"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. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Oe2RBSHpY
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoF7DM7hnn
"You have their keys, Sir?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1aWcnenoZ
"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7SMAPnUuw
"Got em," said Hagrid at last, holding up two tiny golden keys.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLYQlRsJFh
The goblin examined them closely. "That seems to be in order."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEnlk4peyr
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2zUOUKDrN
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!"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfrXVFeUFa
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMfFgUjD24
"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!"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQCeAOxKRZ
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLNVUr8xPN
"Deal." He said as we both turned to look at Hagrid in anticipation. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbX7xac4DN
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfloDKkuyLJ
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjukRQbjQg
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYOY6GtcDe
"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?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGSwCyf7vu
"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. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2hkfbalGB
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxuMuqCZvE
"Thanks, Katrina. Yer' a good kid."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZBOF9YxGn
"You're welcome, Hagrid. You can call me Kat, if you'd like."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lc1aZ2W1N
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOEzzy63e9
"All yours, Harry" smiled Hagrid.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYKpnw49lK
All Harry's. It was incredible.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOtRnO91Sw
"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. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbXZKt6W75
Hagrid helped Harry pile some of it into a bag.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcu2eXxJl2
"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?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6To406l3pt
"One speed only," said Griphook. I shook my head feeling sorry for my large new friend. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qTQYl671O
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! 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzar2zvIieC
We finally arrived and the two of us rushed out of the cart desperate to solve the mystery of what the vault contained. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2FG9CfqB5
"Stand back," said Griphook importantly. He stroked the door gently with one of his long fingers and it simply melted away.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A65Wfu5cK
"If anyone but a Gringotts goblin tried that, they'd be sucked through the door and trapped in there," said Griphook.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrghFrjqdD2
"How often do you check to see if anyone's inside?" Harry asked, horrified. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5PvNZXtMt
"About once every ten years," said Griphook with a rather nasty grin.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrOi1Xqh53
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGSI0f8RLk
"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjsnbCwe2M
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFiHXlIAEI
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. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzG6dE0uuS
"Hurry up, Kat! We don't ave all day!" Hagrid grumbled as he leaned heavily against one of the walls. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHvic34ESJ
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.
