The first White Lord of Hogwarts

“Oh, two little guys I haven’t seen before.”

Standing behind the bar, Tom leaned over and smiled at the two of them:”Are you the freshmen of Hogwarts this year?”

“Yes, Tom.”

Professor McGonagall nodded to old Tom, and walked forward with Hermione and Ivan:”Also, it is not convenient to drink during work.”

“Haha, if Hagrid heard this, it would be very funny.”

Ignoring Old Tom’s teasing of Hagrid, the three of them walked through the bar and came to the patio surrounded by walls on all sides, where a trash can and some weeds were placed.

“Remember, count three bricks upwards and two bricks horizontally.

Professor McGonagall motioned Ivan and Hermione to watch her count the bricks, then she pulled out her wand and tapped three times on the wall at the places she had counted before.

“Galala~~”

The next moment, under the gaze of Ivan and Hermione, the bricks on the wall began to move, revealing a small hole.

The hole became larger and larger, and soon a wide archway and a cobblestone street with no end in sight appeared in front of the two.

“Welcome to Diagon Alley.”

The pedestrians who kept coming and going on the street, dressed in simple and strange clothes, attracted the eyes of Ivan and Hermione.

Especially the latter, who was completely attracted by the scene in front of her and could not look away.

Wizards and magic have a huge appeal to little girls like Hermione.

Who hasn’t imagined herself as a little princess?

The three walked along the archway, and when Hermione looked back, she saw that the archway suddenly narrowed and soon turned into the original solid wall again.

Diagon Alley is the most prosperous commercial street in the British wizarding world. Many first-line brand stores in the wizarding world have”flagship stores” here.

Ivan glanced at it, and one by one, the stores he remembered in his previous life or had never seen came into his sight.

Ollivander’s Wand Shop, Jumping and Playful Magic Joke Shop, Florin Fosco Ice Cream, Jishu Stationery Store, Second-Hand Shop, Horror Journey Wizard Travel Agency, Quidditch Boutique, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Madam Malkin’s Robe Store, Partridge’s Cauldron Shop, Magical Creatures Shop, Tofan Finished Products Shop, Wezeacre Magic Supplies Shop, Eeyore Owl Shop, etc.

‘The real wizarding world is much more vast than what we see in novels and movies. ‘

With Ivan sighing, Professor McGonagall took Hermione and Ivan to Gringotts first, where they were going to exchange Muggle currency for gold Galleons for Hermione.

Little wizards from Muggle families have a certain limit of Muggle currency exchange for wizard currency every year.

Hermione’s father is a dentist, which is a high-income group in Western countries. If the exchange rate of 5:1 between pounds and gold Galleons is followed as Rowling said, Mr. Granger might be able to exchange tens of thousands of Galleons for Hermione on the spot.

“What a magical place.”

Hermione grabbed Ivan’s hand, and it seemed that she had forgotten to let go since she met Tom.

Miss Beaver was already nervous when she first entered the magical world. At first, she might have wanted to compare herself with Ivan, who was also born in Muggles.

But in the face of unfamiliar environments, it is human nature to keep warm together.

Ivan came from the same place as her, and he was so steady, which inevitably made the little girl subconsciously want to rely on him.

“Yes.”

Ivan squeezed Hermione’s hand, signaling her not to be nervous:”I think living in such a world will be very interesting.”

“Aren’t you afraid at all?”

Hermione admired Ivan’s character. They were the same age, but Ivan was so mature.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve always lived in an orphanage.”

“Uh.”

Hermione whispered:”I’m sorry, I’m not…”

“It doesn’t matter, I don’t think it’s a painful memory.”

Ivan’s attitude made Hermione feel ashamed:”By the way, I just saw a bookstore. After exchanging wizard currency, we can buy it together and then read it alternately. This should save a lot of money.”

“”Hmm!”

Hearing about the book, Hermione immediately became energetic and returned to the somewhat proud Miss Beaver’s posture.

Professor McGonagall looked back at the two little wizards and was happy that they could gain friendship before entering school.

Soon, the three of them came to a snow-white building that stood tall above the surrounding shops. Next to the shiny bronze door stood a figure wearing a scarlet and gold-studded uniform. The other person was a head shorter than Hermione and Ivan, with a dark face that exuded intelligence and a pointed beard. Ivan found that his hands and feet were particularly long.

When they entered the door, the goblin bowed to them.

“Those are?”

“Goblins.”

Professor McGonagall:”They work for Gringotts and keep the wizards’ wealth.”

Hermione didn’t react much, but Ivan couldn’t help but frown.

He didn’t know the specific relationship between goblins and wizards, but he thought it was stupid to hand over the bank to goblins.

Ivan remembered that when he read the setting of Harry Potter in his previous life, goblins should be the losers.

However, it was incredible that the losers could control the economic lifeline of the wizarding world.

“What’s wrong, Ivan?”

“Nothing.”

Ivan did not say it directly, because he knew that such words were not suitable to be said here.

So the three of them passed through the second door.

This door was silver, and the following words were engraved on the two doors:

“Come in, stranger; but beware the consequences of greed, for to take what is not earned is the most severe punishment, so if you want to take from our vault a portion of the wealth that never belonged to you, thief, you are warned, beware that you will not receive treasure, but evil.”

‘Tsk.

Ivan read these warnings, his eyes narrowed slightly:”These goblins are really annoying.”

The two goblins in front bowed to them and led them into a tall marble hall.

There were about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a long row of counters. Some were weighing coins with copper scales, while others were examining gems with eyepieces, while hastily recording in a large ledger.

There were countless doors in the hall, each leading to a different place. Many goblins pointed their bows to lead people in and out of these doors.

“How may I help you?”

The goblins behind the counter stood on high stools, which allowed them to look down at the visitors:”Professor McGonagall?”

Professor McGonagall was the master of Transfiguration in the British wizarding world. Her level of magic was second only to that of great wizards like Dumbledore, and she was definitely at the top level.

Coupled with decades of teaching, it is no exaggeration to say that she has many students all over the UK.
