106. Diary
Inside the diagon alley, Harry casted a disillusionment charm on himself and entered the bookstore, waiting for the Weasley's to come.
It was too crowded inside because of Lockhart's fame and Harry really didn't like the man so he decided that Lockhart needed to be squeezed of his worth before being thrown away.
\ Bree, tell Amelia about my new plans related to Lockhart. See if she can help me with this./ Harry said as he continued browsing any useful books he could find in his invisible state.
Soon he saw Weasleys enter the store, standing in line. He kept an eye on them and he was disgusted by Molly Weasley. She was effectively brainwashing her daughter to go after him. He also found that Ron and Percy had a fight because Ron lost his rat. The twins seemed to be entering their real rebellious stage, disliking Molly's habits and extra forceful nature. Arthur Weasley didn't know anything going inside his family, busy with ministry work but Harry still despised the man. A man needed to know how to balance family and work. Or at least should spend time with his children sometimes and have a heart to heart talk.
It was at that time that Lucius Malfoy came in with Draco Malfoy. Harry was itching to kill Lucius there and then.
\ Bree, I want all their life information at the end of the day. Lockhart, Weasley's, Malfoy's.../
\ Already working on it Harry. I'm also making profiles of all others you saw today../ Harry nodded.
He had started keeping his observe skill in use perpetually and Bree had started presenting him summarised reports and information to him on demand or when in need. She had even started printing books on the information and knowledge she had gathered after organising them.
Harry saw Lucius putting the diary inside Ginny's couldron, immediately went there stealthily and took it out while Authur and Lucius were fist-fighting. Taking the diary with him, he directly went outside the store, put the diary inside the specially constructed box and portaled it to him room discreetly.
" Dobby!" Harry called making the excited elf appear in front of him.
" Dobby, don't make noise. I want you to keep an eye on Lockhart and inform me immediately when he is about to leave the bookstore. Okay?" Dobby nodded his head so fast that Harry feared for his neck. He patted Dobby's head and let him go while he himself started walking towards the Knockturn alley after downing a dose of improved polyjuice Potion.
Normally, one needed someone's hair to turn into them using the polyjuice Potion, but he modified it greatly. Even though it became many times difficult to make it, but this Potion allowed him to change into a person that was actually not real.
It was actually very impractical because of its difficulty that nearly exceeded liquid luck and its side effect, affecting the very nature of the drinker. But for Harry, its was perfect. He didn't fear any negative effects and after making it once, he just copied it into Vörn.
Harry changed into a muscular man, wearing tight fitting three-piece green suit with the outer coat being a long coat, long black hairs and dark black pupils. He looked like some rich, stern and powerful man.

He started walking into the Knockturn alley, looking around all the shops casually and even entering some if looked interesting. He also visited Borgin and Burkes and observed the Vanishing cabinet along with a few other things.
Some still tried their luck, but Harry was merciless with his spells, leaving them alive but with several body parts missing. After two such cases, people started keeping their distance from him while the shopkeepers too started acting polite even if he didn't buy anything from them.
Harry then also shopped in Diagon alley. He started with Twilfitt and Tatting's and visited neatly every shop, observing all the people and things.
It was during this that Dobby popped beside him and informed him about Lockhart getting out of the shop. Harry hurriedly found Lockhart and started following him in the hopes of getting him in a secluded corner but when he saw him walking towards the floo, he hurriedly made two of his spy ants attach to his clothes.
He than returned to his home and went to the prison he had made in the basement. Knowing his intentions, Bree was already sharing the view from fis spy ants. Harry directly opened a portal below Lockhart, dropping the man directly inside the prison. For more security, he stunned the man and took away all the equipment and he was thankful because he actually found a portkey on him aside from his wand.
\ Bree, inform Amelia that I have captured the fraud. Tell her to directly come here.../ Harry instructed and then started viewing the profiles on different objects and people that Bree had made while waiting for Amelia to come.
The most he gained was from viewing the profiles of Molly Weasley, Lucius Malfoy, a few cursed objects and Vanishing Cabinet. From Molly, he got to know about some of Dumbledore's suggestions and her plans. From Lucius, he found out a lot of blackmail materials for the man as well as many others. He also learnt about some people who could be useful or needed to be eliminated.
Harry had already been researching Time-turner, Pensieve, Wands, art of magical clothes making, Goblin wards and their thiefs downfall and many other things. But he decided to prioritise Vanishing cabinet over them along with Time-turner. He really wanted to understand time and space better.
\ Bree, try to simulate Vanishing cabinets with multiple connections and different sizes. This thing can be a game changer../ Harry instructed.
\Also print out all the blackmail material from Lucius' profile. It would help when I start becoming politically active from cristmas../ He added.
\ Already done it Harry.. And with the vast knowledge and research you have conducted with Space magic, I have already simulated some working models of vanishing cabinet for various purposes../ Bree reported making Harry very joyful..
