Chapter 12 Diagon Alley Tour
"Welcome to Diagon Alley, where you can buy everything you need to go to school. But before that, you need to go to Gringott to exchange for some money." Professor McGonagall said to them with a smile, "Okay OK, we have to hurry."
After saying that, Professor McGonagall took them forward.
"There are three types of coins in the magic world, namely gold gallon, silver sicko, and copper sicko. Their exchange ratio is one gallon equals seventeen sicko, and one sicko equals twenty-nine sicko. How about it, it's easy to remember."
Professor McGonagall gave them popular science while walking.
Mr. Granger was watching the strange shops on both sides of the street. After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, he couldn't help but say, "Professor, I have no intention of offending, but don't you think this conversion ratio is very strange?"
"Mr. Granger, I know that your Muggles are converted in multiples of ten or ten. In fact, we don't think it's troublesome to convert like this, but instead thinks that the conversion of Muggles is very irrelevant."
"Well, okay, sorry, professor." Mr. Granger thought for a while, thinking that this was caused by cultural differences, so he apologized quickly.
Professor McGonagall nodded with a smile, and then continued to walk forward.
"The Gringott is controlled by the goblins, which are equivalent to the Muggles' banks. These goblins were defeated in the previous wars, but to appease them, they were asked to mint gold coins for the wizards." Professor McGonagall was free, so he continued.
"Are you afraid that the fairies will turn against each other one day? After all, they have mastered the lifeline of the economy." Mr. Granger muttered in a low voice again.
However, Professor McGonagall was very powerful and could hear it.
"Mr. Granger, the goblins won't rebel."
"This is not sure."
"Dad!" "Husband!" Hermione and Mrs. Granger expressed their dissatisfaction with Mr. Granger at the same time.
"I really hope the fairies rebel." Ryan interrupted without caring.
Mr. Granger was surprised. He and Professor McGonagall looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"My family is still short of a few loyal domestic elves. Perhaps they are a good choice, which is also the voice of many wizards."
Ryan knew very well what the last goblin rebellion was. The Death Eater's stronghold not only contains magic books, but also many secrets.
The last time the fairy rebellion was not so much a bloody feast as a rebellion.
In order to fill the number of domestic elves, the upper wizards pushed the outbreak of the war with countless elves captured in the war.
In the end, the fairies discovered something wrong. In order to cover up the real reason for the outbreak of the war and to appease the fairies' emotions, the wizards at the upper level handed over the right to mint coins to the fairies.
"What is a house elf?" Hermione asked curiously.
"You will know in the future. Let's go to Gringott now." Professor McGonagall knew that the little wizard from Muggles could not accept the existence of this kind of slavery, so he changed the subject.
Naturally, Leon would not have swept Professor McGonagall's face and followed Professor McGonagall with a smile.
The Granger family looked at each other and followed Professor McGonagall.
But Mr. Granger's pleasure of entering the magic world quickly cooled down, and he realized that the magic world was not a fairy tale world.
He began to doubt whether it was right to send his daughter into this unknown world.
However, this kid seemed to know a lot of things, maybe he could make a mess. Mr. Granger couldn't help but look at Ryan's back.
It didn't matter when he saw this. He suddenly realized that the suit on Ryan was actually handmade and was of great value. But Mr. Granger did not see any sign of aristocratic education from him.
It's really strange, which child is this? Could it be the illegitimate child of which family? Mr. Granger couldn't help but think.
Leon didn't know that Mr. Granger was curious about his identity at this time, and he was now under a conversational attack from Hermione.
"How did you know that the house elves are? Is anyone in your family a wizard?"
"Do you know magic? I mean...my parents are ordinary people who don't know magic."
"By the way, where are your parents, why don't they come today?"
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall burst into tears. She said why she always felt that she had forgotten something, it turned out to be this.
Hogwarts will provide a scholarship fund for poor families or orphans to complete their studies, but Professor McGonagall has not informed Ryan about the money.
In other words, she will have to bring up this matter in front of the Granger family later.
Will this child feel inferior? Merlin, how could I make such a mistake? Professor McGonagall kept blaming himself and constantly thinking about solutions.
"Diet, four years ago."
"What?" Hermione asked incrediblely, widening her eyes.
"My parents died four years ago, in gang fights." Ryan said calmly.
But it was this calm tone that shocked everyone, including Professor McGonagall turned around and looked at him.
"Hug... Sorry, I... I'm not... I'm sorry..." Hermione reacted first. She blushed and kept apologizing, and even some tears appeared at the corners of her eyes.
The little girl cried anxiously.
"Don't care so much. Maybe you don't know that there is a resurrection stone in the magic world." Rein threw a big bomb in a plain tone again.
Hermione opened her mouth wide, not knowing what to say.
The Grangers were also shocked. After all, it was a resurrection stone. You could tell that you could resurrect someone when you heard the name.
"Mr. Zel, I have to remind you that the Resurrection Stone is just a legend in the magic world." Professor McGonagall turned around and said.
Ryan smiled and nodded to show that he knew.
"Okay, we're here, this is Gringott." Professor McGonagall led everyone to stop in front of a tall white house.
The short and ugly fairy standing at the door ran over with her short legs and said in her sharp voice: "Dear Professor McGonagall, Gringott welcomes you. Of course, there are you, if you bring gold instead of Muggle currency."
Mr. Granger couldn't help but frown. He could now feel the malice from the wizarding world more and more.
Mrs. Granger also pinched her husband's arm. Mr. Granger patted her hand on her arm, indicating that she would do it.
"Enough, this is a new little wizard. Please get out of the way." Professor McGonagall couldn't help but become a little stricter, and the majesty accumulated over the years of teaching instantly spread.
"Okay, okay, please come in." The fairy shivered and moved away from her body and made a gesture to invite her in.
Professor McGonagall snorted coldly and walked in first.
Ryan followed behind, followed by the Grangers.
"Disturbate, you need to exchange currency here." Professor McGonagall walked to the innermost counter and knocked on the table and said.
The goblin raised his wrinkled face, looked at Ryan and Hermione, and said slowly, "Oh, okay, it's the time for the little wizard to enter school again."
As he said that, he pulled out one from a bunch of books beside him and said while flipping through it: "The current exchange rate is five pounds to one gallon, and each little wizard can only exchange for up to 200 pieces a year."
After turning to the correct position, the fairy picked up a quill and dipped it in the ink bottle, saying, "Who will come first? By the way, you need to show me your admission notice."
Hermione looked at Ryan, who took a little step back, meaning you first.
"This is my admission notice." Hermione took out a neatly stacked piece of letter paper from her pocket, unfolded it and placed it on the counter.
The fairy pinched it with her slender and thick fingers, looked at it, and put it down again.
"Miss Granger, how much do you want to exchange for?" asked the goblin.
"Two hundred Gallons," said Mr. Granger, then took out ten coins with a denomination of one hundred pounds from his wallet and placed them on the counter.
"Okay, okay, two hundred gallons." The fairy pointed out two hundred gallons and put them on the balance and weighed them. After the amount was good, she threw the pound into the box behind her casually.
"Please order, you are not responsible for leaving the counter." The fairy put two hundred Gallons in a pocket and handed them over to Mr. Granger.
"What about you? Sir." After completing Hermione's procedures, the fairy turned her head and asked Ryan.
"This kid needs to apply for a student loan, this is Hogwarts' explanation."
As he said that, Professor McGonagall took out a piece of paper and prepared to put it on the counter, but was stopped by Ryan.
"Zele, this is not a time to be strong, and it is not for you, but it needs to be repaid in the future." Professor McGonagall said, thinking that Ryan did not accept the funds out of her own self-esteem.
"Professor McGonagall, I have money myself." As he said that, he threw the traceless stretch bag around his waist onto the counter.
"Mr. Fairy, is there a limit on gold and gems?" Ryan's face always had a constant smile.
"Of course not!" After hearing Reen's words, the fairy became a little interested.
He picked up the bag on the counter, weighed it, then flipped his pocket over, trying to pour out the contents inside.
This pocket is not big, and the fairy didn't consider the factor of the traceless stretch bag, because Professor McGonagall just now wanted to apply for a student loan for the young wizard.
But the fact was beyond everyone's expectations, and a lot of gold and gems fell from their pockets, covering the entire counter.
Fortunately, the fairy reacted quickly, otherwise there would have fallen to the ground.
"Oh, look at this little cutie." The fairy picked up a golden bead and said, "By the way, my name is Kebi, hello, what do you call it?"
Seeing Reen's money, Kebi immediately changed his face.
