It's been a three weeks since I had found out about my father's side of the family. Two weeks since I had gotten my Hogwarts letter telling me I was invited to attend a school where I will learn to control my magic. I have less than a month left at camp and today was the day Professor Dumbledore decided to take me to a place called Diagon Alley. We flew through the fire place to get here. Quite odd if you ask me. Apparently it was a secret place where only witches and wizards knew about, anyone with magical blood went to the secluded area to get any type of magical supplies. I looked at my list of things I have to get for school:
UNIFORM
1. Three sets of plain black robes
2. One plain pointed hat (black) for day wear
3. One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar)
4. One winter cloak (black with silver fastenings)
Please note that all pupils' clothes should carry name tags.

I look at Professor Dumbledore, not having a single clue as to where I should go to get my things. Dumbledore looked down at me with kind eyes. A smile was etched upon his lips, and a sparkle was in his eyes.
"Why don't we get some money to pay for all of this?" I nodded very confused. The only money I have was the golden drachmas I had for emergencies.
"But Professor, I don't have any money, I only have Ancient Greek currency. And I'm quite positive that the wizardly world does not pay with drachmas." The old man smiled more, it that was possible.
"My dear, your father left you plenty of wizardry money, intact your mother has left some in your vault as well. All we need to do is go visit the bank." The bank? I have money? Wait, mom left me money? I looked at Dumbledore, clearly shocked that I had money. He only chuckled. "Well let's get a move on, we haven't all day. And I'm quite sure you want to spend the rest of the day with your friends." I quickly nodded my head and followed the white haired man to a huge white building. It sorta looked like a Greek building with white columns and a dome rooftop. It looked really cool. A gold plated sign was mounted above the staircase, I couldn't really read it due to my dyslexia, but it looked like Ginqofts. I looked to the old man beside me for some help. He chuckled and smiled.
"It reads Gringotts, this is where all your money will be kept." With that he turns away from me and makes his way to the entrance of the building. Inside it looked fairly normal I guess, the only thing that really caught my attention was the little creatures that ran the stands. They were quit horrifying really. The creatures were no taller than four feet, they had pointed ears and nose, black beady eyes and yellow pointed teeth. I was about to reach for my daggers when Dumbledore stopped me.
"They are goblins, they will not harm you unless you become a threat." Nodding I removed my hand from my earring and shoved them into my jeans pockets. After a few minutes it was our turn to speak with the goblin. Dumbledore spoke with the thing
