Hey everyone. This story was written for Emy's Emporium on September Writing Club on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I wrote for 1. All Goblins and the prompt was (creature) goblin. This a continuation of Little Moments. I hope you all enjoy Goblin Questions.
Andromeda looked nervously between her sisters as their parents lead the girls into Gringotts Wizarding bank. This was her first time ever going to the wizarding bank ever before. To top it all off it was to get money for her first year of Hogwarts.
"Bella," she whispered excitedly to her sister, "do you see them?" She pointed at the goblins working at their benches. "I thought they'd be more gross looking than they are."
"Shh!" Druella chided her daughters as they walked down the aisle towards the first teller they could get to. "Don't whisper and point, Andromeda. People will talk."
This confused Andromeda more than anything. Why would her Mum be afraid of people talking about them? Didn't people already talk about them because they were pure-bloods and rich? Why would that be something to not want? Looking up at Bellatrix she went to ask her older sister all the questions she had but stopped when Bellatrix motioned her to be quiet.
Druella motioned the girls to follow her as the goblin that was helping them lead her to a cart. The carts looked really scary and it took some convincing to get both Andromeda and Narcissa in their cart.
"Is this dangerous?" Andromeda whispered clinging to Bellatrix's hand as though Bellatrix would be able to protect her from being hurt if they crashed.
"No," Bellatrix whispered back seeing their mother looking over her shoulder at them. "The goblin knows exactly how to drive the cart so that nothing bad happens. They know everything about this bank. At least that is what Father says."
Andromeda nodded knowing if Bella got her information from Father that it couldn't be wrong. Could it?
"But has anyone ever heard of a crash..."
"There never has been a crash of any of these carts, Miss," the goblin said overhearing the conversation causing both girls faces to color pink at being caught telling tales. "Nor will there ever be."
Bella gave Andromeda a quick nod. After all who would know more about Gringotts and this cart system than a goblin who worked there. Right? Seeing the look on their mother's face she both herself and Andromeda were in for a talking to once they got home. The help was never supposed to talk to them that was one of the Black family's most important rules. It always had been. Always would be.
I hope you all enjoyed Goblin Questions. This the perfect prompt for getting me back into my sweet fluffy writing style that I love. I can see Andromeda and Bellatrix whispering back and forth while at Gringotts as children. Can't you?
