Chapter 3
The next morning I awoke in a hurry and took a shower. I was so excited to finally get back to the wizarding world for the first time since school had ended. Happily I slid down the banister and ran into the kitchen and basically inhaled a plateful of pancakes and sausage Grandma had made for me. Grandma laughed to herself in amusement as she watched me eat. After I had gathered up what money I had left from last year and my supply list we left by Floo Powder to Diagon Alley. I smiled seeing the wizarding world once again. As we walked down the alley I looked through all the shop windows. Finally at the end of the alley we had reached our first destination, Gringotts, the wizarding bank.
We walked in to see tall tables full of goblins. We found one who was attending to no one and I handed him my key. "Vault 743." I said following him into the cart. With that said we zoomed off to my vault. Finally when we had reached it he inserted the key in the slot and opened it. I took out 35 galleons, set it in my sack, and allowed the goblin to shut the door again.
I smiled as we stepped out again into the light. Suddenly something caught my eye, the sight of a red-haired girl making her way down the alley toward me. I immediately knew who it was when I saw her.
"Amii, what are you doing here?" I asked her, a bit surprised.
"Well I wrote to Dumbledore this summer and asked if I could come with you to Hogwarts this year. Not to take any classes or anything, just to be there. He said I could." She replied
I swear that day I must have became the happiest man alive. I smiled brightly at her, and without thinking, bent down and gave her a big hug. I thought to myself at that time 'maybe this year won't be so bad'.
