Chapter 2 *****Edited*****

It was now the first of August and I was starting to wonder if this Hagrid was ever going to show up to take me for my school supplies. I woke up early and dressed in simple jeans and a white long sleeve shirt that Uncle gave me last year for my birthday. I decided that I would eat and go for a walk and that was just what I did. I left the small orphanage and walked down the road. Uncle was gone again, because of the full moon so I couldn't go and seen him.

I heard a deep rumbling voice calling my name behind me and I turned to see a very tall man that reminded me of a giant and a boy walking towards me. The man had long black hair and a beard that matched and dark eyes. He had to be a giant or a half-giant and stood at least eight feet tall or taller. The boy beside him looked like James Potter from my picture books and had black hair, green eyes, and wire-rimmed glasses and looked shy as he slightly hid behind the tall man.

"Gemini there you are." I looked up at the man curiously as to how he knew my name and tilted my head. "I'm Rubeus Hagrid and Dumbledore sent me to take you to get your school supplies on request of your Uncle ." I smiled widely and nodded my head. So this is Hagrid that Uncle told me about. "This is Harry Potter, Harry this is Gemini Black."

"Nice to meet you." I smiled at the boy politely and he smiled shyly and said the same. "Are we going now?" Hagrid smiled widely behind his beard and nodded his head and I did the same. "Just let me run to the orphanage and tell the patron that I'm leaving and I'll be ready."

With that said I ran back to the orphanage and told the patron that the man taking me to get my school supplies for my new boarding school had arrived and that I was leaving for most of the day. When I stepped back out of the orphanage again I saw Harry and Hagrid waiting outside of the building for me and we made our way through London and to a place called the Leaky Cauldron. Inside there were people everywhere and the barkeep asked Hagrid if he was here for a drink and Hagrid answered that he was there for Hogwarts business helping me and Harry get our school things.

The next thing I knew the pub went silent before both me and Harry were bombarded by people welcoming us back, shaking our hands and thanking Harry. We met a strange Professor named Quirrell that was our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who didn't shake our hands and stuttered and said Harry didn't need any teaching in DADA. Quirrell sure was a strange one.

Soon enough we made our way out of the pub and into the back alley and to a brick wall. Hagrid tapped some of the bricks and slowly the bricks opened to revile a large alley filled with witches and wizards of all shapes and sizes moving all about. Hagrid explained what each building was as we passed and I looked all around in amazement at the shops and animals.

"Hagrid how am I going to pay for this I haven't any money?" I asked curiously and Harry said the same.

Hagrid chuckled and pointed to a big white building in front of us. "Well, there's your money, Harry, Gemini." Hagrid said and Harry and I looked at each other curiously and confused. "Gringotts, the Wizard Bank. T'aint no place safe, 'cept perhaps Hogwarts."

Hagrid led us into the bank that Uncle told me all about and that I read about. I was fascinated by the goblins as well as frightened by them as well. From what I read about them I knew that they were very powerful and I also read that they weren't the friendliest and Hagrid and Uncle said the same thing about them as well. Harry and I stuck close to Hagrid like he suggested that we did and when we reached the counter he told the goblin there that we wished to make a withdrawal but for some reason, the goblin only asked for Harry's key and not mine. Hagrid also said that he had something else from Dumbledore about 'you-know-what in vault you-know-which' to the goblin and with that said another goblin led us down to a chamber and onto a cart.
