Chapter 4

Tom got up and looked out of the window.

There was a grubby looking building with a sign at the top reading 'The Leaky Cauldron.

"Okay! Get in a single file line!" commanded Arnie. "Starting with her."

Arnie pointed to the girl whose bed was across from Tom's. She had blond hair, and she was in a stunning red dress. She stepped up to the door of the bus and Tom went right behind her.

Arnie opened the door, walked down the steps, and got off the bus. He waited for everyone else to do likewise before leading them into the Leaky Cauldron.

Inside Tom saw that the Leaky Cauldron was a pub. It seemed a little less grubby than it did from the outside.

Arnie walked to the brick wall on the right side of the pub and pulled out his wand. With it he tapped on the wall-the third brick from the right to be exact-and there became a huge opening.

He again led them through it. Once everyone was in he raised his hand to get their attention.

"You are now in Diagon Alley. You will go to Gringotts to exchange your Muggle money for wizard money, then to the shops to buy your supplies."

Tom raised his hand. "What if we don't have Muggle money?" he asked nervously. He couldn't get this far to not have enough money.

Arnie scrunched up his face as if he were thinking. "What's your name, kid?"

"Tom Riddle."

Arnie read a long piece of parchment that had been folded up in his pocket..

"It says here that you already got a Gringotts account."

That was a very pleasant surprise for Tom, and he was very relieved.

"Gringotts is over there," Arnie said pointing to a very large building. "I'll be back in the Leaky Cauldron, if you need me. When you're done, just meet me there."

At that, Arnie turned around and walked back into the pub.

All of the kids, except for Tom, practically ran over to Gringotts, wanting to be the first in line. They were stopped in there tracks about fifty yards away. Many astonished gasps could be heard.

The children had discovered that Gringotts was run by goblins. They were bright green, with pointed ears and black hair that was slicked back. They had the longest fingers that Tom had ever seen.

Tom walked over to the 'Withdrawals/Deposits' window.

"May I help you?" asked the goblin teller.

"Um, I'm trying to withdraw some money from my account."

"Name?"

"Tom Riddle."

The goblin went opened up a drawer and pulled out a key.

"Come with me please." The goblin opened a door on the side of the tellers' station and Tom walked through it. He was led down a long dark hallway.

After about two minutes of walking, the goblin grabbed a lighted lantern off of the side of the wall. It lid up the place. The hallway had seemed to turn into a cave. There was a large cart on a small railway.

"Get in," the goblin commanded.

Tom got in the back half of the cart and the goblin got in the front.

All of a sudden, the cart swung into action, at an extremely fast speed. Up to this point, the fastest thing that he had ever been on was the Knight Bus, which, compared to this cart ride, looked pale in comparison.

After what had seemed like a short time of abrupt turns, ups, and downs, the carts stopped in front of a large vault. The goblin got out of the cart. He pulled the keys out of his pocket and unlocked the vault.

Inside were stacks of gold, silver, and bronze coins. Tom rushed into it.

He gathered as many coins that could fit into his money pouch, which was a lot more that he had expected. This was more money than he had ever had in his life. On the cart ride on the way back, he could have sworn that the extra weight slowed it down.
