... were Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Avery, and McNair, the same names Harry had given her during their talk at the beginning of the summer. Since she couldn't come with them to the Alley, she had extracted the same promise from Susan that Minerva had gotten from Harry. The group made their way into the Alley, and Sirius looked around, keeping one eye on the crowd at large as he asked, "Where to first?" The look in Hermione's eyes clearly said she wanted to go to Flourish and Blotts, but Harry, with a quick glance at Ginny, spoke first. "I need to get some money, how about Ginny and I go to Gringotts, and meet the rest of you in a few?" Sirius and Minerva eyed him curiously and a bit suspiciously, but Sirius nodded readily enough. "If you're not at Flouish and Blotts within half an hour, I'm coming to find you, deal?" Molly did not seem to be thrilled, but she didn't say anything. Harry nodded, grinning, and took his girlfriend's hand, leading her down the Alley towards the gleaming white building that was Gringotts Bank. "Be careful!" Molly yelled after them.

Hodrod peered at the wizard in front of him for a moment, before he broke into a toothy grin. "You as well, Mr. Potter. How can I be of service this morning?" Ginny looked startled at the friendly goblin, but Harry just spoke as if he expected it. "I know I don't have an appointment, but a matter of some importance has come up, and I was wondering if Sharptooth would be available for a few minutes this morning?" Hodrod glanced between the two magicals standing in front of him, and he nodded knowingly. "I understand," he said. "Give me one minute. I will return shortly."
