ALL NOVEL Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Gringotts Vault
But after the second grade, he broke out completely, not only in his usual studies, but also in the Quidditch pitch, he helped Gryffindor get a lot of extra points.
Even in his second year, he was able to compete with the most powerful Slytherin, doing his duty as a chaser and helping Gryffindor score as many points as possible.
“Well, that, I need to go home and discuss it with my father, but I think there should be no problem. I just hope that when the time comes, Brother Colt won’t dislike me.” Hermione replied in a low voice, blushing.
“How can it be annoying! Hermione is so cute, besides, in the entire Oxford Dragon Primary School, only the two of us became wizards and went to school in Hogwarts. If you can come to me, I will be happier. Woolen cloth.”
In this way, the two chatted and drove to the street where the Leaky Cauldron was located.
He parked the car on the side of the road, ran over and opened the door, “Master, we have arrived, do you need me to wait for you here next?”
After getting out of the car and waiting for Hermione to follow, Colt waved his hand, “No, we’ll be staying here for a while, and I’ll call you if we need a car.”
Hearing the words, the driver nodded without asking any more questions, “I see, then I’ll go back to the company first.”
“Well, you go.”
After that, regardless of the driver, he took Hermione’s small hand and walked towards the small bar in the middle of a bookstore and a record store.
Hermione, who was dragged and followed behind her, was flushed red at this time, but her heart was filled with happy little steps to keep up.
Walking into the bar at the entrance of Diagon Alley, the owner of the bar, Tom, was still the same. When he saw Colt pulling a little girl in, he simply asked, “Do the guests need anything?”
“No Boss Tom, we have to enter Diagon Alley and need to borrow the patio of the store.”
Tom nodded, “Whatever, you should know how to get in.”
“Yes.” After saluting slightly, Colt took Hermione and continued to walk behind the bar.
Behind the shop is a very dirty and small patio, and here is the only wizard street in England.
“This is the entrance to Diagon Alley, look it up.” Colt took out his wand, the yellow-white body, starting from the trash can, counting three dollars up and two in the horizontal direction.
“That’s it, remember?” Seeing Hermione nodding obediently, Colt continued, “Remember to knock three times, like this.”
After three taps of Colt’s wand, the knocked brick began to shake, and a small opening began to appear from here, and then continued outwards, eventually forming a path leading to a cobblestone-paved path. A street with no end in sight.
“This is Diagon Alley, Wizard Street. Everything we need to buy can be found here.”
“Wow, this is amazing.” Hermione exclaimed in exclamation.
However, her voice also caught the attention of the wizards who came and went on the street.
After seeing that it was a young wizard who was speaking, he understood the reason and continued to do his own thing.
However, this still made Hermione nervous for a while, grabbing Colt’s hand and tightening it involuntarily.
“Okay, don’t worry, the people here are still good, at least most of them are. Those hateful dark wizards will not appear here.”
“Well, dark wizard? A wizard who does bad things?” Colt’s words managed to divert some of Hermione’s attention.
“Let’s put it this way, well, let’s go to Gringotts first, where is the wizard’s bank, where we can exchange pounds for the coins used by wizards, but each wizard from the ordinary world can only exchange one dollar at most. One hundred gold Galleons.”
“Is that so? Is one hundred Galleons enough? When I came this time, my father gave me a thousand pounds. By the way, what is the exchange rate?”
“Well, the money you brought is completely enough. The exchange of pounds to gold Galleons is five pounds to one gold Galleon. You can still have five hundred pounds left, and the gold Galleons are definitely enough.”
“But if you want to buy things other than textbooks, you won’t have enough money, but it’s not a big problem. I still have a lot of gold Galleons here. If you don’t have enough money, I can make it up for you temporarily. .”
“Well, then thank you Brother Colt.”
“It’s nothing. In fact, if you want to exchange more gold Galleons, then you only need to prepare a certain amount of hard currency such as gold or gems. There are no exchange restrictions.”
Hermione rubbed her chin thoughtfully and nodded, “I see.”
Taking Hermione all the way to Gringotts, the place is still the same, with a large number of goblins sitting on the high chairs behind the counter, busy calculating and weighing.
When she saw the goblin, Hermione’s hand tightened involuntarily.
Perceiving Hermione’s nervousness, Colt also clenched his palm and responded to Hermione, which also made the very nervous little daughter breathe a sigh of relief, and her nervousness was greatly relieved.
Looking for a goblin who looked relatively idle, Colt took out a golden key from his pocket, “Hello, I need to go to my vault for some money.”
“Okay, please wait a moment, I’ll find someone to take you into the underground vault, Lasso!”
A goblin came over, apparently he was Lasso.
Led by Lasso, they entered the interior of Gringotts and got on the cart.
In order to prepare Hermione mentally, Colt approached Hermione’s ear and said softly: “This is one of the characteristics of Gringotts, it feels like a roller coaster in our world’s amusement park, but trust me, it is absolutely necessary. Much more exciting than a roller coaster.”
Although the tingling in her ears made Hermione very shy, what Colt said made Hermione have to be vigilant.
The roller coaster is already exciting enough, more exciting than the roller coaster, what is it?
And soon, Hermione saw it firsthand.
The extreme speed and the ups and downs of the path made Hermione, who was feeling it for the first time, feel terrified.
But fortunately, she was always in Colt’s arms, feeling the warmth wrapped around her body, and her fearful heart was greatly comforted.
This goblin’s cart, although frightening, has its advantages. It was fast enough. In less than half a minute, they arrived at their destination, Colt’s vault. *
