Vera the Dragon Hybrid

Diagon Ally

Vera's P.O.V

We left and made our way to Diagon Ally. I knew where it was but I've never went. He lead us to an old run down bar. A sign read 'The leaky Couldron' and by the looks of it, it's invisible to muggles. We entered and the inside was alive with witches and wizards. It actually didn't look as bad as it did in the outside. We got a few looks and some people greeted Hagrid  so it wasn't unwanted attention. I'm glad I didn't look that obvious that I haven't been around humans - muggles or wizards in a while. I followed Hagrid and he made his way to the back through a door. We were greeted by a brick wall and though I couldn't see it I knew there was an entrance to wizarding London somewhere on this wall. Hagrid tapped the wall three times on some of the bricks in a pattern and it started to move aside forming a doorway.

"Welcome Vera, to Diagon Ally" he said and I stared in awe at the shops that stood infront of me. I honestly never thought that all this could be hidden in here right behind a wall. But then again we are talking about wizards.

The streets were filled with wizards and witches of all ages. Most of them looked liked parents taking their kids shopping for the new school year.
"Where are we going first?" I asked.
"Well you have your list?" He paused giving me time to respond and when I did answer yes he continued, "ok we have to go to Gringotts first to get your money."
I nodded and followed him to the huge building that has a dragon statue on the roof. I knew Gringotts was the equivalent of a muggle bank and it's under high security. From what I've heard though Hogwarts is the only place more safe than Gringotts.

I didn't know how I'll be able to get money because I didn't know if my parents vault was open to me. When we entered the bank the first thing I saw was some creatures that I knew to be goblins. They were everywhere. When I think about it it makes sense though. Goblin magic is stronger than most magical creature including wizards. Only the house elves magic could rival theirs. The full extent of goblins magic is unknown since wizards were always at war with them and implemented laws to make them restrain their magic.

The second thing I saw was this poem. It was beautiful while also saying about the dangers one can encounter below if they are not with pure intentions. It was as follows:

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.

Now I'm sure you can agree with me that it was beautiful.

When we went up to one of the goblins he asked our names and for the key to my vault. I didn't have the key but to my surprise Hagrid did. He handed the key to the goblin and we waited for an escort. He came shortly after and lead us to a cart.
"Vault 634 this way" the goblin called. We got into the cart and it went downwards. It probably was one of the deepest vaults since we were going down for a while. The ride was fun since it didn't differ from air diving in my dragon form.
We arrived at my vault and when the goblin opened it I gasped. It was full of galleons and other treasures that I had no idea belonged to my family. I turned and asked if it was the right vault and the goblin replied that they never made mistakes. I put a handful of the gold coins in a bag and left the rest. It was safer here since I don't need it. We left and headed to the shops to get what I needed. We finished almost everything and I only needed a wand. We headed to Olivanders and I got lucky on the fourth try. It was a phoenix feather and Holly twelve and a half inches.
It had some delicate carvings leading from the base to tip wrapping around like a vine. I had to say I loved it.

As we were leaving Hagrid asked to buy me something. I told him not to but he insisted so I looked for something. I didn't see anything that caught my eye other than the magical menagerie. I knew I already had a pet but I still went in. It was filled with lots of animals and since I already had an owl I walked through the rest of the sections. One cat caught my attention. It was a black cat and it was cute and mysterious. I asked about him and learned that his name was Shadow. He was brought in a while ago as a kitten but no one wanted him because of his colour. I found nothing wrong with his colour.

In the end Hagrid bought me Shadow and we left the store. On my way out I remembered I had something to ask him so I asked.
"Hagrid, mind telling me how you had my vault key?"
"Got it from professor Dumbledore. He gave me, said it's fer your vault. Didn't ask him any questions" He stated.

I'll have to ask when I reach him. Maybe my parents gave him.

We arrived back at The Leaky Couldron in no time. The crowd had eased and we made it out without trouble. When Hagrid dropped me back at where I was, we said our goodbyes and I placed a spell on myself using my new wand to test it. I usually just do wandless magic. The spell made me invisible to anyone- muggles and wizards. It was a spell my parents taught us at a young age. Our magic as dragons and dragon hybrids was strong and thus we could perform wandless magic at a very young age.

I transformed into my dragon and flew up to a roof getting ready to take a nap since I was tired.
