The next morning, everyone was up and downstairs at breakfast when Errol, Hedwig, and Penelope flew into the kitchen, only for Errol to hit the window.

Hedwig and Penelope landed in front of their masters with practiced ease. Y/N looked at the letter and saw something that he had never seen before. It was a permission form to go to Hogsmeade and a book from Hagrid. Harry got one too, and Ron and Ginny too.

The book had a ribbon tied around it and the outside felt like fur. It also looked like it had four eyes. Y/N looked at the others and saw the books. Ron tried to simply open it and it attacked. It took Fred, George and Y/N to contain it. Molly then said that nobody else is to open the books.

Ginny and Ron went to Author and Molly, who signed the forms with no problem. Harry and Y/N got permission as well.

Fred and George decided to pull Y/N away for a private chat with him. Once they were out of prying eyes and ears, Fred gave him a piece of parchment.

"Guys, I have parchment." Y/N said. Fred giggled at this. "That's no ordinary parchment mate, that there is the secret to our success." He said. "It's a wretch giving it to you, believe me." George said. "But we've decided that your needs are greater than ours." Fred said. "We can't show you what it is, but we know that you're going to be giddy when you see." George said.

"All you have to do is point your wand at it and say, 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Fred started. "And when you are done, give it a tap and say 'mischief managed' or anyone else can read it." George finished.

"How did you two get something like this?" Y/N asked. "We nicked it from Filtch's office during our first year." Fred said. "We memorized it enough to keep up our work, but not to the same success." George said. Y/N nodded and decided to try it out at Hogwarts.

The trio returned to the family where suspicions were visible. "Your not trying to talk him into helping you with a prank, are you?" Percy said with a look of suspicion.

"Do you think we need help practicing you, Perce?" George asked. "Besides we don't have time for that. We got things to do." Fred said.

"Alright you lot, it time to go." Molly said. Everybody went to the fireplace and went directly to Diagon alley, with Harry being more careful with the floor powder.

Y/N, Harry, and Ginny went to look for Hermione Granger in Diagon alley, with Y/N able to see the bond. They found her just outside of Gringots bank.

Hermione saw the trio and hugged Y/N almost immediately. He hugged her back and noticed something different about her. "Did you cut your hair?" Y/N asked. "Yes, I thought it would be a good change." She said.

Hermione saw Harry and Ginny and greeted them with warm welcomes. The rest of the Weasleys followed suit.

"Y/N, do me a favor and slow down a bit." Ron said. "No promises." Y/N said. The group entered Gringots bank together.

Griphook approached the Potter twins. "Since all people involved knows about the vaults, it's time to enter." He said. The four nodded.

Griphook took them down the caverns until he came across a vault. "Vault eight hundred thirteen." The goblin stepped out and brought all four of them to the vault. Griphook used a key and opened up the vault.

The group was greeted by a wall of paintings on the right wall. Some of them had landscapes of different kinds. Some of them had different people. And one of them had a portrait of Harry and Y/N in the arms of James and Lily respectively.

Ginny and Hermione cooed at the picture of the two of them as babies. Harry and Y/N were looking at their parents. Harry was amazed by the similarities between him and his father. Y/N was at awe at the sight of their mother.

Harry looked at the money stacks, and felt like half alone would set him up for life. He looked at his twin brother, who was flabbergasted by the wall that was covered in weapons.

Various staves and swords covered the wall like decorations. Y/N swore this place would not fall into the Ministry's hands.

Hermione and Ginny went to the Potter twins. "We still have to see the Gryffindor vault." Ginny pointed out. "The young lady is right, and don't take anything from this vault. You can enter, but you can't leave with anything until you are seventeen." Griphook said.

The four traveled to the Gryffindor vault, Y/N had to give Harry and Ginny permission to enter, but once inside the vault, all four of them were floored.

It was massive. A wall full of books on swordsmanship and charms, some written by Godric himself, an armory, and many crimson and gold banners with the lion in the middle of them.

A corner of the vault was filled to the brim with more galleons, sickles, and knuts than they could count.

As if that wasn't enough, a table was situated in the middle of the room with four chairs around it. On the table was a deed. Y/N picked it up and saw it was to a castle called Lion's Castle.

There was other documents that was on another wall next to the door.

He took and studied them one by one, learning many of Godric's ideas as well as the methods of swordsmanship he favored.

"Alright you lot, time to go, we need to visit vault six hundred eighty seven." Griphook said.

After getting the money they needed, they met up with the Weasleys and went about their shopping.

Everybody else was waiting for the others was waiting for them with their own money.

The group went down to the pet shop because Ron needed some rat tonic for Scanners, and Y/N was looking for a gift for Hermione.

The group waited waited outside until Ron got his rat tonic. Once he got back, Y/N and Hermione went in.

Once inside, the two looked around and saw a ginger cat. The cat went to Hermione, and she Immediately picked it up. The cashier noticed that the cat was ignored and his name was Crookshanks

Hermione immediately took the cat and Y/N payed for it.

The two came out and Crookshanks was carrying Penelope on his back.

Y/N and Hermione met up with the others at Florist and Blots.
Y/N looked around for anyone who was in the shop last year, but didn't see anyone else.

Hermione placed a gentle hand on Y/N's shoulder. "Don't worry about that. Nobody who was here last year was paying attention." She told him. This gave Y/N some relief.
