Chapter 2 Master of Expression Management
The gold coins on the first floor spilled to Diana's feet, and Nix, who had been peeking at the moment, shook his head, and Tifa laughed.
The laughter woke her mother, and she glared back at Tifa, "Don't change your clothes yet." ”
"Kick, Kick, Kick"
Tifa disappeared in an instant, and Knicks didn't want to be scolded and went back to the room to get dressed.
Diana asked Jin Yan, "Why do I have so many gold coins at home, why haven't I seen them?" ”
Jin Yan: "In the basement! ”
"There's not enough gold in the basement." Diana had a look on her face.
Jin Yan spread his hands: "Master, have you forgotten your bag?" It uses a magic spell called the Traceless Stretching Spell, which expands the space of an item. ”
Diana didn't understand magic, and said to Jin Yan: "Put them all back, leave a hundred, no, five hundred." ”
Jin Yan snapped his fingers, and the gold coins disappeared, leaving only the five hundred gold coins piled up in the center.
At the door, Snape coughed and asked, "Hello, ma'am, I'm Severus Snape, Professor Hogwarts, helping you go to Diagon Alley to buy the items that the first-year wizards need to prepare." ”
There was chaos in the room, Diana smiled embarrassedly, straightened the sofa and said, "I'm sorry it's a little messy." ”
Snape's expression remained unchanged and he asked, "Do you need me to help you get back to the way you were?" ”
"No, no, I'll clean it up." Diana was even more embarrassed.
When Nicks went downstairs and saw that it was Snape, who was poisonous-mouthed and soft-hearted, he felt bitter, and he hoped that someone who could talk well and ask for magic advice, so Snape had better give up.
Seeing the busy Diana, he said loudly: "Mom, let Jin Yan clean up." ”
Diana's face was swollen and red, she forgot that Jin Yan could use magic, and whispered, "Jin Yan clean up." ”
Jin Yan appeared, snapped his fingers a few times in a row, and the room became orderly, with two cups of tea and a plate of small cakes on the table.
Tifa also changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Snape looked at the pile of gold gallons on the ground, and understood why the pure-blood family would write a letter to request, without adult wizards, the purchasing power of gold gallons is not clear, it should have been a long time since he entered the wizarding world.
Nicks looked at Snape's eyes, confused in his heart, according to the personality of a venomous-mouthed and soft-hearted old bat, he would not be tempted by this Jin Galleon, his private medicinal herb library is much more valuable than this, why is he staring at Jin Galleon?
Diana didn't go to see Snape.
She stared at the gold coins on the ground with some embarrassment. After seeing Jin Yan, he happily ordered: "Jin Yan, find someone to wrap these gold coins." ”
He muttered in a low voice, "They're not going to be heavy, can I hold them?" ”
Jin Yan disappeared with Jin Garon, and when he reappeared, he had an extra lady's bag in his hand and handed it to Diana.
Diana took it carefully, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not sinking, and when she opened it, she saw a large pile of gold coins inside, and she closed it again and shook it without a sound, satisfied. Turning to Snape, he said, "I'm ready, let's go." ”
Snape glanced around the room for Floo powder by the fireplace, a few brooms in the corner, and a doorkey in the display case.
"Ma'am, how do you want to go?" Snape asked.
"Professor, you decide." Diana looked at Snape.
Snape suddenly felt a toothache, this woman didn't mean to let him take the apparition to Diagon Alley.
I think that there are no adult wizards in this family, but there are house-elves, and the price of not understanding the wizarding world is understandable. It's just that the house-elves didn't tell them how to use the fireplace and broom?
Snape asked, tentatively, "Lady Lestrange, how about we take the public bus?" ”
"Okay." Diana strode out the door, with Nicks and Tifa following.
The Knicks were tempted to ask Snape why he didn't use Floo Powder or Phantom Shifter, how convenient it was. Thinking about it or giving up, the reason is simple, he is a child, no one has told him this, and what if he takes the initiative to mention that he is suspected of being a dementor by Snape?
On the side of the road, Snape raised his wand and explained, "As soon as the wizard raises his wand, the bus stops." ”
This is mainly for the Knicks, and only he meets the requirements.
Once in the car, Snape explained again: "Just say where you want to go and it will take you there." Leaky Cauldron Bar. ”
Announcing the departure of the bus, the conductor said to Snape, "Eleven silver sike per person." ”
Snape watched as the conductor didn't move.
Tifa raised his hand and asked weakly, "I don't have Yinsico, can I give you gold coins?" ”
The conductor saw the gold galleon in Tifa's hand and smiled and said, "Of course you can." ”
That's when Diana reacted that she should have paid for it. Open the women's bag, pull out a handful of gold Galleons and hand it to the conductor. "Four people."
The conductor looked at Diana for a while, determined that she was a Muggle, not a wizard, did not understand the exchange ratio of gold Galleons and silver sico, did not mean to insult him, and took the money.
Turning to Snape, he asked, "Professor, is this this year's freshman?" ”
"Yes." Snape cherishes words like gold.
Tifa started yelling, and she thought the public bus was fun when it started.
The little girl's "giggle" laughter was very pleasant, and the conductor conjured a flower and gave it to her.
Tifa liked it very much, put it on his head, and then thought of something, took out the gold galleon on his body and said to the conductor, "Give it to you." ”
The conductor was stunned, is this a performance in front of him My family is poor and only has money left? Is it insulting him!!
After seeing the conductor's expression, the Knicks thought about whether to make up for it, as long as he made up for it, the conductor should blow up.
Snape will save his life, but he can't avoid suffering, the wizards in England are all Hogwarts graduates, and the curse should be ordered.
Think about it, it's himself who suffers, it's everyone who watches the excitement, he's not a clown, and he doesn't want to use himself to entertain the public.
The bus quickly arrived at its destination, and under the resentful eyes of the conductor, everyone got off the bus together.
Snape led the group into the bar, and Professor Quirrell was directly across the door, his characteristic head wrapping to prove that he was possessed by Voldemort.
It occurred to Nick that Harry had also seen Professor Quirrell when he came, could it be that Harry had also come over today?
No, it's Professor Quirrell who wants to see Harry Potter and invade Gringotts.
He was able to find out exactly where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden, probably because he had used the Dementor Mind on Hagrid, and for Snape, he was not sure that he would not be found and would not do so.
The reason why Old Deng sent Hagrid to take the Philosopher's Stone was that Hagrid would not find out that he was being taken by the Dementor, and sent Snape to come, and Voldemort could only return with a feather. It seems that things were a conspiracy from the beginning.
Snape looked at Professor Quirrell with sharp eyes and asked, "Professor Quirrell, why are you here?" ”
Professor Quirrell stumbled back, "Because, because, one, some, private matter." ”
Diana grabbed Tifa, who was running around, and asked Snape, "Professor, what are we doing at the bar?" ”
Snape glanced at Professor Quirrell again, and led Diana towards the bar.
Coming to the back alley, Snape explained in detail how to enter Diagon Alley. Then the door was opened.
