Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Harry Potter.
The Knight Bus stopped with a bang outside of the Leaky Cauldron, effectively throwing one Harry Potter out of his bed. The now wide-awake 15 year old sat up slightly dazed but otherwise fine. As he was going back to his bed he heard Stan over the loud speaker announce that they had arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. Sighing, the 15 year old got up and grabbed his trunk and owl cage and headed down stairs with Hedwig flying over his shoulder.
Downstairs Harry jumped off the knight bus onto the street and headed to the door of the Leaky Cauldron. When he entered he walked towards Tom, the barkeeper and asked for a room for the night and he would pay tomorrow. When Tom agreed Harry followed him to room number 17 where he walked in dropped his stuff. After doing so he jumped on his bed and promptly fell asleep.

"SILENCE," Dumbledore yelled at the collected group of order members.
"We are not here to argue with each other over whose fault it was, we are here to ensure the safety of Harry." He continued. "Now Tonks could you please repeat your story so the whole order can hear?"
"Yes sir, well it started out with me sitting under an invisibility cloak guarding Harry's house when he just rushed outside with all of his belongings, which looked to be still unpacked. After a strong gust of wind blew him over he signaled the knight bus and got on." Said Tonks.
"Why didn't you just stop the little runt before he got on the bus?" Severus Snape asked snidely.
"Because Snape I didn't want to use magic that the ministry would detect and have them figure out what happened." She replied trying to keep her anger in check.
Softly Dumbledore spoke for the first time after the tale, "You did the right thing Tonks." Then added, "It is already late tonight we will start search parties for him tomorrow but for now everybody go home and get some rest."

The next morning a refreshed Harry Potter jumped out of bed and threw his clothes on. Grabbing his wand he headed out to Diagon Ally. Deciding to get breakfast later he headed straight towards Gringotts. When Harry finally reached the great white building he headed to an available Goblin.
"May I please make a withdraw?" Harry politely asked.
Grunting the goblin replied, "Key please."
"Here you go." Harry said after handing the unknown goblin his key.
After studying the key for a few seconds the goblin yelled, "Bingol take Mr. Potter to his vault please."
The goblin Bingol rushed up and told Harry, "This way please."
After following Bingol through a long hallway Harry found himself in a rickety cart heading towards his vault. After a bumpy ride he finally made it there where he wobbled out of the cart and handed Bingol his key. As Bingol inserted his key Harry made his way inside and started stuffing his sack with galleons.
After his sack was full Harry decided to take a look around in his vault. Deciding to start in the back he jumped up and over a large pile of galleons and made his way to the back wall. Reaching it he examined his wealth. It actually wasn't that much Harry decided when he realized that in the back it was mostly suckles and knuts and only in the front were Galleons. Deciding to find out how far to the floor he was, as he had nothing better to do Harry started digging his way towards the floor. After about 5 minutes Harry had dug about 2 feet and had just reached the floor.
As Harry looked down he noticed on the floor it was bumpy rather than flat. Thinking that was a rather odd occurrence Harry pushed away the remaining money in a 3-foot circle. When he finished he was left with a circle, which had another circle within it every inch apart, and in the center was a circle that was completely black gem. Running his hand over the black gem Harry was able to let out a short scream before he went careening down the whole that had appeared after touching the stone.

High above in a large office sat a goblin staring intently at a stone that was glowing. "So it begins he whispered."
*~*
Back down below Harry Potter was shooting down a passageway on what appeared to be a huge slide, reaching speeds above what the gringotts carts could ever achieved. After what felt like an eternity to Harry his decent started to even out before coming to a flat track where he slowed down to a stop after about 3 miles.
Shaking from such a fright Harry got up and surveyed his surroundings. He was in a massive room at least 100 yards in length. Yet what surprised him was that there was nothing in it except for 5 doors. After figuring there was nothing else to do he headed to the double doors, which were the only ones on the far side of the rooms walls.
Arriving there he pried open the massive oak doors at least 30 feet tall and was meet with a sight he couldn't believe.
Sorry that was pretty short but I've been gone for like 1 month and decided I should at least write a short chapter.
