Waking up I was instantly alert.

Taking a look around this small room that was clearly not mine while recollecting what had happened yesterday- I got lost... and a nice woman gave me food, then... she tried to take me back to my mean relatives.

I escaped... then met three guys in black witch costumes and they -actually it would be wizard I think.- they were really nice.
Though I instantly made a fool of myself and I got my first two friends in trouble... I never do anything right.

With that came a new thought as I get out of bed and open the door which lead into the main room nobody seemed to be here...

I can't ruin anything if I'm not near anything I nod to myself, walking out of the room I think back to a similar experience.

Auntie once had a neighbor club at the house and I wasn't allowed so she'd sent me out for a whole two hours and I got to play at the park!

Walking quick and quietly across the room I flung open the door and rushed down listening to all the chatter going on in the pub.

This was fine. Adventures were fun...

"Haha, Gerald meet my fiancé!" Said a blond lady with two others.

"Damn what a day, the ministry is working with you know against the you know who and the work load is-" said a man chatting with a friend.

"I swear muggles are so soft you send one accidentally spell and the call the police!"

"Well what was the spell?"

She lets out a howling laugh, "I turned their hair green!" Another groups talks.

"Let's go to gringotts I need to change this muggle money to our currency and ask for a loan to buy-" A man with brown hair speaks to his friend

I should follow them like a baby duck!  I can have money! I know that loans is money that's given and money buys food, now I can too!
My stomach grumbles
I can get simmering else too right?

"-ight let's head out!"

I flow between the crowd tailing the man. Following the two to a different back door, that lead to a... Closed space.... A trap?!

"Oh! Hey there little guy, need help? -Yes, I need to get out of here!- I got it don't worry. He says pulling out a little stick, and taps the wall on different bricks. WOAH THEY MOVE!

I flinched when the wall collapsed starting in wonder as the door folds in on its self moving to make an entryway into a hidden street filled with people milling about shopping. A laugh pulls me from my transfixed daze.

"Yeah my first reaction to the leaky cauldron's door too" his friend says.

"See yea little guy, or do you need help going somewhere?" He says crouching down.

I calmed down I gather my thoughts and think of what to tell the nice man."... Money?" I state but it came out as more of a question.

"Ah okay, I'm going to the bank as well wanna go together?" The brown guy's friend asks.

I look back to the pub thinking of the other nice family and the nice lady, now the nice man - but the first two got mad with him the nice lady tried to bring him back and I got my new friends in trouble but I don't want this man mad with me too....

"I- you're not gonna mad? I won't get you in trouble! Promise! Promise!"

"It's okay your just a little man c'mon, let's go. Is this your first time Diagon Alley?" He speaks walking up the street.

"Mhm!" I nod looking around in amazement
There's a lot of stores! I smell a bakery too! Wow there's animals over there! And.. and...
I can't help when my hands start flapping or the shriek I let out.

"You okay?" The others look at me. Looking at the freak.

"Uh, m- ahem... yes 'm good, jus' happy." nervously looking away .

"Okay making sure." And continued on, and didn't say anything about me being weird.

We continue and the huge white building that could be seen from the pub is apparently the gringotts bank! Stepping up to the door there was a poem of warning
'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.'
That's when the two guys opened the gigantic doors, which held hundreds of little green monsters!

Creepy! I duck behind the strangers pant leg

"It's okay little dude you've just go up to a goblin and stage your name name than ask for your vault" He says pushing me forward encouragingly.

I stand there for a minute longer gathering the little courage I could muster and change my worried expression to put up a confident front and walk up to the nearest open teller.

"I need my vault... uh I- I am Potter!" I puff out my cheeks and stand straight trying to look like I knew what I was doing.

The goblin grimaced at the child but took pity at his impromptu-ness and sighed "got a first name?"

"Uh... I forgot." Said the small child in front of him, actually he was a little perturbed by his stature all together, who would even let their child out looking like a house elf! Absolutely outrageous!

"Well that complicates things, we offer blood tests which can show your name, your close family, your status, how much you have and property you own. We also offer more services. But the blood test will give us the information we need to locate your vault." stating in a rushed manner, looking back up to make sure Mr. Potter caught it all .

"Ah- okay." The child says while fidgeting with his huge shirt and based on the wear of the bottom of the t-shirt he did it a lot.

"... Follow me and we'll get started" I step back and gesture to a back door leading Mr Potter to Griphook. The head goblin disliked talking to the ministry but there are cases were they need to be put in check, and... he might want to see this boy, doesn't even know his name and is alone.
