Chapter 4
"Yeah, so where are we going to get this money? For our stuff ? Chad asked.
"Yer have money in Gringotts. Didn't think that yer father would leave yer pennyless, did yer?" Hagrid said.
"Um, will this make me lose my lunch? Chad asked, tentivaly.
"You mean breakfast. Already becoming senile?" Renee quipped.
"You can su-" Chad started to say, but he was cut off as they reached Gringotts.
The bank was huge. Made of gray stone and large stairs. Chad was in awe at how big the bank was. Inside there was a marble floor, and large marble statues. There were large wooden desks with old goblins.
They walked to the front desk, and saw a shrivled green goblin. The goblin had white wispy hair and long knarled fingers.
"Yes?" the goblin asked.
"I'm here to draw money from. . . . . " he lowered his voice several decibles, "the Kelisto account."
Immediatly the goblin put down his quill, and stepped down from the high desk. He looked over Renee and Chad, before speaking again.
"These are them?" he asked.
"Yes," Hagrid answered.
"Bill!! Come here," the goblin yelled it's voice unusually high and shrill.
A tall lean red headed man came into the room. He had a bright red apple in his hand and was cutting it with a knife.
"Yeah?"
"I need you to open vault 221."
"221? Isn't that. . . . ."
"Yes. BE careful. Don't touch the vault, you remember the consequences."
Bill shrugged his shoulders and lead the three of to a dark tunnel. The tunnel was pitch black and there was a steep hill with railroad tracks on it. The mine cart stood alone, with only a lantern as light.
Chad took one look at the mine cart, and decided that he was going to leave. He was half way to the exit when a rough hand grabbed the back of his shirt collar. He turned around and saw Hagrid bringing him back to the cart. He set Chad into the cart first.
"Why can't Renee just go?" he asked whinning.
"Because this is going to be fun. And you need to live a little any way. Think of this as a rollercoaster," Renee answered.
"Did you know that you have pointed ears?" Bill asked.
"Yeah. They are like elf ears. My parents always told me it was a birth defect," Chad said.
"Yeah," Renee said.
"Are you sure that this is safe?" Chad asked.
"Yes. I've been using it for awhile now," Bill said, as he pulled the lever.
This sent them flying. The wind whipped at their faces like whips on a dogs back. The familer feeling of your stomach falling, and not knowing what you were going to find, was all there. The cart shuddered and then came to a complete stop. Renee and Bill were the only to that looked normal. They stepped off the cart, and walked like the usually would.
Chad on the other hand, flung himself to the had cold concrete floor, and began to kiss it. He stopped for a moment, and turned a dark shade of green. He sat up striaght and covered his mouth with his hand.
Hagrid on the other hand, never moved from his spot. He was a light shade of green.
"And that people is why I don't eat breakfast," Renee said grinning., "I didn't feel the need to puke at all."
Chad slowly removed his hand from his mouth and said, "I didn't puke, so shut up."
"No, you're right, you didn't puke. But green isn't you r color."
Chad was about to say something else when Bill spoke up.
"Normally only goblins could open vaults. But you are special. I need you to run your fingers lightly in the middle of the vault."
They did as asked and the vault sprang open. Inside the vault there was gold, silver, and bronze piled to the ciling. Renee looked around in awe. This was more money that she had ever seen. Hagrid went in a collected all that they needed. Soon they went back to the the bank and continued to make there way through Diagon Alley.
Everything went off with out a hitch, except when they went to the book store, and Mr.Ollivanders .Chad had insisted that they buy a book that included four thousenad ways to prank your friends. When Hagrid saw this he just a bout had a fit.
Chad showed him the title as if that was reason enoguh.No matter how many times Hagrid tried to talk him out of it Chad would keep showing him the book title. Finally Renee got tired of this and snatched the book from Chad's hands and bought it for him. Hagrid shook his head, and sighed.
Then when they were at Mr.Ollivanders, they began to try wands. When Chad tried his first wand it made Mr. Ollivander have a third eye. Then Renee started to rumage through boxes and held up a wand.
This wand was made of strong wippy willow and engraved on it there was a ring and a bow and arrow. Next to that wand there was another just like it. She picked one up and spoke.
"Stupify!!" she yelled.
This caused Chad to stop what he was doing and he became as stiff as a board. She handed him the other wand. Suddenly they both glowed a brillian pale yellow. Mr. Ollivander shrugged his shoulders, as if to rid himself of a chill.
"Um, that will be uh, six galleons a piecce. Odd wands you have. Odd wands you have," he said.
They paid for their wands and stopped at the pet shop. In there they found two snakes, that were very similar. The only exception was that the blonde green stripped snake had red eyes. Renee bought that one and Chad the other.
By the time they had finished their shopping and had arrived at Hogwarts, it was already dinner time.Chad had managed to put his stuff in his dormitory, and his snake had snuggled deep into the blankets. Renee on the other hand, brought her snake down with her. She had forgotten she was stillon her shoulders.
