Leo's Pov,

Looking around Diagon Alley I let a smile grow on my face, I always love to come here it's so much fun.... things to see. People to meet..... it's j-. Slamming into someone we both fall to the ground making me get ready to curse at the person before I see a girl my age with a big pile of messy hair as she starts to pick her books up.

"I-I'm so sorry." She says but I move on my knees as I start to help her. "N-no it's my fault, I'm sorry here let me help you." I say as I take the books from her and get up, holding my hand out for her I give her a smile as she takes it making me pull her up. "Wow did you rob the bookstore." I say as I look the books over and her cheeks turn a shade of red. "I have you know that these ar-" 

"What you need for your first year at Hogwarts, I know I'm uhm on my way to buy them myself." I say as I hand her the books back. "Y-you are?" 

"Leonidas Black." I say as I hold my hand out for her. "Hermione Granger." She shyly says as she takes it and I lean down before placing a peck on the top of her hand. "Alright Mister, many things to see and even more things to buy now come on." Mother says as Hermione's cheeks look the same color of a tomato right now. "I-i Uhm it was nice to meet you, I uhm yes! Bye!" 

"Bye!" I say after her as she starts to walk over to her parents, I think? They look like muggles? Not that there is anything wrong with that grandfather and Mother are half-bloods and that doesn't make them fewer good wizards.

"She seemed nice." 

"Was that before or after you kissed her hand." Mother states as we walk over to Gringotts to withdraw money to but everything we need. "Didn't you tell me about proper manners and showing respect?" I counter with a raised brow as I look at her. "I also taught you to pay attention to your surroundings and to not bump into people." She now counters as we walk into the bank and the many and I mean many goblins do their work. 

Walking over to the end of the line I have to really look up since the Goblin sits so high up. "Mr Leonidas Black wishes to make a withdrawal." Mother says making the Goblin look down upon me with his sharp teeth, long pointed nails and well a very and I mean very large nose. 

"And does Mr Black have one of his keys?" The goblin asks making Mother pull out four keys before turning towards me. One is of my birth mother's vault, the other is off of my birth father, the other is off of House Black and then the other is what mother and grandfather set up all very confusing to be honest. 

"Can't we just transfer everything to one vault?" I ask the Goblin who raises his brow at me. "There is too much for one vault to contain, Mr Black." He says and my mouth opens but no words come out. "As you can see Mr Black has his key." Mother says and I just nod my head as I take one and hold it out towards him. "See." 

"So I'm like super-duper ric-" I start before it turns into a groan as mother slaps the back of my head and we walk after one of the goblins. Reaching a cart, we get in with the goblin and soon my eyes widen as we start to make our way quickly down the track down into the large cave system! 

"This is awesome!" I yell as we pass another corner while I know Mother just rolled her eyes at me as I can't stop the laughter from leaving my lips the longer and longer the trip is! They say that the oldest and best protected vaults lay deeper below the surface and belong to the oldest and wealthiest wizarding families. 

Coming to a stop I soon hop out of the cart and help Mother out next while the Goblin walks towards a large door. "Vault 541" He says as me and mother walk over to it. "Key please." He now says and I hand him the key that he puts into the keyhole while his finger runs down the door.... some vaults will not open without a Goblins touch or something like that?
