"Bit , behind schedule, aren't we , best be off." Stated Hagrid as he decides to leave , leaving Harry to consider his sorry surroundings. He looks momentarily at the loss , then ... Hagrid pokes his head back in.
"Less , o' course you'd rather stay."
A moment later
"Um -- Hagrid?"
"Mm?" said Hagrid, who was pulling on his huge boots.
"I haven't got any money -- and you heard Uncle Vernon last night ... he won't pay for me to go and learn magic."
"Don't worry about that," said Hagrid, standing up and scratching his head. "D'yeh think yer parents didn't leave yeh anything?"
"But if their house was destroyed --"
"They didn' keep their gold in the house, boy! Nah, first stop fer us is Gringotts. Wizards' bank. Have a sausage, they're not bad cold -- an' I wouldn' say no teh a bit o' yer birthday cake, neither." "Wizards have banks?"
"Just the one. Gringotts. Run by goblins."
Harry dropped the bit of sausage he was holding. "Goblins?"
"Yeah -- so yeh'd be mad ter try an' rob it, I'll tell yeh that. Never mess with goblins, Harry. Gringotts is the safest place in the world fer anything yeh want ter keep safe -- 'cept maybe Hogwarts. As a matter o' fact, I gotta visit Gringotts anyway. Fer Dumbledore. Hogwarts business." Hagrid drew himself up proudly. "He usually gets me ter do important stuff fer him. Fetchin' you gettin' things from Gringotts -- knows he can trust me, see.
"Got everythin'? Come on, then.
"Oh , Hagrid never mention such things infront of curious children."
Hagrid leads Harry to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Hagrid, how are we gonna get to Gringotts, or are we getting everything in London."
Hagrid pauses by a narrow grey door that stands between a Book shop on one side and a record shop on the other.
