Gringotts Wizarding Bank
Gringotts is the only known bank of the wizarding world and it is operated primarily by goblins. A snowy white building, near the intersection of Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley, Gringotts towers over all neighbouring shops. Customers pass through a set of bronze doors and then silver ones before entering the lobby. The main floor is paved with marble and has long counters stretching along its length. Within, Wizards and witches keep their money and other valuables in vaults that are protected by very complex and strong security measures. The vaults extend for miles under London and are accessible through rough stone passageways and then by means of magic carts that travel speedily along their tracks.[PS Ch.5] Gringotts also offers Muggle-Wizarding currency exchange.[CS Ch.4]

Edwards mother, Lily Potter II, had left him on the doorstep of Scorpius Malfoy's home and was now, 25 years later, going to be a professor at Hogwarts. either DADA or Charms. But first Edward needs to see the Goblins of Gringotts to get his money for supplies for school.

<Griphook> 'where's your key?'
<Edward> 'Here I have it' said Edward as he handed Griphook the Key
<G> 'Get in the cart' he made Edward follow him
'Vault #333' Griphook got out and opened the vault to show 100 galleons, 2 Sickles, 5 Knuts. He wached as Edward took all he could and shoved it in his moneybag
he then brought them back to the surface.
if Griphook didnt know better he would have thought Edward didnt like the goblins.

Perpetua entered Gringotts for the first time with both of her parents. She did not seem to notice all the stares and whispers from the wizards and witches that was already there. She was so used to everyone recognizing her father that it didn't even phase her anymore.
<henrietta> here is the key
without a word the goblin took the key and showed them to the vault.
<Perpetua> Mum, why do wizards employ such rubbish? Is there no other creature that can protect our family's money than this disgusting mini troll?
The goblin looked as if he wanted to say something but decided better of it. Perpetua took money out for the school year and walked out of the vault. She and her parents left without a word.

Before leaving to go back to the Leaky Cauldron, Annie escorts Emily to Gringotts to get some money for the school year. Annie's parents wouldn't let her have any because she doesn't get to go to Hogsmeade until her third year and she'll be home every holidays and can buy her supplies then.
But Emily will be staying at school every spare moment that she can. Home doesn't feel like home too much anymore. Her mother gave her the key to the family vault in case she wanted to subscribe to the Daily Prophet because then she would need some money. She had already been given the money for her supplies before they came into town.
<Goblin> 'Key, please.'
Emily handed over her key. She was glad that she wasn't here in Gringotts by herself. It scared her a lot.
<Goblin> 'What number?'
<Emily Black> 'Vault number 984.'
The goblin called another and before long both girls were seated in a little cart which zoomed along the track too quickly for the little witches to see anything. It halted at Emily's vault and she pulled a few Galleons, Sickles and Knuts into her money-bag.
The cart took them back to the surface where Emily thanked the goblin and walked quickly outdoors. That ride had made her feel slightly sick.
