My name is Snape at Hogwarts

Chapter 17 Gringotts (please collect, please vote)

Looking at the white building in front of him, Snape's eyes were full of curiosity.

Speaking of which, this is also his first time to come to this famous wizard bank. The last time he came to Diagon Alley, he basically didn't take a good stroll around it.

The building is made entirely of white marble. The overall style is not English Gothic like other buildings, but more French domed. The decorations everywhere are basically gold, and even the pillars at the door are decorated with Some golden decorations.

Neat, generous, and gorgeous, this was Snape's first impression of Gringotts.

The elf doorman in a well-fitting tuxedo at the door was looking at them with dark eyes. Whether it was because of their appearance or because of their intentions, Snape always felt that they had some evil intentions.

Unlike Snape, Lily was completely curious and kept looking around with her big eyes.

"Yes, this is Gringotts. Let's go in." Dumbledore said with a smile, then took Lily's hand and walked inside.Snape was half a step behind them, following closely behind.

When the goblin doormen saw someone approaching, they bowed deeply, their long noses almost touching the ground, and they looked very respectful and polite.However, anyone who knows them a little bit knows that their respect is not for people, but for those little golden little cute people.

The golden door opened, and a warning sign was placed in the middle of the hall. It was very eye-catching. It was surrounded by tall platforms filled with goblins. They did not look at the visitors, but were busy with their own affairs. Some were observing gems, some were weighing metals, and Snape even saw a goblin studying a pound...

"Come on, dear, we have to change the Galleons first." Dumbledore said, and led them to a side hall in a familiar way.

There are not many people here, and there is only one goblin. He is sitting behind a table, taking out pounds one by one, flattening them, and putting them together solemnly. Then, he wraps them in paper and continues. .....

It seems like a very boring job, but this goblin does it with gusto and looks very obsessed.

"Good morning, sir." Dumbledore greeted.

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore." The goblin heard the voice, raised his head slightly, nodded slightly to Dumbledore, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How can I help you?"

"Excuse me, Miss Evans needs to exchange for some gold galleons." Dumbledore nodded.

"Okay." The goblin nodded, "Five pounds can be exchanged for one gold galleons. Each person can exchange for five hundred pounds a year. How much should I exchange for?"

"One hundred is enough." Dumbledore took out the pound that Mrs. Evans handed him from his pocket and handed it over.

"Okay, please wait." The goblin motioned to Dumbledore to put the pounds on the table, then took out a magnifying glass and examined them one by one meticulously.

Taking advantage of this free time, Dumbledore began to tell Lily: "Remember, one Galleons is equal to seventeen Sickles, and one Sickle is equal to 29 Nats. Excluding the cost of buying textbooks and necessities, the remaining Part of it is your pocket money. You know, this is a huge amount of money that will make your classmates envious."

After speaking, Dumbledore also made a little joke.

"I know, Professor." Lily's face flushed slightly, and then she smiled happily.

After looking at the pounds, the goblin nodded: "There seems to be no problem. Should these be exchanged for galleons?"

Dumbledore looked at Lily and motioned for her to make the decision.

Lily was a little confused and couldn't help but look at Snape.

Snape thought for a while and said, "Just exchange five gold galleons for Sickle, and the rest can be exchanged for gold galleons."

"That's it!" Lily said without hesitation.

"Okay, ma'am." The goblin nodded, then took out a bag from the table and began to count Galleons. This time he was very fast, and in a short time he had enough gold Galleons and West can be counted.

"Madam, you seem to need a money bag to store your wealth?" After the goblin counted the money, he did not hand it to Lily immediately, but started to sell it, "We have ordinary linen cloth For money bags, there are also exquisite water lizard wallets, but I highly recommend our high-quality dragon leather wallet. Although the price is a little expensive, it is definitely worth the money..."

The goblin began to introduce incessantly, as if the person who was slowly counting the money just now was not a goblin. Lily and Snape were both stunned for a moment.

What an eloquent person!Little brother, you really deserve to be rich!

Under the goblin's promotion, Lily bought the most expensive dragon skin wallet, which cost ten galleons.

However, it is considered to be a good value for money. The wallet is attached with the eternal traceless stretching spell, floating spell and flying spell. Although it is a little different from the "fairy special" mentioned by the fairies, it is still a pretty good thing. Alchemical items.

This is probably why Dumbledore didn't stop him.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the little girl's remaining money is enough for her expenses. Otherwise, no matter how good the wallet is, Dumbledore may not allow Lily to buy such a thing that delays her study.

Lily's money has been exchanged, but the group's purpose of coming to Gringotts has not yet been fully completed.

There is a rule in Hogwarts that if a student meets the admission standards of Hogwarts and is willing to enroll, but his family does not have enough money to afford it, Hogwarts can provide him with a tuition fee to ensure that If you successfully complete your studies, you can pay it off within two years after graduation. If it exceeds two years, you will have to pay part of the interest.

Snape naturally meets this standard, which is also one of the purposes of their coming to Gringotts.

However, it is quite easy to get this money. Dumbledore is the best sign. When I heard Dumbledore say this in the hall where I was receiving student aid, I took out one without saying a word. The dirty cloth bag was thrown to Snape without even looking at it.This business is simply extremely skilled.

"Although I don't want to say it, I still have to remind you, Mr. Snape. The cost is not much. I am afraid that most of your study and daily necessities will have to be bought second-hand, and after you graduate, you will need to return them. Hogwarts," Dumbledore reminded.

"Okay, Professor." Snape nodded.

Dumbledore smiled slightly and said nothing more. He led the two of them out of Gringotts and began a formal shopping trip in Diagon Alley.

"Have you thought about it, what should we buy first?" Dumbledore looked at Lily with a smile.

"I've thought about it, Professor." Lily nodded simply, looked at Snape, and then looked at Dumbledore, "I want to buy books first! Silver said that knowledge is the foundation of wizards, Silver It must be right."

"Ah ha, of course!" Dumbledore looked very happy when he heard this, "I'm glad you can realize this. You know, most wizards can't see it as clearly as you! Very good, children! Then, let’s go to the bookstore!”
