Welcome to Diagon Alley
Now If you have made it thus far then you have accomplished a great achievement. Pat yourself on your back for a job well done.
To get to Diagon alley you must first go through the Leaky Cauldron, Now the Leaky cauldron is not a bad place. You might even get to see some of your teachers here on a quick break before heading back to Hogwarts. Theres one now, Professor Quirrell, He's the Defence against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts sadly he took a break one year to get some hands on experience, rumour has it he met Vampires and Hags, scared of his own students and scared of his own subject now.
To get to Diagon Alley you must go through the back of the Leaky Cauldron and you will come up to a brick wall. Each brick will equal one, with that in mind you go push 3 up and then 2 across and a hole will begin in form, it will gradually get bigger until you're in the archway entrance to Diagon Alley.
Now if you look around you can see store after store of everything you need for your school year. Firstly however you need to get some money. If you go straight ahead you will see a scary and pillar looking building and that there is 'Gringotts' one of the most secure places in all of the wizarding world, apart from Hogwarts of course. Now at Gringotts there are Goblins. Goblins are not the nicest people in the world, they can be nasty at times and if you're not careful they will hurt you. Now gringotts is as you can already tell a lot different from any and all muggle banks, part of the fact is how you get around gringotts.
In gringotts you travel around by using a cart like train. The goblins tend to get into the habit of scaring the newcomers by making it go faster and spin more than a rollercoaster ride. Please note that going to to gringotts is not recommended if you have one of these following conditions…
Heart problems
Epilepsy
Cowardness
Fear of being upside down
Pregnant
Bad case of Baby voice
Motion sickness
And or prone to clumsiness
Now just like the last one there are a few things that tend to happen to people, these are… Decapitation, Falling out and or Incineration.
Decapitation: This seems to be quite the common one in our world. Both Muggles and some obnoxious wizards and witches fall under this tragic end. An easy way to avoid this is to do one simple thing… 'Keep your hands and feet inside of the vehicle at all times.' This is basically to avoid overhead objects and any other things that may try to hurt you.
Falling out: Probably the most common accident to happen, falling out of you cart while it is going at 200 miles an hour is easy and terrifying. As long as you hold on tight, trying not to loose grip and then hopefully not falling out while doing a full 360 with sharp turns and sudden stops. Before you ask yes someone has fallen out at a sudden stop, those were dark times...
Last but certainly not least, Incineration: Probably the least likely, deep in Gringotts there lies a particular set of vaults, these vaults are of some of the oldest living purebloods and are guarded by (If you hadn't already guessed) a dragon, oh aye he'll melt the flesh straight off your bones as some would say. The easiest way to stay away from this fate is quite simple… Don't try to impersonate one of these family members and attempt to break into these vaults. Even if you did get past the dragon there is still a bit of a problem involving the actual door but I will tell you more about that when it becomes necessary.
Great now that, that is over how about we move on to buying our stationary of course if you haven't been decapitated, Incinerated or fallen out.
I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in so long, honestly I opened my laptop and looked at what I had written and my mind went blank with what to do. I am co writing this with two others and we own nothing except that of which we create, All credit goes to J.K Rowling.
