Last time
"Muggle?" He asked
"Nope" Tom said easily
"Ready?" Cammie took a deep breath and nodded,
"I am now."
As Tom and Cammie walked through Diagon Ally, Cammie turned to Tom.
"So…. What do I need for this school exactly?" She asked. Tom turned to her with a bewildered expression on his face
"You mean to tell me" Tom started "That they didn't even give you a supply list?" Cammie just shook her head no. "Well lucky for you then, I still remember what I needed for my years at Hogwarts" Tom smiled down at Cammie "I suppose you need year 1, 2, 3 and 4?" he asked and Cammie just shrugged
"I guess, but I don't have much." Cammie told Tom pulling out what was left of her life savings and her mom's wallet. "A few hundred dollars I guess, but the currency's different here." Tom put a hand on her shoulder
"Don't worry Miss; I'll help ya out as much as I can." He led her over to a big building which had the words GRINGOTS labeled above the entrance. AS the two entered Cammie pulled on Tom's sleeve and whispered to him
"What kind of shop is this?" Tom let out a low chuckle
"It's the wizard bank" He replied as Cammie turned a dark red. Tom walked up to a side desk and cleared his throat. The goblin behind the desk looked up and put his quill back into his ink.
"Yes Mr. Emers?" The goblin said looking down at Tom from the top of his glasses.
"I would like access to my vault." Tom said sounding much more mature then he did when he was talking to Cammie. The goblin nodded and walked out from behind the counter.
"Follow me." The goblin led the way as Tom and Cammie walked down a series of long tunnel before reaching a door. HE asked for Tom to present his key and when he did he opened the door. Cammie stepped inside her mouth immediately dropped open as she saw the walls stocked with bronze, silver and gold coins. Tom stepped up behind her. Putting his hand on her shoulder he led her further into the room.
"Here you are dear" Tom said to Cammie putting a small purple bag into her hands. "Fill up the bag with as many coins as you can, wouldn't want to be alone with no money at Hogwarts. Cammie shook her head and pushed the velvet bag back into Tom's hands
"I can't take money from you." Cammie said shaking her head
"Look Miss. Cooper I understand that you feel l like you'd be cheating me" Tom told her as Cammie became suddenly very interested in her shoe. The goblin looked at Cammie a bit closer
"As in Spencer Cooper?" he asked Cammie and Cammie shook her head
"No that's my father's name" Cammie said with a sigh, the goblin eyed her as if he was considering something until he finally spoke up.
"Follow me" the goblin commanded before walking out of the vault and sealing it up. Tom and Cammie followed the goblin a little while more before the goblin used its nail to open the door of the vault. The treasure inside wasn't very large but at the sight of it Cammie was still astounded.
"The Cooper family vault" the goblin said "Take what you need" Cammie looked at the goblin
"This is my family's vault?" she asked him and the goblin nodded. Turning around Cammie saw Tom holding out the coin purse again, this time Cammie accepted the offer.
It was almost the end of the day before Cammie had finished her shopping. Finally understanding why her trunk was so small she put everything inside of the small shoulder bag. Every shop Tom took Cammie to; was unique and magical. Cammie was walking out of Flourish and Blotts when Tom finally turned to her.
"Okay were almost done all you need is a wand, a cauldron, an extra pair of robes and if you please a pet." Cammie's eyes lit up at the mention of a pet
"What kind of pets am I allowed to have" she asked knowing from what Tom told her that Hogwarts had a lot of rules.
"A toad" Cammie made a face "A cat" Cammie began itching her arms remembering her allergies "a rat" Cammie gave Tom a look as if to say DEFINITALLY NOT "or and owl" Cammie tilted her head to the side
"An owl sounds cool" Cammie said
"Course" Tom told her "I'll get everything you need, you go to Olivanders –it's around the corner- that's where you will get your wand." Tom said pointing where Cammie should go
"Okay Tom," Cammie told him "But can I also pick out my owl?" Tom nodded and then sent her on her way. Cammie waved goodbye to Tom before stepping into the shop. A voice shouted
"I'll be right with you" as the bell rang above the door. A man came sliding out on a ladder from around a corner "hello dear, I am Olivander the second. My dad used to run this shop." Cammie nodded her eyes still on the endless amount of boxes on the walls. "Now let's see what we can do for you miss" Olivander said before taking a box off the wall. "Here we are" he said placing the box on the table in front of her " 12 inches long, ash wood with the core of unicorn hair" Cammie picked up the wand held out to her and waved it in the air. Suddenly boxes came shooting off the wall to her left and she screamed ducking her head. Olivander shook his head
"Excuse me?" Cammie asked
"Yes dear?" Olivander said
"How will you know when it's the right wand?"
"The wand choses the wizards miss... uh?"
"Cooper, Carmen Cooper" Olivanders eyes opened a bit
"Oh?" Putting his glasses higher up on his nose he looked at her "You're American?" he said and Cammie nodded "And you look like a 5th year?" Olivander guessed Cammie shook her head
"4th" And Olivander shrugged
"I was close, now about your wand Miss. Cooper" He climbed the ladder shooting back to the backroom before returning with a new box "try this" Cammie gulped and looked at it "Don't worry dear it's 11 inches made of ebony wood with dragon heartstrings core. It is unyielding great for charms." Cammie nodded pretending to understand before closing her eyes and flicking the wand. The lights flickered and Cammie heard the glass on the door next to her shatter. "No" Olivander said.
After almost blowing something up with four more wands Olivander looked like he wanted to give up.
"I don't know it normally doesn't take this long" Cammie was walking along the walls when all of a sudden a box next to her began to shake. She took a step back expecting it to explode. Olivander jumped up
"AH HA!" he said grabbing the box opening it he took out the wand "Why didn't I think about it 12 inches birch wood with the core of a phoenix feather" he held it out to Cammie "great for powerful witches and wizards" Cammie shook her head afraid of what would happen "Go on dear" Cammie closed her eyes and tapped the wand against the desk. Instead of exploding like she thought it would Cammie watched as the whole shop repaired itself. She stared open mouthed at what was happening. Olivander II just nodded "like I said only for the most powerful"
"She is quite powerful" a voice said and Cammie turned to see Tom standing there, he walked over to pay Olivander II before taking Cammie's hand and leading her out the door to the pet shop. When they entered Cammie made a beeline for the owls. Standing in front of them Cammie read off the kind of owls
"Screech Owl, Snowy Owl, Pygmy Owl, Chaco Owl, wait" Cammie said stopping in front of one "I want this one" Tom leaned over to read the sign
"You want a spotted Owl?" Tom asked and Cammie nodded, Tom ushered over a clerk and purchased the owl Cammie wanted. When they left he turned to Cammie "What are you going to name it?" Cammie pondered for a moment before responding
"Merlin" Cammie said naming the one wizard she could remember from her childhood Tom nodded in approval.
"Well I do believe it's time to get you and Merlin here off to school, don't you?" Tom asked and Cammie nodded enthusiastically
"I'm ready for school" Cammie said with a smile.
