| | | Gringotts Entrance Foyer If you go up the white marble stairs and through the burnished bronze double doors you will find yourself in Gringotts Wizarding Bank. A Goblin doorman wearing scarlet and gold stands in the doorway and on occassion, a Wizard or two with a probity probe might be found here, checking for troublemakers.
There are large and decorative vases in each corner of this small foyer, each containing a flitterbloom plant that appears to wave at you as you pass by. Silver doors lead into the main hall, which is where you take care of your financial business, and there are words engraved on them: Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
The Entrance Foyer is a busy spot, with many witches, wizards and goblins bustling through it. Feel free to linger for a while and examine the portraits on the walls of famous Curse-Breakers and Goblins, though if the Gringotts security think you are blocking the doors, they'll certainly tell you to move along and you better do what they tell you. ooc: Please post in the main hall if you wish to be helped by a Goblin. This is just the entrance way and you won't be able to open or access your account from here. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Xing Canterbury Fourth Year Ministry RPG Name:
Dean Benson Magical Law Enforcement | ☆ KISSme ☆ SSRPG Addict ☆ Cassiopeia ☆ Dean had never had his own Gringotts vault. When he was younger, his mother will keep his money in her vault. That was because he was still young back then. Now, it was different story. Dean was a grown man with a career, thus he was able to open up his own account.
After work, he apparated somewhere near the wizarding bank before he walked through the entrance foyer to the main hall.

Kensi Whitworth Magical Law Enforcement | {Awake...my soul} [&I'm cold...blooded.]
On a mission! Kammy Patricia was on a mission to FINALLY, at laaast open an account with the bank. Though she was already 23, she had never needed to have her own account. But now that she was an employee at the ministry and she had her OWN apartment...she decided she needed one. So Kammy apparated outside the bank, made her way inside, and followed the crowd into the main hall...

Hogwarts RPG Name: Violet Cassandra Silverstar Second Year Ministry RPG Name:
Melanie Rosaline Caparelli Magical Maintenance | Trencher for Life||Avril Lavigne|| Ni hen piao liang (You're very beautiful)
Melanie successfully apparated in front of Gringotts Wizarding bank. She gasped in amazement at the grandness of the building. Though she was a pureblood witch, her family had recently moved here in London and it was time for Melanie to make her own bank account. Her family has kept treasured keepsakes for several generations now, and Melanie couldn't afford to lose them in her house. She breathed in slowly and walked through the entrance and into the Main Hall.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tayla Ross Barnhill Fourth Year | ♥ Gryffindor ♥ ★ Ravenclaw ★ "Just in time!" Tayla exclaimed happily as she reached the entrance foyer of Gringotts. Her parents (mother a witch, father a muggle) and 6-year-old sister arrived at the same moment she did. "Have you gotten the sweets you wanted?" Tayla's mother, Nicole, asked. "Yes, Mum. I got a whole box of dark chocolate truffles. I'm sure April will like them, too." Tayla replied, showing the box of truffles she bought from Sugarplums Sweet Shop. "I like the robes you have on, Mum. Are they new?" "Thank you, sweetie," Nicole replied with a smile. "Your dad and I went to Madame Malkins yesterday. He got them for me." "It's quite fun shopping here in...Diagon Alley, am I right?" Matthew replied cheerfully. "Feels like being in a story book."
Tayla and her mom chuckled. "May I have some truffles now, please?" April suddenly asked, pulling Nicole's arm for attention. "Here you go, April," Tayla handed over a piece. "Let's go inside then," Nicole said. "We still have a lot to buy for you, Tayla. More books now you're a third year..."
And with that, the Barnhills moved towards the silver doors leading to the main hall of Gringotts.

Arabella Malfoy looked scared out of her guts and was followed her parents sa massive achievement to her, as she tried to not trip in front of the goblins and other witches.
A blush crept up onto her cheeks as she noticed that all eyes were on her because of how different she looked.
Her brother squeezed her hand as he whispered, "It looks as if these disgusting blood traitors and mud bloods have never even seen magic let alone a couple of children."
"Oh, be quiet." Arabella giggled in response.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Carigan Marie Tanner Second Year |
Carigan for the second time in her life crossed the threshold of the Gringotts Wizard Bank with her family. Her twin sister, Reagan, this time did not hold her hand but walked, somewhat confidently, beside her. Carigan's parents held up the rear. Carigan and Reagan wore matching dresses, Carigan in Magenta and Reagan in Aquamarine, they both wore small plastic flats that matched the dress. Reagan's hair was done in two tight French braids and Carigan's hair, which had been cut over the summer, now was in thick waves to her lower back instead of to her hips. Hoitt, Carigan's father, wore his 'business' attire which was khaki's and a white three quarter sleeve dress shirt and the first button was undone. Carigan's mother was wearing a royal blue flowing maxi dress.
Carigan walked with purpose to the window where she and her family would be helped down to their vault.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marie Shamira Faris First Year |
Marie was awestruck. She was here at Gringotts for the first time. So much had happened in the past few months, she never actually thought she'd make it. But she had. Of course, with the school term starting in just a few days, Marie had no time to look for a job. Heaven forbid she write home for money. Well she'd make do until Aunt Bertha's package arrived.
Taking a deep breath, she entered into the main hall of Gringotts.
