Nicos POV (yes back to Nico)

Today was the day we were going to go shopping for school supplies. They told me it was a place called Diagna-ly? I don't know. But I didn't have any money.

Earlier, before the quest, Hecate gave me a key to my fathers vault. Vault 666, apparently my father has a sense of humour. Anyways, she said to go get some money from a bank called 'Gringotts'.

When we got here, it kind of reminded me of a building in New Rome. My first thought was, 'wow Annabeth would love this place!' 

We went in and there were a bunch of... oh no.

Goblins.

See, goblins were creatures of the underworld, so they have to obey my father and I. But they might blow my cover.

I told the others to wait outside while I go get my money. Thankfully, they listened.

I walked into the bank and was immediately surrounded by goblins saying either "my lord' or 'master'.

I just ignored them and went to the so called 'front desk'.

"I need access to my vault." I simply told the goblin.

He looked at me, eyes wide and said, " y-yes m-my lord, do y-you h-have your k-key?" Ha asked stuttering.

I gave him the key and he ushered me to a cart and we sped off towards my vault.

Once we arrived, the vault was crazy!

"Oh my gods what the heck!" I accidentally said in Italian.

On the door, there was a picture of a pomegranate tree with rubies falling from it. The goblin put the key in and then told me to put my hand on it.

I did as was told and got pricked.

I watched as a drop of my blood went through the doors and landed at the tee. And I quickly realized those weren't rubies, they were blood.

Then the huge metal doors opened and I gaped at what I saw.

The room was full of Drachmas, Danari, mortal money and the weird wizarding money they used.

I grabbed a small bad I found and began shoving handfuls of Drachmas and wizarding  money in it. Only to realize that the bad was never ending and that I probably already got enough.

I went out of the vault and the goblin escorted me to the surface. I met up with everyone else and we proceeded to get the rest of our things.

We got books, potion stuff, robes, and a pet. I picked out a little black cat and named her Bianca. She was also the only animal on the store who would let me get near her.

We got back to 12, Grimmauld place, and started packing.

Now, before the quest, Lady Hecate gave me a special wan that only I could use.

"12 inches, made of poplar wood, with a Thestral hair core, dipped in the River Styx." She said.

I started putting all my school stuff in a trunk that appeared on my bed with a note. In Greek of course.

It read:

Dear Nico,

     This trunk is charmed so only you can open it. I hope it comes useful.

       Remember, don't fail me and good luck.

From, Lady Hecate.

Yeah, not the best, but it'll get it done.

After I finished packing, I went downstairs for dinner to arrive to everyone talking excitedly about tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will be boarding the Hogwarts Express and going to school. Yay. (Note the sarcasm.)

I sat on my bed wondering what tomorrow will be like. Bianca jumped onto my lap and quickly dozed off.

I was curious to know what Al was taking about.

Before he left, he said that he would only accept me if I do him a favour. I hesitantly agreed.

I later down whilst thinking and slowly differs into a dreamless sleep.

I hope school will be fun. (Again, note he sarcasm.)
