Chapter 466: Worth the Trip

"Oh, Harry—oh, dear—you could end up anywhere—"

Mrs. Wei Silai, out of breath, took a large coat brush from her bag and began to dust the coal ash off Harry.

Mr. Wei Silai took Harry's glasses, tapped them with his wand, and returned them looking as good as new.

Harry looked at every face; the concern on their faces was obvious... No wizard here would dislike him for causing trouble. Sometimes he felt that the days of escaping from Privet Drive were like a dream.

"Jia Siting—dear child, so happy to see you,"

Mrs. Wei Silai's eyebrows flew up when she turned her head and saw Jia Siting.

"Let's go, my dear children, we're going to get some Jin Jialong."

It was the first time she had said such words about getting Jin Jialong with such confidence.

She pulled Harry with her left hand and Jia Siting with her right, and they surged into the flow of people.

At this moment, the "neglected" Luo En shrugged his shoulders and said to Xiang Hemin and Jia Siting:

"Mom is always nicer to outsiders. But it's strange, I've never seen them so eager to go to the vault."

……

Jia Siting was being pulled along; Mrs. Wei Silai always had an unusual enthusiasm for him, asking how Jia Siting's summer vacation had been the whole way.

Mr. Wei Silai just smiled honestly, habitually echoing her, until he bumped into Xiang Hemin's parents.

They were standing awkwardly by the counter that spanned the entire marble hall, waiting for Xiang Hemin to return and introduce them.

"Ah, I know, Mr. Granger and Mrs. Granger, you are Muggles!"

Mr. Wei Silai said happily,

"We must have a drink! What is that you're holding? Oh, you're exchanging Muggle currency. Mo Li, look!"

He pointed excitedly at the ten-pound note in Mr. Granger's hand.

Soon, several goblins appeared; they were to take different wizards to different vaults. Jia Siting and the others also needed to separate for a while.

The Wei Silai family left with Harry, and Xiang Hemin also hurried off to guide the Grangers in exchanging Jin Jialong.

Thus, only Jia Siting and the other Jia Siting remained here.

"Together? Jia Siting?"

Jia Siting said; he seemed to have come to get money by himself as well.

"Okay."

Jia Siting didn't refuse.

The cart driven by the goblin sped along the small tracks, passing through the bank's underground tunnels to reach the various vaults. The feeling of racing along was very exhilarating.

After entering a cavern, Jia Siting's vault dazzled Jia Siting's eyes once again.

It was filled with all kinds of materials, needed and unneeded; piles upon piles of Jin Jialong.

"My father doesn't really approve of the Wizarding World, and neither does my mother. But fortunately, they both support me,"

Jia Siting said with a smile; his collar was always stiff, ironed by Mrs. Fenley herself.

Jia Siting turned his head and glanced at Jia Siting; was what was in his trunk only a small portion?

He remembered that there was a limit to the amount of Jin Jialong that could be exchanged for pounds, which meant they were using gold or jewelry...

Well, he still couldn't imagine the world of the rich.

"This is—"

When Jia Siting came to his own vault to get money, Jia Siting's mouth could have fit a goose egg.

His excellent insight allowed him to estimate the amount of Jialong inside, and it was precisely because of this that he was so surprised.

Had Gringotts been robbed? Perhaps not; that might be too slow.

It was at this moment that Jia Siting slowly realized the money-making ability of a top Alchemy Master.

After leaving Gringotts, the reunited group headed to Flourish and Blotts together.

"Don't know where Mom and Dad got the money to buy our school supplies this year,"

Luo En still couldn't quite believe it,

"Besides a few old books with many useful notes, five whole sets of Luohate's books! And Jin Ni's robes and wand and everything else are all taken care of..."

"Doesn't Mr. Wei Silai work at the Ministry of Magic?"

Harry was a bit puzzled.

"Harry, you don't know, the Ministry of Magic isn't a charity."

Luo En whispered. Xiang Hemin and Jia Siting were also listening curiously.

Subsequently, they were surprised to find a large crowd of people outside the bookstore, all wanting to get in. A large banner was hung in front of the upstairs window:

【Teacher of Sages? Exclusive Interview with Master Flora Olivia Taila on Sale】

Below it was a smaller banner:

【Gilderoy Luohate signing his autobiography;

"Magical Me";

This afternoon: 12:30—4:30】

"Teacher of Sages? How come I've never heard of this news?"

Xiang Hemin said blankly.

"Maybe because we don't live in the Wizarding World?"

Jia Siting said with a smile.

The banners at Flourish and Blotts seemed to have been hanging for a while, and the newspapers here had long since been sold out. Occasionally, a few wizards would sigh with satisfaction:

"That Alchemy Sage is truly too young, and actually still a student at Hogwarts. My god, I really graduated too early."

A young witch whispered to the shy wizard beside her.

"Y-yeah, but... actually, we graduated five years ago."

The wizard beside her held it in for a long time before finally saying such a sentence.

The witch glared at him and walked away quickly; only then did he realize what had happened and chased after her with a mournful face.

This scene made Xiang Hemin seem to empathize:

"What an idiot."

Jia Siting echoed, then saw that Harry and Luo En were both somewhat puzzled.

"You too!"

Xiang Hemin said crossly.

However, soon, Xiang Hemin's attention was drawn to Gilderoy Luohate; the area around the bookstore was surrounded by wizards like Xiang Hemin who had been attracted.

However, most of the crowd seemed to be witches of Mrs. Wei Silai's age.

A weary-looking wizard stood at the door and said:

"Ladies, quiet... don't crowd... watch out for the books..."

Jia Siting was always clustered in the middle, squeezing in through the gaps in the crowd with everyone else. ===== CHAPTER 467 =====
