Now, Where Should We Begin? (Weasley Twins)

Chapter 3 - Flashback Continued

The following day after Minerva claimed to have arranged a place for the two to sleep, Kennedy found herself walking alongside the Women up to a dark little pub that sat on the corner of a street a few hours away from her home.

Upon entering the little building a few people turned their heads in the there direction before they continued on with what they were doing, not even giving the two a second glance. As they walked past the bar area Kennedy felt a pair of eyes blazing into the back of her head.

Turning around she saw a man with black hair and an outfit that made him look like a nun staring at her rather intensely. She continued to stare back at the man, only for him to disappear in a cloud of smoke when she began to follow Minerva through a door and into a small little outer area where a large brick wall sat incasing the two.

"Umm.. Minerva-?"

"Mrs. McGonagall." The professor correct her, only trying to get the girl used to her last name so when she found out that she would be her professor, the transition would be easier.

"Sorry. Mrs. McGonagall, why are we standing out here by a bunch of trashcans..?" Kennedy asked as she jumped off of small brick that was on the ground, still rather confused with the whole wizard situation.

Though the women never really verbally answered her question, McGonagall grabbed her wand as she walked forward only to tap the bricks a few times before she returned to her spot by Kennedy who stared at the women with doubt clear in her eyes.

Just as Kennedy was about to ask yet another question, the bricks in front of her began to rearrange themselves, causing her to stand wide eyed as she watched a whole new world quite literally unfold in front of her.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley, Kennedy." McGonagall said smiling rather proudly as she grabbed the smaller girls shoulder to lead her into the crazy streets full of strange sights that Kennedy was amazed to see.

Making sure she stayed close to the women, Kennedy looked all around her at all the rather fancy shaped buildings, and funky dressed people around her while a smile slowly made its way onto her face.

Glancing to her right, the girl saw a shop full of different brooms with Witches and Wizards of all ages sitting inside awaiting for their brooms to be fixed or to get a new one. Looking beyond that shop and to her left, there was another shop full of caged owls, spiders, toads, rats and even a few cats here and there.

Looking back ahead of her McGonagall seemed to be leading Kennedy to a large white building with beautiful details surrounding its exterior. Many people of all sizes entered and left the building either smiling or grumbling to themselves.

"What is this place, Mrs. McGonagall?" Kennedy asked as they arrived at the doors of the building.

"Gringotts Bank. How else do you expect to pay for everything on that list of yours, hm? Oh, by the way I'd stick close if I were you. Goblins are rather.. prickly creatures sometimes."

As the two entered the building Kennedy was faced with a very large brightly lit room that had beautiful dark marble designs all over the place, with creepy wrinkly creatures ordering each other around on the white floors while others typed away on their typewriters as they sat high up on these fancy wooden stands.

"But how can I have an account if I've never been here before?" Kennedy questioned as they walked along the marble floor path.

"You mean a vault? Everyone has a vault created for them from the moment they're born a wizard. Yours in particular is a bit complicated. Let's just say your father had it arranged years ago." McGonagall informed her as they walked to the very front desk where a rather angry creature sat before he looked up to see the women who stood next to a smaller child.
