Chapter 9 - Gringots and School Shopping

As they entered Isabella observed her surroundings, diagon alley was just like in the movies and books it had arched shop on both sides and many people were entering and exiting the shops. Some of them were dressed in normal clothing like them while some wore robes and pointed hats they were obviously wizards.

Emma and John were really shocked by their surroundings, it was too much for them to take in.

While they were lost in their thoughts Professor Mcgonagall said "first we'll exchange money then go for shopping" "exchange money, where?" asked John "in the gringots the wizard's bank"," wizards have a bank" exclaimed John, "ofcourse, now let's go" replied Mcgonagall and started walking ahead the rest followed behind her.

After walking for some minutes they arrived in front of a tall white marble building, it was arched just like the other buildings, a dragon was placed at the top it looked majestic two short creatures were standing in front of the tall gates as she entered isabella took in the lines inscribed on the door

" Enter Stranger

But take heed

For what awaits the sin of greed

For those who take, but do not earn

Must pay dearly in return

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"

After reading this warning Isabella thought although the poem was good and a little intimidating but this place in the original work was brokent in twice once by voldemort and second time by a group of teenagers that was really umm...not good.

She stopped thinking about these things as they approached a desk with a old looking goblin siting at it.

The goblin looked at the group in front of her and said in a sharp tone "Hogwarts first year"," yes, they want to exchange some money for school shopping", the goblin looked at them and said "five pounds can be exchanged for one galleon how much do you want to exchange"," ten thousand pounds" replied John while pushing the briefcase forward, the goblin opened the briefcase counted the money and after confirming it was real gave them a little bag saying "this bag has two thousand galleons", the exchange was complete so they left the bank, it was beautiful marble floors and shining chandeliers on th roof just like in the movies and the goblins were same to bad tempered and sharp tongued.

As they exited Isabella whispered to John you "go and collect information about the wizarding world and how can we enter the buisness in wizarding world"," but the shopping, my lady"," emma can accompany me your task is more important" after nodding his head John left and Isabella approached professor Mcgonagall "so where do we go first professor"," let's go to Madam malkin's she makes the best student clothes"," ok than let's go then" the three of them walked towards the shop as they neared the gate Mcgonagall said "you both go and collect your student robes I will go and buy the books so we can save some time"" fair enough" answered Isabella, then Mcgonagall left and Isabella enters the shop with emma as they entered she saw a short woman standing the woman turned towards them and asked "first year my dear"," yes" replied isabella, madam malkin looked at the little beautiful and adorable girl infront of her and told her to stand on a stool while she took her measurement with a moving magical measuring tape.

After she was done taking measurements emma said "please have the robes made in silk and the best fabric", "ok, but it would cost around nearly fifty galleons"," no problem but they must be the best and comfortable" "oh ofcourse" she looked at these rich customers with sparkling eyes.

She said then can collect the robes in two hours after hearing that both of them left the shop, as them exited the shop professor Mcgonagall approached them

After two three hours they completed the shopping and collected the student robes as well and emma bought a white owl hearing that it was the only way of communication, now only one thing was left to buy the most important thing her wand.
