Chapter One: Diagon Alley

A/N : This is the annual trip to Diagon Alley, Fred and George are about start their first year at Hogwarts, and (I think) Charlie is in his last year, and Percy in his second. First chapter is only short, but I hope it will hook you to the story =P. I will try and make the following chapters longer. And will update as often as I can. This is my first (And hopefully one of many) fanfictions so please be nice =D

Fred and George struggled against the strong hold their mother had on their hands, and a package-laden Arthur dawdled behind, clutching Fred and George's things for their first years at Hogwarts, because it wasn't fair for one of them to have Charlie's old things (Charlie was the only other Weasley with the same build as Fred and George) they had to buy two of everything, putting a large dent in the already low funds. Charlie wandered forwards holding his new quill, cauldron, and broomstick for his final year at school. Percy was pouring over his The Standard Book of Spells: Grade Three, bumping into random people. Ron and Ginny were on the verge of tears following their stressed mother, running every few steps to keep up.

"We'll just pop into Gringotts quickly before we go home." Molly said, craning her neck to see past the crowds, trying to catch a glimpse of the famous wizarding bank.

Ginny pulled at Molly's sleeve "Why Mummy? Why are we going? Mummy. Mummy. Mummy! Are we seeing Bill? Mummy!"

"Ginny shhh, your Mother is trying to get us there." Came Arthur's muffled voice from behind the teetering pile of boxes and bags.

Molly lead her family through the chaos that is Diagon Alley, practically dragging the reluctant Fred and George, who were desperately trying to escape, after being denied entrance to Gambol and Japes wizarding joke shop. At long last they came to Gringotts bank. The large pearly white building towered over the Alley, they clambered through the bronze doors and then through the silver ones, entering the lobby. Ron and Ginny, who had never entered before, stared up in awe at the many goblins working simultaneously. Fred and George, who had never been allowed to go in before, stared at the marble floor, and then into each others identical faces, and then back at the floor.

"BILL!" Molly shrieked and ran forwards to embrace her eldest son in a tight hug "How's my little curse breaker?" Bill smiled at his mother and then shook his Dad's hand, dropping many of the packages he had been struggling to hold, the resultant crash forced Molly to turn around, and frowned at Arthur. "Come here Arthur. Not now Ginny" She added as Ginny pulled at her mother's robes, as Molly tried to pile the parcels back into Arthur's reluctant arms. "Ginny – what did I just say?"

"But Mummy, Freddie and Georgie have gone." Ginny sobbed.

"WHAT?" Molly ran forwards causing the newly and carefully arranged packages to topple back to the marble floor.
