I'M BACK! Thank you so much to those of you who have reviewed. It makes me REALLY REALLY happy. Also, a friend informed me today that I have been capitalizing the "S" in Lestrange. Oops. So I ill be careful not to do that anymore. Also, I NEED A BETA! If you are interested, please send me a message. Until then, I will continue updating chapters that contain bad grammar, misspelled words and other stupid mistakes. Just so you know, I will be dedicating every chapter to a friend. Amazing power over those around you comes with the ability to dedicate published things to them (such as chapters of fan fiction) I suggest you try it. (I got Katie and Kelsey to fight over who got to get my book for me in English today. It was awesome.)

Draco: Now that we have clarified that you are an idiot, can I go home now? Seriously. Look I'm even asking nicely now.

Vampyress: No.

Evelyn: Vampyress are you kidnapping random Slytherins again?

Draco: Yes she is, which is probably one of the reasons why she doesn't own any of the characters besides you. SHE CAN'T BE TRUSTED!

Vampyress: (goes and sulks in her corner of woe)

DEDICATION: LISA FOR GIVING ME A STARBURST TODAY

PLEASE REVIEW!

"Here. Try this one." Olivander handed me another box.

I took the wand out of its case and flicked it at an expensive looking vase. Nothing happened. I sighed. This was the twelfth wand we had tried, and nothing had really happened. Except for the seventh, a little wisp of smoke had come out of the tip of that one. I think it was elder wood with a phoenix core…

Olivander looked at me for a moment, and then scurried into the back room again.

I stood there waiting for at least twenty minutes before he finally came back, holding a small black metal box. He looked at me uncertainly "I made this wand eleven years ago, and it hasn't worked for anyone at all yet, but maybe…" his voice trailed off at the end.

I took the box from him and opened the lid. Sitting in the box, nestled among the blood red velvet, was a beautiful black oak wand with emerald and silver inlays. Wrapped around the handle was a silver snake, whose head rested upon an onyx skull that had been attached to the base.

I gingerly picked it up and waved it in the direction of a small fireplace I had noticed earlier in the corner of the room. A fire roared to life in it, shimmering all different shades of green, silver, and black.

"Interesting…" Olivander murmured to himself as he took out a roll of parchment, writing as he spoke "thirteen inch, black oak with a dragon heartstring core, complete with emerald, onyx and silver inlays and attachments."

Sister Narcissa stepped up to Olivander and handed him a bunch of funny looking gold, silver, and bronze coins. She then turned to me "Come along Evelyn. We need to get to Gringotts next. I believe your parents left you a bank account there." She grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the store.

I stumbled as I tried to keep up with her brisk steps. "You knew my parents?" I asked hopefully.

"No" she replied. I looked at her, waiting for her to continue. She didn't.

We arrived at Gringotts (which I had figure out was some sort of wizarding bank) and quickly headed inside I looked around at all the high desks on either side of me. The desks each held set of gold scales, stacks of coins, rolls of parchment, and bright red feathers that appeared to be for writing with. Behind each desk sat a funny little man with a large nose and pointed ears.

Sister Narcissa marched up to the desk in the center of the room. "I believe there is an account here for an Evelyn eStrange." She said in a clearly bored voice, as though she had done this before.

The man pulled out a scroll and looked at it for a moment as though he was looking for something. "Ah yes. Here it is. Grizbac, please escort these two ladies to the Lestrange vault."

There was a grunt and one of the little men (who I assumed was Grizbac) hopped down from behind his desk.

I blinked. The man was perhaps three feet tall. I glanced over at Narcissa "Uh…" I said, nervously glancing at the creature (who I now realized was actually not a man) that was standing in front of me.

Narcissa smirked. "Goblins." She shrugged as if this was the most normal thing in the world, which I guess to her, it was.

"Seriously?" I looked at her with a shocked expression on my face. She nodded her reply, and we headed after Grizbac, who was now walking down a dark tunnel.

After a few minutes of walking, we came up on a sort of mine cart-like vehicle that was sitting on the tracks ready to go. We all got in, and Grizbac pulled some sort of lever, and we were off, practically flying along the rails at such a speed that I could practically feel my face flattening from the force of the wind rushing past us. I sighed to myself. By the time I got out of the cart, my hair would be a complete mess.

We finally reached our destination, I guess, because the cart came to a screeching stop. We all climbed out and the goblin handed me a key. I turned to the large doors in front of me, placing the key into the lock. It took a few moments to finally get it open, since it was a weird sort of lock. After a few tries, however, I finally managed. Using all of my strength, I pushed open the oversized wooden doors and let out a low whistle as I looked inside.

"You have got to be kidding me…"
