Night after night, Harry dedicated himself to a regimen of magical and physical training. As he lay in bed, his body aching from the day's exercises, he would mentally review his progress, reflecting on the quests he had completed and the spells he had perfected. His journey through the magical disciplines was not just about gaining points; it was about building a foundation for his future at Hogwarts.

In the realm of Potions, Harry continued to impress. His recent mastery of the Cure for Boils potion was just the beginning. He delved into the brewing of the Forgetfulness Potion, a delicate concoction that required precise timing and temperature control. The Herbicide Potion, essential for any aspiring wizard interested in Herbology, was his next challenge. Meticulously measuring and mixing the ingredients, Harry successfully brewed it, earning him another 15 points.

Transfiguration was a field that fascinated Harry. He spent hours practicing the basics of the Transfiguration alphabet and formula, slowly but surely getting the hang of transforming objects into their desired forms. The Match to Needle transfiguration, a fundamental exercise in the art, was now within his grasp. He also revisited the Avifors spell, refining his technique. Each successful transfiguration brought him closer to understanding this complex and intriguing branch of magic, and his System awarded him points accordingly.

Harry's exploration of Herbology was equally diligent. The handling of magical plants like Devil's Snare and Venomous Tentacula required a careful approach, and Harry took no chances. He studied their properties, learning how to care for and utilize these unique flora. The Lumos Solem spell, effective in handling light-sensitive plants, was another addition to his growing list of magical skills. His System recognized his efforts in Herbology, adding more points to his tally.

In Astronomy, Harry engaged in nightly observations, studying the moon and star charts. He learned the names and movements of celestial bodies, finding a sense of peace in the vastness of the night sky. His understanding of Astronomy deepened, earning him recognition from the System in the form of points.

However, it wasn't all about magic and training. Harry's relationship with his Aunt Petunia had transformed dramatically. They were no longer just cohabitants in the same house; they were family. Harry helped Petunia with chores around the house, often engaging in light conversation as they worked. He noticed the small changes in her demeanor – the way she smiled more often, how her eyes seemed less burdened. Their shared meals were no longer silent affairs but filled with discussions about their day, sometimes even touching upon the magical world that Harry was slowly becoming a part of.

One particular evening, after dinner, Harry found Petunia sitting in the living room, her hands clasped in her lap, a thoughtful expression on her face. Harry sat beside her, curious about what was on her mind.

"Harry," Petunia began, her voice hesitant. "I've been thinking about your mother, Lily. She was so fascinated by magic, much like you. I... I regret not understanding her more, not being there for her."

Harry listened, a surge of empathy for his aunt welling within him. "Aunt Petunia, I think she would have been happy to know that we are here, together. Maybe it's never too late to understand."

Petunia smiled faintly, a tear glistening in her eye. "Maybe you're right, Harry. Maybe you're right."

And just like that, weeks passed, and the destined day arrived. In one June morning, just after Harry's workout, he walked into the house when he saw a letter on the doormat. "Aunty! My letter arrived!" Harry called out as soon as he saw the crest of Hogwarts. Petunia was right beside him in a matter of seconds, reading the letter's envelope. It read, "Mr. H. Potter, The Second Bedroom on the Second Floor, 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey." Petunia was as excited as Harry. "Quick! Open it," she urged.

Harry broke the seal on the front and took out a thick parchment, reading the acceptance letter aloud:

"Dear Mr. Potter,

Term begins on 1st September. We await your owl by no later than 31st July.

Petunia clapped her hands together, her excitement palpable. "Oh, Harry, this is wonderful! You're going to Hogwarts, just like your mother."

Petunia clapped her hands together enthusiastically, "Let's go and get your things, Harry." Her voice held a hint of excitement, a stark contrast to the cold indifference she had once shown towards anything related to the magical world. Harry nodded, his heart swelling with happiness at the thought of finally starting school at Hogwarts. They quickly prepared and set out for London, with Petunia once again asking Tom, the bartender of the Leaky Cauldron, to open the path to Diagon Alley.

As they walked through the bustling magical alley, Harry couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging. The sights, sounds, and smells of Diagon Alley were like nothing in the Muggle world. Wizards and witches of all ages moved about, shopping for various magical goods. Harry’s eyes widened in wonder at the array of shops, each offering its own unique magical wares. Despite coming her often, he couldn't get bored of the atmosphere.

Their first stop was Gringotts, the wizarding bank. Harry had visited Gringotts before, but this time, his visit had a different purpose – to access his family vault. As they entered the grand marble building, a goblin at the reception gave them a look of disdain. However, his expression swiftly changed to one of respect when Harry greeted him in fluent Gobbledegook, a language few wizards mastered.

"May your vaults stand as fortresses of wealth, impervious to all who seek to breach their defenses, and may your riches multiply like the stars in the night sky," Harry said with a respectful nod.

The goblin, clearly impressed, replied in kind, "May your treasures remain hidden from the prying eyes of thieves and interlopers, and may the gems in your possession shine brighter than the sun."

Their exchange was brief but filled with mutual respect. Harry then introduced himself, "I am Harry Potter, the Heir of the Potter Family. I am here to gain access to my vault."

The goblin was once again surprised by the kid's identity but promptly rang a bell, summoning another goblin. "Escort Mr. Potter to Grimbletack," the goblin instructed. With a nod, the goblin led Harry to a chamber.
