A New Friend

I searched the crowded street till I spied her using the arm of a rather larger man. His arm could have been a bench from the size of it. She had her left arm circling his neck going up underneath his burly beard and her other hanging on to the front of him.

She was babbling, but he seemed content to listen and add into the conversation. I observed a young boy near my age walking besides them. He wasn't engaging in the conversation, for he seemed awestruck by the environment. I'm guessing he is a first timer in Diagon Alley. It Is impressive here, specially to knew eyes.

Madam Giselle had noticed them too, we were making our way through the crowd in their direction.

"Thank you, good sir" Madam Giselle said to the rather large man as she collected Hannah from his large arms and than placed her on the ground.

Henry and Hannah immediately headed towards the ice-cream shop that we were currently standing near. Little Emily following after them after Madam Giselle told them to stay in her eye site.

We both pulled our attention back to the unknown man, who gave us a friendly smile and than said. "No problem, me and the little lady were just having a fine conversation about how nice the weather is today."

After introductions, I found that his name is Hagrid and that he was the gatekeeper for Hogwarts. He seemed to've forgotten the boy, so I brought it upon myself to introduce myself, while Hagrid and Madam Giselle carried on with their friendly conversation.

I reached my hand out, and said "hi, my name is Perseus Black and you are?" It took him a moment to realize I was speaking to him, but when he did, he held out his hand and grasping mine with a light handshake and than said, "Nice to meet you, my name is Harry Potter."

I couldn't help, but gaze at him in shock, I knew that my mouth was gaping like a cod fish, but I had momentarily lost the ability to shut it. Standing before me was the Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the one everyone gossiped about. Thankfully he didn't seem to recognize who I am, or mainly my last name because that my father is supposedly the one who had betrayed his parents, I believe it's all rubbish though.

After we exchanged a few kind words, Hagrid drew his attention back towards me and asked if I would care to join him and Harry, for they were on their way to Gringotts bank when they had met up with Hannah and still had some business to take care of there. I looked towards Madam Giselle and when she gave me a nod I joined Harry and Hagrid as we made our way back into the crowd.

I stared up at Gringotts bank in amazement along with Harry. This was both our first time here, I hadnt been because madam Giselle wouldn't let me open my vault until I started school, she instead paid for all my needs up until now, and Harry hadn't been because he hadn't known our world existed.

We made our way through the front door into a room that had another door that we had to pass through. Engravings carved into the door inscribed.

'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.' Jk Rowling

I gulped Pushing open the door for the three of us to enter thru. It opened up into a room with two long rows of desks facing towards the aisle and a podium at the end. I knew about goblins working at Gringotts, but to see the goblins Sitting at the desks working is still shocking, it was my first time ever seeing one, and I didn't know what to expect.

I overheard, Harry say, "Hagrid, what exactly are these things?" Hagrid than replied "they are goblins Harry. Clever as they come goblins are not the most friendly of beasts. Stay close." I nodded in agreement to Hagrids reply.

We reached the goblin at the front desk, Hagrid spoke ignoring the glare he was receiving, "Mr. Harry Potter and Mr. Perseus Black wish to make a withdrawal." I automatically stepped back when the goblin leaned over the podium to look down at the two of us.

The goblin than said, "and does Mr. Harry Potter and Mr. Perseus Black have their keys?" I pulled mine from my pocket while Hagred fished in his pockets for Harry's key.

I watched as Hagred pulled an envelope from his pocket and said, "Oh, and there is something else as well. Professor Dumbledor gave me this." He passed the envelope to the goblin and than said, "it's about, you know what, in the vault you know which." I looked over at Harry to see him giving me a confused look.

"Very well." The goblin replied. We are than taken into another room where we saw what looked like a train track, I watched as a goblin cart pulled up and than we all hopped aboard.

The first stop was Harry's vault 687 where he collected the amount of money that he would need for the year plus some extra. My vault wasn't far away. When we opened my vault I suprised to see piles after piles of knuts, sickles, and galleons. I took what I would need for the year plus some and put it in a bag that the Goblin had given to me.

Our next stop was 713. We both tried to see what Hagrid was doing, but it was no use because he had his back to us and the goblin wouldn't allow us to follow in after him.

We finished up our business at the bank and than headed off to our next adventure.
