(Henry POV)

As the wall opened up, my heart skipped a beat and a grin spread across my face as I stepped through the archway and into the bustling crowds, my family right beside me. No matter how many times I'd come here growing up, nothing could ever make me get tired of seeing this place, with its crowds, shops and noise.

Mum didn't seem the most pleased though as she looked around nervously. Dad rarely brought her here and with all the occlumency lessons and fear and Hogwarts time approaching so quickly, I knew she was getting anxious, but she'd have to learn that Harry and I aren't little kids anymore and we're growing up really fast.

"Alright guys, the first place we gotta get to is Gringotts." Sirius said and everyone nodded. "I don't feel comfortable going inside, so I'll wait outside, but I'll walk with you to the doors, okay?" Everyone nodded and as we went, Harry and I walked ahead, gleefully, only stopping when we saw something in the window that made our jaws drop, along with Tobys.

"It's the Nimbus 2000!"

Harry and I tried to push through the crowd to get a better look, our eyes not being able to look away until dad grabbed us and pulled us away. "You guys can't even have a broom at school this year." He said and we groaned as Toby looked at his father.

"But I—"

Remus laughed and held up a hand. "Don't even try Obi-wan."

Being dragged away from the most beautiful broomstick I'd ever seen was heartbreaking, but I pretty much completely forgot about it moments later as we now walked up the steep steps to the bank, Sirius waiting a little ways away from us by another little shop that sold an assortment of things that to me seemed more like junk more than anything.

Turning back to the doors as we entered, I looked around Harry and smiled at him when I saw Dad walk over to the tellers and ask to speak with a specific goblin. When his request was granted, Dad called us over and we presented him with our keys. As the goblin took and examined each of them, Dad leaned over to whisper with him and after a couple moments, the goblin nodded and hopped down from his stool to lead us to our vaults, Mum following us as Uncle Remus went with another Goblin to his vault to Get Toby a little money for his school things.

Walking to the carts was okay, but actually getting in and riding them, well that was a blast that I hadn't expected, but one that made mum look upset and made Amber rather ill in the cart, to the Goblins utter disgust. It went so fast, it was like being in a race car and went in all sorts of directions and spun so fast it made my head spin. Harry and I screamed in delight the entire way down, but Dad did not look amused at our loudness, though in the end, he couldn't help but smile, himself.

Since our Vault was higher up, we stopped there first and when I looked into my trust fund, it wasn't much, but Dad assured me that over time, it would grow. I didn't mind too much, knowing I was even lucky to get a trust in the first place.

After I filled a small bag of money, it was time to go to Harry's vault and as we did so, there were more screams of delight from Harry and I, but more ill looks from Amber and Mum.

his vault being so low into the bank, we had to go under a waterfall that would get rid of any and all charms that might be cast over us, so immediately after, I looked at Harry and saw that the polyjuice potion was wearing off. Dad had explained to us thst this might happen and he held up the bottle he had of extra juice. At seeing Harry Potter, the goblin didn't even seem to care and looking from him to dad, I realized that of course Dad had had to tell him if he was using Harrys key. I only wondered why this didn't worry anyone.

The coolest part of going down to Harry's vault though was when we zipped past something and I screamed that I could've sworn we'd just passed an actual dragon. "DID YOU SEE THAT?!" I yelled to all in the car, "IT WAS A DRAGON!" Harry tried to crane his neck around to see while Amber looked scared and covered her eyes.

We reached Harry's vault soon after that and the goblin let us in, so we wouldn't have to come here very often and use Harry's key too much, Sirius had advised Dad and Mum to do some maths and to figure out how much money Harry would need for the next few years of his schooling and that's exactly what we did.

Pulling out a small sack that had been enlarged on the inside, Dad began counting out Galleons, sickles and knuts. When he was finished it was time to go again, but this time, I couldn't stop looking at my cousin. I'd seen that vault and he was absolutely loaded. I couldn't believe my uncle James had been so rich.

Though I looked impressed, Harry only seemed to look uncomfortable about all the money he'd seen, so looking away as we began to scream with the carts again, I decided that it wasn't worth mentioning as I didn't want to upset him.

As soon as we passed the water fall again, Dad shoved the vial of juice st Harry, who took and drank from it deeply. He had to leave Gringotts the way he'd come in. As soon as we were off the carts, Harry and I went to meet with Uncle Remus and Toby, while Dad stayed back to speak with the goblin. I didn't know what exactly he was doing, but what I do know is that, that goblin would never say word of whst he might have seen to Albus Dumbledore.

(Harry POV)

As we left the bank, Uncle Zander took out a smaller sack and switching some of the coins in there. He handed it to me and I took it gratefully and thanked him. My Aunt and Uncle had told me I'd inherited a lot of money, but what I'd seen had been a whole lot more than I'd been expecting.

Shrugging it away, I turned and went to look for Uncle Sirius, but he had left from where he'd been standing. "Where's—? That's when I saw him come out of a shop and grinned when I saw him holding two parcels. "Couldn't help myself." He told us as he came over and looking at one another, Henry and I reached for the packages, but before we could open them, Aunt Rose insisted we should beat the crowd to get our books and stuff.

Reluctantly, we all followed and were about halfway there, when someone called out to Uncle Zander and with a grin, he turned as we all did to face a giant of a man. He was maybe twice my height, maybe more, with while hair and a big coat on, but what got me were his eyes, which despite being beetle black, we're as friendly as the little creatures that Henry and I often found in our garden.

Uncle Zander waved to the man and hurried over to him, "Hagrid! How've you been!? Long time no see!"

"Ay Zander! Jus' headin' ter Gringotts on official 'ogwarts business these days!" Hagrid said and Uncle Zander beamed.

"Still working there, then? My boys will be going to school there this fall." He pointed at Henry and I and we waved, though I looked away with a smaller wave, suddenly feeling a bit nervous.

"Oh! I see, identical twins eh?" He grinned at us. "Let's hope they're not like Fred and George, always gettin' inter trouble." Uncle Zander looked back at Henry and I and we grinned a little. What could we say? We liked mischief

"Well, it was wonderful seeing you, but we gotta go get books and such." Uncle Zander was saying but Uncle Sirius stepped over and I looked at him. "Can I talk to you for a moment, Hagrid?" He looked over at us with a grin and both Henry and I mirrored it as Uncle Zander nodded and walked away.

We met up with Uncle Remus outside of Flourish and Blotts and they decided to stay outside, while Toby took us in to get our books. After consulting my list and getting all the books I needed, we were off to get quills— which Amber cried, until Uncle Zander finally caved and got her a fancy one with an ink that changed color, depending on one's mood and a sparkling diary that had pink sparkles all over it. Henry and I rolled our eyes, but said nothing as we got our own parchment, quills and stationary.

Next we went and got our cauldrons and then to the Apothecary shop to get our potions stuff— Amber convinced Uncle Zander to get Henry and I some extra ingredients that we secretly wanted to use for some pranks around the house. Then after potions stuff, we went around to get mostly the rest of our other things, until it was time to head to our second last stop for the day.
