I'm sorry this is so short, and that nothing happens much in it, but I guess it's something.

“Hmm. Bookstore… bookstore… ice cream shop… owl emporium.” Jaxon’s eyes swept over the multitude of signs that flanked the buildings in Diagon Alley. “Wand shop. Nothing of much interest.” he said. He turned to look at Coralie, who was drinking everything in with a look of wonder.
Or at least to me. He thought.
He looked around the street once more, which was indeed, as he predicted, mostly empty. He had spotted a few younger kids in Quality Quidditch Supplies, and some witches at Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour, but apart from that, no one was really around.
They stopped in front of a tall white building with bronze doors. Coralie shielded her eyes with her arm as she looked up.
“And this is Gringotts.”
“The bank.” It wasn’t a question, but a statement.
“Yes.” Jaxon said, glancing sideways at her.
“My father talked about it.” Coralie supplied before Jaxon could ask. “He used to talk about the goblins that run it.”
By the look on her face, Jaxon could guess that that was not a good thing. Coralie self-consciously wrapped her arms around herself before taking her eyes off the monstrous building and looking around some more.
“There’s so many things here…” She breathed.
“We don’t have to look everywhere right now.” He said.
“I know.”
There was a moment’s silence. Jaxon decided to quickly fill it. “Have you had enough today? We can go back to the house if you want.”
Coralie’s eyes glanced over his face, then reverted to street around her. “Yeah.” She said at last.
Jaxon took her arm timidly, and spun on the spot, disapparating from the streets of Diagon Alley.

Hmm. kinda boring, right?
