CHAPTER 3: diagon alley

They walk to the back of the leaky cauldron where there is a brick wall. Draco takes out his wand and starts tapping on some of the bricks in a special way. Camilla already knows what he's doing. She remembers seeing it in the first film. Then the bricks start opening up and there it is. Right in front of them. She pinches her arm again to make sure she was still awake, which makes him look at her a little worried. He takes her arm again and starts walking towards Gringotts. When she sees where they're going she stops. She just came here, how can she have any money?

"Let's go, the worst that will happen is that you don't have any money and if that's the case then I'll let you borrow some of my money so that you can get your supplies to school. Okay?"

She doesn't answer so he takes it as a yes and continues to drag her along to the bank. When they walk in she's taken back at how beautiful it is. So much more than in the films. The room is big with gold pillars going all the way to the roof. The floor has a beautiful pattern of brown, white and yellow/gold and on the sides, there were desks where goblins are working. They walk down to the end where one of the goblins she recognises as Griphook sits. Draco looks at her and nods.

"Excuse me? I wish to enter my vault," she says nervously.

"Name?"

"Camilla Kristiansen"

The goblin looks down to her and studies her face.

"Name?"

"What? I already told you Camilla Kri-" she starts, but Draco cuts her off.

"Wait, didn't it say another name in the letter. Say that name."

She takes out the letter and reads the name aloud. When she does, the whole place goes silent and everybody looks at her. Why? Has it something to do with that name? Camellia Withlock? People start to whisper and point at her. The goblin asks if she has her key, Camilla is confused, but then in her hand, a key appears just as the letter did. She studies it a little before she gives it to the goblin. It's a silver key with what looks like small leaf's going down the middle of it and on the top, it has three letters; CBW? Camellia something Withlock maybe?

"Your key?" He says again more irritated.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Here," she gives him her key and then they start going to her vault. They sit down in this weird waggon thing that kind of looks like a rollercoaster, just not as safe. They ride for a long time until they arrive before a big stone structure. From somewhere in the distance you can hear a roar of some kind. The closer they get to where the vault is the louder the sound gets. I wish Draco didn't have to wait upstairs. This is so much scarier than what Harry had to go through his first time.

They arrive at an opening. The goblin takes something out of a box and gives it to the girl before he gives one to himself. Now Camilla can see what made those terrifying sounds. A dragon. A big white dragon. The goblin starts to walk around the dragon while shaking the thing he took out earlier. Camilla does the same and follows him. When they are safely on the other side they start going up two floors to a vault that reads: B. Whitlock. The goblin opens up the first door by touching it and then he uses the key on the second door. He looks at her impatiently.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's my first time here."

"Are you sure this is your first time, miss Withlock?" the goblin asked, curious.

"Yes?" Griphook scoffs then indicates for her to go in. She does so and is amazed about what's inside. The room is big with money and other things made of gold, but there's something else inside that catches her blue eyes more. In the far left corner of the room is a small box with beautiful patterns of flowers painted in a royal blue. She walks towards it. It's almost like it calls for her. When she's coming closer to the box she can hear something whispering.

Come...

Take me...

Take what's rightfully yours...

Come on...

She takes the box and opens it and inside is a necklace with a white chain and a hint of pink in it with a water drop shaped blue orb hanging on the chain. It's beautiful. She takes it up to her neck and hooks it around her neck. The necklace starts glowing and for some reason, she feels different.

"Do you have everything you need?" the goblin enters the room. You can see by his behaviour that he's getting impatient. Camilla looks down at the necklace which is no longer glowing.

"Yes, I'm almost done," she says with a smile to the goblin.

"Draco!" someone shouts. He only met her again an hour ago, but he could recognise that voice everywhere.

"Did you get everything you needed?" he says with a smile. Not a smirk, but a genuine smile.

"Yes! Where to know?" she asks with her soft voice.

They start to walk down Diagon Alley and go into different shops. They get robes, books and they even went to get Camilla her very own owl. The feathers are black and white and the bird itself acts pretty majestically. Which she liked most about the owl. She, therefore, chose to call it Diana like the princess of Wales. While they were walking down towards Ollivanders' Draco couldn't keep his eyes off Camilla.

How can a girl that has this terrible past be so joyful? She smiles like she has no worry at all. But I can't get out of my head what happened when we first met. What she said. It's like she didn't know anything. What happened to her all those years she was missing? What made her like this?

There it is again. That smile she does every time she sees something new. Even her eyes show the same joy as her smile. They have this small glint in them that I hope never goes away. Maybe she doesn't remember at all or she's just good at acting.

I don't care what happened to her, what matters is that she's finally back again. And that I'll be able to see that smile more and more.

If only he knew...

(A/N) Hello! You'll get to see her owl in the next chapter. And in the next she'll get her wand and meet three famous characters.

Can you guess who?

See you in next chapter!
