THE GIRL WHO COULD SEE HOGWARTS

Chapter 4:

"Gringotts first?" Dumbledore asked Nancy, Nancy nodded.

"can I ask you a question?" Stacy asked.

"Of course" her mother answered

"What is Gringotts?"

"Oh Gringotts is the safest wizarding bank in the whole of England no one would be as unwise to enough to rob it" Nancy said gushing, she was getting back into the swing of things, after getting used to the fact her daughter was one of 'the' pentad.

"Um, mum? Do you have any money? I mean with you?"

"Of course" replied Nancy. But she said this with a grimace, she did have sum, but not much.

"Stacy's position in the pentad has allowed her to have her own account for years maybe even centuries, so you needn't worry about money"

"So how do I access it?" demanded Stacy, she felt like screaming!

"Well you are supposed to know your own number deep in your mind"

"Um sir, I have absolutely No idea what your talking about and I am starting to get…"

"First of all it is Professor or Dumbledore, second of all think of any number in the whole world and thirdly please try and keep your temper you may never know what could happen if an untrained pentad member lost her temper."

"Ok the number is 307 that is all I am thinking about"

"Well than that is your number we'll have to get there through mine carts than, so off we go" said Dumbledore

"Oh I hate this part" muttered Nancy.

The goblin who took them to Stacy's vault seemed very excited and was almost bouncing out of the cart as he climbed out and said,

"Sir here we are vault 307, I'll get out and open the door shall I?"

"Um I guess" Stacy muttered

"Very well" added Dumbledore

The door opened and Stacy looked beyond it, there were mountains and mountains of gold, and it was all hers. Dumbledore helped her put some of it into a pouch and said

"That should do you for this year"

Back to the cart they went and didn't say anything until they were back in the golden sunshine of the outdoors.

"To the book store" said Dumbledore happily

And they walked over to the bookstore flourish and blots, Nancy whimpered, and muttered something about a good strong drink before walking over to a nearby café.

"Ok the book list, ah I know I have it here somewhere" Dumbledore was mumbling and searching through his coat, a piece of paper fluttered to the ground and Stacy picked it up. It had written on it,'1ST years would need to get these books'

"Dumbledore, here is the booklist"

"Ah yes so it is off we go eh?" Dumbledore looked as if he was enjoying himself and walked through the arched walkway to the store, he was greeted by a short plump little wizard who had very deep brown eyes and frizzy hair.

"Professor Dumbledore sir, how may I help you?"

"Hello frank, how are you? I am here to get a stack of books for this first year, her name is Stacy."

"Hi Stacy, aren't you a bit late to get these books?"

"Yes she is but the owl got intercepted on the way to fetch her, and she never received her notice."

"Oh, well here you are dear, I suppose you are off to get your robes?"

"Yes, I think" replied Stacy and waved good bye to frank as Dumbledore walked out the door saying something about a silly man who has nothing better to do than bother other wizards, whether he was talking about frank Stacy wasn't sure.

At madam Malkins Stacy tried on her black robes and got them fitted, she also got some dress robes, although she didn't need them. They were a green colour with flecks of blue and some of grey; the colour of her eyes matched them perfectly. When Stacy had payed for her robes and put on her dress ones, she and professor Dumbledore, went to Ollivanders to get Stacy's wand, it was made of willow, it had a single hair from a unicorn tail and was gentle, wispy and perfect for enchantments.

As Stacy and Dumbledore walked away from Ollivanders, Dumbledore checked the list and said

"I can summon the rest of these things to the castle so, Stacy would you like a pet?

"What pet, can I get Dumbledore?"

"Well you can get a toad, an owl or a cat, most of the children this year have owls or cats, which do you want?"

"Can I decide when we get to the pet store, maybe my power of love will help me chose?"

"Of course, here we are"

They walked in to a pet store called 'magical beasts and pets for all occasions' and Stacy was startled, there were so many different animals, but Dumbledore headed towards and isle marked 'Hogwarts pets'

Once there, Stacy ran towards the cats but somehow turned, it was that invisible string again, it pulled her towards the owls and into a cage that held a beautiful snowy owl, with about five different black signs on it, but the one that Stacy could identify was the large love heart on its wing, it was gorgeous.

"Dumbledore, this is the pet I want"

"Ok Stacy"

One of the assistants walked over and shuddered

"This owl miss? She is a bit of a handful, won't let no one touch her, she wont."

Suddenly Stacy heard a voice, it was a very posh sort of voice only belonging to people who call their friends 'Dahling'

"Well maybe not you, you pathetic human"

"Dumbledore," whispered Stacy "can you hear that voice?"

"No Stacy, but I believe it was your owl, she is a pet of the pentad" he whispered back

"Un owl, do you want me to buy you?"

"What you can hear me?"

"Yes of course, so do you want to belong to me?"

"You must be the pentad member of Light, yes buy me I am your rightful pet"

"Yes sir I want this owl, please sell her to me"

"Ok miss, but you'd better get her out, she doesn't like me very much, she doesn't."

So Stacy put her arm in the cage and said to the owl.

"Come on lady, I won't hurt you"

"Dear girl my name is not lady. But if you wish to call me this then so be it"

So Stacy payed for her owl and Dumbledore, led her out of the shop and said.

"What will you call her?"

"Arwyn"

"Where did you get that name from?"

"I don't know, but I like it"

"OK … it's a nice name"

"Where to now? Can we go to that café? I want a drink!"

"You may go and have a drink with your mother, I on the other hand must get back to the school, when you return to Hogsmade can you kindly forward up to the school?"

"Sure" Dumbledore disappeared with a faint pop, and Stacy walked over to her mother who was conversing with another lady.

"Ah Stacy there you are … this is an old school friend, Amy meet my daughter Stacy"

"Hiya Stace … my daughter's at school this year, her name is Chantal. She's in Ravenclaw, which was my old house, which one do you believe you will be in?"
"Uh … Ravenclaw … it sounds good" Stacey replied.
"Well Amy, we really must dash, here's my floo, come over sometime" Nancy stated handing Amy a piece of paper with "Flower Palace" written on it.
"will do, see you" and with that Amy kissed Stacey and her mother on the cheek and walked off towards the robe shop.
Nancy grabbed her daughters hand and before Stacey knew what was happening Diagon alley had vanished and she was standing at the gates of the vast castle she knew so well.
"come Stacey, we have to go find Dumbledore, and get you sorted" her mother said

** ten minutes later **

Stacey and her mother reached Dumbledore's office and knocked on the gargoyle. It opened and in they walked, up the spiral staircase and in through the oak door.

"Ah Stacey, its time to sort you, please sit, and you'll be done in no time" said Dumbledore, rather cheerfully.
