The White Lord of Hogwarts

Chapter 5 The Senior from Slytherin

"I am indeed..." Love wanted to say something, but he choked up. He thought of his mother whom he had never met, and it was likely that the problem was her.

In the eyes of the goblin, Love is definitely a sign of guilt after being exposed.

"What's going on?" Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with Love, Hagrid hurried over and asked with concern.

Hagrid's huge physique was a very good deterrent. The goblin didn't dare to say anything, but just pushed the little book towards Hagrid.

"You can see clearly by yourself. His name is not on the booklet. I really can't exchange money for him." It laughed strangely.

"Huh?" A trace of doubt arose in Hagrid's heart, he took the book from the goblin, and read it with a frown.

[This year's list of Muggle-born freshmen:

justin finley
Hermione Jane Granger

……

Kevin Entwistle]

The list wasn't long, and Hagrid was pretty sure Love wasn't on it.

"You are not a wizard from a Muggle family, so you don't meet the conditions for exchange." The goblin shrugged and said regretfully.

"It might be my mother... I haven't seen her since I was born." Love guessed the root of the problem: he was probably a half-blood wizard, not a real little wizard of hemp.

"He hasn't seen his mother since he was born!" Hagrid still wanted to try harder, he came to the counter, patted the table, and said loudly with great dissatisfaction.

With Hagrid's slap, the entire counter shook, and the rubies on the scales of the neighbors were shaken off, scattering all over the table.This attracted the attention of countless goblins and wizards who came here to handle business.

The goblin was taken aback, and then realized: This is Gringotts, its home field!
"Calm down! Otherwise, I'll just 'invite' you out!" The goblin threatened very rudely.

The goblin's attitude made Hagrid even more angry, but just when he was about to get angry, Love tugged at the hem of his clothes, signaling him to stay calm and not make things irreparable.

"Since the British pound cannot be exchanged for the currency of the magic world, can I exchange it with precious metals?" Professor McGonagall mentioned in the "voice message" sent before, asking Love to bring some precious metals, and he concluded that Gu Ling The pavilion has the business of exchanging precious metals for gold Galleons.

The goblin behind the counter still has the ability to do business. After hearing that Love decided to exchange precious metals for money, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Of course! Gringotts welcomes distinguished guests to exchange precious metals for Galleons, and this kind of exchange is not limited."

"Very good." Love nodded, took out the pocket watch from his pocket, and put it on the counter.

"Oh?" The goblin became interested, first put on a pair of white gloves, then took out an eyepiece, and carefully observed the gold pocket watch.

"It's completely mechanically driven, which is interesting... The body of the watch is 14K gold, inlaid with sterling silver, the dial is made of platinum, and decorated with rubies..." When looking at the pocket watch, the goblin kept whispering, Clearly an expert in this area.

After reading it, it has a rough judgment on the value of the pocket watch.

"An interesting Muggle gadget, and the mechanical structure is also very delicate. How much do you want to exchange it for?"

Love was taken aback, how could he know the value of this watch in the magic world?So he asked back: "How much can you give?"

The demon came to a sudden realization: this kid really didn't realize the real value of this watch.

"10 Galleons. The material of the watch itself is not good. Although the mechanical structure is very delicate, it is an alchemical creation of Muggles after all, and has too many shortcomings." The goblin quoted a price that sounded very low.

"10 Galleons is a bit too little, not even enough for him to buy the books and equipment he needs for school." After Hagrid heard the goblin's offer, he immediately felt that the goblin's asking price was too low.

The goblin's eyes rolled: "New student...then I can make a little concession, who will make me kind? I won't make any money from this order. How about 15 Galleons? No more!"

"20 Galleons, I want this watch." Suddenly, a clear female voice came from the side, interrupting the conversation between Love and the goblin.

Leprechaun:? !

Who spoiled my good deed?

Love also turned his head curiously, wanting to see who the spoiler was, and then a red-haired girl wearing a top wizard hat came into his sight.The girl wore a black female-style wizard robe with white lace on the neckline of the robe.A pair of thin black stockings were put on the exposed thighs under the skirt, and a pair of black satin high boots were worn on the feet.

"Foxey Swift." Seeing Love looking at her, the girl first reported her name, and then smiled at him: "I want to buy this pocket watch, can I?"

The goblins behind the counter were shocked: How dare someone cut their own beard in Gringotts?

It cleared its throat and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, haven't you noticed that I am discussing business with Mr. Moen? Please don't disturb us!"

"I'm Love Moen, how much will you pay?" Love asked bluntly.

"Ten Galleons."

"Deal." Love leaned forward, took his pocket watch from the counter, and handed it to the girl named Foxy.

"Hey, wait a minute! We can actually talk!" The goblin behind the counter jumped up from his stool as if he had been slashed.

It's a pity that Love has already completed the deal with Foxy.

He put away the purse handed over by the girl, looked at the goblin pretending to be innocent, and spread his hands: "Sorry, that watch has already been sold."

"How can this be!" The goblin couldn't help but stomped her feet, "That watch, that watch—you take the watch back from her first, and we can talk slowly!"

With the fat in her mouth gone, how could the always greedy goblin maintain a peaceful mind?Even if the watch was returned at a price of thirty galleons, it would be profitable!
Love shrugged and left the lobby, leaving the goblin to regret it.

"Good job." Hagrid grinned, and gave Love a thumbs up. He had long seen these goblins upset, and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to anger them.Just looking at the goblin's frantic look, Love must still be at a loss.

As soon as the two walked out of Gringotts, they heard someone shouting from behind: "Hey! Wait a minute!"

Immediately afterwards, the girl ran behind Love and stuffed a small leather bag into his hand.

"This is?"

"Your watch is worth at least 30 galleons. I won't take advantage of you. This is the difference in the price I pay you." Foxy put her hands behind her back and winked at Love: "You are the freshman this year. wrong?"

Love nodded.

"Then I am your senior sister! Do you have a favorite academy?"

"Uh, I haven't made up my mind yet." Love has no specific ideas about which college to go to.

"Why don't you come to Slytherin, senior sister, I'll cover you~" Foxy smiled slyly, like a little fox.

Hearing this, Hagrid, who was standing aside, couldn't help it.
