Jenna walked along the rows of working goblins toward the front desk. She walked up to the goblin and said in a shy voice, "I would like to go to my vault please, here is my key." she placed the little key in front of the goblin.
He examined the key closely before sliding off his stool and walking out from behind the counter. He led Jenna to one of the many tunnels off I the main cavern and beckoned for her to enter a small cart. A bumpy, sickening ride later, the cart screeched to a halt. "Vault 97" the goblin announced as he inserted the key into the lock. The door slowly melted away to reveal piles if wizarding money. Once Jenna had gathered the amount of money she wanted, the goblin led her back to the cart. In no time, they had returned to the main cavern.

"Vault Number 724 please." Logan Auditore asked as he placed a silver key on the desk in front of the Goblin. The Goblin picks up the key, inspects it, and grunts "Right this way, please."
"Thank you." Jenna said giving a little bow to the goblin taking her key and putting in in the pouch with the money.
((role play ))"Ana! Hurry up!" yelled Amelia.
"coming." Ana yelled from behind her."*brething hevily* Sorry, you ran too fast. Caught in.. Traffic. .. Don't go." Ana said again.
" Sorry I was almost dry and it isn't even 12:00 yet!" Amelia apologies.
"Ok. Let's go change your money." Ana said."Hello. My friend here is new to Hogwarts and does not have any of our type of money. Only that muggle crap." Ana said.
"We need you to change the money" Ana said. Amelia took her wallet and passed it to Ana.
"Fine! Here's 100 Galleons and 14 knuts."
"Here's the money. Be careful with goblins. They can be mean. Let's go get your textbooks and robes." Ana said leading Amelianout.
Scott ryan walks in and walks up to the head goblin, he speaks loudly: "I need to access my Vault" he says as he lays an ancient looking key on the desk
Fleur walks in, her long blonde hair blowing behind her. "Excuse me?" she said to the nearest goblin, "I would like to access my vault, eef I may," and then casually checks that her perfect French tip nails were still perfect. "'Ere is ze key."and lays a fancy key on the counter.
"Right this way, miss," the goblin said, leading her to a small cart that stood on the tracks. "After you," he said, waiting for her to climb in.
Fleur ducked her head as she gracefully made her way into the car
The goblin climbed in after Fleur, pulling a lever and sending the cart racing down the track. They made several sharp turns as the ground continued to slant downward at a sharper incline, the torches became farther apart, and the air grew colder. Eventually, the cart screeched to an abrupt halt. Climbing out, the goblin inserted the key into an invisible key hole and stepped back as the vault opened, patiently waiting.
"Iz it goin to open soon? I do not 'ave all day!" she said impatiently.
"I apologise for the wait, miss," the goblin said calmly as the door slowly creaked open to reveal heaping piles of gold. "I will wait outside," the goblin said, gesturing for her to enter the vault.
Fleur waltzed into the vault, grabbed a couple of galleons, an said to the goblin, "I am ready to go now."
Turning the key once more, the goblin watched as the does swung shut with a bang. He removed the key and returned it to Fleur. "After you, miss," he gestured to the waiting cart.
Fleur sat primly in the cart, trying not to jerk too much when the cart made sharp turns.
The cart rattled to a halt when they reached the extravagant entrance hall. The goblin clambered out of the cart, dismissing it with a wave of his hand. "Will that be all, miss?" he asked.
"Yes, thank you," Fleur said, and waltzed out of the bank, money on hand.
Tonks walked in with a rusty bronze key. "Wotcher." She grinned at the goblin, who did not grin back at her. "Uh... Vault please. I like your hair. Unfortunately, white doesn't suit me, does it?" The goblin did not reply but Tonks handed her key over anyway. "Oops!" Tonks dropped her key with a loud clang, which scattered bits of rusty metal over the goblin's table. "Sorry!" Tonks grinned sheepishly.
"This way," the goblin grumbled, leading her to an awaiting cart on his stumpy legs. "After you," he said, motioning that she should climb in.
The ride was long and unsteady. The clanking of the metal bars made Jacqueline feel slightly queazy.
The cart was speeding along at such a fast pace... She struggled to keep a hold on her books as she sped down the railway system and stopped at one of the vaults, a short distance away from where they had parked.
She hopped out from a side of the minecart and wandered slowly towards the large and mysterious locker.
She had been to Gringotts before. Her parents had taken her there on several occasions but never before had she gotten to ride one of the carts. She remarked on how excited she had been when she first got onto the tiny passenger seat. Jacqueline always liked trying new things. Especially, things her parents had forbid her to do when she was younger...
But now she felt faint and sickly, having wished she had not got on the malicious contraption in the first place.
She walked towards her vault at the end of the quant passageway. Pulling out a small sum of money, she took a small leather pouch out of her back pocket and put some of the coins into the sack.

Turning back towards the Kart, she got in, cautiously, trying to find her footing. She made an attempt to get comfortable in the seating before the ride started. It would be an uneasy journey back...
Eva walked in, her key in her pocket. A small goblin led her into a cart, past the waterfall, where her family's fortune laid.
Hermione walked down the large hall to the Goblin at the front desk. "I would like to enter my vault." She says firmly. Then she placed the small, ancient looking, vault 210 key on the oak wood desk, in front of the goblin.
Gringotts Wizarding Bank is the only bank of the wizarding world, and is owned and operated by goblins. It was created by a goblin called Gringott. Its main offices are located in North Side, Diagon Alley in London, England. In addition to storing money and valuables for wizards and witches, one can go there to exchange Muggle money for wizarding money. According to Rubeus Hagrid, other than Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Gringotts is the safest place in the wizarding world.
