Lu Mingfei: Hogwarts repeater

Chapter 117 Harry used [Money Ability] on Lu Mingfei, and the effect was outstanding!

Gringotts has existed for a long time as the only bank in the wizarding world and is staffed entirely by goblins.

Lu Mingfei felt that this should be the result of a compromise between the wizard and the goblin.

Goblins are a long-lived species. They have a completely different magic system from wizards and are extremely powerful. Lu Mingfei once read in history books that goblins have rebelled many times.

So far, they have still not become a species like house elves, and they have controlled most of the economic circulation in the wizarding world to a certain extent...

It is conceivable that the strength must not be underestimated.

The process of taking away your property from Gringotts is very simple. Take out your own vault key, and after verification, you will be led by a dedicated goblin.

Lu Mingfei took out the small gold key to Harry's vault and the letter that Professor Dumbledore gave him.

Under the leadership of the goblin, they walked through the long and narrow corridor, sat on the trolley on the railway, and went to the corresponding vault.

All the vaults are underground, and the more important the vaults, the deeper they are. Mingfei heard that there is a fire dragon in the deepest part of Gringotts, but he just doesn’t know what kind it is...

"Go to Vault No. 713." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, took out a bag, and asked Harry to fill the half-full bag of gold galleons.

"Wait, what did you say? It will cost a lot of money to adopt you?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"No, it won't cost much. What I mean is...didn't Professor Dumbledore pay child support to the Dursleys instead?" Lu Mingfei frowned.

This is the currency exchange ratio provided by Gringotts for those Muggle couples who give birth to children with wizard qualifications. When the children receive an invitation letter for admission and need to come to Hogworth to attend school and purchase the necessary items for admission, Gringotts provides them with the currency exchange ratio.

"Are you going to the next vault?" the goblin on the side urged impatiently.

One gold galleone is equivalent to five pounds.

Looks like it’s time to buy a magic camera!

"So, these are all yours, no doubt about it." Lu Mingfei looked at Harry with a smile, and as expected, saw a stunned expression on Harry's face.

After a long roller coaster ride, the trolley finally stopped slowly.

Lu Mingfei was stunned when he heard this.

The goblin who led them used the small golden key that Lu Mingfei got from Professor Dumbledore to open the door of the vault, and a burst of green smoke, whether poisonous or not, came out.

When the smoke dissipated, Lu Mingfei heard the gasps from Harry next to the piles of gold Galleons, Silver Sickles and mountains of copper Nats in the vault.

"Yes, my room, board and school expenses," Harry replied.

The underground vault railway system is like a huge maze. It is easy for ordinary people to get lost in it, so they can only take a trolley controlled by goblins to reach their destination. This is also a precautionary measure.

But for Lu Mingfei, this is not a problem. His memory was so good that he could easily remember the path of the cart.

This made Lu Mingfei's heart move. If he took a camera to capture this scene, and then made it into an emoticon package to match Harry's reputation... it would be a hit, right?

"I can't believe it...Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon always complained about how much money it would cost to adopt me."

Every part of the fire dragon can be sold for a high price. The more powerful the fire dragon, the higher the quality and the better the price.

Harry swallowed hard and murmured, "If they knew that the money belonged to me... they would take it for themselves immediately, right?"

"I... don't know." Harry shook his head blankly.

He was not interested in the topics Lu Mingfei and Harry discussed, nor in Harry Potter itself, which was in sharp contrast to the previous wizards.

There is a certain limit on the amount of this exchange. In fact, one gold galleung is worth much more than five pounds. This is just a protection policy introduced to ensure that children from Muggle families have money for preliminary studies.

For Harry, this was definitely enough, and even more. There is no need to spend money to study and eat at Hogwarts, not to mention that Harry will have other income in the future...

Lu Mingfei's money-making plan needs Harry, so he will definitely give Harry a commission. This is one of the important reasons why his business at Hogwarts has been maintained to this day.

The two of them followed the goblin and sat on the trolley, continuing to go deep underground. The cold wind howled, but Lu Mingfei remained unmoved and kept frowning.

Lu Mingfei felt that the Dursleys should not have received Harry's child support... Judging from their avoidance of wizards.

But in this way, things went beyond Lu Mingfei's expectations.

There are two different things between not doing anything after receiving alimony and confiscating the alimony and raising the child without compensation.

As for the former, Lu Mingfei felt that the Dursleys were worse than his aunt.

But if it's the latter, then all the Dursleys' actions seem to be excusable.

Because adopting Harry is risking your life!
Voldemort doesn't know when he will take revenge on Harry. This is certain. If Harry is protected by magic, what about the Dursleys and their family? Are these two actually good people in terms of relationships? Lu Mingfei's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"It seems that I have to write to Professor Dumbledore and inquire carefully..." Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

The cart slowed down slowly, and Vault No. 713 arrived.

Unlike Harry's vault, vault No. 713 did not have a key. The goblin who led them knocked on the door with his finger, and the hard door slowly disappeared.

Lu Mingfei noticed that Harry was particularly curious and looked around. After discovering that such a super vault did not contain more Galleons than his vault, he was stunned for a moment.

"Why, do you feel a little disappointed?"

Lu Mingfei asked, walked forward, picked up the only small brown paper package on the ground in the vault, tossed it in his hand, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"No, it's just... what is this?" Harry shook his head and asked curiously, "Such an important place shouldn't store ordinary things, right?"

"You are right, but let me, a senior, teach you something, Harry," Lu Mingfei smiled softly.

"The more you know, the more responsibilities you need to bear. Therefore, before asking for information or taking certain actions, you must first consider whether you have the ability to bear the corresponding responsibilities."

After Harry thought thoughtfully for a while, he chose to shake his head, "Then it's better that I don't know."

"The right choice." Lu Mingfei was very satisfied with Harry's choice.

After taking a long trolley ride back to the surface, and walking out of Gringotts, Lu Mingfei thought about it and decided to take Harry to buy the most important things first.

"The wand is very important to an ordinary wizard. Most wizards cannot cast magic without a wand, except for a very small number of powerful wizards who have mastered the ability to cast spells without a wand."

Lu Mingfei said, snapping his fingers in front of Harry, and a bright ball of light appeared on his fingertips.

"That's amazing!" Harry said with starry eyes, "Senior Lu Mingfei, can you teach me?"

"I usually don't teach people easily..." Lu Mingfei snorted. He was about to say something else when he was interrupted by Harry handing the money bag in front of him.

"Are these enough? If not, you can go back and get more."

Harry Potter activated the skill [Money Ability] on Lu Mingfei, a knowing blow, and the effect was outstanding!

"Ahem, junior, who do you think I am? Am I an unscrupulous senior who wants to take money from juniors for no reason? This is simply an insult to my character!"

Lu Mingfei coughed twice and reluctantly pushed the money bag back into Harry's hand, "Given the relationship between me, of course this kind of teaching is not a problem, but my suggestion is to teach at Hogwarts." Listen carefully when you go to school.

Except for a few exceptions, the professors at Hogwarts all have very good teaching standards, but they are much better than me..."

Harry was stunned for a moment by Lu Mingfei's words. Later, he even began to feel that Senior Lu Mingfei was not the kind of person who was greedy for money. He just had a good sense of saving money and a strong desire to make money. However, The moral standards are still at a high level.

They came all the way to Ollivander's Wand Shop.

"Welcome to Ollivander's Wand Shop, please let me measure and test it for you...ah, it's you!"

Mr. Ollivander was about to say a bunch of words that every little wizard has heard before buying a wand, when he saw Lu Mingfei.

This made the second half of his words suddenly stuck in his throat, and the look he looked at Lu Mingfei was particularly strange.

Harry also noticed this and looked back and forth between Lu Mingfei and Mr. Ollivander curiously.

"Mr. Ollivander, why are you showing that expression? After all, I also learned how to make wands from you, and I am considered your half-apprentice..." Lu Mingfei said helplessly to break the deadlock.

"Please don't mention this, it will make me want to break into the Ministry of Magic and steal a time turner to go back to those days and make this never happen." Mr. Ollivander's expression was straight.

"Okay, okay, but if you ask me, there's no way, right? It's limited by the materials..."

Lu Mingfei originally wanted to defend himself, but seeing the look in Mr. Ollivander's eyes, he wisely chose to give up.

The way Lu Mingfei made the wand was really a blow to Ollivander, or could it be considered an insult?

It's like a chip that was originally supposed to be made by a photolithography machine was made by Lu Mingfei using a furnace and a graver...

"Ahem, it doesn't interfere with doing business, right? This time I brought Harry to buy a wand!" Lu Mingfei pushed Harry to divert the fire.

The effect was outstanding. Mr. Ollivander's anger was probably only directed at Lu Mingfei for polluting the field of wand making. He was quite enthusiastic about the famous Harry Potter.
