Finally they stopped and the Goblin held the lantern out so he could step onto the stone outside Vault 713's door. The Treasurer clasped his hands behind his back and looked down the tunnel of the track as he heard the Goblin going about his work of opening it for him. The little voice sounded and Harold was not expecting those words?

....

"Excuse me? What are you talking about?" Lagerty laughed uncomfortably at the Goblin's odd joke and stepped forward into the vault.

It. Was. Empty.

Like nothing was there! No coins (Gold, silver OR bronze), all the documents that had been stored there, the expensive furniture and tapestries as well as a few jewels here and there. EVERYTHING the Board had for the school's budget was GONE.

"Merlin..." Was all that the man was able to say at first but he regained his voice rather quickly as panic set in. "YOU!" He shouted and pointed at the Goblin. "Why is this vault empty? Hogwarts nor the Board of Governors have been down here in weeks! I need to know who's been in here, I want to speak to someone immediately!!"

His stiff knees were suddenly wobbly, and Quizzit instinctively cringed away from Mr. Lagerty. "Sir, I don't know! I haven't taken anyone up to this vault," he stated, blinking frantically. "I.. we could talk to the bank manager if you want, Mrs. Clark? Or the head of security, Sturnik, or the wizard in charge of security, Adam, or any of the other workers here, or.. or.." He peeked back in the vault, just to be SURE it was empty.

He looked back at Mr. Lagerty, and then to the vault, and then back again.

What had just happened?
