All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts
Chapter 144: I stood like a slave last year
Chapter 144: Last year, I stood like a minion
Linde went back to the bakery.He is on vacation today, so he is passing by and popping in the store for a stroll.There is no simple pleasure in appreciating the labor of other people in the bakery.
The decoration of the bakery is very warm, with dozens of styles of bread displayed in the window, the air is sweet, and Malika is waving behind the counter.
"Is your principal okay?"
"He is healthy. He is even healthier than before. Inhaling Sauron's divine power can also extend his life." Lind leaned on the counter and chatted with Malika.
"Anything interesting to share?"
Linde is not a gossip, he did not talk about the tragedy of the Longbottom family, but shared his recent research topic.
"The magic at the junction is quite interesting." He took out a dark stone piece, "This substance called memory stone can stably store thought strings."
"It sounds awesome, but what's the specific use?" Malika cooperated like a compliment.
"This is equivalent to a spell slot. With this thing, there is no need to mentally calculate the spell configuration."
"Wow, that's amazing." Malika read ruthlessly.
Linde took the initiative to change the topic, "I may have to go back to the border area in a while. Do you want me to bring you some hometown specialties?"
"Then I wish you a safe journey."
jingle--
A customer pushed open the door and walked in. A middle-class couple and their daughter were attracted by the smell of bread as they passed the door of the store.
"De Lin! It's really you. I thought I saw it wrong."
The girl who entered the door ran over excitedly. Miss Know-it-all was wearing a casual white dress and a red plaid skirt. She looked like a quiet literary girl, but she was in a hurry when she opened her mouth.
"Hello." Linde said jokingly, "Do we meet by chance every summer vacation?"
He greeted the Grangers. The couple still remember this young man. Hermione gave him an umbrella in the Big Dog Square last year. This is proof that the little girl is kind-hearted. Parents will remember these little things in life.
Hermione couldn't hold back her words, she chattered and poured out all their experiences and knowledge of the day.
"Harry was a guest at Ron's house. He wrote to me and made an appointment to go to Diagon Alley to buy books together."
"The school has established a student aid fund." Linde reminded her, "Book fees can be reimbursed. Or you can get new books directly from Flourish Blossom Bookstore with the book list given by the school."
Hermione nodded, "I know. Professor Dumbledore got the sunken treasure, and now Hogwarts is rich. But we are going to attend a book signing."
"Gideroy Lockhart?" Linde was not surprised. Little girls like to chase stars. The girls' dormitory is full of star posters, which is a phenomenon that can be applied everywhere.
Hermione blushed and explained hurriedly, "It's not what I want to buy. It's Mrs. Weasley who is going to attend Lockhart's book signing. We are all going with her. Also, I heard that this year Flood and Blotts The bookstore has received a lot of new books, and I want to buy some to fill the shelves."
"That requires a lot of money." Linde gave his experience. "Buying a set of all the books in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore will cost about a thousand gold galleons. Valuable books may be very cheap, nonsense. Books can also be expensive.”
The Grangers were shopping in the bakery, and Hermione's father discussed in a low voice how much of the family's savings could be used to buy books for his daughter.
Hermione shyly invited Lynd to go to Diagon Alley with them.
"Okay, it's time to restock my classroom. I hope there will be a surprise." Lind turned to ask Malika, "Do you want to go together?"
The hostess of the bakery smiled and waved like a smiling beckoning cat. "Bon voyage," she said.
A group of people came to the Leaky Cauldron, where Linde spent his first summer vacation. If he hadn't rented Malika's apartment this year, he actually planned to stay here.Tom, the proprietor, remembers him well as a guest.
"Oh, it's you, the weird kid who stays up late at night." Tom Gully smiled strangely. "It's been a long time since I saw you. Your name is De Lin, isn't it?"
"It's a pleasure to see you too, Mr. Tom."
The name De Lin rang out in the bar, and everyone suddenly fell silent. Then an older wizard came over and asked, "Are you Master De Lin? I mean, are you the genius who proposed the art of essential transformation?" "
"I'm De Lin." He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the man, who was very excited.
Six or seven wizards around came forward. They were generally not young, and they all looked old-fashioned and eccentric.When they met, they first praised Linde and praised his attainments in transfiguration, and then a lot of questions were thrown to him, as if he was holding an academic lecture.
I remember the same scene in the Leaky Cauldron when Harry Potter appeared last year.At that time, Linde was still a young man who knew little about the magic world, so he could only stand by.Suddenly there is a feeling that things are right and wrong.
After finally bidding farewell to the enthusiastic fans, everyone ducked into the back alley, knocked on the door and entered Diagon Alley. The place is as lively as ever, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger are going to Gringotts to exchange money.
Five pounds to one gold galleons.
Linde remembered that in some of the early fans of "Harry Potter" he had read, this fixed exchange rate was used to collect a large amount of cash Galleons, which broke the magic world's currency system.In the later fanfiction, this part of the setting was patched, restricting Muggle-born students to exchange Galleons in a limited amount.
Back in the days when the pound was pegged to gold, the exchange between the two currencies was relatively stable.After World War II, the Bretton Woods system dominated the world, and the US dollar replaced the prestigious gold pound, but the Bretton Woods system failed to persist.It should be said that any monetary system based on the gold standard naturally has the risk of being manipulated by financial means.
Linde also considered playing this trick at first, but unfortunately, he became a rich man in the blink of an eye. Fate did not give him this opportunity to flex his muscles in the capital market.
The Granger family of three entered Gringotts, feeling rather timid when faced with the scene here.
The couple were afraid and curious about the goblin behind the counter. Hermione was a child and didn't like this dull money environment. They didn't get the goblin's good looks, and they were even cold-eyed when they said they wanted to exchange for galleons.
"Excellent." The goblin at the counter said slowly, "It really makes people miss the gold pounds of a century ago more and more. How much do you want to exchange?"
"Well, five hundred pounds?"
"Too many." The goblin at the counter frowned, "Sir, it will take several rounds of investment and trade for our Gringotts pound reserves to be converted into gold. This is all time cost."
Lin De slowly moved half a step to the side. The goblin behind the counter glanced casually, and then his whole body trembled. His face, which was originally harder than a pig's liver, immediately melted into marshmallows. He said in a sweet and flattering tone: "Ah, my dear Mr. de Lin. Big fat sheep of Gringotts, no, no, big client! You haven't been here for a long time."
"Accompany me to exchange money." Lin De said concisely.
"Are these three people? Oh, okay, sir, do you want to exchange five hundred pounds? No problem at all, there are ready-made ones at the counter." Then the goblin registered with dazzling deft movements, and then took out a One hundred gold galleons, also wrapped in kraft paper into a pile of ten for easy portability.
The group of people left Gringotts in the farewell of the goblins, and their behavior of being arrogant and respectful at the same time made people laugh. The expressions on Mr. and Mrs. Granger's faces were strange.
Along the street, crowds were moving toward Flourish and Blotts.
On the way, they ran into the Weasleys again.
Hermione happily went up to say hello and looked around, but didn't find Harry, "Isn't he with you?"
"We separated from him. Harry must have mispronounced the name of the place when he was using Floo powder." Mrs. Weasley looked anxious, "Oh, dear, he must be fine."
Water makes my conscience uneasy every day.I don't know how everyone feels about it.
