083: A business worth taking a risk

Alan and Eddie breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Joel smile on the success of their prank.

"Well, that's an outrageous idea...... Allen said with a laugh.

Eddie began to kick the wall again in boredom, his mouth shattered.

When he went downstairs for dinner in the evening, Sergei pulled Joel in his hands and dragged him to a remote corner of the tower.

"Are you serious?" Sergei leaned into his ear and whispered.

"What?" Joel didn't seem to react.

Sergei frowned, "Don't play stupid, you really want to resell gold?" ”

Joel glanced around, where the Ravenclaw students were either eating in the auditorium downstairs or in the common room, where there was silence.

"What, you're short of money?" Joel looked into Sergei's eyes.

Sergei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "...... Right. ”

"Yes, there is this idea," Joel didn't ask Sergey CLBT where the monthly dividend money was spent, but squinted slightly, "I'm going to act on it during the Christmas holidays." ”

"Can you add one to me?" Sergei seemed to be very eager for Garon, and when he saw that Joel was relieved, he immediately wanted to join the gang.

“…… Just the two of us, without Alan and Eddie," Joel had already made up his mind, "they're too weak to cause trouble." ”

"No problem." Sergei raised an eyebrow.

"It's dangerous to go abroad for this operation, are you sure you want to come with me?"

Sergei looked at Joel's face and softly agreed.

"Do you have any savings?"

Sergei dug into his pocket and took out two silver coins from his robe.

"Just two Xike?" Joel was stunned, he knew that Sergei was short of money, but he couldn't have imagined that Sergei only had two sike on him, and Joel himself had saved 800 Galleons in dividend income so far.

"That's all," Sergei blushed, "don't worry, I'll definitely do more......"

"We'll have to borrow a little more," Joel pondered, "and we're going to make a big deal at once." ”

"Who do you want to borrow?" Sergey asked, "It's not good for us to explain to Alan Eddie." ”

The other two roommates are certainly not the right people.

"I have a way, let's go eat first." Joel pulled Sergei downstairs.

Back in the common room, Joel snapped a picture with Helis who had come out of the girls' dormitory.

"I have something I want to tell you......" the two of them said in unison.

Helis's eyes lit up, she glanced cautiously at Joel, and walked out after him.

"That...... You speak first. Joel leaned against the railing, and the night sky was shining brightly, and the stars were shining.

Haylis shook her head, "You can say it first, I'm not in a hurry." ”

What does this have to do with urgency?

However, Joel didn't say much, "Do you have any extra money?" ”

“…… Yes. Helis looked into Joel's eyes, "How much do you want?" ”

Joel was stunned for a second, "How many do you have?" ”

"Hmm...... I guess the money I saved since I was a child was about 2,000 Galleons. Helis bit her lip.

Joel took a breath, "Have you been in a hurry lately?" ”

Helis shook her head, "I've bought all the Christmas presents, I'll go to Gringotts and get them if you want them." ”

“…… Good. "Two thousand Galleons, that's a lot of money!

"Well, don't you ask me what I'm going to do?" Joel asked suddenly.

Helis shook her head, "You can't run away anyway, just remember to give it back to me." ”

It's okay if you don't pay it back, she added in her heart, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at Joel's more and more handsome face.

"I'll give it back to you after the Christmas break." Joel assured.

"What are you going to tell me?" After solving the big problem of funds, Joel's restless heart also quieted down.

"What, ...... you" Haylis hesitated for a moment, but couldn't say it after all, "Are you going to be unconscious?" ”

Joel chuckled softly, "I can teach you tonight." ”

He has not been idle in the past half of the school year, and has made great progress in courses such as charms, with a magic level that exceeds the average line and his ability to understand knowledge, even if Joel does not use the system in the future, the level of spells is much stronger than that of his classmates, and Helis who is rich in theoretical knowledge and lack of practice is not a problem.

The Christmas holidays are just around the corner, and on December 13th, the students catch the Hogwarts Train back to London.

Joel, Sergey, and Helis go to Gringotts in Diagon Alley to get money first, and Helis's brother Bernie is furious when he hears that her sister is going to Gringotts to get pocket money for Joel.

Bernie's insulting remarks finally annoyed Haylis, who threatened her brother that she would never cheer Bernie on next year's Quidditch match if he dared to say more.

Bernie looked at Joel unconvinced, his lips moving and moving, but he still didn't scold.

It was already evening in Diagon Alley, there was not much traffic, and there was no need to queue in Gringotts, so Helis directly took the key and followed the goblin to the underground vault to get a large bag of gold coins.

"Well, that's all my pocket money." Haylis swallowed the words "remember me" into her stomach, and she wished Joel didn't pay it back.

The gold coin bag was heavy, and he had to ask the pointy-eared goblin to hand the bag to Joel.

Haylis knew Joel and Sergey had something important to do, "I won't bother you, Merry Christmas!" ”

After receiving Joel's Christmas wishes, Helis huggs Bernie and jumps towards the Leaky Cauldron.

"She trusts you so much?" Sergei watched as Helis's back disappeared into Diagon Alley.

“…… Not to mention this, we still have a lot to do. Joel lifted the bag and placed it on the counter at Gringotts with a muffled thud.

"Can you exchange dollars here?" Joel looked at the old goblin sitting behind the counter.

The old goblin glanced at the gold galleon in the cloth bag, and held his glasses to hide his greedy gaze, "If you want to exchange gold coins for a large amount of Muggle currency, you need to apply to the headquarters for ......"

"How much does it cost in the middle, you name it." Joel couldn't wait, and the situation changed every night.

"3 points, I'll exchange them for you with internal authority." The old goblin whispered as he lay on the counter.

"Deal." Joel exchanged 72 gold galleons for 2,400 gold galleons, and Sergey didn't know what to say.

And this didn't do anything, 72 Galleons were thrown out?

When night fell, Joel finally finished the formalities and left Gringotts with a large roll of dollars.

"Let's go to Tumbledown Alley, Mr. Borgin Burke has what we're going to use." Joel said crisply.

After a big purchase, Joel almost bottomed out the remaining 400 Galleons in hand, Sergei's eyes twitched uncontrollably when he checked out, and Mr. Bogin Bock's excited eyes glowed green, this kind of large-scale individual customer is rare in ordinary days.

By the time they left Tumbledown Alley, scattered snowflakes had quietly fallen on the collars of the two.

"We'll stay at the Leaky Cauldron tonight and leave for France early tomorrow morning." Joel made the arrangements.

Going to France? Sergey was suspicious and followed Joel into the Leaky Cauldron.
