Before Harry was a cobblestone street filled with people and creatures and magical items. The view truly was fantastic. "Where are we going first?" Harry asked Severus.

Severus responded by pointing to a large white building with the name Gringotts displayed over the entrance. Together Harry and Severus made their way to the bank. In the entrance there was a large sign which said:

Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed,

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn.

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there.

"What do they do if you steal something?" Harry questioned. Severus shrugged, and act that is not considered normal when it involves Severus.

As they walked over to the tellers, it must be noted that for never having seen goblins before Harry was acting extraordinarily mature about the whole situation. Severus admired that in Harry, not that he would ever voice that thought. To anyone, Severus had a reputation to maintain.

While they waited in line, Harry took the time to look around and admire the architecture as well as all of the different kinds of people that were currently present in the bank.

Once they reached the front of the line, things moved a lot more quickly from then on. Harry and Severus were introduced to Griphook, who then proceeded to take them to a cart and then drive with astonishing speed to Harry's vault.

When Griphook finally opened her vault, Harry couldn't hold back the gasp that had been building since they entered Gringotts. In the vault there were three enormous piles of coins, separated by value Harry assumed.

She sent a questioning look at Severus who then proceeded to tell her about Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts, and what their conversion rate was in terms of muggle money. "How much do you suggest I take?" Harry asked Severus.

"Fifty Galleons and fifty Sickles should be a decent amount, keep in mind that in the following years you will not need as much because you will not be replacing everything that you will be buying today," Severus responded.

Harry nodded and proceeded to count out the mentioned amount and then put the money into an extra bag that she had stuffed into her backpack. When she finished Griphook, Severus and Harry climbed back into the cart and made their way back to the surface.

Once they had made their way out of the bank Harry and Severus paused, "where do you think we should go to next?" Harry asked.

Severus thought for several moments before he made his decision. "Let us go to Ollivander's first so that he can look at your wand and perhaps get you a proper one." Harry nodded and waited for Severus to show the way before she followed him down the road.

At the end of the road Severus came to a stop in front of what seemed to be an abandoned building with nothing but a dusty wand in the store front.

He opened the door and motioned Harry to go in. Cautiously Harry stepped over the threshold into the store and looked around. Everywhere there were narrow boxes crowded into any space they could fit.

"Ah… Ms. Potter, I have been waiting for you…" came a voice from behind Harry.
