Ernie was not the only classmate they met in Diagon Alley.
Many little wizards from Hogwarts come here to shop with their parents on the weekend before school starts.
In addition to those they didn’t know, they also met their roommate Seamus and the twins’ good friend Li Jordan here.
After Harry said hello to Hufflepuff's Finlay, he turned his head and saw Cho Chang walking into the Owl Shop accompanied by an elegant man with an Asian face.
He subconsciously curled up his neck and turned his head, and in a blink of an eye, he found Ginny and Hermione looking at him with contempt in their eyes
In any case, the building of Gringotts It is the tallest building in Diagon Alley, and even if it is replaced by a tent, it is still the largest one among the tents.
There is no longer a warning at the entrance to the tent, but a notice.
“Due to the Battle of Diagon Alley, there were many cracks in the underground vault, which are currently being repaired. For the safety of our valued customers:
Customers who handle money withdrawals, Gringotts staff will always go to the underground vault to withdraw money.
Gringotts will continue to protect the wealth of all distinguished users. Thank you for your cooperation! ”
Hermione whispered. Read out the sentences on the notice.
"It saves trouble, doesn't it?"
Ron shrugged fearlessly,
"I'd rather eat Bibi's multi-flavored beans until I get a booger." I don't want to take the Gringotts car."
"Oh, you are so disgusting, Ron!"
Ginny rolled her eyes at Ron.
In any case, it is still difficult to move the majestic and solemn hall of Gringotts into a tent.
Although the overall shape is similar, the space is still quite cramped.
They followed the team and squirmed hard. Ginny, who was squeezed into Harry's arms, blushed all the way to her neck, and felt the softness rubbing against her chest, floating under his nose like a tease. With his hair floating away, Harry felt like he was under some kind of black magic, and blood rushed to his head one after another.
Even Qiu Zhang's gentle face, which he had just seen briefly, became insignificant in Harry's mind.
"Speaking of it, Harry"
Ron, who was right behind Harry, did not notice the strange expression on Harry's face. He looked at the counter in front of him.
A wizard was haggling with the goblin over several pieces of rubies that were as bright as coals. Finally, the two parties reached an agreement. The goblin took out an exquisite wooden box from under the counter. When he opened it, he saw a pile of sharp rubies inside. It fell to the table with a clatter.
Ron looked at the wizard who was checking the quality of the gold coins with envy,
"I never knew how much gold your parents left you?"
Hermione didn't look surprised, she rubbed Ron's back,
"That's Harry's privacy, Ron, youYou shouldn't ask this! "
"Oh, it's okay, Hermione"
Harry gasped, recalling the amount of wealth in his vault,
"To be honest, I I’m not sure, Ron, I’ve never counted it, but it’s probably tens of thousands? ”
Don’t talk about Ron, even Fred and George flashed with envy in their eyes.
In order to make it easier for wizards to withdraw money, the goblins moved into a small room behind the hall. Several large boxes of gold were brought in, and they were paid in advance.
So, Harry quickly got enough gold for an entire school year.
It’s always a pleasure to hold a bag of gold in your hands. I stayed in Grimmauld Place for two months, except for a trip to the Ministry of Magic for trial, a trip to St. Mungo’s to see Mr. Weasley and a quick trip to Diagon Alley. Outside.
Harry only wandered around the square near his old house this summer.
He couldn't wait to go out and spend money.
However, Wei. Mrs. Sly encountered a little controversy when withdrawing the money.
"Judging from the book list sent by Hogwarts, you don't need to buy any new books. This can save a fortune. Oh, But you all need to change your robes and buy some materials. Ginny’s cauldron is no longer usable, and you need to buy a new one."
Mrs. Weasley counted the accounts on her fingers.
"I can buy it myself, Mom"
Ginny said thoughtfully,
"I haven't spent much of the winnings I got from the competition! "
"Oh, dear, that's your own money, you can use it elsewhere. It is my and your father's duty to provide you with school supplies."
Mrs. Weasley looked at Ginny with loving eyes and rubbed her thick red hair.
This Watching this scene, Ron was indignant. When Mrs. Weasley was negotiating with the goblin, he turned his head and wrinkled his nose and complained to Hermione, who raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms.
"Oh, then why do I?" You have to spend your own gold to buy a broom. You also need to apply in advance! "
"It's very simple, little fool"
George also followed Mrs. Weasley's example, ruffled Ron's hair and said with a smile,
< p>"Because dad and mom don't have that much gold in their treasury for you to squander. ”Surprisingly, Hermione withdrew a full thousand Galleons from her account. For this, she had to spend an extra dozen Galleons to buy one from the goblin. Special purse to hold the gold.
"What are you going to do, Hermione?"
Harry looked at Hermione who was weighing her money bag in surprise,
“Are you planning to clear out the inventory of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore? ”
“Oh. This is my privacy, Harry, don't ask any more questions. ”
Hermione said slightly rudely.
Going to Madam Malkin’s Robe Shop to buy robes was their last group activity.
Seems to know These adolescent boys and girls had a broken door at home, so, Mrs. Weasley graciously allowed Harry and the others to move around freely, while she took Ginny to buy a cauldron.
Fred and George disappeared in a flash.
Hermione was not very interested in Ron buying a broom. Just as Harry expected, when she found the tent at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, she ducked in and ignored them. .
"Let's go"
Ron anxiously pulled Harry to the Quidditch boutique,
"It took too much time, Ernie They must have been waiting for me!"
They were delayed in the Quidditch boutique for much longer than expected.
Harry only spent a little time to replenish some consumables for his broomstick maintenance box. It was just Ron's hesitation between the Sideswipe and Comet series, so he had to go with Ernie. Help with ideas.
When Ron walked out of the Quidditch boutique with the first serious Quidditch broom in his life, the sun had already risen above their heads.
After that, Ernie parted ways with them.
Ron suggested that they go to the Leaky Cauldron tent for a glass of butterbeer while everyone was away, just to celebrate his first broomstick.
Of course Harry would have no objection. They searched among the tents for a while before finding the Leaky Cauldron tent.
Like most shops, the Leaky Cauldron was built on the same site, but the gateway to the Muggle world was destroyed.
"How's business, Tom?"
Harry was also an acquaintance of the owner of the Leaky Cauldron. He once lived on the second floor of his pub for almost a month. .
"Oh, Mr. Potter, is it you?"
In the tent, which is brighter than the original bar, there are indeed some guests, but they are basically parents with their children. During lunch, the original beautiful scenery of the Leaky Cauldron disappeared.
Behind the bar, Tom was wiping his wine glasses out of boredom. The sunlight that followed Harry and Ron into the bar made Old Tom squint his eyes.
After he saw Harry's face clearly, Old Tom immediately walked out from behind the bar and came to them. < /p>
“In this terrible world, most people are not very willing to stay outside for a long time
So, no one comes to my place to drink at all now. Those who come here can only eat something and then Just leave in a hurry. To be honest, I really miss my old bar, but the Ministry of Magic said that it will take at least half a year to return the original Diagon Alley to us."
"That's fast enough."
Ron said,
"Think about the Quidditch field last year. It took hundreds of Ministry of Magic staff half a year to build that field. NowThey definitely can't allocate so many people"
"The key is"
Harry was more concerned about this issue because it involved Professor Blaine. He looked at Old Tom with concern. ,
"Does the ministry provide any compensation for your losses? "The end of this chapter has recently been severely transcoded, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
