Restoring Diagon Ally
"Harry, wake up." Hermione called frantically. "What is it?" Harry asked. "Read this," Hermione said.
Dear Harry,
Please come to Diagon Ally now. We are prepared to go in and retake it from the remnants of Lord Voldermort. This will be our first strike.
Cornelius Fudge
Hermione gave Harry some toast and a glass of pumpkin juice and Harry quickly changed into his robes. Then they apparated to the pub just outside of Diagon Ally. There were lots of witches and wizards there ready to take back Diagon Alley.
During the new dark times Voldermort had taken Diagon Alley for himself. People had to do there shopping at the Ministry of Magic. "Harry, you are the only one who knows how to crack the code to get in," said Fudge. Harry carefully walked up to the brick wall and took out his wand. He looked for the serpent and found it in the bottom corner of a brick. "Open up to the Alley of power. All the wonderful gold, and strength of evil." Harry slithered. The wall opened. What they saw was horrendous. Instead of the entire place being two alleys (Diagon alley and Nocturne Alley) it looked like only Nocturne Alley.
Everyone quickly started to cleanup. Harry, fudge, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore started heading for Gringottes. During the new dark times Voldermort had kept all the money. When they entered everyone quickly shouted "lumous." Then they yelled "reparo" to fix all the big light fixtures.
"Okay, so lets split up and get into separate carts. We will each collect a load of gold from a different section of Gringottes. Harry; take the deepest levels of the bank. Dumbledore, take the levels right above Harry. Hermione, take the levels above Dumbledore and I'll take the upper levels. Understood?" Everyone nodded except for Ron. "What about me?" Ron asked. "We need you to repair this part of the bank." Fudge said.
When Harry got to his cart he put the special moneybag in and lit the lantern with his wand. He slowly descended to the lowest levels of the bank. He knew that these were the top security vaults and that the goblins had dragons and other sorts of nasty traps down there to keep out intruders.
When Harry got to the lowest level he drove quickly to the far end. Fudge had given him a key that would open every vault down here. Harry was warned to stay hidden while the doors opened or else he would suffer a nasty fate. He opened the first vault and crouched low. A blast of fire blew out and kept on coming. Harry made a swish with his wand and water started spraying out. Harry smoldered out the fire. He took out a strange bag and put it into the special moneybag.
The next vault he opened, and out came a dragon ten feet tall with sharp pointy scales running down it's back. It had green scales and red eyes. Harry pointed his wand at it and out of his wand were very thick fireproof ropes. Harry pulled the dragon into the suction under the tracks. The dragon was gone. Out of this vault Harry pulled out a long and narrow box. He put it into the bag.
The next vault Harry opened and the air around him started to suck him into the vault. Then it stopped. Harry stood up and looked in to see a long narrow tunnel that looked like it had been recently dug out. Harry decided it would be best to go back and tell Dumbledore. Suddenly someone grabbed the back of his robes. When Harry turned around he couldn't see anything. Then the hidden figure took off the invisibility cloak. Harry gasped. Under the cloak was a man with a mask covering his face with dark robes. He was carrying Ron and Hermione all tied up.
"Where's Dumbledore?" Harry shouted. He had a plan but he had to keep the man distracted. The figure was confused. Then suddenly Harry shouted "rictosumpler" and the dark man flew backward and leaving Ron and Hermione on the ground and the figure flying into the suction of the tracks. Harry put is friends into the cart and drove as fast as he could.
Harry found Dumbledore and he immediately sprang into action. "Harry, stay here and I'll be back in a moment," Dumbledore said. Then he pulled out a little figure of Fawkes, the phoenix from his pocket. Then there was a big flash. Harry knew that Dumbledore was going to tell the rest of them to guard the front door. A moment later Dumbledore came back. "Harry, I must take Ron and Hermione to the others, just stay here and I will be back," he said. When he came back he leapt into Harry's cart. "Take me to where you found this figure" he said.
Harry took Dumbledore to the third vault. Dumbledore started crawling through the tunnel and Harry closely behind. When they got to the end they found a small comfy room with about six Death Eaters. Dumbledore and Harry immediately sprang into action tying up all the Death Eaters. In no time they had won. Dumbledore put three drops of truth potion into their mouths. "How many others are there?" Harry asked. "None," one of the Death Eaters replied. "Is they're anything else in this alley we don't know about?" Harry asked. "No," another Death Eater replied.
Dumbledore took out the little phoenix and they all appeared at the entrance of the bank. Ron and Hermione were back to there sense and they greeted Harry. Harry couldn't believe his eyes because Fudge had weird marks on him and was all scratched. He also couldn't believe that the entire alley was back to normal.

It had taken them the rest of the day to get Gringottes at top shape but the goblins had a lot of money sorting to do and records to look at. The death Eaters had all been thrown into Azkaban. Ron and Hermione had recovered fully from their injuries and Diagon Alley would be up and running in one week. They decided to get rid of Nocturne Alley for the benefit of restoring life to the way it was again. Harry walked into Fred and George's Joke Shop.
"Hi Harry. You know what they did to this place? They put a lot of great stuff in here for developing new jokes," said Fred. "Where's George?" Harry asked. "Sorting through our records." Fred snickered. "Well bye then. I have to fill out a report for the ministry." Harry said. Then Harry apparated.
*
When Harry finally apparated back home he saw Hermione standing over a model of Diagon Alley. It worked exactly like the Marauders map. Harry had gotten it in his third year at Hogwarts, except this was much more detailed.
"So how exactly did you get captured by that figure?" Harry asked. "Crept up behind me and tied me up." Hermione said. "How many house elves did we get today?" Harry asked. "What? What do you mean? Hermione asked. "Er. today Fudge showed me your office. There were quite a few house elves in there. Fudge said they were rescued from Diagon Alley." Harry answered. "He said you could start work tomorrow or whenever you want." Harry said. "Really" Hermione said excitedly. "Yeah, all you have to do is be in his office tomorrow morning." Said Harry.
Then suddenly Harry's scar started burning and he heard a voice in his head. "You will pay for freeing Voldermort Alley today Potter." Then his scar stopped burning and he found himself on the floor all drenched in sweat. "Write to Dumbledore" Harry said and went to bed. Hermione frantically started writing a letter. Then Harry fell into a very deep sleep.
"Harry, wake up." Hermione called frantically. "What is it?" Harry asked. "Read this," Hermione said.
