~~Eira's POV~~
"Eira!" My name was echoing through the vast halls if Grimmuald Place. "Eira!" The shouting of my name came closer and louder, before my bedroom door slammed open. Hermione stormed in "Ei-ra." My name died upon her lips as she discovered me on my bed. "George has just arrived so we can make final plans," she spoke softly. I gave her a goofy grin and slid off the bed, pulling on an oversized jumper with an F on it. "Let's go then, shall we?" I giggled with a /With a bounce on the stairs, Hermione and I made our way downstairs to the kitchen. Around the table was Andy and Teddy along with Luna and George. Teddy gave a squeal from Andy's arms, his hair and eyes flashing to match mine before flicking back to turquoise. I dropped a kiss on Teddy's brow before sitting down next to Andy. I ruffled his hair and turned to George, giving a goofy grin. George's eyes flicked to the my jumper, a sad smile gracing his /He turned his attention back to the table. "We must discuss our plans with the Goblins. Is everyone ready?" Hermione and Luna nodded, rising from the table. George gave a slow nod and rose too. Andy smiled gently, "I'm going to stay home with Teddy. You can go to Gringotts. Let me know if you go anywhere else." I smiled back and gave a nod. "Bye Teddy," I said as I pressed a kiss upon his head. Heading to the fireplace at the end of the kitchen, I was filled of thoughts of the outcome at Gringotts and whether or not we we're making the right choice to leave. George stepped through, followed by Luna, then Hermione and myself, each shouting "The Leaky Cauldron." The cacophony of noise slamming into us as we stepped out of the fireplace. Heading to the entrance of Diagon Alley, my thoughts moved to the awe I feel every time I come to Diagon Alley as the magic made the bricks move to make the archway.
George, Luna and Hermione fell into step around me, shielding me from the onlookers as we made our way to Gringotts. The imposing white marble building rose above the streets of Diagon Alley, glistening as the morning sun shone off the white marble. As we approached the doors of Gringotts, the four Goblins guarding the doors gave us each a nod. Nodding back we passed through the doors into the imposing and daunting halls. The gold and marble halls glittered from the sunlight glittering through the new domed skylight. Glancing around the hall, Goblins were at their teller stations and against the walls, with gleaming golden spears eager for bloodshed.
Arriving at a teller station, I gave Hermione a small grin and a wink. "Griphook, may your blades and quill be ever sharp." I spoke calmly, a smirk flitting upon my lips." Looking up, Griphook gave a sharptoothed grin at the group in front of him. "May your gold be ever flowing and your enemies defeated Lady Potter-Black," Griphook spoke with an almost purr to his voice. "How may I be of assistance today?" I responded with a smirk, "We will need a private office to discuss our affairs Teller Griphook. It is a matter of utmost secrecy and urgency."
With a sneer and a short nod, Griphook closed his teller station and led us to an ornate hallway. Once in the hallway, we all relaxed and smiled. "May we drop the formalities now?" asked Griphook as we made our way down the private hallway. "Yes, Griphook, old friend," we all replied. Griphook led the way down the hallway to his office, asking of Teddy and Andy as we followed along. Walking into the ornate office, we all sat down the beautiful desk placed at the head of the room. "So I assume this is about your travels?" "Yes, we need to organise an itinerary and find a house, as well as a shop location for George." George looked up in surprise at my thoughts but nodded confidently.
Hermione piped up, "We should start in France then go to Romania. From there Australia before we head to New York." We all turned and looked sharply at her as she started talking. She blushed crimson and looked down. George spoke "Why France and Romania? And why Australia?" At that I gave Hermione a sad smile. "I sent my parents to Australia after I obliviated them just before the war. I'm hoping to find them and reverse the memory charm. As for France and Romania, it's where Bill and Charlie are. They're not like Mrs. Weasley and Ron." "Very well Miss Granger, now for the properties in New York, I have a very nice house in your list of properties. The house boasts a generous 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and a spacious yard with a pool. I have also made a purchase for the shop across from Mr. Snapes apothecary as the floor for the new Weasley Wizarding Wheezes location. And if this does not offend you, I've placed a transfer request to continue being the goblin in charge of these accounts in the transfer to New York's Gringotts Bank site." Griphook spoke calmly. "I have also drawn up your itinerary for the travels, and by the time you've arrived in Australia, we will have located your parents Miss Granger." Hermione's head snapped up so quickly, I almost thought it would snap off. "You can find them?" She asked with a small voice. "We can Miss Granger." "Hermione, please. Can you reverse the spell?" She asked so softly. With a sympathetic look, Griphook nodded. "I'll put our best Goblin Healers onto it. Would you like us to find and treat them immediately? So they are ready for you when you arrive?" "Yes, please. Thank you so much Griphook." Griphook gathered up the pages littering his desk and moved them into a file. "We shall update the wards and renovations at the house, we will also send along a few house elves to help with the house. Now I suppose you have a new wardrobe to buy?" We all nodded and gave our thanks. We then exited the office and made our way out of Gringotts. We left Gringotts, stepping into the rare sunshine in London. "Where to now?" I asked, blinking slowly in the sun. "Vertical Alley will have what we need." George gave me a smile and linked arms with me. Luna began skipping off down the street, Hermione following after her to make sure she doesn't stumble into anyone.
Time for shopping, I guess.
