Chapter 2: Goblins and Ollivanders

Taylor blanches, "74?! That's 35 ½ years in the past!"

"You two are from December of 2009?!" Dumbledore asks, eyes twinkling madly.

We nod, both with pale faces. "How did you get here?"

I hand him the paper. He studies it for a second before handing it back to me. "Well, all I can say is the prophecy has began. Now, how about this. You two will come with me today, to get supplies for your... How old are you?"

"15." Taylor whispers, slightly green.

"For your 5th year then. I'll help you prepare for school, so you are caught up with everyone else. Meanwhile, while you are in classes, I'll use free time to study up a way to get you back to the exact moment you left. What day was it?"

"December 10, 2009 at around 8:30 AM." I say.

"Okay, I'll find something to get you back." He says, standing up and walking to his fire place. "Come along." We stand up and walk over to him, less green and pale with the discovery of going home. "Now, take a pinch of Floo powder, throw it into the flames and clearly state Diagon Alley." He instructs. Taylor goes first.

"Diagon Alley." And with a whirl of green flames, he disappears.

I step up next, "Diagon Alley." I feel like I'm spinning uncontrollably. I stumble out of a fire place and into Taylor's arms. I blush and stand up, dusting myself off. Dumbledore follows shortly after and leads us to a gigantic, white marble building, that says 'Gringotts' on it in big, golden letters. Inside, he leads us to a small goblin, or that's what he told us it was, which led us into a small, dark room.

Inside there was a small table with a small bowl and dagger sitting upon it. "Pierce your ring finger, let 2 drops of blood fall into the bowl." The goblin instructs. I step forward and do as he says. The bowl glows white first, then bright blue. The goblin looks shocked as a key appears. It was a bronze key with sapphires embedded into it. The bowl is magically replaced and the dagger is too. Taylor repeats my actions and his bowl, too, glows bright white then red. A ruby-encrusted, golden key appears.

Dumbledore just smiles at us. "Lead the way Griphook." He says politely to the goblin. He nods and leads us out of the room to a new door. Inside there is a cart. We climb in and set off, at a very fast pace, to the lower vaults. It took at least 15 minutes, but once we arrived, we stepped out and looked upon vaults one and two. I grin at Taylor, who in turn smiles back. We step up to our respective doors, me two, him one, and put our keys in the locks and turn. Nothing happens. The goblin behind us chuckles.

"Place your palm on the door while turning the key. It's extra protected and won't open if you don't have the flesh of an heir." Griphook informs us.

Again, we do as he says and the vaults open. Inside the vault is covered, floor to ceiling, with gold, silver, and bronze coins. Dumbledore kindly hands us each a never ending bag and we fill it with what we need.

After Gringotts, we head off to the most needed supply for school, a wand. Dumbledore informed us of magical history as we walked and we listened with rapt attention. History being one of our favorite subjects. Upon waling into Ollivander's, the old man greeted us cheerily.

"New wands?" he asked, his voice very rasp.

"Yes, sir." Taylor replies.

"Hmm, Names?"

"Holly Maloney." I state.

"Taylor Barkley." Taylor adds.

Ollivander nods again. "Yes, okay, wands, wands, wands." he murmurs to himself. Getting on his ladder, he reaches for the top shelf. He pulls out four boxes. "Ladies first."

I step forward.

Ollivander hands me a box. "Try." I wave it, nothing. He takes it, gives me another, and again, nothing. The third he gives me feels warm in my hand and lets off blue sparks. It then glowed bright blue, illuminating the poorly lit room. Ollivander and Dumbledore grin. "A match. Let me see it." He reaches for it and when he takes it, the glow stops. After a minute of inspecting the piece of wood he grins and tells me, "Miss Maloney, this wand is almost a carbon copy of Rowena Ravenclaw's wand. It is 11 ½ inch Holly, ironically, with a unicorn tail hair inside. The unicorn gave 2 hairs, one in this wand, one in Rowena's wand." I grin and pay the required 7 Galleons, gold pieces, for the wand.

Taylor tries next. The sixth wand shoots out red sparks and glows a bright red. After inspecting the wand, Ollivander looks at us suspiciously. "Mr. Barkley, a carbon copy of Godric Gryffindor's wand. 12 ½ inch Apple, with a mermaid hair."

He smiles at me. My breath caught, but I didn't let anyone notice. We leave and go to the other stores we needed to go to. By 4 o'clock PM, we were all starving, so Dumbledore apparated us both back to Hogwarts and we ran up the path to the school. We entered the Great Hall and were greeted with other teachers. Before we could introduce ourselves, Dumbledore cut in. "These two students will be staying with us for the next few months, then joining the student body as 5th years." I smile and wave.
