Chapter 3
Harry Potter did what he did in the shadows. practicing his magic in the forest 20 minutes away from the Dursleys. a place he knows not many people come by. he is 10 years old now, and he will be turning 11 in 3 days. tom had told him about the three unforgivable curses, nothing elated Harry more than using Avada Kedavra on unsuspecting animals, may it be a doe, or a wolf. it's just so fun killing the.
Tom did warned him not to use it on Hogwarts or in public, or else he would be taken to Azkaban, Tom explained it as the most dire and undeniably terrifying place.
"Tom how are the teachers there in Hogwarts?" said Harry "They were quite fine but that sodding Dumbledore is the worse, he would say that he looks at every student as equal but he definitely despises Slytherins, he favors the lion house than any other houses, we Slytherins didn't even do anything wrong, the Gryffindor were the one who tends to start or brew a fight, then so we had to fight back or it will ruin our image. Like your father for example. he would bully that guy Snape just because he is on Slytherin." replied Tom, this made Harry raise his eyebrows. " How did you know?" said Harry, to which Tom replied.
" I am lord Voldemort after all, he is my past, present, and future. I read the mind of Snape, he was once my follower of course, I am actually sorry for killing your parents and trying to kill you too, for you to end up getting that scar, Dumbledore was the mastermind after all, if he didn't tell that half baked prophecy to Pettigrew, I wouldn't have done that. After finding out the true meaning, I was too late. I possessed your body when you were a baby and read the full prophecy on the head of Snape, and after that, I stopped possessing you. I was too blinded by immortality and by Power. "
This stunned Harry Potter, but he couldn't care less, after all, Tom had the same disdain for muggle folks. or he likes to call them mudbloods. And he had taught him a lot more, but why would that Dumbledore fella deliver him to this foul muggle sister of his mother?.
A week passed and the birthday of Harry Potter had arrived. All of a sudden A letter flew towards the small thin line of the door of the Dursleys, he took it and opened it up in the kitchen where Dudley was currently eating his food. Dudley pig mouth shouted that Harry had gotten a letter, boasting it. and there is the emblem of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Petunia rushed towards harry potter taking the letter from his hands. This enraged her of course, with dread plastered on her face, after all, Petunia is still bitter by the fact that her perfect sister got sent to this magical world where he had no chance of experiencing such grandeur. but Harry muted his surroundings, not daring to listen to his aunt's babbling and uncle's angry shouts. Uncle Vernon burned the letter on the fireplace. then a few moments later many more had arrived, hundreds of hundreds suddenly flooding their home. Harry took one and read it, How did they know that he lives on the cupboard under the stairs? If they knew that had lived in such a dire place why didn't they take any action?
"Told you so Harry, He had always known, but he chose to turn a blind eye" said Tom, with a soft chuckle in the end
A few hours later, they are in this place far away from land, water surrounding the whole area. probably an old house of sorts, all the windows were welded shut, with no escape. A begrudgingly large man suddenly barged the door open. startling the Dursleys.
" Yer a wizard 'arry," said the big man.
" Hogwarts awaits you, Harry, I will just be watching all unfold in the meantime, just call me when you need anything" Said Tom, Harry followed the Big guy who introduced himself as Hagrid. It was quite interesting, he wouldn't stop babbling.
They went to Gringgots first to get the money that is said to be his and his alone that he had inherited from his parents. then he saw Hagrid take one small pouch in one of the vaults using Harry's key, then they went to Diagon Alley a few moments later, it was quite a bustling place, several wizards and witches could be seen murmuring to each other, and students could be seen buying their stuff. Hagrid told him to go and buy his own stuff while Hagrid Had to take care of something then upon entering the shop called Twillfitt and Tattings, he was met by a place with a lot of different robes, and outfits, this place was just brimming with rich grandeur.
A few minutes later he had bumped into a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He apologized first, he looked up to see a rather tall man with the same blond hair as the boy. " I am Draco Malfoy by the way, I am supposed to get fitted here for my robes. Harry nodded and accepted his hands," Me too" said Harry with his pouch brimming with galleons. " I am Harry Potter by the way" He also said, In which Draco Gasped in amazement. " The HARRY POTTER?!" said the boy with twinkling eyes, excitement could be seen in his eyes. " I have heard so much about you, is it true then?? that you had eliminated the dark lord himself, and is there really a--" said Draco pointing his hand to his head. " Oh the scar?, yes" replied Harry. fixing his hair for Draco to see. Draco pulled Harry towards his parents and explained the whole situation. the subtle surprise of Draco's father is quite evident.
" It's nice to meet the boy who lived," said the old man, patting the head of the boy, and then they got themselves fitted.
" Weren't you too underweight for your age?" said the woman, who could be Draco's mother. " the place that I grew up in wasn't quite pleasant" said harry forcing a smile, his dead eyes could be seen if someone looked closer.
the woman hugged him. They talked for some time, and after a few moments they had to bid their goodbyes
" Goodbye Harry!, I hope we both get sorted in the same house" said Draco. He went to Ollivander after to get his wand, and a few wands after that he finally got the right one, the wand of the same wizard who gave him this scar. "We have the same wand Tom" he murmured to himself "I see" How surprising. He just couldn't wait to get sorted.
After that, he saw Hagrid waiting for him just by the shop named flourish and Botts. they bought some books and after that, they went to a shop to buy some pets the shop called;
EYELOP’S OWL EMPORIUM/MAGICAL MENAGERIE
He saw a rather pretty shiny snake. it's light green and dark green combined. how nice. he asked the shopkeeper for how much the snake was, sadly it was not for sale, and with some persuasion, he was able to buy it. he keeps it in a cage of its own, he can't wait to tell Tom the news.
