Chapter 5
Harry spend an hour or so in Diagon Alley after buying his books.
He bought Advanced Potion kit, as well as quite a bit of ingredients as well.
After buying Potion ingredients he skipped wand store, and skimmed through the animal store as well.
The animal store was quite boring, only had owls, cats and some other boring creatures, he wanted to get something like King Cobra or a Feline Predator like Tiger or Lion, but to his disappointment, it was not like those other fanfics he used to read where Harry gets some badass familiar in Dumbledore controlled society, he knows that the Merlin wannabe wants to bring magic kind into 'Light' which is Muggle ripoff society…
Anyway… after disappointing to animal shop Harry decided to call it day and returned to his bunker in Surrey.
~~~
After quickly sorting out his new purchases as well as checking out his wards, especially his mail wards Harry returned to work.
He very quickly realised that there will be very little of entertainment in this boarding school, and he won't be able to truly work his craft in Hogwarts as it sometimes can get very explosive.
Worst of all… Dumbledore will be sneaking around, and of course, overexcited kids will be around as well.
'I miss my headphones…' That moment his eyes widened, and a grin started to creep on his face.
'Yes… Yes… This might going to work after all…' Harry's mind started to work overtime as he started to 'draw' a new piece of Technomancy.
Very same day already started to work on it.
He remembered a certain device Apple had in middle to late 2010… The iPod…
Thanks to all of the Technomancy he did, building one was utterly easy, only think he created from scratch was music to magic and magic to music Array.
The harder part was getting music itself, for that his powerful mind arts came to play, he pulled out all his memories from his past life, copied them and then synthesised into songs, and thus he had over hundred and fifty songs from future! Or more specifically from future AND parallel world!
After getting his 'iPod' Harry worked on software and fixed most of bug in it, it was weird how magic is so similar to technology, after reaching a certain level it becomes the same thing!
Once his music was finished he worked on making a laptop, which was quite difficult and yet so simple, all he had to do is rearrange components, and yet it was quite hard as he needed to reworked whole magic grind.
But by the time it was late August he was done with it!
It was pure silver looking laptop, it hard to see it as a magical, simply because just how… normal it looked, not only that but it looked like it was from 21 century, he based it from his laptop from past life.
But that were similarities end, as the laptop screen is mirror-based, meaning when it's off the screen is a proper mirror.
Meaning it doesn't have pixels like muggle variants, so when you look at it, everything is very realistic, he even watched several movies on his computer, which were synthesised from his memories, after watching Avengers Endgame on his computer, he decided that he will never again going to watch any movies on muggle technology, as it looks so bland and unrealistic…
~~~
And so, without even realising it was First of September.
Harry decided to come early so that he could get a compartment for himself, or at least a compartment not far from front.
He remembered trains in his past life, he always used to get to the very front, so that he would leave the train platform as soon as the train would arrive at the train station.
Yet he knows that Hogwarts train is special, and first compartment usually is taken by Prefects…
So he decided to take one compartment not far from front for himself.
He was quite disappointed with the train, so far.
The whole compartment was like it was back in 19 century, nothing was improved ever since then, instead of comparable seat he used to have in his previous life, these one's were just simple seats, there is no head cushion, nowhere to but hands…
Harry just sighed and decided to improvise…
After remembering his trip to Diagon Alley he realised that he needs some way to carry more stuff so he, decided to create a storage ring.
Since it was by all means and purpose of a side project, he was not able to create what he wanted, but he WAS able to craft a prototype.
It has several limitations, like he has to touch something with his hand where the ring is, the size was that of ten cubic metres, and of course he can't store any living things.
The best part of it was that it's tied to his magic, so when people look as they pull out something it would look like he pulls out something from nowhere! It would look like he pulled out something from Gate Of Babylon!
He worked on that part the hardest…
Since the whole compartment seats are like cheap couches he decided to pull out his favourite pillow, he dropped it into the seat and then he laid down, taking the whole seat for himself.
Then he pulled out his 'Magic Pod' and pulled out his 'wireless headphones' from special case where they are kept charged.
He put them in his ears and then turned his 'Magic Pod' on and went over the playlist he has created, so far his 'Magic Pod' has very basic software running and he can only listen to music, no video capacities were added so far.
Once his favourite music was running he pulled out one of the books he got on potions and started to read, so far he was reading the theory on the whole reaction thing.
It was quite advanced stuff, but for someone like Harry who has experience on reactions between metals and liquid state of metals, and luxury metals as well, it was not something new, apart that potions are done with biological ingredients…
It was quite fascinating stuff, that moment Harry decided to create a database on every single reaction he can, so that it would be easier for him to work with potions later.
'Hmm, I wonder… I should have a book on Potion ingredients…' Harry hummed to himself, working with music is so much, much better!
Before he realised people started flooding Hogwarts train, while Harry didn't hear people voices he did feel their magic.
That moment he realised, just how… stronger he was then the children who are going to Hogwarts, it was like comparing a star in the night sky to a moon…
'Well shit… I quite overdid it…' he only shrugged internally for second, before continuing his reading.
But soon enough his quiet time was intruded by three girls, dressed in muggle clothes.
Harry's eyes moved from the book to the girls, they were not first year's from the looks of it.
"Woah, and I thought we were early." One of the girls said, she had light chocolate skin and brown eyes, Harry can see that this girl loves action.
That means she is Gryffindor, and that means that he is in presence of the Gryffindor foxes…
"Make yourself at home…" Harry casually motioned with his hand.
"Thanks! Anyway are you transfer student? I have not seen you last year in Hogwarts." She said while her eyes wandered all over him.
While her two friends one of them was a girl with light brown hair and blue eyes, and another one was a girl with blonde hair borderline brown, her eyes were light brown as well.
"I get that a lot… but I am first year, I prefer to look like sixteen year old," Harry said with a shrug as he waved his hand and the girl's luggage just went up and got stored in their places above the seats.
All three of them looked with wide eyes at him.
"By the way, I am Harry James Potter, nice to meet you," Harry said with a smile on his face.
Oh he loved that face expression the three girls gave him!
~~~
"No way!"
"W-Was that wandless…!?"
"The-Boy-Who-Lived!?"
All three of them just squeaked at the same time.
Yep, that is what he has expected, of course, he knew there would receive huge reaction, but now combined with his wandless magic, plus his teenager looks…
Well, it was a large shock to these three ladies.
All three of them instantly looked at his forehead, there was a small scar on his forehead nothing like the stories said about him, he doesn't even have 'classic' Potter messy hair or round glasses!
This didn't make any sense to the three ladies.
"B-Buf those books a-and…" the brown-haired one said with a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Yes… the books… " Harry said with a slight sigh, he took out his headphones from his ears and stored back into the charging case.
They were based on AirPods which probably will be coming out in next twenty or so airs in muggle side of things…
His actions were not gone unnoticed.
"Well, first of all, they are fiction made for bedtime stories, it should be obvious for anyone, while the quality of books are not bad, it doesn't make much sense," Harry said with a shrug. By this point the trio was already sitting on the opposite side of him.
"Well… I kind of noticed after some time, by the way, we haven't introduced ourselves." The ravenhead said with slight embarrassed smile, the rest of them realised that as well!
"I am Angelina Johnson, I am Third Year, this is my best friends, Alicia Spinnet, Third Year like me, and the brown-haired one who loved your books the most is Katie Bell, she is in Second Year!" Angelina said with a massive smirk on her face, Katie's cheeks exploded with pink glow, while Alicia tried to hide her laugh.
"Angie!!!" The brown-haired Second Year angrily shouted with embarrassed look, she wanted to hide somewhere.
Harry could only chuckle seem the girl acting like that.
"Anyway, Harry how are so tall and…" Angelina tried very hard and not say handsome, she is having a hard time believing that he is just eleven years old!
"Well, you see when one's magic is very powerful it saturates one body to an extreme degree, that allows for someone who has great control over it...shapeshift…" as Harry said last part he started to… mature few minutes later he looked like he was twenty years old.
The trio eyes just bulged and they even started to… drool.
Harry was not expecting that, while he is very narcissistic he does take care of himself, something he picked up in his previous life when he graduated from school and started to live on his own.
And, since he has complete shapeshifting ability he made sure to look the best way possible, and he guesses that these girls never have seen 'pretty man' before…
"Not bad right?" Harry said with deep voice, which only send shivers to the trio.
All three girls just nodded at him, and just continued to look at him, Harry has decided that it's enough and he used his shapeshifting powers again and this time shrunk to look like thirteen~fourteen year old.
Both girls finally snapped from their daydreams and felt massive embarrassment crashing into them!
"T-That was something else! How did you achieve that!?" Katie asked as she wanted to forget about her daydreams!
"Well, I have delved into esoteric magic, like Occlumency, it helps being attuned with magic," Harry said with a shrug as he touched the book he was reading before, moments later it just disappeared like it was never there before.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"How did you did that!?"
Harry just sighed hearing Alicia question, maybe he has bitten more than he chew, he only came here to Hogwarts to mess with Dumbledore and Voldemort.
But if everyone is going to ask all those questions he is going to lose it!
