Harry Potter [Reincarnation of Indra]

Entrance into the Wizarding World

The wizarding world's children were in a state of excitement as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sent out its letters of invitation to all the young witches and wizards who had come of age. Among the many recipients of these coveted letters was none other than the famous Harry Potter, Draco had also received the letter and they were both elated

It was a surprising turn of events for Harry, he could never have comprehended that he would be a wizard and a famous wizard by that.

It was a surprise for Harry to learn that Draco is an arrogant and cruel boy whenever he appeared to be in public. Narcissa had told him that they had to uphold pure-blood etiquette. The only reason Narcissa told Draco to behave like a "prat" in front of others was to uphold his family's reputation and to please his father, who had been a loyal follower of Lord Voldemort.

But despite that difference, Harry and Draco had found solace in each other's company. They had spent hours talking about their past, their fears and their dreams for the future. And now, with their Hogwarts letters in hand, they were both ecstatic at the prospect of attending the prestigious school together.

Living with the Malfoys had been one of the best moments experience for Harry. He had discovered a different side to Draco and had come to understand the struggles and pressures that came with belonging to a pure-blood family.  

"Harry, you haven't got your robes yet have you?" said Draco

"No I haven't actually." said Harry

"Well why don't we change that," said Narcissa "I think Ivy may need a trip as well?"

"Yay, I want to come." said Ivy excitedly.

"Alright, you can come to Ivy," said Harry.

As Harry stepped into Diagon Alley for the first time, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the sights and sounds around him. It was bustling with people, both wizards and witches, going about their day. The shops were brightly lit with colourful signs and had names like 'Ollivanders' and 'Flourish and Blotts', which sounded like something out of a fairy tale.

His first stop was Gringotts Wizarding Bank, where he was to collect the money left by his parents. As he walked into the grand marble lobby, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The goblins, who were the bankers, seemed to be always in a hurry, counting their gold and silver coins. After a brief wait, he was escorted to the vaults by a goblin named Griphook, who was not very friendly.

As he entered his vault, Harry was amazed by the piles of gold, silver, and bronze coins that lay before him. He had never seen so much money in his life. It seems the Potter family had even more money than the Malfoy family. With the help of Griphook, he exchanged some of his gold coins for wizarding currency – Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. Armed with his new wealth, Harry was ready to explore Diagon Alley.

The first shop that caught his eye was 'Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions'. As he stepped inside, he was greeted by the shopkeeper, a plump witch with a kind smile. She took his measurements and showed him a variety of robes, from plain black ones to intricate designs with dragons and unicorns. Harry chose a set of exquisite robes. They had many functions such as the never ending pocket, the weightless charm and it was of course waterproof. Narcissa had told Harry about pure-blood etiquette and how he as a potter had to hold his family name high.

Next, he visited 'Flourish and Blotts', the bookstore where he was to purchase his school textbooks. The shop was filled with shelves upon shelves of books, and the smell of parchment and ink filled the air. Harry was fascinated by the titles of the books, which ranged from 'The Standard Book of Spells' to 'A History of Magic'. He bought all the required books, and also picked up a few extra ones that caught his interest.

After a quick stop at the apothecary to purchase his potion ingredients, Harry made his way to 'Ollivanders', the famous wand shop. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by the owner, Mr. Ollivander, who had a peculiar habit of measuring his customers' wands by asking them a series of questions. After trying out several wands, Harry finally found the perfect one – a 11-inch holly wand with a phoenix feather core.

As he made his way down the street, Harry couldn't help but feel excited for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had everything he needed – his books, robes, wand, and even a pet owl called Hedwig that he had purchased from 'Eeylops Owl Emporium'. But there was one more stop that he needed to make – the ice cream shop, 'Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour'. He treated himself to a delicious cone of Butterbeer flavored ice cream, a specialty of the shop.

As the trip came to an end Harry walked up to Ivy, Draco and Narcissa to find them talking to another family. He remembered everything Narcissa had taught him about pure blood etiquette, after all he could ruin the reputation of the Potter family and the Malfoy family but maybe Harry was just overthinking. "Good evening Miss Malfoy, Draco." he said before giving him a firm hand shake and a wink. "I have bought all the item I will need for Hogwarts." I said which was directed at Narcissa to introduce me to the family.

"That's great Harry, I want you to meet some people, this is Florian, Adorabella, Daphne and Astoria Greengrass."

Harry quickly analysed them seeing that Daphne was around his age and Astoria was around Ivy's age. The one called Daphne looked beautiful, Harry fell in love at first sight.

"My, My Harry Potter, what a pleasure to meet you, you look well?" said Florian Greengrass he said offering a hand shake.

"Mr Greengrass, the pleasure is all mine, my health is good and I presume you are well too?"

" Yes Harry I am perfectly fine, doing better since I met you." Florian said "My daughter Daphne I presume going to be in your year, is that right daphne?"

"Yes it is father," she said in a cold voice "I hope to excel in all lessons, you should too."

There was something about Daphne she seemed lonely, depressed.

"Anyway we best be off we'll see you at the train?" said Narcissa.

"Of course, we will talk there," said Adorabella Greengrass "Have a good day!"

After that Harry, Ivy, Draco and Narcissa, flooed to Malfoy Manor. Harry couldn't get the thought out of his head, to him Daphne looked hurt, Harry could see it in her eyes. They were flooded with sorrow and Harry knew the feeling, he made a promise to himself to make sure Daphne overcome her pain. He wouldn't have someone suffer the way he did, whether it be emotionally or physiologically.
