Harry Potter and the Blood Risen Moon (Completed)

Chapter 3: Visions

Harry laid in his bed, tossing and turning. Small whispers of pain escaped his lips. In his dreams he saw Voldemort punishing one of his followers. Snape was watching from the sidelines. "You were told to bring the boy to me," A hiss filled the room, a vile sound in deed. "Slowly that boy is killing me, and because you couldn't do your job properly I'll have to send more protection over my belongings." The voice stalled and two slit red eyes looked up into the darkness. "HARRY POTTER, LEAVE ME!"

Harry snapped awake, sweat glistening on his forehead. He untangled himself from his sheets and stood next to his window. The sun had yet to rise, and welcome a new day. His family, hadn't been the kindness of people, but they were still his family. And just like his parents, Sirius, Cedric, and Dumbledore, they too had been butchered. No more, Harry swore on their graves, he'd find a way to ride the world of Voldemort's tainted soul.

The sun slowly rose to greet the world in rays of golden light. The sun fell on Harry's face, and warmth filled his soul. He smiled softly and turned to get dressed. He pulled on some faded blue jeans and attached them to him with a worn leather belt. He pulled on a faded green shirt with a black hoody. He tucked his wand safely into his back pocket.

Quietly, he pulled out parchment and a quill and began to make an extra list. Which included; clothes, a wand holster, combat boots, first aid kit, potion supplies, and a new wand (That way he could actually duel with Voldemort). He heard movement downstairs so he pulled on his shoes and set off downstairs.

Hermione was already dressed and eating a bowl of cereal. Ron came in slowly after Harry and sat down next to her. He poured himself a large bowl and began to shove it down. Harry sat across from them and poured a small bowl. He ate quietly, and watched as Hermione and Ron argued about what stores to go to, and about going back to school. He couldn't see what they saw in each other, so he sat there in silence.

"Harry!" Hermione shouted. He choked on his food in shock, and looked up at her. She smiled, "I heard you tossing and turning last night. Everything okay?" she asked. Harry smiled as best he could and stood from the table, cleaning up his bowl.

"He knows. He's got them more protected now." Harry said leaning against the counter, almost as if he was accepting defeat.

"We'll beat him, Harry. Then we can finally live in peace. I promise." Hermione said adding her dishes to the sink. Harry smiled at her, then looked to Ron who seemed very interested in his 3rd bowl of cereal. At that moment, Lupin walked in dressed in muggle clothes; black jeans, a blue sweater and a brown jacket.

"You all ready to go shopping?" He asked looking at the three. With Harry's nod Ron abandoned his food and they followed Lupin to a cab outside. Apparently they were going to London to clothes shop, thanks to Hermione suggesting it. Once inside the cab, Lupin handed Harry a sack full of muggle money and wizard money. "I took the liberty so you wouldn't have to. That should be plenty for anything you want to buy today."

"Thanks Lupin. Let's just get this done, I'd like to get back soon." Harry said looking out the window. Hermione watched him as her watched the area around them for anything wrong. He had his emotions locked up again. He hadn't spoken about Dumbledore, or his horrid family (but family non the less). She would find a way to get him to talk about his feelings; she would find a way.

15 minutes later they were in downtown London. They piled out of the car and Harry paid the fare. Hermione led them through the streets, clearly having been downtown before, so Harry followed her into a nearby teen boy shop. She giggled a little bit and dragged Harry off to one of the racks. Next that Ron and Lupin saw was Harry being shoved into a changing booth with a mountain of clothes.

Hermione attempted to drag Ron off for clothes but he outright refused, so she gave up and waited on Harry. He tried on different shirts, pants, and jackets. Eventually he picked out a few outfits. As they left, he now owned 3 jeans, two blue and one black, 2 button down shirts, one dark red, the other black. Along with a gold silk tie, a black suit and 4 muscles shirts, red, black, blue, and green.

With Harry's clothes problem settled they headed to Diagon Alley. First stop was the bookstore. They picked up there school books and Hermione found a few Dark Art books she hadn't seen yet, which mean she hadn't read them. Harry found a book on Self-Teach on how to be an Animangus, he also found a book on defense fighting.

After getting their books, Hermione and Ron went their own way to get something they wouldn't tell Harry. So he headed to the wand shop. Olivander was standing behind the counter and smiled when he entered the dusty shop. "So what can I help you with, young Mr. Potter." He said with his crooked smile.

"I need two wrist wand holsters, and a new wand." Harry said smiling.

"What is wrong with your wand?" He asked heading to the back and retrieving two wand holsters, made of soft black leather.

"My wand won't duel with Voldemort's. I need one I can fight him with." I said. He nodded placing the items on the counter. He disappeared into the shelves of wands and returned with 3.

"Very well, try this one. Maple wood, with unicorn feather, 12 inches." He handed the wand to him and Harry gave it a wave. Nothing happened, so Olivander took it away and gave him another, "Oak wood, dove's feather, 10 inches." Again Harry waved and nothing happened. Irritated he took the wand and gave Harry the 3, "Pine, phoenix feather, 11 inches." With a wave golden stars appeared on the ceiling.

Olivander smiled and put the other two wands away. "Most curious." He said. Harry looked at him about to ask a question, when he waved it off. "No reason, here are your items and your total is 200 galleons. Harry paid him and said thank you. He quickly left going to find Hermione and Ron.

He stopped long enough to put his holsters on and placed his wands in them safely. His new wand he would keep a secret, a surprise for Voldemort. A few minutes later he found Hermione and Ron at the ice cream shop sharing a sundae. Harry joined them and sought out Lupin in the crowd. " Ready to go?" He asked them. Hermione smiled and Ron quickly finished the ice cream. With a laugh Lupin joined them and quietly they headed home. Hermione carrying two more bags than when he parted with them.

Lupin summoned a cab, and they headed home to # 12 Grimmauld place.
