The Magic Circle From The Harry Potter World
Chapter 4 Gringotts
"Welcome to Diagon Alley!" Tom said excitedly.
With the sound of Hedwig's Variations, the one-day tour of the Felkes family's Diagon Alley finally began.
Behind the arch, a winding cobblestone road stretches to the end, and bustling people crowd each other on the narrow streets.
Many are dressed in robes and peaked hats, revealing the medieval style of dressing. Of course, there are also people like the Philx's family, who are dressed in modern Muggle costumes. Without exception, these people's eyes are full of curiosity and excitement.
In addition, there was continuous noise, the various owls hanging on the signboard of the Yila Owl shop were hooting, and the broomstick displayed in the glass case of the Quidditch boutique - Nimbus 2000 was surrounded by small crowds. Wizards, jumping and frolicking, magic jokes, the sparks running around outside the store make passers-by dodge from time to time, and there are also ravens and owls delivering couriers in the sky, all kinds of things fill the whole Diagon Alley with magic and different from modern times. breath of life.
"Bai Hao! Bai Hao! Look, that lizard can breathe fire!" Xitaya was so excited that she held Bai Hao's hand and jumped up and down. "Also, that pumpkin head. It's the first time I've seen one that can really fly in the air, and its eyes and mouth can move. I must buy one for Halloween."
Xitaya was extremely excited, and the Felkes and his wife next to her were not much better. Mr. Bolas had a questioning look in his surprised eyes, and Mrs. Mary was shocked with a little panic.
As for Locke, his small eyes were already wide open, and he looked around with his mouth open, with a silly look, apparently dumbfounded.
"Professor McGonagall, are we going to use pounds to buy these things? Or do we need to exchange them for other currencies?" Boras was the first to recover himself from the shock, so he deserves to be a consultant to the London Police Department.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Bolas, Muggle currency cannot be spent in Diagon Alley. We have to go to Gringotts to exchange for Galleons." Professor McGonagall turned and said.
"Gringotts? It seems that it is a bank in the wizarding world. The coin called Gallon has the word "gold". Could it be made of gold?" Bolas was caught in a panic when he heard Professor McGonagall's words. Contemplating, there is no doubt that he has committed an occupational disease.
"Then next, Mr. Bolas, please forgive me, because it is not convenient for me to take you with me later, you can move freely, but please be careful when you move, and don't enter Knockturn Alley, which is the territory of dark wizards , there will be signs reminding you not to enter there before entering there." Professor McGonagall said seriously, "Mr. Philx, please follow me, we have to go to Gringotts first."
"Then, I'll go with Professor McGonagall first." Bai Hao pulled Xita Ya's hand away without any trace, and picked her up on tiptoe to hug her.
"Wait a minute, Bai Hao." Bolas called to Bai Hao who was about to leave, "You take this, you don't have to worry about money."
I saw Boras took out a stack of pounds from his pocket and put them in Bai Hao's hands, estimated to be thousands of dollars.
"Thank you, Bolas Uncle." Bai Hao grinned and grinned.
"When you're done, go back to the bar and find us."
"OK."
In fact, Bai Hao has money himself. After unlocking his memory, he sneaked into a gangster's lair in London for a while, swept away the cash and gold jewelry worth millions of pounds, and sold these guys drugs. Evidence of the crimes, women, children, and prohibited weapons were all thrown into the police station and newspaper office, and within a few days the gangster disappeared completely in London.
Who told their eldest son to be so arrogant at school, and dare to threaten Xita Ya to be his girlfriend?
The reason why he accepted Bolas Uncle's money was because he was too lazy to explain the source of the money on him, and he couldn't explain it clearly. The second is that he has no psychological burden. In the future, he will find a few gangsters to do meritorious service for Bolas Uncle, and the bonus of tens of thousands of dollars will be sprinkled.
After walking with Professor McGonagall for about a minute, we arrived at Gringotts, a crooked three-story white marble building.
There are two doors in Gringotts.
The first door was a gleaming bronze gate, flanked by goblin guards in uniforms of scarlet and gold, who bowed to clients as they came.
The second door is silver, and the following words are engraved on the door: Come in, stranger; but be careful what will happen to you if you are greedy; Take a treasure that never belonged to you, thief, you have been warned, be careful not to bring treasure, but evil reward.
Seeing the words above, Bai Hao was somewhat disapproving. If you elf follow Voldemort's example and put a curse on the thieves who come uninvited, anyone who leaves Gringotts with wealth that does not belong to him will be hunted down, then Bai Hao can still look up to you a little bit, but just engrave a piece of text like this, who are you scaring?
A Quirrell who was possessed by a half-dead Voldemort could break in and open the vault door, and walk away without any damage. Bai Hao really didn't think this text had any effect, but he still felt this so-called warning It reflects that the goblin's greedy desire will eventually eat itself back.
Pass through the second silver door and enter the spacious marble hall. About a hundred or so goblins are sitting behind the long counter, some are registering hastily in the big ledger, some are weighing gold Galleons with a scale, some Examining gemstones with an eyepiece, the huge white marble building is full of luxury and greed.
Although the goblins in Gringotts are really ugly, Bai Hao never judges people by their appearance. In Aslante, there were many people with strange shapes, and Yiye was one of them. If he hadn't been pestering Erza all the time, Bai Hao couldn't resist beating him.
But now it's not a matter of the goblins being ugly, but the greedy aura emanating from them makes Bai Hao a little nauseous.
"No wonder people in the wizarding world hate fairies." Bai Hao rubbed his brows and said to himself.
Professor McGonagall led Bai Hao to a semi-circular counter surrounded by golden railings criss-crossing, leaving only a small window in which a goblin was using its crumpled fingers Count the Galleons.
"Mr. Felkes wants to exchange some Galleons." Professor McGonagall walked forward without even saying hello, which showed that she didn't like these fairies either.
I have to say that the goblins are short, but the counters they set up are not short at all. Good guy, Professor McGonagall has to look up at them.
"Ah~~, of course it's no problem, then please show Mr. Felkes the admission letter." The goblin slowly poked his head out from the window of the counter while supporting the table.
Bai Hao took out the notice from his pocket and handed it to Professor McGonagall.
"No problem." The goblin opened the notice and looked at it for a while, then nodded, "Every £5 can be exchanged for 1 Gold Galleon, 17 Silver Sickles, or 29 Copper Knuts."
"So, Mr. Felkes, how much do you want to exchange?"
"These are all changed!" Bai Hao arrogantly took out a wad of 10,000 pounds in cash, which not only contained the money Bolas gave him just now, but also the money he himself took from the gangsters.
"And these, I changed them too." Bai Hao also took out a pile of gold jewelry, which was also obtained from gangsters, and he was worried that these jewelry would have no place to use.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The goblin was fine when he saw the pound, but his eyes began to light up when he saw Bai Hao take out the gold.
The goblin carefully put away the pound and gold jewelry, fearing that a gram of gold would be wiped off, and then walked into the counter. And Professor McGonagall looked at Bai Hao with surprised eyes. She was very curious about how the little wizard in front of her wore so many heavy gold jewelry on her body.
After waiting for a short time, the goblin reappeared on the counter, still holding a red cloth bag in his hand.
"Mr. Felkes, the pound and the gold together can be exchanged for 4621 gold galleons, 10 silver Sickles and 6 copper Knuts." The goblin said while handing the bag to Bai Hao. Obviously this is a bag that has been cast with the infinite stretching spell, otherwise it would not be able to hold so much money.
Bai Hao bumped the bag in his hand, it was clinking and heavy.
"Then, Mr. Felkes, it's time for us to move on to the next place." As soon as they moved to Jin Gallon, Professor McGonagall urged Bai Hao to leave. It was obvious that she hated staying in this place very much.
"Mr. Felkes, I want to remind you, don't trust goblins easily, their greed is beyond your imagination." Professor McGonagall said to Bai Hao as soon as he left the gate of Gringotts, "Also, because your parents I was delayed a little to pick up another student, so you have to prepare things for school by yourself."
"I think you remember that the list is attached to the admission letter, so, Mr. Felkes, can you do it by yourself." Professor McGonagall lowered his head slightly and asked with scrutiny.
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall, I can do it by myself." Bai Hao bowed lightly. Now that he has changed to Jin Gallon, he can handle the next things by himself.
"Okay then, see you at Hogwarts. It's a pleasure to be your teacher, Mr. Felkes."
"I am also very happy to be your student, Professor McGonagall."
Professor McGonagall nodded, turned and left without saying anything.
