Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sitting outside the Ice Cream Parlor, Amelia continued to study the list she made before she left her house that day. "Hmm" she pondered "I went to the Apothecary Shop, I went to Flourish and Blotts, I got new school robes, I went to Eeylops to get some Owl Treats for Demetrius...." "What else do I need to get" Amelia mumbled to herself. Passers by that recognized the pondering witch and even some of her classmates called their greetings as they walked off to one of the many stores in Diagon Alley which Amelia only responded back with the lift of a hand or a nod and smile. Then out of the blue it hit her like a bolt of lightening. She spent so much money on her school supplies that she didnt even think she will need money for the actual school year. Jumping to her feet she left some sickles and a galleon for her ice cream and then made her way quickly to Gringotts.

Arriving in front of the magnificant bank Amelia had a short flashback of when she looked upon this beautiful structure for the very first time. :Flashback: 11 year old Amelia Rochelle clutching tightly to her father's hand was being lead through the alley towards a large white building. Living most of her life in a quiet suburban lifestyle Amelia was frightened by the large crowds, the screeches, squawks, meows, and hooting of the animals in the pet stores, and the large buildings that seemed to be glaring down at her. "Daddy?" Amelia said Daniel Rochelle smiled at his daughter "It's ok sweetie no one is going to hurt you and look we're here" he said as he lead Amelia up the steps of the marble structure and brought her through the golden doors. Upon entering it seemed to Amelia like a regular bank that her daddy would sometimes bring her to back when they were living in Wisconsin but this bank was run by short, ugly, fearsome creatures that her father called goblins. Daniel walking up to the nearest "teller booth" said to the goblin who Amelia learned was named Ruckirk that he needed to make a withdrawal and to transfer some of his gold to a vault for his daughter. The goblin nodded and lead the father and daughter pair to the carts that took the passengers to their vaults. Daniel lifted his daughter into the cart and then got in himself . After what was maybe 2 seconds the three passengers shot off deep into the underground off Gringotts bank.

Despite her fear earlier Amelia was enjoying the ride down to the vault. It reminded her of the roller coasters her and her brother would go on when they were children. They arrived at the vault in record time and exited the cart. Amelia's father handed the goblin his key and Ruckirk opened the heavy metal rounded door revealing mounds and mounds of gold, silver, and bronze coins. Amelia's jaw dropped at how much money her father possessed in the wizarding world especially since they led a relatively poor life in America. Daniel looked at his daughter and his daughter looked back at him and said "Daddy we're rich" Daniel Rochelle could only look at his daughter and laugh. "Yes sweetie as wizards we are rich" :End Flashback:

17 year old Amelia smiled to herself as she remebered her first time visiting this bank and with that entered. "Hello again Miss. Rochelle" said the goblin Ruckirk that helped her so many years ago "How may I be of service?" " I need to take out some money for my school year." "Alright, Miss. Rochelle and to quote you from your second visit to this establishment, "To the Carts!!" " the goblin said sticking one finger up into the air. Both Amelia and the goblin laughed and headed off to the many vaults of Gringotts.
