'Ello. My name's Felicity Joubert Riddle and I'm from Durham, England. I'm 11 years of age and I attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I never knew I was a witch, and neither did my Aunt Grace or my cousins, Sammeth and Vivian. I recieved the letter a few days after my birthday, August 18, and since then, my family has been avoiding me. Sammeth and Vivian would constanty pick on me. I've never felt so lonely before, and even worse, I don't know how to cry. I begged my aunt to let me go to the school and she simply ignored me and muttered, 'Just like your parents' under her breath. I never even knew my parents, William and Edith. All I knew that my aunt was the sister of my mother and I only knew my father's parents, Allen Riddle and Diane Redwood. I knew nothing more. And I never understood how they died. I know they died on October 31st, including my father's parents and their gardener. My aunt told me because of a car accident, sometimes from a burning house, or even falling off a cliff, which is pretty much hard to believe. All of those people died in one day and I knew something was off. I got tired of all these lies, so I finally made a decision. I decided to run away because I really wanted to go to this school and find out more about my past. It was about 12:30 in the afternoon on the 31st of August. I packed all of my belongings and left a note on the kitchen table saying that I had gone to a friend's house and would be sleeping over for a few days untill school started, which was September 3rd. I'd call them to pick me up. I walked a few blocks and rested at the bus stop. I checked my pocket and I had at least a $10.00 dollars. The bus came and I was on my way. In the bus, people were looking at me. Well because of my big bag of course. I ignored them and minded my own business. I arrived at Edinburgh and got off.
The thing that confused me the most was the school supplies. I had no idea where to look. I looked every where and I couldn't find a single store. But something came up. I thought to myself. Maybe the store is hidden somewhere where people can't see it. I ran to the front of a store and sat on the stairs. I started thinking. I looked as if I were lost, but I didn't care. I wasn't anyway. And when people asked where my parents where, I just told them, "blue," so they would know that I don't understand them. Or at times I would ignore them. Then suddenly, out of no where, a giant passed by me. A giant and a boy with him about my age. I've never seen one before, and to my amazement, they entered a store. A store that I didn't see when I first got here. It was black and inbetween two other stores. I noticed that people simply walked by it, not even noticing it. I quickly stood up and carried my luggage I walked over to the store and looked up. I couldn't make out the store's name, but I went in anyway. I got inside, and I looked at everyone. They were all talking away and laughing. For some reason, this felt like my home.
I saw a door and started walking towards the back, but suddenly a man had stopped me. He had light brown hair with hazel eyes, and he was light skinned. He was about 5'2 and he was wearing a red plaid shirt with brown pants. He smoked his pipe and asked in a stern voice,
"Where yer goin missy?"
"Umm...I'm supposed to look for school supplies..s-s-sir." I replied. I took out my letter and showed it to him. While he read, I looked around and noticed the room was completely silent. I heard some of them whisper 'muggle' here and there. I haven't a clue what that had meant.
"Ah! Yer suppose to be in Diagon Alley," he said in a more calmer tone. Everyone let out a sigh and the chattering started up again. I fel more comfortable. I followed the man to the back of the room and out through the door, which was the on I saw earlier when I came in. We stepped outside and I saw a brick wall. Before he did anything, he stuck his hand out and said,
"I never introduced myself. I'm Grander Felbin."
I took it and replied,
"Felicity. Felicty Riddle."
His pipe nearly fell out of his mouth.
"Riddle, eh?"
"Yes, Sir."
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face and neck. He started act really nervous. He kepy muttering something, but I couldn't make out anything. He then took out a stick, which looked much like a wand, and hit the brick wall four times in a circle. All of a sudden, the brick wall opens and I see hundreds of witches and wizards just like me. We exchanged our thank you's and I grabbed my luggage and started walking. I turned around to wave at him and he waved back, but his face still had that look of concern. "Did I do something to him and not know it? Was I doing something wrong when I first came in?" I asked myself a couple of times. It all left when I saw the giant and the boy again. They were walking towards a very tall building that said at the top: Gringott's Bank
"I'm guessing that's a bank," I said as I rubbed my eye. I passed many stores and shops with all kinds of supplies. I can't wait to get all of those things! I said excitedly. The one store that really caught my eyes was a broom store. It was long and brown. It was displayed on the side of the entrance and kids about my age crowded around to admire it.
I finally arrived in front of the bank and went along inside. Once again, I saw the giant and the boy and they were following a really short man. A goblin maybe. It didn't surprise me for some reason. They followed the goblin through a door and disappeared. A voice suddenly made me jump.
"May I help you?" said a light grumpy voice. I turn around to see a goblin who was at least half the size of me. I look down upon him and ask,
"Um...I don't really know where to start." I said shyly.
He nodded and and went behind the counter. He asked what my last name was and I said, "Riddle." He looked through the papers. He asked if I had anyone with me. I had said no, and he said that's fine. He said to follow him and we went through the door, which was also the same one I saw the giant and the boy go through.
It looked like there were a bunch of railroad tracks put together like a rollercoaster. I saw different cars go by with a blur. One appeared right in front of us and we both got in. I held on to my luggage and the car started out slow, as it picked up speed. We were going really fast. After about three minutes, we came to a complete stop. We got out and I was a bit dizzy, but able to keep myself up. The goblin said,
"This is yours. Number 287," he ran his finger down the slot. When the door opened, all I saw was pure gold. I saw gold, silver, and bronze coins. The goblin gave me a bag. I didn't know how much each were worth and I didn't know where to start, so I just took a handful of each. I didn't want to act greedy, so I asked the goblin if this were too many.
"Of course not. You'll need that," he ended with a smile. He gestured me towards the car once again. I sat down and held my things.
