Chapter 402

Like Fudge, Solim is a bit of a mess right now.

It stands to reason that it has nothing to do with him what the chaos is like outside, he should stay at home and live his little life, it shouldn't be like this. But who told him to give Dursley a coin that could be used to contact him some time ago, the Dursleys didn't contact him, but Solim had to prepare.

But the reality was 108,000 miles away from what he expected.

Does Gringotts have Muggle money? Yes.

Much?

Can Solim use it after exchanging it for Galleons? No.

That's right, every year when new students enter Hogwarts, there will be little wizards from Muggle families to exchange for Galleons, and this service of exchanging Galleons has been around since Hogwarts began to recruit Muggle-born wizards, when did Hogwarts start recruiting Muggle-born wizards?

From the time of the Big Four, Gringotts began to accept the exchange business. Even if the number of students enrolled in the wizarding world was small when it first opened, the number of people who enter Hogwarts every year is not small, and the cumulative number is not small.

But the reality is not that simple.

The first one is the issue of paper money. The goblins don't go out of their way to keep what they think is a piece of waste paper, paper pounds are stored haphazardly in warehouses, not to mention the broken notes, just the year of issue, this is a dead thing.

The E-series of sterlings is a new version of the banknotes that have only been issued in recent years, and the previous D-series, although still in circulation, is said to be out of circulation in a few years, and the last edition of the D-series banknotes was issued in 1984, not to mention the earlier versions, which are completely scrap paper.

The vast majority of Gringotts' "waste paper" banknotes made Solim want to knock out the members of parliament and the bankers' dog brains.

Where are you going to let me get pounds?

Solim stood in the doorway of Gringotts, and for a moment he was a little dumbfounded. Luckily, the Dursleys hadn't contacted him, and now he really didn't know what to do if they did. I have boasted about Haikou before, but I can't pay for it, this is no longer a question of embarrassment or not - this is a matter of credibility. And Solim has always paid great attention to credibility, because he knows that only people who never break contracts and never deceive people can be effective when they deceive people at critical moments.

Opposite Gringotts was the entrance to Tumbledown Alley, Solim glanced at it and shook his head, he didn't plan to go in now, what he needed now was this-

"Boss, have a strawberry ice cream. Solim felt he needed to take a break now.

The Florin Cold Drink Shop is not too familiar to Hogwarts students, and every year before the start of the school year, the store has a peak sales period.

"You're a student at Hogwarts, aren't you?" the boss took the bronze nats that Solim handed over.

"What? Are Hogwarts students still on sale?" Solim took a hard bite of the ice cream, the cold taste making him feel better.

"Not really. The boss shook his head mysteriously, leaned over and whispered, "If you're a Hogwarts student, then you must have seen Harry Potter, right?

Solim rolled his eyes, every year the freshmen have an activity, which is to organize a group to visit the "famous" Harry Potter, and they usually start this activity on the second day of school, because the rookie seniors will tell them about the "feats" that Harry Potter has done in school the night before.

"There isn't a single Hogwarts student who hasn't seen Harry Potter, what do you want to say?"

"Inside message. The boss said, "There was a hearing of him in the ministry recently because he was casting spells outside of school. The Daily Prophet hasn't published it yet. "

"How do you know?" said Solim looked at the boss strangely. Although this is not a secret, it is not something that a small owner who owns a store can know.

"I have a classmate who works in the ministry and he gave me the message. The boss was a little smug, "I used to be Hufflepuff, and my classmate was in the same dorm room with me when he was in school. "

"Oh, did this classmate of yours tell you why Harry Potter casts spells outside of school, and what kind of spell is being cast?"

"This ...... He didn't say that. What? What do you know?" The boss suddenly looked at Solim with a twinkle in his eyes, "Tell me, if you really know something, I'm a person who likes this! I can give you an ice cream for free, you name what you want!"

Solim thought about it for a moment, and decided that since this boss likes to gossip with people, it would be good for him to spread some news.

Thinking of this, Solim smiled and said, "I really know. My father and mother were talking about work and I overheard me, but I can only tell you one person, and you must not tell anyone else. "

The boss's eyes lit up with excitement and nodded busily.

"No problem, my mouth has always been firm! Don't even try to pry my mouth open!" the boss rubbed his hands excitedly, "I will never tell anyone! I promise you!"

"Well, Harry Potter cast a spell in front of a Muggle. Solim said, "But do you know what kind of magic he uses?"

"In front of Muggles?" the boss was shocked, his classmate really didn't tell him this, "my God, how could he cast a spell in front of Muggles?

"Do you use the Patronus Charm for fun?" Solim asked rhetorically, "What do you think wizards would use the Patronus Charm in front of Muggles?"

"Patronus Charm? Are you sure that Muggle is not a Dementor?" the boss looked at Solim with a strange look in his eyes, as if Solim had just lied.

"That's not right...... boss reacted and said with a smile: "Don't be kidding, how can a little wizard master the Patronus Charm at this age." "

"I didn't lie to you. Solim shook his head, "It is said that two Dementors have appeared - right in the Muggle community, if it weren't for Harry Potter, that poor Muggle would have been sucked out of his soul by the Dementors." "

"This can't be!" the boss grimaced, "everyone knows that the Dementors are all in Azkaban. "

"Then why would Harry Potter use a Patronus Charm in front of a Muggle?" Solim asked rhetorically, "Here's what I got the news: Harry Potter used a Patronus Charm in front of a Muggle, and for that, he also received a letter from the Ministry of Magic. "

"What did it say?"

"They're going to fire him. Solim said, "But then another letter was sent, and that's when the hearing happened." "

The boss was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your story is good, I like it." What flavor do you want?"

"Just another strawberry-flavored one. Solim said with a smile.
