-----the next morning-----
As I hurried to the car after waking up late ,my dad started driving before I could even put my seatbelt on,I huffed as my body almost slid across the back of the car as he made a sharp turn out of our drive .
The journey to Diagon Alley wasn't as long as I expected as we pulled up in front of a rather unpleasant looking bar in no less than 30 minutes. Not too long later Dumbledore appeared and led us through the seemingly drunk crowd of adults.
He then led us to the back of the bar where a concrete wall was blocking our paths and I looked up at my mother to see her peering down at me with the same quizzical look that I myself equipped. Not even a second later Dumbledore pulled ,what I had been informed was a wand, from the pocket of his pyjamas- sorry 'robes' and began tapping the bricks on the wall in a sequence until the sound of bricks scraping against each could be heard.
The wall then parted to reveal a crowded street filmed with people dressed similarly to Dumbledore ,as I could only stare in wonder, "Welcome to Diagon Alley ,Miss Y/N"
He handed me a key as we made our way through the alley catching looks as we passed until we reached a place called 'gringotts' Dumbledore said it was a wizard bank and the most 'secure bank in the world' and led me inside, I looked around and saw some kind of the lord of the rings looking creatures behind the tills as we made our way to and empty one.
"We need to go to vault 713" Dumbledore said clearly.The ,what I now learned was a goblin, said as loud as he could "Does Miss Riddle have her key"
Immediately I felt all eyes on me as I presented the small key Dumbledore had given me earlier as we quickly followed the goblin many people around us began saying "it's you-know-who's daughter" and other things which I couldn't quite make out now I was further away.We had to sit in a strange looking cart and just as I sat down it zoomed down, left and right until it finally stopped at a large vault door the goblin held out it's hand as I gave it the key and it rolled its eyes, rude.
He put the key in the vault and twisted it I waited as I heard numerous locks being opened until the door swung open, I was amazed to say the least at how much gold was in there Dumbledore went in a picked up a bag full of gold before heading out.
As we left Gringotts we went to get my school books ,after that we got my equipment for school and my robes fitted.
Now it was time for the last two items on the list, a wand and a pet.To get my wand we went to a shop called Ollivanders. I looked around at the old shop when suddenly a man appeared in front of us with a cheery ,welcoming face. After a brief conversation, he presented 3 boxes in front of me.
"Pick up the wand and flick it" he instructed as I reached for one of the wands holding it so delicately as I didn't want to break it ,I did as he said and a hurdle of boxes flew onto the floor ,I tried the other two only for the same reaction "Hm maybe just..maybe" he muttered and went into the back to find another wand for me to try I looked at the wand in awe as I flicked it in the air and felt energy radiating through me as a red mist surrounded the wand.(picture of wand at the top) "this is one of only two wands ever made with this core, they're a pair " he said ignoring the mess I made in the shop because of the other wands.
I paid him 23 galleons and headed out of the shop, now it was time for the final part of our trip, a pet.
To say I was excited would be an understatement, I was over the moon, I loved pets, but my parents never let me have any but now due to it being for school they finally said yes I already knew what I wanted , a cat, and as soon as I walked into the shop I knew which one I wanted, a white fluffy cat sat there calmly and instantly I knew I wanted it I asked the shop owner how much it was and she told me with fear it was 16 galleons I paid her happily with a smile on my face which made her relax a little then walked out the shop.
Dumbledore looked down at my new animal and smiled then began explaining how cats are lucky creatures.
"I must take my leave but I will see you on Monday Miss Riddle!" he bid his farewell to my parents as we headed in a different directions.
