Hey guys! Sorry for some grammar mistakes and all of that. Please enjoy this chapter!
P.S. I was just imagining how Gringotts would look. I forgot how it actually looked like. XD
ArandomFangirler: Thanks for the support! Yes, I have read all of the books from TIF and TMI. I read TMI first, then TIF. I got confused a bit at the end of Clockwork Princess cause Jem was cured, but then I remembered he was Zachariah from City of Heavenly Fire. It was kinda confusing, but thanks for that little tip. :D
littlebear62007: Hey! Yes, I got comments about that. I'm really sorry. I'm that very talkative person that gives a little extra info at the end at the very last second, making the conversation awkward. Thanks for reminding me!
Thaliatheawsome: I'm super sorry about that little mistake. I should be punished for my ignorance O-o
Nico's POV:
"Gods almighty..."
What I saw immediately took my breath away. Towering buildings of stone and wood, bobbing heads with hats of different styles, a variety of birds flying overhead, and shops alined, showing their most gaudy wares up in display.
One by one, the Weasleys and half-bloods floo traveled to me. Leo bursted into flames from shock.
"Holy Hephaestus! This is SO cool!"
I nodded in agreement.
Unfazed by Diagon Alley's beauty, the wizards got in a circle with my friends. Mrs Weasley gave everyone, including me, a vanilla colored envelope.
"Inside are your supply list," Said Mrs Weasley. "When you're done, meet at Fred's and George's shop-"
"Excuse me Miss," I interrupted, "But we don't have money in your currency."
"Sorry deary, I forgot. Harry and his friends will take you to Gringotts to pick up your money."
Mrs Weasley gave me a huge, golden key. It had images that represented our godly parent. It was so fancy, I didn't want to hold it. If I broke it, I wouldn't forgive myself to destroy such a treasure.
"Come on you lot," Said Harry, walking with Ron and Hermione, "Gringotts is this way."
Harry's POV:
We all arrived at Gringotts, passing the door with the warning to not steal anything that didn't belong to you. I was still awed to how the wizarding bank's architecture, even though I'm not really interested in the subject. Tall, marble columns, magnificent paintings and gold designs on the wall, and a black marble floor with grey veins running through.
We all walked through the hall to the room where the goblins were at.
The exchange students had light in their eyes, seeing the architecture, but when they all saw the goblins, they tensed. "Have ever seen a goblin?" I thought, "Are they just that ugly? I'm going to have to stop this or a fight will come." Their tense bodies suggested it.
"Guys," I said with false cheer, "Why don't you give your key to the goblins so we can get your money? These goblins over here won't hurt you or anything." I forced a smile.
Their bodies relaxed a bit, and then they went to the nearest goblin, a fella with huge ears. I sighed in relief.
When the goblin received Nico's gaudy key, his eyes widened.
"Oh, my! This vault your entering haven't been visited in centuries," said the little goblin excitedly, "I've heard that it contain riches that outmatches all of the treasure in the bank!" The goblin quickly scurried out of his seat and hopped in place.
"Well? Come on you, lot," said the goblin, "We must see a legend!"
Hazel's POV:
I wanted to puke. When that jumpy goblin escorted us to the cart to which we were going to travel in to our vault, I knew I would't like it one bit. Now, we were riding the cart, going at a VERY fast paced. I sensed miles of tunnel passing us every few seconds. Another reason why I didn't like the tunnel was that it reminded me of the underworld. When I died, I had to travel deep into the earth to get to the River Styx. My face flushed. I groaned
Beside me, Frank was holding my hand tightly, his face a bit green. He made a reassuring face at me. I smiled weakly to show that I appreciated him trying to help me. On the other side of the cart, Jason, Leo, and Percy were howling in mirth, waving their arms in the air like they were on a- what? Concertmaster? Roller cruiser? No, roller coaster! The guys were acting like they were on a roller coaster. I still couldn't believe the technology in this era.
After what seemed like hours of agony, we finally slowed down. Coming to a complete stop, I groaned in relief. I stumbled out of the cart and fell on the ground, Frank right behind me. After everyone got out of the cart, Nico and Frank helped me get up. They were so sweet.
Once I got up, I was startled to see a grand double door, about 30 meters tall, and 20 meters wide- 10 meters on each door. I was solid iron, with designs of gold, silver, and celestial bronze. There were fancy swirls, and images to represent our godly parent. There was a lightning bolt at the very top with a trident and a humongous ruby either side, and continuing down was a owl, 2 crossed spears, a lyre, a bow, Hermes's Caduceus staff, a bunch of grapes and wheat, a hammer, a dove in flight, and a pomegranate (A/N A symbol of marriage).
The goblin inserted the golden key in a diamond shaped key hole, then did a series of motions.
Slowly, the grand doors opened, beckoning us to enter.
