I woke up to the sound of my mother's voice coming from downstairs.

"Lila dear, wake up you don't want to be late!"

The suns blinding rays shined onto my milky skin. I got to my feet. My eyes still dreamy as I motioned myself to the bathroom. Once out. I changed into the most comfortable clothes I could find in my walk-in-closet, A baggy pair of jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. I slipped into them and rushed downstairs to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

Mom and Dad had just finished up and were heading down the hallway. I ate vigorously and managed to find them in the dinning room.

Liam was still in bed sleeping along with Ruby. His child-like qualities never ceases to amaze me.

"You got your letter?" my mom asked.

"Yes, here it is!" I took it out of my pocket and held it out.

"Right then, lets go!" dad held out his hand and I managed to grab it just before we disapparated.

When my feet touched the ground once more and my surroundings had stopped moving. I gingerly saw a long, thin road with stores which stretched a distance on both sides. People were huddling around outdoor displays and by windows.

"Hey look its the new Nimbus 2000!"

"Fastest broom there is" said two boys with there faces plastered against a window.

I could see "Madison's Mysteries" a few stores away from where we had disapparated. It was a two-story grey, marble building with the name  imprinted in golden letters. It was a cache store because you could only enter with approval first and you were taken down a secret staircase to the store filled with antiques and other valuables.

"Here we are... Diagon Alley!" my father cooed happily as he scanned the surroundings.

"First, we'll go to Gringotts to get your savings." my mom said pointing to a white, multistoried marble building called Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

We entered through two sets of large doors. I carefully read the writing on the silver door as we entered.

"Enter stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn.

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned.

Beware.

Of finding more than treasure

There.
=========================

We entered a long hallway with counters stretching along its length. I watched radiantly as the goblins were dismally counting gold, silver and bronze galleons, writing and stamping parchment and many other things. We found an empty counter and walked towards it.

"My daughter, Ms Madison would like to make a withdrawal." my mom said.

The goblin leaned forward, making his face visible. He looked at me callous with his black, beady eyes.
