I saw the red-haired family walking towards a huge building with the words 'Gringotts Bank' inscribed at the top. I followed them inside, and to my shock, I saw what looked like goblins running around carrying papers! The red haired girl handed a key to one of the goblins and said "Hello, my name is Ginny Weasley. I'm here to see vault 248." The goblin took the key and waved his hand in a 'follow me' gesture. Ginny, Harry, and the other Weasleys reluctantly followed. 'Oh no.' I thought. 'I need supplies to go to Hogwarts, and money to get supplies. I don't have any kind of money. Muggle or magic.' Unfortunatly, I was next in line. The goblin leaned so close I could see every single wart on his long pointy nose. "Do you have your key?" He asked in a 'give me the key or get lost' tone. "No-I mean-yes.- Of course!- I mean n-n-no. I don't have a key." I stuttered. "NEXT!" The goblin yelled. "Griphook," Said a voice from somewhere behind me. "Sorry for holding up the line, but she can use my key." I whipped around to see an elderly man with long gray hair and an even longer grey beard. He wore a purple cloak and held a brown wand. "Very well Dumbledore." Griphook sighed. "You two, follow me." As we walked through the eerie hallway, Dumbledore spoke. "So, are you headed to Hogwarts?" He asked. "Yes." I answered. "I'm a student there. This is my first year. I always had a feeling magic existed, despite what my adoptive parents told me." I saw him smile. "Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you there." I was curios now."What do you mean?" He chuckled. "I'm the headmaster there. We'll be seeing each other quite often. By the way, what's your name?" I wasn't expecting this. "My name is Raven, I don't know my last name. I-I never knew my parents." We came to a stop at a giant door. I wondered what lied behind the door. Griphook took the key out of his pocket, and slid it into the lock. The door opened and I saw piles and piles of golden coins. Dumbledore knelt down and handed me a large fist full of coins. "There." He said. "That should be enough for you to buy all of your school supplies,-along with a few treats on the train." I thanked him I don't even know how many times, and followed Griphook back up the hallway. I stepped out of the bank. I hadn't realized how foggy the air in the bank was until I stepped outside. I didn't know where I could find a wand, a robe, a basic selection of spell books, a potion guide, and a cauldron. Thankfully, I saw the Weasley family, they seemed to be heading towards a small store called 'Ollivanders Wand Shop.'
