Hogwarts Survival Sim

[Dear Ethan,

I have received your gift, it is the biggest cake I have ever seen, and the golden Nimbus 2000 is also great, I love it very much.

Now I'm staying at Ron's house.Something very strange happened on my birthday. I really need your help. We can talk about it when we meet.

We're going to London next Wednesday to buy textbooks for the new term, and so is Hermione, so we can meet up in Diagon Alley that day.

Hope you are well in France.

Your friend,

Harry]

Putting the letter away, Ethan lay comfortably on his big bed.

He has been back to England for two days, and he doesn't know if the poor owl that delivered the letter to him missed him on the plane.

"Next Wednesday? It looks like we have to meet our dear Defense Against the Dark Arts professor again."

Ethan muttered.

"There is also Tom Riddle's diary. The first Horcrux is about to appear. I still have to be careful. Whether it is the basilisk or the diary, it is something that can kill me."

"You still have to make some preparations in advance." He reluctantly got up from the warm bed, then took out a notebook and started writing.

"I really hope I can give young Mr. Tom Riddle a surprise..."

…………

The next Wednesday came quickly with Ethan's anticipation.

On this day, Ethan got up from bed very early. After taking care of everything, he came to the fireplace at home.

"What a nostalgic way to travel! Fortunately, even if you teleport me to Knockturn Alley, I won't be afraid anymore."

He sprinkled a handful of silver powder into the fire, and the flames suddenly rose and turned into an emerald green color.

"Diagon Alley!"

Ethan walked into the warm fire, and after a rapid spin, he felt his feet touch the ground.

Stepping out of the fireplace, he had seen the familiar white marble building - Gringotts.

"Gallon." Walking into the wizard bank, Ethan couldn't help but think of the goblin he met in France.

"I want to withdraw money from Ethan Granger's vault."

"Ethan Granger..." In front of the counter was an old goblin wearing glasses. He flipped through the account book in his hand, then raised his head and said slowly:

"Mr. Ethan Granger, a wizard named Taylor Valentine opened a new vault under your name and stored the key here. The note is research funds. You can receive it now, we need Register.”

"Uh, okay, then please give me the key." Ethan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react.

After a series of records, the goblin put away the thick record book and put a flattering smile on his face:

"So, Mr. Granger, which vault are you going to?"

"Just go to the new one." Ethan said casually, "What's your name?"

"My name is Jinhuan, sir."

Ethan nodded, and under the leadership of Jin Huan, he came to the vault opened for him by Master Valentine.

Although Ethan was not short of money, he couldn't help but take a breath when the vault was opened.At the same time, he also understood why Jin Huan showed such a posture.

There was not a single silver sik or bronze nat in the treasury, only mountains of gold galleons.And among the piles of gold mountains, there was a note, which looked very eye-catching.

[This is the reward for your research results and academic research funds. Use it with confidence, the guys from the Alchemy School are not short of money.

Tyler Valentine]

Looking at this note, Ethan shook his head in confusion.No matter what, so many gold coins are too exaggerated.

He took out a bag from his arms, which was a parting gift given to him by Nico Flamel. It was added with an alchemical magic circle to increase the volume. It was much more effective than the Traceless Stretching Spell. The most important thing was that it was not illegal.

Then he counted two hundred coins from the gold mountain and put them into his pocket. According to his estimation, even including the alchemy experiments, the money should be enough for his expenses this year.

"Okay, let's go."

The golden ring took him back to the hall of Gringotts.

Just as he was about to leave, a couple caught his attention.

They were wearing Muggle clothes and holding brand new pounds in their hands, standing awkwardly on one side of the counter.The goblin opposite them looked impatient, mumbling something.

Ethan stopped, turned around and walked in their direction.In fact, he already had some guesses about their identities.

And when he got closer, he became even more convinced of what he was thinking.

"Hello, what happened?"

Hearing someone speaking, the couple turned around quickly.The man said with some embarrassment:

"Hello, sir, we would like to exchange pounds for some currency, but this... this teller doesn't seem to understand what we are saying."

"Is that so," Ethan said expressionlessly towards Jin Huan who was following him, "I think the goblins of Gringotts should all know English, or is teasing guests a tradition here?"

Feeling the anger in the words, Jin Huan bowed deeply:

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, guests. I will serve you next." After saying that, he glared at the goblin behind the counter, scaring it into confusion.

Accompanied by Ethan, they successfully exchanged some galleons and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, sir. We don't know what we would do without your help."

"Well," Ethan said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I am a student at Hogwarts, starting my second year of school. My name is Ethan, Ethan Granger."

"Huh? I thought..." The couple looked a little surprised.

"Wait a minute, Ethan Granger, the second year of school has started..." They looked at each other and suddenly realized something.

"I think you should know our daughter Hermione. She often talks about you to us." The Grangers looked at Ethan curiously. This name was already familiar to them.

Feeling their gazes, Ethan suddenly felt a little nervous, and his words were no longer as powerful as before.

"Yes, Hermione and I are very good friends. In fact, I recognized my uncle and aunt just now. After all, Hermione looks a lot like you."

The Grangers became interested immediately and pulled Ethan to talk to him.

"Ethan, why are you here alone, where are your parents?"

"My parents went abroad to travel, and they seem to be in Spain now. They feel more at ease with me."

"Are they wizards too?"

"Yes, they are all wizards, but my mother, like Hermione, comes from a non-wizard family. And I am also used to living on the ordinary side."

Just as Ethan and the Grangers were chatting animatedly, Hermione's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Dad, Mom, Ethan? Why are you together?"
