Sirius Black and his god son year one

chapter six Diagon Ally

       Sirius and Harry got up the next morning getting ready for the trip to Diagon Ally.

"Padfoot, can I get a dog instead of the animals on the list?" Asked Harry.

"Why would you want a dog?"

"I've always wanted a dog."

"You already have a dog." Said Sirius laughing. Harry was confused thinking to himself that Sirius must be going crazy he doesn't have a dog. Harry looked away from Sirius and while Harry wasn't looking Sirius turned into his Animagus form a black dog. Harry looked back to where Sirius was and instead saw a black dog. Harry looked at the dog very confused, he started looking around the room to where Sirius went to find out where the dog came from. When Harry looked back at the black dog, Sirius turned back into human form in front of Harry.

"HOW YOU DO THAT?" Yelled Harry.

"shhh, I'm an Animagus but can't tell anyone it's a secret."

"Can you teach me how to become an Animagus?"

"That's very advance magic maybe when you are older, I will help you do it, but you are far from ready to be able to even attempt becoming an Animagus it can be dangerous. I didn't become an Animagus until my fifth year at Hogwarts."

Harry and Sirius left for Diagon Ally. The first stop was the Leaky Cauldron where they were meeting up with Hagrid. Hagrid was just getting to the Leaky Cauldron also.

Everyone was waving and smiling at Hagrid; the bartender reached for a glass, saying, " The usual Hagrid?"

"Can't, Tom, I'm on Hogwarts business." said Hagrid walking to where Sirius and Harry just arrived.

"Good lord," said the bartender, peering at Harry and Sirius, "is this- can this be-"

The Leaky Cauldron became completely still and silent.

"Bless my soul," whispered the old bartender," Harry Potter... what an honor."

He hurried out from behind the bar, rushed toward Harry and seized his hand, tears in his eyes.

"Welcome back, Mr. Potter. Welcome back."

Tom the bartender then turned to Sirius. Shaking Sirius hand also "you have done a wonderful job raising him, Mr. Black."

"Thank you, Tom."

Others in the Cauldron followed suit taking their turns greeting Harry and getting a chance to shake his hand.

Sirius, Harry, and Hagrid finally getting through everyone and entered Diagon Ally.

"Okay, first stop is Gringotts, we need to withdraw money to get all of your supplies."

As walking through Diagon Ally, Harry caught glimpse of several boys his age, noses pressed to a window with a broomstick in it. "Look," Harry heard one of them say, "the new Nimbus Two Thousand- fastest ever-."

Harry grabbed Sirius arm. "Padfoot, can I have a Nimbus Two Thousand?" Asked Harry.

"Not today, Harry, remember you can't take a broomstick with you this year anyways, also the broomstick you have at home still works perfectly fine."

Harry sighed at Sirius. "Fine, I guess I don't need it. Can we at least go in and look at it?"

Sirius laughed. "Yes Harry, before we leave today, we will go so you can get a closer look after we are done shopping for all of your school stuff."

Harry smiled and started sprinting towards Gringotts. Yelling back to his god father and Hagrid "Come on, hurry up."

Slow down, Harry." Yelled Sirius.

"So much like James and you Sirius" said Hagrid laughing as Sirius and Hagrid both started walking faster to catch up to Harry.

Harry came to a halt as he reached a snowy white building that towered over the other little shops. Standing beside it burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of Scarlett and gold, was-

"Is that a goblin? Asked Harry as Sirius and Hagrid finally caught up to him.

Yeah, that's a goblin," said Hagrid quietly as they walked up the white stone steps toward him. The goblin was about a head shorter than Harry. He has a swarthy, clever face, a pointed beard and, Harry noticed, very long fingers and feet. He bowed as they walked inside.

Now they were facing a second pair of doors, silver this time, with word engraved upon them:

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.

" Yeh'd be mad ter try an rob it." Said Hagrid.
