"Where to first?"
"Gringotts, then we are going to meet some of the Weasley's, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Hagrid."
We walked to Gringotts in the empty streets of Diagon Alley. It was odd seeing nobody rushing about minding their own business, and no first years jabbering excitingly, looking at all the cool stuff in the windows of the stores. There was none of the usual cheeriness. Not a single mouse was even roaming the streets. Gringotts was the same as I remembered it. The goblins counting galleons, sickels, and kunts. We walked over to the large desk at the far end of the hall, where a goblin was sitting. "I am here to open the student loans vault." Dumbledore said taking out a small golden key.
"Right this way," the goblin took us to a small four person cart. The cart looked like it belonged on a old rickety roller coster. Going down a dark tunnel with only a single light, it was amazing that the goblin knew when to stop. "Light please. Key please." The goblin unlocked the vault. "Please stand back." Inside was a mountain of gold, silver, and bronze coins.
"Take as much as your pockets can hold." Professor Dumbledore told me. I filled my pockets to their brims. "Now we must meet Hagrid. He will take you to get your school supplies."
Leaving Gringotts, I saw a giant figure up ahead, Hagrid.
"Ah, look, there's Hagrid."
"Hi there Professor Dumbledore!" Hagrid said waving a dust bin lid sized hand.
"Hello Hagrid. This is Murtagh Thorn. He will be accompanying you today."
"Hello!" Hagrid said grinning widely.
"Nice to meet you." Under my breath I added, "again."
"Well I must take my leave now. See you later Murtagh, Hagrid."
"Bye Professor."
"Bye!"
"Hey! Harry, Ron, Hermione! Over here!"
"Hi Hagrid! Who's this?" A boy that looked like James Potter said, "I'm Harry Potter. This is my friend Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Murtagh Thorn."
"Lets go get our supplies. Murtagh, what year are you going into?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Um... sixth year."
"Okay. Author, Ginny, and I will go get the books and potions supplies, and Hagrid you can take the others to get robes and the other stuff they need. In about two hours meet us outside Fred and Georges shop."
So we went and got our robes. And we had a little encounter with Draco Malfoy. Malfoy had called Hermione a Mud blood. Ron and Harry got really mad at this and pulled out there wands. After that we were shooed out after buying our robes and went to get me a wand. Little did we know, Olivanders was trashed.
"This is not right."
"What is it Murtagh?"
With out answering Hermiones question, I ran over to Olivanders, the other followed. When I arrived the wand shop looked as though it had been robbed or attacked. Hermione came by my side and gasped "What happened here?"
"Mr. Olivander?" Harry called into the dark abandoned shop. When no one answered I carefully stepped inside. The floor boards creaked beneath my feet. Wands were strewn everywhere, the shelves were nearly empty. I went to the spot where the old store owner said my wand would be, thankfully it was still there. Mr. Olivander said that he would keep my wand safe no matter what. I grabbed the box and it was still in one piece, it had also been polish so it looked brand new. I took out fifty galleons and placed them in the box.
"Ye found yer wand in that mess? How?"
"Easy, I tried a few of the ones on the floor and then looked up at the shelves and saw this one. I gave it a wave and it glowed. And yes I did pay."
