It had been a few days since the small family of three had met up with the rest of the Weasley bunch, and in those three days Isaac has slowly been acclimating back to the European time zone.

Teddy was having a bit of difficulty with it as well, but seeing as he was still young, naps were something they could afford for him to have frequently.

And given that vampires don't ever truly get physically tired (they did get emotionally tired) Rosalie could hold Teddy for hours and not put him down if she needed to.

Though Isaac had brought his stroller out, so Rosalie knew they would be doing something fun today.

"So, what are we doing today?" Rosalie asked.

They had taken to exploring muggle London, which was nice, but Rosalie was really excited because today they'd be—

"We're going to be exploring Diagon Alley." Isaac said with a small smile.

Knowing that this is exactly what she'd been the most excited to do.

Though what Rosalie didn't know was that this visit has a secondary purpose that she wouldn't be aware of for a long while.

Rosalie gave an excited squeal that made Isaac grin at her.

"Then let's get going!" Rosalie said, suddenly much more excited and acting a lot like Alice did when she found a new shop to explore.

Isaac softly smiled as he set Teddy into his stroller and then they were going down the stairs and out the door that led to the Alley.

Rosalie was slightly confused by the brick wall, but she watched in complete awe as Isaac tapped his finger on certain bricks, and then the wall started to open up brick by magical brick.

...

The Alley was absolutely breathtaking, it was slightly similar to the Magical Alley back in Seattle, but it was much bigger and seemed to radiate this old magic.

The shops had this old quality about them, if Isaac hadn't told her that a lot of these shops had been rebuilt, she wouldn't have thought they were only about a year old as they looked so old fashioned.

Wood, brick, and cobblestone is what the alley and buildings were made out of.

Seeing all the magic in effect was something that Rosalie adored as she watched shoppers come and go, their shopping floating behind them, kids staring into windows, parents simply smiling and shaking their heads as they continued their shopping.

What really caught her attention was the large marble building (the only one in the alley) that seemed to defy physics (then again this is the magical world, science only slightly made sense when it came to magic) that people were coming in and out of in a constant flux.

"That's Gringotts, our Wixen bank where pretty much everyone keeps their money. We'll need to stop there before we continue looking through the alley, a lot of these shops are the usual, but there are also a lot of newer shops that would be interesting to look at." Isaac said.

Rosalie hummed as they started their trek to the bank.

It only took them a few minutes to walk the length of the alley to get to the bank, and it only took that long because of the crowd of people walking to different shops.

Thankfully it wasn't as crowded as it would've been if people were shopping for Hogwarts supplies.

There were three purposes for going to the bank today.

Two were a surprise, one of them, Rosalie would be learning today, the other, she would be learning around Christmas time. The last reason was to get some money of course.
