Chapter 125: Blake

After finally completing all the formalities, under the enthusiasm of the goblins, Darren walked out of the bronze gate with the vault key and checkbook given to him by Gringotts, he was still quite excited, he didn't expect that we also have a vault here, although it can't be compared with Harry's local tyrant, but there are more than four thousand Galleons, at least much stronger than the Weasley family.

It is no wonder that the Malfoy family always looks down on the Weasleys, because it stands to reason that a family with a long history like theirs should lack money the most, because even if they only save one Galleon a year according to the most conservative way of saving, as long as they can guarantee an annual income of 5%, there will be 2,600 Galleons in 100 years, 340,000 in 200 years, and if they can hold on for 300 years, the family's wealth will exceed 45 million Galleons at that time!

Of course, from a practical point of view, I'm afraid the above situation is too ideal, but generally speaking, in the case of ensuring the continuation of the family, a family should always have some surplus, not to mention, in fact, the daily expenses of wizarding families are actually not large, in terms of education funds alone, young wizards go to Hogwarts for a total of seven years, which is much shorter than Muggles who have ten or eight years of basic education at every turn, not to mention higher education, and it has been said before that Hermione's college tuition saved will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

And during the school at Hogwarts, it was still full of room and board, plus the eldest and second eldest of the Weasley family have gone out to work, that is to say, after Ginny also went to Hogwarts last year, the Weasley family was left with the two of them to eat by themselves, how much money could this cost!

Even if the burden on the children was very heavy and the cost was too great, and the only thing left to spend on the savings in Gringotts was "a very inconspicuous pile of silver and a piece of gold Galleons", but why did he spend most of it on the family trip to Egypt after winning the 700 Galleons Award from the Daily Prophet this year......

Oh, this family is really a trip to go!

But Darren is not so chic, he doesn't have the background of the Weasleys, he is a serious pure-blood family of eight hundred, that is, Voldemort later made a high-profile comeback, they are nothing serious, Fred and George should do business, also in Diagon Alley, Ollivanders, who is honestly a wand, have been arrested, and they who are always high-profile against Voldemort don't even have a smashing field.

Even after the Death Eater attack, which messed up Bill's wedding and could have been used as a wizard's version of a textbook for targeted killings, Mr. Weasley was still working at the Ministry of Magic, and the ministers were already Death Eaters at that time! Mr. Weasley, who escorted Harry, didn't drink the Polyjuice Potion, and the Death Eaters wouldn't recognize him? Is he stupid or "he" stupid?

And Percy is also at work in the Ministry of Magic, and even Ginny is attending classes at Hogwarts, where the Death Eaters are stationed, and there is basically no big impact.

Although there were casualties, they were mostly caused by the hard steel against Voldemort, which was much better than other wizarding families, and the Death Eaters burned down Dedalo Dego's house just to find Harry, and used the Diamond Heart Charm on the Tonks.

So, Darren should work hard, Harry and Ron are thicker than the other, and if you just mess with them, you will have to mix yourself in sooner or later.

Next, it's time to deal with basilisk skins and snake teeth, although I don't know which store in Diagon Alley specializes in counterparts, but Darren thinks that it is related to magical creatures, and the pharmacy probably knows some, because he remembers that he and Hagrid have seen silver unicorn horns sold there, and Darren was afraid that he would ask for too much money at that time, and he couldn't explain it to Hagrid, so he went by himself.

Just as Darren was looking around for the drugstore, he unexpectedly saw a figure he had seen once but left a deep impression on him at the door of the Quidditch boutique, Sirius Black!

It's been more than half a year since the last time they met, and it seems that this time has given him plenty of time to recover, and his body is not as skeletal as last time, and he is much stronger, but his cheeks are still thin, and he is wearing a windbreaker, exuding a cold temperament.

"Sean!" At this time, Blake also saw him, obviously remembered his appearance, and greeted him first, "Didn't you come with Hagrid? Why are you the only one?" These contents were written by Darren in his reply to him, after all, wizards do not have mobile phones and telephones, and it is still very inconvenient to contact each other, so they can only make an appointment in advance.

"He came with me, but I told him to go back first and walk around Diagon Alley on his own. ”

"It's not careful, especially since Diagon Alley is next to Tumbledown Alley, and it's dangerous to walk in," said Blake, who didn't mean to preach, "It's a lot of courage to come to Diagon Alley by yourself at your age." ”

Well, this guy wasn't an obedient boy before, and it might not be a good idea to let Harry's bear kid follow him all day......

"So, where else do you want to go?" Blake asked Darren as he walked.

"I'm looking for a pharmacy, Harry should have told you, we killed a basilisk this year, I got some snakeskin and teeth from it, I'm going to get someone to deal with it and see if I can make something to use. ”

Hearing Darren's words, the expression on Blake's face suddenly became serious, and he frowned, "Yes, I heard, this time you are not bold, but stupid, you will actually go to fight a thousand-year-old basilisk, even if it is a juvenile basilisk, it is very dangerous for wizards, fortunately, you are lucky, nothing serious happened, don't do such stupid things in the future." ”

"Oh, I see, I promise I'm not going to do it again. Although the verbal promise was straightforward, but Darren was also helpless in his heart, if Harry was not so brainless, who would fight with the thousand-year-old basilisk, it was a real glance and death!

It seems that Blake also felt that his tone was too heavy just now, and changed the subject, "You just said that you have the skin and teeth of a basilisk on hand, and you plan to find someone to deal with them in Diagon Alley?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you know that the basilisk was written in Forbidden to Domesticate Animals for Experiments, and that the Ministry of Magic forbade anyone to breed it. ”

"You know, it's written in the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, what do you mean?"

"If you go straight to the shop in Diagon Alley with basilisk skins and teeth, there's a good chance you'll get someone from the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic and confiscate your stuff. ”

"Will they do it?!"

"It's not certain, but in my experience, it's quite likely. ”

What do you mean by "in my experience", Blake, what did you do back then......
