Diagon Alley is indeed the largest wizarding shopping street in England. There are crowds of people everywhere, and Hope looks around curiously.
Joey on the side was thinking in a funny way, I believe that what every little wizard looks forward to most is to have a wand, so Joey decided to buy a wand last, so he should go to Gringotts first. After making the decision, Said to Hope: "Let's go, let's take you to Gringotts, which is the bank, just in time to give you your admission gift."
Hope asked in confusion: "What gift needs to be placed in Gringotts?"
Joey smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you go."
All the way to a snow-white building, with the words "Please come in, stranger" engraved on the bronze door, but you have to be careful about what will happen if you are greedy; if you blindly ask for something for nothing, you will be severely punished; so if you want to get something from us, The underground vault takes away a wealth that never belonged to you; thief, you have been warned, be careful not to bring treasure, but evil retribution.
It looks like a curse. There are not many invasions of Gringotts. The only thing Hope knows is that a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the future invaded and found a stone, and then he burped. So it seems that the curse is quite effective. .
Entering Gringotts, there was a tall hall inside, with hundreds of goblins busy. They walked through the hall and came to a tall counter.
The goblin behind the counter raised his head and saw the person coming, and said enthusiastically: "It's Mr. Lloyd, are you here to deposit money today?"
Joey took out a golden key from his pocket and handed it to the goblin: "No, help me hand over a vault and get some money on the way."
When the goblin heard that he was getting money, he immediately became indifferent. He took the key and looked at it carefully for a while, then he snapped his fingers and a piece of parchment appeared in front of the goblin. The goblin handed the parchment to Joey and said indifferently: "Please ask the recipient to put their hands on it."
After Joey took it, he handed it to Hope. Hope took it excitedly and looked at it carefully. It was written in the language of goblins. He couldn't understand it, but the magic was that the magic told him that it was a treasury card. After accepting the contract and calming down, Hope asked with some confusion: "Is this a gift, a treasury? It won't be empty, right?"
Joey didn't answer, but smiled and said, "We'll find out when the time comes."
Hope thought about it for a moment, and wondered if his father could lie to him. He knew that the goblin's bank deposit was not only free of interest but also charged money. After putting his hand on the parchment, the parchment dissipated in the air. He Miraculously, I felt the location of the key.
After the contract was signed and the key was taken back, under the leadership of a goblin, the two of them rode the mine cart all the way to the vault. The feeling was like a roller coaster. After getting off the car, Hope felt dizzy, which was obviously the case. It's amazing magic, why do you have to use such a low method?
The goblin's explanation is that for the safety of the vault, a space sealing spell has been imposed here, and it can only be entered in this primitive way.
Hope said it's hard to comment.
Arriving in front of the vault door, the goblin introduced him very professionally: "This is a door mixed with mithril metal. It is very strong, and the door uses two-factor authentication. Only the key cannot be opened and the owner of the key is required. "
All in all, it was very high-end. Hope came to the door and inserted the key into the keyhole. The door slowly opened, revealing a large pile of gold galleons stacked together like a hill.
Hope asked excitedly: "Have you given all these to me?"
Joey said calmly: "Of course, these are yours."
Hope, who was not dazzled by money, accurately discovered the loophole in the sentence and asked: "Why do you say it was originally mine."
In fact, Joey didn't expect so much money. At first, he just thought Hope's writing was more interesting. In order to prevent these stories from being buried, the couple changed the background of the story from the Muggle world to the wizarding world. The Muggle world has not released it. He was afraid that Hope would be angry and stop following the new information after finding out. Unexpectedly, these things were very popular in the wizarding world that lacked entertainment, and once exceeded the adventure autobiography of a certain White Teeth author.
With more and more money, the couple became more and more guilty, feeling like vicious parents who had plagiarized their son's ideas. They planned to hand it over to Hope when he became a wizard. Anyway, their son made them worry-free and believed that he could also He won't spend money randomly. If he doesn't, he will treat his son as a filial son and respect his parents. He doesn't know anyway.
But the sooner you know about this kind of thing, the better, after all, this kind of thing is too embarrassing.
Joey coughed guiltily and said vaguely: "You will know later."
Joey handed Hope a cloth bag and said, "Take some money and let's go shopping."
Hope didn't pay attention to Joey's vague words. After all, the money was not fake. Who cares? If you don't want it, that would be disrespect for money. He took the bag and filled it with several handfuls, about a hundred or more. The look of one.
The first thing to do is to buy a robe. It takes a lot of time to make a customized robe.
When they arrived at Mrs. Malkin's robe store, the store manager Mrs. Malkin first warmly welcomed them. Then she was surprised that Joey actually had a son. After wishing Hope a happy school, she began to measure Hope. , while complaining to Joy that the surprise inspections conducted by their Aurors had caused her store to lose customers.
Joey on the side apologized awkwardly. After receiving the notice that he would pick up new clothes in two hours, Joey took Hope out of the robe shop like flying.
Hope looked at Joey with pity: "You Auror is quite offensive."
Joey said very sadly: "Forget it, a large smuggling gang came to England recently. The newly appointed Minister of Magic seemed to be in a daze to conduct a surprise inspection. Those are criminals, how could they get together and go shopping in such a arrogant way? It’s useless except to scare the snake away.”
Following Joey's complaints, the two came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses chatting with the clerk.
Hope felt that Joey didn't want to see the middle-aged uncle wearing glasses, because the moment he saw the middle-aged uncle wearing glasses, he heard Joey whisper "bad luck" and wanted to pull him away.
It's a pity that Joey didn't succeed. When the man with glasses saw Joey, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Hey, Joey is here for another surprise inspection."
Joey smacked his lips and replied enthusiastically: "Hey, Amos, good afternoon. I don't have any tasks today. I brought my son here to buy things. He will enter school this year." He patted Hope on the shoulder and said: " My son Hope.”
Then he introduced to Hope: "This Amos Diggory, my colleague, works in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."
Hope said very politely: "Hello Uncle Amos."
It was obvious that Amos didn't know about Hope's existence, and asked in surprise: "You actually have a son?"
Hope is used to this. Everyone who has met him says so. I can only say that his parents did a good job of keeping it secret. If he really didn't have wizard talent, he really wouldn't have told me anything.
