"She's with you." Quizzit turned the wand about in his hands, noting the length and the material, knowing for sure that it was definitely Colin's wand.

Grumbling a bit about his joints, he hopped out from behind the counter and eyed the woman before beginning to lead them to cart. A pair of clankers, and he was all set to go. "Right, then. This way to Vault 713, follow me, please." Just instructions for.. Mr. Roderick's.. friend. Because he knew how this worked.

Ahem.

Colin nodded. Yup. She was with him. He waited until he received his wand back. He then held the gate open for the elderly goblin and the Ministry employee.

He lowered his voice and whispered along the way. "This is Quizzit." he told her. "Easily the oldest goblin here." he explained. "The Hogwarts vault requires a goblin to enter it." Just for her information. Of course, he guessed MLE already suspected that. "He's normally the one stationed at the window... but the event was a complete surprise to him."

Desiree felt like she had been waiting for hours. She absolutely hated waiting, but she never let people see her impatient. People would be less likely to give you things if you look rude and demanding. Yet another thing Mother taught her.

The line had moved, what, two people? Three? Mother had gone to sit down, leaving Desiree by herself. Finally. She hated how Mother watched her so carefully.

The line moved up slightly. Desiree was twirling her wand in her hand. She tried to look happy and smile, but she was sick of waiting.

He finally saw a sign that said new vaults. The building was very large and he had wondered if he would ever figure out where he should go. "I'm here for a new vault" the young boy said. His hand still clutching the money transfer sheet his mother had given him. Asher would have brought his mother, but she was still too sick to leave the house. He had to do it alone.

Nervous and slightly sick to his stomach, Asher patiently waited to be helped. He wasn't in a hurry, but he sure did want to hand over the bank information from his grandmothers estate before he lost it.

Félicie strode confidently up to the counter, wand in hand and a large bag with everything she wanted to put in her vault as a first deposit. She'd looked over her form many times, and was sure she'd gotten everything right, so she glanced around to see if there was an available goblin anywhere around.

"Excusez-moi? I would like to open a new vault for my family, please," she said. It was always hard to project confidence when she was scared, and honestly, goblins intimidated her. She offered a nervous smile and wished fervently that Rory would show up soon from work and take over for her.

Calista had already filled out her new vault application and had some galleons in her sak bag to deposit. She needed to get her vault set up right away so she could start having her ministry wages put into her Gringotts account. There was some business she could not attend to until this was done. "Yes. Hello? Can someone please escort me to my new vault? I would sincerely appreciate it."

Which his son balanced on his shoulders and his wife by his side, Aron lead the way through the moderately crowded bank and towards the counters. He was eager to get this part of the day over with so they could get on to more important things, like taking a stroll in the park and looking at the foliage and food. The Australian was more than a little hungry given how close it was to the lunch hour.

"I hope this won't take too long," he mutter under his breath as they waited in line, rolling his shoulders a bit. "Alright buddy. I'm gonna need to put ya down. My shoulder's need a break."

But really, telling a toddler that they couldn't be held was asking for the waterworks. Op, there they were. Just as soon as his feet touched the ground.

Hands in her pockets as she went, Seren tagged along at the end of the line with her husband. This was the last thing she wanted to do today, or during her holidays at all, but the sooner it was done, the sooner it would cease plaguing them. Besides, they were still together for the day. One family unit. "They look busy..." Seren observed, her head turning to look up and down the length of the line and the counters.

Her blue eyes turned to her son as Aron removed him from his shoulders, already anticipating the tantrum.

"Shhhhh shhhh shhhhhhhh," she soothed, her arms already around Derfael and picking him up to hold around her waist. Merlin he was getting heavier. What did he weigh now? The equivalent of a moderately sized potted puffapod? "Mummy's got you," she cooed, kissing his blonde hair gently. And now that she had no work obligations she could hold him all day and all night for as long as she needed to.

Yeah, well, they weren't the only people who were busy and his impatience was beginning to show. He hated being indoors during the summer. Such a waste of the photosynthesizing powers of the sun, ya know? "Hopefully we are in and out of here before moss starts growing on us," he grumbled as he eyed the goblins behind the counters. He didn't particularly like dealing with their sort - not that he was anti-goblin per say. He just found them very unpleasant.

Shoulders relieved for the time being, he rolled them nice and slowly clockwise twice and then counterclockwise five times to get some of the kinks out. He had been carrying his son on them since they had left the flat and that was quite a ways away.

"Now here is a sight I miss seeing," he chuckled as Seren picked their son up.

Coriana sighed as she joined the line waiting for new vaults. "Was it like this when you got your first vault mom?" She sighed again when her mother nodded. "well, this sucks, glad i got the clothes first then." She fidgeted with her wand as the line moved slightly.

Seren couldn't help but laugh lightly, "I don't like our chances, but patience is a virtue." She didn't pay the goblins much attention, there was something about the way they looked right through you that left her feeling cold inside, hardly welcoming - though they weren't all so bad. No, rather, she took notice of the fact that more people were queuing up behind them, it was a busy day indeed.

Snuggling her face into Derf's, Seren gave him a little eskimo kiss before pulling faces with him. All smiles. Her darling husbands comment resulted in her smile broadening, "Here that Derfael? Daddy likes seeing us together again." It was just such a shame the school holidays would go more swiftly than they had come.

Lucy found the line to get her vault and waited patiently for one of the goblins to notice her..Goblins were very fascinating for her and Lucy admired them for their ability to construct objects of metal ..She clutched her wand in the pocket and she imagined touching the sword of Godric Gryffindor .. how she wanted to hold it someday ..

What was that noise? Sturnik's ears hurt. It sounded like human child. He patrol strolled toward the service windows. King Ragnuk the First! Was that female "adult" one sniffing the nose of the child? Humans had odd behaviors.

"We have a room to entertain the human children." he said as he passed. "I find that they don't help the banking process." He then gave them a good look over. As head of security, he found that they did not pose any threats. He didn't trust the child one though.

"What type of vault are you here for?"


More human children! It must have been summer. Oh how it was more fun to repossess the student belongings and not serve them. "What vault are you waiting for?" he asked looking at some female witch children. The Head of Security needed to know these things. Plus, if they were here for low security student vaults, he could move them up in the line.

SPOILER!!: the wife and the goblin :3

Patience. He couldn't help but chuckle at Seren was the one reminding him about it. He felt confident in saying that could be a VERY patient person. Or maybe persistent was more his virtue. Trying not to look too grumpy, he instead focused on the interaction between mother and son. Probably not the best time to bring up that conversation again...

Thankfully he didn't have to say anything due the arrival of one of the goblins. About time too. "We're looking to open a VIP vault," he responded, venturing a glance towards Seren briefly. He would let her handle that whole...play area question.

With her son now quiet content on her hip, Seren was able to refocus on the task they'd set out to achieve in this... outing. Waiting was never her strong suit either, but she was willing to make the most of the time by unburdening herself of the troubles created by stress. Holidays were not for stressing. Holidays were for enjoying her family's company. For this reason the goblin's comment did not strike her as a viable option and though Aron seemed content with leaving it be and focusing on their account, she was not going to let it go.

"That's all well and good, but it won't be necessary, thank you," she commented, considering the goblin hadn't actually asked nor insisted. She was happy to keep things civil but she would not let him makes assumptions regarding the behaviour of her darling oak prince!

Coriana straightened as the goblin came towards them. "My parents and i are here to open a vault for me for school. "She smiled up at her parents as they turned towards the goblin. "We have a generous amount to put in it to start with."

Goblins... They still freaked Leah out. She tightened her grip on her father's hand. She had to do this, creating a new Gringotts vault. Seeing the little kids at the counters relaxed her by a bit, they all seemed younger than her, and what would they think if they found out that she was scared of goblins?

Leah let go of her father's hand, whispered "I can do this, Father." in his ear and walked to the line in front of the window. "Hello? I'm here to open a student vault?" she said to a patrolling goblin. Wait, was that Professor Bentley? Startled, Leah muttered, "uh, hello Professor. It's good to see you." Meeting a teacher and her family during summer vacation was just bizarre.

Lucy shivered when the goblin talked. "I would open a new vault for me, I'm a student, a first year! My father already has a vault, he works at the S.Mungo hospital but.. I would a vault all to myself". She turned to her parents, who smiled her..

Ooh, look. Children. Lyzrog bounced excitedly as she watched little humans mill around the bank. There were older ones, too, but they weren't as fun. Lyzrog couldn't enjoy watching anyone, though, because there were children to be dealt with.

"Hello," she called with a bounce and a wave of her hand from her window. "Come, come. We can get you both fitted with a vault right up here."

Since Sturnik seemed busy with the little family, Lyzrog waved her hand again to get the next girl's attention. "Excuse me," she said, motioning for the girl to come over. "You're looking for a vault?" She leaned forward, putting on a smile for the girl. A cute little first year. "Please fill out this form, Miss, and we'll get a vault set up for you."

Very well then. Keep the human child. Just make sure it remained quiet. Unless he'd like to excite the dragon on their way down. Actually, Sturnik might enjoy that. Too bad his job not only meant he must protect the bank, but also the human patrons. Even the tiny smelly ones.

"Yes. Yes. Very well. You'll be pleased to know that those vaults are very safe. Inspected by myself personally." he said nodding to his head of security badge. "Have you already been approved?" he asked. He knew the humans had preapproved department heads and governors. Foolish move, he thought, considering the type of vault that was robbed. But it wasn't his decision. "I would also need to see both of your wands." he said holding out his hand. He needed to examine them. "I also assume an application has been filled out."

Finally! There was some help. Sturnik made a mental note to check on everyone's break schedule. It seems that they all seemed to fall at the same time. Not very efficient in his opinion. He offered a wave and his trademark smile to the window goblin. He then commented, very slyly, on how nicely she looked in her dress. In Gobbledegook, of course. He didn't want the humans knowing he had a soft spot for the pretty ladies. No, sir. He was a tough goblin.

Leah turned around to see another goblin waving at her from another window. Yeah! Leah hurried to that window before the other girl got in front of her or someone else could call her back.

"Hello. So, I can get a vault? Right now?" she asked, rocking on her feet. "It's pretty exciting, getting my own Gringotts vault. I read that it is going to very safe."

"Oh, the vice president." She was handling the Board's vice president! Good thing she hadn't let Jake take THIS one.

Not that she wouldn't. Ahem.

Upon reaching the new vault window, Lucia tapped the counter in front of an old looking goblin to get his attention. He'd been previously busy with some paperwork, but the customers were more important, right? "Do you think you could handle this man for me, Mr. Wizspigot? He's the vice president of the Board of Governors, so he's already on our list of those with pre-approved dignitary vaults."

Oh lord. Quizzit wouldn't have to take the man UP there, would he? His stiff knees had been hurting all day; there was no way he'd make it to a vault without collapsing. But since Mrs. Clark had asked, Quizzit nodded a crotchety nod and nudged a form at the man.

"Fill that out." So polite, he was.

NOOOOO it was goblin time. Sigh. Nolan knew this was inevitable coming to Gringott's and whatnot...and of course, as he expected, he wasn't very friendly. So Nolan quietly took the application from him and began to fill it out. Pretty straightforward!

Once he was finished, he smiled politely and pushed it back across the counter to him. "There you go - all done!" he told him happily. Come on goblin, cheer up! Nolan was nice!

Nola lead the way into Gringotts with her father trailing behind her. She waited in line to fill out the forms and waited as patiently as she could without fidgeting. Which really was quite a defeat.

With her brand new wand waiting in her bag she waited for a goblin to become available. As much as Nola was interested with the goblins she was more interested in exploring Diagon.

Offering his wife a smrik, Aron reached forward just to pop his son on the nose real quick before he looked back towards the goblin. "I am a Department Head at the Ministry and my wife is a professor at Hogwarts," he explained as he pulled out his Ministry identification and presented it to the goblin for inspection. That pretty much summed it up, yeah? No interview required. Just set them up with the vault so they could be on their merry way.
