"Like I said, Yeh'd be mad ter try an' rob it," said Hagrid as Harry and I read the words engraved into the set of doors that stood before us. I shivered slightly at the ominous warning but managed to smile in thanks to the goblin who ushered us through the silver doors and walked us over to one of the open counters situated within the vast marble hall. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx744DIfT2v
"Morning," said Hagrid to the goblin at the desk. "We've come ter take some money outta Mr. Harry Potter and Ms. Katrina's safes."473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg30FatRZr
"You have their keys, Sir?"473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9QnDy55WU
"Got them here somewhere," said Hagrid as he started emptying his pockets onto the counter, scattering a handful of moldy dog biscuits over the goblin's book of numbers. The goblin wrinkled his nose and I chuckled quietly to myself. Harry, I noticed, was watching a goblin on our right weighing a pile of rubies as big as glowing coals.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKebd9vC7G
"Got em," said Hagrid at last, holding up two tiny golden keys.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDclka2YgX
The goblin examined them closely. "That seems to be in order."473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Jhy4VSCJ
"An' I've also got a letter here from Professor Dumbledore," said Hagrid importantly, throwing out his chest. "It's about the You-Know-What in vault seven hundred and thirteen."473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhOFLNpNYm
The goblin read the letter carefully. "Very well," he said, handing it back to Hagrid, "I will have someone take you down to all three vaults. Griphook!"473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRgaqgnYt
Griphook was yet another goblin. Once Hagrid had crammed all the dog biscuits back inside his pockets, he, Harry, and I followed Griphook toward one of the doors leading off the hall.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3U12iM61L
"What's the You-Know-What in vault seven hundred and thirteen?" Harry and I asked at the same time. I grinned at him an punched his shoulder lightly.
"Jinx! You owe me a soda!"473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CvGrivTFn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Md7oYRs0
"Deal." He said as we both turned to look at Hagrid in anticipation. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6tCPyxTbE
"Can't tell yeh that," said Hagrid mysteriously. "Very secret. Hogwarts business. Dumbledore's trusted me. More'n my job's worth ter tell yeh that."473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntKQO9kkfB
Griphook held the door open for us and whistled loudly. I wish I could whistle. A small cart came hurtling up the tracks and we climbed in; Hagrid with some difficulty, and were off.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNXjHGOKfC
We hurtled through a maze of twisting passages as the cold air rushed past us. Once, I thought he saw a burst of fire at the end of a tunnel and twisted around to see if it was a dragon, but too late...we plunged even deeper, passing an underground lake where huge stalactites and stalagmites grew from the ceiling and floor.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uj0kTJUn8
"I never know," I heard Harry called to Hagrid over the noise of the cart, "what's the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite?"473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwlfvHVZ6Y
"Stalagmite's got an 'm' in it," said Hagrid. "An' don' ask me questions just now, I think I'm gonna be sick." I know I shouldn't find it funny but I couldn't help but laugh at the expression on Hagrid's face. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI3xXqtA1r
He did look very green, and when the cart stopped at last beside a small door in the passage wall, Hagrid got out and had to lean against the wall to stop his knees from trembling. I walked over to him and patted his knee (the highest spot I could reach) in what I hoped was a comforting way. When he'd stopped shaking, he gave me a small smile.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKZ1BLM8Nw
"Thanks, Katrina. Yer' a good kid."473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSus2dKhFE
"You're welcome, Hagrid. You can call me Kat, if you'd like."473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNNRs5mpEj
Griphook unlocked the door. A lot of green smoke came billowing out, and as it cleared, Harry and I gasped. Inside were mounds of gold coins. Columns of silver. Heaps of little bronze Knuts.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL0fRfu0Ks
"All yours, Harry" smiled Hagrid.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQlLkNVNZ2
All Harry's. It was incredible.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH7vonkTqS
"Wow, Harry!" I exclaimed trying to take it all in. "You owe me a room-full of soda now!" I grinned widely at him so he knew I was just kidding. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QHy9Jmy1p
Hagrid helped Harry pile some of it into a bag.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJBWPFtgO
"The gold ones are Galleons," he explained to us. "Seventeen silver Sickles to a Galleon and twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle, it's easy enough. Right, that should be enough fer a couple o' terms, we'll keep the rest safe for yeh." He turned to Griphook. "Vault seven hundred and thirteen now, please, and can we go more slowly?"473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLsJSqacPt
"One speed only," said Griphook. I shook my head feeling sorry for my large new friend. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr05veLQrkI
We were going even deeper now and gathering speed. The air became colder and colder as the cart hurtled round tight corners and I shivered as my blood froze. I felt arms wrap around me and smiled up at Harry. He was so sweet! 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDyIZTcDvD
We finally arrived and the two of us rushed out of the cart desperate to solve the mystery of what the vault contained. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOEp9AsRpl
"Stand back," said Griphook importantly. He stroked the door gently with one of his long fingers and it simply melted away.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHemM5laSy
"If anyone but a Gringotts goblin tried that, they'd be sucked through the door and trapped in there," said Griphook.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin2zXqLkNt
"How often do you check to see if anyone's inside?" Harry asked, horrified. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsQyG3fCHd
"About once every ten years," said Griphook with a rather nasty grin.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOYnnAYQY7
Something really extraordinary had to be inside this top security vault, we were sure, and both of us leaned forward eagerly, expecting to see fabulous jewels at the very least...but at first it appeared to be empty. Then I noticed a grubby little package wrapped up in brown paper lying on the floor. Hagrid picked it up and tucked it deep inside his coat. I longed to know what it was, but knew better than to ask.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADIw4qEG2N
"Come on, back in this infernal cart, and don't talk to me on the way to Kat's vault, it's best if I keep me mouth shut," said Hagrid.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk9BGJJJSV
One wild cart ride later and we stood in front of a large black door. My turn. Griphook ran his finger across the thick metal like he had done with the mystery vault and it slowly swung open.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3buudMrdqw
I gasped. The contents was just as shocking as Harry's had been. There were stacks upon stacks of the large gold coins and light was reflecting off of every surface. As I stood there scanning the room in amazement, I noticed that there wasn't just coins in the vault. The sides of the room were lined with high shelves packed with all kinds of trinkets, swords, shields, scrolls, and other instruments I couldn't identify. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqBirIJiEB
"Hurry up, Kat! We don't ave all day!" Hagrid grumbled as he leaned heavily against one of the walls. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp1YvMF2iB
I quickly scooped up handfuls of coins and glanced over to Hagrid to make sure I had gotten enough. He managed a small nod of his head and we got back into the cart. By the time we finally got back to the surface, even I was feeling a little queasy. The minute we got back outside though, I was back to normal as I bounced up and down with excitement. I heard a strange sound besides me and looked over to see Harry struggling not to burst into laughter again as he stared at me. In response, I stuck my tongue out at him and pulled him down the street with me like before.
