In the departure room, three young people roam along the duty-free shop. The young man at the beginning of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was wearing a light tawny zipper jacket, the girl was wearing a simple light orange top, and the other person holding the lockbox was wearing a jacket that did not fit very well, which was the same color as the young man in front of him.

As it was dark today, Phoenix and his party were still strolling around the airport. They can't be blamed for this, because Phoenix didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to buy a ticket. Although the two agreed to grant his wish to fly to the United States instead of the faster Floo Powder or Phantom Shift. But when I arrived at the airport at noon, there was only a direct flight to New York after 10 p.m. that day.

Hermione vetoed Phoenix's use of the Confusion Charm to buy three tickets directly from the others.

"Why not?" complained Phoenix, "we can triple their price." ”

"It's not a problem," Hermione gave him a blank look, "there's personal information on the ticket, it's going to be found out." ”

"The Ministry of Magic allows wizards to use the Confusion Charm when they travel in Muggle vehicles. He argued.

"That's to get through customs. Hermione said, "You're going to have to fly, or we're all here by now." ”

Phoenix didn't reply, and walked into a luxuriously decorated shop. There were all kinds of exquisite watches inside, and as soon as he walked in, a salesman with a warm smile on his face immediately walked over.

"What do you need, sir?"

"Ah, here it is—I mean, it's a pocket watch, isn't it, miss?" Phoenix carefully considered his words, trying not to arouse the suspicion of the Muggles.

"To be exact, we only have watches here. The salesman was a little strange, isn't it obvious, but his face was silent, "Relatively speaking, the watch is more practical." You can see the time as soon as you raise your hand, and more importantly, our Swiss watches are all designed and produced by hand throughout the entire process of assembly, striving to create a global horological masterpiece that is admired by the world."

She passionately tries to get Phoenix to stay. Hermione, who was following behind her, didn't think so.

"Miss, what do you need?" another lady immediately greeted her.

"No, thank you—Phoenix, let's go. Hermione declined the salesman and said immediately.

"But I need a watch. Phoenix said, "Where's Harry?"

"He's gone to the bathroom, don't you have a pocket watch?" Hermione leaned over and whispered, "This is a luxury store, and we don't have that much money." ”

"Don't fool me," Phoenix said, in a low voice, "for such a large box of money, it is impossible not to buy even a watch." I don't know how to use Swiss francs, but don't try to lie to me with such an excuse. Also, like she said, I think the watch is more convenient. ”

Hermione pursed.

She had been some distance from them, and when she saw him turn his head, she immediately leaned back on.

"Do you have that, no electricity--telephone-I mean-" He suddenly forgot what he had read from the encyclopedia.

"Purely mechanical watches. Hermione said for him.

"Of course, please come with me. The salesman happily led them to a counter.

A spotless glass case with a wide range of exquisite watches. Harry came in with a suitcase and headed straight for them.

"Buy a watch?" Harry glanced at the price tag, dizzy.

Enough to buy 2 Uncle Vernon's business wagons, he subconsciously shook the box. Inside was the money that Phoenix handed him in the morning to buy a plane ticket. He wasn't sure how much money was in it, because when he bought the ticket, it seemed that he couldn't get enough money in it.

"Ah, that's it," Phoenix picked carefully, and after a moment before he spoke, "Oh, you're back." He whispered, "Is there anything in the Muggle bathroom—"

"Nothing, nothing different from Hogwarts, or the wizard's bathroom. Harry wouldn't have said that there were automatic faucets and hand dryers.

For a few hours now, Phoenix's enthusiasm for all kinds of Muggle products was quite high. Both he and Hermione were a bit frustrated, and although there were some jokes, overall, they were very boring. They went on and over explaining all sorts of things that would be commonplace in Muggle society.

The salesman took out a beautiful watch. The golden crown, through the crystal, reveals a part of the intricate internal mechanism directly on the silver dial.

This kind of openwork design, Phoenix is very interested.

"Is this good, waterproof?" he asked.

"Yes, sir. Water-resistant to 30 meters -- and this piece -- "

The salesman was about to introduce him when Phoenix interrupted him directly.

"That's it, how much?"

"Oh," she was a little surprised, "530,000 Swiss francs." ”

Phoenix didn't react because he didn't know how much it was, and he asked.

"How much is it in francs?"

"About 490,000 francs," she said.

Hermione tugged at Phoenix's collar and moved a little away from the counter.

"You see, about 40,000 Galleons, buy a watch?" Hermione whispered. The franc has a different exchange rate than the pound sterling, because Beauxbatons has Muggle wizards from all over the world, and in order to invest less in Galleons, they give a higher one

"I've always felt that goblins are the biggest profiteers in the world. Now I'm going to correct that Muggles are more than they are. Phoenix admits that this is indeed an exaggeration, "I don't think it's a watch made of a bunch of metal." Hell, it's more expensive than the firebolts I donated to the Slytherins. ”

"I don't think we have that much money. Harry discouraged.

The salesman frowned slightly. She could see that the two people next to her were dissuading them from buying, which was a lot of sales.

"Don't be funny, there's definitely enough money in the box. "I don't believe in a century when Gringotts doesn't have the money." ”

"You can't just spend it. Hermione said.

"Anyway, the money can only be molded in Gringotts," Phoenix said disapprovingly, "We offer an exchange service, but we throw money out for nothing." And it is impossible to exchange the money back to Galleon, Gringotts does not accept large exchange services. ”

Hermione knew that Phoenix always had a reason, and unless she was angry, it would be hard to stop such everyday little things. Finally shrugged his shoulders and agreed.

"Cash payment. ”

"Please follow me. The salesman immediately laughed and greeted them courteously to the cash register.

Actually, this chest is not an ordinary Muggle chest. There are two separate spaces inside, one for money, and one for a variety of living magical animals and plants, so that they can provide raw materials at any time when preparing potions.

Harry followed the code strip and lightly layered it, popping up a small card that displayed: Muggle mode.

They handed bundles of money to the cashier.

"It's almost not enough. Harry took a breath of relief, and there were only 500 pieces left in the box.

"Trust me, if you keep it well, there's more to it than that. Phoenix looked at the few bills left in the box and said, "Let's exchange them for dollars in a moment." ”

The two people at the cash register looked at each other. It sounds like they are putting a lot of cash everywhere, and it is really not distressing for the son to spend Lao Tzu's money.

"Okay, I just exchanged all the savings of my Housing Mutual Aid Association. Hermione said, "But we're going to hurry, it's time to board the plane soon." ”

Phoenix declined the package and put on the watch.

As soon as I left the store, I heard the sound of the announcement.

- Flight HO180 from Zurich to New York, boarding begins. Star Alliance Gold members and First Class passengers are invited to board first-"
