Realizing everything was still frozen, several devious thoughts crossed Lily's mind.
So many things I could do... Shoplift, pull pranks, get revenge. Who knows when I'll get another chance likes this? Lily thought.
But Lily knew that she shouldn't use this for her advantage. Who knew why it had happened. It was probably some kind of bonus that came with the witch thing, which means she would get into trouble.
Lily focused really hard on everything moving again, and suddenly she heard a splash behind her. Turning, she found the old woman had taken a header directly into a puddle.
"Serves you right!" Lily yelled after her scornfully.
Not wanting to talk to any of the people on this street, she turned around and navigated her way back to Diagon Alley. She immediately found the bank, it was the largest store, towering over the rest.
Inside she found funny creatures in charge of the bank. She assumed they were goblins, they looked just like the things her mother had read to her about in fairy tales.
"Excuse me," Lily said to one of the creatures. "I'd like to exchange some money and open an account."
The goblin nodded, "Ah yes, what will you be exchanging?"
"English pounds," Lily replied, taking out the money once more.
"Very good," the goblin said. "Follow me."
At another desk he took her money and counted it. "Ah, this is the equivalent of one thousand two hundred twenty galleons, six sickles, and two knuts."
"Is that much?" Lily asked.
"It is a healthy amount, indeed. I assume you are going to Hogwarts?" Lily nodded. "It should do well for your supplies."
"Oh, thank you," Lily said.
"Would you like to deposit this today?" he asked.
"Yes," she replied.
"I'll send you with Boltrog. If you need any assistance, my name is Leston." With that, he turned around and left her in the care of Boltrog.
