Chapter 7 Diagon Alley

Hen Kun De Guo San Sui
"Okay sir, I think we need to hurry up, it's almost noon." After Dumbledore made sure that the things he brought over in his previous life were harmless, Charles took them in his hand.
Well, nothing strange happened. I just felt a little numb, but very comfortable. Charles looked at his haute couture and felt that there was nothing except Lao Deng's expression of accident and constipation. Then he went to give it to Ollie. Fande took a look, it would be best if he could use it, and it would be fine if he couldn't use Ciel, but what the hell is this illusion that Li Gui bumped into Li Kui?Ciel shook his head, drove away the messy thoughts in his mind, and began to urge everyone to take action, but he ran out with the wand in his left hand and Hermione in the right.
After the whole family had tidied up, several people stood in the yard and looked at each other, "How should we get to, uh,... Corner Alley?" Mr. Granger looked at everyone standing still, including Dumbledore paused, then summoned the courage to ask.
"Oh, I think we will simply go by car. I don't think I, an old man, know much about this. Maybe I need to rely on you. I do know the address." Dumbledore said teasingly, looking at Mr. William.
"Oh oh oh, wait a minute, I'm going to drive. I think we can sit down and go together. Of course, William and Hermione may have to squeeze in." Mr. William quickly took out the car keys and walked to his car. , what he bought was a large business car, which was very convenient and could fit everyone. Charles curled his lips, leaned towards Hermione, and whispered to him, "Hey, Hermione, I'll make a bet with you first." "Ling, it is definitely Mr. Dumbledore who has never made a Muggle car. I want to experience it, do you believe it?" Hermione blushed because she was so close, but then she was amused by Charles's words and secretly smiled. laugh.
"Haha, Mr. Charles, you should call me Professor, and to be honest, I am really curious about Muggle cars. Maybe it's because I'm older, but I always feel that the way wizards travel far away is a bit embarrassing. "Dumbledore looked at the two little ones with a smile and did not make any rebuttal. He also cooperated with the two little ones and complained about himself, making the two of them laugh non-stop.
After going through some distance, Dumbledore finally brought six people to the entrance of Diagon Alley. Looking at the slightly dilapidated Leaky Cauldron in front of him, Dumbledore felt helpless. He shook his head and then led the six people. Went in.
"Oh, Dumbledore, are you here to take care of the new students again? Do you want a drink?" Old Tom, who was sitting at the front desk, looked at Dumbledore with a look on his face and asked with a smile.
"No, Tom, I think we are in a hurry, maybe wait until I finish my work. Come with me, gentlemen and ladies." Then he led a group of people to the patio behind, "Look, from here Three pieces, count three pieces sideways and tap with your wand."
After Dumbledore finished knocking, the entire wall seemed to come alive, constantly moving and folding, and soon turned into an arch, leaking out the lively Diagon Alley inside, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining sounded like a sudden sound. The six people who came into contact with the magical world for the first time all looked curious, even Ciel, who had seen movies in his previous life.Compared to Hermione's family and parents, Charles had a little more expectation and excitement. These were all dreams from his previous life.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley!" Dumbledore said to them with a smile, "First we need to go to Gringotts to exchange some money. The currency of wizards is different from that of Muggles." With that, he began to lead everyone forward. Go to Gringotts.
"Mr. Dumbledore, do wizards also have banks?" Mr. Granger curiously asked the old wizard walking in front.
"Yes, sir, wizards also have banks, but they are controlled by goblins. And wizards' banks are not as complete as Muggles'. They only provide storage and exchange." Dumbledore still smiled and answered this one I didn't feel impatient at all about my son's question.
"Goblin!" Hermione screamed with an expectant expression on her face.Dumbledore looked back and smiled and said, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Miss Granger. Real goblins are not as described in Muggle fairy tales. On the contrary, they are extremely greedy for wealth, and they are also extremely good at taking care of it." Wealth, so wizards hand over their wealth to goblins to take care of. This is more like a cooperative relationship."
Charles, who was walking behind and looking around, glanced at Dumbledore, but did not expose his nonsense. He had read the original book and watched the movie, and of course he knew that wizards did not trust goblins at all, so they let them take care of wizards. Their wealth is due to the compromise of interests after the war. As long as the goblins dare to leak the slightest clue, the wizards will not mind directly replacing the goblins' position in Gringotts, even if they can't even count the number of gold Galleons. Let the leprechauns remain in charge.
Soon they came to the door of a silver-white marble building with crooked pillars. In front of them was a shiny bronze door. Goblin guards in scarlet and gold uniforms stood at the door, bowing to customers when they came.When they walked in, a second door appeared. The second door was silver, with the following words engraved on it:
Come in, stranger, but be careful what happens when you are too greedy.
Blindly asking for and getting something for nothing will be punished most severely.
So if you want to take from our vaults a treasure that was never yours,
You have been warned, O thief, that it is not treasure that brings you evil, but evil.
When Dumbledore led both families inside, they entered a spacious marble hall. About a hundred goblins sat behind a long counter and scribbled entries in a large ledger.Some use scales to weigh coins, while others use eyepieces to detect gems.Mr. Granger and Mr. William watched in amazement.Finally, under the leadership of Dumbledore, they came to a counter.
"Hello, sir, for these new students this year and their families, I think they need to exchange them for gold galleons." Dumbledore said politely to the goblin sitting at the counter.
The goblin raised his eyes and glanced at the wizard in front of him. Furui Mubo said in a sharp voice, "The exchange ratio is 1:5, and the maximum exchange rate is 100 galleons. If you need to exchange, please put the Muggle banknotes on the right side of the scale." The two families looked at Xiang Hu, and in the end it was Mr. William who took out a handful of banknotes and exchanged them for 100 Galleons, and then Mr. Granger also completed the exchange.The goblin didn't even look at the group the whole time.
It wasn't until they left the gate of Gringotts that the expressions of the two families turned into a smile. Hermione even held Ciel's hand and complained, "These goblins are nothing like what I imagined. They make people feel very arrogant. Very rude."
Dumbledore smiled and patted Hermione's head, which was a bit angry, "Calm down, Miss Granger, I don't like these goblins very much, but you have to know that no matter who comes, they are all like this Attitude, unless you can give them a big bag of gold as reward. Well, kids, I think we should start our journey to the diagonal. You all have the list. We can buy the robe first and wait for the robe to be made. At a good time we can pick out wands and then go to the bookstore to look at your textbooks or see if there are any books you like."
