A trip to Gringotts

Harry's POV:
I make my way down the alley towards Gringotts, ignoring the other shops and people. When I get to the steps, I see two goblin guards looking at me intently. 'I feel a bit creeped out by them,'  I thought to myself while nodding at them in respect and walking past.

I missed the smirk they sent at eachother. I walked up to a free teller and waited for them to finish what they were doing. I may be crazy, but I'm respectful. When they were done they looked up at me and smirked. Confused and a bit on guard, I pushed the thought to the back of my mind and made my statement. "I would like to make a withdrawal please."

"And who might you be, young sir?" He asked with a voice the sounded like he knew the answer to his question. I looked around at all the people then back the goblin. "May we continue in a more private area please?" I asked, not wanting a repeat of my first year again. I really don't like crowds.

"Of course sir, follow me to a meeting room and I'll give you an inheritance test. I'll explain more when we're there."  The goblin replied. The goblin hopped off his chair and moves his hand in a 'follow me' kind of way and started walking towards one of the many doors.

We walked down a hallway and stopped at a door with a plaque with 'Meeting room 11' written on it. He opened the door and invited me inside. I was cautious at first before walking inside. It was a simple room yet somehow it still seemed elegant.

I sat down on one of the chairs when I was told to and waited for the goblin to get the inheritance test ready. When he did, he handed me a dagger with what looked to have runes on the handle and blade, along with a long piece of parchment. I took them and looked at him questionably, wondering what to do with them.

The goblin sighed. "Place seven drops of your blood onto the parchment. Use the ritual dagger to make a cut." He explained. I nod my head in thanks. "Is it okay if I know your name?" I ask, not wanting to keep calling him 'The goblin'. He looks at me for a minute, his eyes calculating before he nods. "My name is Ripclaw young sir."

I smile slightly at him and nod before slicing my palm, barely wincing, before dabbing the knife onto the parchment until seven drops have fallen onto the parchment. I give the knife to Ripclaw before looking at my hand. Before I could do anything however, Ripclaw waves his hand and my wound is healed. I frown in disappointment as I didn't get to taste any blood.

Unbeknownst to me, Ripclaw saw what I did and smirked darkly. After a minute, the parchment started to form words presumably in my blood as the colour of ink was a deep red. When it was done, Ripclaw handed me the parchment and I looked down at it in shock.

After I got over my shock, I gather my thoughts and think of the best way to approach all of my questions. I sigh before looking at Ripclaw again. "Ripclaw sir?" I say. He looks at me nodding so I continue. "Can you answer a few questions for me please" I ask, wanting to get this over and done with as soon as possible.

Ripclaw's face Portrays a calm look but from his eyes I can see he wants something in return. "Of course Lord Potter. What would you like to know?" He asks as he inclines his head for me to continue. "Well, I'm unsure of what everything under 'Magical core' means. As well as my Lordships and heirships along with all the vaults." I say quickly, asking everything at once so I don't have to ask them individually.

"For your first question regarding your magical core, the stability of your core is how powerful of a wizard you are, 1 being the lowest to 5 being the highest. The type is what kinds of magic your core is most familiar with." I nod alone with what he's saying to show I'm understanding everything so far.

"For example what magic comes easier to you. And your core colour is where your strength comes from. If it's white, then your core strength is average, if it's black then your core strength is weak, if it's pink the your core strength is below average, if it's red then your core is above average and if it's green then your core is strong." He explains patiently.

"But then why is my core colour a shade of green?" I ask confused. "Depending on the shade of the given colours, your core strength either gets stronger or weaker." He says. A look of understanding dawns of my face and I nod. "Your Lordships are one of the reasons that make you an adult whereas your heirships state that you are next in line to receive your Lordships." He explains.

"Of course there are much more to them than that but you can get books to explain it better." He says. "Thank you Ripclaw." I replied. "Now for your last question, you have 18 vaults altogether and the number of those vaults are at the end of each vault listed. As your inheritance test shows at the bottom, each vault has a slip of parchment stating all the money, jewellery, clothing, portraits and whatever else may be in there." As Ripclaw finishes explaining everything to me, he gets something from the drawer.

I try to collect my thoughts and analyse my answers. "Lord Potter, I have written a few books down that I thought you might want to read, as well as where you can find them." He passes me a slip of parchment with a list of books and stores to get them from. "Thank you sir." I say gratefully, taking the slip of parchment. "May I make a withdrawal please? From the Potter trust vault." I ask. He smirks. "Of course, follow me please."

He gets off his chair and walks to the door, I get up as well following him. He opens the door and guides me to the carts. When we get there, we get in the cart and I brace myself for the fast speed. This is gonna be a long day.
