As I exited Ollivanders, I looked around and glanced at the street in front of me. It looked like something that could only be possible in a dream.

I still couldn't help but think that this was all just a big joke. I had seen magic right before my face but there was still a part of me that didn't believe it. But, I really don't think that anyone could blame me because it was all so sudden.

For someone like me, these things just didn't happen. Good things don't happen to children who have been abandoned. That's how it has been all my life. I lost any ounce of hope the second my mother left me in that orphanage.


But this. This is something I have never experienced before. This is the first time something great has happened to me. That's the only reason I choose to go along with this. I just need to grasp any chance that I get and this happens to be one. I go join Clara and we start walking towards a large building.


"What is that place?" I asked here while pointing to the giant marble building that we were heading to.


"It's called Gringotts." Clara responded


I looked at her weirdly. "What type of name is that?"


"It is a name the owners came up with. Don't judge a building because of its name. Infact, this is probably the most safest place to store your precious item. It is basically a bank." She told me.


"Thank you philosopher Clara." I respond with a smile plastered on my face


"Your welcome." Clara says to me with the same smile that I gave her.


I had payed for my wand with a couple of coins that Clara had given me but I didn't realize that I would need to buy so many things!


"Um Clara how will I pay for all my things? I don't have any money!"


"When your mother dropped you of at the orphanage, she didn't say much, but she did give me this" Clara took something out her pocket. It was a charm bracelet with several different charms in various shapes and sizes. The largest one stood out to me. It was a key.


"She told me to give this to you when the time was right. That's how I knew that she too was a wizard. That's all I know about your parents though."


"Wow! This is so cool." I felt a small tear forming in my eye I just didn't know why. This is mine! I have something that belongs to me! All these years, I have never had a single object that solely belonged to me. I grasp the charm bracelet tightly in my fist. In a couple of moments, Clara helps me put it on with a smile.


"On this charm bracelet is a key that opens your vault inside. Vault number 1528. I have never been there so I do not know how much or how little will be inside. Now follow me."


We went inside, all I could do was stare as we walked down a large hallway. Through the large doors was a large, marble room that was magnificently carved and I found it beautiful. Then there were the these creatures, Clara said they were goblins, they looked kinda short in my perspective.


"Key please." I jump as I realize we are at the end of the hallway we were walking through and were confronted by a goblin at a wooden podium.


"Of course." Clara says as she hand him the key


The goblin inspects the key and then returns it to Clara.


"Wand please."


"Very well." Clara takes my wand and hands it to him.


"Good." He says as he inspects it. "Follow me."


He led us to a cart thing. We climbed in and it started to move. I won't describe it because it was terrible. I have always hated roller coasters and this experience reminded me too much of one.


When we came to a stop, he led us to a door that he opened with a key. When I looked inside there were coins everywhere. Some were bronze, some silver and some were also gold. Clara handed me a tiny velvet bag that I put some handfuls of each coin in.


"Good now come on, we should continue shopping." Clara reminds me.


And with that, the goblin leads us back to the cart thing that took us back to the surface. Once we got there, we left to continue getting the supplies I need for Hogwarts.
