Chapter 17

August 8th 1992

The dueling tournament showed me my strengths and also my weaknesses for example I used no transfiguration in that any of those fights also my spell chaining could have been better and more precise my physical body also needs work if I am going to compete next year I think it's time for me to do the rituals this year.

I also need more spells thats more a time thing that I can take care of in the R.o.R .

I also need to do something about all this money and the pensive I should put it in Gringotts goblins won't ask question after all and I won 500 galleons from the dueling tournament and already had 10000 from the R.o.R so I can just say that I got money from that as I now can pay for school supplies .

Also my tie at the under-14 made it to the daily prophet a little artical about what happened and how a french veela attacked a british muggleborn and how I used a dark spell to take her down after she attacked me with a fireball.

August 21th 1992

I am making my way to the Leaky Cauldron after getting permisson from the matron.

I am going there to depoit my money in gringotts so I'm not carrying this much around every where with me along with the pensive.

Gringotts bank was an imposing snow-white multistoried marble building that towered over all the other shops walking inside I go to the nearest teller and say "I would like to open an account." The goblin just looks at me and says"Do you have the minnium deposit of seven galleons"

"Yes I do"

"Very well wizard follow me"he then leads me to the back office and I sign some papers and them a proof I had money then give my blood for a golden key is given to me.

We then made our way to the train to get into the vaults the train ride wasn't really all that enjoyable the speed was way too much me made it several meters in the ground and then it stopped.

"We're here"Says the goblin we then make it to a small vault and he says "key" I hand it over and he opens a empty vault and I then walk inside I then take out my one of my bottomless bags and place all my galleons except from 360 onto the ground that it should be enough for me and to get supplies for years and have enough to play around with seeing as the ministry pays for my tuition I don't have to worry about that.

Then I take out my pensive and place it on the ground along with the galleons.

I then turned and exited the vault and said" Thank you goblin that will be all."

"Very well wizard"we then got on the train cart back to the surface and I ask "What is your name goblin I'd hate to not know it."

"A wizard that wants to know a goblins name that is rare my name is skull crusher."

"Very well skull crusher I hope we can continue to do great buisness in the future." I then throw him a galleon which he catches with a smile.

I then left Gringott to go to Eeylops Owl Emporium to get me an owl when I arrive the shop is dark with cages all around with owl on the inside I walk around in front of the cages to see which owl would repond to me the most then finally I arrive in front of an owl labeled eurasian eagle owl it looks me dead in my eye and gives me nod and I nod back.

I then pay for the owl and its food and make my way back to the ophanage.

At the ophanage I arrive at my room and sit on the bed and release the owl after that the owl spreads its wings and flys over to me and lands on my shoulder his as I just found out talons sinking into my shoulder and looks me into the eye I just smile and say "comfortable are we" he just nods and looks at me"Well I suppose I should give you a name I'll call you longinus."The bird then nods his head in agreement.

I then write a letter to Mcgonagall explaining that I wouldn't need money for supplies and that I knew about the knights bus so I wouldn't need a teacher to apparate me.

August 28th 1992

The letters to of what supplies I would need for hogwarts arrived and included was Lockhearts book it almost made me regret paying for my own supplies but I didn't buy those infernal books i'd rather fail than buy them.

After restocking potions supplies I realized that I hadn't put enough effort into the subtle art it was dead useful and I am being a fool to ignor i'll worry about it when I get back to hogwarts.
