| | Gringotts Main Hall and Service Counters  The main hall of Gringotts is a bustling place, impressive in its scope, scale and grandeur. The walls and the floors are made of gleaming marble and there are exquisite chandeliers lighting the hall. Long counters of dark and rich wood line each side of the hall. Goblins sit behind each desk, though there are a few witches and wizards wandering around. Beyond the long counters there are doors, leading from the hall to who knows where. Occasionally the doors appear to flicker if you stare at them for too long.
The door which leads to the vaults and indeed to every other room in Gringotts, changes according to a secret schedule. This is the second of the safety precautions protecting the vaults beneath the ground. The first precaution is of course, the security Goblins and Wizards who are stationed at each door and roam the main hall and the entrance foyer.
Step up to the appropriate counter if you dare. Be sure to have your wand and key at the ready if you plan to access your vault today. OOC: It would be helpful to us if you title your post with the service you require (new vault, deposit, withdrawal, potions market, currency exchange etc). We encourage you to post your character making their way through the entrance hall before posting here, but it is optional. You can message one of the Gringotts employees (LilFox06) if you have any questions.

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.

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.

"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." |

"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.

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.
