As the cart rolled to a stop, Quazi jumped out and grabbed the lamp. Making her way over to the vault, she removed the key and proceeded to unlock the door.
Standing back as the vault open, Quazi nodded. "Vault Number 283."
Daphne carefully stepped out of the cart. She was still a little wobbly from the trip down, but the goblin was unfazed.
"That's quite a ride" she remarked to the goblin. After Quazi inserted the key, lines in the vault door began to glow and move, like cogs in a muggle machine. Then the door opened inward, revealing a small closet, lined with shelves.
She stepped into the room and opened her small purse. She first pulled out a plain sack with the number '50' scrawled on the front. This was her total savings, she had to cut back on her clothes spending. Then she took out several small boxes and placed them on the opposite wall. These were her valuable jewelry which she only needed for very fancy and special events.
After finishing, she turned back to Quazi.
"Now, I believe I owe you a fee for the vault, is that right?" she asked, opening up her sack of galleons. She hated to part with her meager savings, but she needed her own vault, especially now that she had a steady job at the Daily Prophet.
