Lily Luna Potter, daughter of the famous Harry Potter, walked nervously to Gringotts Wizarding bank, a great snow-white building that seemed to tower over the other shops with large bronze double doors, these she pulled on to enter. Then after walking just a little way, she found a pair of silver doors, with a warning on them:
"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."
—Inscription on the doors of Gringotts[src]
To be honest, she thought, she had never even dreamed of thinking to rob Gringotts. Her father had informed her that on his birthday, Hagrid, the larger-than-life caretaker of Hogwarts told him that you'd be mad to rob Hogwarts.
She swore then that if she could help it, she would never enter these doors to steal a single thing, even a pen! Once she swallowed the fright, which seemed to stick in her throat, she pressed open the silver doors and entered a large room paved with pure white marble, that held just a few streaks of black in its depths.
She stepped forwards, looking this way and that, to the long counters that seemed to stretch to the length of the entire place until she heard someone cough. "May I help you miss?" asked one goblin, his voice grating like sandpaper to her ears. She spun on the spot and nodded towards him.
"I - I would like to open a - an account with Gringotts." she uttered lamely, and frowned a little. Why couldn't she shake this shyness? "Key?" asked the little goblin, and Lily produced it from her pocket - a small - no, miniscule golden key that she sat on the low counter. The goblin eyed the key suspiciously, then nodded, returning it to her.
"Very well, I'll set yours near your father's in vault 714. Would you like to make a deposit?" the goblin asked and Lily took out a bag of galleons. "Yes, two hundred galleons." she said, and reached inside the bag, made from moleskin, taking all of it out by handfulls and stacking them neatly.
The goblin looked at them closely for a moment, then floated them somewhere Lily couldn't see. Miss Potter, once you return here, from now on you will need your wand, since its in a medium security vault." explained the goblin. "You can return your key to us, since you'll no longer need it." he said and took the golden key from her.
He thanked her and seemed to be dismissing her, so she thanked him and left Gringotts, going out by the silver door, flicking her eyes to the door that had the warning on it for just a moment then heading out through the bronze door that shut behind her.
