"Yes, that's a goblin," Hagrid whispered calmly as they walked up the white stone steps toward the man.
This goblin was about a head shorter than Harry, had a dark face that showed intelligence, and a pointed beard. Harry found that his hands and feet were particularly long.
The goblin bowed to them as they entered. Then a second door appeared in front of them, it was silver, and the following words were engraved on the two doors:
Come in, stranger.
But you have to be careful what happens if you are greedy.
Blindly asking for something for nothing will result in the severest punishment.
So if you try to take from our underground vaults a treasure that never belonged to you, you thief, you have been warned, beware not of wealth but of evil.
"I tell you, if you want to rob a bank, you're crazy," Hagrid said.
But Harry still robbed him once in seventh grade, Tiera said silently in her heart.
The two goblins bowed to them and led them into a tall marble hall. There were about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a row of long counters. Some used copper scales to weigh coins, and some used eyepieces to examine gems, while making hasty entries in the large ledger. There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many fairies guide visitors to enter these doors. Hagrid and Harry walked towards the counter.
"Good morning." Hagrid greeted an idle goblin.
"We're going to take some money from Harry Potter's vault, as well as Tiera Witch's student loan."
"Your key and proof of Hogwarts." The elf said somewhat arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, I remember I brought it with me, um...where did I put it." Hagrid rummaged around in the deep pockets of his leather jacket for a while, took out everything in his pockets and put them on the counter, accidentally putting a Scattered moldy dog biscuits on the leprechaun's ledger. The goblin wrinkled his nose. Harry looked at the goblin on his right who was weighing a pile of rubies the size of red hot coals.
"Ah ha, I found it." Hagrid finally said, picking out a small key and a small piece of letter paper and handing them to the goblin.
"It should be no problem." The goblin said after reading the letter carefully, then picked up the key and looked at it carefully.
"I also have a letter here written by Professor Dumbledore." Hagrid took back all the debris scattered on the table. He took out another letter from the heart pocket of his leather jacket and said solemnly, "It's about the item in Vault 713."
Even though Hagrid spoke very quietly, Tiera still noticed it keenly, and at the same time pinched the thing in her jacket pocket.
The goblin read the letter carefully.
"Very good." He said, handed the letter back to Hagrid, then took out a hundred gold galleons from the counter, put it heavily into a dark brown leather bag, and then took the quill and wrote it on Hagrid's first He made a mark on the letter he handed over for the first time, and then handed the cowhide bag containing one hundred gold galleons and the letter paper to Tiela.
Tiera took the brown leather bag and the letter paper and saw the seven columns of Hogwarts review opinions on the student loan on the letter paper.
The column representing the first grade had been crossed out by the goblin just now, in exchange for a hundred gold galleons.
"You can come back to collect student loans six more times in the future." The goblin sitting at the counter said, "If you have Muggle currency, we can also convert it into gold galleons for you, but you can only deal with one hundred gold galleons every year. .”
"Well, okay, Mr. Goblin, please help me exchange it for one hundred gold galleons." Tiera took out the pounds from her leather bag, counted five hundred pounds from it, and handed it to the goblin.
"There is still a one percent handling fee." The goblin said again in a sharp voice.
Tiera had no choice but to take out another five pounds and give it to the goblin.
After taking the five pounds, the goblin counted out a hundred gold galleons and handed it to Tiera.
"Okay, you've finished your work here. I'll find someone to take you to these two underground vaults. Griphook!"
Griphook is another goblin. Hagrid and Halitiera followed Griphook out of the hall through one of the doors.
"What's this kid doing here?" Griphook stared at Tiera with sharp eyes, "You can just wait here."
"Well, I, I think, I want to go with you to see the vault of the Wizarding Bank, okay? Harry." Tiera seemed to be frightened by Griphook and stammered.
Tiera knew that as long as Harry spoke about this kind of thing, it would be useless for the goblin to object.
"He's with us. What's wrong with you? Griphook?" Hagrid stood between Griphook and Tiera and said sarcastically, "This is our Hogwarts student. Shouldn't you Are you afraid that a student like this will rob your bank?"
Harry nodded along.
Seeing that both Hagrid and Harry insisted without saying anything, Griphook turned around and continued to lead the three of them towards the depths of Gringotts.
Griphook and Tiera didn't know each other at all, let alone have personal vendettas. The goblins just instinctively hated anyone who took gold coins from their hands.
It's in their nature, like greedy spiders.
"What is the 'item' in the underground vault of No. 713?" Harry asked.
"I can't tell you this." Hagrid said mysteriously, "This is an absolute secret. It's about Hogwarts. Dumbledore trusted me and gave it to me. This is my job. You can't Let me tell you."
Griphook opened the door for them both. Harry expected to see more marbles, but he was surprised. In front of him was a narrow stone corridor, illuminated by burning torches. The stone corridor is a steep downhill slope with a small railway underneath. Griphook whistled, and a cart rushed toward them along the railroad track. They climbed into the car, but it took a lot of effort for Hagrid to squeeze his much taller body into the small mine car.
Then they set off.
At first, they were speeding along the maze-like winding corridors. Harry wanted to remember the path he had taken and turned left. Turn right, turn right, turn left, the fork in the middle, turn right again, turn left again, I can’t remember it at all. The rattling cart seems to be conscious and knows its own way, so there is no need to pull the ring to drive it.
The cold air whizzed past, causing Harry a little pain despite wearing glasses several times, not to mention Tiera, who closed her eyes and hugged Hagrid's thick arms tightly, as if he had done it in a previous life. It's as exciting as a roller coaster, but this time the protection is rudimentary.
They turned left and right for a while and finally stopped.
When the mine cart just stopped, Tiera almost vomited, but she still held it back and followed Griphook to an iron gate with a pale face.
Pull the ring to unlock the door. A thick plume of green smoke came out of the door, and when the smoke cleared, Harry gasped. Inside were piles of gold coins, silver bars, and mountains of bronze nats.
"This is all yours," Hagrid said with a smile.
It's all Harry's! It's so enviable, Tiera's eyes widened when she saw it.
Same goes for Harry.
Hagrid and Tiera helped Harry put the Galleons into the bag.
Harry even wanted to give one to Tiera on the spot.
But Tiela refused on the spot.
