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 that messed up Bill's wedding, which 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 at the end, didn't drink the Polyjuice Potion, and the Death Eaters wouldn't recognize it? Is he stupid or is "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, it was basically caused by the hard steel with Voldemort, which was much better than other wizarding families, and the Death Eaters burned Dedallow just to find Harry. Dige's house also used a heart curse on the Tonks family.
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, and apparently remembered his appearance, and greeted him first, "Didn't you come with Hagrid?" Why are you the only one? Darren wrote all these contents in his reply to him, after all, wizards don't have mobile phones and phones, 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 wander Diagon Alley by himself."
"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?" As he walked, Blake asked Darren.
"I'm looking for a pharmacy, Harry should have told you, we killed a basilisk this year, I got some snake skins and teeth from it, I'm going to find 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 won't 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 millennium basilisk, it was a real glance and died!
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 is written into the Prohibition of Domesticating Animals for Experiments, and the Ministry of Magic forbids 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 directly to the shop in Diagon Alley with the basilisk skin and teeth, there is a good chance that you will recruit someone from the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic and confiscate your belongings."
"Will they do it?!"
"I'm not sure, but in my experience, it's quite likely."
What do you mean by "in my experience", Blake, what did you do back then......
