 "Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there."Gringotts Wizarding Bank is the only bank of the wizarding world, and is owned and operated by goblins. It was created by a goblin called Gringott, in 1474. Its main offices are located in the North Side of Diagon Alley in London, England. In addition to storing money and valuables for wizards and witches, one can go there to exchange Muggle money for wizarding money. The currency exchanged by Muggles is later returned to circulation in the Muggle world by goblins. According to Rubeus Hagrid, other than Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Gringotts is the safest place in the wizarding world.
The motto of Gringotts Wizarding Bank is Fortius Quo Fidelius, a Latin phrase that means "Strength through loyalty".Current Employees

As they entered the massive building, Maylene lightly tugged her youngest along, as she was stopping to gawk at all of the goblins. It wasn't polite to stare, after all. The woman walked up to the main desk, her heels clicking against the tiled floor, the sound echoing throughout the room. "Good afternoon, sir. This young lady here needs to convert her money into Wizarding currency," she said, gesturing at Rider. An idea came to her mind, so she turned to Rider and said, "Would you like to open your own account, Miss Rider? I'm sure we could cover any possible opening fees for you," Ah, Maylene was doing as she always did; looking out for others.
Meanwhile, Skylar clung to her mother's leg, staring up at the creatures surrounding her. What were they? They definitely weren't people like her and her family. Maybe they were monsters? She didn't like monsters at all! The toddler's bottom lip quivered slightly at the thought, but she stayed silent. Tori, on the other hand, had seen the goblins before. Her and her father had come to the Alley a few weeks prior to set up her own account as well. Being at the mature age of eleven, it was about time Tori stopped hoarding all of her allowance in her piggy bank and put it somewhere safe. She was just like an adult! Only, not so much at all.

Denise Snow, Mother of three
Feather Snow, Upcoming first year
Where are we? Diagon Alley Streets
Why are we Here? To get Feather school Supplies
Who are we with? Each other
Feeling? Feather is excited, the boys are excited, Denise is rather frustrated.
As the rather large group entered the bank, Carter was the first to notice that two brunettes were inside as well. But one in particular caught his attention. "Shayna!" He cried as he broke free of his mother's grip and ran over to the brunette. Shayna looked around and noticed her little brother and happily swept him up into a hug. Feather was looking around and wasn't sure what was going on here, she had been in this bank before but dangit this place was amazing! And then she heard Carter cry out for Shayna and turned. There was her older cousin! She ran over and wrapped her arms around the girl's waist. "Shayna! How have you been! I haven't seen you in forever!" Denise just shook her head as she followed her little group over just to keep Carter from being too bad. She watched as Maylene took care of Rider and she smirked at her daughter.
"Hiya mom! Where's Ryan? I see you have Carter and Feather today." Shayna asked the woman, and she smiled as soon Ryan was pointed out, looking at David. "Hiya David!" He said happily. "So what are you two doing here?" Denise asked.
"We are getting a puppy and needed to get some money. What about you guys?"
"Well. Candace asked me to take Feather to get her things for school. And we ran into the Macclellan Family and Miss Rider. We all decided to help Miss Rider come to the bank before we head to the pet store. And hello David dear." She said happily. Denise was happy to see her daughter. Even if it had only been two weeks.
((Let me introduce Shayna, Denise's eldest daughter xD ))

Maylene seemed not to notice at first when the Snow family went off to converse with a young couple. She turned around, along with Tori and Kyson, to see them all hugging. So they knew each other? Tori slipped away from her mother and followed the others. "Soooooo, you all know each other, then? Hi, I'm Tori Rae," the girl said with a smile and a wave. The brunette was talking about her and the other boy getting a puppy. Oh, if only her parents would let her get a puppy too!
Maylene turned her attention back to Rider. She was saying how she shouldn't open an account today, without her mother's permission. The woman nodded. "Fair enough, Miss Rider," she said. She waited for the goblin to convert the girl's money for her. Then, she would meet the new little group. Kyson was already ahead of his mother, wandering over to the others. He looked at the young woman and man, then muttered a "Hello." So they were all going to go together, eh? Fun fun.

Denise Snow, Mother of three
Feather Snow, Upcoming first year
Where are we? Diagon Alley Streets
Why are we Here? To get Feather school Supplies
Who are we with? Each other
Feeling? Feather is excited, the boys are excited, Denise is rather frustrated.
Feather looked up at David. She hadn't ever met him before... Although she had heard of him from her sisters but she had never met him. Then she turned to Tori Rae as she came up. "Tori! This is my cousin Shayna. I think this is her boyfriend... David? But i'm not totally sure." She said happily. "Shayna, this is my new friend Tori Rae! Her mum Maylene, younger brother Kyson, and younger sister Skylar! Skylar is so cute don't you think? Oh and we are helping Rider!" She said pointing to each one in turn. Shayna was slightly rushed with all this information. She hadn't expected to see her brothers, mom, cousin, and some new friends of theirs. She smiled happily. "Well hello. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. It's very nice to meet friends of Feathers." She said happily as she set Carter back on the floor. He whined but crossed his arms and pouted after a moment. He was rather attached to his older sister.
Ryan smiled as David commented that they would be bigger than he was. "Are you kidding? I'm only half your height!" He said chuckling measuring himself to him. Carter was okay with David. At least he was nice."Sounds fine by me. The more the merrier right?" Denise asked before heading over to also withdraw from Feather's bank account. The young one had her own account because she was trust worthy enough for it, and she wanted to buy her own school supplies. After that was taken care of Shayna smiled at David. "That sounds like a great idea. I'm still curious as to who you are." She said still teasing. So except for Elton, the head Snow family was gathered... It was odd. Denise went to help with Rider's conversion just in case.
((I'll update the format to include Shayna in a bit >.< ))

Tori looked to the people Feather introduced her to. Her cousin, Shayna, and her cousin's boyfriend, David. "Nice to meet you, Shayna and David." Maylene arrived in a few short moments, with Skylar at her side. When she heard mention of her name, the four year old looked up. There were so many people... She nervously his behind her mother's leg, hiding her blushing face. Maylene turned to Rider, who asked about the creatures that worked at the bank. "Those are goblins, Rider. They're absolutely brilliant beings, but not all of them are as kindly as you'd expect. They run the bank here, and most of the wizarding economy, as well as mint the coins we use as currency," she explained in a hushed voice. Looking to the group, Maylene nodded. "Alright then. Shayna and David are looking for a dog. We were headed to the pet store. This all works out perfectly, dears! Shall we be off?" she added with a small grin.
