Waking up the early the next morning to pay for this copy of the Daily Prophet Harry was rummaging through the box Aunt petunia had given him last night completely ignoring the paper that lay on the other side of the desk and mostly putting off going downstairs. What Harry feared most was that if he went down stairs it would all turn out to have been nothing more than a dream. He was still shocked. He remembered that Dudley had even asked him to come by his room so he could see something Dudley had found on the Internet about wizards.
Harry found several things in the box that would come in handy. Another invisibility cloak, slightly larger, was in the box along with a set of keys the kind that Harry knew well. They belonged to several Gringots vaults.
He would ask Aunt Petunia to accompany him to Diagon Alley this week and go over the things in the vaults. He wanted make sure nothing happened to the Dursley's when they went into hiding. He was going to talk to Remus Lupin to see if they could do the Fidelis charm for them over in the states to make them harder to find. And he wanted to give the Dursley's some money without them knowing.
Harry heard a soft knock at his door. Steeling himself "Come in" he said
Dudley poked his head in smiling sheepishly. "Harry? Mom has breakfast ready would you like to join us?"
Harry smiled and nodded his head. "Sure Dudley be down in a minute"
When Dudley had shut the Door, Harry quickly finished getting dressed in a new t-shirt and blue jeans noticing again that he had a place on his jeans to store his wand. He rummaged through the rest of his pants for a moment and noticed they were all like that. Then he noticed the new dress robes that his Aunt had gotten him. Harry didn't know a lot but he did know that the material on these robes was an expensive silk weave from the silk of a fire worm.
He took them out and walked slowly down the stairs. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were talking about something having to do with their upcoming vacation. "Well we could fly out that morning after we drop Harry off and I can show you my old school Vernon"
"Well with all the protection around it I probably wouldn't be able to see it Petunia, nor would Dudley but I could take him on a tour while you catch up there and see if you still know some of the teachers" Uncle Vernon said
"Hey Harry" Dudley said raising his eyes from the paper "Moms taking us on vacation to Salem!"
Harry smiled and walked in carrying his new robes "Thanks for the new robes Aunt Petunia but I already have dress robes"
"Yes Harry I know" Aunt Petunia said smiling "But those are special. Their Fire proof and if you wear the cape that goes with them, almost no fire spell can touch you"
Harry's jaw dropped as he looked back at the robes "Thanks Aunt Petunia but these must have cost a fortune! And you surely didn't get these in Diagon Alley did you?"
"Oh no Harry those came straight from China. That's where all the best Fireworm silks are made you know. Don't worry about the cost dear. Lily and I both inherited money when our parents passed on. That's what those keys in the box are for so don't lose those. Of course you also will be coming into the rest of the Potter estate when you're of age. Your share of Lily's money I had placed with the bulk of the money they left to you upon their deaths" Aunt Petunia said.
"And also the Black estate is mine too Sirius left that too me when he ..." Harry's voice choked and he finished "Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon can all of us go to Diagon Alley this week? Maybe invite Ron and Hermoine to come with the four of us?" Harry asked
Aunt Petunia sat down for a moment at the table with her eyes closed then opened them with tears in them and smiled. "Yes Harry I think that would be a lovely idea. We would love to get to know Ron and Hermoine and I'm sure they would just love to say a few choice words to us" she said and Uncle Vernon chuckled and Dudley gulped.
