"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. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t2sAIv6jp
"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."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIu2vpmb7U
"You have their keys, Sir?"474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZvleeSMPG
"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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q8Zsu8DzF
"Got em," said Hagrid at last, holding up two tiny golden keys.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovQpRKBKnX
The goblin examined them closely. "That seems to be in order."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdGfn6IJPd
"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."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA3hJGtlYT
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!"474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwax5is3T9
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE5jPwz3QJ
"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!"474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FDYFwouOU
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrROn1VWkS9
"Deal." He said as we both turned to look at Hagrid in anticipation. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT62WtF2Ga3
"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."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZinqyGRjvU
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1JIWuyDNG
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccv4HHyfRn
"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?"474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxkrRrgwhp
"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. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN2LMgwToD
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnGXE2mRXZ
"Thanks, Katrina. Yer' a good kid."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvYsJ3JduK
"You're welcome, Hagrid. You can call me Kat, if you'd like."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRniXhQUdj
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO199uwWxi
"All yours, Harry" smiled Hagrid.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rcvsmivLH
All Harry's. It was incredible.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2odENRFqCL
"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. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbAmb3xzIu
Hagrid helped Harry pile some of it into a bag.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeuEWqpt5z
"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?"474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPXXWNxcMS
"One speed only," said Griphook. I shook my head feeling sorry for my large new friend. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvLFlnLGbL
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! 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69OUZc5eOm
We finally arrived and the two of us rushed out of the cart desperate to solve the mystery of what the vault contained. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzkpT7XQWL
"Stand back," said Griphook importantly. He stroked the door gently with one of his long fingers and it simply melted away.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RInCnrxBs
"If anyone but a Gringotts goblin tried that, they'd be sucked through the door and trapped in there," said Griphook.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MM3D2vaYq
"How often do you check to see if anyone's inside?" Harry asked, horrified. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsyi57GKWd
"About once every ten years," said Griphook with a rather nasty grin.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdHux7l5e4
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBplI3mgp0
"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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUerrMzJWK9
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosfp2kUTll
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. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIadZViVn3u
"Hurry up, Kat! We don't ave all day!" Hagrid grumbled as he leaned heavily against one of the walls. 474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3sawfMu6B
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.
