Hadrian reached for the closest list which just happened to be RoseTorn's.

Hadrian looked over the list confused and weary. The first few suggestions made Hadrian blush in embarrassment. He tried so hard to hide what the Dursley's did to him. At first, it was so they wouldn't hurt him more, then because he was scared that no one would believe him but then when he found out he was a wizard he felt ashamed that muggles were abusing him, Hadrian the boy who lived—a boy who was supposedly responsible for taking down the world's most dangerous dark lord. Hadrian didn't believe it but the rest of the magical world did. What would they think of him cowering to three muggles?
Hadrian wasn't sure what to think about the reflection journal, was it like a diary? Maybe writing his feelings down would help, Hadrian was willing to try. Healing stones? He'd never heard of healing stones before. Hadrian didn't know what was in the sensory isle but he hoped it was familiar. New you kit sounded—worrying when you think of wizards an—wixen.
A soft blanket sounded nice, Hadrian tried to remember his old baby blanket before it was got rid of. He gasped as memories in perfect recall flowed through his mind. Some were blurry others not quite in colour but he had many memories of it. Hadrian smiled as he thought of the baby blanket his parents got him. It was one of the few things that he had to call his own before Petunia decided it was too ratty to keep in her house. He remembered her smirk as he cried for his blankie. How she found joy in keeping it out of his reach before pulling him to the fire and making him watch it burn.
Hadrian frowned at the memory, he didn't remember that before. He couldn't have been more than four. Still, it would be nice to get a soft blanket just for himself that nobody could take from him.
Hadrian knew there was more to tea than putting a teabag back in a cup. He often set up tea parties for Petunia. He knew that there were tea leaves and you could make your own blend but the Dursleys thought that was too hippy. Hadrian thought they were idiots.
He wasn't sure what a Customized Personal Care Kit was but he was willing to give it a try. He was willing to give just about anything a try. He wanted to be the best version of himself he could be and he knew it would be hard work.
Finished with RoseTorn's list he moved on to the next one, picking up the closet.

Hadrian read through the list twice with a wide smile. He loved art and to know there were magical variants was amazing. He couldn't wait until he got his hands on them.
Excited he moved on to the next list after gently putting SilverFangs list beside him.

Hadrian read through the list, this was what he wanted to ask Ragnok about. Although it was more than he thought it would be, he was grateful, maybe he could figure out the bowing?
Moving on to the next list he gently put the list beside the others grateful to Master Six for his help.

Snapjaw's list was predictable but also not. The first aid kit was predictable but not the muggle version. Hadrian didn't think goblins would want anything to do with the muggle world. When he got to the end of the list he paused. Did he want to play Quidditch? He loved to fly on his broom, and he felt great when he caught the snitch but other than that he didn't enjoy playing.
One of the reasons he didn't like to play was Oliver Wood, the boy was obsessed with winning and loved to push his team to the limit. It didn't feel like a game with him but a chore, Something he had to do. Oliver Wood was a good guy but he took the fun out of Quidditch. Maybe Hadrian would like it if there wasn't so much pressure to win? He didn't know but he planned to find out.
Picking up the last letter he read SwiftHit's recommendations.

Hadrian pursed his lips as he read the list. He wasn't sure what Mystic weight bands were—Were they going to train him to be a battle mage? Hadrian didn't know much about them but he heard Fred and George gush about them. The last ones to become Battle Mages were actually their Uncles. Twins like Fred and George. He didn't remember their names but he could tell the twins admired them and looked up to them.
Hadrian grunted as the memory of the Weasley's betrayal resurfaced. Where the twins in on it? Did they know? Did they too steal from him? Lie to him?
Hadrian pushed away from the table angry at his thoughts and the Weasleys and everyone else that hurt him. Why would they do this to him? He was their friend, if they asked he would have given them what they wanted. He had more than enough money to support all the Weasleys and Hermione and her family. All they had to do was ask, instead they stole from him.
He knew Ron was jealous of his fame and money in the first year but they talked about it, Hadrian remembered crawling into Ron's bed and sobbing, explaining that he would give all his money just to have his parents back. Ron had comforted him. From then on Ron had been more understanding and tried his best to curb his jealousy or was he just getting his money?
Hadrian thought of Hermione, her family was well off. Why would he need money from him? Or was it book and knowledge that made her turn her back on him?
Mrs. Weasley was the closest thing he had to a mother. Was she only pretending to get his money? Why would she steal from him and drug him with potions? Why make a marriage contract between him and Ginny? Was it really all about money?
And then there was Ginny. Hermione had told him that she had a crush on him and to let her down gently. He didn't know how to do that so he ignored her and when he couldn't he was nice but then she was in the chamber of secrets and Ron was freaking out. So he risked his life to save hers. Only to find out she was stealing from him. Why?
Hadrian felt tears running down his face, angrily wiping them away he rubbed his eyes refusing to cry any more tears for his frie—ex-friends—Merlin, it hurt to think that Ron and Hermione stole from him, pretending to be his friend.
A knock on the door had him wiping his face, trying to get rid of the evidence of crying, again.
"Hadrian, I was lookin—are you alright youngling?" Ragnok's voice sounded worried as he walked closer. Hadrian could feel a blush coming, his ears turning hot.
"I was thinking of my f—fr— Ron and Hermione." Hadrian stuttered out looking at Ragnok with glassy eyes. Ragnok sighed before opening his arms, Hadrian wasted no time in hugging the goblin king. Hadrian spent the next half hour crying in Ragnok's arms. Ragnok gently rubbed Hadrian's head and back, saying nothing but humming a soft tune.
"Anyone that tries to hurt you again will have to go through the goblin nation, all of your houses and wizengamot seats. You are one of the most powerful wixen since Merlin. Magically, Financially and Politically. You will be unstoppable, sadly that also means that people will pretend to be your friend. For benefits, money, status, and other reasons. You have to be strong youngling and we will help you become the strongest of us all." Ragnok promised as he continued rubbing Hadrian's back.
"Thank you." Hadrian sniffled, pulling back and smiling gently at Ragnok. When he first heard Ragnok telling him how powerful he would be he almost had a panic attack but then Ragnok promised to help him.
It was strange to think that he could become so powerful, he grew up in a cupboard. How did things change so fast? Shaking his head he thought back at the lists. He needed to sort out where to go.
"Hey Ragnok, do you have a map of diagon ally?" Hadrian asked as he started looking over the lists again. Maybe he should write down what shops he needs to visit and then plan out where he has to go using a map or directions.
"Yes, we do. It's an updating map so it will have all the shops that are currently in Diagon Ally, Knockturn Ally, Horizont Alley, and all the side Allies." Ragnok says as he walks to the wall of filing cabinets. Hadrian watched as Ragnok pressed a clawed thumb against a rune and pulled away when it glowed green.
Ragnok then pulled open a bottom filing cabinet and started looking around. After a few moments, Ragnok pulled out a file and stood up, opening another drawer and pulling out another file. Checking the file Ragnok nodded to himself before he started walking towards him.
"Here is a copy of the updated map and the documents required to file for a credit card. Do you know how a credit card works?" Ragnok asked as he set the documents up on the table.
Hadrian nodded in answer to Ragnok's question. He remembered Uncle Vernon talking about debit and credit. Hadrian's head was spinning with information for days.
"That's good, fill out these forms and we will set you up with a Gringotts Credit Card. Now the difference between ours and a normal credit card is that it's made of gold instead of plastic. To wizards, it looks like a regular Gringotts card, to muggles it's enchanted to look like a Barclays Bank Credit Card. It automatically changes all types of currency and has a blood enchantment to never get lost from the owner." Ragnok explained.
"I thought blood enchantments were frowned upon?" Hadrian asked nervously chewing on his lip.
"Wixen and blood. It is frowned upon but Goblins are known for blood magic." Ragnok chuckled, the sound a weird mix between a normal laugh and a giddy snarl. Hadrian shrugged and started looking over the document. It seemed pretty easy to follow, and he trusted Ragnok. It only took him about five minutes to fill out the form before he handed it to Ragnok.
Ragnok looked over the document, nodding when he was finished. He then placed it on a tray and Hadrian gasped as it glowed silver and disappeared.
"Automatic filing system, it's enchanted to file, sort, and create copies. It is currently being processed." Ragnok explained pointing at the tray. He then pointed a clawed finger to a square plate with pebbles and marbles—no wait were they jewels?
"These tell me when the file is processed, copied, and filed. See how the ruby is glowing slightly? That's the file being processed, when that stops glowing the documents will be ready for coping, that's what this piece of limestone will tell me, it will glow and then the documents will be filled in my private filing system, and anywhere else it needs to be." Ragnok explained as the limestone and ruby glowed. It was fascinating what magic could do and Hadrian wanted to learn everything he could.
