Chapter 14: So to Gringotts we go

To say Dani was amazed at all the colors and feeling this alley was causing was inaccurate. She had never felt anything close to what Diagon Alley was pushing at her. Unknown to Dani and her three uncles, she guessed not quite sure what to call them; Dani has gained Mage Sight from her momma Lily, which would be discovered soon by the In-Depth Magi Test about to be done by the Goblins.

Walking toward the large pristine white building, Dani sees two Guards dressed in shining polished armor while having a sword strapped to their waists and holding long sharp spears. 

"They are called Goblins, my little flame." Dani hears the soft voice of her Mitera whisper in her ear, "You shall stand as tall as you can before them both and with your right hand make a fist above your heart and bow your head while saying, 'May your gold ever increase and your enemies cower at your feet.' Doing this will let the Goblins know that you respect them as their people and see them as equal to all others."

Knowing Mitera would never steer her down a dangerous path. Dani took several steps ahead of the three adults and stopped a few feet in front of the goblins and while, standing tall bows her head while making a fist with her right hand over her heart before saying, "May your gold ever increase and your enemies cower at your feet." 

 Surprising, not just the two goblins but also the three adults with her.

Both of the goblin guards look wide-eyed at each other before returning the bow and replying at the same time, "Well met young witch, may your gold grow and your strength cause your enemies to flee." 

Before moving to open the doors for the young witch and the adults accompanying her. Moving through the doors and into the bank, she sees a long hall with tall workbenches holding twenty goblins; on each side, with a singular desk with a singular goblin at the end; looking, between different reports while reading from multiple books.

Approaching one of the tellers on the side, Tom stands before the goblin, silently waiting for the goblin to acknowledge him. After a few minutes, the goblin looks down toward Tom before saying, "I am Teller Griphook; how can I help you today? "

Tom gestures for Dani to step up beside him before replying, "Hello, Teller Griphook, I am here with Heiress Potter to talk with her account managers Ragnarok and Ironblade."

Looking at the man Griphook sneers as he impolitely did not introduce himself before nodding and barks back, "Follow me then."

Teller Griphook leads the young witch and the three adult men down the winding and twisting halls leading them, deeper and deeper into the bank, before finally stopping at a large door with a golden plate with black writing stating, Gringotts Manager Ragnarok. Knocking on the door, Teller Griphook waits until he hears a quiet "Enter" before opening the door and waving the witch and wizards into the office.

Dani, clearing her throat to gather Teller Griphooks attention, repeats the same bow as before while saying, "Thank you for guiding us here, Teller Griphook, may your gold ever increase and your enemies cower at your feet." 

Shocked at the formal greeting and farewell leaving her mouth, Teller Griphook responds quietly, "May your gold increase and your strength cause your enemies to flee, Heiress Potter." Smiling back at the goblin, Dani nods her head and enters the office.

Again, repeating the bow, Dani says, "Hello Gringotts Manager Ragnarok, may your gold ever increase and your enemies cower at your feet."

Ragnarok smiles widely at the young witch and responds, "Greetings, Heiress Potter, may your gold ever increase, and your strength causes your enemies to flee. How can I help you today, Heiress Potter?" Ragnarok completely ignores the three adult wizards in favor of the polite young witch in front of him.
