He approached the counter again and ask the goblin more firmly this time "Excuse me ma'am, I'm here to exchange the 4000 euros my parents gave me... They're in Flourish and Blotts picking up my books." He refrained from explaining further that they're waiting for him to come back from Malkin's to pay for the books so they can go to the carnival.
OCC: I didn't mean to skip over your post
IC: Bok had a total sneeze fit as a line of customers came and went. She was not improving and she was wondering how much longer she could stay at work, before she was ordered home.
"I'm sorry," she said wiping her nose and blowing her ears. She took the money from the boy and weighted it out.
"Its going to be 542 galleons and 2 knuts. With the 5 galleon bank fee its will me 537 galleons and 2 knuts," she slid the money into the bank bag.
"Sorry about the wait." she said with a small smile.

Well...it was kinda hard to tell since Josh did not really know much about those bank worker beings yet judging by the voice tone the worker had spoken with, the Gryffindor could assume that was a she.
Then she spoke replied to his question making the boy blink a few times at her all over again. No charge for the services today? ''Ah!'' well...he had no idea how much of his money he could give anyway if he was charged for a fee. ''Then i suppose i misunderstood that. Thank you and good day.''
Now to the owl shop to buy some pellets...
...or not.
Upon hearing an angry male voice yelling about, the Gryffindor stopped again and curiously looked back. What was going on? Hey! Apparently this dude was annoyed about the fact that...there was no charge for the services today. That was weird and...
Huh?
No one worked for free? There was a five-galleon fee for everyone?
Josh narrowed his eyes and took a few steps closer to the angry boy just when he voiced the 'you charge this boy of none' part of his loud complaining...which made him immediately look back at the bank worker ''Is that...right?'' But she had said there was no charge for...today? Now the lion boy was utterly confused and...felt pretty weird since he did not have any 5 Galleons. Maybe he should not have come here at all.
She nodded and smiled at the boy. It was mighty noble that he had come back thinking she forgot to charge him a bank fee. She didn't think anyone else would have done that.
"You have a good day," she told him shooing him away with a smile.

As he was walking with such fury and rush that could knock someone down, he passed by the currency exchange window on his way out... and as adrenalin has that effect; his senses were sharper than normal and he heard a boy ask a question. A question that made him stop dead in his track and turn his head and glares towards them.
He was not charged any exchange fee? The goblin HAD NOT mentioned any?! What kind of a business was they conducting here?! Did their policy change according to people?! Then what about that bloody humiliation in the manager's office? Was she all bluffing?! Watching with even more fury than ever, as if that was possible, he held his breath and waited for the answer of the goblin... which said they were not charging anyone today. The very SAME day that he had to pay bloody 5 galleons for a stupid work!
"WHAT does THAT mean?!" he roared towards the goblin, making a very cool turn that could have waved the skirts of a long cloak, if he wore any. He didn't care AT ALL that he was fifteen, and that goblin probably had much more age. This was about being fair and equal to everyone here, which the very manager of this ROBBER and CORRUPT bank hadn't held herself to explain so in a high voice.
"WHAT do you mean by 'no charge today'?" Hopefully, that director heard all of this commotion. Or maybe she wouldn't care at all, since it was probably she who told to look after this boy and who knew how many more 'special' people to charge nothing for their work. "You have just sent me to your director because I -rightly- complained about the five-galleon fee. Your director gave me a very enlightening speech about how no one worked for free, and how that five-galleon fee was right. And yet, now, just a few minutes later, you charge this boy of none. Do you realise this is practically saying we are fools?" He took a breath. It didn't help him calm down at all.
If looks could kill, all the goblins here were dead right now.
She was about to close her window to head to lunch and to make soak her ears to unclog them. She was just having an all around bad day when that annoying little wizard came roaring back towards her. She jumped off her stool,
"You will hold your tongue. This is not a playground it it a place of business." she told him sternly. She was not going to be yelled at by a human child.
"The banking business of each customer is a private matter and not open to discussion by you. Now if you continue in this matter. I will have you detained and turned over to the MLE." She eyed him.
"Irregardless of who your father is." she added. He thought his father's position was a trump card for him to bandy about with.
