Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. You should really know that by now though, even by just looking at my profile. :P

A/N: If you don't like, don't read. It's that simple.

Last Chapter: When I look up, I see Theo already reading over my shoulder. When he finishes, he smiles. I say happily, "We got in!"

I grab Theo, and we to an on-the-spot celebration dance.

We both chorus, "Yes!"

-Time Skip: After Celebrating For A While-

Theo and I settle down after a bit, and we start writing a response.

-August 9th, 1991-

Harry's POV

Theo and I walk to the Leaky Cauldron, chatting amiably. We use the directions that Professor McGonagall provided us with, from within her return letter. Right now, the charm that my mum put on him, is cancelled. Well, sort of. Anyone can see him, but the charm will activate if he feels threatened and/or upon our return to the barn. Well, and he has a glamour on to hide his ears and tail. We don't want any unnecessary attention after all.

We get there after about an hour of walking. We walk inside and go up to the barkeep. He looks up upon our approach.

He asks, "Wha' da yae be needin' laddies?"

I say, "Can you point us to Diagon Alley please? We need to get our school supplies."

He nods. He moves around the counter and taps someone that's sitting down, on the shoulder. The lady looks up.

He asks, "'laine, coul' yae halp 'ese laddies 'nto Diagon?"

She nods.

He grins, "Than' yae 'laine."

She smiles, "It's no problem Tom."

She stands up and gestures for us to follow her. She leads us out the back door. All that seems to be back here is a brick wall, and a place for employees to take a break.

But then, she takes out her wand and taps the bricks three up and two across.

Nothing seems to happen for a moment, but then the bricks start to form a hole and they make an entrance to the alley.

Theo says, "Thank you miss."

She smiles, "Happy to help. Have fun."

She walks back inside.

Theo and I walk through the entrance and into the alley. The brick wall disappears from behind us. We follow the directions Professor McGonagall included, to Gringotts. I guess that I have money in there.

We come upon a huge white building. We walk up the steps. There are two guard-goblins stationed at the door. We bow to them as custom, and we both read the writing above the huge doors. The writing says, " 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."
