August 17, 2018 (continued)-
"We're here." Said Gobby. As he said that, the car dropped onto the ground. Giving us all mini heart attacks. "Come on." Gobby got off the car and all of us followed. "The car can stay here, follow me and don't stray around." All of us did as he told us and slowly, we all started to walk headed towards Diagon Alley. Gobby stopped at an ancient gate.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"The Entry Passing. It's a gateway to Diagon Alley, which can only be entered by a few certain ways. Though, this gate can't be seen or accessed by 'muggles'. When we pass the gate, we'll all be in the 'wizarding world'. As we do, you'll notice a lot of things, so don't get too excited and wander off." As Gobby said that, a person in a black trench coat with a blank face walked up to us.
"Identification Items." Said the man, with a robotic tone. He held out his hand as if asking for something. Gobby took a few things out of his own trench coat and handed it to the guy. The person looked carefully at the items, one at a time. From what I could see, I saw six things that looked like bracelet charms! A black cane similar to the one Gobby carries, a shaggy rabbit like Jo-Anne's stuffed toy, Button. A hairpin like the one Carrie owns, a cross that has the same design as the one Jeremy wears. Finally, a book that looks like a replica of my diary, and a very eye-catching, little silver heart. Which considering what I learned, I think it belongs to Andrew. Though, I've never seen Andrew have anything that looks similar to it, if I did, I would've recognized it immediately.
"Those things that I just gave to the guard are 'Identification Items'. They're little miniatures of important items or possessions of someone, identifying who they are. You need them in order to access a few things. Such as using The Entry Passing." Explained Gobby, retrieving the items from the guard back. As Gobby said that, the huge, rusted doors of the gate opened slightly. Gobby went through the opening and all of us followed. As soon as we got past the gate, sound hit us. We all looked in shock except for Gobby. Let me tell you why. Reasons:
Everywhere we looked were people in pointy hats.
People were chatting, laughing, shouting, or yelling out prices from stalls.
There were colorful shops with who knows what exploding in it.
We heard a bunch of hooting owls in the distance, along with animals and clowns popping out of nowhere then disappearing.
And last but not the least, how could we stay still if everywhere we see might give us a surprising heart attack!
Gobby started walking down the busy market way. We all barely managed to keep up with him. When Gobby stopped for a brief moment, I realized we were in front of the Gringotts Bank. Then I remembered what Sophie told me, I had things left by my parents waiting for me and that I have a shopping list.
Shopping List:
Gringotts Wizarding Bank- to retrieve money
Flourish & Blotts- to buy your books
Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions- to buy your school uniform
Ollivanders- to get you a wand
Potage's Cauldron Shop- to get you a cauldron
Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment- you might need some things from there.
So I'm guessing we're here for money. When we entered into the bank, I looked around and saw rows of desks at both of my sides, behind each countertop were little people with grim expressions and pointy ears.
"They're goblins like me." Said Gobby.
I looked at him in confusion and for the first time realized that Gobby's appearance changed. He was shorter and looked like the little people behind the desks. So these are what goblins looked like, cleaner than I imagined, not bad. We all walked straight forward and at the end of the rows was a countertop twice the size of the others. Gobby walked up to it and greeted the goblin behind the desk.
"Good Afternoon Ire. they're here to retrieve some money from their vaults." Said Gobby, motioning towards Andrew and me.
"Give me the Identification Items, Selsaur." Said Ire.
Gobby took Andrew's and my identification item and handed them to Ire. Ire took them, turned, and walked off. Gobby followed her and so did we. We walked for a decent amount of time along with a ride in an old rail cart, until Ire led us to a vault with the numbers 427. She went to the vault door and moved a piece of the door, revealing a tiny hole. Ire inserted my identification item into the hole and then, with her index finger nail, she sled it down the vault door. As soon as she did, the design of the vault door started to move, like snakes. The door opened later on, revealing what I would call "a fortune". The vault was a big room filled with piles of golden Galleons. I saw a few pieces of jewelry and lots of books. Stacks of books filled up a good chunk of the room. I stared at the stuff, then peeled my eyes off them and set my eyes on Gobby.
"This is the Marol Family vault." Said Ire.
Gobby held out his hand. "Give me your M.A.G.I.C. for a minute."
I handed him my headset and waited to see what he would do. Gobby took my headset, fiddled with it while pressing a few things, then a hologram came out and a pile of the Galleons got sucked into the hologram and it disappeared. "This feature of the M.A.G.I.C. allows you to withdraw and carry any amount of money along with you. This way, you and you alone can buy anything, anytime." He said.
"Great." I said. Then my eyes went back to the stacks of items in the room. "Gobby? What are these things?" I motioned to the jewelry and books crowding the room.
"I don't know what the jewelry are for and why and the same goes for the books." He replied.
"Ire, can I deposit all these items into my locker? Along with 1000 Galleons." I said. They may come in handy, who knows? I could need to give some fees or the info of the books could be of some use. And the jewelry belonged to my family, I'll feel protected and at ease if they were close to me. I don't know...
"As you wish." Said Ire as she nodded her head.
"I guess we're finished here." Said Gobby turning around and walking back to the train car. "Next is the Heinz Family vault."
We saw the same thing in the Heinz Family vault, piles of Galleons everywhere (guess I wasn't the only one who turned rich in a day). There were three pieces of jewelry, and also quite a few books, at most 25(minor compared to my family's library). Gobby did the same money withdrawal thing with Andrew's headset and Andrew also decided to deposit all of the items into his locker. After that, we all left the vault in the same pattern that we came from and we all said our good-byes to Ire, leaving Gringotts Bank. Gobby again walked down the market way, leaving us to catch up to him. Next on the Shopping List was:
Flourish & Blotts- to buy your books
I was really looking forward to going there, mainly because I'm a bookworm and I like to read any kind of book. The "wizarding world" has become my life's biggest and first thrill, I want to know as much as I can learn about it. This bookshop can allow me to buy books from which can give me a lot of knowledge. Little did I know that I would meet someone important in this bookshop?
Till tomorrow then...
