> leaky cauldron, my room <

i woke up with the sun shining in my eyes. opening them slowly, i turned to the clock on my nightstand. it read 7:10. yawning, i sat up in my bed. i lay there for a second, petting yami, and thinking about the day i had ahead of me. soon, though, i heard what sounded like music coming from next door. i slapped myself, thinking it was me still caught in a dream. but no, as i listened longer, i could hear it was coming from next door. seraphic? if it was her, she played beautifully.

when the music stopped, i got up and went to get ready. i took a shower, got dressed, and packed up what wasn't already packed with a quick spell.

> leaky cauldron, corridor <

seeing that everything was in order, i dragged it out into the corridor. when i arrived at seraphic's door, it opened, and she walked out, right into me. i lost balance for a second, but quickly regained it. "oh, sorry!" she exclaimed, blushing a little. 'no problem.' i said. 'guess you're an early bird too! was that your cello i heard?' i asked. "yeah. i didn't think anyone would hear. guess the walls aren't soundproof, then?" 'maybe not,' i said, laughing. 'shall we?' i asked seraphic, allowing her to move past, and i followed behind her a bit.

> leaky cauldron, dining hall <

when we arrived at the dining hall, seraphic and i sat down. it appeared no one else was up yet. tom came over and took our breakfast orders. 'i guess i'l have...eggs with bacon and water, please?' seraphic ordered sausage, eggs, and orange juice. as we were giving our orders, the others started arriving. first was zephyr and sean, followed by artemis and linc.

i was starved, and inhaled my breakfast at record speed. i usually didn't eat all that much, but this morning i felt like i hadn't eaten in days. zephyr first mentioned going to the bank for muggle money, since our wizard money would get us only wierd looks at the stores in london. seraphic said she would need money as well, since what she had now probably wouldn't be enough. she also said she needed a hairband, and was wondering which colors. "black would match my hair, but maybe i should take red and orange, torignis' colors. or maybe white..." she wondered. i began thinking about how i could talk to seraphic about anything. i always seemed completely open with her. which was unusual, considering i usually didn't talk to anyone. then she asked me. 'hm?' i had been lost in thought, not really paying attention. 'oh uh, i don't know.' black was a good color, i thought to myself. 'black, maybe.' i replied. "okay then," said seraphic, gulping down the rest of her orange juice. "8:30!" said linc and seraphic in unison. "we'd better head out," said linc. "yeah, if we don't leave soon, we won't have much time for shopping," said seraphic. we all agreed, and reaching for our things, we left the dining hall.

> gringott's bank <

yami had climbed onto my neck for the walk to gringott's, but it began to get uncomfortable. 'hop onto my suitcase, you lazy cat,' i said, pushing her off of me. she gave a woeful meow, but she moved nonetheless. walking up to one of the goblins, i showed them my key, and got onto a trolley with seraphic and sean. zephyr, linc, and artemis had taken a different one.

my vault was the first one that we came to. it was pretty big, as my family was kind of rich. i just usually didn't tell anyone, because i didn't want people to try to be my friends just for my money. in fact, i usually didn't carry that much with me at a time. "here you are," said the goblin, and i hopped out, though my legs were still a little shaky. he opened the door for me, and i stepped in. getting the necessary muggle and wizard money, he closed the door behind me, and we whisked off to sean's or seraphic's vault. i felt a little naucious...

i woke up suddenly, hearing a loud noise. it turned out to be linc, next door, shouting, followed by some awesome music on the flute. i wasn't a big fan of the flute, but this was really good. i rolled over and silently cursed linc, then started laughing. i think his happiness was infectious. i hopped out of bed and decided to get ready for the day. i went to my trunk, and got clothes out for today. luckily, we would be doing some shopping today for muggle clothes, i sort of needed some. then, packing everything into my trunk, i bewitched it hover behind me, and headed out the door.

> leaky cauldron, corridor <

in the corridor, i saw linc, and ran to catch up with him. 'hey, how's it...going?' i asked. partly through the sentence i had stopped, as he had rushed on ahead, pushing alex and seraphic out of the way, and sliding down the banister. i laughed aloud, and decided to hang back. seraphic and alex like each other...i thought to myself, thinking up a devilish scheme to somehow get them together...

> leaky cauldron, dining hall <

by the time i had arrived, almost everyone had placed their orders, and alex and seraphic's food was already arriving. i ran over and sat next to them, giving tom my order. we all began to discuss the day, which all had agreed would start with going to gringott's, as none of us was carrying too much muggle money. then seraphic was asking about a hairband, taking opinions on what color it should be. i sort of tuned out then. but when my food arrived, i shoveled it down. when we had all finished, seraphic last, we got our belongings and filed out of the dining hall, headed for gringott's.

> gringott's bank <

we went through the huge double doors of gringott's, and walking up to one of the goblins, i handed my key to him. he showed me to one of the trolleys that was waiting. i hopped in, and was joined by zephyr and linc. alex, sean, and seraphic had gone in the other. we shot down, past tons of vaults, and eventually reached mine. i went in, took the money i needed, and got back in the trolley. the goblin closed the door behind me, and handed me my key. he got back in, and, starting the cart, we shot down the tracks once again...
