Chapter 191: Big Purchase

Taking the Granger family to Gringotts, the Granger couple were startled by the goblins coming and going in Gringotts, but Hermione was eager to touch them, but was pulled by Locke.

Leading the Granger family to the front of the counter, Locke said, "You take Hermione's admission letter and give it to them, and you can get the corresponding exchange amount." ”

After hearing this, Mr. Granger quickly rummaged through the bag he was carrying, took out the Hogwarts acceptance letter from it, and handed it to the elf in front of him.

"The current exchange rate is five pounds to one galleon, and students can exchange two hundred pounds a year." After checking the admission letter, the goblin in front of the office counter said.

That is, each student can redeem forty Galleons a year, which is barely enough for a new student.

Generally speaking, the most expensive ones are wands and textbooks, and in addition to the costumes and some magic prop materials, the new students need to use them are not expensive.

If you want to exchange more Galleons, you'll need gold.

For Gringgoland, the pound is basically useless and needs to be dealt with separately, so only students will have the corresponding exchange limit.

After the Granger family finished, Locke directly took out twenty gold bars and exchanged them for a thousand Galleons, intending to buy some needed things later.

Gringotts did not refuse to come to the gold, because of the large number of exchanges at one time, and also upgraded Locke to a big customer, and gave Locke a traceless extension money bag.

Traceless Extension items are strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, with the exception of a few organizations that are allowed to manufacture and sell them privately.

Gringotts' money bag has about three cubic meters of space, and it is not cheap to buy it alone, Gringotts is completely based on Locke's tyrant style, and it is given away for the purpose of winning over big dogs.

Walking out of Gringotts, Locke led the Granger family of three to buy all the school supplies Hermione needed.

In the process, he fully developed his acting skills, giving instructions and explaining everything in detail, which soon made him very close to the Granger family.

After the last school supplies were bought, the group walked out of the store and it was time to separate.

Hermione obviously showed a reluctant look, and her little face hesitated for a moment, just like her mother said, "Mom, can we invite Mr. Locke to our house?" ”

Madame Granger looked at her expectation: "Of course, Mr. Locke knows a lot, and if you spend more time with him, you can understand and get used to the wizarding world as soon as possible." ”

"Really? That's great! Hermione cheered with joy, then looked at her father again, and when he nodded, she immediately turned to Locke:

"Now, Mr. Locke, may you come to our house? I still have a lot of questions for you. ”

"It's my pleasure, I'll visit in the afternoon when I'm done here." Locke responded.

"Then I'll be waiting for you!" Hermione smiled at Locke and said, "You can also have dinner at our house, my mother's cooking is delicious."

When you come in the afternoon, I can show you my collection of fairy tale books and dolls, and I have many, many questions for you about magic......"

"Okay." Locke smiled and agreed.

After agreeing with the Granger family to see them off, Locke wandered around Diagon Alley.

Diagon Alley is a long and narrow alley with Gringotts at the end and Tumbledown Alley on the other.

He went to the Blotted Bookstore first.

The identity assigned by the system to Locke only gave some basic information, and he now needs to quickly understand the current situation in the wizarding world, and at the same time buy some magic books in the Harry Potter world.

These universal magic books can be purchased at the Blotted bookstore, and they are all available for sale.

After arriving at the bookstore, Locke waved his hand and bought a set of all the books related to magic, more than a hundred of them, and packed the daily Prophet newspaper for the past few years.

With such a purchase, the bookstore directly gave Locke, a big customer, a traceless extension suitcase, so that Locke could pack and take these things away.

After leaving the bookstore, Locke patronized several pharmacies and material stores in the surrounding area, bought a large number of magic potions and various magic materials, and even exchanged them for Galleons again because he didn't have enough money on the way.

After such a large purchase, Locke became a favorite customer of many stores in Diagon Alley.

After tasting an ice cream from Florin's Cold Drink Shop, Locke arrives at the Wand Shop and meets Ollivander, an acquaintance he first sees in this world.

"Hello, do you need anything?" Ollivander asked when he saw Locke.

"My wand broke from before, I'm going to buy a new one." Locke said.

"No problem." Ollivander nodded: "Please open your arms, I need to measure." ”

Unfolding the tape measure, Ollivander measured the length of Locke's arm and said, "I really didn't expect that you, just two years after graduating, would be able to kill a Death Eater in a sneak attack. ”

"I'm just lucky." Locke said casually.

"Okay, but you do need to be careful in the future, those guys are very vindictive." Ollivander continued to nag, picked up a piece of paper, and jotted down a few numbers on it.

Then he asked, "If I'm right, you're right-handed, right?" ”

"Yes." Locke nodded.

"I happen to have a good fit here." As he spoke, Ollivander selected one of the densely packed 'wand boxes' on the shelves and took out the wand inside.

"It's made of willow wood, unicorn tail feathers."

Locke took the wand and tried to communicate with magic, which felt very similar to the role of the ring, which allowed him to sense and control magic more clearly, and reduce the consumption of spellcasting.

Performing a levitation spell, the book on the counter next to it floated up and moved with Locke's mind.

In terms of effect, wands and rings are almost the same, and the final quality depends on the materials used in the production and the craftsmanship of the maker, as far as convenience is concerned, Locke still thinks that the Lord of the Rings is better.

"That's good, that's it." Locke nodded, manipulated the magic and put the book back in its place, ready to buy it back and study it.

"Very well, it looks like you've chosen the right wand, and the wand has picked you right." Ollivander said with a satisfied smile.

After completing the big purchase, Locke left Diagon Alley through the Leaky Cauldron and returned to his London lodgings.

If you pay close attention, it's not far from Glenger's house, and it's a villa specially selected by Locke.

Sorting and putting away the magic books he bought today, Locke began to read them one by one.
