{Desk 13, Gringotts Bank}
If anyone was ever wondering whether banks in the wizarding world were faster than your bank on a Monday, I have news for you. They are not.
"Fill this form and sign at the bottom to acknowledge the terms of the loan," the teller said, and I swear I detect some kind of smug satisfaction in his voice.
'That bastard's having the time of his life making us wait, isn't he? This is already the fourth form, and why do they all lead up to the same thing?' I thought. From what I have gathered, listening to Prof. McGonagall explain the terms to Hermione at the same time.
For Muggle-borns, their tuition at Hogwarts is covered by a scholarship loan, which Gringotts provides, and the bank does not charge any interest until their seven years of education are done. After that, you are supposed to get a job and pay off the loan. For purebloods and half-bloods, the same option is available but without the seven-year reprieve from an interest climb.
'I know it's a benefit, but to call this a scholarship is a bit of a joke.' I thought as the teller brought out another form, which I can only speculate was a grin.
Before I could voice my speculation that this was harassment, another voice called out to Professor McGonagall, "Minerva, it's so nice to see you outside of the castle."
I turned around and, to be honest, I stared at her for a few moments before my eyes flicked up and away from her cleavage. She stood not too far from me, and she was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen as she stood there, completely confident in her white dress that had a deep cleavage that exposed her busty figure with an ample amount of side-boob.
...
[Adorabella Greengrass]
[4]
...
Beside her stood a girl our age, dressed in pretty green robes that brought out her eyes. She looked much older than 18, as she was quite developed in the bust department, but her name told me she would be going to the school with me.
...
[Daphne Greengrass]
[9]
...
'The fanon's favorite fap material, well after Hermione, as many people still do enjoy vanilla pairings.' I thought, checking her out while she did the same. She looked uninterested, though, as I hid my scar behind my messy hair and my clothes weren't anything to write home about.
"Lady Greengrass, a pleasure." Prof. McGonagall replied with a rather clipped tone. Clearly, the ladies don't run in the same circles. Adorabella then turned to us and introduced herself.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. A warm welcome to the wizarding world from the Ancient and Noble House of Greengrass." She offered a warm smile, though it didn't quite reach her eyes.
"Thank you. I'm Hermione Granger. A pleasure to make your acquaintance." Hermione, ever polite, was the first to respond.
"Harry Potter, thank you for the warm welcome," I replied in kind and watched their eyes widen for a brief moment, the bland look of disinterest wiped from their faces as they involuntarily leaned forward, which made my eyes flick downward toward the ample cleavage Adorabella was showing.
"Oh goodness, sorry about my candor, Mr. Potter. I didn't know that the savior of our wizarding world was among us." Adorabella said, her eyes lighting up with interest as they flicked up and down my clothes before returning to my scar, hidden behind a lock of hair. Then her questioning look turned to Prof. McGonagall, who nodded, confirming my identity.
"What do they mean by savior?" I whispered to Hermione, keeping up with my act of being a clueless idiot, kinda what Harry did throughout the story.
"How would I know?" Hermione whispered back, thinking she'd done a double-take and looked me up and down.
"And this form needs a signature at the bottom to acknowledge the terms of repayment that the bank is allowed to use in order to get the money back in case of failure or missed deadlines." The goblin grinned again as he extended a fifth form towards Hermione.
'I do not envy her,' I thought as I turned to look at Daphne, who was staring at me with an unusual intensity.
"Can I help you with anything?" I asked politely, which was apparently the right thing to say, as she smiled back and hopped closer.
"So did you actually battle a Dragon last summer?" She asked with a curious expression.
I gave her a strange look and asked, "Say what about a dragon?"
"Daphne, I told you those books are fictional, you can't believe anything you have read in those," Her mother admonished her before turning to me. "I'm sorry, Harry. During your absence from the wizarding world, a wizard has made quite a sum of money by using your name to write an adventure storyline about increasingly impossible feats."
"They are quite popular with children." She emphasized, and I nodded absentmindedly.
'I have read about this in fanon, but there was no mention of something like this in canon.'
"How much money are we talking about here?" I questioned Adorabella, whose smile widened at my question.
"Now that's a good question to ask. If you want, I can enquire about it through our family solicitors and get back to you." She winked at the end.
"Of course, a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my Lady." I extended my hand, and she placed her gloved hand in mine. I gave her knuckles a light kiss as she nodded, clearly delighted with the outcome, while Daphne gave her mother the stink eye.
"Let's go, Mother. We still need to go shopping for school. It was nice meeting you, Harry. See you at the train." Daphne said as she started walking away. Adorabella gave her a smile before she, too, turned around and walked away, her hips dancing as she moved seductively.
I watched her go for a moment, but my trance was broken by Prof. McGonagall. "Careful with Lady Greengrass, Mr. Potter. She is known to be a woman who likes chasing after affairs outside her marriage."
'Huh...if it's like that, who am I to deny her?' I thought as I shifted slightly, one advantage of wearing ill-fitting clothes was that it was pretty easy to hide my boner as improper thoughts about Adorabella appeared in my mind.
"What?" Hermione's confused shout broke me out of my daydreams.
'Wait, what did I miss?'
