A Nonsensical Ninth:
When the cart finally stopped, the passengers were in very different states of being. Harry and his mother bounced around with a maniacal light in their eyes. The slightly unhinged duo had spent the entire time squealing $Faster, faster$ and were now bouncing in their seats hissing $Again, again, let's go again!$
The reactions of Hagrid and Käärme were just a bit less zealous. Hagrid was looking very pale and seemed like he was trying to keep his food down, while Harry's father was even greener than usual and was muttering about how he was pretty sure a clause in their mating kept Tähdet from exacting this kind of cruel and unusual punishment on him.
The goblin sneered in disgust at the queasy duo before leading the group over to a vault. Inside it were piles and piles of gold and artifacts.
$Best get lotsss of gold Hatchling, we must retrieve enough supplies to assimilate into Wizarding society with ease.$ hissed Käärme before he retreated under a pile of galleons to nurse his motion sickness.
Harry took a bag from the wall next to the door and began to stuff in galleons into it. He couldn't wait to buy as much of the cool new things he saw as possible. Finally, when the bag was both full and heavy (it had had an extension and feather light charm put on it) Harry stopped. Ignoring Hagrid's nervous questioning about the wisdom of taking so much money with him, Harry turned to leave… only to get dragged back by his parents.
$Take the key from the oaf.$
$Wha- oh! Right!$
Harry turned backed to face Hagrid and forced a smile. "Could I have the key to my vault please Hagrid?"
"I dunno 'arry, shudn't I give it back to Professor Dumbledore?"
Harry felt his eye twitch, "But Hagrid, doesn't it belong to me? Besides, it used to belong to my," Harry felt the bile rise in his throat, so he widened his puppy eyes, "to my parents! And I haven't got anything left from them. I don't even remember their names or faces…"
At this Harry trailed off, looked away, and pretended to sniffle. Hagrid, with a panicked look on his face, immediately handed over the key and started to proclaim what great people a James and Lily Potter were. Whatever, who cared about some light side losers anyway? Harry and his parents got in the cart while Hagrid was still rambling and blubbering, in fact, he was only cut off when the cart sped off. The goblin had, to Käärme's utter horror, complied with the begging of Tähdet and Harry, and they had shot away from the vault going even faster than before.
Once outside, the serpentine family had taken one look at Hagrid's pale features and grinned to each other.
$Time to lossse the oaf!$
"Hagrid," called Harry sweetly, "You look a bit off, why don't I make my own way around shopping, and you go take some time off?"
"Well 'arry, I don-"
The half giant was abruptly cut off as Harry shoved a few galleons at him, "Nonsense Hagrid, go have a drink, my treat. Why don't I just meet you when I'm done?"
Hagrid still looked a bit indecisive… right up until Tähdet reared up and started hissing at him.
$Looksss you overgrown Foodlingsss, if we wassssn'tsss in public I'd killsss you I wouldsss, tearsss yousss to Ikle bitty bitsssess and eatssss yousss all up. No onesss would ever ssseesss yousss again…$
After that Hagrid was more than happy to leave the little family behind, barely stopping to point out the tavern he would be staying at before he left. Once he was out of sight, the trio grinned at each other…well Tähdet and Harry did, Käärme was still quit woozy and was busy bemoaning his awful choice in love. Meanwhile, Harry and his mother had made a very important decision…
