Chapter 6: The Potter Family's Vault
Out of the room, it was a bar outside. Although it was not yet ten o'clock in the morning, drunkards in wizard robes had already begun to appear in the bar.
After seeing Dumbledore, many people excitedly stood up to say hello, and the boss ran out from behind the bar and invited Dumbledore for a drink.
However, Dumbledore shook his head and pointed to Harley beside him, "I'm sorry, Tom.
I have other things to do today, and I need to take this young lady to buy her school supplies. ”
Boss Tom has been running a bar for so many years, and he is also a shrewd person. As the headmaster, Dumbledore has a noble status, and it has been a long time since he has personally taken a student to purchase items.
But today he specially brought a girl to purchase, the girl's face is still veiled, then this girl's identity is definitely not ordinary, maybe it is Dumbledore's illegitimate daughter.
After all, there has never been any news of Dumbledore being in love in the wizarding world.
So old Tom nodded, didn't inquire more, just said goodbye, and went straight back to the back of the bar.
However, his eyes had been quietly fixed on Dumbledore and Harry, obviously still with a hint of curiosity.
Harley naturally noticed Old Tom's gaze, but Dumbledore didn't say anything, and she couldn't say anything.
Dumbledore led Harrie to a small walled patio on all sides, and introduced Harley to her:
"The bar we were staying at was called Leaky Cauldron, near Charling Cross in London, with a bookstore and a record store on either side.
The bar was enchanted, so Muggles, the people who couldn't do magic, couldn't see the Leaky Cauldron. ”
Dumbledore paused for a moment, then pointed to a spot in the small patio, "The street where wizards are here is called Diagon Alley.
See that bin? Count three bricks up and two more horizontally, and tap your wand three times to enter Diagon Alley. ”
As he spoke, Dumbledore tapped the brick lightly with his wand, and the brick shook and quickly backed away from each other.
A wide arch appears, and in front of it is a cobblestone path.
Hallie watched with interest as she wondered how she could do that.
But come to think of it, it's still the apprenticeship route that is most likely.
If the audience reaches a high level, they may be able to exert a specific spiritual influence on the surroundings, so as to barely achieve this visual effect.
"Let's go!" Dumbledore whispered, "There's a lot going on today. ”
"Headmaster Dumbledore, where are we going first?" Hallie asked in a voice that revealed excitement and a slight fear, perfectly mimicking the emotions of a child exposed to strange things that only exist in fantasy.
"Oh, let's go to Gringotts first." Dumbledore pointed to a snow-white building in the distance that stood tall above the surrounding shops,
"In understandable terms, it's the equivalent of a Muggle bank. Your parents' estate, including the entire Potter family's estate, is stored in the Gringotts vault. ”
Harry nodded, keeping up with Dumbledore.
On the way to Gringotts, there are many shops. Many of these things gave Halle a great appeal.
There are three places in particular, one is a pharmacy, one is a bookstore, and one is an owl store.
The owls in the owl shop were full of energy, and Harley couldn't help but look at them twice.
There was a well-sized snow owl standing on the outermost, and Harry felt that the pure white creature was a good fit for a golem.
All it takes is a little black magic and a curse, and ordinary witches can do it as long as they study it carefully and practice it repeatedly.
However, Harley dismissed this idea, after all, the evil sounding dark magic should not be so popular in any world.
It's like not many people, except Russell the Great, like witches, are synonymous with evil and disaster.
So Harley was still not prepared to do this kind of thing that would scare and disgust many people.
Especially if she doesn't understand the depth of this world, if she is hunted down again because she is too evil, it will be more than worth the loss.
Dumbledore led Harry all the way to a bronze gate with a dwarf creature standing next to it. According to Dumbledore, it was a goblin.
After Dumbledore took out the key, the elf bowed, and then asked more, "Professor Dumbledore, do you want to take that thing from the underground vault of 713?" ”
"No, you don't." Dumbledore shook his head, "Someone will come and get it in a few days." ”
The goblin's face showed a visibly disappointed expression, as if he was holding a hot potato in his hand, but he couldn't get rid of it yet.
A goblin takes the two of them in a goblin transport to the Potter family's underground vault.
When Harley got out of the car, she swore in her heart that she would get more money and not come for a long time.
The Potter family's vault was filled with gold, silver and bronze coins, as well as boxes and crates of gems.
There are also several large cabinets in the innermost part of the vault, which are engraved with various patterns and exude magical fluctuations.
"It's all yours." Dumbledore whispered, "It's all the property of the Potter family.
Originally, your family still had a shampoo industry chain, but it was sold a long time ago, and all the money was here. ”
Harley lifted her veil and leaned slightly to pick up one of the coins at the top of the pile.
"This is Kim Galleon." Dumbledore explained the names of the other two materials and the rules for their exchange.
The gold coins have a special magic on them, presumably to prevent someone from forging them. Hallie's eyes straightened a little when she saw the gold coin.
After all, she was really poor. Wild Extraordinaires are too expensive, from buying potion recipes to finding the materials that exist all over the world, and getting life-saving magical items.
These big money eaters have kept Harley destitute, and they have to often make cameos in the Extraordinary who go the wrong way, or do some of the old jobs of Sequence Nine.
Harley put down the gold coins and pointed to the large chests in the deepest part, "Headmaster Dumbledore, may I ask what is in the innermost cabinets of the vault?" ”
Dumbledore shook his head, "I don't know exactly what it is, after all, those cabinets can only be opened by the bloodline of the Potter family."
But I've heard your father, Jaime, mention that it should be part of your family's collection of books, as well as some of the more dangerous magical items. ”
Harley nodded, not choosing to touch the books and magical items for the time being, despite her curiosity.
Dumbledore conjured up a leather pouch and a large wooden spoon and handed it to Harry, who was wearing a skirt that made it difficult for her to bend over or crouch.
Hallie packed a big bag of money, and Dumbledore, who saw it, raised his eyebrows again and again: "Hallie, you have to spend this money frugally."
It can be very uncomfortable to spend all that money before you graduate and get a job. ”
But Harley immediately pretended to be pitiful: "Professor, you know, I never had pocket money at the Desleys, so I didn't have a chance to buy the books I wanted to read.
So I wanted to take a little more money and buy more books to read. At this point, there seemed to be tears in the corners of Hallie's eyes ready to overflow at any moment.
Dumbledore's heart softened and nodded: "Since it's for reading, it's naturally okay." After all, reading is a very good behavior. ”
After that, Dumbledore stopped interfering with Harry's taking the money, and instead paced out of the vault.
Naturally, he didn't notice that Harley had picked out a few good quality rubies and stuffed them into a small pocket on the inside of her skirt.
