BAN-Hey peoples, you know what to do, read and review! Ok, enough of Boring Author's Note. Story!
Chp.3- Gringotts and Josie
The family made their way down to a snow-white building in the center of Diagon Alley.
"Gringotts," Sam read the sign.
'What an interesting name,' she thought.
As they walked through the first set of doors, two goblins bowed to them. On the second door there was a poem:
Enter stranger,
but take heed,
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who
take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
If
you seek beneath our floors,
A treasure that was never
yours,
Thief you have been warned, Beware,
Of finding more than
treasure there.
Sam didn't want to think what could be under the floors, so she concentrated on walking through the door. They went up to the counter and Julia talked to the goblin, trading muggle notes for wizard money. Sam was looking at a painting on the wall when she just seemed to drift away.
"Give it to me, boy," she heard a high cool voice say.
"NO," shouted another voice, lower.
She turned and saw a boy with black hair, and his eyes, they were the same color as hers. As she thought what this might be she heard another voice.
"Sam?"
She shook her head to clear it.
'What was that?' she asked herself.
"Come on, we have lots of shopping to do."
They walked out of Gringotts, Sam with her money, and they all went different ways to explore this strange new place. They agreed to meet at the ice cream place. Sam went to the robe shop, where she saw three boys: Two with slick blond hair and grey eyes, and the other with black, messy hair and green eyes, eyes just like hers. The black haired boy was jumping off a stool. He smiled quickly at Sam and rushed out to meet Hagrid. She stared at the retreating boy's back, and then turned to the owner of the shop, who got her robes. The blond haired boys left, after one of them had smiled at Sam that made her blush. Sam heard the bell on the door tinkle and saw a girl her age with hazel eyes and chestnut hair come in.
"Hello," Sam smiled at the girl, "My name is Samantha Scully".
"My name is Josie Paul," the girl said dully.
Sam looked at her, wondering why she sounded so bored, I mean after all, they were in a wizard place, it was so cool!
"In case you're wondering I'm here with my father, and he's an asshole".
Sam was surprised at the curse this Josie had just said. She had never cursed in her life, and could not understand why anyone would.
"What?" she asked incredulously.
"You were wondering why I sounded so bored, I just want to get away from my father," Josie answered, "and trust me, it's a long story, so although I know you want to, don't ask."
"How did you know that I was thinking you sounded bored?"
Josie just shrugged, and Sam left the conversation at that. Soon after they both finished up and decided to shop together for everything else they needed, instantly becoming friends. It was while they were shopping that they met Amanda Riddle.
Later on they were shopping together, best friends although they had just met. That was when they met Amanda Riddle.
A/N- All right, that was chapter 3. My thanks to Amanda and Alex, whose characters I am using (Amanda Riddle, Josie Paul). I own Sam, and her family, nothing else, besides a little of the plot. To everyone who reads, please review. Also view my friend Inyuyasha's Faelle (Alex or Gwen as she calls herself sometimes) stories, and Caitlyn1, Caitlyn, A. Dee, and Chibi (note, that's not her full name, I just don't know the rest of it). Eat candy!
