Chapter 303: Not Yet Open

Diagon Alley, this was the second time Xiang Xien had come here.

Unlike the last time when every Knut had to be counted, now Xiang Xien could count Jin Jialong.

Dazzling sunlight shone on a pile of cauldrons outside the nearest shop. Above the cauldrons hung a sign that read: Copper—Brass—Pewter—Silver cauldrons, complete models, automatic stirring—collapsible.

Below this sign was a price list written in color-changing ink.

"We're going to Gringotts."

Professor Marcus Maige's voice was very light; she always recalled that morning with a dark sky, and the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley seemed to have nothing to do with the young wizard in front of her.

He always looked at those price lists that no child wanted to study.

Passing Eeylops Owl Emporium, which flew various Tawny Owls, Screech Owls, and Barn Owls, and Slug & Jiggers Apothecary, which sold telescopes and many strange silver instruments, Professor Marcus Maige brought Xiang Xien to a white building towering high above the surrounding shops.

The door knocker here was bronze, and there was a goblin in a scarlet uniform standing at the door.

Xiang Xien originally thought the professor was here to withdraw money, but didn't expect it to be—

"This is yours. Your pocket money and any bonuses you might get in the future can be deposited here."

Professor Marcus Maige looked at him, and the vault behind him,

"Severus and I have pre-deposited some money for you, and we believe you will make good use of it."

"It's a total of three thousand Jin Jialong."

At this time, the goblin who led them in said.

Xiang Xien felt that the "some" the professors understood might be very different from what he understood.

Before leaving Gringotts, the goblin kept inciting Xiang Xien to sell the few bottles of potion in his personal vault to Gringotts.

Those were put in by Professor Sineipu with a cold sneer, so that the vault wouldn't look too "shabby."

"We are willing to pay one thousand Jin Jialong to buy them, what do you think?"

While Professor Marcus Maige went to register something, the goblin who was a head shorter than Xiang Xien said temptingly.

Xiang Xien knew somewhat why wizards hated goblins so much. If they wanted to buy potions worth at least three thousand Jin Jialong for one thousand Jin Jialong, then it was no wonder that Voldemort killed these greedy guys at will.

When Harry, Ron, and Hermione sneaked into the Lestrange vault in 1998 and took away Helga Hufflepuff's cup, which had been made into a Horcrux by Voldemort,

Voldemort, who learned of this, had also killed several goblins working at the bank in a rage.

This matter also reflected from the side: magic is power.

Xiang Xien's thoughts drifted far away, because Professor Marcus Maige had already fallen into a very happy purchase.

He only knew now that there were three places to buy clothes in Diagon Alley. The plain robes required by Hogwarts could actually be bought at more than just Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.

There were also Twilfitt and Tattings, which had higher quality and prices, and second-hand robe shops with lower quality but cheaper prices.

Now they were at Twilfitt and Tattings. Professor Marcus Maige would discuss with the shopkeeper for a long time about the style of the robes, and the shopkeeper with meticulously combed blonde hair was also happy to promote, after all, it was as simple for the professor to buy an expensive robe as it was to turn a table into a pig.

Snowflakes were fluttering in the sky, and a pair of wizards walked past the shop window. ===== CHAPTER 304 =====
