#78 - Chapter 78 Harry: Hagrid's thinking is a little unusual
Harry followed Hagrid through the bar and into a small courtyard surrounded by walls.
He looked around and found nothing but a trash can.
At this moment, Hagrid took out a small red umbrella and began counting the bricks on the wall.
"Harry, Sebastian told me you've been to Diagon Alley before."
"But this is your first time taking the Leaky Cauldron route, right?"
"Generally speaking, young wizards living in the Muggle world take this route the first time they go to Diagon Alley."
"Now, don't blink."
Hagrid, holding the small red umbrella, tapped a brick lightly three times. Harry held his breath and stared intently at the seemingly ordinary wall.
To Harry's surprise, the wall began to tremble, and the bricks seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, slowly sliding to the sides.
Each brick moved in an orderly fashion as if it had a life of its own, making a low grinding sound.
As the last few bricks adjusted into place, an archway large enough for Hagrid to easily pass through appeared before them, leading to the familiar Diagon Alley.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley, Harry," Hagrid patted his head, "Oh, I almost forgot, this is for you."
Hagrid rummaged around and handed Harry a letter.
"Your Hogwarts acceptance letter, it should have been delivered by owl. Open it and take a look."
Harry quickly opened the letter and read it carefully.
Uniform,
Textbooks,
Cauldron......
He read the notice back and forth, then looked up at Hagrid.
"Hagrid, do you have any suggestions for pets? I've prepared everything else."
"Pets?" Hagrid laughed, "You've come to the right person!"
"First, remove the toad from the list, it hasn't been popular for a long time."
"As for cats and owls, I suggest buying an owl. It can help you send letters, many wizards choose owls as pets."
"Send letters?" Harry was a little puzzled, "Aunt Mia gave me a two-way mirror before, she said I can contact her through the two-way mirror."
"A two-way mirror? That's a very advanced alchemical item," Hagrid muttered in surprise, "However, the two-way mirror only supports communication between two people."
"You will have many friends in the future, so it's still necessary to have an owl."
As they spoke, the two walked to a peculiar building. Hagrid lowered his head and said to Harry.
"Before buying a pet, we need to go to Gringotts first."
He patted his chest: "My job today is to retrieve something from here."
After speaking, he stepped forward, leading Harry towards the door of Gringotts.
As they passed the door, Hagrid pointed to the words on the door and said to Harry; "Gringotts is run by goblins, and they always feel that everyone is eyeing their wealth."
"So, they engraved a warning on the door," he curled his lips, "Only a madman would think of robbing Gringotts."
"Why, Hagrid?"
"Why? Because Gringotts' vaults are deep underground, and important places are guarded by dragons."
Mentioning dragons, Hagrid's eyes sparkled.
"That's a dragon, the most adorable, most beautiful, and most powerful creature in the world. I really want to raise one myself."
A question mark rose above Harry's head.
Dragon?
Adorable?
Beautiful?
How do these three words connect?
Harry looked up at Hagrid's majestic figure, and couldn't help but imagine a scene in his mind.
The tall Hagrid hugged a ferocious dragon in his arms, laughing loudly while praising: "My little Fluffy, you are so adorable."
Thinking of this, Harry inexplicably felt that the scene in his mind was not out of place at all.
He suddenly shuddered, feeling that Hagrid's thinking was different from ordinary people, after all, who would call a dragon an adorable animal......
Harry shook his head, banishing these messy thoughts from his mind, and followed Hagrid's steps into the hall of Gringotts.
After entering the hall, Harry felt blinded by the light.
Before coming, he thought that Swan Manor was luxurious enough.
Unexpectedly, there was a building even more magnificent than it.
The hall in front of him was spacious and bright, the floor was paved with smooth marble, surrounded by towering pillars, and the dome at the top was inlaid with sparkling gems.
The light shone through the stained glass windows, making the entire space golden.
So extravagant!
Harry couldn't help but complain in his heart, then looked at the goblins in the hall.
These little guys are goblins?
They don't even look as tall as me.
Harry carefully observed them and found that the goblins were short, with pale skin and sharp faces.
Each goblin wore a delicate uniform, held a quill in his hand, and quickly recorded something on parchment.
After Hagrid negotiated with a goblin, they got into a small cart led by a goblin and sped down the rails.
When the small cart stopped in front of a vault door, Harry felt a little unsatisfied.
This feeling......
Like a roller coaster.
It could even be said that it was more exciting than a roller coaster.
"Your key."
Hearing this, Harry quickly stepped forward and placed the key Hagrid gave him into the goblin's hand.
After a series of clicks, the goblin opened the vault door, revealing the scene inside.
Looking at the piles of Galleons inside, Harry gasped, he never expected to be so rich.
He grinned, took out the wallet Mia gave him, and began to stuff Galleons into it, while calculating in his heart.
Buy a bag for Aunt Mia with this money.
Send Sebastian a watch with this money.
Right.
And Professor Snape.
He sent himself a bottle of potion before his birthday, it was golden and especially beautiful.
According to Aunt Mia, that bottle of potion was extremely precious and could bring good luck.
In that case, he must show his appreciation no matter what.
......
When Sebastian received Harry, Harry was carrying a birdcage with a pure white snowy owl inside.
"Is this a gift from Hagrid?"
"Yes, I named her Hedwig."
"Very beautiful, you must take good care of her. What about the gift for Professor Snape?"
"Gillyweed, a very precious potion ingredient, Professor Snape will definitely smile happily."
Seeing Harry handing the potion ingredient to him like a treasure, the corners of Sebastian's mouth grew wider and wider.
Interesting.
This was bought with Potter's money.
When Severus knows about this, what expression will he have?
Joy?
Disgust?
Hehe, no matter what the expression is, it will definitely be very interesting.
I really want to film it with a magic camera.
Sebastian patted Harry on the shoulder, and then led him towards the fireplace in Diagon Alley.
Right, Quirrell will go to Gringotts today.
It seems that this unlucky guy will soon be possessed by Voldemort.
ε = (´ ο｀*))) Alas, Hogwarts is about to become lively.
In that case, I'll go to Hogwarts tomorrow!
Hehe he......
The Philosopher's Stone, here I come!
