Only A Look

Chapter Five

Moving

Bill was bustling around the Burrow much like the years he was at Hogwarts, and they were getting ready to leave for King's Cross. It seemed that he had become spoiled. All those years of living in one place. It was like everything he owned was covered in sand. As he shook the sand out of his dress robes, he noticed the time and began throwing everything into his trunks. All of the noise, and unorganized packing, was driving his mother nuts!

"Bill! Will you get a move on! Your trainee's tour gets done in fifteen minutes, and according to your itinerary you have a 'Get to Know Each Other' Lunch right after!" bellowed Mrs. Weasley.

"I'm almost done Mum!" Bill shouted back, as he threw his last few things into the trunks. He quickly piled all his luggage together, and sent it (magically) down to his new place. He was excited to see this place. It was being provided by the Ministry, so Bill could live with his trainee, as was customary. Even the name was interesting, "La Rosa de Oro". It translated to "the Rose of Gold" or "The Golden Rose", which ever you preferred. Well, Bill thought, as least it'll be nice. His supervisor had sent over the final orders and the itinerary yesterday, but no info on the trainee. Bill rushed downstairs to wish everyone a good term, and that he would talk to them soon. In all this commotion, Bill wasn't even thinking of the blonde who had caught his eye. After, saying his good-byes Bill took one last look around the kitchen, into the faces of his family and friends, and he disapparated to his new home to throw on clean robes, and then he headed off to meet this new trainee. I can't believe they didn't tell me any information on this person, Bill thought. That cannot be a good thing.

He soon found himself in front of "El Banco de Gringots." He knew this was it, and made a mental note to put a charm on him to be able to speak and understand Spanish. With this thought, he stepped inside. The bank looked no different here than it did any of the others branches he had visited. The same white marble, the same rude goblins, and only the language changed.

"Hola! You must be el Senor Weasley," someone said behind him. Bill whipped around to see a very small man smiling up at him.

"Yes, I am Bill Weasley," he responded, and stuck out his hand. The little man shook it and replied.

"Con mucho gusto. It is very nice to meet you. Well, I suppose you are wondering why you are here exactly? Oh! Dios mio!, lo siento, I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself! I am Juan Zitz, I am the liason between the Spanish ministry and these goblins. The most disgraceful manners."

"Uh, er…Sir, I was just wondering what you could tell me about my new recruit?" Bill interrupted.

"Oh! Of course! She is from America, and graduated from the Salem Witches Institute."

"What?!? She! There has never been any female charm breakers at Gringots before! AND she's American? Good Lord! Help me please!"

"Senor! Don't worry she is very intelligent, and she will be a great Breaker! Ah, here she comes now."
