HP's profit-seeking

The next day was the last day of July. On this day, Danica still worked at Lihen Bookstore.

Near noon, a messy-haired giant brought a messy-haired, thin boy into the bookstore. The boy picked up a copy of "Curses and Anti-Curses" at the door, and the giant was persuading him to put down the book.

As Danica approached them, she heard the boy say, "I want to find a way to curse Dudley."

"It's not a bad idea, but you can't use magic in the Muggle world, except in very special circumstances." said the giant, "However, you can't use those spells now, and you still need to learn a lot to achieve that." level."

Danica had already walked in front of them and greeted the giant. "Hey, Hagrid, long time no see you seem to be doing well." Then she turned to the boy and said, "Hagrid is right, you look like you are a freshman, the spells in that book are not spells you can now Learned. But I am reading this book recently, if you are still interested in the content, you can come to me after school, I can teach you." Danica winked at the boy and stretched out her hand, "My name is Dan Nika Wilson, Ravenclaw third year, nice to meet you."

Harry shook her hand awkwardly, then quickly let go, nodded, "Thank you, my name is Harry Potter."

Danica was a little surprised when she heard his name. Of course she had heard of Harry Potter. Almost everyone in the wizarding world didn't know him—the savior boy who defeated Voldemort.But the boy in front of him did not match the image in the rumors. He looked very thin, wearing an ill-fitting plaid shirt that seemed to be ripped off from a fat man, with messy black hair, and wearing a round A lot of scotch tape was glued on the framed glasses, and there was a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.He doesn't look like a savior at all, but he is a bit like Danica who was a beggar before entering school, suffering the same abuse in life.

She stared at Harry for a while, Hagrid suddenly patted her on the shoulder (she was almost knocked down!), smiled brightly and said to Harry: "Danica is the number one in the year, She's the smartest little girl I've ever met, go to her if you have any questions. But why are you here, Danica?"

Danica stabilized her body, moved quietly to the side, and escaped from Hagrid's clutches, "I work at Lihen Bookstore in summer vacation to earn some living expenses." She extended her hand to Harry again, "Harry, take your Give me the list of books, and I'll help you get the books."

After a while, Hagrid took Harry away after buying the textbooks. They still had a lot of things to buy.Danica went on to serve new customers.

After getting off work at that point, she brought the beauty potion she made yesterday to Mrs. Primpinell's beauty potion shop.

After listening to Danica's request, the store manager's wife generously took away all the beauty potions in her hands, at a price of 1 gold Galleon each, much higher than the market price.Danica understood that it was the lady who saw the hardship of her life at a young age and did charity. After thanking her again and again, she took the ten Galleons she got and left.

Danica now has more than 20 Galleons on her body, and she plans to store them in part of Gringotts for future contingencies.So she walked towards the most prominent towering white building in Diagon Alley. The first door to Gringotts was a bronze gate, and there was a goblin guard in a scarlet and gold uniform standing at the door, facing Danica when she entered. bowed.

The second door was silver, and there were some words engraved on it. It was Danica's first visit to Gringotts, and she looked a little more curiously, trying to see the words engraved on it.

"Come in, stranger, but take care,

What is the end of insatiable greed,

Blindly ask for, get for nothing,

will be severely punished,

So if you want to take it from our underground vault,

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned,

Be careful not to bring treasures, but evil rewards. "

Danica paused for a while, after reading the words on the door, she continued to walk inside and entered a spacious marble hall, about a hundred goblins sat behind the long counter and were busy weighing coins with copper balances, and then in the big tent The book hastily waited for it, and some goblins were examining gems with eyepieces.There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins guide the people passing through these doors.

Danica found a goblin who didn't seem so busy, and stopped in front of its counter, "Hello, sir, this is my first time at Gringotts, and I want to save some money."

The goblin was wearing a delicate bow tie. She glanced at the girl who was not much taller than the counter through her eyes behind the glasses, and said, "Then open a personal treasury. How much do you want to save?"

Danica was a little embarrassed at this time, but she pretended to be calm with a deadpan face, "Ten Galleons."

The goblin scribbled on the large ledger, "Name?" "Danica Wilson." "On July 7, deposit ten Galleons. Store in Vault 31."

After writing it down, it jumped off the high stool behind the counter, holding a bunch of keys, "Follow me."

Danica obediently followed behind it, and one of the countless doors in the hall walked out of the hall.Outside the door is a narrow stone corridor, with countless torches on the walls on both sides, illuminating the stone corridor brightly.The Stone Corridor is a steep descent with a small railway below it.The goblin blew a whistle, and a small cart rushed up along the railway track. It climbed on the car, and Danica froze for a moment, and then hurried into the small cart.

Then they set off, galloping along the maze-like winding corridors, turning left, turning right, turning right, turning left, the fork in the middle, turning right, turning left, Danica's eyes widened in excitement, I thought it was really fun.She noticed that the goblin with the bow was not trying to steer the cart at all.

They quickly rushed to a deeper place underground, passing an underground lake covered with huge stalactites and stalagmites, all the way to the ground.

Finally, the trolley stopped in front of a small door in the corridor, and the goblin got out of the car and started to use the key of the vault to open the door, so Danica slowed down and got out of the car slowly, "It's so exciting." Her heart was still beating fast.

"Miss, your vault door has been opened, please put the coins in." The goblin turned around, and Danica quickly walked to it, and was shocked by the scene in front of her, an empty small room, and she Just put ten Galleons in this room.

Danica took out her purse, counted out ten gold coins, and placed them in the middle of the inner room. She was a little embarrassed, turned her head and walked out quickly, and said dryly: "I put it away, let's go Bar."

The goblin locked the door and handed the key to Danica, "Take this key next time you come, and you can come to your vault again after you report your name."

Danica took the key and put it away in her inside pocket.At this moment, another small cart passed quickly in front of them. On it sat a goblin with a dull face and a man whose face was not clearly visible with a huge scarf on his head.

Danica wanted to say a few words to divert her embarrassment, and asked the goblin beside her, "A car drove down just now, is there a vault underneath?"

"What?!" The goblin looked a little surprised, "The vault below is quite special, and generally no one will go down." It obviously just realized that something was wrong with the afterimage that just passed by, and its expression suddenly changed. Very serious, he pulled Danica into the trolley, and drove back to the hall at a much faster speed than when he came.

Danica, her hair disheveled by the cold wind in the tunnel, trotted after the goblin.

The goblin ran to the goblin who looked like the manager in the hall, and said a few words, the manager's face became more and more serious, "There are no customers coming to those special vaults in the underground, hurry up and stop what you are doing first, let's go down and have a look." look."

Danica stood in the corner of the hall, watching the goblin rush down in chaos, and the wizards in the hall were a little confused.Is this someone breaking in?So would the ten Galleons she just deposited be in danger?She began to think wildly in her mind, and decided to wait a while to see the situation before leaving.

After a while, she finally waited for the goblins to come back. There were two goblins driving a weak goblin in the middle. Danica vaguely heard them say, "Someone wants to break into Professor Dumbledore's vault." , he controlled poor Dot with Legilimency..." Dot should be the weak elf.

Danica probably understood something, maybe someone heard that there was a lot of money in Professor Dumbledore's vault, so they wanted to steal some money, she thought about it, no one would look at her vault , so he walked out of Gringotts with great peace of mind.

Danica has one more thing to do before going back to the Leaky Cauldron. She's going to the Yila Owl Shop to buy an owl that can deliver messages.Stacy's birthday was on August 8, and Danica had to mail the presents and letter today.

As soon as you enter the Yila Owl store, the inside is terribly dark, and there are pairs of bright gem-like eyes in the dark store.Danica felt as though all the owls were looking at her as soon as she came in, which was scary.

"Um, I think I need an owl that can deliver letters." Danica said loudly into the inside, she couldn't see where the clerk was at all, it was too dark.

There was a little light from the right corner of the store, and a wizard held a fluorescent wand in his hand and said, "Okay, miss. What do you want?"

Danica thought for a while, but she didn't ask for anything. She was about to ask him to help with the selection, when an owl that looked a bit like an eagle flew out from the darkness and landed on Danica's shoulder.

The wizard laughed: "It seems that it chose you. A very strong young man, he is an eagle owl, about 30 centimeters in length, with big, dark eyes, and very powerful wings."

Danica felt that it was fate with it, so she paid the money very happily, carried the birdcage, and walked to the Leaky Cauldron with her new pet.

After returning to the room at the Leaky Cauldron, Danica released her new pet from the cage. The sturdy owl flew around the room to get acquainted with its new territory, and then stopped at Dany card shoulder.

"What name should I give you? Good boy." Danica tapped her head, "Why don't you call me Palaser, you have the same name as a genius in alchemy."

Danica took out the letter she had written, put the beauty potion and a small silver mirror into a beautiful box, spread some dry straw in the gap, put the letter in, and packed it carefully.

Touching Palaser's head, Danica said: "As soon as you come to me, I will trouble you to deliver the letter. My good friend will have his birthday the day after tomorrow. Please send it to Otto on the south coast of England." 237 Ree San Catchpole."

Danica tied the gift to Palaser's leg, and fed him a large handful of barley worms. After it finished eating, she kissed Palaser's head hard, "Come back soon.", and then Push open the window and let it fly out.

After another busy day, Danica finally had time to eat her own dinner. After dinner, she continued to read the book "Curses and Anti-Curses" that she borrowed. The little curses in it were really interesting.
