3 Living like a wizard and Hogwarts Express

After looking in front for awhile, Alexander ask to Hagrid what's the first step.

"It's Gringotts Wizarding Bank" he point with his big finger a big white building in the center of a crossroad.

"You need some Galleon if you want to buy wizard stuff, you can also exchange your muggle money here"

"Galleon what's that ?" ask Harry

Hagrid hearing this question start to look for something inside is pocket, after a few minute and showing weird object he pass to Harry and Alexander a big golden coin.

On one face there is a head of bearded wizard with [Gringotts Bank] mark on the edge and in the other side there is a dragon with is wing up to the sky with [Unum Galleon] also mark on the edge. Hagrid also explained the exchange currency.

"It's very simple you see, the money is divided in three coin Gold-Galleon; Sickle-Silver and Knut-Bronze. There are 17 Sickles in a Galleon, and 29 Knuts in a Sickle, meaning there are 493 Knuts to a Galleon" Returning the Galleon to Hagrid, they walked in the crow of people in direction of the bank with Hagrid behind them explaining briefly the shop they pass by.

In front of the bank, couldn't miss a chance to boast Hogwarts.

"Gringotts, the wizard bank! Ain't no safer place. Not one. Except perhaps Hogwarts"

Entering the bank, the twins saw weird creepy little humanoïde creature. The giant explain they are Goblins very clever, good in magic but for most not very friendly so he ask the twins to stay near him.

At the entrance there were also an ominous text.

[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.]

Arriving in front of a counter, Hagrid start talking about the Potter vault for the kids and he also give a sealed envelop to the goblin saying he need to take the "you know what" in the "you know where".

For accessing the vault, they need to take a very old tram. Alexander grip firmly the protection before feeling his entire body shaking in all direction.

At the entrance of the Potter vault, the goblin open the door with the key that Hagrid give him. What the twins saw was a mountain of gold. Alexander who saw this couldn't resist and jump in the mountain screaming "I am rich!".

After swimming for a minute in front of three pairs of eyes looking at him weirdly he clean himself up and ask with a serious face "What?"

After taking money for the spending of the furniture and more for Alexander they headed to the next destination.

They advance deeper in the depth of Gringotts. They arrives in front of a door without key holes. The goblin put is finger on the door, inject some magic and follow a pattern to open the door. Inside the vault there was only a hand-sized package. Hagrid took and put in his jacket immediately and asking us to keep a secret wich the twins nodded in response.

__________

Finally outside the bank; Alexander took a puff of fresh air and asked where to go next.

"Let's start by the books, the [Flourish and Blotts] bookstore, it's where you can find every book for the full 7 sevens year at Hogwarts"

Inside the bookstore they were a little dizzy because shelves upon shelves line the walls, from ceiling to floor. The books are of all sizes and different verities, tower of booking waiting only an innocent soul to squash under they weight. they buy the basic book and Alexander also buy more book such as [The Book of Charms & Spells],[Curses and Counter-Curses],[Quidditch Through the Ages],[The Official Guide to the Quidditch World Cup],[Hogwarts: A History] and he also found in a corner [Guide to Advanced Occlumency].

Although Hagrid wanted to prevent Alexander to buy some book feeling they were too complicated for a first year, he close is mouth when he saw the last book [Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them].

The next stop was [Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions] where obviously buy robes. Hagrid wait outside reading the book of the Fantastic Beast.

Inside they saw a squat witch dressed all in mauve who was very friendly working with a client. A eleven years old boy, pale face with short blond hair neatly combed. Madame Malkin saw the twins and great them, after asking what they need, they were push on a wooden stool.

The blond boy stay still with head high in pride, but after a few minute of silence he couldn't help to ask Harry who was near him.

"I am Draco Malfoy, from the Malfoy familly, are you also a new student at Hogwarts ? My father wanted me to go to Drumstrang but my mother refuse and decide to send me at Hogwarts where they study before. My father's next door buying my books and mother's up the street looking at wands. Then I'm going to drag them off to look at racing brooms. I don't see why first years can't have their own."

'Oh my God ! Oh my God ! Your not Hermione Granger, shut the hell up with you monologue ? I can Avada this twerp right ?' Alexander hearing this mouth-gun wanted to stop him but he new that Lucius Malfoy was just across the street and couldn't afford to bully his son.

'Wait Hogwarts... It's going to be epic !'

"Have you got your own broom?" the boy went on.

"No," said Harry.

"Play Quidditch at all?"

"No," Harry said again.

"Do you know which House you will go ? For me it will be Slytherin like the rest of my family, if I end up in Hufflepuff I will probably kill myself. And you do you know ?"

Harry shake is head, he didn't even know that magic exist before yesterday, who could he know about the house at Hogwarts.

Draco wondering why the light of the shop become dim look at the window surprise by the big guy. Looking at the expression of Draco he follow is vision wondering what surprise this boy seemly knowing everything. After confirming the subject of surprise he say to Draco with a happy smile.

"That's Hagrid, he work at Hogwarts"

Draco ending his stupor with red cheek for this not noble moment said

"He's a sort of servant, isn't he?"

"He his the Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts" respond Alexander and tired more and more from this stupid conversation he just start singing in his head waiting that his robes and clothes finish.

After an eternity and probably the start of an ulcer they finish at the shop of Madam Malkin. To gain more time Alexander start to lead them around, he first send Harry choosing his wand at Ollivanders is the sole wand shop of Diagon Alley. He and Hagrid finish the list and stop by to a ice cream shop to buy one for each person and wait in front of Ollivanders.

Harry finally get out of the shop and show his new wand.

"11", holly, and phoenix feather but I have a question that always bugging me... Xander why did you not go buy a wand with me ?"

Hearing Alexander with a smile take the Elder Wand from his pocket and show it to Harry.

"It's because I've already one hehe"

Harry surprise couldn't help to ask where but he just get a mysterious smile from Alexander and Hagrid. After that they spend some time in the pet shop, Harry like the original buy Hedwig but Alexander buy nothing because in his past life he had problem with animals...

"Well, both of you finish your ice cream, it's noon we should go to Leaky Cauldron to eat"

The twins respond in unisson "Yes !"

The meal a Leaky Cauldron was quite heavy, not because of the food but the conversation. Hagrid explain more about the death of the Potter couples, who was Voldemort. Once the meal finish, Alexander rent a room with two beds, that where Harry and him will stay for the next month.

Hagrid follow them to the room always telling them to be careful, try to stay most of the time in the room, never go alone at Diagon Alley. Under no pretext go to Knockturn Alley and stay in the room at night. Saying goodbye to Hagrid with a pain the neck for too much nodding, Alexander immediately start to organise the study of both of them.

Thanks to the many years of suffering by his brother Harry was able to study diligently and learning the importance of the study. At his former school he was among the good student, always doing his homework, answer the question of the teachers. But he was nothing in front of his brother, he was pride of him but a little jealous. Alexander was top student, even beyond that, he could recite an entire book without missing a word, his exam was perfect and he always shut up the teachers because his response was always too much. He also start to learn different language; French, Bulgarian, Russe, Latin and few others. Suddenly he had a cold sweat wondering what will happen to him if his brother didn't help him study.

The study program of this month was simple for Harry; reading the books, Quizz and for some spell he would practice it. But Alexander force him to know every word of the book [Magical Drafts and Potions] which puzzle him and he just got a "Do it or die !". Harry just shrugged his shoulders and start reading.

Alexander wipe the imaginary cold sweat from his forehead. 'I can't tell you already being targeted by a big black bat !'

_________________

So the day at Leaky Cauldron was peaceful, it was just sleeping/eating/learning with some adventure in Diagon Alley until one day.

Alexander finish reading all the book, spending his time at the bar asking question to passing wizards enabling him to strengthening is foundation.

When he decide that is foundation was solid enough he start practicing spell, even if the [Trace] was actif he should not have much problem since he his in the Leaky Cauldron. Well as long he don't use powerful spell that is...

So he start with basic spell from first year, the Levitation Charm [Wingardium Leviosa]. Following the movement describe in the book he start but immediately stop after. When he start practicing the spell he feel a weird sensation coming from his wand, this sensation spread through his body and after a few second he receive memories and feelings of the Levitation Charm.

What's was those memories and feelings ? Simple, it's was from all the former welder of the wand. Every persons as his own insight/knowledge/details/ of the spell.

After a blank moment inside the brain of Alexander he decide to try another spell the Wand-Lighting Charm [Lumos] and sure enough the same thing happened. Alexander extremely happy start to dance in front the surprise eye of Harry who was ready a book about Quidditch.

Calming himself down he start to train seriously because with this gift 'Thinking of gift, it's what was talking the old women ?' he will be able to mastered a spell extremely more quickly than any other people and with different variation.

So following this was an insane training of all the spell he could learn from is book completely ignoring if the Ministry of Magic will respond or not he also start training the [Occlumency]. During this month Alexander buy, was able to find a few interesting object.

He find a [Messenger bag leather] with an Extension Charm [Capacious extremis] on it, very useful for the many adventure and also because he don't want to be bothered with the book in school. He also buy [The Hand of Glory], yes yes Alexander didn't follow the order of Hagrid and go a few times in Knockturn Alley. He also found by chance an [Invisibility cloak]. All in all he spend a lot of Galleon but it was just a drop in the fortune of the Potter.

Then come the final day. In the early morning the twins were waiting Hagrid at the bar. A sudden green flame came from the fireplaces and Hagrid appear at the same time. harry seeing this couldn't help to ask.

"Hello Hagrid, you just use [Floo Powder] right ?"

"Hey, Hello Harry, hello Alexander and you are right Harry, it's seem that you learn a lot during this month"

"Well, hehe no choice otherwise I will be lock up in the room"

Alexander look at his brother with angry eyes 'It's to help you stupid, you will thank me after the first week !'. Alexander sigh and ask when they will go and Hagrid said know if then ready which they are.

"Your ready then... Wait, your suitcase ? There is only the cage of Hedwig here"

"Everything needed is inside this" Alexander gently tap is leather bag. Hagrid take a few second to understand what Alexander said and his eyes were so open that they could fall off at any moment.

"Wh-where did you get that ?"

"Well it's a secret but as long you said nothing everything will be fine Hagrid"

Hagrid just nod automatically. Ignoring this little interlude they started ready for the train station.

___________________________

Once at the train station, Hagrid looking at the time was surprised because he need to go and do something so he gave each of the twins a ticket [Platform 9¾] but before he could go Alexander ask precisely who to cross it.

____________________________

"Well this is it Harry" said Alexander in front of the platforms Nine and Ten.

"It's look normal to me"

"It's magic Harry..."

After this Alexander without waiting for the reply of Harry directly go in the "portal", after a weird filling he found himself in a new location of King cross, looking up he saw a sign [Platform 9¾]and in front of him the famous [Hogwarts Express]. Finding where to put the suitcase he pull them out from his bag when no one was looking, only keeping the one needed inside the train.

Pondering where to go he heard is brother calling him.

"You could have wait for me dammit !"

"Your are just to slow..."

Finding nothing to say Harry ignore is brother and directly go in the train. They found an empty compartment a the hand of the train. Alexander took the rest of the suitcase out the bag and before he could put them on the shelves two twins showed up. Identical, red hair with a freckles face... It's the comedic duo of Fred and George Weasley.

"Do you need""some help""with your suitcase ?" hearing two people talking like one was new to Alexander and Harry especially since they were twins but never did something like this.

"No need thank you" said Alexander, he took is wand, point to the suitcase dans read a spell.

"Wingardium Leviosa" with this, the suitcase start to float and with the direction of Alexander the two suitcase put themselves slowly on the shelves.

Seeing this the Weasley twins were a little surprised.

"Your a first year""and you can already a perfect spell""neat!" the last word was said in echo.

"He is Fred Weasley""He is George Weasly""And you are ?"

"I am Harry Potter and this is my little brother Alexander Potter"

For this name Fred and George were surprise, they hit the jackpot. So much surprise that they were in perfect synchronization for there next line.

"Bloody hell, your are Harry Potter !!! Wait, since when did Harry Potter have a brother !!??"

"Wait what !?" this was the reaction of Alexander. 'I am not the savior so everybody ignore me ?! The heck ?!'

Hearing the reply of Alexander, with red cheek because of shame decide to escape quickly before something happened.

"Sorry we need to go, our friend called us" and with this they dash out of the compartment.

Alexander still angry saw his brother laughing.

"You little ....."

__________________

Dozen of minute after the train start, someone knock a the door of the compartment. Tall, red hair, freckle face, worn out clothes a shy look.

"Sorry... can I go inside ? Every places is taken"

"Sure !" Harry readily agree.

After helping the new guy with is suitcase, they were both tired. Seeing this Alexander had only one idea at the moment, facepalm his face...

"Harry... you seem's to have forget your are a wizard..."

"Why do you say this ?" Under a minute Harry finally understand what is brother was talking about and blushes to his mistake.

Awkward silence was soon ended by the new guy.

"I am Ronald Weasley but you can called me Ron" Ron present his hand to harry for a hand shake

"Oh, I'm Harry Potter"

Hearing this Ron was petrified. Collecting himself he ask with a shaking

"Then... then you have a -" he point to his forehead

"Oh yes" Harry show up his scar and get a "Wicked" from the mouth of Harry and then he start a passionate talk ignoring someone...

Alexander cough a little to get the attention of the two guy in front of him, they both blushes a little.

"Sorry you are ?" ask Ron

"I am Alexander Potter, but you can call me Xander, nice to meet you" Alexander reply with a smile.

"Wait what ?! Harry Potter has a brother ?!" Ron blurted out

Hit by this question, Alexander decide ton look at the window wondering where everything gone wrong.

__________________

After Ron strongly apologize and Harry buying a lot of sweet thing from the old lady, a normal conversation start. Talking about anything to everything but principally Quidditch and Hogwarts. During the conversation Alexander was just looking at the rat near Ron, trying to eat everything near his mouth...

'Pettigrew ! We meet again ! Before the end of this year you will end up in Azkaban !!'

The rat shudder heavily.

"Pretty pathetic isn't it ? It's the old pet of my brother Percy, I also got his old wand... Well I have nothing new...."

Hearing this pathetic pleading Alexander decide to change Ron for the best. Yes he his a pain in the ass, don't know how to shut up and always talk before thinking and end up hurting people but he can still do shit done. The only think he lack from a pathetic wizard to a good wizard is courage.

"Fred and George teach me new spell, with it I can change the colors of Scabbers, want to see ?"

"Yes of course" Harry was happy to see some new magic from his new friend.

Alexander just stay silent smirking.

But before Ron could do the spell, the door was rudely open and a young girl with bushy hair and beavers tooth ask in bossy voice

"Has anyone seen a toad? Neville's lost one"

"We didn't see it" reply Ron but was completely ignored by the girl because she was looking at his wand.

"Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see it, then."

She sat down in front of him. Ron looked taken aback.

"Er — all right." He cleared his throat.

[Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow]

He wave is wand but nothing happened, Alexander was holding his laugh because he didn't want to hurt the self estime of Ron.

"You call this magic ? Well, it's not very good, is it? I've tried a few simple spells just for practice and it's all worked for me. Nobody in my family's magic at all, it was such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was so pleased,I mean, it's the best school of witchcraft there is---"

'Well this his Hermione... Too much talk'

"I'm Hermione Granger by the way, and you are ?"

"I'm Ron Weasley," Ron whisper.

"Harry Potter," said Harry

And before Alexander can introduce himself he was cut off by another monologue of Hermione, finish she get off the compartment without forget in to tell them to wear there school robes.

"Again..." Alexander was complaining.

After a short silence, Ron start talking about a robbery at Gringotts and of course because of the [Aura Protagonist] of Harry someone interrupt them again..

It was Malfoy boys club. He start is evil-style presentation, insulting muggles and traitors completely ignoring Alexander and when they start eating the food, it's getting to heat up and before Crabe could touch arrive I put myself in front of the trio.

"Who are you ?!"asked Draco in an angry tone

More and more people showed up in front of the compartment even the twins Weasley.

Feeling piss of since thin morning and recalling the conversation a the shop of Madame Malkin, I snapped. I snapped...

I headbutt Draco making spurt blood from his nose, I kicked the stomach of Goyle and punch the chin of Grabe. Perfect Hit three KO. The boys club completely wipe out. After a few second of silence the twins and the rest of the people explode in joy. Alexander and the others threw away the trash and sit again.

"Are you insane ?! fighting before getting to school ? Do you want to be expelled ?!" Hermione of course as a follow every rules has to ask me this question. I just respond with a monotone voice.

"Who are you ?" She blushes from shames and leave.

"Xander ?" said Harry

"What ?"

"You forget ? You're a wizard !" With this line everyone laughing and the journey in the train was near the end.
