Leigh walked down the crowded the street, having to dodge little children, all of whom he felt a twinge magical power from. He laughed merrily as they ran past him again, shouting at the tops of their voices. Leigh continued on his way down Diagon Alley, seeing the shops bustle with wizards wanting everything and anything.
He was heading for Gringotts, to collect the pay he has saved for the last years work at Hogwarts. He sighed when he saw bank and the mass exodus of people coming and going. barely able to wiggle his way through, Leigh made his way towards a special line, set up for workers.
Leigh was only fifth in line and as he continued along the path he met with his old friend, a goblin, Alfred. Though Alfred was a goblin and more than likely to sell your liver for a few galleons, Leigh always had a friendship with the weird creature.
"Hello, Alfred, long time no see." Leigh said, as he made his way to the teller. Alfred looked at Leigh with his beady little eyes, behind thin small round glasses. He smiled wickedly at Leigh.
"Ah, Professor Addis, welcome back!" Alfred said, mocking the professor. "How may I galleons would you like, eh Professor?" He sneered then laughed merrily, hopping down from his stool and walked over to a large vault-like door. Two goblins stood on either side of the door. "Key, Professor?"
Leigh nodded and handed out his key to one of the two goblins. The one on the left took it and the one on the right opened the door. A sudden rush of dusty air invaded Leigh's nostrils, causing him to have a sneeze attack. Alfred laughed at Leigh, before telling him to move on.
The goblin with the key walked into the door, Leigh following suit. THe goblin turned and looked up into Leigh's face and spoke. "What number?"
"Eight-One-One." Leigh replied before a carrage made it's way into sight. Leigh and the goblin quickly made their way down the vault room which held Leigh's money.

Soon, Leigh had exited the bank, and headed down another street. He found the end of Diagon Alley and walked through the pub, back into the public streets of London. He changed his attire to that of a muggle and looked around at the crowded, noisy street of the British.
"I'll be happy when I get home." Leigh mumbled to himself. He turned and struck someone, whom he didn't see. Falling flat on his back, Leigh forced himself up and soon saw the face of the person he had bumped into. An excited grin crossed his face as he exclaimed an enthusiastic greeting. "Hello!"
