A Taste of Magic

Chapter 110: 110th Course - Welcome Home

"Hey welcome back!"

"Good to be back!" Harry smiled. He wiped his hands clean and eagerly exchanged hugs and handshakes with the Crew. "Great even."

After taking a day after returning to rest and unpack, Harry was back at Gringotts Main Kitchen One. He arrived a little early like he usually did and got to work wiping things down and cleaning to prepare for the day. A few of the other goblins at the bank saw him leaving the Floo and greeted him cheerily, genuinely happy to see him.

"Heard you made a good show at the Showcase," Flynt said. "Nice work."

"Thanks! Oh by the way, was someone going to tell me that Mr. Leomattok was the Director of Gringotts Italy?"

"What, you didn't know?" Amythyst giggled. She and the rest of the Crew burst out laughing at Harry's expression. "You've been a Gringotts employee long enough to recognize symbols and official markings, haven't you?"

"He wasn't wearing any!" Harry exclaimed, making the others laugh even harder. "He wears really nice suits!"

"Which should be an indicator honestly," Salta snickered. "Then again, he has the reputation for doing things a bit differently and every bank has slightly different markings so there's that too."

"So how was I supposed to know all this?" Harry asked sardonically.

"Guess you weren't," Hacker grinned.

"And I guess you guys are like this because it's funny?" Harry sighed but smiled at the same time.

"Hey you get us," Flynt said to fresh laughter. "Besides, he likes you so that's what matters, yeah?"

"Yeah look at you, friendly with another Director," Amythyst said. "Making all these connections and what not. Next think we know, you'll be friends with Sylver and his lot."

"Is he the Director of Gringotts France?" Harry asked.

"Thankfully no, he's a prick," Salta said. She looked him up and down. "You'd think you'd get some fashion tips from your time in Rome and being buddy buddy with the Director."

"Yeah yeah, get it all out," Harry smiled while the Crew hooted with laughter. "I might return the souvenirs I got you lot if you keep it up!" He laughed when they booed and threw towels and things at him.

"You lot sure are loud today," Diglin said, walking into the kitchen. He smiled at Harry, "Welcome back, Harry."

"Thanks Chef!" Harry said, shaking Diglin's hand eagerly.

"Dee told me what a great job you did overall," Diglin said approvingly. "She was very proud of you."

"I'm glad she came," Harry said. "She's great."

"She had fun. Did some family business and got to threaten folk," Diglin said with a loving expression. "Even put on her war dress."

"Powers below," Flynt shuddered. "What made her do that?"

"Some idiots from that other school messed with the train," Diglin said, making the others shake their heads and snort. "Doran put the fear of Goblin in them and Dee did too."
