Last Chapter:
He sighed and walked out of the room to get ready for bed; walking towards the room he had picked for his own. He still had the letter in his hand. He laid down on his bed, unrolled the parchment and read it. He laughed to himself, leave it to the Potion Master to not directly forgive him. When Harry was done reading he put the letter on the bedside table with his glasses. Brushing the hair from his eyes he thought of what to do next. \"Nothing for now,\" he said, turning the light off he fell to sleep.

The next morning Harry woke bright and early. His body had gotten used to waking up early to go cook breakfast for his relatives. The wonderful smell of breakfast caught his nose, and Harry looked over to the table he had not noticed in his room. It was full of food apparently the house elves thought he needed to put on weight. He picked up some bacon, eggs and a piece of toast; he ate it quickly going over in his head what he needed to get done that day. He was going shopping in muggle London. To get the rest of the things he needed. Also everything he had bought yesterday should have come in today.
He was itching to start working on making some potions. He used to hate the subject, but after reading book after book about potions and spells he had to admit they fascinated him. But alas, he had other plans for that day.
The stores would not be opened for a couple more hours so Harry walked to his trunk, entering his library to get his favorite book to re-read for about the hundredth time. ‘The Dark Arts Guide to Spell Casting’ by Severus Snape, Harry had to admit the man knew something about them. He was also a little bit angered that he was not allowed to teach the subject in school, the book was brilliant. He would have made a good Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher then those fools Dumbledore hired. There had been two good teachers since Harry started to go there. Remus and Moody, though the real Moody ended up not being the real Moody at all. So Harry sat on the floor of his Library and read. The next time he looked up it was time to go.
Harry did not bother changing clothes he just walked out of the room and to the front door and apprated away. He landed in an alley way by some London stores. First was to go shopping. Harry decided he needed a image change. His hair was going to stay how it was, long. He was planning to brew a hair growth potion when he returned home so then he could tie his hair back, in all those books he had found a charm that tied your hair back and kept it there. He was going to quickly go to Diagon Alley to get his eyes fixed so he did not have to wear glasses again. But right now he was going to get clothing.
Harry walked down the street, looking in windows of random stores to see if he might want to buy anything out of them. He stopped at a leather store and went in. Hours later he came out in leather pants, a jacket with a black shirt, and boots that hugged his caves. He had some bags in his hands that contained other pants, jackets and boots he bought. Harry walked into the alley quickly, shrunk them and put them all into his pocket.
Then walked back out onto the street and headed to the furniture store across the way. Well, in there he came across a desk set made of lovely cherry wood that came with a chair. He bought that for his office. He also ended up with a table and some other chairs that matched the table for the Library. He got a couch and a Lazy Boy recliner as well for the Library. He had the store ship the things to his manor and left to find an office supply store.
Well, at the office supply store he bought two record books to keep his finances in order, for both the muggle world and the wizarding world; even if he did not need to. He also got six filing cabinets to keep the important papers in, out of his vaults. He also found a cabinet to put in there to keep extra quills, ink and parchment he would need later on, and some organizing accessories to keep him desk neat, along with basic office supplies scissors, post-it notes, and paper clips. After filing out the sending address to his manor he left.
As Harry was walking to the health equipment store he saw down the street another store to buy some more clothes. He came out with bags of T-shirts, baggy jeans that were ‘meant’ to be worn that way, some chains that went with either the pants or shirts. He was now thinking about the girl who sold him the apparels.
\"You know what I think you would look sexy with some earrings maybe a eyebrow ring or lip ring, or even better a tattoo.\" The lip ring was way out there, but he was thinking about an earring or two… he could do that. A tattoo huh… he saw a place in Diagon Alley that did tattoos that moved. She had also told him the place to go to get the piercing done; so that is where he went next. Walking out about thirty minutes later Harry had piercing on both ears; all the way up, hoops and studs. He had bought some other earrings to replace them once he could take them all out.
Finally Harry got to the Health Equipment store and bought training equipment. A few weights, a punching bag, a treadmill, a bicycle, and they even had some aquatic training equipment for the pool. The only thing Harry had left was to get his weapons for his weapon room. He would be getting those from Diagon Alley.
Harry quickly apprated to Dragon Alley and before heading to the weapons shop he went to the magical tattoo parlor. When he came out he had a long snake that would wind its way around his body, but was currently around his forearm. Harry then headed to get his eyes fixed. But before that he went to see Mr. Brasse to ask a question.
\"Hello Mr. Potter I trust your trunk is suiting you well.\"
\"Very well. I was wondering if it would be possible to get it so that all rooms connect, so I don’t have to keep exiting and entering again.\"
\"Yes I can do that it would take about another hour to do it. You just have to bring it in.\" Before he even finished Harry apperated back to the house for the trunk and apprated back.
\"Here you go. I have a few things to drop off here really fast.\" Harry walked down into his closet and took the bags out of his pockets, then resized them. Then walked back out, handed over the keys. Saying his good-bye’s and left.
Harry then walked to the magical armory. After taking his time in looking over the weapons he bought a long sword, short sword, some daggers, a bow and quiver full of arrows, a cross bow, some throwing knives, and a muggle gun and bullets. In the shop he strapped a dagger to his thigh and a smaller one tucked inside his boot. Everything else was shrunk and put in his pocket.
Harry then headed to the stationary store. Where bought a very larger supply of everything. He would be very surprised if he would have to buy anymore in his years as a student at Hogwarts. He gave them the parchment to send everything to, paid for it all and headed back for Mr. Brasse’ shop.
\"Hello again Mr. Potter. I must say I love the Library. If you will follow me to the rooms I will show you how to get from room to room.\" They headed down to the library. \"I could not take away from your book space. So the bookcase slides away. Just give it a password… if you could do that now. Just put you hand on the bookcase and say the word. It will become the password for all the doors.\" Harry touched the bookcase with his hand and hissed out the password. \"Oh I had heard you were a Parseltongue.\" Mr. Brasse said in a casual tone like it was something you see everyday. The door opened and they walked through. They did it to each room.
Stopping at the Weapons room Harry began to unpack, placing all his newly purchased armament on the wall mount. Once that was all finished he allow Mr. Brasse to show him more about the room.
\"This room is also designed to help you train to use the weapons you have here. Pick up the bow and an arrow.\" Harry did as told, there was a target on the other side of the room handing on the wall that was not there before. \"You see now you can aim for the center of the target. It will also do that for the throwing knives and gun; that is, until it thinks you are doing well enough to move to the next stage… moving targets. Now pick up one of the swords.\" Harry did and there was a standing manikin in the room. \"At first he will stay standing there and he will also give you drills.\" Just as he said that there was a voice that said ‘jab’ \"He will also light up to show you were you should aim at. Once you are done mastering the basic moves he will then appear with a wooden sword and will fight back. Each time you fight him he will advance, as will you. If you fall behind he will slow down and wait for you. The room will grow with you as you advance, meeting every challenge it will throw at you and you at it, until one wins it all.\" Harry stood there stunned by the room, it seemed so simple before, but it was a brilliant room to have made and to train in, it give him real fighting practice.
Harry and Mr. Brasse walked out of the trunk. Thanked Mr. Brasse for his time, paid him even though Mr. Brasse insisted that he did not have to. Again Harry stopped off at Florish & Blotts to buy yet more books to add to his collection. He even went as far as going down Knockturn Alley and got some Dark Arts books. Some of the books had stains on them that looked like dried blood but Harry did not care, the more information he had the better he was off. Then Harry apperated home where everything he had ordered should have arrived already.

Severus sat in his chair by the fire with a book in hand. He had been reading the same sentience ten times and still did not understand what he read. He finally gave up and put the book down.
\"Severus I need you to come to my office.\" Albuss’ head appeared suddenly in his fireplace. Severus nodded and got up from is chair. Taking a pinch of Floo Powder and threw it into the fire, stepping in he mumbled ‘Dumbledore’s Office’ and was gone.
\"Yes Headmaster.\" Severus walked out of the fire and took his normal seat in front of the desk. There were too things Severus noticed Albus did not offer, those blasted Lemon Drops of his or tea. Though he had a pensive look on his face.
\"There seems to be some pressing matters… Hermione and Ron have just told Arthur that they tried to owl Harry. The owl has come back with the letter they wrote and unopened.\"
\"What do you want me to do about it? Maybe the boy is on vacation with his relatives?\"
\"That could be it but we are not sure. I would like you to go there and see.\"
\"Me…? What Albus you can’t be serious.\" Severus looked like he was ready to get up and walk out of the room.
\"I am afraid that you are the only one who can do this at this time. All of the other Order members are unavailable at this time. It is nothing big, you just have to see if he is home, then come back here and report your findings.\"
\"What about Arabella Figg? She lives over there.\"
\"Yes, but… she is not magical and if there is trouble she would surly be killed. Please Severus, put your feelings aside for just this time and do an old man a favor.\" Albus had brought out the guilt. Severus sometime swore that the man was Slytherin manipulative old coot. Severus Nodded and headed for the door. \"Thank you Severus. Oh, and one last thing.\" Severus turned on the stop back facing Albus who sat behind his desk twinkle ever present. \"Lemon Drop.\" Albus held out a ten of the yellow sugar balls.
Severus gave a look of disgust and in a flurry of black robes he was gone. Heading back down to his dungeons to get changed into muggle clothes. Once changed he headed out to Hogsmeade where he would apperate from. In the blink of and eye he was gone.
