A goblin named Grimblethorn came up behind Duchess and Kim, “Right this way, Ma’ams.” They followed the goblin down the great bank, with their shoes clacking on the marble floors. Ben stayed back, still in awe, looking up at the ceiling. Duchess and her mom followed the goblin to the back of the bank.
“Feels like everyone’s watching us,” Kim said, looking around.
“We are,” Grimblethorn replied.
The heavy gold doors magically opened up to them, and a golden carriage zoomed forward and made a sudden stop in front of Duchess and her mother.
Duchess eagerly climbed in, and as her mom carefully stepped in, not trusting the tracks as she looked into the canyon underneath.
Some time between Kim giving the American dollars over to the goblins and the quick arrival of Duchess to vault 8487, the American currency had been exchanged into wizarding money. “Wizarding world is smaller than Muggle world,” Grimblethorn growled, “we use the same currency around the world. Here’s your vault. All in galleons.”
Duchess carefully stepped into her vault and looked around at her new wizarding money, stacked high. “Just take a few galleons, knuts… don’t need too much. After you get your wand, it will automatically connect with your vault.”
Grimblethorn took a step back as Duchess grabbed a handful of gold.
“Is this enough?” She turned to ask her mother.
“How should I know?” Grimnlethorn grunted. Duchess grabbed another handful.
“I told you already. You don’t need a lot since they’re trying to implement that contraption at all the shops.” Duchess turned around and stepped out of the vault and back into the cart.
