2 Chapter 2
It had been some time since Morgana and Hela had rescued Harry from the Dursleys. In that time, the boy had grown, gotten stronger and looked his age. Harry no longer looked like the little tomboy he had been to the Dursleys. Gradually getting used to his new surroundings, Harry spent more and more time in the library, where he read both Muggle books and works of magic. However, not all of the books were available to Harry yet. The girls reasoned that Harry was not yet ready to learn the advanced sections of magic. They would be available when Harry's magical core stabilised, which would not be until he was 16. Nevertheless, Harry was not discouraged.
Being a very inquisitive boy, Potter began his study of magical disciplines with the history of the magical world, magical political science, and pureblood etiquette. In addition, at the behest of his tutors, Harry was actively engaged in physical training. As Morgana explained, these classes would save Harry's life in the future, as she noted that most modern mages had become too lazy and among them, there were rarely any true warriors ready to fight to the end.

Standing on top of the castle wall, two dark-haired girls stared into space and spoke in an ancient language.
- I'm not sure Harry should go to this so-called Hogwarts. We'll give him knowledge that this school hasn't had for a long time, or never had," Hela said, resting her hands on the stone railing of the balcony.
- I agree with you on that, but unfortunately, we can't break the blood pact of learning that Harry's ancestors signed, because only Lord Potter can do that, and the boy isn't ready for that title yet. I'm well-versed in blood magic. Besides, Harry is so different from other young wizards in terms of knowledge that I'm sure he can stand up for himself," Morgana objected.
- There's only one old spider who won't let Harry go that easily," Hela said.
- 'Who is he and who are we, mate? We will protect Harry from him,' Morgana replied firmly.

A few days before his eleventh birthday, Harry and Morgana visited Braid Alley. Little did the boy realise that there had been a long-running argument between his tutors about which one of them would accompany him shopping at the School of Magic. And Morgana had won that argument. To get to this street, Harry and his companion teleported to the Cauldron Bar, where they had to stealthily walk through a passageway leading to Scythe Alley.
When they approached the white stone building that stood on the corner between diagon ally and Knockturn Alley, Harry knew immediately that it was Gringotts. There was a sign on the door of the bank that caught Harry's attention:
Get up, stranger, but be careful:
He who sins with envy will be punished,
"You want wealth without labour.
It will not come cheap.
The treasure that sleeps in the dungeon,
is not yours, remember,
Thief, beware! And know that beyond treasure
You'll find things you don't need.
Harry and Morgana went inside the building. As they approached the nearest goblin, they asked him where they could find the Potter family's solicitor.
The goblin smirked and said that his name was Hookwolf and he was the Potter family's attorney.
In the course of his conversation with the goblin, Harry learned that he had a fictitious guardian that the boy had never heard of. Then it turned out that this "guardian" was Dumbledore, who tried to usurp the right to control the Potter family's finances but failed, because the goblins did not believe that the headmaster of Hogwarts was the legal guardian of the boy who survived, because to achieve the status of Harry Potter's guardian in the Wizengamot, despite his influence, the old wizard failed.
Then Harry underwent a blood test and as a result learnt a lot about himself. This was insisted on by Morgana, whom the goblins were afraid to anger.
As soon as Hookwolf handed Harry the parchment with the results of the test, the boy was shocked. On the sheet was written the following:
NAME - ≪Harold James Potter (alive)≫.
BLOOD STATUS: ≪ A pureblood wizard of the 40th generation ≫
RELATIONSHIPS: ≪ James Charles Potter (father, deceased);
≪ Lily Marie Potter (mother, deceased)≫;
godfather - ≪ Sirius Orion Black (alive, the relationship between godson and godfather broken);
godmother - ≪ Bellatrix Druella Lestrange (alive, the relationship between godson and godmother severed).
GENERIC AFFILIATION:
≪ Heir to the Potter bloodline ≫ (BY BLOOD AND MAGIC);
≪ Heir to the family of Peverell ≫ (BY BLOOD AND MAGIC);
THE TITLE OF LORD POTTER-PEVERELL CAN BE OBTAINED AT THE AGE OF 16.
MAGICAL ABILITIES:
NECROMANTIA;
PREDISPOSITION TO DARK MAGIC;
ARTEFACTORY;
COMBAT MAGIC;
After Harry finished reading, Hookwolf gave Harry a copy of the treaty between the Potter family and Hogwarts - Morgana had also insisted on it.
Harry then learnt that Potter Manor and Peverell Castle were in perfect condition thanks to preserving charms. Then, on Hookwolf's advice, Harry acquired a special purse that was linked to the students' safe. Until Harry became a lord, he could not access all the funds of the two clans. Nevertheless, the money in the student safe should have been enough for Harry to live a trouble-free life for about 20 years.
Having finished all their business at Gringotts, Harry and Morgana went shopping. The first thing Harry bought was a bag with space expansion charms. Then the boy and his companion visited a clothes shop where he bought everything he needed. The next shop Harry visited was a bookstore. After buying all the necessary textbooks for his first year, the young wizard and wizardess went to buy a wand for Harry. Realising that Ollivander's shop sold wands with tracking charms, Morgana and Harry went to Knockturn Alley to buy a completely different magical aid for the boy. Morgana had a genuine distaste for wands. They were inherently weak concentrators of magical energy.
- Try to keep up with me and hold on tight to my hand, there are quite a few suspicious people in this neighbourhood," Morgana told Harry before entering the alleyway.
After finding the right shop, Harry spent half an hour looking for a suitable magical aid. Potter got a beechwood staff with a bright blue crystal. After paying 1500 galleons for the staff, Harry and Morgana left the shop. Returning to Scythe Alley, Potter and his protective mentor went to the café. After ordering, Harry and Morgana sat down at a far table and watched the wizards strolling down Slant Alley. Soon the waiter brought the order and the boy and the wizardess began to eat. Everything was going well at first.
Until a noisy red-haired family, devoid of any manners, entered the cafe. As soon as their order was brought to them, the real horror began. The youngest son of the red-haired family started eating disgustingly. The red-haired twins began to mock the people sitting at the neighbouring tables. It was a sight that made Harry admit that there were rude ignoramuses among the muggles too.
When the redheads were asked to be quieter, they only scandalised. A full-figured, middle-aged red-haired woman stood out in particular, her shrill tone getting on the nerves of those around her, especially Morgana. In addition, the brunette could sense the rottenness of the redhead's magic, which told her that they were blood traitors.
- Harry, you better not talk to those redheads, you remember how I taught you how to read other people's auras," the dark-haired wizard whispered in the boy's ear so that only Potter could hear her.
- I see," the boy said, glancing at the redhead with his magical vision and grimacing in disgust, for he knew that only blood traitors could have such a rotten magical aura.
- I think we should go," Morgana said, taking Harry's hand after she had paid for the order. No sooner had they reached the exit of the café, however, than some red-haired creep decided to play a prank on Harry and tried to spill on him. Morgana, however, had time to react quickly. Covering herself and her ward with a magical shield, the girl repelled Weasley's prank.
- Don't you dare touch my children, you slut Morgana, you dark brat," Molly Weasley shouted angrily, jumping up from her seat and resting her arms at her sides in her trademark style.
However, the brunette wasn't about to let the insult go unanswered. With a wave of her hand, the redheaded fatty flew out of the café and into the street. Following her mother into the street, the rest of the Weasleys came out as well.
- Listen carefully, blood traitor, if you ever catch my eye again, I will skin you, and I'll tell you something else: my name is Morgana Le Fey.
Leaving the redhead behind, the brunette and Harry walked away.

In the evening, news of Harry Potter's visit to Slanting Alley reached Dumbledore. Searching Molly Weasley's mind for memories of her meeting with Harry Potter and Morgana, Dumbledore was greatly puzzled. The Headmaster of Hogwarts didn't want his weapons socialising with the wrong people.
"We are only a few weeks away from Harry's arrival at Hogwarts, and we need to have another talk with the Allocating Hat to get it to place Harry in Gryffindor. Only there will I be able to steer the boy in the right direction. There can be no failure," thought England's chief magical manipulator.
