The following day arrived quicker then Kennedy had expected and she now found herself wondering about Diagon Alley with Fred at her side as they both walked straight forward toward Gringotts so Kennedy could withdrawal some money from her vault so she would be set for the shopping that await her.

"Are you sure you want to come with me Fred? You can always go with George, Ron and Molly to get Ron his knew wand." Kennedy tried as they continued to walk closer and closer to the doors on Gringotts.

"For the third and last time Kenny, I'm happy to accompany you. Plus I'd rather not have to see Mr. Ollivander's face again after the trouble me and George caused." Fred said with a playful tease in his tone that made Kennedy look up at him slightly.

"What did you do to the poor man?"

"It was George and I's first trip to Diagon Alley that we could for the most part go off by ourselves on with the company of Bill and Charlie. Being the little gremlins we were-"

"Are." She correct which got a glare from Fred in return as he opened the door to Gringotts for Kennedy.

"Whatever. Being as we were, we ventured away from our brothers and got ourselves a Fanged Flyer. We ended up in Ollivanders wand shop and George thought it would be brilliant to mess with it while we waited for our turn to get our wands. We tossed it back and forth when Cedric's dad walked in and a gust of wind picked it up and it went flying through the shop. Needless to say we spent a good seven hours re-boxing wands."

"Wait wouldn't that mean that the wand would try and see it if were yours or not?" Kennedy asked as they waited behind a family at the front desk of Gringotts.

"That's exactly why it took us seven hours." Fred said with a chuckle that made Kennedy shake her head in disbelief.

"Of course it did."

Around three minutes had passed when the family in front of Fred and Kennedy had moved on, leaving Kennedy to stand on her tippy toes to see over the large desk.

"Excuse me? I would like to make a withdrawal from my vault please." She said to the Goblin with a comb over who looked to her with distaste.

"Name."

"Kennedy Deadlock." She said in a much lower tone.

The Goblin did a doubletake only to hop down from the stand quickly where he appeared beside them waving them forward in a hurry.

"Come with me." The Goblin ordered as he waddled into a back room where the tunnels main entrance was.

Together Fred and Kennedy sat themselves carefully in the back seats of the cart, though of course within seconds they were shooting forward in the dark around twists and turns resulting in Fred holding Kennedy close to him to try and prevent as much bruising as he possibly could.

Once they came to a stop in front of the same old empty and damp hall where the Deadlock vault stood, all three of them exit the cart while the Goblin made sure to check up and down the cart tracks to be sure nobody was around.

Quickly the Goblins legs carried himself over to the Griffin that covered a majority of the door where he stuck his fingernail into the old keyhole. After he did that he traced a section of the door causing it to swing open slowly.

Carefully Kennedy moved forward and stepped into the vault that she hadn't been in ever since the middle of her fourth year. When she was fully inside a good portion of the room had been emptied out, leaving two fifths of the room barren and dusty except for the occasional fly carcass.

A low 'wow' could be heard from behind her from Fred that caused her muscles to tense ever so slightly. She was not a fan of people knowing how much money she had in her vault nonetheless when they knew how she had inherit it.
