SHOPPING SPREE

The next day Liam and Justin met at the train station. "So you got the letter as well" said Justin

"Yeh, it's so odd" said Liam

"Let's try and get on the train" said Justin "what does the ticket say".

"It tells us to catch a train to Hornsby, and then go into the blue gum pub and talk to the bar tender and tell him that we need to do a bit of shopping".

"That ticket seems to be very specific" said Justin. So Liam and Justin caught the train to Hornsby went into the pub and when they told the bar tender that that they needed to do a bit of shopping he led them out to the back of the pub and opened up a wall into another world. There were shops everywhere people looking in the windows looking at what the cant have. There witches and wizards of all shaped and sizes. Liam and Justin Checked another piece of paper they didn't realize the night before and read.

"That's a lot to get" said Justin

"Let's get started then" Said Liam.

"Wait Liam we don't have any money" said Justin

"Damit lets ask someone were to get some money" Liam and Justin walked up to a tall witch who was looking through a window at new broom with her daughter standing next to her "Excuse me miss but do you know were to get our money" said Liam. Justin had his eyes on the witches daughter she was beautiful. She had blue eyes and marvelous blonde hair.

"Hey" said Justin in a swarve

"Hello" said the girl "what's your name?"

"My name is Justin Blow, what's yours?"

"My names Jordanne Chant, is this going to be your first year at Hogwarts too?"

"Yeh that's good at least I know another person going to Hogwarts, well I better get going cya at school "

"Bye".

"Justin, that lady told us to go up the road and into Gringotts then we should ask and see if we had witch or wizard ancestors"

"Ok". So Liam and Justin walked up to Gringotts were they talked to a wrinkly goblin who took them on a rickety and bumpy cart track which lead to a vault that had the number 231 which turned out to belong to Liam's grandmother. Liam had always thought there was something amazing about the way she could make plants grow almost instantly. The goblin opened the vault which had massive amounts of gold, silver and bronze. Liam looked like he was on the verge of tears and prompted to leap into the piles and roll around merrily then he grabbed a hand full of each and returned to the cart where they started to travel to Justin's great uncle's vault which was numbered 297 on reaching his vault Justin acted slightly more mature than Liam, but did let out a huge "YES!". He also grabbed a handful of each coin and hopped back into the cart which took them back to diagon alley. "How cool was that cart it reminded me of a roller coaster at wonderland?" said Liam. "It made me feel a bit sick" replied Justin who looked a bit green. The boys then went to buy their school stuff. They went to Madam Malkins to get their robes and then they went to apothecary to collect their potions stuff. After nearly four hours of shopping they had bought nearly everything except a wand. So they went to ollivanders were Justin bought a dragon hart string 7 ¼ inch and Liam bought a phoenix feather 9 ½ inch.

"We've bought everything" said Liam as they were walking back to the pub.

"Why don't we get a pet" said Justin. So they walked into Eeylops owl eeporium were Justin bought a snowy owl which he named Amber and Liam bought an eagle owl and called it Titan. Then they walked back through the pub caught the train home and waited till the 2nd of February.
