On a level between the 1200 and 1201st vault is the most prominent of the numerous creature lairs under Gringotts bank. This particular one is notable because it has a rather large dragon in residence. The Dragon in question is a rare hybrid, a cross between a Chinese Fireball and a Hebridean Black, is about 28 feet long from tip to tail and closely resembles a Liondragon save for its scales are coloured black, making it doubly hard to see in the gloom.

Like a Chinese Firedragon, it tolerates other dragons in the tunnels, the Hebridean Black's desire for a large range having been bred out of it. It has bright purple eyes and its tail is tipped with an arrow-shaped spike. She developed a taste for Goblins, a few having found themselves in her presence on feeding day. But the clankers are enough to keep the cart goblins, and the cart's other occupants safe.

... most of the time.

Jake could not have been more grateful when his feet touched solid ground. He had his arms wrapped around himself, clutching his notebook in one hand, and was looking somewhat in shock. That cart ride had been... something. And it wouldn't have been bad had it not been so bumpy and had he not felt like he was going to fall out and take a horrible plunge to the rocks below the track. The height didn't bother him. The sharp rocks did.

Now that he could stand and not fall over he looked around. There wasn't... much going on right here. He looked to Roderick. "What-"

But he was interrupted. But an... animal, it seemed like. A very loud animal. One that Jake wouldn't want to stumble across on his own. He continued to stare at their tour guide and wait for an explanation.

LilFox06 · 08-18-2013, 01:28 AM

Colin stepped out of the cart as if it were nothing. He'd made this trip once too many times to consider it anything but a roller coaster.

Ahem. Now. Back to business.

"Alright. I've got two jobs. I need at least one person to volunteer for both jobs. You can choose not to volunteer... but bonuses aren't required." AKA... they should totally volunteer and brown nose and the such.

The sooner they did that the sooner they could get started. No doubt they just heard Bunny. The longer they waited the hungrier the dragon would be.

oh its Erik ok · 08-18-2013, 04:00 PM

That sounded ominous. The loud rawr from around the corner. Which Nigel surmised was Bunny. And Roderick wanting a volunteer for two jobs. He has not even said what the two jobs where. So for that reason alone. Nigel did not raise his hand.

Nigel opened his notebook and took a few notes and closed it.

Now who would volunteer and when will they meet Bunny?

Syd · 08-18-2013, 11:07 PM

... So... was Roderick not going to tell them what thing just made that sound? The seventeen year old stared at the banker. And continued to stare as the man asked for a volunteer for two jobs. The man was good at being almost-creepily vague, Jake would give him that.

As much as Jake was starting to wonder if this was actually approved conduct for intern introductions, he raised his hand. "I'll do it." What was the point of being an intern at a job if you didn't actually do things the job would have you do? Which hopefully this was.

Cleo looked curiously at the man. Hmm... He wasn't saying exactly what the jobs were, but she probably should volunteer anyway.

"I'll do the jobs!" Sound excited and such and try not to be scared. Okay, breathe. Roaring dragons... Probably part of the job. Eeesh.

*PhoenixRising* · 08-19-2013, 01:33 PM

Oliver just listened as Roderick took in what they all said about being underage ... interests and whatnot. OH GOOD, they could learn each of the branches in brief; that would be helpful. Don't call him sir. Don't call the goblins creatures. And don't hang out of the cart like loose spaghetti. Obvious, that one, was.

Now time to start the tour by meeting some creature with the name of BUNNY. Was it cute and fluffy?! OR ... well, why would Gringotts name a creature 'Bunny'? But the cart was moving fast through a waterfall that didn't get them wet, and Ollie didn't have much time to ponder before the cart came to a screech and there was a loud roar..... and a dragon .... before their very eyes. Why did they have a dragon at Gringotts?? Did dragons eat bacon? Is that why Roderick said he hoped they didn't eat bacon?

Volunteers. Which it seemed Jake and Cleo were both eager to do so, Nigel not-so-much. What happened to being awesome? Ahem.

Raising his hand, Ollie nodded at Mister Security man, "If you need someone else, I'll do it." Or did he need all four of them and this volunteering thing was just a trick question? Wouldn't put it past Mister Comic-Relief....

LilFox06 · 08-19-2013, 11:37 PM

Colin smirked oh good. They all wanted to help. Minus Intern A. But. Colin was making him participate anyway. Why? Because he could.

Until Boss Lady told him to play nice. Which... Colin knew she'd be just as amused by this as he was.

He handed clankers to the two non-Hogwarts interns. "These are clankers." he explained. "Your job is to make sure these two don't get eaten." he said nodding to the Hogwarts interns.

Smirks.

Okay. Now. "You two..." he said addressing the other two. "You get to feed Bunny." And yes, the non volunteer was being forced into this. "The food is located on the other side of our dear pet Bunny. There's a door there. You can't miss it. There's gloves in there if you'd prefer to handle it yourself." AKA... the underage wizard kid. The other one can levitate it if he wanted.

"Our goblin friend here will accompany you." For reasons. "I'll be..." ~~laughing~~ "observing. If you enjoy this enough, you are more than welcome to do it again with a goblin escort. Otherwise, enjoy your time next to Bunny."

And with that, Colin expected them to get to work.

OOC: So. Hi again. I apologize in advance for Colin ~~being such a jerk~~ finding amusement in teasing you all. The vault that he asked you all to go to is a high security one. If/When someone touches the door, the door will engulf them and they'd be trapped (think, small flat closet). We won't leave you in there for longer than ~~a decade~~ a few IC seconds. Any character is more than welcome to touch the door or freak out no matter what job Colin just gave you. We'll have a goblin free you after we've all had a good laugh.

oh its Erik ok · 08-20-2013, 01:42 AM

See. It was predictable. Nigel did not have to "volunteer" anyway. Even though he did not raise his hand. He wished he got the job of making sure people did not get eaten. Sounded easier. But whatever. So all he and Jake had to do was go across the the room where Bunny is located, get his food, and then feed him. Sounded easy enough, if Bunny was not what Nigel surmised him to be. Merlin, he hoped Bunny was not a dragon.

Nigel began to think about it. But could not form any strategies until he knew what creature Bunny really was. Nigel was also going to have to use the gloves in the other room. And since he was underage. He could not summon the food and gloves himself. Fun. So Nigel gave Jake a nod and cautiously walked around the corner and got a good look at Bunny.

Merlin, Bunny was a Dragon. Just great. He was underage and had to feed a dragon.

Just Great.

Crickey.

Was she allowed to say that?

Aaand now she was having arguments about her thoughts. With her brain. She was going insane, definitely.

But still, Merlin! Cleo had the job to make sure people weren't being eaten! She took the... "Clankers," were they called? and nervously smiled at Oliver. He was the other clanker-job-person, right?

Oh dear. The Hogwarts students were going to feed the dragon. And Cleo had to make sure they weren't bloody eaten!

She took a deep breath. Mr...Erm, Mr. Sir... Shoot, she couldn't call him sir, but whatever, Mr. Sir wouldn't purposefully put them into danger, right?

Cleo started shaking the clankers, not reassured at all.

Syd · 08-21-2013, 12:24 AM

At least the guy was being a little less mysterious now, right? He was flat out telling them that they could die. Wonderful. Jake always preferred honesty to beating around the bush. He actually smirked at Roderick for it. Maybe the guy wasn't as bad as he thought he was.

He then turned his attention to the two teenagers that he was now entrusting with his life. Don't screw up, guys. He gave them a serious look, then decided to just get to it and do as he was told. Food. Room behind Bunny.

Jake waited for a moment to see what the clankers did, and once he was fairly certain the dragon wouldn't turn on him he started making his way behind it. He walked sideways, then backwards, keeping his eyes on Bunny the whole time. Once he was close enough to the door he raised his voice to get Roderick's attention. "Do I need a key?" Or would the goblin-

As he spoke Jake leaned a hand back on the door in question. Before he could finish his next thought, everything went black. And he wasn't behind a dragon anymore. He could hear the clankers, but distantly. Taking a slow breath, he reached back... and felt a wall. ... "What's going on?!" He asked, his voice rising again in pitch. He didn't like this Mr. Banker. This wasn't funny.

**Bunny the Dragon** · 08-22-2013, 12:37 AM

RRRAAAWWWRRR!

Bunny snorted a stream of fire at the human bean (Syd) that tried to get past her, swinging her giant tail, but it was too tiny and fast for her to grab without notice, especially now that it had disappeared. That confused her a bit, but she soon recovered. The dragon reared her head back, both purple eyes slit open now, and snarled more flames at the others who came close.

The clankers. Nooo. Bunny HATED the clankers. She shied away from them immediately, instead moving closer to the other human bean (Meizzner) around the corner. RAWR! TASTY BEAN! OMNOM!

RRRRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRR!

Raw human bean was yummy too, but she liked her meat well done.

Casey O · 08-22-2013, 01:53 AM

SPOILER!!: Jake

Cleo looked nervously at Jake.

"We won't," she said. She glanced at Oliver ~~again~~ and lifted her nose veeeeery slightly. Well, she wouldn't of course. No one was dying on her watch.

Her breath caught as she watched Jake move forward. By now she was flailing her arm to make the clankers louder. Her arm suddenly cramped up.

"Ouch," she hissed, then she switched to her other hand.

Oh my gosh.

Her first thought was that her switching of her hands had done it. She had neglected the clankers, and Bunny had eaten Jake. But she shook her head and blinked. If her eyes were correct... Jake had disappeared into the vault. Oh my...

She glanced expectantly ~~at Oliver~~ at the security man, waiting for him to get him out. When he didn't right away, she began to get nervous again.

"Erm, you could get him out again... Right?" she asked, fingers crossed. On the hand without the clankers, of course.

oh its Erik ok · 08-22-2013, 02:11 AM

Nigel was a little preoccupied with trying to copy Jake's way around the dragon without being eaten. Sounded hard enough. But had just enough time to watch Jake touch the door and disappear.

Merlin

What kind of magic was that. At least Nigel knew now not to touch the door. He walked sideways always keeping an eye on Bunny. And it seemed Bunny was focusing on him now that Jake is gone. Fantastic. Here is to hoping the other two interns can use the clankers or whatever they were. Once he was close enough to the door. He ran inside.

No door touching for him.

Now where were those gloves. He was not going to touch the dragon's food with his own hands. Just No. Plus he should probably wait for Jake also. Wherever he is.

LilFox06 · 08-24-2013, 05:16 AM

Colin was disappointed. And borderline impressed. The interns kept their cool. Which meant, Colin now had nothing to look forward to. A DOOR just ate one of the interns... and nobody even cared.

... maybe that kid wasn't well liked?

He let out a dramatic sigh. He walked his way over to the door. He shook the clanker as the the goblin next to him ran his long finger down the door, thus opening it and springing The Other Intern free from his trap.

"Moral of the Story: Don't wander. Make a goblin friend. Don't touch stuff you aren't supposed to." he said with a grin addressing all of the interns.

See. He was doing his job. He wasn't just being amused. There was a lesson somewhere in there.

He then leaned against the door frame. "As you can see... Bunny is a dragon. A rare hybrid at that. These clankers that we're shaking here keep it from coming any closer." he explained still shaking the object in his hand.

He made a face as he adjusted to the smell of meat. "Dragons are dangerous creatures. Please don't get too close to Bunny. She's eaten employees before." Which, may or may not be true. "The meat goes in the trough. She does blow fire, try not to get burned."

He lazy flicked his wand to demonstrate how it was done. A giant slab of meat rose of of the room and made it's way the couple meters to the trough and dropped with a thud.

Now. Carry on interns. She got hungry easily and if they didn't hurry... well... there was only so much a stunning spell could do. They did fill out permission forms for this internship, right? He'd just let them brainstorm on how to best tackle this project. He was curious to see if they worked together or worked separately. He knew what he'd do if he was in their shoes.

Syd · 08-24-2013, 08:19 PM

Jake was in the process of slowly counting to ten for the fourth time when he was suddenly back in the world. He blinked a few times as his eyes adjusted again to the light. Then he turned to glare at the back of Roderick's head as he explained to not touch stuff you're not supposed to. Really? Was that a jab? How was Jake supposed to know not to touch the door that he was told to go through.

Magic. Honestly.

The Gryffindor stopped glaring, though, and just folded his arms and looked at the banker that continued to speak. About Bunny. The dragon that ate people and blew fire. Frankly, Jake wouldn't doubt that. Roderick didn't seem to care about the potential threat of death that was apparently over his and the other interns' heads.

Now they still had to feed the thing. Jake looked pointedly at the Ravenclaw. Because Jake wasn't going to do it now, he was in a bad mood. And didn't fancy getting barbecued. Except... was he the only one that could use his wand? He couldn't remember who else had said they were of age.

**Bunny the Dragon** · 08-29-2013, 03:34 AM

RRRAAAWWWRRR!

Bunny wanted food. She was still trying to devour the yummy human beans when suddenly.. hmm. Was that meat in her trough? Much easier to retrieve than the little children. She stomped over and began devouring her meal before the slab of meat had been downed, and then her appetite was growing again.

RRRRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRR!

Which human bean to eat first? Bunny blew another stream of fire at them all, trying to tell which one looked more chewy.

Casey O · 09-06-2013, 11:12 PM

SPOILER!!: Colin

Cleo's stomach felt empty. Colin-security-guy seemed amused and... not protecting. Well, he was an official, so she tried to trust him. Plus, he was KINDA her boss, so... trust was important.

SPOILER!!: BUNNY

Cleo flinched. Dragons make roars, all fine. Eeeeesh.

Clankers, do your stuff.

SPOILER!!: Escort Colin

"Good. Cause you're just gonna have to deal with these so called 'jokes' that I have." See. Colin took the good and bad of Saxon. An this was the bad of her.

The girl simply followed him. Was this his office? Yes, she could safely assume that. "As long as there's no loop de loops then I should be fine."

An so the blonde got in the cart and took her seat. After some twists and turns, thankfully nothing to make Saxon sick the cart seemed to come to a stop. She glanced over her shoulder and all around her. Was that it? The blonde wasn't sure if she should get out just yet. So, yeah, we're staying put. Lunch anyone?

Colin laughed. "No loop-de-loops." he confirmed. However... it was still a crazy roller coaster like ride. He tightened a hand on Saxon's. You know, because he was a man and he didn't want her to be scared.

Once they arrived, he hopped out the cart. He grabbed a spare pair of clankers before holding a hand out to his girlfriend. "Now... promise you won't freak out..."

Because. You know. This is where there dragon lived.

"Thank goodness for the no loop de loops." She said with a breath of relief. Awww. Look at him. He was scared and had to hold onto her hand so she just squeezed his a bit. It's okay. Colin was a big boy, but he still needed reassurance.

Now she could hop out because he did. An she did that. What was it that he was holding? Why was that needed? Don't freak out?! Jeez, thanks Colin, that won't make her freak out. "Why...why should I not freak out? You know saying 'don't freak out' usually makes people freak out...." That was basic human sense.

The girl was now pacing back and forth and eyeing that thing Colin was holding. "Are we gonna die? Is that our rescue horn or something?" She said giving him more looks.

**Bunny the Dragon** · 11-21-2013, 07:22 AM

The mouth watering scent of human beans was enough to wake Bunny from her deep sleep. Paired with the noise of their feet trampling and voices whispering, the dragon was sure her meal on legs had arrived. Fresh meat was better than the hunks of flesh she was usually fed, and, besides, she liked a challenge.

Today? Get her meal on legs. Challenge accepted.

A furl of smoke issued from the cross breed's nostrils, her tail twitching ever so slightly, but she made no move to open her eyes or growl, not even bare her teeth. No, today, Bunny's food was coming to her.

Team ronmione · 11-23-2013, 04:15 AM

0_______________0

What was that wispy stuff Saxon saw in the air? What was that thing moving, very lightly, in the background. WHAT WAS GOING ON?! Out of terrible fright Saxon wanted to duck inside the cart. But, had it gone? She couldn't tell because her mind was spinning to fast to comprehend anything. So, the girl dashed behind Colin's back and peeked over his shoulder. "I think there's.... there's something there." She said quietly, pointing in the general direction of what she hoped had been a mirage.

LilFox06 · 11-26-2013, 02:32 AM

Colin just smirked a little. He got to play brave boyfriend now. This was a brilliant plan.

"You shouldn't freak out because I know what I'm doing." That's why he had the clankers. See. No worried. "And yes. There is something moving. This is where the dragon is. You're about to meet Bunny."

... who... was hopefully in a good mood. But, you never knew with a dragon. Especially a female dragon. They were ten times more temperamental than female humans.

"I just need to feed her real quick then we can head home." And with that he looped an arm through Saxon's and got the clankers ready. He then led the way to the dragon.

Sure. Colin knew what he was doing but that didn't mean a million things could go wrong right now! Anything was possible. An they were deep in the bank, Saxon figured, trapped, with no one able to save them if they were fighting for their life! Yes, Colin, thank you for pointing out the obvious of the movement. Saxon merely shook her head. "BUNNY THE DRAGON! Who in their right state of mind would name a fire breathing creature 'Bunny'?" The girl then let out a long sigh. "MEET!???!!!" Had Colin lost all his marbles?

"FEED! What?!" Goodness. Goodness. Saxon had never gone through such a testing time in ages. All of this was making her head spin way too fast. Couldn't Colin just work like, at the counter or something? Were his good looking self would be safe and unharmed?

Colin just chuckled. ... he actually didn't know who named it Bunny. He should search the records to find out actually. That would be a good idea.

He tightened his grip on her to keep her steady. "Yeah. Feed. It's fine. This is intern work really, completely safe. I promise." He then nodded to the metal pieces in his hand. "And, I've got clankers, just in case she gets too close."
