The Name

July 31st, 1991

Harry Potter was smiling from ear to ear as he was walking towards an old looking pub in London that was called leaky cauldron, Alice was holding his hand as she was leading him to the pub.

When they went in, he saw some people that were drinking at the bar. Alice had taken her wand out, she had shown it to him after she had bought her stuff.

Alice waved at the man behind the bar before she led him to a brick wall "Do you know that man?" Harry asked with a confused look on his face.

"That's Tom. He owns this pub." She explained as she started to press bricks with her wand in a pattern. After she pressed the last brick, the wall started to move apart from each other to reveal a shopping area with wizard and witches, looking at windows that showed robes and brooms.

Harry's eyes widen with Alice giggling into her hand at Harry's expression "I had the exact expression when I first saw Diagon Alley." Harry pouted at her as she started to pull him towards a snow white building that was towering over the other shops.

"Where are we going?" He asked as he was being dragged towards the white building, "We need money to buy our stuff. So we are on our way to Gringotts, that's the wizard bank. It's run by goblins so you have to show respect." She told him as they went inside.

Harry looked around as Alice was leading him towards a counter with a goblin looking through some papers "Hello, my name is Alice Ravenclaw and I have a friend with me that needs to know if he has any vaults." She told the goblin.

The goblin looked at her before giving her what looked like a smile "Of course, I will bring you to Griphook right away." The goblin said before he started to show them the way to Griphook's office, the twists and turns made Harry confused.

After five minutes of walking, they made it to a door "This is Griphook's office, I bid you farewell." The goblin walked away, he was already guessing that it would get dramatic soon.

She opened the door slowly " , it's Alice Ravenclaw. I have come here to take out some gold and look if my friend has a vault to his name." She said as she walked in with Harry behind her.

Griphook looked up at them "It's nice to see you again Miss Ravenclaw" Alice sat down in front of Griphook with Harry sitting beside her.

"We can start with your friend's inheritance test, then we can go down to your vault." He told them before he took out a piece of parchment and a small knife.

"slice your palm with this knife and drop six drops of blood on this parchment." Griphook gave Harry the knife and watched with anticipation as Harry sliced his palm.

After six drops of blood hit the parchment, letters started to appear on it. Griphook took the parchment, he started to read it with hunger filled eyes.

He started to laugh while he handed the parchment to Alice, she gasped quietly as Griphook looked at Harry.

"Welcome back, Harry Potter"
