Eleanor and Dickson White and their daughter Eden and son Henry slowly walked into the entrance foyer, of course it wasn't Mr. and Mrs. White's first time into Gringotts but their children being fraternal twins and because they always did everything together, had never been invited by their parents into the bank. Their parents were making a large deposit and exchange there, and the children were quite frightened of the words considering the punishment that might follow if they did break the rules. Eden and Henry were going to Hogwarts for the first time next term and were starting to learn their way around Diagon Alley becuase their parents fit into the Muggle world quite nicely and decided to raise their children there, so that they would never have trouble fitting in in case one of them turned out to be a squib, becauase they had a history of squibs in the family and their parents thought it nothing to be ashamed of. They all continued walking up the steps into the main hall.

Echo knew that Juno said she would meet her here.. so they could change their money together. The owl did say noon.... Putting her note back in her bag she made her way over to the bench and sat down and waited for her.

Juno was running late. Her parents kept her too long at the Quidditch shop. Her father loved that store and Juno loved it too, but they knew she was meeting up with a friend. He just would not stop talking about the new broom models!

Running and panting she almost passed right by Echo. She stopped right in front of the Slytherin, panting. "Sorry....my dad....wouldn't stop...talking." She flopped on to the bench, gasping for breath. Usually, Juno was very athletic...running however was not her forte.

Echo couldnt stop laughing, Juno was panting so hard. "ahahah, its okay! i wasnt waiting long" the girl already ran here, she didnt want to make her friend feel bad.

"have a seat and catch your breath" she tapped the seat beside her and shoved over. "oh, this guy gave me a free water bottle earlier.. here have some" it was clean, she totally washed it like crazy.. so she hoped her friend wasnt going to poisoning her.

"where were you guys held up?" she said as she passed over the bottle. "are you parents going to come hang? or we get alone times?" she took off her light coat, it was getting warm.

Juno grinned. Echo was really the only other friend she had other than Esme. Of course there was Azura too, but she was closer to Esme than to herself. "Good, I'm glad you didn't have to wait too long." Juno pulled off her jacket for a moment. She was slightly sweating from the run but the nice breeze that was coming through would cool her off quickly.

Juno graciously took the water bottle. Hopefully it was actually water. She took a huge gulp....yep water. "It's water. No worries. And thank you for letting me take the first sip." She stuck her tongue out at the other girl.

Juno pulled her hair up into a pony tail. That usually helped to cool her off as well. "The Quidditch supply store. My dad used to play at Durmstrang and then Hogwarts when he transferred. I've always wanted to play but Hogwarts doesn't do that anymore. He likes talking brooms...even though he currently owns the fastest one on the planet." She sighed, then grinning, replied, "Nah just us. They said they would meet me at Leaky whenever we were done. Esme is out walking around too." You would think they would let the girls go around the Alley by themselves by now, but overprotective parents.

Rachel was always in awe of Gringotts. When she was just a little girl and used to accompany her mother and father, she usually got scared of the goblins. In her mind, they were scary. It didn't help that they mostly looked serious. However, over the years she had grown to realise just how helpful they were.

She tried to linger non- suspiciously as there was the usual goblin posted at the door. The upcoming sixth year was waiting on her father who had just met up with one of his old friends in one of the streets. So, she had headed along on her own, not wanting to intrude on the conversation.

Here she was...

Lingering...

Summer was already here. It was strange to have gotten out of school and be done with OWLS for this year. Olivia felt as if she had more things to do before she had left Hogwarts but she couldn't remember what exactly. As she strolled down Diagon Alley, she found herself entering Gringotts. It probably be a wise idea to pick up some wizarding money because most of her money was muggle based (pounds sterling or euros which wouldn't do here). Besides, Simon said he was going to be here.

She took a few steps into the foyer and glanced around the room, looking for her brother. She couldn't see him here and she sighed. Welp maybe she should just go back out into the streets but she stopped because she noticed a girl around her age just standing there. Quirking an eyebrow, Olivia wondered what or who the girl was waiting for. She paused a moment before going over as she tried to determine if the girl didn't want to be disturbed by a stranger. Unsure of the answer, Olivia took a chance and walked over towards the girl. "Hello! Waiting for someone too?"

SPOILER!!: Oliviaaa! <3

Rachel admired the way the Goblin stood at attention at the entrance. Still, he looked a little fierce and she couldn't help thinking that anyone who messed with Goblins surely must not be in their right minds. With that thought, she checked the pink Disney princess watch on her left wrist. I had been quite a few minutes ago since she left her father.

It was as she was lowering her hand, she saw the familiar girl heading over to her. Yes, she recognised her from Hogwarts. "Hello. Yes, I am,'' Rachel said with a smile. "My father's supposed to meet me here.'' She cast a look back to Street but there was no sign of him as yet. "It's Olivia, right?'' Or was Rachel mixing up the name with someone else's?

"I see. Off on an adventure?" An adventure with her father... That sounded nice. Olivia hadn't seen her own Dad since.... Christmas? Suddenly she felt a pang in her heart. She missed him. Ahem. Anyway....

Olivia blinked when the girl had gotten her name correct. Well there were two Olivia's going into their sixth year and both in Gryffindor..... She blinked and checked her outfit. Wait. She wasn't wearing any Gryffindor-esque clothes.... Had the girl just recognized her? Wow. Someone had recognized her. She felt flattered. "Yep, that's me!" Vi smiled and took a moment longer when she glanced at the girl. Yes, she looked very familiar......

But what was her NAME?

"Rachel, isn't it....?" she asked, taking a risk for a brief moment before adding, "I'm awful with names...." Pink blushed across her cheeks.

SPOILER!!: Olivia! <3

"Rachel, isn't it....?" she asked, taking a risk for a brief moment before adding, "I'm awful with names...." Pink blushed across her cheeks.

Rachel giggled and shook her head. "If you would like to count him catching up with an old friend an adventure. I skipped ahead because I didn't want to be an intruder on their conversation.'' Then she nodded. "He, my mother, aunt, myself and dad's team are off to another trip to the Amazon Rain forest in an attempt to track more undiscovered plant life.''

Rachel was quite sure she didn't imagine it; Olivia looked surprised that she had been recognised. Did she not expect to be known? It was very difficult to take the same classes regularly and not notice her. Then again, the two girls had not socialised. "Indeed, that's my name,'' the soon-to-be sixth year Ravenclaw confirmed. "That's quite all right. It happens.'' The flush on Olivia's face reminded her of how easy she too blushed when embarrassed. "Are you here to get money for your school supplies?'' she asked to change the subject.

A trip to the Amazon Rainforest? That sounded brilliant. "Amazon Rainforest? Woah. That's incredible," she exclaimed with a smile. Wow. The Amazon Rainforest. That must have been amazing and beautiful. She couldn't imagine what it must have looked like. "Have you ever been before?" She had always wanted to go and see the Amazon and all the wildlife there.

Olivia had never known that people would pay attention to her especially since there were two Olivia's in her year. And besides, she considered herself quieter. "You can call me Vi or Owlie for short since most people call the other Olivia Liv or Olivia," she laughed. Sure, she hang out with a lot of Prefects and was practically almost... Nevermind. She dismissed that thought. That was a thought for later not at this present moment. Sure, she was seen with Etta, Ace, and Noelle but still she wasn't used to people knowing her. The foyer around her seem to get brighter when she NAILED this girl's name. So it was Rachel. AhA! She could have done a victory dance or something. "Perfect! I knew it! Sweet," she said with a quick fist pump to the air above her head. And then Rachel had asked her why she was here. "Yes, money for school supplies and candy. I'm off to Sugarplums to pick up some sweets for my brother and I. It's kind of a form of payment to him for letting me stay at his apartment for the whole summer."

Speaking of summer and all, Olivia found herself wondering a question. "Are you having a good summer?"

Speaking of summer and all, Olivia found herself wondering a question. "Are you having a good summer?"

Rachel smiled. It was obvious that Olivia was genuinely interested in the topic. "I've been there a last year. It was quite exciting though there were lots of mosquitoes and other insects. It is said that thousands of new species of insects are discovered annually in the Forest.'' She could not resist stating this little fact. "Aside from that, it's very beautiful. The greenery makes it so.''

The girl giggled. "I like Owlie so I think I'm going to call you this from now on.'' Then she was giggling again. "I don't think you'll be unsure of my name again. How is it that we never got to know each other before?'' Rachel felt a twang of regret. Olivia was rather nice. "Your brother has a sweet tooth? In that case sweets would be perfect for him unless you look at it as though you're bribing him.'' That was merely a lame attempt of a joke.

"Oh yes, I am. It wasn't as eventful as the others but the change has been wonderful. How about you, Owlie? Have you been enjoying yourself?''

Olivia could care less for mosquitos... Little blood sucking pests... They were the worst and she always felt as if she was a magnet for them. Somehow they would always come attack her in a group of people and she would end up with several mosquito bites everywhere. But the Amazon.. Thousands of new species of insects? Wow, that was cool. Incredible! "Ah, I will need to go there one day. It's on my bucket list for sure now. Though I'd probably have to douse myself in a lot of mosquito spray... I swear I'm a magnet for mosquitos."

Owlie, hey? She smiled warmly at Rachel. Yeah, she liked that nickname too. Owlie and Vi had been nicknames awarded to her by some of her dearest friends. She bit her lip. "I don't know... Hogwarts is a big school but I'm glad we're meeting now. We should hang out here and at school!" She was always up for making another friend and Rachel seemed like a really cool person. She laughed at the joke about bribing her brother. Well.... perhaps the candy was a little bit of a bribe. "Bribing him? Me? Never!" she exclaimed as she gasped dramatically. A big smile appeared on her lips. "I may be bribing him slightly... How did you know my plan?"

"It's good. It's nice to relax but I'm also keeping busy too. I'm working at a local cafe and then helping out at a museum on weekends. Then I see friends occasionally.." And sometimes she made new potential friends like Rachel! "I know the summer is going to by quickly but I hope it lasts a little longer than usual. I need more time to recover after OWLs."

Rachel giggled. "I know what you mean. Even I feel the same since my mother always has to pack extra repellent for me whenever I accompany her, dad and my aunt on expeditions.'' She also had an idea which she was willing to share with Olivia. "Would you like to accompany us another time? If your parents and brother wouldn't mind, you can since I know my family wouldn't.'' Her parents were always encouraging her to ask a friend.

"Definitely,'' the Ravenclaw agreed. She had a feeling that she and Olivia would be great friends. The reaction had her giggling yet again. "I've been there except I would bribe my aunt. She loves fashion and so it's always easy to use my savings to buy her a new pair of shoes or a cute shirt.''

"That's wonderful. I hope there are no rude customers.'' Rachel was quite aware of how bad some human beings can be and it saddened her. "How did you do with the exams?'' Did she mean she needed to recover because she failed a subject?

Seriously? Rachel was offering her the one in a lifetime chance to accompany her in the Amazon? "Really?" she blurted out. She grinned. "I'd love too!" Wow. This was awesome. It was so nice of her to be offering her to come along on such an adventure but would her own parents agree to it? "If you're folks are okay with that, of course."

Vi giggled in agreement with Rachel. "Ha fashion?" she mused. Now that was an idea to use on Simon. She could get him to wear a more colourful shirt or something. "I love that. That's a brilliant idea. Fashion is a great way to bribe." A new pair of shoes or whatnot... What have you. Brilliant.

Exams, huh? OWLS. Olivia was just relieved to have it all done! It was a great feeling. "Really well actually!" she beamed. In fact, her efforts had paid out in full. Her lowest grade had been an Acceptable in Ancient Runes and thus she was proud of that. She had been expecting much worse but fortunately, it did not have to come to that! "And what about yourself?"

This was taking for-EVER. Wyatt kept his little hand firmly clasped to his mother (just in case), giving the occasional tug to let her know he and Becca were ready for ice-cream NOW. Why did she have to run into her friend HERE?? They were so close. Back out in the fo...fo...yer.....place thing and Wyatt could all but see Florean's from where he stood--just needed to be a little taller.

That thought gave him the idea and soon had the little boy hopping on the spot. Was his Mommy getting it now?? Could they leave? This jumping wasn't helping.

Wyatt looked back to his friend, giving her an exasperated sort of look. Grownups talked forever. All the ice-cream would be gone by the time Mommy got done.

Uuuuggghhhhhhh.

Becca was spending the day with Wyatt and his mummy becaaaaaaaause her mum had some boring adult things to do, her daddy was at work, and no one else would watch her. And since...they had become best friends basically, why pay for a babysitter AND make Becca miserable instead of just sending her with Lynley Purcell and Wyatt? Becca had BEGGGGGED. And Ms. Purcell didn't mind at all! Becca did her very best to be on good behavior with the lady because she seemed like she could be pretty mean sometimes.

But she was getting bored toooooooo. She sighed at Wyatt and cross her arms. "At least there's goblins to look at and they're really funny looking," she whispered, hoping none of them heard her. They looked like they could be mean, too.

Wyatt wrinkled his nose when Becca mentioned the goblins, allowing himself a glance at them--but he didn't like them. Even if his Mommy said they were doing their jobs and likely not to eat him or Teddy, this little boy was not having it and not having them.

"That one's looking at us funny." He whispered back, blatantly pointing to one of several goblins back inside the bank. It was likely the goblin was looking at something else in their general direction but at 6 when the world still mostly revolved around you, this was the only logical explanation that Wyatt could come up with. "We should leave before he decides to come after us." Not that he was TOO worried, because his hand had not let go of his mother's which meant nothing bad could happen.

Wyatt looked up to the adults once more at the sound of his name. Only SOMETIMES was it good to have grownups talking about him and while more and more they were having nice things to say about him, the little boy was still very interested to listen just to make sure his ice-cream plans weren't about to be dashed.

FOUR WHOLE SICKLES, that's how much money Noah had to her name, thanks to a bit of quick pickpocketing on the walk over. Mummy never let her have money but that was okay 'cause she was good at getting it for herself.

Korpsit told her one time they were walking by the bank that it had loads of money too. When she'd asked why people went in there, he'd told her it was where they got their money. All she really had to do was go in and ask nicely for a galleon--that was all she needed to get herself that toy from Weasley's and maybe some ice-cream.

Once again, the little girl took to looking behind her every few steps. The moment the goblin was done talking to his customer, he would notice she was missing and after the last run away just weeks ago, she knew another would get her into LOADS of trouble. The 6 year old slowly approached the large building, trying to look as if she belonged. Were it not for her unusually pale complexion for someone of her skin tone, you would never really be able to tell she belonged down in Knockturn Alley. The little girl was well groomed and in the finest of clothing.

Noah stopped at the sight of two children. A little boy who's attention she may not be able to catch with him looking up like that--but so what boys were dumb and she'd rather be friends with the girl. "Psssst." She hissed softly, waving her hands without trying to be too obvious. "Psssssssssssssst. C'mere."

SPOILER!!: Wyatt and Noah

She hissed softly, waving her hands without trying to be too obvious. "Psssssssssssssst. C'mere."

Becca looked round at the goblin he was taking about and looked behind her quickly, because SHE wasn't doing anything to cause that LOOK. "Um....yeah...you ask your mum to go because I don't want to---" Ask. She didn't finish her statement, though, because another voice distracted her. A voice that sounded like it was almost the same pitch as hers....

Um.

Random...girl? Becca's eyes widened curiously. "Come on, Wyatt--" she said quickly before taking off in the girl's direction.

WHY WAS SHE GOING OVER? Well because the girl had TOLD her to, duh. "What? Who are you? Where's your parents?" she was much braver than Wyatt, her best friend. "I'm Becca and my friend is Wyatt--" but he hadn't followed her, and was still back by his mum. She rolled her eyes. "He's a scared-y cat of everything now because someone tried to kill him a month ago." She lowered her voice. "With a portkey." Mhmm. She wasn't even sure what a portkey was, but she had heard her mum talking about it to her dad and to Wyatt's mum.

Wheeeeeerrreeeee was she going???

Wyatt's eyes widened at his friend walking away like that, relaxing only when he saw it was only to go talk to another girl. Oh. That was fine then. It was just a girl. For a fraction of a second, Wyatt thought to release his mummy and go say hello too but then, what if she had a portkey or worse, what if she WAS a portkey like Teddy had been??? "Doooon't touuuuccch her." Wyatt whispered frantically, appalled his mother did not notice there was now someone standing at that distance from them.

He took two steps toward them but when he realized a third would completely remove him from his mother, he back tracked. A huge part of him worried Becca would make friends with HER and not be his friend anymore but a bigger part was convinced there was something wrong with her. She even looked kinda sick--WHAT IF SHE WAS AND GAVE THEM HER SICK AND THEY HAD TO GO HOME AND NOT HAVE ICE-CREAM???? No, he would be staying away.

Noah couldn't help but break into a big smile when the girl came closer. It wasn't every day that she saw children her own age and she didn't get very many chances to make friends. This one was probably gonna be her friend and if she was her friend then they could go play.

"Mummy's really busy so she couldn't come to the bank with me." The little girl said, tipping her chin up just a bit and trying for her most grown up voice. "But I'm Noah! Hi!" The smile spread further, growing now into a grin. "That's so cool! How come he isn't dead? When my Mummy wants people dead, they get dead." Mhm. She'd seen it before a few times and they didn't go walking around holding onto their mummies afterwards. Usually Korpsit took care of 'em after.

"It's okay." She said, looking only briefly to Korpsit again. "We can still play. I know a fun place. D'you wanna come?"

SPOILER!!: good gosh

"It's okay." She said, looking only briefly to Korpsit again. "We can still play. I now a fun place. D'you wanna come?"

Noah. "That's a boy's name..." she said softly. "But that's okay. It's still nice." She didn't even hear Wyatt's plea not to touch the other girl. But wait...her mum? Wanted people dead?! That made Becca wiggle her eyebrows in confusion. "Wh-why does-- is your mum a bad guy? Like a villain?" she asked. She had NEVER met a villain's daughter. "And some lady saved him. He almost got eaten by a dragon." She looked over at her best friend and waved. "WYaaaaaatt you come by US. We can make a new friend!"

She had no intention of liking this Noah more than Wyatt. None at all! She just liked making ALL the friends she could!

"What kind of fun place? Can Wyatt come too?" she asked. Because it would be hard to get her to go ANYWHERE without her Wyatt.

It didn't take very long for Wyatt to realize one very important thing. He couldn't HEAR them from where he was standing.

Well...he sorta could...but not really over his Mommy and her friend which was making the boy all kinds of antsy. Look at that girl STEALING his friend. Wyatt began tugging on Lynley's hand again, not detered by the way she'd shushed him the other bunch of times. She needed to SEE that someone else was being nice to Becca even though HE was already being nice to Becca. They couldn't both be. That wasn't how it was s'ppose to work. Didn't she know anything.

"No." The little boy said firmly when invited over. "No. I'm not coming. You come back over here and make her go away." As it so happened, Wyatt decided he didn't want a friend thief for a friend, not at all.

To be entirely honest, Noah was about two seconds from shoving the girl for saying her name was a boy's name but then Becca said it was NICE so she didn't push her, just beamed wide. The 6 year old liked her name very much and thought it was better than some of the names of other little girls because it made her STAND OUT.

"Mummy isn't bad." Noah protested, seeing nothing particularly wrong with her mother, save that she worked such long hours and had a BORING workplace. "She's really super nice--to me. I don't really think she likes other people but that's okay because I'm the only person in the WHOLE WORLD that she needs." It was a pretty important status to have, in case Becca didn't know that.

"A dragon?? Like what they have down in the bank? Did the bank steal him? Is that why you're here?" Woooooooow. COULD THE BANK STEAL HER TOO??? She wanted to see the dragon.

Noah wrinkled her nose, brown eyes reluctantly traveling back to the boy who'd turned down the invitation to come along. "No. He can't come." She decided with quite a bit of stubbornness. But she still wanted her new friend to. "You can though! It's really nice and we can play and if he's less scared later he can come too." She lied, having no intention to invite him along. "Unless you're scared too."

She needed to SEE that someone else was being nice to Becca even though HE was already being nice to Becca. They couldn't both be. That wasn't how it was s'ppose to work. Didn't she know anything.

"No." The little boy said firmly when invited over. "No. I'm not coming. You come back over here and make her go away." As it so happened, Wyatt decided he didn't want a friend thief for a friend, not at all.

To be entirely honest, Noah was about two seconds from shoving the girl for saying her name was a boy's name but then Becca said it was NICE so she didn't push her, just beamed wide. The 6 year old liked her name very much and thought it was better than some of the names of other little girls because it made her STAND OUT.

"Mummy isn't bad." Noah protested, seeing nothing particularly wrong with her mother, save that she worked such long hours and had a BORING workplace. "She's really super nice--to me. I don't really think she likes other people but that's okay because I'm the only person in the WHOLE WORLD that she needs." It was a pretty important status to have, in case Becca didn't know that.

"A dragon?? Like what they have down in the bank? Did the bank steal him? Is that why you're here?" Woooooooow. COULD THE BANK STEAL HER TOO??? She wanted to see the dragon.

Noah wrinkled her nose, brown eyes reluctantly traveling back to the boy who'd turned down the invitation to come along. "No. He can't come." She decided with quite a bit of stubbornness. But she still wanted her new friend to. "You can though! It's really nice and we can play and if he's less scared later he can come too." She lied, having no intention to invite him along. "Unless you're scared too."

Becca frooooowned real big at Wyatt. "No...I like Noah.....you come HERE." She said before hearing Noah didn't even want him to come. "Why not? He's my best friend. Where will we go? Can I bring him back a present?" this was...a little much for Becca, and confusing, too.

Noah's mummy wasn't a bad guy, but she sure did sound like a bad guy. Whatever. She wouldn't argue with her. "So she doesn't have a daddy for you, then? Like Wyatt's mum?" she nodded at her friend. "My mum told me some kids don't have both parents, and that's okay." As long as the mum or dad was super awesome and nice and stuff.

"NOOOO the bank didn't steal him. Some guy tried to kill him with it. And...and....I am NOT scared," she put her hands on her hips, all thoughts of staying behind with Wyatt gone because she was SO. NOT. SCARED RIGHT NOW. NOT AT ALL. There was no REASON to be!

"NO!" Wyatt said more firmly, stomping his foot this time to ensure his friend KNEW how serious he was being. He didn't like that girl, just decided so himself so he wasn't going to go anywhere with her and they weren't going to play. "Come back Becca, we're gonna be getting iiicceee-creeeaammm." Not whatever SHE was promising.

Why wasn't she listening to him? And why wasn't his Mommy listening to him????? Didn't she see how serious this was????

Wyatt huffed, folded his arms in like manner to his friend but obviously for different reasons.

"I don't have a daddy and I don't need one either!" Noah proudly declared, her grin once again revealing a missing front tooth. "I'm gonna grow up like like Mommy and I'm gonna own everything!" In her mind her mother already owned everything which meant it was all gonna be hers. Duh.

"You can bring him back something if you want but he's too scared so he won't like it and he's gonna cry and be a baby." Didn't need anyone like THAT following them around. That happened once, her Mommy had to erase the boy's memory and dump him at the top of the stairs before their playdate was even over. Becca didn't seem like she'd start crying but Noah wasn't willing to take that chance with the Wyatt boy.

Her face lit up once the girl said she wasn't scared. That was just what she wanted to hear. "Then let's go! Come on, come on, come on!!!!!" Instantly and quite enthusiastically, Noah grabbed the girl by the hand and tried pulling her away.

They were going to play!
