James, Sirius and Remeus along with their Mum's and Dad's walked down
Diagon Alley up to Gringott's, the bank of the Wizardry world in England.
James's parents had never taken him to Gringots before so he had never seen
a goblin face to face, only on television. There long pointy noses were
like twigs sticking out of their faces. "I wonder if they have ever poked
someone's eye out!" James snickered.
"James! Don't make fun!!" His mom hissed. "Vault 213 if you please."
"Yes and vault 777 after that." Steve Lupin gestured to the goblin.
"Do.........." the goblin started.
"Wait, we need vault 123 after that." Tammy Black interrupted.
"like I was about to say, do you have your keys?" The goblin asked as he raised his voice slightly.
"Why of course, who would come to Gringotts without their key?" Mr Potter questioned.
"Very well, follow me.
They walked down a slender hallway to a mining cart. They sat upon the cold metal seats and were off to vault 123. They handed the 2-foot tall goblin their key and gazed as the 20-foot door creaked as it opened. You could see several stacks of Galleons and Sickels shimmering in the darkness with only light from the lantern on them. Next they went to Lupin's and then their own grabbing what they needed for the day. They were soon back on Diagon Alley heading towards Olivanders.
The three boys walked into the store just to see a man of brown hair but about half of it was pure white. This was Mr. Olivander. "Ello' boys, who should we start off with today?" He asked them.
"I...I...I'll go first." Sirius stuttered.
"Ah, Mr. Black, try this, 8 inches Mahogany, phoenix feather."
With a swish of the wand, several of the lounging chairs were swept into the wind and knocked over behind them.
" Nope! Most certainly not!" Hmmm....thy this one, 12 inches pine and dragon's blood."
Sirius grabbed the wand, gave it a wave, when suddenly red sparks shot out of the end.
"Alas, we have found your match. Which one of you is next?"
"Me, Mr. Olivander," Remeus replied.
"Ah yes, Mr. Lupin, give this one a wave."
Remeus took the wand, gave it a wave, then hundreds of wands were thrown off of the shelves then plopped onto the floor. About seven wands later Remeus finally got his wand, 9 1/2 inches, redwood, unicorn hair.
"Now it is time for us to find Mr. Potter a wand. I believe I know your match. Here, 10 3/4 inches, dragon heartstring, oak. Try it now Mr. Potter."
James overcame with a warm feeling, like the end of the wand was made just for his hand. Then red sparks shot like firecrackers out of the end.
"Yes, my assumption was correct. You're wand has chosen you."
The boys paid Mr. Olivander their fees then strolled out the door. They met up with their parents who were purchasing their books, robes, cauldrons, parchments and quills. The only thing left was an owl for James and Remeus, since Sirus was bringing Crookshanks. Luckily James didn't have to pay for his owl, Pedgewin. His parents wanted him to have an owl so he could owl them everyday. This way they had all the Hogwart's news. The Potter's never trusted school owls since Fredrick's letter from Hogwarts that he sent home when he was a student was intercepted and altered saying that he was expelled.
Remus had also gotten an owl, unlike James's Snowy Owl, Remeus had gotten a barn owl that he named Blumpin.
"What kind of name is Blumpin?" Sirus and James snickered.
"IT's what my granny used to call me when I was just a baby," Remeus answered. "This owl reminds me of her. Blue eyes and brownish white hair, well feathers."
Since they had all of their supplies, they went back home to wait for September the first. For in two weeks they would meet again at King's Cross to go onto platform nine and three-quarters. They soon would arrive at Hogwarts for the first time in there lives.
