Ok guys,
This is my very first story…
I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 1: Diagon Alley
Raven Mist looked out of the window in the car seat. She was going to Diagon Alley to buy her things for her first day at Hogwarts. She was very excited about it. Just as the car pulled up at a busy road in London. They got out the car, and Raven smelt the fresh air around her.
"So which way Dad?" Raven asked her father, looking around at the shops around her.
"Ah, it's a wall we need to go to dear, a wall." He replied with a smile on his face at her look of her own face, she was puzzled at what he meant by a wall.
"Ok, we need to make sure we are alone and that there are no Muggles watching us…" Raven's mother whispered so no-one would hear her.
"Right you are. Follow me - Raven, it's a way to Diagon Alley. I went this way on my first day of school. " Her father said to her still confused expression.
"Right, ok…" Raven answered.
They walked past various shops and places, until they reached a little alley. They made their way up to it, but it was a dead end with a wall her Dad was talking about. Raven felt the wall, it was solid brick..
"How are we supposed to get in then? It's solid!" Raven said annoyingly, as she was cramped by the thin path - in the middle of two, tight walls. (She was claustrophobic.) Her father, needn't of answered– as he tapped the walls in a funny order, the top right, (having to stretch up high with support) the bottom right, (bending down and tapping this now) the other two corners, and the middle, and a one two bricks diagonal to the bottom left.
"A funny order, still remember it now—it's pretty easy though, I must admit." Her father explained as the wall opened up, the bricks all moving from the middle to the left and right, almost sticking to the others. Soon, a hole formed.
"Wow!" Raven shouted excitedly. There was all sorts of shops, a shop of owls, Olivander's wands shop, and the next one she saw was a sort of smooth, cream coloured brick and arched building, with large gold letters on it which formed the word 'GRINGOTS'.
"Dad, what's Gringots? " Raven asked.
"Ah, Gringots, the wizarding bank. That says it all. It's much different from a Muggle bank. Lets go there first, I'll show you what I mean. " He explained, as all three of them passed the wand and owl shop.
Gringots was on a corner, you just needed to turn right to see much more shops. Raven looked at the most obvious one, Madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions. She wondered what it would look like inside. But she couldn't look at any more, her parents were through the doors and she needed to follow.
