Hogwarts: I really didn’t want to be the Dark Lord
Chapter 34
After a while, Xia Zhi walked out of Gringotts, surrounded by a large group of polite goblins.
There was no way, Xia Zhi was too rich…
When Xia Zhi took out the gold bricks one by one, the goblin who met him almost fainted with happiness.
When Xia Zhi walked out of Gringotts, his ring was already filled with enough gold galleons.
Xia Zhi took out the admission letter left by Dumbledore, and behind it was a list of books and equipment that needed to be purchased for school.
After a rough glance, Xia Zhi decided to buy an owl first!
Without an owl, there was no way to send a letter to Cassandra… and he thought it would be best to send a letter to Cassandra immediately after buying an owl!
Many times, you have to trust the intuition of a prophet!
Following the guidance of the map, Xia Zhi stopped in front of a store that looked very dark.
There were bursts of low and soft humming sounds coming from the store.
The sign in front of the door read”Eeyore Owl Shop”.
Xia Zhi strode in. The store was dark, with many cages lined up on both sides. In the cages were various owls.
There were gray forest owls, grass owls, snowy owls, etc. These owls were of different sizes, and even had different expressions and personalities.
As soon as Xia Zhi entered the door, he felt that he was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes. It seemed that the owls in the cages were sizing him up.
Xia Zhi was sure that these creatures were intelligent enough, because their gazes made them look like they were choosing their own owners.
A young clerk came over enthusiastically,”Hello, do you want to buy an owl or food for the owl?”
“Hello, I want to buy an owl, and of course, some owl food.”
The clerk began to introduce the owls in the cage to Xia Zhi. These owls were either strong and huge or small and exquisite. Some were arrogant, while others were lively and active.
Xia Zhi looked around, and suddenly, his eyes fell on an unusually lively little creature.
This was a snowy owl, but its body was much smaller than that of an ordinary snowy owl. This made it look like a snowball at first glance.
“This is it!”
Xia Zhi finally got this little snowy owl after paying 20 gold galleons.
It’s really expensive, but I have money now!
“From now on, you can be called Snowball.” Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Snowball jumped around in the cage, very lively, and seemed to be eager to fly into the sky.
Xia Zhi walked out of the Owl Shop with the cage, then took out a piece of parchment and tapped the wand lightly on the parchment.
Lines of words appeared clearly on the parchment, and then disappeared on the parchment. This was a little magic that he and Cassandra studied together.
When others read the letters written with this kind of magic, they can only see a blank piece of parchment, unless a unique spell is used to make the handwriting on it visible.
Xia Zhi didn’t actually want to be so sneaky, but Cassandra always wanted to guard against Mrs. Wally.
Xia Zhi wrote on a piece of parchment, then folded the parchment, let Snowball hold it in his mouth, and finally let it fly into the air.
This is actually really magical. Even if you don’t say it, they can know who you are sending the letter to.
Xia Zhi put the cage into the ring, then took out the list to study where to go next.
“Xia Zhi? Excuse me, are you Mr. Xia Zhi?”
Xia Zhi suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw a tall witch in emerald green robes looking at him with a smile.
Behind the witch stood a couple dressed as Muggles and a little girl with fluffy hair.
Wow, they were all familiar faces. But Xia Zhi shouldn’t recognize them now.
“Um, yes, may I ask who you are?……”Xia Zhi asked politely
“Hello, Xia Zhi, I am Minerva McGonagall, the Transfiguration Professor at Hogwarts. I have always heard Dumbledore mention you, and he is full of praise for your Transfiguration talent! To be honest, I haven’t heard him praise a little wizard so much in a long time.”Professor McGonagall smiled and looked at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi blushed and said embarrassedly,”Professor Dumbledore, you are too kind, but Professor Dumbledore told me that you are the best Transfiguration master, and I will learn more advanced Transfiguration from you at Hogwarts.”
Professor McGonagall did hear from Dumbledore that this year a young wizard with outstanding talent in Transfiguration will be enrolled. Dumbledore told her that Xia Zhi always has a unique temperament that makes people feel close to him, and said that as long as you meet him, you can recognize him in the crowd at a glance.
At first, Professor McGonagall was a little bit unconvinced, but just now, when she brought the Grangers and their daughter into Diagon Alley, she saw the big boy who was frowning and looking at a list.
That unique temperament, even in the crowded Diagon Alley, can make Professor McGonagall notice it at a glance. Although he was just standing there simply, he always gave people a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
So Professor McGonagall guessed that he was Xia Zhi, so she stepped forward and asked. The result was indeed as expected.
“Professor McGonagall, where are you going?”
“I am guiding Miss Granger and her parents to Diagon Alley to buy the things they need for school. By the way, this is Hermione Granger, you will be classmates this year. Professor McGonagall introduced Mr. and Mrs. Granger, as well as the future Miss Know-It-All to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi shook hands with them one by one. Great, it’s the movie version of Hermione. But Xia Zhi remained calm on the surface
“I am planning to take them to Gringotts to exchange for gold Galleons. Professor McGonagall is preparing to say goodbye to Xia Zhi and continue with today’s guidance task.
“Exchange for gold Galleons?”Xia Zhi pondered for a moment,”As far as I know, in Gringotts, there is a limit on the amount of gold Galleons that can be exchanged for Muggle currency, and there are not many gold Galleons that can be exchanged. How about this, I just came out of Gringotts, and I’m looking to exchange some Muggle currency now, why don’t I exchange it with Mr. Granger, there is no limit here.”
Xia Zhi did plan to make some purchases in the Muggle world later, and he really planned to exchange some pounds. Instead of giving those goblins a bargain, it would be better to exchange it with Mr. Granger.
Because Professor McGonagall was here, the Grangers were not afraid that Xia Zhi would cheat them.
“Of course, how much wizarding currency can you exchange here?” Mr. Granger asked. He actually didn’t expect to get many gold Galleons from a big kid like Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi smiled,”How many pounds do you have?”
“About a thousand pounds.” Mr. Granger took out a wad of notes and counted them.
“”Okay, I want them all. Here are 200 gold Galleons.” Xia Zhi took out a purse.
The exchange rate between gold Galleons and British pounds is about 1 gold Galleon = 5 pounds.
This kind of purse is produced by Gringotts. It has a traceless extension spell cast on it, and one can hold a lot of gold Galleons.
“Oh, kid, can you tell me where you got so much money?”Professor McGonagall couldn’t help asking. Two hundred gold galleons is not a small amount, and it’s obviously not something a kid like Xia Zhi can come up with.
“In fact, I have a pet, and Dumbledore knows about it. One ounce of its venom can be sold for five hundred gold Galleons.”Xia Zhi did not lie this time. He really took Nagini’s venom to Mrs. Volley to inquire about the price.
After professional testing, it was indeed this price. Therefore, even if Xia Zhi did not have the Philosopher’s Stone, he would not be short of gold Galleons, so he did not hide his generosity.
After all, Nagini’s venom can be packed in buckets here. ps: A belated chapter, let the data come more fiercely.
