9 To Hogwarts

The trip to Diagon Alley was uneventful, Harry had come to the place multiple times with Jack's Family and so wasn't surprised with the changes. The place was now much bigger and looked like a Modern Mall instead of a Street Bazar. Even the shops looked much nicer, cleaner. There were around four levels of the now Diagon Alley Mall, all floors had multiple shops which sold Books, Alchemy & Apothecary Materials, Magical Artefacts and clothes. there was a William Family shop here like in almost every country. Their main business in Wizarding World was to sell the Awakening Potions, Magic Control Rings and some other Potions and Artefacts. Seeing that they didn't have enough people in their own family and most of the members were busy researching magic and their Phantoms, Jack handed out shops on lease, for example, the Diagon Alley shop was handled by the Weasleys. Jack had heard from Wesley Sr. that all is kids were able to awaken their Phantoms. All members of the Weasley family were hard workers and under their parents direction they had all worked hard and awakened their Phantoms with their own efforts.

After going around the place for a while, Jack's parents sent him off to get his wand from Ollivander's. When they arrived at the shop, Jack found it very different from what was described by the books or seen in the movies. There was no mess and it wasn't a small place filled with boxes and a single old man. Instead there were House Elves in the shop helping the Old Man, Ollivander keep the place clean and tidy. Thinking about it for a while, Jack found it too tedious to make his own wand, Ollivander was very good at his job and with his Phantom, the Lynx Cat which although enhanced his body but more specifically it enhanced his Eyes. They had just stepped inside when Ollivander looked up from his table and greeted them, ``Oh! Mr. William, Mr. Potter how lovely to see you. I must say thanks to you once again Mr. William, the House Elves have been a great help, just like you said.'' The old man kept rambling for a while before a lady stepped in and coughed, ``Ahem! Ollivander Dear, I think you might want to start testing them for their wands, don't you?'' the Lady was Ollivander's wife, Leah, after he got help from the House Elves, the old man finally had time on his hand and was able to spend time with her, even she was more than willing to step into his shop now that he wasn't up on a stair all day, looking for some ingredient or a wand.

The story progressed just like before for Harry, 11" long, made of holly, and possessed a phoenix feather core. But unlike before, it didn't take several tries to get it right, with his Phantom, the Lynx Cat, Ollivander was able to correctly guess the correct wand for someone based on their body language among other things like the Mana Signature of the person. For Jack, Ollivander had no need to choose, he took out a box and handed it to him, ``Here's your custom wand, Mr. William. Just like you asked, no one was made aware of how it was made and no one will.'' Ollivander spoke while rubbing his hand in the place where there was a mark, the Unbreakable Vow Mark. The minute Jack took out wand from the box, it glowed and a wind blowed through the closed shop. Jack instantly felt the connection between himself and the wand, it was empowering him, ``Thank You Mr. Ollivander. For everything, please take care of yourself and your lovely wife.'' Ollivander thanked him while Leah gave him a hug and jokingly scolded him, ``You Little sweet talker,'' jack and harry made their way out of the shop and met up with their parents who were standing together with a giant man, Jack knew instantly who he was and he was surprised he was here.

``Jack, Harry, come meet Hagrid, a old friends from Hogwarts. He's got presents for the two of you.'' Arthur introduced Hagrid, while Emily urged him to step forward and talk. It was very funny to see, a lady barely half the size of the Giant urging him to do something. Finally, Hagrid stepped forward and greeted the two, ``Hello! You Two, Harry, Jack. How are you two?'' Harry was a bit stumped because he was sure he could remember seeing the Giant man but he couldn't remember when so he asked, ``Hello Hagrid, I was wondering, Have we met before? I swear I have seen you somewhere, a little blurry but I don't know when and where.'' Hagrid was surprised at this and hesitantly asked, `` do you really remember me, but how can you, you were just a baby?'' when the story finally became clear, Harry thanked Hagrid and the Gentle Giant hugged him and started crying, ``I'm so sorry Harry, so sorry!'' harry patted the back while struggling to breathe. Although his body was strengthened with his Phantom, so was Hagrid's with his own Phantom, a Giant, giving him Magic Resistant skin and Incredible strength.

``Ooh! Almost forgot, I have to go to Gringotts but before that, Happy Belated Birthday to the two of you!'' handing out two cages, Hagrid ran off to Gringotts for the `Secret Task' while Harry and Jack took off the cloths on the cages and saw two beautiful Magical Beasts. A Great Grey Owl stood proudly in Jack's cage while Hedwig, the beautiful White Owl stood in Harry's. both were surprised and happy at their presents and were playing with their partners all the way home. Days passed and Harry and Jack continued their practice duels alongside their studies, not only Magic but also Muggle subjects like Maths, Physics and other sciences. Harry always complained about them, ``Why do we have to do the Muggle Subjects? We are going to a Magic School!'' but under the lure of Dessert from his Aunt, Harry gave in and did his work like a good student. Jack wanted Harry to be patient and think about things before running off to do something stupid, like in the books. Jack didn't want for Harry to do something stupid and get himself or others hurt or killed, even Ron Weasley had changed under his parents direction, why couldn't Harry.

Yeah! Ron had changed and a lot, it was visible when the trio was sitting in the cabin on Hogwarts Express. After arriving at the station with their families, Jack and harry said goodbye to them and together with jack's cousins went in the train. ``Jack, you wanna come sit with us at the front?'' Jack thanked Jay for the offer but chose to look for another cabin, specifically the one where the golden trio met. Ron had taken a seat and was playing Magic Chess against himself, ``Can we join you?'' Ron heard the voice and looked up to see two of his goof friends. ``Damn Dude! You scare me, I almost died of shock.'' Ron got up and gave the two a hug. During their visits to Diagon Alley William Family Magic Shop, they always eneded up getting Ron off work to come play with them at the Magic Basement. They duelled, brewed complex potions, exchanged ideas, real scholar stuff before releasing their Phantoms and having a fist fight which wouldn't leave any marks on them but unfortunately the surrounding were as unlucky as them when Emily found her Magic Herb Garden destroyed.

Her White Tiger Phantom appeared and the three tried to make a run for it but were caught instantly and given a Spanking, a Spanking! Jack knew his Mum was scary but even he didn't have a idea just how much. Looking at the distraught face of his Mother, Jack apologised profusely and used the invincible weapon, Puppy Dog Face. Although he managed to make his mother smile, the other two culprits were giggling at him. That day they received three beatings, , one from Jack's Mom, one from his Own parents/guardians and one from Jack. There were other incidents like this but currently the three were busy playing Magic Chess. Ron was playing two against one but was still beating them, when he finally took their King, he jumped up in excitement and dropped, `Scabbers' his pet rat on the ground. When the three noticed the rat, they had different reactions. Ron was apologetic for dropping him, Harry was a tad amused at Ron's antics but Jack was upset with himself. He had forgotten the Traitorous Peter Pettigrew! Looking at the overgrown Rat Jack was beating himself up inside for allowing him to live until now and for Sirius Black to be in Azkaban.

He thought of his chances at catching a Animagus whose Animal Form was a Rat in a Train full of Students and thought better of it. Right when it was getting hard to control his temper, the door opened and the final member of the Trio appeared.
