5 Goblins know how to have a good time
I have been training with the goblins for a couple of days now and I can say for a fact that they grow on you. Argot was the main goblin that was teaching me he was a funny little guy always having to say the last word.
-time skip one week---
I have been training like crazy, literally, like crazy not only in breaking and forming wards but also close quarter combat it seems Argot and the rest of the Goblins have taken a liking to me. Currently, I'm in a bit of a situation my damn kleptomania got the better of me once I saw Argots's sword.
"COME HERE, YOU FILTHY WIZARD!" he yelled chasing behind me
"Argot I'm sorry! It's just a great sword!" I yelled back
"I know it is! Give it back you thief!" He said picking up speed
Just as I was about to turn the corner two more goblins jumped at me from the shadows, daggers in hand already in a striking motion.
Quickly pulling out 'my' sword I parried one of the goblin's strikes *shinng* stepping back after the parry the goblin headed for his ally. *fwooh* he did a beautiful spin mid-fall his nimble, small body was like a dancer navigating through the stage.
I was now surrounded.
Haha fuck.
"Hehe sorry Argot is this your sword seems like you dropped it somewhere?" I said with an honest smile
"Theif," Argot mumbled and took back his sword
"This was the tenth time since we started this training, you do know you have no chance at escaping right?" He asked
Argot seemed genuinely curious about my answer.
"I have Kleptomania, you probably aren't familiar with the term but it's a disorder that compels the person to steal things. I honestly can't help it but it's not like I don't like to steal~" I replied with a sly grin
"Harharhar, that is interesting maybe we goblins have something like that." He spoke barking out in laughter
"No you people are just greedy," I said with my best deadpan like face
"Brat!" he snarled then turned away walking back to the training room
Goblins sure know how to have fun.
-time skip one week--
Another week has passed and I have gotten decently good at ward creating and breaking, my charms and transfiguration practice did not stop of course. These past two weeks have been some of the best weeks of my life, magic made me feel so free so alive.
I could now cast all of the spells I have learned at Hogwarts perfectly, my favorite so far is Confringo, Diffindo, Avis I can use this spell to combat the killing curse since they are birds therefore solid objects I also like to pair the spell with Engorgio, Incendio, and Serpensortia I figured out I'm still a parseltongue so this spell is perfect for me and again I can link it with Engorgio. Of course, I also enjoy the protego spell but since I have a complete mastery of it I've been trying to make variations.
For transfiguration, I like to create spikes and golems mainly. I know not a very thief-like repertoire but I still need to protect myself.
--One month later ---
It's been one long month since I have begun training with the Goblins, today was the day I leave today was the day I really embark on the path of thievery in this new world. My and Argot are now basically friends, and I could say the same for the rest of the Goblins.
"Before you leave Harry I want to offer you something," Argot said in a serious tone
"Oh~ am I getting your sword!" I replied with a sly grin
"NO STOP ASKING! I want to allow you the opportunity to accept the mark of Goblins, it is a mark that symbolizes that you are held in high esteem by us and if shown to other banks the goblins would respect you and accommodate you as best as they can." Argot said calmly but I could tell it was a big deal
"Of course, I would accept it why wouldn't I?" I asked
"Because the process is painful more painful than a simple tattoo," Argot replied
"Haha okay, that's no issue let's get this show on the road," I replied
We left to go toward the Goblin living area under Gringotts, a shaman was waiting for us there. I was instructed to gently lay down on the bed.
She chanted in front of my bare chest, "Wi vikculi xua su uaqu squoci, xuaqu rsesar vokk ci rguvm vosg sgi lequj. Mex xuaqu vemb rnokk ckuub emb teaksr fquuv kequfi." (we welcome you into our tribe, your status will be shown with the mark, may your wand spill blood and vaults grow bigger.)
I could feel the mark being etched into my skin right above my upper chest area, it hurt so much my voice left me I couldn't even scream. The pain and agony I felt were like nothing I have ever dealt with before, I would rather be rammed by another truck than deal with this.
It felt like an eternity, eventually, the pain stopped and I slowly propped my body up.
"Hahh hahh that was fucking horrible!" I bit out at Argot
"I told you Harry didn't I?" he replied with a grin
"Yeah I guess you did," I replied my chest still hurt but the pain was going away quickly
[the next day]
I left early for France in the morning, as soon as I got to customs I handed in my papers, luckily there were no lines today.
"So Mr.Sparrow what's the nature of your visit?" The customs man asked me
"Sightseeing and visiting some friends," I replied smoothly
"Ahaha well France is a nice place to visit, take care, Mr. Sparrow," he said with a friendly smile
It's funny how broken this thief's aura is, the guy just trusted everything I said.
I went back to the cafe I sat at before and decided to check my stats.
[Status:
Name: Harry James Potter
Race: Human (Magical)
Hp: 100/100
Mp:5000/5000
Strength: average human

My stats are looking impressive so far, I want everything to be high human levels though.
Now onto the shop, it's been a month so I wonder what has been added.

New random spell-100 fp
Knowledge in a random subject- 200 fp

Snake body- 500 fp
|_ allows user to move like a sake
Balance: 2,810
New items will be added each month!]
Holy shit! I guess the news spread far about my escape. I quickly bought the most optimal items such as sticky fingers, snake body, and animagus potion. All of that cost 2,800 fp leaving me only 10 fp left. It was worth it though sticky fingers helps with pickpocketing and I can steal wands with a 100% success rate, because of this I can easily steal the elder wand even though it won't be won in a duel so I can't use it I'd rather have it as a trophy anyways.
I walked to the nearest bank and saw the goblins working there. I needed a safe place to drink my potion so naturally, I'm going to try out my new mark.
"Hello, can you bring the head goblin out here?" I asked quietly to the nearest teller
Before he could snap back something rude I pulled down the top half of my shirt so only the Goblin could see. I could see his eyes widen.
"Right away sir would you like to wait in a meeting room?" He asked cordially
"Yes please, what Is your name?" I asked
"Gargrat is my name. Please this way wizard," he replied
Soon another Goblin entered.
"My name is Kraggor I am the head Goblin here, may I ask the esteemed guest's name?" Kraggor asked cordially
"Harry Potter," I replied calmly
Both Goblins seemed to shut down for a second before the head Goblin started laughing hysterically.
"HARAHARHAR! You are an interesting wizard Lord Potter. How may I help you today." He asked
"I need a room to turn into my animagus form," I replied
"Of course right this way." Kraggor replied and lead me to a big open area
"This should be good enough." The goblin said
"Yeah probably," I replied downing the potion in one swift movement
I could feel my body growing, slimming but expanding, it was a weird sensation, to say the least.
I was about to turn to the Goblins when Kraggor shouted, "Don't look this way! You are a Basilisk!"
Wow. Just wow. I'm a freaking Basilisk! That's wicked! But also sucks because I can't sneak around like this. I seemed to be about as big as the one harry slew in his second year.
"It's extremely rare for a wizard to take a magical beasts form much less a basilisk." Kraggor said below me
While the goblins where in awe I was getting used to my new from, it felt strange not having feet and even stranger slithering around, I could feel the power this form carried and it was honestly astounding, one look and I could kill someone, one bite and they die unless a Phoenix is nearby, I could feel my tough scales, and my sharp teeth, a true apex predator my animagus form was.
I slithered around a bit before leaving, tomorrow is a big day after all.
[The next day]
-narrator pov --
Harry Potter woke up early in the day, the ethereal golden beams of the sun peeked through his windows, Harry's eyes seemed to glow a bright dark green, as he looked out the windows he gently propped his palm onto his chin.
'It's time to steal my first painting in this world~' Harry thought. His face showed a sickening grin, and his green eyes glowed with greed.
-end-
AN: so it may seem like I'm rushing things I am partially because I want to get to the story. I don't like dragged out training. some might think the animagus potion came too early I don't think so, most people like to drag out the whole leaf and tongue thing but I didn't want to edge people with it just sitting there in the shop. and basilisk as an animagus is rarely ever used, people like using dragons or other creatures but I feel as a parsletounge this would be better. Also some might think the fame points are low they really aren't jk Rowling has been quoted saying there is about 3k wizards in all of Britain and Ireland. I'm still trying to work lit fare prices of things. and I'm assuming other counties have heard.
