It had been a rotten sleep for harry, his cupboard was uncomfortable and cramped. He missed Merlin. He missed home. It dont matter though, he was taking down the two darkest wizards. Voldemort and Dumbledore.

"BOY" yelled Vernon "GET YOUR UNGRATEFUL ARSE OUT OF THAT LUXURY BEDROOM-" harry rolled his eyes at this "-AND COOK US BREAKFAST"

Harry was definitely 'cooking breakfast' not using magic to make it perfect, but using a disillusion charm. Definitely not. The muggle timer went and he served it uncomplaining.

"BOY" yelled Vernon "BOY GO GET THE BLASTED MAIL!"

Harry replayed the scene in his head of what Albus-I'm-Fucking-Perfect-Dumbledore wanted to happen. He would have to not get caught. He hid it in his cupboard before returning.

Nothing important happened that day, until lunch. Naturally he was banned for 'breathing' he then went to his cupboard ripped open the letter before bursting out of his cupboard and slapping petunia. He wanted to do that for ages. "YOU KNEW I WAS A WIZARD?" He exclaimed "YOU KNEW" and then, without giving Dursleys time to react, he left with a pop. Dumbledore won't know for about four hours, giving him that long in Diagon Alley

He went to ollivanders to get a wand. He was alright at wandless magic, but he was no expert, or natural.
Entering he heard a ladder slide over. "Hello... Er who are you?" Asked ollivander, shocked that, for the first time in his job, he didn't know someone. Harry looked up "Mr ollivander can I trust you?" He Asked, genuinely tentative. Ollivanders eyebrows furrowed, "Yes, I believe so". Harry sighed, relieved. He put the concealment charm back on. "Ah, I wondered when I'd see you mister potter", mused ollivander.

There were several wands they picked out, and the shop was a mess, but it was just the waiting game.
He then saw ollivander reach for the phoenix tail wand he was to have, Merlin, however had objected when harry said anything about it. "No," he had said as he replayed the memory," Tell him you want to try a chimera scale core, it is powerful and loyal. It will only chose those with best intentions. I think a birch would will do, they work well with the stone, which only goes in for those wise enough to know how to use it, and how to use it well. Birch is a wood that, if you have great ambition, it should work brilliantly."

Harry briefly nodded to himself. He picked up the wand, and a white light glowed from it. "Mr ollivander, sir?" Said harry politely, before carrying on from ollivanders nod, "I was um wondering if..... CouldITryAChimeraScaleBirchWoodOnePlease" he managed to say with one breath

Ollivander saw no harm though he was convinced that nothing would happen.

He picked out a 12 1/4 birch wood with chimera scale for the boy. As soon as harrys skin touched the wand, light flooded the room. The first wand was obviously a feeble one, as ollivander bustled to get it away. "One more thing ollivander, is it possible to try a snake wood with basilisk horn core for my second wand. It just one I really I want."
He said, and sent his best pretty pretty please look at ollivander.

The old man sighed "It is well known that is the core and wood of Salazar Slytherins wand (A/N it is i looked it up)
But.." He paused "oh all right, I've only got one, so if you purchase it it'll be double price." Harry looked as if Christmas had come early. Raising his eyebrow ollivander left briefly to return with the wand of his choosing. Harry took it and a warm feeling spread up his arm. He took one swish of it and the shop was immaculate, much better than using Merlins spare one.

"The wand chooses the wizard," said ollivander," Harry looks up at Ollivander and says, 20 galleons per wand? I shall pay 70 galleons for the three that reacted, i shall also pay for four holsters, two hex proof, they are 10 galleons each so I shall give you 50 galleons and I need a stone fixed to my birch wood one, that would be free but i shall give you 5 galleons for your time." He took the 200 galleon wand money Merlin had given him and started to count to 125 and slid them to ollivander. "Here you go" he said simply "and" looking at his shocked face "I shall give you a 5 galleon tip for shocking you three times today"

Ollivander nimbly fixed the stone on before giving all the purchases to harry.

"Thank you harry, now i should make sure you put that disillusion charm on"
He said as harry turned and winked before the dissillusion back on. Harry stopped "Mr ollivander sir, dont tell Dumbledore please"
