aros, it´s me Harry Potter. We need a private room.” The goblin nodded and told him to follow. Harry looked back at his three companions and waved them signalling them to come with him. They stepped into a little office and after the door closed all four removed their glamours.
“It is good to see you again professor.” Aros said. Snape nodded in acknowledgement.
“Aros this are my best friends. Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. They will come with me to my vaults. We have a lot of business to do today. First, I will have to withdraw money from my account. I think I will need quite a bit for today´s purchases but I don´t want to walk around with such a large amount.”
“I can give you a money card. It works like a muggle credit card. Give this to the cashier at the store and he will deduct the correct amount. They are spelled so no one can steal from you. If you tip on it with your wand it shows you your total amount, if you tip it twice it will show your last transactions and if you tip it three times it shows you what comes in each month. Your family invested in a few stocks many years ago and you have a good income from that alone. Will you still want to get some cash?”
“Later thank you. Could I have two cards. I may not always be able to get away and I would like the professor to have one since he can move around without suspicion.” We will have to buy some things today and will come back later to pack up a few things out of my vaults. I also need to speak with someone who knows how I can claim the School.” Harry told him. The Goblin nodded.
“I will inform my supervisor that you will come back later to see him.”
“Thank you” Harry said, took the money cards and after they renewed their glamours made their way to the first store.
Snape stepped in to Trunktastic for a quick look around. Hermione read a sign in the window.
“Trunktastic everything the wizard needs in a trunk and for travel. We are pleased to customize your trunk to all your wishes. Here at Trunktastic all your trunk dreams come true.” She snorted. “How imaginative.” Snape looked at them through the store window and nodded. They followed him in, and Hermione stepped to the register to wait for the store clerk while Harry and Ron looked around the store. There were hundreds of different trunks some were the standard ones that they used for their travel to Hogwarts and others were covered with all kinds of different materials. Harry was sure he recognized dragon skin and acromantula silk but there were many others he had no idea about. The trunks were all in different sizes from small too huge.
The clerk came out of a back room and greeted them enthusiastically.
“Welcome to Trunktastic! My name is Ed, and I am so happy you bring your business to us. How can I help you today?” Snape glared at him. Harry almost laughed at his face.
“I need a customized trunk. I need at least three compartments. One of them must be quite big. There must be a kitchen, a big library, 5 bedrooms at least each of them with its own bathroom, a big training room, a potions lab, a storage room, a living room with a fireplace and a vault.” The clerk wrote everything down in a frenzy a big smile on his face undoubtedly because of the huge commission he was going to receive.
“I also need a compartment that I can access very quickly and easily, but also is safe from break ins. And a last compartment, one room that must be empty and indestructible. The outside must be spell resistant and warded so only the four of us can open it. I thought maybe blood wards would be best. Did I forget something?” He asked and turned to the others.
“What would happen if someone used polyjuice potion? Wouldn´t that person be able to access the trunk?” Ron asked.
“Indeed.” Snape answered.
“Then maybe we can build the wards on our magical signature?” Hermione asked hesitantly and looked at their teacher.
“Yes, that should be sufficient.” Snape nodded. “We do that when we go back home.”
The clerk watched them. He never saw them around before and wondered why they were thinking someone would try to break into their trunk.
“How long will it take to get it done?” Harry asked.
“That is a lot of work. It will take at least six hours and it will be expensive.”
“How much?” Harry asked.
“That would be 2738 galleons.”
“Is there any way to get it done faster? I´m prepared to pay double if you can cut the time in half. I also forgot that I must be able to shrink it without damaging anything inside.”
“D...d...double?” The clerk asked shocked. “My employer is on vacation because his wife just had a baby. I can ask him if he can come in then we would be able to do it in three hours. Please wait here mister?” He looked at him questionably. Harry didn´t answer right away but then made a quick decision. He thought it more likely that the owner comes in when he knows who his customer is.
“Alright,” he said, “no one else can know that I am here or that I did business with you.” He removed his glamour. The clerk´s eyes went wide.
“Mi… Mister Potter! Yes, I will fire call my boss right away.” Harry heard him mumble on his way out.
“Harry Potter, I can´t believe it. This is so exciting.” Ron snorted. When the clerk came back, he was accompanied by a wizard with a huge smile on his face.
“Harry Potter, it is an honour to meet you.”
“It is nice to meet you too.” Harry said politely.
“Ed here told me of your wishes, and we will take care of all of them.”
“Thank you very much Mister?”
“Abbott, Marcel Abbot.” Harry smiled at him.
“We will be back in three hours. We have lots to do.” He said smiled at him again and turned around.
“Ehm… Harry, don’t forget your glamour.” Ron reminded him and after reapplying it they left the store.
They decided to split up after that. Harry, Ron and Hermione went shopping for clothes. Harry gave Snape one of the money cards and asked him to go to the pharmacy to get all the potions ingredients he wants and needed. They would meet again at Trunktastic. Snape was glad. He hated shopping and was glad he could do something else.
The three friends went into madam malkins and looked around the store a bit. The madam was still with another customer and so they waited until she was finished.
“So, what do you need?” Hermione asked.
“Oh, I´m not the only one who´s getting fitted today.” He smirked at them.
“Harry, you don´t need to…” Ron said but Harry interrupted them.
“I know I don´t need to but I want to. You are standing with me always. Let me spoil you a little to say thank you. You know Ron, I think you also need a new broom.” At that Ron´s eyes lit up in excitement.
“Thank you so much Harry” Hermione said and hugged him. “Now that we are of age, we will be expected to wear robes all the time and I only have my school robes and my dress robe. Maybe I can get one in colour too.” At that madam malkin came and greeted them.
“Good day madam. Would it be possible to close your store for a few hours so we will have your full attention? I promise, you will not be disappointed.” She agreed and locked the door.
“Can you close the curtains too?” Harry asked. She did and turned around.
“Would you tell me why these measures are necessary?” She asked.
All three removed their glamours.
“I am really sorry madam.” Hermione said. “We don´t want people to know Harry is around in Diagon alley. I´m sure you understand. That said. We need to by Harry a new wardrobe as I am sure you agree. He needs everything and Ron and I will also get some stuff.”
“Oh yes, I told him for years that I want to dress him up. Stubborn boy he is,” she said with an affectioned smile. “Let us get started then. I think we will start with the muggle stuff wait here I will bring you a collection.”
Two hours later Harry was glad when they left the store. He not only had now more clothes than he could ever wear but against all their protest bought his two friends completely new wardrobe as well. They all were now dressed in nice robes and fine boots.
Harry had told the two to wait outside a jeweller as he went in and bought a necklace, a matching bracelet and earrings for Hermione. They all were made from rose gold and the pendant was a flower, the centre was a diamond surrounded by all kind of colourful gemstones which made the blossom. It was beautiful. He would give it to her later. He then went into quality quidditch supplies where he went straight to the register to purchase Ron a firebolt and two full body flying costumes, one in black for Ron and one in a nice light brown for himself. Both were the best leather, and it was quite expensive, but he was happy to treat his friends. He let the clerk pack it up so the surprise would not be spoiled.
Lastly, they went to a store where they could find everything for potion preparations. Harry bought a set of beautiful knifes. A few different cauldrons, crystal vails and other instruments. At Ron´s raised eyebrow he blushed slightly and turned around quickly. Both looked at him before looking at each other smiling. They knew something changed between Harry and Snape. There was a newfound respect between them. Neither Ron nor Hermione had thought that Snape would ally himself with them, but they were glad. They learned a new site to the professor, and they had to admit that he wasn´t too bad. They knew that Snape is not only powerful but also extremely skilled at potions, the dark arts, occlumency and he was an EXCEPTIONALLY good spy.
They made their way back to collect the trunk. Snape already waited for them and they went in together. The owner came to the front and greeted them.
“We just finished with the last details. Do you want to see it?”
“Yes, please.” Harry answered. Ed came to the front levitating the trunk beside him. Harry opened the first compartment. It was a small one where he could store a few valuables and access them quickly. The second opened to a staircase going down in an empty room. They didn´t bother going in since it was empty. The third opened to another staircase leading down. They followed Mr. Abbott down and Harry was again amazed in the sure wonder of magic. He stood in a huge living room. The furniture looked expensive, and it was quite charming and modern. Had a beautiful stone floor with thick rugs. A huge couch stood in front of the fireplace and many doors left into the other rooms. The colours were all light and there were many flowers in beautiful shades of red, yellow, blue, white and a few others. All over the rooms were candles lit and it felt comfortable. They looked at the different bedrooms. Mr. Abbott told them he didn´t do much in them because he thought the room owners would like to decorate their room themselves. The bathrooms attached were all similar crème coloured with huge bathtubs and showers.
Next, they looked at the kitchen. It was a nice size and was fully equipped and had a big sitting area where they could have their meals. Harry saw that the entire trunk was furnished in light colours with many plants. They just stopped in front of the vault and Mr. Abbott told them how to excess it. They went on to look at the potion’s lab. There wasn´t much in in just a few empty shelves. They went on to the training room where thick matts were laid out the floor so if you fall you don´t get hurt. They library was huge but empty they will have to organize all the books in Harry´s vaults and at Grimauld place and put them away.
When they came back into the living room Harry noticed a door, they didn´t go through yet. He looked at Mr. Abbott who followed his gaze and grinned at him.
“I took the liberty and added one more room. This one will be our present to you. Come have a look.”
They went through the door and Harry´s jaw dropped. They stood in a huge room that had a big swimming pool, an area with weights and other sport equipment.
“I thought you may want to work out a bit. We all know that you will have to fight in this war, and you must be at your best. The pool we added because not only is swimming good for every muscle in your body but also helps your magic. If you are floating in the water while letting your magic flow free around you, you will find it easier to grasp the concept of your magic which floats threw you like you in the water.”
“Thank you this is great.” Harry said. They climbed out of the trunk and back into the store.
“I really appreciate all your hard work.” He told Ed and Mr. Abbott.
“We did it gladly.” Ed said.
After Harry paid, they shrunk the trunk and left to go back to Gringotts.
