"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. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl2T3o4OgB
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmig9iJHQRJ
"You have their keys, Sir?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K4rvSYP0M
"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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UYwYHNZ0a
"Got em," said Hagrid at last, holding up two tiny golden keys.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcDI9ja6q6
The goblin examined them closely. "That seems to be in order."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIdlACcTzQ
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgT5itsJI3
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!"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YUY7cRIRT
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx20ojXlmJ2
"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!"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGCFptUmWc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeI1nKYMo1
"Deal." He said as we both turned to look at Hagrid in anticipation. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34YOlbeixa
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTxhwCuG8A
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik7bi8AJLw
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwykh9m0Xbz
"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?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWqS7fcfw1
"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. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje88azvYpU
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ7BpYClCy
"Thanks, Katrina. Yer' a good kid."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJinjp7EvMz
"You're welcome, Hagrid. You can call me Kat, if you'd like."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN7UKcgv1B
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdweRPId7JQ
"All yours, Harry" smiled Hagrid.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpAIZ2nSj5
All Harry's. It was incredible.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLkSe06PpT
"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. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX84MXxVXG
Hagrid helped Harry pile some of it into a bag.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDzYmgHfy4
"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?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOvVOX5tse
"One speed only," said Griphook. I shook my head feeling sorry for my large new friend. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW5N7EDLHy
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! 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVd3aBUUWo
We finally arrived and the two of us rushed out of the cart desperate to solve the mystery of what the vault contained. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTArGiq2Uq
"Stand back," said Griphook importantly. He stroked the door gently with one of his long fingers and it simply melted away.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ytZ5aeWIB
"If anyone but a Gringotts goblin tried that, they'd be sucked through the door and trapped in there," said Griphook.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTqWRsYkA4
"How often do you check to see if anyone's inside?" Harry asked, horrified. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiihgUfycy
"About once every ten years," said Griphook with a rather nasty grin.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD3De47PAE
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1mKaq4WuE
"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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7topKOKBJK
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsbdSKgohf
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. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom3y8vBy0X
"Hurry up, Kat! We don't ave all day!" Hagrid grumbled as he leaned heavily against one of the walls. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5MqkYozfj
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.
