Cydney stood in front of the goblins, in line to exchange muggle money into galleons. When she arrived at the front, she smiled and dug money out of her pocket. 1500 euros, to be exact. So what, daddy spoiled her? She was allowed to buy whatever she wanted, as long as he didn't have to help. Her driver had dropped her off and would come back in a few hours. Perfect.
The goblin gave her a cloth bag full of galleons. "Thank you." She smiled. The goblin sneered at her and she walked to the door about to leave. "Hmm..." She thought for a bit and then started to count her coins, just in case. |

Anthony slipped into line at Gringotts. He was being careful not be noticed, and waited patiently in line. When he got to the front of the line, he carefully pulled out a key and bag of galleons. While the goblin was about to count them, he idley scratched something into the surface. Whn the goblin looked down, he noticed what Anthony had scratched into the table. "So, your the one who wants to buy the Basalisk venom?" he asked in a barely perceptible voice. Anthony nodded his head ever so slightly. Basalisk was a class A non-tradable good, and besides that, it was as rare as anything. Anthony needed it for an... expirement. "I have the 5500 galleons here." he whispered, tapping the small bag on the table. He had casted a spell to enlarge the inside. The goblin got a greedy look in his eyes. "How bout 5800 for this vial of Basalisk venom." Anthony fumed. 5800 for 7 drops of basalisk venom??? But he calmed himself. He didn't even have 5800 galleons though. He hadn't thought, that after all the haggling they had already done, that he would change the price again! He had only brought 200 galleons just in case. He needed 100 more. "Fine," he replied, " but I need to go collect from.. some people." Anthony slipped out of the line and began looking around for someone he could discreetly steal galleons from. He saw a girl out on the steps, counting her money. Besides her was a bulging bag of money. He stepped back into the shadows of Gringotts and waited, deciding his next move.

"299 galleons...300 galleons...4 sickles and 1 knut. 300 galleons, 4 sickles and 1 knut. So I wasn't ripped off. Surprising." Cydney's blue eyes sparkled happily and her mouth twisted into a smile. "Now, where to go shopping first?" She fingered the hem of her light blue hoodie, her skinny-jean clad legs crossed. She tapped her left foot, the top of her converse high tops making soft noises on the polished floor.
"Where should I go shopping first? I need some new robes..." She bit her lip, thinking. "I wish we could just wear regular clothes in school." By regular clothes, the girl meant muggle attire. She loved to show off how fashionable she was. "Oh well...I guess I'll go to Madame Malkin's." [/size] |

Anthony was still deciding what approach to use. He had narrowed it down to one of two ways: Either he would steal it from her like a pick pocket, or he would go up to her, talk to her a bit use a fake name, and through out the day steal galleon by galleon from her. When he saw her getting up, he prepared to trail her.

Cydney opened the door to the big stone building and walked outside. She pocketed the bag of money and started to head to Madame Malkin's when she spotted Fortescue's Ice Cream. "Hm...should I get some ice cream?" Her stomach rumbled. "I'm starving...but it'll go straight to my hips." She twirled a dark curl around her finger in thought. |

Anthony saw his opportunity when she stopped between the ice cream place and Madame Malkin's. He walked by her, and looked back. He acted almost startled to see her, then he walked up to her. "Ah, is there any chance I could treat a beutiful lady to some ice cream?" he asked coyly. Even though even talking to this girl with muggle cloths burned him up, he took it in stride. He could stand anything when he needed something.

Cydney whipped around at the sound off a voice, her loose hair flying around her face. She smiled at him. "Sure." Wow, he's really cute She thought. "I'd love to." She held onto her left arm with her right. He's already wearing robes! |

((move to Fortescue's ice cream)) Anthony gestued with his arm towards the shop, and opened the door for her. "So.." he began as the door closed on both of them.

Anthony ran up the steps to Grinotts late at night. It was raining, and he pulled his hood over his face, and the opened the big double doors. There were only a few people there besides the goblins. He walked up to the goblin he had delt with before, and once against scratched idealy into the surface. The goblin didn't even bother to look down. "Do you have the money?" he said in a raspy voice. Anthony tapped the small bag. "Hmmm... only 5800 galleon? surely you could raise the price to... 6000?" the goblin said, greed in his tone. Anthony's eyes grew cold, his feature contorted into hate. The goblin recoiled as if stung. Seconds later Anthony's hand shot out from under his cloak and yanked the gobling forward by his scruff. "Now listen here you piece of mud," Anthony said calmly, his eyes boring into his hapless victem. "You are going to take 5000 for the basalisk venom, understand?" his grip tightened, and the goblin started to struggle, but Anthony's grip was steel. The goblin slowly nodded and reached under his cloak and pulled out the vial. With shaking fingers, he placed it on the table. Anthony grabbed his money bag and up ended it on the table, leaving about 800 in it. He grabbed the vial, checked it briefly, then turned on his heel and left the bank.
