Deep beneath the surface of the Earth, in a grand chamber adorned with the gleam of gold and the glow of precious gems, the King of the Goblin Nation sat upon his imposing throne. The flickering light of torches cast shadows that danced across the intricate carvings of the cavernous walls. Surrounding him were the elite guards of the Goblin Kingdom, armed and vigilant.

Seated on a lower platform were the directors of Gringotts banks from various locations across the globe. Some were the King's offspring, and others were trusted and loyal followers, each distinguished by their ornate armor and the symbols of their respective banks. The atmosphere in the chamber was tense, a reflection of the news that had reached even this subterranean realm.

The King's eyes, sharp and piercing, surveyed the assembly. "Today, we gather to address a grave matter, one that strikes at the very core of our nation." His voice echoed through the chamber, a malicious smirk forming across his face. "And that how we can exploit this situation to make the most profit..."

The new director of the London division, visibly excited, knelt before the King. "Your Majesty, we have suffered a grievous loss! The theft in our London bank resulted in the death of my 'poor' 'innocent' brother..."

Suddenly, a goblin the crowd shouted. "Yes! I say we wring those wand wavers dry!"

A low growl rumbled through the gathering, a collective expression of joy and greed. One of them might have died, but they didn't care one bit. To a goblin, family is only a hinderance on the road to more gold.

But of course, these goblins certainly appreciate their brother's sacrifice. After all, his death meant a huge profit for them.

There's a well known saying in the Goblin Nation that said, 'Blood ties prove valuable only when fortune is left behind,' and truly a monumental fortune was left behind this time around.

The King's gaze intensified. "Speak, Director. Tell us the details of this theft and the demise of my kin."

The London director recounted the events, detailing the intrusion, the stolen treasures, and the 'tragic' loss of his predecessor during the confrontation with the thieves. The King's expression grew greedier and greedier with every word, his grip tightening on the arms of his throne.

What was surprising was how much was stolen. Although Peter and MJ only took the cup, somehow, a huge fortune was stolen. It was almost as if others, perhaps the new director, looted the place after them...

"The Wizards dare to spill goblin blood and desecrate our hallowed halls," the King declared, his voice resonating with fury. "We shall not let this affront go unanswered."

A heated discussion ensued, echoing through the cavern as goblins debated the appropriate response. The King, however, silenced them with a raised hand. "War is upon us. The Wizards have declared it with their actions, and we shall answer in kind."

The goblins erupted into cheers, their enthusiasm for conflict evident. The King's eyes gleamed with a fierce determination and greed. "We will show the Wizards the consequences of their actions. The goblin nation will rise, and they shall tremble before our might."

The directors, including the grieving London representative, bowed in allegiance. "For the Prince!" they chanted in unison, their voices echoing through the chamber.

MJ simply shrugged and answered, "Just for fun..."

The wandmaker shrugged and said, "Business is business," before beckoning Peter and MJ forward and measured their hands carefully.

After a few thoughtful nods, he disappeared into the shelves and returned with a box and placed it down in front of Peter. "We'll start with you. This wand is made of Ash, twelve inches, and contains a Dragon heartstring core. Give it a wave."

Picking up the wand, Peter felt as though nothing happened. After all, he didn't have a magical core like the wizards in this world. Testing something out, Peter pushed a small sliver of Eldritch energy into the wand and instantly, a cascade of silver sparks erupted from the tip.

'I guess we can use any wand...' Peter thought as he telepathically informed MJ of his findings.

Ollivander's eyes sparkled with approval. "An excellent fit! Ash wands are known for choosing only one master so don't go passing it down. Now, for you, my dear," he said, turning to MJ.

MJ stepped forward, and Ollivander repeated the process, measuring her and selecting a wand. "Vine wood, ten inches, with a unicorn hair core. Give it a try."

As MJ waved the wand, a soft glow surrounded her. The room seemed to respond to her magic. Ollivander nodded in satisfaction. "A fine choice. Vine wood wands often favor those with a bold spirit." He said before calculating the price. "Two wands... That will be 18 Galleons."

Exiting Ollivanders after paying with some money taken during their trip to Gringotts, Peter and MJ marveled at their wands, playing with them like children, which evoked some odd stares from the passing citizens.

Making their way through the winding streets, they visited random shops until they finally found a zoo, which peaked their interest. The moment they stepped inside, they were greeted by all sorts of exotic sounds and the enchanting sights of creatures unlike any they had seen before.

In one enclosure, a majestic Hippogriff bowed to visitors, its wings unfurled. Next, they wandered into a section filled with mischievous Nifflers, creatures with a penchant for shiny objects. One of them scampered toward MJ, attempting to snatch the wedding ring she wore. But a glare from Peter sent them all rushing away with their tails between their legs.

As they strolled through the zoo, hand in hand, they encountered a Thestral, a magnificent and mysterious creature visible only to those who had witnessed death. Its large, bat-like wings and skeletal appearance were both eerie and fascinating.

Only a few people paid any attention to this exhibit, which was probably a good thing. Though it made Peter and MJ wonder just how they witnessed death? Was it natural, accidental, or were they murderers out for a middays stroll at the local zoo?

Either way, Peter and MJ didn't plan on working today, so they simply moved on to the next exhibit.

...

Exiting the zoo after fully exploring the place, Dragons and all, Peter turned to MJ and whined like a petulant child, "Oh, come on... Can't we take a dragon back with us?"

MJ let out an annoyed sigh, "Where are we supposed to keep a giant winged lizard? We live in New York, we barely have enough room in our house as it is..."

"I can-" Peter spoke, but before he could say much, the sound of lightning crashing filled the air and the arguing couple found themselves surrounded by wizards. And at the head of them stood Dumbledore, a new unfamiliar wand in his hand.
