Travel from Hogwarts

"Third piece from the top, and two pieces from the side." Sirius didn't speak, but was counting the walls.

Drinker knew that this was the wall leading to Diagon Alley, so he was also staring at which brick it was.

"I found it, this is it," Sirius said after a while, pointing to a piece of wall.

In fact, real wizards rarely need to use this method to enter Diagon Alley. Sometimes they only need to cast a spell.

Drinker stared at the wall seriously and silently remembered it in his mind. He also thought about coming here later.

"Dang, Dang, Dang," Sirius knocked on the brick three times.

"Stay back and be careful." Then he said to everyone again.

I saw that the brick he had knocked kept shaking, and then I saw the entire wall began to shake. After that, the wall began to disappear. First in the middle, a small hole suddenly appeared there, and then the hole became more and more different. As it got bigger, the wall began to deform, and after a while, a wide street appeared.

This is a street paved with cobblestones. The street is graceful and long. There are many people on the road, and there are people wearing various clothes everywhere.

Most of them were dressed as wizards, with robes and long hats, but some were dressed in other ways, and there seemed to be a few Muggles.The various shops on both sides of the road were dazzling, and some items that Drinker had never seen or even heard of were sold there.

Everyone's eyes were looking left and right, and they were all shocked by the magic in front of them.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley." Sirius looked at the shocked people and said with a smile. Every year he meets several groups of Muggle families like this, which is why he likes this job very much. .

"Okay, without further ado, I'll take you to exchange money first. Also, don't get lost." Sirius said again.

Sirius led everyone forward. When Drinker stepped onto the street, he finally noticed movement behind him.He looked back hurriedly and saw that the wall behind him slowly became the same again.

"It's magic," he couldn't help but admire.

Next, he kept admiring Diagon Alley.

"Dragon blood, nineteen ounces per ounce," not far away, a fat woman shouted loudly in front of her store. There were many like her on the street.

"Oh, it's the latest Nimbus 2000. That's really cool." In front of a store, several children looked intently at the broomsticks displayed by the store.

"This is the famous Nimbus 2000. It's really good." Drinker was also attracted by the voices of these children.

He looked along the direction and saw a very exquisite broom. The whole broom looked very graceful. The handle of the broom was made of mahogany, and its long tail was tied neatly and straight on it.

The entire broom is very smooth, and there is even a faint halo on the broom.In Drinker's opinion, the Nimbus 2000 is not so much a broom as it is a work of art, a very exquisite work of art.

There are countless scenes like this in Diagon Alley.

It seems that Diagon Alley is very lively now, at least Drinker likes it here.

Everyone did not stop at any store and kept walking forward. Sirius led the way, speaking to Mr. Delins and Mr. Granger from time to time.

Drink did not join in their conversation. He was attracted by the dazzling array of merchandise, as were Hermione and Justin.

They walked for about ten minutes until they saw a very tall building.

The building was very tall. It was above all the shops. It stood there like a white giant.

"We are here. This is Gringotts, the bank of wizards." The conversation along the way also put Sirius in a good mood. It seemed that Mr. Delins and Mr. Granger complimented him a lot, which made him a little proud.

"Let's go in," Sirius said, still leading the way.

Gringotts looks gorgeous. Its buildings are white, which is obviously different from the surrounding ancient buildings.The door of Gringotts is a shiny bronze door. The bronze is printed with animals and patterns that Drinker doesn't recognize. It looks lifelike and has a lot of feeling.

Next to the bronze door, there is a strange creature wearing scarlet clothes and trimmed with gold. It is very short and strange, with extremely long hands and feet, a dark face, and a pointed beard.

"Grandma," Justin was a little scared when he saw this strange creature, and he moved closer to his grandma.

"Is this a goblin? Doesn't he look very good?" Drinker, who is familiar with the plot, naturally knows their identities.

Goblins are a unique race in the wizarding world. They are also one of the intelligent races in the wizarding world. Goblins are very ugly. They are more like goblins in previous games, short and ugly. In addition, Drinker vaguely remembers goblins. They seem to be very greedy for money.

When they entered, the goblin took the initiative to bow to them. This scene made Drinker want to laugh. He understood that this goblin was learning human etiquette. To be precise, it was the entrance etiquette of Muggle society hotels. .

In Drinker's opinion, their idea was good, but the way the goblins looked was not good. They looked completely unfriendly and even a little uncomfortable.

After entering the gate, Drinker saw the second door. Compared with the huge bronze door, the second door was less grand. This door was silver-white, and there were words engraved on the door. The words were actually Still in English.

Come in, stranger, but beware.

What is the end of insatiable greed,

Blindly ask for, get for nothing,

will be severely punished,

So if you want to take from our underground vaults a fortune that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned,

Be careful not to find treasure, but evil retribution.

Drinker glanced at these words and frowned slightly. "What are these words? They have no literary level at all."

This time there were two goblins bowing to them at the door. Just when Drinker was wondering if there would be three doors at the next door, they arrived at the hall.

"Well, it seems there are only two doors." Drinker complained in his mind.

Compared to the main entrance, Gringotts' lobby has a more modern feel.This is a very tall room, very large. The entire hall is made of marble, and there are gold, silver and metals that Drinker doesn't know about in some locations.

There seem to be a lot of working goblins here. There are more than 100 goblins in the lobby alone. Most of them are behind a row of long counters, with short bodies sitting on high stools.

Drinker was a little curious as to how such a short goblin could climb onto a stool that was taller than them.

There were many doors in the hall. Drinker didn't know where these doors led, but he saw goblins guiding people in and out.

Sirius searched for a while and then led them to one of the counters. He seemed to know the goblin on the counter.

"Good morning, Lar, I would like to exchange some Galleons with the Muggle family," Sirius said as he came to the goblin named Lar.

"Sirius, long time no see. I understand. Come with me." Lal looked up after hearing the voice. When he saw Sirius, he said hello, and then led a few people to the main counter.

This time Sirius was not with everyone, he seemed to be leaving.

"I won't follow you. My mission is completed. Next, you can just buy the items you need in Diagon Alley." Sirius said.

"Are you leaving so soon, Mr. Sirius? Why don't you have a drink with us," Mr. Delins said first when he heard Sirius was about to leave.

Sirius is the first wizard he has met. Mr. Delins still likes this guy he has known for a short time. In his opinion, despite his advantages and disadvantages, he seems to be a pretty good person.

"I think so too. Are you in a hurry? If nothing else, have a drink before leaving." Mr. Granger also said, he also thought the other person was not bad.

"No, you two, my work is over. Besides, I have other things to do, so I won't be with you. Nice to meet you." Sirius said, and then left.

"It's a pity, he's a nice guy." Mr. Granger said after Sirius left.

"Yeah, I want to ask more about wizards." Mr. Delins also said.

Drinker didn't pay attention to this episode. For him, he didn't like Sirius very much.However, he was still a little surprised that Sirius didn't ask for money from them in the end. He thought the other party would ask for money before leaving.

"Golden coins are Galleons, silver coins are Sikos, copper coins are Knuts, 29 Knuts are equal to one Sickle, and seventeen Sickles are equal to one Galleons." Everyone followed Lal to the counter, where Lal and the coins on the counter After the goblin fell asleep for a few words, the other party also took out three coins and began to introduce the currency exchange values ​​​​in the wizarding world.

"As for the exchange rate between British pounds and Galleons, it is five to one. Five British pounds is exchanged for one Galleons. How much do you exchange?" the goblin continued.

"I'll exchange it for two hundred galleons," Mr. Granger said. He had just asked Sirius, who said that two hundred galleons was enough for a first-year student.

"Then I'll exchange it for two hundred galleons," Mr. Delins also said. Two hundred galleons is one thousand pounds, and he thought it was enough.

"Let's exchange it for three hundred Galleons, Dad, I want to buy something else." At this time, Dan Drinker said. In addition to the things required by Hogwarts, he also wanted to buy some items for himself, such as books. of.

"Okay, let's exchange it for three hundred galleons." Mr. Delins also agreed to his son's request.

What everyone didn't expect was that Justin's grandma actually exchanged five hundred galleons generously, which shocked everyone. She originally wanted to exchange, but was stopped by the goblin.

"We can only exchange up to five hundred galleons, Ms., and we can't exchange it for another year," the goblin on the counter said.

After exchanging gold coins, everyone said goodbye to each other. They discussed it and decided to purchase items separately.
