Harry Potter and the Beginning: Azkaban
Chapter 26: Turbulence in Gringotts
After a moment, Hagrid looked down at Harry and reminded him:
"Okay, Harry, stop looking. We still have a lot of things to do. I'll bring you here when I have the chance."
Then, Hagrid turned his head slightly and said to Meghan beside Harry:
"Ms. Megan, we need to go to Gringotts to get some money, what about you!"
It's obvious that Hagrid's words meant to get Megan away, but he didn't say it so clearly!
Of course Megan understood, but he thought about it and decided that it would be better to be honest during the school period.
So Megan pretended not to understand and agreed with a smile.
"That's just on the way. I also need to go to Gringotts to exchange some gold Galleons. Do you mind if we go together?"
Hagrid couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He went to Gringotts for a purpose, not just to withdraw money.
But before Hagrid could say anything, Harry said excitedly:
"Ms. Megan, of course, it's my pleasure!"
"Ugh!"
Hagrid sighed heavily. What a sin! He didn't want Harry to have too much contact with Meghan.
Although Hagrid looks clumsy and stupid, he is actually very smart!
At this time, Hagrid also clearly felt that Megan was not as harmless as she seemed, and seemed to be hiding something.
Megan ignored Hagrid's thoughts and grinned at him, saying:
"Mr. Hagrid, please lead the way!"
"Ugh!"
Hagrid sighed again, shook his head helplessly, said nothing more, and strode forward.
After turning two corners, the group of four came to a fork in the road, where stood a peculiarly shaped and very imposing white building.
Below the building, in front of the gleaming bronze, stood two short men with Mediterranean hair styles, pointed ears, wrinkled faces, goatees, and big bellies.
A children's version of a suit, paired with shiny leather shoes, looks a bit funny.
That’s right, this is Gringotts’ guard, the goblin.
Goblins are a kind of magical creatures. They are very greedy and shrewd, and they control most of the wealth in the wizarding world. This is a bit similar to the goblins among Muggles.
After arriving here, Hagrid stopped, pointed at the white building, and introduced:
"Well, here we are. This is the only bank in the British wizarding world. It is run by goblins."
Seeing everyone coming, the two fairies at the door bowed and saluted, extending their hands and saying:
"Welcome to Gringotts. How may I help you?"
Harry also bowed and explained with a smile:
"Hello, we are here to withdraw money."
Hagrid frowned when he saw it and reminded:
"Harry, there's no need to be polite to them. Goblins have betrayed humans before. Although they are smart, they are not the best of friends."
After hearing this, Harry nodded awkwardly.
"Okay, Mr. Hagrid, I understand."
After passing through the bronze gate, everyone walked about ten meters and arrived at the second silver gate.
Looking at the silver metal door, Megan raised her eyebrows and felt a breath of richness coming towards her. It was so luxurious!
Harry noticed the small words carved on the door: enter, stranger, but take heed.
of what awaits the sin of greed.
……
Hagrid shrugged and reminded:
"This place is strictly managed and very safe. No one would rob here unless they are crazy."
Harry nodded repeatedly as he listened, while Meghan on the side showed a meaningful smile with a hint of greed in her eyes.
Megan firmly believes that as long as the hoe is used well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. If he didn't want to cause trouble now, he would dig it for you immediately.
After passing through the second door, Megan saw long counters on both sides of the hall, with several goblins sitting behind each counter.
It seemed that these goblins were very busy, their hands were constantly busy, some were counting accounts, some were carrying heavy things, some were checking jewelry.
At the same time, there were many other wizards walking back and forth in the hall, seemingly handling some business.
Hagrid didn't hesitate and took Megan and the others straight to the largest counter in the middle.
After arriving at the counter, Megan found that the counter was a bit high, at least taller than her own height. Even a big guy like Hagrid could only show his upper body.
"cough!"
Hagrid arrived at the counter, coughed lightly, and stated his purpose.
"Mr. Harry Potter wants to withdraw some money, and this Ms. Megan Heron wants to..."
Hagrid was stuck. He didn't know if Megan had ever deposited money here.
Megan smiled and added:
"I'm here to exchange for gold Galleons."
"Okay, I know!"
As he spoke, the goblin leaned over the counter and looked down.
After seeing Harry and the others, the fairy first asked Meghan:
"Ms. Megan Helen, how many gold Galleons would you like to exchange?"
Looking at the goblin above the counter, Megan narrowed his eyes. He didn't like this condescending way of talking.
However, it was obviously not suitable to make trouble now. Megan resisted the urge to beat someone up, reached out and took out a gold brick weighing one pound from her arms, and said:
"It's not much, just exchange this much first!"
The fairy looked at the gold brick Megan took out, twitched her mouth, narrowed her eyes, and said apologetically:
"Ms. Megan, I'm very sorry, I have to tell you the bad news. We can only exchange 3000 gold galleons at a time..."
This is not directed at Megan, but it is true. The number of gold Galleons that anyone can redeem is limited. If you want to redeem it again now, you can only wait until next month.
However, Megan disagreed. Since you wouldn't listen even after she explained it to you nicely, she could only use her own method.
Megan simply bent her legs, pushed hard, and jumped up.
Then, Megan slammed the gold brick in her hand hard on the table.
"Oh!"
After a loud bang, the entire table began to shake, making strange "cracking" sounds.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the vines under the table being broken one by one, and finally with a loud "boom", the table fell apart under the heavy load.
After a moment, the goblin crawled up from the ground, his face was pale, and he was obviously frightened.
It was a close call just now, Megan almost hit him on the head with the gold brick.
Because, what Megan did was not robbery. To put it bluntly, she just came to exchange money, but she just had a bad temper.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic will not target Megan because of this matter.
Fearing that Megan would get too excited and do something bad, the fairy finally compromised.
"Ms. Megan, please don't get excited. I'll change it for you. Let's talk it over nicely!"
Megan smiled and said proudly:
"You should have said it earlier, look at what you have done!
If you dare to do this again next time, don't blame me for being rude."
Megan didn't expect that this sentence would bring him a lot of trouble later.
