time at hogwarts

On the way to Gringotts, Magos curiously asked Jessamin Weplington why he sold half of the shop for Galleons and half for pounds. Why couldn't he sell all the Galleons and exchange it for Muggle coins himself?

Hearing this, Jessamine Weplington gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how those money-grubbing goblins exchange Muggle coins?"

"Isn't it one for six?" he asked doubtfully.

"One for six! Ha, it's one for three. I think if they weren't afraid that all wizards would boycott them, they could have done one for one or six for one." Jessamine Weplinton looked at it with disgust. Said the goblin who was standing in front of Gringotts to welcome guests.After hearing this, Magos had a new understanding of the goblin in front of him... Not only was he greedy for money, but he also had a dark heart...

"Good afternoon, sir, how can I help you?" Magos walked up to the counter and a goblin asked.Jessamine Weplington sat in the lounge far away and waited.

"I am Magos Will, and I need to withdraw 3000 Galleons from my vault."

"Have you brought your keys? Sir."

"Here you go, wait a minute." Magos took out another small purse from the inside of his clothes, took out all three items inside, and found a small gold key.Hand the key to the goblin in front of you and put the wrapped snake fangs, round eggs and parchment back into the purse.

"Do you need someone to go down with you or do you need to wait here for a while?"

"Wait a moment." Although I had the idea of ​​going down to see if I could see the fire dragon, I thought about it and let it go. It felt like it would be impolite to leave Jessamin Weplington there alone.

"Okay, sir, please wait in the rest area for a moment. Griphook, go and take out 3000 gold galleons from this gentleman's vault." The goblin on the counter called a goblin whose name Magos thought was familiar. Take galleons.Griphook took the key handed over by the goblin on the counter, bowed to Magos and quickly walked towards the door on the side of the counter.

"Can I ask you why you insist on Muggle coins?" Magos, who was waiting in the lounge and sat next to Jessamin Weplinton, asked curiously.

Jessamine Weplinton glanced at Magos and said nothing. Just when Magos thought he would refuse, a deep voice sounded.

"I was born in a pure-blood wizard family. At that time, although our family had begun to decline, we still had antiques and the like passed down. In the eyes of outsiders, we still lived a decent life, and we didn't need to sell our house like I do now. To make ends meet, my father is the old man in the photo you see at the door of the store. He has always been proud of his pure blood, and he has always instilled this idea in me. I grew up in education until school age. Like most children from pure-blood wizarding families, I was sorted into Slytherin. My father was very happy when he found out, and of course, I was also very excited at that time." Magos felt that something was wrong with Jessamin Weplinton's tone and raised his head to glance at him. A touch of ridicule could be seen in his eyes.

"At that time, I was arrogant and arrogant. Except for my classmates in Slytherin, I looked down on anyone in other houses, even if some people were much better than me. It was not until my second year that I made my first friend-Ray Gulus Black.”

"Regulus Black?" Magos couldn't help but exclaimed.

Jessamine Weplington, whose thoughts were interrupted, raised his head and glanced at him. "Have you heard of him too? It's incredible. I think many classmates at the time have forgotten him. He is the youngest of the Black family. I had the best relationship with him at that time, and he also had an older brother—— Sirius Orion Black. One thing is very surprising. You have to know that pure-blood wizards are generally in Slytherin, especially those families that have been passed down for a long time. The Black family has never been an exception in other houses, but Lei Sirius, the elder brother of Sirius, was actually sorted into Gryffindor. I was shocked when I found out about it. Naturally, Sirius had a bad relationship with everyone in his family, including Regulus. Until later, Black …The mysterious man rose up. Regulus and I both admired him and joined the ranks of the Death Eaters. My father, for the first time, appreciated my actions like never before after learning about the mysterious man’s ideas. Then our whole family On the side of the mysterious man.”

At this time, the goblin Griphook came over and said respectfully to Magos, "Sir, your Galleons have been picked up. Please go to the counter to verify."

"Ah, oh, okay." Magos, who was listening in rapt attention, immediately realized that he was here to withdraw money.

"Mr. Weplington, let's go over first and give you the galleons. If you are willing, I am very much looking forward to what happens next."

Jessamin Weplinton was silent after hearing Magos' words. He didn't know how to answer.He has been holding these things in his heart for many years. He has never wanted to tell others about them. He did not know how to tell them today. Maybe it was because he saw Magos was still a child and had some things.

Xi probably just said that because he didn’t understand.But I feel better after saying that.

Looking at the silent Jessamine Weplington, Magos didn't take it seriously and followed Griphook back to the previous counter.The counter is now filled with sparkling gold Galleons, and wizards and goblins passing by will always glance at it involuntarily.The goblin behind the counter was already standing nearby. Perhaps because it felt too dazzling, he cast a spell on the surroundings so that no one around him could see inside.Magos looked at the rows of gold galleons in front of him, and he deeply understood what it means to make money move people's hearts.Just for this visual effect, McGoss gave these fairies 120 thumbs up.

"Please check, each row is fifty gold galleons, there are sixty rows in total, and you have ninety-one thousand galleons, 52 silver siko, and 33 copper nat left in your vault."

"You are so rich..." After listening to the goblin's words, Jessamine Weplinton, who was standing next to Magos, recovered from the visual impact of seeing a lot of galleons and stared at him. After a while, he said this in shock.Magos gave him a shy smile...

I no longer paid attention to Jessamine Weplington, who was somewhat doubtful about life. "Please help me put these galleons into two bags, one with 2000 galleons and the other with 1000 galleons."

"I'm happy to help you." The goblin said and took out two large bags from the back of the cabinet.

"Um, are you going to use this ordinary bag to put 2000 and 1000 gold?" Magos looked at the bag in the goblin's hand with some uncertainty.

"Of course." The goblin opened the bag and prepared to put the gold coins as a matter of course.

"Wait, forget it, let's use my own money bag. Can't you prepare a magic bag for your big customers? You use such an ordinary bag." Magos complained and looked at the goblin in front of him.

"If you are willing to pay ten times the price outside, I think they are willing to give you one." Jessamine Weplinton woke up from his doubts about life, and mocked the goblin viciously.

"Everything requires payment of money. Goblins never do business at a loss. If you are willing to pay Galleons, we will take out the magic pocket." Hearing Jessamine Weplington's words, the goblin was not annoyed, on the contrary. Happy to promote their stuff.

"Forget it, I have pockets. Mr. Weplington, have you brought them?"

"Don't worry, I expected them to do this when I came here." Jessamine Weplington took out the pocket in his arms and said.

Magos and Weplinton handed their respective purses to the goblin. "Mr. Weplington's contains 2000 galleons."

"Okay, sir." The goblin was a little regretful that he didn't sell the magic pocket, but he still carried out the work at hand very professionally.Magos was speechless at these goblins who recognized money but not people. He didn't know what they would choose if someone were to buy their own lives with gold galleons in front of them.

"Shall I come over to give you pounds, which are Muggle coins, tomorrow, or will you go back with me to get them?" Magos asked while the goblin was putting the money away.

"I'd better go back with you. To be honest, Muggle coins are of urgent use to me." Jessamine Weplington said a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I can understand it, then would you mind continuing to tell me your story on the way back? I know nothing about the world of magic, and I am very curious about your era."

"...If you are really interested, to be honest, I don't recommend you to learn about what happened at that time. It was very dark, and it is not something you, a child, can imagine. What's more, the mysterious man has failed and escaped. "Jessamine Weplington seemed to have entered memories, without focus.

"You can imagine me as an adult, and do you think that if the mysterious man really disappeared completely, wizards today would still be so afraid of saying his name?"

"Adult? If that's the case, I guess I won't tell you my experience." He paused. "As for the mysterious man, whether he will come back again has nothing to do with me. The last war I My whole family has given everything. Now I just want to go to the end of my life with her..."

"she?"

"Yes, her, don't you want to know my story? She is in it. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am now." Jessamine Weplington smiled in front of Magos for the first time.

"I'm looking forward to it, Uncle Weplinton, do you mind if I call you that?"

Jessamine Weplinton seemed startled by Magos's title. "I love it when you call me that," he said softly.

"Two gentlemen, all the galleons have been put into your wallets. I hope you are satisfied with our service." The goblin lowered his hands and bowed deeply.
