" So this is Diagon Ally" Leo stated.
"Wow, just look at all of these shops!" Pep said in awe. There were tons of shops all along the street. One that particularly stood out was called Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, what by the looks of it, was a joke shop. It had brightly colored signs covering the store front windows that were advertising several different things. From ordinary muggle tricks to Skiving Snackboxes to trick wands. "I want to go there!" She said point to the store.
"WE will, but first lets get some money at the bank." Said Leo leading them to a fairly large building, okay who am I kidding? It was huge. Once they got inside nobody could help but look around. As if reading their minds Leo spoke up. "Yes, they are goblins." He went up to a desk where a goblin was sitting. "Hello, I would like the key for the Halliwell safe please. The password is orb." The creature got up and fumbled though a couple of drowers to find the key then gave it to leo.
"Fallow me" said a goblin who had pointer ears then the last one, but also had nice looking clothing. He took them to a mining cart. "Please take a seat" he told the hesitating witches. The cart took off at an alarming fast speed. When it finally stopped the goblin wobbled out of the cart. "Key please" He asked. When the goblin opened up the vault reavelaling large piles of gold that reached the top of the cealing everyone took a large intake of air.
"How do we have all of this gold?" asked Wyatt who was looking awe-struck.
"Well, some Halliwells have had spouses who belonged in this world or some have actually lived in this world and every generation it just gets handed down witch to witch." Explained Leo.
"Here are some bags for you to put your belongings in." The goblin reached inside his robe and drew out large maroon bags with gold draw strings. Everyone took a bag and entered the safe. They took some gold which they were told were called gallions and some other coins that were called knuts and stickles.
When everyone was seated back in the cart their guide stood up. "would you like to see your other vault?" Almost immediately Pep responded yes.
The cart took off once again at its fast speed. When it stopped the same process took place. "Key please" asked the goblin. This time when the vault door opened they could not only see gold, but other valuables as well. There were piles of jewels, jewelry, rubes, and random items beside the piles. Upon ferthuer inspection by Chris the ransom artifacts came with a note.
He picked up a silver looked thing and began to read. :
This is an invisibility cloak.
When you put it on you and
The cape become transparent.
It is useful for many things.
There were three of them. Chris took the item and moved on to a box. Upon opening it he found another note, this one read:
In this box there are
Various potions. They
Come in handy, but use
Them wisely. They are all
Labeled according to their
Doings.
Chris looked through the box. He found one potion that made a patch of smoke for a get a way, one that made people tell the truth, a good luck potion, bad luck potion, charm potion, metamorphous potion, and all of that was only on one row.
Pep came across a very old book. She opened it and started to read:
This book contains knowledge that
You need to know. Anywhere from potion
Making to Hogwarts info. Every time that
You want to find something, open up this
Book and it will be there. It is enchanted,
But will only give off info that you need to
Know or want to know. Some subjects are
Prohibited.
"Come on, Lets go" called Piper from the cart. Chris, Pep, and Wyatt walked over to the cart carring the invisibility cloaks, potions, and the book. On the way out Phoebe thanked the creature that helped them, but only received a grunt back.
Upon leaving the building Leo gave Chris and Pep their shopping list. Chris looked over the list and saw sixth year books on the list. "Why are we buying year six books?" He asked.
"You will be entering your sixth year because of your age. There are some other books on there that are for you to do some catch-up reading but mostly you will have to ask your teachers for help." Leo responded.
Turning away from Chris and Pep, Leo gave Wyatt and Phoebe their lists. "Here are some things that may help you with your teaching job." He said, pointing to certain items on the list.
As the three groups (Wyatt and Phoebe, Pep and Chris, and Leo, Piper, and Paige) departed they all decided to meet at Weasleys Wizard Wheeze at 3:00, in three hours time.
As Pep and Chris looked at their list they saw that they needed robes. Next to each item on the list gave a store name that would most likely have that particular item. Beside to robes, was the name Madam Malkin's. "I think I saw that shop as we came in." said Pep, pointing to robes on her list. They started walking towards the entry way and sure enough, there stood Madam Malkin's.
When they walked into the shop Chris and Pep immediately noticed that they store line has manikins along it. But they weren't normal manikins, no, they moved! Nobody in the store took notice of them so Chris and Pep decided to blend in and pretend that it was normal for them too.
A woman who Chris and Pep guessed was Madam Malkin came up to them "What can I do for you?" she asked.
"We both need robes" replied Chris.
"Step over here and I will be right with you."
Chris and Pep stepped up on two platforms and awaited for assistance.
"Okay, what type of robes will you be needing?" asked Madam Malkin when she came back.
"Type?" asked Pep
"Yeah, you know, school, dress, pajama…"
"Oh, um.. all please."
"Okay, let me just take your measurements and I'll whip them up real quick."
She began taking their measurements with a magical tape measurer that read the measurement on the top. When she was done she told them to step down and that she would be right back.
A moment later she came back gripping two paper bags with her logo on the side. She gave one to Pep and one to Chris. "That will be 22 Gallions please." Chris got out the money and handed it to her "Thank you, have a nice day." And with that they left.
