Alyssa felt strange as she walked through the doors of Gringotts into the main hall. The place was soooo BIG and she felt so small standing in that large room. She was here to open an account and deposit the big bag of gold galleons her parents had been saving for her and which they had withdrew from their own vault at Gringotts. They could have all shared one vault, which they did when she was in her 1st year at Hogwarts. But this year they decided that she needed to have her own vault because they wanted her to be responsible for her own money.

Because her parents were hardworking people and had saved for many years, she knew that she would have enough money to last her long after she left Hogwarts, and who knows, by then she would have her own job in the Ministry and would be earning her own money. So she did not have to worry that she would not be able to buy the things she needed. Of course she still needed to spend wisely.

But it was time to stop dreaming about the future, the present was more important, and she needed to hurry up or she would not have enough time to buy her school supplies and everything else she needed for her 2nd year at Hogwarts.

She stepped up to the counter and handed the application over to the goblin that was manning the counter. She saw that he was busy writing, so waited a couple of minutes before saying "Please sir, could you help me?".

She waited patiently until someone came and escorted her to the Main Hall where all transactions would be made. She was starting to get nervous

Clara nearly jumped into the air as she heard the voice and turned around quickly, only to find another girl, who didn't seem to have much of an idea on what to do either. At least she wasn't alone in this place. "Not really." Clara mumbled awkwardly, biting her lip. Not wanting to look like much more of an idiot, Clara continued to speak, even though she didn't have much of a decent answer. "But, I mean, I guess we just have to wait. The goblins will probably explain everything to us. I'm sure we'll be fine. You've got your application too, right? You applying for your first vault also?" Clara smiled faintly as she pulled out her own application, dangling it slowly from left to right.

Skye grinned at the girl before pulling out her application. "Yea, it's my first vault." She said, nodding slightly as they moved forward. Her boots heels clicked on the marble floor again.

Finally. It's time for Raine to go to Diagon Alley to buy her school stuff. Her mom and her needed to stop by at Gringotts, though. She need to have a new vault for her. She entered the door and quickly fill the application up. She still doesn't have a wand so she leave it blank or well... something.

Ira had heard much about Gringotts... Finally she was here to see it herself.
And by God, the entrance foyer was magnificient, even bigger and better than expected. There were so many types of different people... she did not even know what all were called. There was a goblin standing near the entrance steps, Ira thought must be a watchman. She Took a deep breath and as calmly as possible, she went up the stairs and entered the bank.
Ira wanted to open her own account... Before, this sort of things were always managed by her parents, she never have had an account in a bank. So she was a lil nervous being all alone out there.
Slowly she approached a goblin, a kind looking old goblin to ask the details...

How did he always manage to attract these particular types of women. At least with Annie, you knew what you were getting straight off. Not that that was a compliment or anything.

He rolled his eyes at her. Since when did she ever know him to be violent? Well okay there were a couple of times when someone tried to cheat him at cards but really they had it coming. "Aww come on Annie don't be mean. They won't try anything if you're withme." Not that he was expecting anything to happen but you just never know with Goblins.

"No need to worry. I have enough small change as it is." Like he would need HER money. He had his own and plenty of it. And Axe was used to looking and not touching where she was concerned. He was finally getting used to it.

Marcus looked down at the nails in his arm and then back to her face. "You have a liquid lunch again?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow at her. Why else would she need his help to walk?

"Of course not. You're lucky I am here." Annie's nose once again went up into the air as they set off down the street. What had she said about her gracing him with her presence? Exactly.

Annie gave Axe a withering look as they reached the entrance of Gringott's. "Don't be stupid. I gave up those bad habits ages ago." That said, she still did enjoy the occasional adult beverage, but that was all.

Responsibility. It came with being in a serious, committed relationship.

Dean hasn't been to Gringotts for a long time. The last time he came here was when he wanted to terminate his account when he was going to Hungary around a couple of years ago. Now, he doesn't have much money left in his pocket. He definitely needs to get a job soon!

Pushing the door, Dean makes his way into the foyer in his casual clothes on. He wants to reopens, or opens a new account for his saving. And he should make a little deposit just in case.

Well he wasn't sure lucky was the word he would use, because every time he and Bunz got together things seemed to happen and most of the time it wasn't good. "You keep walking around with your nose in the air like that and something is bound to fly up there." Or Axe may just cause something to fly up there.

Holding the door open for her, Marcus gestured for her to go in ahead of him, he couldn't help but laugh at what she said. "And just in time too. You know that drinking causes premature aging and you wouldn't want those lines on your face to get any deeper then they already are."

Oh Axe you are on fire!!

Lillian went inside. She looked around, not knowing what to do for it was her first time in Gringotts.

"Now, what should I do and where should I go?" she asked herself. She saw some students who looked like first years and followed them. Unfortunately, she lost track of them when a big guy walked in front of her, completely blocking her view. "Great! Now I know what elves feel like," she said while trying to get ahead of him.

After the struggle between her and the guy, she went straight to the Main Hall, hoping to find someone that could help her.

As she walked into the entrance foyer for the first time, Laurie Moon was aww-struck and a little frightened, for she had never seen so many goblins in one place before, and they didn't necessarily look friendly. She took a deep breath and nervously walked on knowing that the goblins were not a threat unless she crossed them by breaking thier rules, and she had no intention of doing any such thing. She was just another witch tring to keep her money safe, and after all this was the best place to do it.

"Ha bloody ha," Annie snorted, rolling her eyes. What on earth would fly up her nose? Unless somebody intentionally made something zoom up her nose... and that would be rude.

The redhead still strutted into the bank ahead of Axe and paused to dig around in her purse for her key. "Oh shut it. You're the one with gray hair. And I don't have any wrinkles."

Lies.

Marcus was quietly laughing as he followed her into the bank. Annie was always good value. He hadn't this much fun in a long time. "You obviously don't have a mirror back at your house then." he murmured in her ear. "And gray hair can be covered." He gave her a little hip bump as they walked.

His eyes were on the look out for that goblin that owed him money. He better be here otherwise this was going to be a wasted trip. Well not quite a waste. He peeked at Annie out of the corner of his eye. Sometimes he thought he still loved her. Other times he could happily throttle her. "So how is your old man doing anyway?"

Annie gave Marcus a swat. "Quit buzzing in my ear, you weirdo." And who was he joking? Of course she had about a hundred mirrors in her house, at the least. There was one or two in every room, around every corner! No one was more vain than Anastasia Bunbury Truebridge.

Smirking to herself as she watched Marcus looking squirrelly, Annie led the way to the counter. "Ethan is fine, thank you for asking. Haven't you talked to him lately?"

She had thought they were friends...

He knew it would only be a matter of time before she hit him. She seemed to have this for violence and.. "You just can't keep your hands off me, can you?" He rubbed his arm while giving her a smirk. That would probably earn him another one.

Marcus shrugged his shoulders. "Your husband is not big on conversation. And I have been on the road so much that I rarely see anyone these days." Hmm, wonder if he should pay Hecate a visit while he was in town?

"So you two gonna start a family anytime soon? If you are, you better hurry up. That biological clock is ticking."

Oooh that infernal man! "Oh shut up, Marcus, or I'll specifically ask the goblins to feed you to Bunny." She was on friendlier terms with the goblins than he was, that much was certain.

She gave him a scathing glare and started off toward thee counter. True, Ethan was not much of a talker. "But what are you doing on the road, Axe? Following other bands around? Being a solo opening act? How's that working out for ya?"

Ha! Annie laughed at her own joke and then froze as Axe brought up the one topic that made Annie nervous. She swallowed and half-turned to face him. "I... I've been meaning to ask Ethan about that.... it's something we haven't exactly... discussed...."

That made him laugh even harder. You always knew when she didn't have a witty comeback because she got all fiery and started to make threats.

But it never lasted long. Marcus rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at her retreating back before quickening his pace and catching up with her. "I was managing a band for a while." Until he got a better offer. "And yes I ahve gone solo and it's working out quite well. Thanks for asking."

Ohhh looks like he had hit a nerve. But what she said made him stop and he stared at her. "You haven't...oh Annie...how could you two get married and not discuss THAT?" It was probably one of the most important topics a couple should talk about.

Annie continued chuckling to herself. Really. Axe's solo act. "What's the name of your show?" Annie tossed back to him. "Charity? Donations Accepted?" Hahahahahaha she could just seem him playing his little guitar - no, a ukulele - on the street like the bum he was.

She stopped when he did two and drew her purse tight across her chest, getting all fidgety all of a sudden. "Well it was obvious marriage was the next step... I suppose we both just assumed the topic of...children...would come up eventually..."

She shrugged. "I suppose we haven't gotten around to discussing it." That was all. Like Marcus had said, Ethan Truebridge was not big on conversation.

"You are so amusing Anastasia." Merlin! She could be a right royal pain in the rear end. "What are you doing with your life? Besides strutting around Diagon Alley spending Ethan's money on clothes you don't need and lunching with your..." Did she even have any friends? "Acquaintances?"

"Oh obviously." That sarcasm was back in his voice. "If it was so obvious then why the need to elope?" As far as he was concerned that was what two people did on the spur of the moment. A rash decision.

Marcus shook his head at her, feeling quite disappointed at her. "And what happens if one of you want children and the other one doesn't?" He may be an idiot at times. And he would be the first to admit that he had made some mistakes but at least he had learnt from them.

"Excuse you." Annie was insulted now. "First of all, it's our money, not just Ethan's. Second of all," she flipped her hair over her shoulder, "I am still a professor. A wizarding university professor, if you must know. And it pays quite well, so it is none of your business what I do with my money."

At least she didn't gamble it away like he did. "The wedding was... not exactly spur of the moment." Annie rolled her eyes. Now he was all curious about her ring. Mhmm. "We were engaged first." Obviously. "It just so happened that we were on vacation in India, and there was this beautiful garden..."

She smiled happily at the memory. "It just seemed right. So we got married." And there was no wedding to stress about, no guests to please. So much easier to elope.

"If one of us wants children..." Annie had considered just... getting pregnant and then telling Ethan. A bit like how they had gotten engaged, really. "I don't know," she said softly. "We've never had an argument, ever, and nothing like what we went through all the time."

Merlin, Marcus had spent weeks on the couch when he and Annie were having an argument.

Raven slowly opened the huge doors and read the poem/riddle. She would have never found anything like that in the muggle world. Her parents were stepping very slowly arms hooked together, slowly trying to protect their daughter, Raven from this amazing yet scary world. They were afraid it would be too much for their 11 year old daughter. But, Raven was a precocious and ferocious daughter. She was spoiled and because of this very loyal. But she always got what she wanted in the end. And this was what she wanted. To open a vault at Gringott's. She pulled her nervous parents through the second set of doors and stepped into the large main hall. Her parents had a large bag full of cash. They were silently wondering. Is this really a good idea?

Abby has entered th strange tall building...she was amazed by the grandness. "Wow!" the young girl gasped in excitement. Her first bank account!

She walked towards the counter, slightly nervous inside. She faced a goblin, his face so...strange, so scary. "Umm...sir...I-I would like to set up an ac-account for my sister and I" was all Abby could say to the goblin, who stared at her.

"They take SO long! How long have you been waiting for?" Raven said impatiently.

The beautiful blonde boombshell Elizabeth Dragonheart just recently found out that her mum and dad have gotten a vault for her when she was first born and now that she is 11 and is about to start school her mum and dad are actually letting her go and she how much they are giving her. She knows that her family is very rich but she is just excited to find out how much she is going to have of their money

Since her arrival in Diagon Alley, Faven had heard much about the magestic, myserious place that is Gringotts. She knew that it was a bank, so why was there so much secrecy about it? Why did people speak of it in hushed, awed voices? Goblins, seemed to work in Gringotts and controlled who came in or out. As a Muggleborn, Faven had a hard time even believing that Goblins were real, and she was frightened about seeing one.

I walked in to the huge wizarding bank. "Wow!" I thought to herself, "I have never been somewhere like this!" My parents knew I was a witch ever since I was three years old when I accidently tearned a teapot into a mouse with my mothers wand. I don't know why they wanted to keep me in the muggle world, they just did. They told me that when I got my hogwarts letter, they would let me come to Diagon Alley (they always used to tell me stories about it) and open up a Gringotts Vault. I was too exited to stand there any longer. "Elina?" My mother called from further into the bank, "are you coming or not?"...
