The first White Lord of Hogwarts

“I would like to apply for currency exchange service for this year’s new students”

“Oh, is it that time again?”

The goblin behind the counter propped himself up and looked down at Ivan and Hermione who were standing next to Professor McGonagall. He sized them up and asked,”Excuse me, who needs to exchange wizard currency?”

“It’s Miss Granger.…”

“I’m sorry, professor.”

At this time, Ivan interrupted and said,”I wonder how much this money can be exchanged for?”

“……”

Professor McGonagall looked at Ivan in confusion, and the latter blinked at her. Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment and said to the goblin,”Miss Granger and Mr. Ambrosius need exchange services.”

Although Hogwarts has a scholarship subsidy for a helpless little wizard like Ivan, the scholarship is only enough for Ivan to complete the purchase of basic materials and school supplies.

Therefore, Ivan chose to give up the scholarship and apply for the Muggle currency exchange service instead.

“Ivan, do you have enough money?”

Hermione brought about 2,000 pounds this time, which can be exchanged for about 400 gold Galleons at the current exchange rate.

Of course, this is in theory. In fact, young wizards from Muggle families can exchange a maximum of 100 Galleons per year.

And this exchange rate will change at any time.

For example, if someone exchanges a large number of Galleons with Muggle currency in a short period of time, then the 1:5 exchange rate may become 1:50 or even 1:500.

Goblins do not need Muggle currency.

To them, Muggle currency is no different from waste paper.

Therefore, the best way to exchange is to buy gold in the Muggle world first, and then exchange gold for Galleons.

Although this method of exchange will also lead to the depreciation of gold, resulting in fewer and fewer Galleons that can be exchanged, the goblins’ love for gold has been high since ancient times.

With limited global gold reserves, goblins don’t mind taking all the gold in the Muggle world at the lowest price.

Anyway, they are the only buyers.

If Ivan can really take out a few tons of gold, the goblins will make him realize the dangers of society and directly devalue gold to cabbage prices.

“How many Galleons can I exchange for this gold?”

Ivan took a box of gold out of his backpack, and with the help of Professor McGonagall, he put it on the counter.

He knew that he would carefully control the output of gold, so as not to let these ugly goblins take advantage of it.

“Gold?!”

The fairy opened the box and saw small yellow croakers neatly arranged inside:”Oh, it’s really these golden little cuties.”

“Mr. Ambrosius, right?”

The goblin held up his glasses and said,”According to the current gold exchange rate, you can exchange them for 250 gold galleons at Gringotts.”

“……”

Ivan’s eyes turned cold when he heard the price.

Obviously, a lot of money was deducted from the price.

“”Okay.”

Ivan did not bargain, and directly accepted the deal in front of Hermione and Professor McGonagall’s surprised eyes.

He silently kept this account in his mind..As for now, let these goblins be proud for a while.

On the other side, Hermione also exchanged a sum of 80 gold galleons. After the three of them left Gringotts, Professor McGonagall asked Ivan about the box of gold.

“Professor, all my gold was purchased with legal income.”

Ivan told Professor McGonagall that when he was a child, he had predicted the lottery results in the newspaper and successfully won the third prize, which improved the life of the orphanage.

In addition, Ivan would also use the money he saved to buy sports betting.

He did not dare to use the prophecy to make money at will, and he would control the amount within a certain range every time.

Of course, Ivan concealed some things.

For example, he changed his appearance through the Metamorphosis Magus and opened several bank accounts in the Muggle world to prepare for his future life after leaving the orphanage.

Similarly, it was also with the help of the Metamorphosis Magus that Ivan could safely ensure his own safety and concealment while having a lot of wealth.

“”Good, amazing.”

Hermione’s eyes widened, and she was amazed at Ivan’s magical ability.

In the past, when people mentioned the ability to predict the future, they always thought,”Can I predict the lottery results?” Unexpectedly, she really met a prophet today, and he did it.

Even Professor McGonagall didn’t know what to say.

In the end, Professor McGonagall could only ask Ivan to be careful not to be discovered by Muggles and not to indulge in gambling, and then she let the matter go.

The three of them left Gringotts, and Professor McGonagall asked them to take out the shopping list, and Miss Beaver directly recited the contents of the list:

“【Uniform:

Three sets of plain work robes (black)

One plain peaked hat (black) for daytime wear

One pair of protective gloves (dragon leather or similar material)

One winter cape (black with silver buckles)

Note: All student clothing must be attached with a name tag

Students may bring an owl, a cat or a toad.

Parents are kindly requested to note that first-year students are not allowed to bring their own broomsticks.”

After the words fell, Hermione looked at Ivan and Professor McGonagall with great energy. The latter smiled and praised:”It seems that our Miss Granger is well prepared.”

Professor McGonagall likes little witches like Hermione who love to study.

As for the desire to show herself, Professor McGonagall, who was of mixed blood, was similar to Hermione in the past. She also wanted to prove that she was no worse than those pure-blood wizards.

“Ivan, how about we go buy the textbooks for this year?”

Hermione has a strong desire for knowledge. The only shortcoming is that she believes too much in what is written in books and regards it as the truth.

“”Okay.”

Ivan and Hermione went to Flourish and Blotts, and they were completely attracted by the piles of books in the store.

At the same time, Professor McGonagall asked them to stay in Flourish and Blotts while she went to buy cauldrons, gloves and other supplies for them. McGonagall

, who has been a professor at Hogwarts for many years, knows the ins and outs of this.

With her personal supervision, she can not only keep the price to the lowest, but also ensure the quality of the goods.

“Professor McGonagall is such a good teacher.

Hermione sighed,”It would be great if all the professors at Hogwarts were like her.”

Professor McGonagall, who is serious and old-fashioned in the eyes of others, is actually a proud cat girl who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside in the eyes of Ivan and Hermione.
