Harry pulled his cloak over his body and sat on the Firebolt.

"Right Diagon alley here I come!"

He left the ground and began the long journey north to London.

"The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout." He sang to himself as he flew north.

"Down came the rain and washed the spider out!" He flew over a river of lights, which signalised a motorway.

"Out came the sun and dried up all the rain!" He flew lower as he reached the centre of London.

"And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again!" He landed silently outside the Leaky Cauldron; he shrank the Firebolt and put it in his pocket.

"Hey what's that?" he said to himself and pulled out a piece of scrap paper. He shrugged put it back into his pocket and the still wearing his cloak he opened the door of the Leaky Cauldron, and moved inside quickly.

"Who's there?" Came the wheezy voice of Tom the barman. Harry didn't answer. He snuck past him and took out his wand, tapping the correct bricks the door to Diagon alley opened.

"Hello Diagon alley." Harry whispered as he stepped through the entrance.

"First stop – Gringotts!" He grinned and manoeuvred his way through the early morning crowd. "There's a lot of people about -" he glanced at his watch "- at half eight in the morning." He shrugged still wearing the cloak.

"Gringotts there you are!" he said loudly causing a witch who was carrying a small child to look round in his direction. Harry laughed quietly. "Oops. Obvilate." The spell hit both mother and child who looked a bit dazed for a while and Harry snuck past them into the bank.

He walked over to one of the desks.

"I want to take some money out of my vault please." He said to the goblin that was sitting behind the desk in front of him. He was still wearing his cloak.

"Do you have a reason to be wearing an invisibility cloak Mr Potter?" it asked him.

Harry nodded, "I'm Harry Potter. Everyone'll recognise me – which I don't want so -" he held a finger to his lips "- shhh. Don't tell anyone I came by please."

The goblin nodded, "Do you have your key?"

Harry nodded again and handed him the tiny gold key.

"Very well, follow me Mr Potter." The goblin took off down one of the tunnels to a cart and Harry followed.

Once inside the cart Harry took the hood of the cloak down – there was no point in keeping it up the wind would have blown it down anyway.

The path was as twisting and winding as he remembered it from the last time. And just like last time they stopped out side his vault. He climbed out of the cart with slightly shaking legs and moved over to join the goblin at the door of his vault. He pulled the hood up again and waited for the door to open.

Once inside he collected a large amount of Galleons, Sickles and Knuts – enough to last him in his holiday journey and the school year.

Once he had enough he climbed back into the cart the goblin shut the door of the vault and they began the journey back up to the ground floor. His hood had blown down just as he had expected and so when they stopped at the top of the rails he quickly pulled it back up again.

"Excuse me – Mr Goblin" he said to the goblin who had turned and begun to walk away.

"Yes?" it asked turning round to face him again.

"I want to change some of this into muggle money." He grinned.

"Okay follow me then." The goblin set off and Harry followed closely behind it. The goblin led him to a desk and it moved to the other side of it.

"How much do you want in Sterling?" it asked.

"Um. . . a lot. How about the equivalent to 20 Galleons?" he placed the said amount on the desk and the goblin looked at him.

"That will be £347.56 in muggle money."

Harry who knew a little about the muggle currency – knew that that was a lot and let out a long low whistle.

"Okay. Thanks." The goblin took the galleons and handed Harry a wad of £20, £10, £5 notes as well as a handful of loose change. Harry pulled out his wand and pointed it a piece of scrap paper that he had found in his pocket. Muttering a few words the piece of paper turned into a sleek black leather wallet. In which he then put all his muggle money. His wizarding money was stored in the dragon skin pouch he had attached to his waist.

"Thank you Mr Goblin."

The goblin nodded and Harry left Gringotts.

"Okay then Harry – where now?" Harry grinned and still hidden under the cloak made his way back to the Leaky Cauldron. Under the Invisibility Cloak Harry was waving his wand – transforming his black robes into those of jeans and a t-shirt. Once done he hid in an alley way and took off the cloak shrunk it and put it into his pocket along with his trunk and Firebolt. The wallet of muggle money was in the other one along with the pouch of wizard coins.

He left the alley way and began his own mini tour of muggle London.
