"Look, two little wizards, four Muggles... Yes, yes, it's summer again." An old man wearing a funny pointed hat sighed.
Not far from him was a black man with a snake around his neck. Hearing this, he immediately raised his glass: "To Xia Xia..."
Another dwarf knocked on the table: "Old Tom, your job!"
An old man with almost all his hair gone and wrinkled face like a wrinkled walnut came out from behind the bar.
"Mr. Tom, Professor McGonagall asked us to come." Seeing several adults in a daze, Ringo stepped forward.
"I know, the little wizard of the Muggle family, you want to go to Diagon Alley, don't you? Come with me." Tom beckoned, turned and led them into the small walled courtyard.
There's a trash can over there.
He took out his wand and counted up the trash can: "Remember the location, after you have the wand, you need to come in by yourself."
"What would happen if someone moved the trash can?" Ringo took the opportunity to ask the doubts of his previous life.
"I check it several times a day. If someone makes trouble, I will cast a petrification spell and put him here as a trash can."
Tom has a good temper, and replied with a smile, "Of course, usually nothing will happen to it."
Da da da.
Under the tap of the wand, the stone bricks vibrated and began to move, and soon spread into a wide archway leading to the cobblestone road ahead.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley."
After sending the six people in, Tom turned and left.
Ringo still wanted to ask how to get back, but found that the wall changed back to its original appearance after entering, plus the exclamation of Hermione and the others.
He had to give up.
Turn your head and enjoy the view of the famous landmark - Diagon Alley.
The dense crowd:
Most of them wear wizard robes, pointed hats, and hold various magical items in their hands...
Various styles but overall ancient buildings:
Partridge's Cauldron Shop, Ela's Owl Shop, Quidditch Boutique, Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, Florin Fusco's Ice Cream Shop...and at the end of the road, the snow-white building towering above all the shops —Gringotts.
"It's so big, such a big place is in London, even the city government didn't notice it! It's incredible!" The Grangers sighed, their home is in London, so they were very surprised.
Although Daisy also sighed.
But it’s still down to business: “Where should we go first?”
"Gringotts, exchange for wizard-specific coins." Ringo looked at Hermione, "Professor McGonagall should have told you?"
"Um……"
Hermione nodded blankly, her eyes were still beating, but soon stopped at Lihen Bookstore.
The posture of the female academic bully is fully exposed.
Lovely.
Lingo admired it for a while, but seeing the wizards around kept looking over, he had no choice but to urge everyone to move forward and walked all the way to Gringotts.
"That broom can fly..."
"A lot of owls, and do wizards eat ice cream too?"
"Gringotts is so big, there are pets at the door... no, they are intelligent creatures, they are still wearing uniforms, they have long hands and long legs and are short, they look like—"
"The goblin..." Ringo kept explaining to them.
And all deduced what McGonagall said.
While talking, the goblin at the door bowed to them and said, "Come to exchange money?"
"Yes……"
"Don't walk around, come with me."
Although the goblin bowed, his tone was not very kind. Under his cunning and indifferent gaze, even Sam had goosebumps.
Ringo felt fine.
Instead, I was curious that the goblin saluting at the door actually spoke—it seemed to be just saluting in the original book and the movie.
Maybe it's the charm bonus. Seeing the goblin looking at him is not cold, so he dares to "impolitely" look directly at the goblin, observe the appearance carefully, so that he doesn't even pay attention to the classic quotations engraved on the second door.
Until a certain counter.
The goblin left and was replaced by a clerk goblin, each handing over a piece of parchment: "29 Tenas equals 1 Sickle, 17 Sickles equals 1 Galleon, 1 Galleon... Let me see, now 1 Galleon equals £5.06, how much Galleon do you want in exchange?"
"How many Galleons can be exchanged at most?" Ringo smiled at him.
The clerk goblin frowned.
Does not seem to want to answer.
But under Lingo's gaze, he finally said: "Muggle-born wizards can exchange up to 100 Galleons per year."
"So little? I saw that an owl costs 10 Galleons, and those magic brooms cost hundreds of Galleons..."
Mrs. Granger was not very satisfied. Both of them were dentists. They were typical high-income people in the UK. Five hundred pounds was not even a fraction of their monthly income.
But face her.
The goblin got impatient and screamed: "Up to 100! It's enough to buy the things on the admission list, and there will be a good surplus if you save a little-do you want to change it or not?"
"Change……"
Startled, Mr. Granger grabbed his wife and pulled out a £506 note.
But Mrs. Granger was clearly pissed off.
Immediately stared back at the goblin.
Still whispering words like "it's stupid to have money and not make money", "that money is too little", "my Hermione is going to suffer".
Even if Hermione secretly pulled the sleeve several times, he would not stop.
Then--
She heard Ringo's voice:
"I just looked at your business table. In addition to the British pound exchange business, it seems that you also buy jewelry, goldware and antiques? If this is the case, please estimate the prices of these things."
Snapped!
Sam opened the briefcase at Ringo's gesture.
A piece of golden and shining jewelry and antiques was exposed to everyone's eyes.The Granger family, who struggled with the lack of money, was immediately stunned.
"005" wand
A quarter of an hour later, amidst the expressions of "there is still such an operation" on the faces of the Granger family, all the antiques Ringo brought were exchanged for Galleons——
A total of 342 Galleons, 15 Sickles and 25 Tenas.
Even the 100 galleons exchanged for the British pound, Ringo now has more than 400 galleons in his hands, and he can be regarded as a little rich man in the magic world.
But obviously.
The goblins suppressed the price very hard.
If it can be sold normally in the magic world, the price is estimated to be doubled.
This made Sam very dissatisfied, and couldn't help complaining for a long time. Mrs. Granger felt the same, and criticized them together until they left Gringotts.
"We are going to go to the robe store to buy school uniforms first, do you want to come together?" Mr. Granger issued an invitation.
Lingo shook his head and said, "I observed it just now. The school uniforms and robes are all measured and made on the spot. It takes half an hour for one person. If two people are together, it may take an hour to get out. How about this? Let's buy them separately first. , How about meeting at the Lihen Bookstore at the end? This is more efficient."
"good idea……"
The Grangers agreed, they were dentists and they liked efficiency first.
This can be seen in Hermione...
After making a decision.
The two families separated, and Hermione's family went to Madam Malkin's robe store, while Ringo went straight to Ela's Owl store.
Soon, the three stopped in front of a dark shop.
There are owls everywhere: barn owls, brown owls, screech owls, gray wood owls...and a snowy owl.
Sensing Ringo coming.
All the owls hanging near the street turned their heads to look at them, and some of them were even held by other wizards who bought them, but they didn't care about them.
"I knew that little Ringo liked animals very much, and animals also liked little Ringo." Daisy looked at Ringo, who was panting slightly, with a look of seeing through you, "No wonder you are in a hurry to come here."
"Oh, I have no privacy in front of sister Daisy!"
Ringo casually said something perfunctory.
But did not tell the other party the truth:
The reason why he chose this place as the first target was because he just saw a familiar owl—Harry Potter's birthday present, Hedwig the snowy owl.
Yes……
Harry first came to Diagon Alley on July 7st.
And now it's July 7.
From the movie, Hedwig is hung at the door of the owl shop to attract customers.
It is not ruled out that there are other snowy owls in the store, but when Ringo observed the only snowy owl at the door closely, he still believed that it was Hedwig.
Snow-white feathers, black spots, and jewel-like eyes.
As he approached, he let out a low cooing sound.
"Sir, how much is this snowy owl?" Ringo called to stop the boss.
"Which one?" The boss was paying a wizard, and he glanced at it, "Oh, the beautiful lady Snowy Owl, quiet and smart, the price is 15 Galleons."
"I bought it……"
Ringo was very straightforward: "But I still have a question."
"Happy to serve you." The boss smiled flatteringly.
"You see, I'm a Muggle-born wizard, and I've had a few owls, but they don't seem to deliver letters?"
"Haha! There are little wizards who have similar problems every year. It's very simple, sir, because of magic! Magic can make owls learn how to send letters."
The boss took off the snowy owl's cage for Ringo, blinked slyly, and his voice became softer, "But this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, otherwise I wouldn't dare to sell the owl so expensive."
Well, almighty magic!
Lingo reluctantly accepted the answer, took the cage, reached in and touched the snowy owl's head, and the other party was very obedient.
"Here, 15 Galleons." Sam turned into a bill payer.
"Don't be in a hurry to give money... Daisy, you pick an owl too."
"Let's pick too? Is one not enough?" Daisy was curious.
"Of course not. I will definitely bring this one to school, but what about you? My dear sister Daisy, don't you miss me? There seems to be no telephone in the school. If there is no owl, you will not be able to contact me." Ringo tilted his head, "Of course, if you don't want me, forget it..."
"Hmph! Brat."
Daisy grabbed Ringo's cheek: "In this case, let's buy another one. It's not my money anyway, right Sam? Go, pick the most expensive one!"
"receive……"
Sam saluted and rushed into the store.
finally……
The three spent about 35 galleons to buy a snowy owl, a screech owl, some owl nuts and owl food, and walked away amidst the praise of the boss.
after that.
Buy ink, parchment, quills and shorthand quills at the Jishu stationery store, about 5 Galleons;
Buy a size 2 pewter cauldron at the Patchy Crucible Shop for 15 Galleons;
