Chapter 36<br />
<strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ginny arrived at Gringotts at around 8 o'clock, just as most of the shops were opening.<br />
Looking around, <strong>Harry</strong> was again surprised at how quickly life had gone on after Voldemort was<br />
defeated. While the street wasn't bustling with customers like it usually was later in the day, there still<br />
seemed to be an excitement that permeated the air.<br />
Ginny lead a reluctant <strong>Harry</strong> to the front doors of Gringotts. As they went through <strong>Harry</strong> could have<br />
sworn he heard the goblin guards growling at him. Once they were inside it was a whole different story,<br />
the goblins were all behind the teller counter, although they were all looking at him with eyes that were<br />
a bit to hard <strong>and</strong> a bit too searching for him to feel comfortable.<br />
One of the goblins motioned <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ginny over, beckoning them to his portal with a wave of his<br />
h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
"Hello Mr. <strong>Potter</strong>, we've been expecting you for some time now," said the goblin in a deep raspy voice.<br />
<strong>Harry</strong> thought he detected just a hint of sarcasm in the goblin's voice, but couldn't be sure; he hadn't<br />
spent enough time around goblins. "Ok," he gulped, "um…here's my key, I just need to get some<br />
money out of my account," he stammered, completely nervous.<br />
"Of course you do," said the goblin, all too sweetly for <strong>Harry</strong>'s liking, "but there are some other thing<br />
that…need taking care off."<br />
The goblin's hesitation <strong>and</strong> vagueness scared <strong>Harry</strong>, especially considering what he Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione<br />
had done during their search for the Horcruxes.<br />
"Maybe we should call for Bill," said Ginny, picking up on <strong>Harry</strong>'s fears, as the Goblin hopped off his<br />
stool <strong>and</strong> started to lead them towards the doors that led to the vaults.<br />
"Yeah, that's a good idea," said <strong>Harry</strong> as Ginny pulled out her w<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> silently sent a patronus to Bill.<br />
The horse bounded silently to the back of the room where it went through one of the doors <strong>and</strong><br />
disappeared.<br />
<strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ginny were just about to go through the door that led to the vaults when the door the<br />
patronus went through opened <strong>and</strong> Bill walked out, a small smile on his face. "Hey guys, I was<br />
wondering when you'd be showing up," he said. Then, he turned to the goblin <strong>and</strong> said, "I'm coming<br />
with these two Grongo, they're family."<br />
"Fine Mr. Weasley," said the goblin, some what dejected, "but it will be a tight squeeze in the cart."<br />
"I can sit on <strong>Harry</strong>'s lap," said Ginny happily.<br />
"Fine," said the Goblin, what ever Mr. <strong>Potter</strong> wants." The goblin's voice was dripping with sarcasm, or<br />
so <strong>Harry</strong> gathered from the way Bill rolled his eyes once Grongo's back was turned. But Grongo led<br />
them to the cart <strong>and</strong> soon they were hurtling through the dank tunnels that made up the underground<br />
maze that was Gringotts.<br />
They first went to <strong>Harry</strong>'s vault <strong>and</strong> there <strong>Harry</strong> filled his money sack with gallons, not really sure what<br />
he was going to buy, <strong>and</strong> not really wanting to come back too soon.<br />
Then they got back in the cart <strong>and</strong> quickly ascended to the main level where they were greeted by a<br />
woman with the air of an accountant. She was wearing sedate gray robes <strong>and</strong> had straight blond hair.<br />
"Hello," she said sweetly, "I'm Am<strong>and</strong>a Intorgo," she stuck out her h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> shook both <strong>Harry</strong>'s <strong>and</strong><br />
Ginny's.<br />
"Am<strong>and</strong>a h<strong>and</strong>les all estate transactions here at Gringotts," said Bill.
