Orphan Witch

Chapter Two

I get up as someone knocks on my door. I open the door. Cedric is standing out side, holding a small package.

"I heard today is your eleventh birthday," he informs me. "So I got you a present."

"Thank you," I say as I open it. It is a necklace, but I honestly don't know what the charm is.

"The charm is a golden snitch."

I thank him again and he offers to help me find my things.

"Can I just clean up?" I ask. He nods his head and I close the door. I find clothes in a trunk. All my size and a note. 'No more having to steal clothes- Dumbledore'. I laugh and grab a blue dress and flip flops. I clean up and change.

I braid my hair to the side and put on my shoes. I head out of the room and meet Cedric downstairs. We head to the back of the building and Cedric hits certain bricks in a pattern.

"Stand back," he laughs. The wall splits in half and my jaw drops. Cedric laughs and shakes his head. He starts walking, and I quickly catch up with him.

"Where to first?" I ask him.

"Gringot's," he informs me. "We need to get our money."

Before I could argue with him, he just walks off. I run after him and catch up. We walk into a huge white building with a glass building.

Creatures are all along the place, leaving a long walkway. One snarls at me and I look away. We get to the end and is behind a couple. Shit. That couple is my parents. I try to act calm.

"Well my daughter is not allowed in the vault," my mother screams at the main one.

"If she has the key, she can enter."

My mother huffs and turn around. She looks at me with disgust and my father looks disappointed.

"Well, well," he says. "Looks like the trash is here."

He takes a step forward and Cedric pushes me behind him. My father chuckles.

"Looks like you have a body guard," my mother chuckles. They leave the bank and Cedric keeps in between me and them. Once they are out the door, he turns to who was taking to my parents.

"I would like to make a withdraw," Cedric says.

"Your wand or your key."

Cedric pulls out his wand from his back pocket and give it to the one in charge. He gives it back and one of the others come. Cedric pulls me along with him. We get in a cart and it takes off down the track.

We stop at a vault and we head in. There is many piles of coins that are either gold, silver, or bronze. He starts getting a bunch of money. I stand by the door, waiting.

"What's what?" I ask him.

"Gold is Galleon, silver is Sickle, and bronze is Knut."

I nod my head and we leave.
