Potter's Grimoire

Chapter 2 : From no one....to a lord

Somewhere in the secluded part of London, near the trash cans, sat Harry in ragged clothes. From Riddle's memories he was trying to call the knight bus but was unsuccessful due to lack of a wand. He decided to use a stick instead and try to channelise some magic into it. Soon after something which didn't look quite like a bus came rustling towards him. A head poked out of the gate and spoke to him.

Stan - I am Stan Shunpike, the conductor of the night bus. Where do you want to go, the price is eleven sickles

Harry - leaky cauldron sir

Stan - aren't you a little young to travel by yourself kid, go get your parents child

Harry - my parents are at diagonal alley sir, I was at my relative's house

Stan - ok, get in

Harry entered the bus and was finding a place which would be the safest.

Stan - Come on move on move on child

As soon as harry sat, the bus started moving in the speed of lightning and just after a moment harry lost his first kiss. Yes at the age of 6

To

The window of the bus.

So after an adventurous 'lip' ride to the leaky cauldron, Harry was never so happy to be on land again. He paid the conductor with the muggle money he had stolen from his wonderful 'family'. The sun had already risen when he reached his destination.

Leaky cauldron

Harry's POV:-

How do the wizards travel in that. There should be a rather safe mode to travel. Keeping that aside as soon as I entered the pub a bald man was sitting on the counter. He must be the owner of this pub. Putting a front of a scared child I walked up to him.

Harry -  Ummm ex...excuse me sir

Tom - what do you want kid

Harry - can you please open the alley for me, I lost my parents and want to go to gringotts

Tom - all right but don't get lost again and take care of yourself

Tom opened up the alley and Harry got 'his' very first look of wizarding world. He slipped through the increasing crowd unseen and reached the tall glowing marble building or better known as the wizarding bank 'Gringotts'. Unlike other wizards, Harry stopped to read the riddle or one must say an open warning-

Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.

He knew better than to ignore the clear indication of a dangerous death.

Harry's POV:-

Wizards really don't have any common sense. They consider goblins inferior but the clear warning is better than the motto of ministry of magic. The goblins are really wise and vicious creatures and definitely not someone to mess with.

POV ends

Harry bowed low to the guards but not enough to show the back of his neck. The goblins were shocked to someone as small as him really heeding the warning but it increased even more  seeing him bowing properly.
