Gringotts Really is All That
I've read the history about Gringotts, but books could never prepare for this.
As I walked up the marble steps and to the door, as I looked up the door seeing the famous Gringotts message. It read, " Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there".
With a sigh, I walked through the doors and into the main hall. I walked up toward the front desk. As I walked down the hall both sides of the hall had a bunch of desks. And at every desk a goblin was stationed there doing various things. One of them was counting what looked like gold. At the front desk was a goblin in trousers and a vest over a white button up. "Name", the gobing said in a rough voice. "Scorpius McAllister I told the goblin. "And what is your business here". "To exchange moggle money for your kind of money, so I can buy school supplies",I replied to the goblin. "The exchange center is over there", the goblin pointed to the corner of the room. I walked over there and told him what I needed.I exchanged the money, (with no fee). I walked through the doors again but this time facing away from the message. Walking down the street looking at the various signs in Diagon Alley, looking for the right store. To buy my school supplies.

Gringotts Really is All That
It had been quite a day. I had been out all morning searching for school supplies by myself since my mom had other plans to attend to. Luckily for me, I had almost everything I needed, except for my books. "Where could they be?" I had mumbled to myself, walking all over Diagon Alley in search of the place to buy my books. I was utterly lost, though. It seems I had gone in a circle, ending up back at Gringotts, which had been my first stop early that morning.
It was rare to see a child without their parent with them when it came to first-year shopping, so I paid no mind to those that I passed- except for one. He was standing in front of Gringotts, looking utterly confused, and without a parent. My eyebrows scrunched in confusion at what he could be pondering about, so I made my way over to him before interrupting his thoughts cheerfully, "Whatcha lookin' for?" I smiled cheerfully, "Valencia Rosegold, nice to meet you!" I extended my hand for him to shake.
