To pass the time Edwin tried to do wandless magic since he doesn't have a wand, but it was a failure no matter how much effort he had put into moving a piece of paper it won't move from the same spot that it was in, when Edwin's frustration was about to meet it's limit Wendy enter the room" Get dress we're going to Diagon alley" Wendy stated " Come on hurry up!"

With a rush, Edwin went and get dress.

They arrived at the Leaky cauldron an old pub that is located between a record and a book store, the pub clearly shows its age. inside the pub there are people eating and drinking, they all had on robes and was talking about stuff that if someone who didn't know about magic would think their mad.

Wendy walked up to the barkeep and asked" can you open the entrance for us? "

"sure no problem" the man replied

The man walked to up a cobblestone wall and begun to tap the wall, the wall then open to show a cobblestone road with people and shops all over it looked as though the wizarding world never moved past the medieval era, Edwin knew for a fact that most of the wizard rather magic than use muggle inventions, but some of the wizards are in amazement of it .

" We have to go and exchange our money" Wendy said while leading Edwin to a towering white building that could only be the wizarding bank Gringotts at the door was, Enter, stranger, but take heed Of what awaits the sin of greed For those who take, but do not earn, Must pay most dearly in their turn. 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.

The halls of Gringotts is also snowy white with high ceiling with torches hanging high, the teller of the bank are light skin goblin's that looked very angry, Wendy walked to an empty teller " Excuse me Mr. Bogrod, I want to exchange some pounds to Galleons "

Bogrod looked at Wendy" how much do you want to exchange, the rate is 5 pounds to galleons with a charge of 5 sickles"

Wendy took out five-thousand dollars and exchange it, Wendy then start an account in Gringotts for Edwin and herself it had cost 10 galleons to start the account, she then put a hundred galleons in Edwin's account and received his key.

"let's get your supplies"

" can have my key?" Edwin asked" please "

" No, you're still in trouble from fighting "

" Not my fault... they tried to beat me... did you want me to let them?" Edwin said and walked away only to turn back because he didn't know where he was going, the was silence between Edwin and Wendy, she didn't know what to say she knew that Edwin wasn't wrong for defending himself, but had to do something about it.
