Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 79 Gringotts

Although Winters was reluctant to leave Hogwarts, he could only accept the reality.After he packed his things, he carried his suitcase to the Hogwarts platform.Many friends were already waiting for him at Hogwarts Station.But he only didn't see Aurora.

"Aurora was very depressed. She said she would write to you," said Hermione.

"It's not easy to leave a familiar environment and adapt to a new one, but it's also something that can't be helped." Elsa shook her head slightly.

"You don't have to worry about whether Aurora will be troubled by problems she doesn't know how to solve. We will help her," Elena said affirmatively.At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Krall and Mr. and Mrs. Eisen arrived.

"Winters, you must listen to the Kralls. The Triwizard Tournament is very dangerous." Mary looked at Winters anxiously.

"It is indeed very dangerous without targeted training, but it is not necessarily so if the training is sufficient," Locke said confidently.And Lisa couldn't agree more with her husband.

"Locke and I are very happy to see that you can give us full trust. Winters has extraordinary talent. As long as he is properly trained, he will definitely get through this difficulty safely." Lisa said sincerely explain.

"Winters, this is a world where there are not so many wishful thinking. I just told Mary that a new environment might be more beneficial to your growth." Jack knelt down and looked at his adopted son carefully.

"If you have anything on your mind, you can write or call us to tell us." Mary also looked at Winters carefully.

By this time, the train had arrived at the station, and Winters could only reluctantly say goodbye to the Eisens and his friends.There were so many people on the train, and the Dark Mark that appeared on the Golden Snitch Cup was still on the front page of the newspaper.

"Want something to eat?" Lisa asked.Winters first thought Lisa was asking her husband.But unexpectedly, Lisa asked him about himself.

"Obviously, Lisa wouldn't care so much about me," Locke said jokingly.

"If you were as old as Winters, I might care more about you" Lisa laughed.

"Well... I'm not hungry." Winters tried to explain the embarrassment he had just caused.

"You're not hungry, but you're still not in the mood to eat. It's already noon, and your mother told me that you usually eat tortillas and bacon for lunch," Lisa said gently.

"Oh... Okay. Let's make things clear... How about we go to Gringotts first. You will make it difficult for us to start our future work."

"Locke, what are you talking about? I said, I don't want to hear any words about money."

"But, Lisa. I may be exaggerating, Winters... Winters, I sincerely hope you will tell the truth. Are you very resistant to this journey?" Locke's tone was very sincere.

"I..." All Winters could think about was returning to Hogwarts as soon as possible.

"Winters, I hope you can tell the truth. Don't consider our feelings. The Triwizard Tournament is very dangerous, and only through full preparation can the risk be reduced. I really don't want the Eisens to cry in tears "Wash your face" Lisa is serious but very sincere.

"I'm really not used to it, and I always feel... Sigh... I always feel like I owe you something like this," Winters said, lowering his head.

"Okay, let's go to Gringotts first. No wonder Mary said you were sensitive," Lisa said, shaking her head.

"You said you would be indebted to us. You might as well say you don't like to owe strangers favors." Locke was not particularly surprised.

"I will truthfully inform Mr. and Mrs. Eisen of your thoughts. They are your legal guardians." Lisa agreed with her husband's idea.

"Yes, the first step in communication is to open your heart. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but the hardest step has been passed. Then we will do what you want.

But I hope you understand that if you do this, it will give the Eisens a lot of negative thoughts.They're definitely going to guess whether there's enough money and whether we're going to do our best, and that's going to be a struggle for them," Locke asked Winters again.

"Let's go to Gringotts first... They may have already guessed it now... I have heard a saying, the free one is the most expensive." Winters was very conflicted in his heart, but he still obeyed from the beginning. idea.

"Then it's settled, let's go to Gringotts first. So, are you hungry now? I can hear someone's stomach growling." When Lisa spoke, Winters' stomach made an unsatisfactory growl.

"Yes, then I'm going to buy lunch." Lisa laughed, and then she left her seat and went to the dining car.

"I heard from Elena that you often stayed in the library at Hogwarts and were fascinated by obscure ancient documents."

"Yes, sir"

“那我要把一些规矩讲清楚了。每天早上6:30——7:20是体能训练时间。魔咒，变形术，黑魔法防御术，这些基础课程是早上8点到中午11:20开始特训。

草药学，魔药学，神奇动物学，是下午2:20到晚上6:00。然后晚上6:30－7:20是学习如果辨识方位。至于作业，则是根据你的训练结果而定。

Rest at 10pm at the latest. We will not allow you to stay up late.If you have any questions, be sure to ask questions in time.

As for ancient documents, they are all dark and profound ancient knowledge.We will intersperse that knowledge with you based on your learning progress." Locke looked at Winters seriously.

"I understand, Mr. Kral" Winters nodded vigorously.

"It will be very tiring and hard. But I believe that as long as you listen carefully to the class, it will not be difficult for you to master this knowledge." While they were talking, Lisa came back with her lunch.

"It's time to eat, you two. I heard you setting rules for Winters when I was a few meters away from here. You really know how to seize the moment." Lisa laughed.

"Albus said time was tight, but I couldn't help it - oranges were stuffed into the apple pie. The chef on the train had such a strange idea," Locke said with a smile.

"Whether time is really tight depends on the ability of the instructor and the talent of the students. The 70-day preparation time is enough for us and Winters. Eat it quickly, Winters, the tortillas will not taste good when they are cold. Lisa said with a smile.

Winters finally chose to succumb to reality. It might be difficult for him to stay at Hogwarts this school year.In this case, don't wrong yourself.

"It tastes like Hogwarts." Winters ate the tortillas, but he felt a little confused.

Lisa Krall wrote a letter to Winters' adoptive parents on the train, and then asked the train conductor to mail the letter to Winters' adoptive parents.

The scenery outside the window is constantly changing, from mountains and rivers, to fields and countryside, to busy metropolises.Finally, they arrived at Nomico City at 4 p.m.

Nomico City is located in the south-central part of the Republic of Alfrans. It is a large city that starts from the financial industry. Gringotts' largest savings center is located here.

"We'll leave tomorrow. Now let's find a hotel to stay in," Locke said.

"Let's go to the Haute Express Hotel, because what I wrote in the letter is the Haote Express Hotel closest to the station. Moreover, I wrote down the exact address," Lisa said.

"It was an old brand," Mr. Kral recalled.

"You often stay in hotels of this brand when you are on business trips. There is only one reason. This hotel will give away a small glass of blueberry wine to regular customers every night."

"How do you know?" Locke was very surprised.

"I went on a trip with you two years ago, and you couldn't walk when you saw Haute Express Hotel. Your memory is fading a bit fast." Lisa laughed.

"Alas...it seems that I am getting old," Mr. Kral sighed.

"I think you're fine as long as you're not old," Lisa said simply.

They had dinner on the second floor of the hotel that night, but unexpectedly they met Slaer's father. He seemed to have something to do at work, and it was urgent.

"I'll take Winters for a walk around the area." Lisa felt the same as Ming Jing.

"Don't go too far, there are a lot of things going on recently," Locke warned.

Lisa took Winters to the back garden of the Express Hotel.Winters was nervous all the way.He wasn't sure if he could complete the special training required.Lisa Krall seemed to have understood Winters' thoughts, she just smiled faintly.

"I don't believe that the Triwizard Tournament is more dangerous than fighting the Lord of Souls. During this summer vacation, Elena mentioned you. Elena said that was the first time she saw someone rushing towards the Lord of Souls without hesitation. "

"But Mrs. Krall... I didn't fight the Lord of Souls, I just barely held the monster back. And if Elena hadn't rescued me in time, and she was watching me all the time when I was unconscious. If so, I would have died long ago.

Harry told me that when Elena carried me into the safe house, he didn't believe I was still alive when he saw the look on my face." Winters didn't really want to talk about the Triwizard Tournament.

"But I hope you can understand that no project in the Triwizard Tournament so far is more dangerous than the Soul Master. So, you don't have to be too nervous. It's enough as long as you study hard." Lisa's words made Winter Si felt a little relieved.While they were talking, the waiter walked by.

"If my memory is not seriously wrong, you two are Lisa Krall and Winters Renault" the waiter asked respectfully.

"That's right, is it the Eisen couple's phone number?" Lisa had already guessed.

"Well, at least the person on the phone said the Eisens were looking for Lisa Krall and Winters Renault."

"You take us there. This is already a long distance call."

"Of course"

Lisa and Winters arrived at the counter and picked up the phone. Mary's voice came from the phone:

"Mrs. Clara, is that you? I have received your letter."

"Winters, he's a little... He's not very familiar with us yet, so he wants to go to Gringotts."

"Oh... He has been very sensitive since he was a child, so let's go with his ideas this time. I have already sent the consent form, and it should arrive at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." Mary sighed on the phone.

"That's good, but I hope you and Mr. Eisen won't make random guesses. I swear that I will do my best to assist Winters and help him overcome the difficulties at hand." Lisa repeated her promise again.

"We absolutely trust you and Mr. Kral," Mary said solemnly.

"Winters, don't you want to say a few words to Mary?" Lisa handed the phone to Winters.

"Winters, you are too suspicious this time." Mary was a little angry.

"But... I always feel uneasy," Winters defended himself.

"Okay...you have been sensitive since you were a child, you can't be so stubborn in the future," Mary said sternly.

"I won't do this again," Winters said immediately.

"Study hard and ask questions in a timely manner if you have any difficult questions that you don't know. You can treat Elena's parents as professors at Hogwarts, and you are a student. The final exam is the Triwizard Tournament." Mary was encouraging Winters.

"I will," Winters said simply.

"Jack and I will contact Lisa from time to time. If we have time, we will visit you."

The uncomfortable feeling of "just wait for my good news" after being separated from a familiar environment has disappeared.Winters thought to himself: If my special training goes well, I can go home and stay for a while.

Early the next morning, they went to Gringotts.Winters didn't know what Slyer's father said to Locke yesterday, but when he saw Locke seeming to be frowning before entering his room, he knew it wasn't good news.

Winters had never been to Gringotts before and this was his first time here.

Gringotts is famous for being the first wizarding bank, founded by an elf and a human wizard.So even after hundreds of years, Gringotts' employees are still half-elf and half-human.When they arrived, they were greeted by a goblin employee, no more than 1.3 meters tall, who introduced himself as Griphook.

After seeing the consent form, the goblin receptionist from Gringotts took the keys and led them to the underground vault. There were several checkpoints along the way, and these sentries were manned by wizards and secret service personnel.It took them maybe 2 hours to get past the guard post and reach the underground vault.

"No way, a few years ago a mysterious man broke into a vault exclusive to Hogwarts and wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.

As a result, the number of sentries doubled. . . .If you ask me, it's useless. If the mysterious man wants to break into this place, he can't stop it just by increasing the number of sentries. . . .In the end, it was the Boy Who Lived and his friends who prevented the mysterious man from succeeding.Otherwise, a war might have broken out by now." They followed Griphook in the underground corridor with electric lights as the only source of light, heading to Winters' vault.

"Well... Vault No. 459 is here. Winters Renault, put your hand on the wall. After the wall disappears, just put your hand on the door that appears." Griphook said Winter When he said Si's name, his silver eyes were staring at him, and his voice was a little excited.

Winters complied with Griphook's request and placed his hand on the wall with "459" written on it.After a few seconds, the originally solid wall quickly turned into water vapor and then disappeared.

After the wall disappeared, there was a very thick-looking iron door, and after a moment of worry, Winters put his hand on the iron door.Then, with a creak, the upper part of the iron door bounced open slightly.

Then Winters gasped. Inside were mountains of gold coins and gold bars.Then Griphook's words made Winters feel a wave of emotion:

"This is the first time I have seen someone from the Essen family appear in Gringotts. I think my friends will definitely be curious about what you look like." Griphook looked at Winters.

"I think 350 gold galleons is enough," Lisa said, looking at Winters.

After Winters put the corresponding number of gold coins into a small bag.They returned to the ground under the leadership of Griphook.

On the way, Griphook told Winters that he had never heard of the Essens coming to Gringotts. He and his friends had only met Mr. Essen once when traveling, when he was withdrawing money from an ordinary Muggle bank. That was also the only time they met Winters' adoptive father.

When they finally left Gringotts, Griphook bowed to Winters.

"Many people know Mr. and Mrs. Eisen. If there were more people like them, perhaps many tragedies would not happen," Mr. Kral said and let out a sigh.
