Chapter 63: Convergence

"Ive~Betty, here—here"

As soon as the two arrived at Gringotts, Hermione waved and ran down the white steps.

"It was early," Ivey said

"I'm not like you, I can just use Floo powder. Just in case of being late, my parents drove to the Leaky Cauldron early in the morning. Did you two just arrive? ”

"We've all come full circle. Did you see the Weasleys and Harry? ”

"No, it shouldn't have arrived yet," Hermione shook her head

"What about Mr. and Mrs. Granger?"

"My parents are inside, exchanging gold Galleons."

"Then let's go in first, Harry, they guess they're going soon."

After speaking, he was the first to enter Gringotts. Hermione grabbed Betty and chatted after him.

The three entered the hall. There are quite a few people who come to withdraw money today, and the goblins at the counter are very busy. Without their daughter's guidance, the Granger couple looked a little cramped.

"Mommy" Hermione ran over

"Meet again—sir, ma'am," Ivy and Betty stepped forward and greeted each other.

"It's a pleasure to see you guys again" Mr. and Mrs. Granger had a good impression of them and were very welcoming.

"Are you in trouble?" Looking at the expressions of the two, there was embarrassment and anger. Ivey asked more

"Don't mention it - it's so Muggle-friendly here! We wanted to exchange some currency, but these goblins said that there were not enough people, and that we had to serve the wizard family first. Hermione grumbled loudly, glaring viciously at the goblin behind the counter, looking.

"Don't say that, they're busy." Mrs. Granger was also angry, but did not want her daughter to be rude, so she hurriedly persuaded her.

"I can help with this little thing."

Ivy led them to the counter

"Ding~" A gold galleon bomb fell on the table

The goblin, who was playing the abacus, was attracted by the crisp sound, and the fingers that plucked the abacus were stuck in the air, and the still body was like an old monk in a trance. The voice was so beautiful and familiar that I had heard it countless times in my dreams. You can't go wrong, it's the echo of Kim Gallon! It's the reason for its existence! After a short pause, they didn't see their movements, and they didn't even raise their heads, and Ivy and the others only vaguely felt a black shadow flashing, and the Jin Gallon on the table disappeared.

"Shadowless Hands!" This reminded him of his previous life, when he was playing games and grabbing treasure chests, his teammates also had this kind of hand speed. With a groove in his heart, he said lightly, "Exchange currency"

"Dear Sir, it is Lasu's pleasure to serve you." The elf named Rasu answered with a smile on his face. One gold galleon is done~ Whatever it takes to serve the wizard family first, it's an excuse.

Settle the trouble, leaving the Granger couple to continue the process, while Ivy and the others return to Gringotts to wait for the others. Fortunately, this time it didn't take long.

On the street at the end of the line of sight, a giant that was clearly half a body taller than the others approached with the flow of people. It was Hagrid, and the diminutive figure beside him wasn't Harry.

"Harry—Harry!" Hermione ran out again, and Ivy followed.

"It's too slow, we've been waiting for a long time." As soon as they met, Hermione began to nag

"I'm sorry, something went wrong," Harry was embarrassed

"Why are you alone? Don't you live in Ron's house? Didn't you come with them? Hermione looked left and right, but couldn't find Ron.

"That's what I mean by interlude. Originally, we came here with Floo powder, but I thought I mispronounced the name and flew to Tumbledown Alley. Harry scratched his head in embarrassment, and continued, "I won't tell you, I'll have to meet Ron first, and they'll probably be looking for me everywhere." ”

"I don't think you have to worry." Hagrid said with a sudden smile as he looked into the distance

"Huh?" Harry looked in the direction Hagrid had indicated

Ron, Fred, George, Percy, and Mr. Weasley were seen running briskly down the crowded street.

"—Harry," Mr. Weasley gasped, "Oh! Thankfully, you're safe and sound. You don't know, Molly is crazy - she's coming soon. ”

"I'm so sorry!" Harry hastened to apologize

"Where did you come from?" Ron asked curiously

"Tumbledown Alley," Hagrid replied for him with a straight face

"That's cool!" The name of the place excites the Twins

"Adults never let us go," Ron was also envious. In fact, if he really wants to let him go, he doesn't know what to do, but it doesn't prevent him from envying others and being able to do things that he can't do.

"I guess it's best not to go," Hagrid said with a squint, muffled

"That's right," Harry agreed. It didn't make a good impression on him.

"Oh! Harry—"Mrs. Weasley has arrived, too. She ran anxiously to this side, the handbag she was carrying shook violently. Ginny, who was being held by her hand, was struggling to follow behind.

"Honey - I'm sorry!" As soon as Lady Molly stopped, she took out her coat brush and began to clean up for Harry. It was then that everyone noticed that Harry was covered in dust

"Brother, you're not going to fall into the garbage, are you?" said Ron, standing a little further away to avoid being dusted off.

"Almost" was inconvenient to speak now, and Harry didn't explain

"Are your glasses broken again? Give it to me" had just cleaned up when Hermione discovered this detail

Harry took off his glasses and handed them to Hermione

"Restored," Hermione said the incantation, her wand on her glasses, and the glasses immediately became like they had been bought.

"Nice spell," Mr. Weasley exclaimed

"Thank you~" Hermione returned her glasses to Harry

"Alright, let's go shopping. I have to go," Hagrid waved his right hand at everyone. His left hand was being held tightly by Lady Molly ("Thanks to you!"). Hagrid! ”)

"See you at Hogwarts!" After saying that, he strode away.

Seeing Hagrid away, the group heads to Gringotts, ready to withdraw money for shopping.

"Guess who I saw in the Borgin Burke store?" As he ascended the steps, Harry said mysteriously

"What kind of store is that? Tumbling over in the alley? Hermione hadn't heard of it, but her mind was spinning.

"Yes. Muggles may not know, but the name of this dark magic shop is still quite famous among wizarding and wizarding people. Ivy explained, then said, "You don't think you're going to run into Malfoy and Son, are you?" ”

"How do you know! You guys went too? Harry was surprised

"We arrived early and went for a walk around Tumbledown Alley. I happened to run into them," Betty explained

"Wow! Dude~ Did you find any good things? The twins got angry and gathered around expectantly.

"Hey! Don't mess with it! Lady Molly scolded them away, and then told Ivey, "You are not allowed to go again."

Ivy and Betty nodded in response

"Did Lucius Malfoy buy anything?" Mr. Weasley asked sensitively

"No, he's going to sell something"

"He's definitely scared," Mr. Weasley nodded solemnly and satisfied, "I really want to catch Lucius Malfoy's evidence....."

"Mr. Weasley, if you need to—I can help you. I'd love to see Malfoy deflated," Ivey echoed

"That's great!"

"The Malfoys are not easy to mess with, so you better be careful," Lady Molly reminded. Let's hope they don't be careless

Upon entering Gringotts, the Granger couple had already finished their exchange, and Mr. Weasley looked excited to see them.

"Hello! I'm Weasley Arthur, and they're Hermione's parents. He greeted him familiarly, looked at the bulging leather bags in the hands of the two of them, and said, "Have you finished exchanging currency?" So, let's go have a drink and talk about Muggles by the way. ”

The overly enthusiastic invitation left the Granger couple at a loss

"Arthur!" Lady Molly reproached

"Oh-sorry! We're going to go to the vault first, and we'll talk later. Then he took the children and the goblins with him

"Aren't you going?" Ron looked at the three of them who didn't move

"I've already taken it, I'm waiting for you here," Ivy waved his hand

————

In just five minutes, they were back. After all, with the Weasley family's situation, it won't be delayed for long. After receiving the money, the crowd did not act collectively. Percy goes to buy a new quill, and the Twins happen to meet Lee Jordan. Mrs. Molly takes Ginny to a shop selling old robes, and Mr. Weasley pulls the Granger couple to the Leaky Cauldron.

"I'll just say it – don't go to Tumble Alley! And - an hour later, meet at the Blotted bookstore. Lady Molly first commanded the twins with a serious face, and then instructed everyone.

"Yes! Sir, mission is guaranteed! The twins straightened up, raised their right hands to their temples, palms facing outwards, and gave a military salute in a fake manner. This was Harry's birthday when he went to school on Ive's TV.

Everyone laughed and dispersed

After Ivy and Audio-Technica left, they were wandering aimlessly through the alley. Except for some necessary consumables, such as ink, parchment, etc., there is nothing else to prepare, so there is no need to keep the money.

So everyone bought a large bag of snacks and packed them in Betty's bag that had been cast with the "Traceless Stretching Spell". Each of the five of them grabbed a large piece of ice cream and browsed the surrounding shops with great interest.

"Ivey, you're growing up too fast! How high are we so much! Hermione said with her head held high in envy

"Really~" Ron gestured and began to shout.

"It's nothing, just eat more and exercise more. And so it was. ”

Of the men, Harry was the shortest. Compared with others, he can't eat first, and he is still in the development period, so this gap is even greater. The second is Hermione, who is considered a normal height. Then there's Betty, who is only a limited amount taller than Hermione.

"But I also eat a lot," Ron, who is a foodie, disagreed. He's a little shorter than Ivey, but his face is rounder than last semester.

"You've just eaten! Look at your face," Hermione said in disgust, reaching out and squeezing Ron's cheek.

"You have to take care of it!" Ron replied. Then he swallowed the ice cream in one bite and patted his belly comfortably.

"By the way, what are you doing in Tumbledown Alley," he pulled out another packet of weird beans

"Let's go shopping and see if you can find something good"

"But I've heard that it's all about dark magic items," Ron frowned, obviously not having a good impression of the place.

"It's really not a serious place, so I don't recommend you to go in for the time being. But you don't have to think too scary, these arguments have the element of false rumors, after all, many people are like you who just listen to others and haven't really been there. ”

"Did you find anything good?" Hermione was interested in Tumbledown Alley
