Sarah followed the crowd of redheads, spotted with a few with darker hair, out into the courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron. Arthur Weasley went up the brick wall at the edge of the courtyard and began to tap the bricks with his wand. Sarah gasped as the walls slowly began to fold themselves backwards, and a whole other world was shown.

The street looked like it had been pulled straight out of the middle ages; the road was covered in cobblestones, little shops with their names written in gold paint across the front. She saw all sorts of shops advertised, 'Madam Malkims Robes', 'Ollivanders Wand shop' and at the end of the street, a large white building with the words 'Gringotts Wizards Bank' written modestly on a brass plaque.

"Right" Molly said. "We'll go to Gringotts first, and then we'll get books. Sarah, you'll need robes as well." Sarah nodded.

"And she needs a wand." Remus said.

Everyone stopped.

"You mean, you've been home schooled in wizardry, but you don't have a wand?" Hermione finally said, still dumbstruck.

"Well, no…" Sarah said, looking down.

"Freak..." Ron mumbled

"RONALD!" Hermione, Ginny and Molly cried, all hitting him at the same time.

"Nah, it's ok, I'm used to it." Sarah replied, trying to brush it off. "So, are we going to the bank or what?"

"That's the spirit dear." Molly said.

"You'll have to excuse Ron, he's a bit of an idiot sometimes." Said Fred

"More like all of the time. He just pulls our brilliant reputation down oh so much." said George.

"You said it brothers" Ginny said, starting to walk over towards Gringotts. She was followed by the rest of the group, Ron bringing up the rear sulking, because no one would talk to him.

They entered the large white marble building, and Sarah gasped in awe. The roof was high and cavernous, the walls lined with desks attended by little figures, who were bald and wore black suits. They looked slightly like the Goblins Sarah had encountered before, just slightly more human like and a lot more organised.

Harry went up to one of the unattended desks and began talking to the goblin there. He was led off into a back room, only to return a few minutes later, his pockets laden with gold.

"Next please." The Goblin said. Sarah went up to the desk and asked

"Um, my stepmother's given me her key. I don't know what the number is. Her name is Karen Laing."
"And your name would be?" The Goblin said, looking up.

"Sarah Williams" She said, the moment his eyes caught hers. He froze.

"Indeed?" He asked, clearing his throat.

"Yes." She said.

"Follow me." He said, motioning to some of the other Goblins. They followed. Sarah picked up her key.

"Oh, you won't need that." He said. "We have a special account reserved for you, Miss Williams, we were informed that you would be arriving by an old friend of yours, I suppose you have heard of the King of the Goblins?" He asked. Sarah froze.

"Wh… what do you mean?" She asked.

"There's no need to worry. He told us that if ever you came in here, that you should have access to an account he reserved for you and your brother some time ago." Another Goblin said, a female this time. She looked like she had a higher position than he did in the bank though, because her clothing was much better quality, and she wore a gold badge that said something in a language Sarah had never seen before.

"My name is Nisse." She said, reaching out to shake Sarah's hand. "I am in charge of the special units department. This is your key." She handed Sarah a large gold key that was much bigger than the one that Karen had given her.

"Please follow me." She said.

Nisse led Sarah down a dark corridor, and then onto a small carriage that followed train tracks into a dark cavern underground.
It was only a short ride until they stopped in front of a large black door.

Upstairs, the goblin who had told Nisse of Sarah's arrival, was sending an urgent message. What the wizards did not know, was that behind the public room and private vaults, there was another room.

In the centre of the windowless, stone room stood a tall wooden podium. On the top of that podium was a single crystal ball. It was attuned to only one other person in any of the worlds- the King of the Goblins.

Sarah Stood up slowly and walked towards the door. She saw no keyholes, nor any door handles. She turned back to Nisse.

"How do I open it?" She asked, turning back to the door and feeling all over for any sort of opening.

"I'm sorry, but this isn't your door." Nisse said, smiling playfully.

"What? But I thought…" Sarah said, whirling around to face her

"I know what you thought. But I cannot have you stealing away the attentions of the King of the Goblins. At a young age, his parents, the former High King and Queen of the Underground, chose one of another kind to be his. They never revealed who it was, and said only that he would know when the time came. Since I was but a small child, I have always dreamed it would be me that he chose. But alas, you came along, and tore any feelings he may have had for another. You ruined my chances of leaving this pitiful place and becoming Queen of the Goblins. But I don't think we'll be plagued by you for a long time now…"

She laughed, almost cackled, but her voice caught when she heard a voice…

"Oh Nisse, my dear. Do not delude yourself. I would never have shown affections for someone such as yourself."

It was him. Sarah knew it. He stood lazily in the shadows, a single crystal rolling over his hands.

"Why?" Nisse asked croakily.

"Why what? Why delude yourself? I don't know, it's your crazy mind!" He said, and laughed at her

"No, that's not what I meant." Nisse said, after clearing her throat. "Why would you not choose one of us? Because we are goblins? May I just remind you, sir, that we goblins are your subj…" She was interrupted.

"No, not because you're a goblin. Really, goblins don't matter much anyway; I have to spend all day with them, why marry one? Now Nisse, do you remember what I do as my job, apart from ruling the Goblin Kingdom? I take away the children of the faint hearted, and show them just what real life is like." Sarah glared at him. "I can see into any heart I wish. The moment you began working in this bank, travelling from the Underground to the aboveground everyday, I saw your true intentions. You knew she would come here, and you knew that she had stolen your chance of 'true happiness' or whatever it is you called it. Really, don't you understand." He was suddenly standing with his face almost touching Nisse's. "I will only choose one who is as pure hearted as me." Sarah snorted. "If one has evil intentions, then they certainly are not fit for ruling status. This one,"

Now he was standing next to Sarah. "Truly has a pure heart." He ran a gloved finger down her cheek. Sarah shivered, and he smiled evilly.

"Enough" Sarah said. "Man, I wanted was just going to get some money out of the bank and have a total shopping spree. And then I find out that someone is planning to kill me because someone she loves could possibly, maybe love me?" She stopped, frozen. "Wait, what?" She asked

"I don't truly intend to marry you." Jareth said. "Really, dear one. Don't get bigheaded."

"Yeah, wouldn't want me to turn out like you." Sarah mumbled.

"How dare you talk to him like that!" Nisse cried, pulling out a crooked wand.

"Sarah, watch out!" Jareth cried. He threw the crystal that he had conjured at Nisse.

There was a bright flash of light, then everything went black for Sarah.
