Chapter 35

This thought only circled in Darren's mind before he threw it to the back of his head.

Too unrefined!

As someone who aspired to let his saintly father radiance shine over all of Hogwarts, how could he do such an unrefined thing?

But if he ran out of money, maybe he could steal the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat and trade it for a sum of money with Griphook?

Darren considered this possibility in his heart, his "benevolent" gaze constantly scanning Griphook.

This caused the still very young goblin Griphook to suddenly feel a chill.

Was it getting cold?

Griphook rubbed its hands.

It looked around.

Darren silently shifted his gaze away.

He suddenly remembered, if he could steal the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat, why not just steal Galleons from that group of Slytherin nobles like Malfoy?

Maybe he could steal enough to become the richest person?

This...

While Darren was pondering the feasibility of this idea, Griphook finally stopped the cart.

"Alright, this is it!"

Griphook got off the cart and opened the vault door.

A puff of green smoke emerged, and after it dissipated, Darren opened his mouth in astonishment.

Steal money?

He, Darren, was clean and self-disciplined!

It was just that there was too much money inside.

He had heard the original work describe Harry's parents' wealth, but seeing Harry being so stingy in the book, even reluctant to buy a Firebolt, he thought there wasn't actually much.

Who knew that seeing it for himself...

Inside were piles of Galleons, silver bars, and mountains of bronze Knuts.

This added up to at least...

"Thirty thousand Galleons, two million silver Sickles; Pocky didn't count the Knuts.

Too poor, really too poor; the two little masters actually have to spend seven years with such a small amount of money.

Pocky is truly a bad elf, not coming out sooner to help the two little masters manage the family business!"

Pocky took out a handkerchief and cried sadly.

Its large eyes looked at Darren with heartache; his poor little master actually only had this many Galleons to use?

When Young Master James was young, a set of wizard robes cost thousands of Galleons to make, not to mention ordinary clothes, formal wear, shoes, daily necessities...

A mere thirty thousand Galleons wouldn't last a year.

And his two poor little masters actually had to use it for seven years!

Seven years, how frugal would the two little masters have to be!

What kind of concept is this?

This would break the old master's heart!

Pocky slapped its thigh in deep regret.

Darren looked at Pocky in astonishment.

Thirty thousand Galleons is very little?

You have to know that when Harry was on the train, he used one Galleon to buy all the snacks on the trolley.

According to the exchange rate Rowling mentioned in 2001, one Galleon equals five pounds, which is over seven dollars.

The purchasing power back then was very high; if you look at it by 2020 proportions, it might be ten times that.

So, such a large amount of Galleons was actually called poor by Pocky?

Even if he and Harry used it together, he felt he could live a lifetime in the wizarding world without earning a penny.
