THE TWO children gasped when they saw what existed behind the brick wall. Shops sat as far as the eye could see. Children happily ran around holding wands and all sorts of toys in the air, parents chasing after them.

The shops were filled with all sorts wonders. Ones that Jinx could have never even imagined.

One with brooms; Quality Quidditch Supplies, another with clothing; Madam Malkins, and one even with magical creatures.

The three walked side by side for a moment in silence, the younger two taking in everything around her.

The sight of it all only made her mind turn more. "Hagrid How can I possibly be a witch? That type of stuff isn't real?"

"Well. Yer better get used to it cause it is real. And yer was born one. Now, this will all be explained later but for right now we need to get yer school supplies, or else yer'll miss yer train!"

"School supplies?" Harry asked.

"It should be in yer letter!"

Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out a list of School supplies. "All students must be equipped with one standard size two pewter cauldron, and may bring if they desire either an owl, cat or toad."

"A pewter what." Jinx looked up at Hagrid.

"I assume it's for potions." Hagrid looked around at the shops around them. "Now we must stop at Gringotts first...seeing as neither of you has any money."

The three traveled through the rows of buildings, until they stood in front of the building at the end of it all. It was white and stood at least three stories tall, unlike the other shops it stood still, its presence was more quiet.

The three entered the building, desks were perfectly lined up forming columns. Goblin like creatures sat at the top of each desk working, writing endlessly on paper.

They approached the Goblin that sat at the end of the columns, at the tallest desk.

Hagrid began speaking with the goblin and while he did Jinx observed the ceiling above them, statues dangled from the ceiling, and stone curled in shape around the corners of the room.

"Jinx?"

"Huh?" Hagrid gained Jinx's attention. She looked back to the goblin who was staring wide-eyed at her, like he had known something about her that she apparently didn't.

"Jinx yeah! That's me!" He stared down at her a few moments longer before nodding.

Hagrid reached into his pocket and pulled out two black keys, "Here yer are!" He handed them off to the goblin who inspected them carefully.

"Professor Dumbledore gave me this" Hagrid pulled out an envelope and handed it to the Goblin once he was done inspecting the keys. "It's about you know what in vault you know which..."

Jinx and Harry exchanged a glance, both clearly curious about what was in the vault Hagrid talked about.

"Very well" the Goblin nodded.

The three were guided away by a smaller goblin, he led them to an elevator that took them far underground.

They traveled by wagon, it soared through the underground. Fallon laughed as they went and the wind blew through her hair and face.

Thousands of vaults were stretched to occupy the bank, the numbers to each one getting higher the longer they traveled.

"Hagrid look it's so pretty!"
