...I agree with Orion, Duck Tales is one of the sweetest childhood memories I have (I'll be 24 this August), and it's a shame that younger-than-us people haven't had the chance to see and appreciate it.

That said, your story made my laugh, I liked it very much. ^__^

Thank you. I've had a tough day and a new story was just what I needed.

It's an interesting idea, although I'm a bit of a feminist and Tracey's character clashes with that a bit - she's forceful, but no feminist because so she seems to be throwing herself at a rich and powerful man.

That said, that's no barrier to selling something, so I suppose it's a moral criticism rather than a criticism of your writing.

You write really strong women, but sometimes I wish you didn't make Harry quite so strong, or so attractive or so rich, and turn all those stereotypes on their heads.

I suppose I'm suggesting this because I'm in literary theory mode, and if I had the time, or your talent with a pen (or keyboard now) that is an 'experiment' that I'd like to see the result of.

I always like the 'underused' characters interacting with Harry...

And I've always wanted a money bin of my very own, too...

A fun little tale. Hope to see you continue some of your other stories sometime in the (near!) future!

I love all the sliding down the giant piles of money.

That was pretty great, semi-frequent errors or no. The idea of Harry turning Gringotts into a hole in the ground is classic. Also, a Harry who is good with children is utterly adorable. Cheers, and I hope your living situation is getting not sucky. Landladies sound evil.

Heh. Cute short piece. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Welcome back. Love, absolutely love the Duck Tales reference. I'm not sure anyone younger than or 17 or 18 will have any memory of it, unfortunately, but Scrooge swimming in the gold is a great childhood memory.

Well, I thought the best bit was the idea of being able to take over Gringotts and exact some revenge. As we now know the idea of breaking out of Gringotts has some basis in cannon; not that that is too critical. Overall it was fun but not much more. Even your lessor work is always of interest so please don't stop. Thanks. W.

Very cute. I couldn't mention the magnitude of my excitement when I saw you had posted something!

It's a bloody shame you won't continue this one. I liked it, and the idea of a wizarding world without Gringott's just bowls me over. Your Tracey showed signs of amusement value as well. Ah well, it's you who write this so it's of course your call. Thanks for what you did.

It was silly and fun and I really appreciate your posting it. I hope that more of this random drabble will find it's way to here. Thanks for the chuckles.

A good idea and start. I wish some of these drabbles and ideas that you have actually become a story. oh well.

Though I have read many stories with many different goblin names, Evilgit is clearly and by far the best.
