It was that time of year again. Tex was very used to the hustle and bustle of new Ministry employees opening vaults the same time every year. It was nearly as busy, for the counter goblin, as summer was with all the wandwaver children.

She motioned the next customer up to the window. "What can I do for you?"

Miss Howard stepped briskly up to the counter when summoned. "I would like to open a vault, please. Here is my paperwork," she said, sliding the parchment across the counter toward the goblin who'd spoken to her.

Tex nodded, accepting the paperwork. She looked over it and nodded. "Okay. Now I will need to register your wand." she said holding her hand out for it.

Miss Howard handed over her wand--beech, 10 3/4 in., quite bendy, with a unicorn hair core.

Tex accepted the wand in her long goblin fingers and carefully studied it. "Will you be wanting to visit your new vault today?" she asked before holding the wand back out. "Or, if you'd prefer, you can leave any initial deposit with us and we can take care of it."

Jane thought for a moment--the money she would gladly leave in the goblin's capable care, but some of the other items...no, she had better take care of this herself.

"I think I would prefer to visit the vault, if it's not too much trouble."

"Yes. Very well." Tex replied. She then slid a small bronze key across the counter. "Vault 92." she said. "You will need that key and your wand when you wish to visit your vault." she explained.

She then waved over a goblin to guide her to her vault.

A vault goblin hobbled his way over to the counter. "Tex." he greeted with a nod. He then turned his attention to the human. "Please follow me." he said leading the way to the corridor and mine cart.



OOC: Sorry for the delay. You can go ahead and post in the corridor walking to and riding the mine cart to your vault. I'll get your vault thread opened for you after. :)

Jane was still straightening her hat, which had nearly flown off during the wild ride back up from the vaults, as she stepped back into the Entrance Hall of Gringotts behind her vault goblin. Well, that was one piece of business taken care of, and one of the more important pieces. Nodding her thanks to the goblin, Tex (she still chuckled inwardly at the name, though it would never do to laugh out loud at a goblin), she headed out toward the doors.
