Feeling slightly dizzy, I opened my eyes and shook my head watching as Izzy copied me, a giggle escaping my lips. I looked up and I took in my surroundings.
Diagon Alley! It never seemed to change, looking down the cobbled alley always made my insides turn from excitement.
There where shops selling robes and telescopes, cauldrons and globes of the moon, windows were stacked with goods , tottering piles of spell books and quills, rolls of parchment and potion bottles stacked on shelves for all students to see.
witches and wizards were bustling around carrying items they had purchased, children trailing behind them looking at Hogwarts letters and listing of things they still need end to get.
"Sweetheart" my mother called from through the crowed, I noticed I had fallen behind, Izzy was wriggling around, wanting down to crawl but I couldn't, It was too dangerous.
"Not now Izzy its too dangerous, I don't need you getting hurt do I now" I said tapping her on the nose, she giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck as I walked to catch up with mum and dad.
I caught up to mum and dad who were standing outside the snowy white building, Gringotts the wizarding bank. the most safest place in the world. We walked inside and Izzy hid her face in the crook of my neck as she took one look at the goblins.
"Its okay Izzy, they won't hurt you" I whispered kissing her temple as I watched dad hand the small golden key to our vault to the goblin who was perched behind the high counter.
We climbed into the strange cart and whizzed deep down further under the ground, all the way down to our vault
Vault 674
We climbed out of the small cart as the goblin put the key in the key hole, opening the door to allow us to see inside, revealing to us my mother and fathers life savings. inside were mounds of gold coins. Columns of silver and heaps of little bronze Knut's. I took the leather purse from my mothers hands and sat Izzy on the inside of the vault allowing her to help me fill the purse. Of course Izzy was only interested in the big gold coins.
Once I had enough money for all of this years school supplies and most likely next years, I grabbed Izzy placing her on my hip and allowed the goblin to close the vault while we clambered back into the cart.
After another wild cart ride, we climbed out of the cart and set of back out to diagin alley, were we were greeted by blinding sun light.
"Darling, here's your list" my mother said, handing me a folded piece of parchment "Now, your father and I are going to the leaky cauldron. Can you manage yourself? Do you want me to take Izzy?" I shook my head "Nah, I'll take her, she can help me , won't you Izzy?" I said looking at Izzy and poking her cheeks.
"Okay, see you soon" she said giving me a hug. "Look after Izzy," my dad said patting me on the back while I nodded and kissed his cheek.
"Now Izzy," I said as we started making our way down Diagon Alley, "what do we need to get" I asked her as I opened the folded parchment my mother gave to me.

"Wow that's a lot" I thought as I finished reading through the list, Izzy looked at me nodding her head as I looked at her confused face. "Well, gotta start somewhere, let's start with robes then" I told her as I lead us to Madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions.
We walked through the door and immediately a woman, I'm assuming was Madam Malkin's, had me standing on a small stool while Izzy was crawling around the floor playing with some left over fabric she found.
"My dear, you look a lot older than first year, Hogwarts is it?" Madam Malkin's questioned as she measured the length of my arms . "Hogwarts? Yes, first year? No. I'm a transfer from... Primthington Academy.", I told her.
"Oh I see, well I never really like Primthington Academy and by the looks of it, you didn't either." She said to me before she walked off to the railing where she grabbed the Hogwarts uniform in my size and with a flick of her wand, my new uniform was wrapped in brown paper.
"There you go my dear, I hope you have a better time at Hogwarts than you did at Primthington." She told me. I thanked her and paid before picking Izzy up and walking out of the store.
Next was Flourish and Blotts to purchase all of my school books. We walked inside seeing shelves full of books of all different shapes and sizes. I walked over to the stall furthest from the door, hoping that I would find some of my school books there. Then Izzy, being the little rascal that she is, started pulling books off the shelves. "No Izzy, don't do that" I told her sternly as I put her down on the floor along with my box of school robes so that I could pick up the books Izzy had pulled off the shelf.
"Here let me help" said an unfamiliar voice from behind me. I turned around to see a small boy with red hair and freckles bending down to help pick up the books.
"I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley. Are you in Hogwarts? I'm starting this year."he said to me putting his hand out for me to shake. I stood up and shook his hand "Skylar Flynn but call me Sky, I'm a transfer starting third year"
"Third year? My brothers are in third year, hold on a second, Fred... George... C'mere" Ron shouted as he jogged off to find his brothers.
I had just turned around to pick Izzy back up when I looked down... Nothing.
The small toddler was gone....
