time at hogwarts

"Remember Mr. Will, you need to tap this wall with a wand a few times. When you enter Diagon Alley, you can buy a wand first, so that you can come here by yourself in the future. Take care."

"Count three pieces upward - count two pieces horizontally -. Okay, you guys stand at the back."

After saying that, he tapped the wall three times with his wand.

The brick he knocked on shook and began to move. A small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole became larger and larger. Soon, an archway wide enough for two adults to pass through at the same time appeared in front of them. Towards a winding, cobbled street with no end in sight.

"Welcome," said Tom, "welcome to Diagon Alley."

Seeing Will and his son's surprise, Tom grinned at them.

"I'll send you here. You just need to walk along the archway. I still need to be there at the bar. Then you can go straight ahead and you will see the Wizarding Bank, Gringotts. You can go there. Exchange it for Galleons, and then you can wander around. Be careful, don't go into Knockturn Alley next to Diagon Alley, if you don't want to become a specimen. Well, I wish you a pleasant journey."

After listening to Tom's words, Will and his son walked along the archway, and then suddenly heard a noise behind them and turned around to look around. They saw that the archway suddenly narrowed, and then turned into the original solid wall.

Magos couldn't help but turn around and touch the wall with his hand. There was no gap. If they hadn't just walked over from the wall, no one would have believed that this wall would become an archway.

'Is this the power of magic! 'Magos is excited about the journey ahead.

It's almost noon, and the bright sun is shining on a stack of pots outside the nearest shop.

There is a sign hanging above the pot: Copper - Brass - Tin - Silver cauldron, complete models, automatic stirring - foldable.

Magos and Earl Weir are full of interest in these things that are different from modern society.I walked over and touched this place and looked at it. It looked like a country bumpkin entering the city.

They looked around as they walked. Anyway, the bar owner Tom said that if they kept walking they would see Gringotts, and they didn't worry about getting lost.

Maybe it's because it's early, or maybe there aren't many wizards in the first place. Although there are wizards walking around them, there aren't many people. Occasionally, one or two wizards will look at them with curious eyes, but they won't come over. We talked and walked and looked around. There were many interesting-looking shops on the roadside. Since we had no money now, we resisted the urge to go in until we reached the gate of Gringotts.

This is a snow-white building that stands high above the surrounding shops. Next to the shiny bronze door, stands a figure wearing a scarlet uniform with gold.

"What was that?" Earl Will asked nervously, looking at the creature not far away with a dark, intelligent face, a pointed beard, and extremely long arms and legs.

"That should be the goblins. Gringotts is run by their race." Magos returned in a low voice.

The goblin bowed to them as they entered.Then a second door appeared in front of them, it was silver, and the following words were engraved on the two doors:

Come in, stranger, but beware of what happens to your insatiable greed, and you will be punished the most if you take it for nothing, so if you want to take from our underground vault a piece of wealth that was never yours, thief Ah, you have been warned, beware not treasure, but evil.

"I wonder if anyone in the magic world will rob a bank. This is really interesting." Count Will said curiously as he looked at the warning carved on the door.

"I think so too." Magos couldn't help but smile as he thought about the incident two years later.

Two goblins came to them and bowed, leading them into a tall marble hall.There were about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a row of long counters. Some used copper scales to weigh coins, and some used eyepieces to examine gems, while making hasty entries in the large ledger.There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins use their bows to guide people in and out of these doors.Earl Will and McGoss walked toward the counter.

"Good morning, we would like to exchange pounds for some magic gold coins." Count Will said to the goblin behind the counter awkwardly.

"How much do you need to exchange?" the goblin asked calmly.

"Ten thousand pounds." Lord Will put his suitcase on the counter.

"Oh, big customers, the ratio of gold galleons to pounds is one to five. There are 2000 gold galleons in total. I don't think you will just exchange these. So I suggest you open a private vault so that you don't need to exchange them. He carried a lot of gold galleons in his arms and took him away."

"Okay, but we don't know how to open the vault." Earl Will asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry about this. This is the key. You just need to carry it with you when the time comes.

This key will allow you to extract Gold Galleons.Any questions? "As he said that, the goblin took out a small key from behind the counter and handed it to Earl Will.

"Can you let us go in and have a look? I mean I want to see what the vault here looks like. I'm very curious. It's my first time here." Magos suddenly stood up on tiptoes and interrupted, and at the same time turned to Wei. Count Er said.

"What do you think, Father."

"Uh, um, okay, actually I want to see it too." Count Will looked at Magos' longing eyes, and at the same time he was also curious about what the vault in the wizard's bank looked like.

The goblin looked at the Muggle father and the little wizard for a while before saying, "It's really troublesome. This is why I hate curious wizards and Muggles. Well, I'll let someone take you to see your vault." gear!"

Gear is another goblin.Magos carefully put away the key his father gave him, together with the fangs given to him by Valentin Lance, put about 300 gold galleons into his bag, and let the gears put away the rest. After putting the gear away, he asked Earl Will and Magos to follow him out of the hall through one of the doors.

The gear opens the door for both of them.In front of him was a narrow stone corridor, illuminated by burning torches.The stone corridor is a steep downhill slope with a small railway underneath.Cog whistled, and a cart hurtled down the track toward them.Earl Will was extremely surprised by what he saw. He thought there would be a corridor behind the door.

Earl Will and Magos followed the gears and climbed into the cart, which sped along the maze of winding corridors.Magos had no interest in memorizing the roads here. He raised his head slightly above the cart, knowing that there was a fire dragon below.

Hey, even though the cold air was roaring in, I was still very excited to see the legendary creature Magos.Trying to block the cold wind with his clothes, Magos tried his best to look down.

Suddenly, he saw a fiery red fire at the end of the passage. In order to see more clearly, he had to stretch his head further. Seeing Magos' dangerous move, Earl Will immediately dragged him back to the car. The moment Goss was pulled back, he saw a huge red head turning its head to look at him. Those eyes seemed bigger to Goss than his head.

"What are you doing? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? If you hadn't insisted, I really wouldn't have let you stay here alone." Earl Will growled angrily.

"I'm sorry, father, I was just too curious. I have never seen any place as beautiful as this. I couldn't help it. I promise there will be no next time." Seeing his father so excited, Magos will see She didn't mention the fire dragon thing, otherwise she wouldn't know for sure that her father really wouldn't let her go to Hogwarts.

"Oh, well, this place is indeed incredible, but you need to restrain your curiosity and pay attention to safety. There is no protection from us here. To be honest, I really don't want you to go to that school." Earl Will muttered Click.

"It's Hogwarts, Dad." Magos felt that the cart was about to reach the depths of the earth. He looked at the stalagmites and stalactites on the top and continued,

"Dad, do you think we are almost reaching the center of the earth?"

"It's not that exaggerated. It's only a few hundred meters at best." Earl Will carefully raised his head out of the cart and looked at it.

"This is really amazing. It's so deep, so steep, and the track can be paved. It's a miracle that the car doesn't shake at such a fast speed." Earl Will looked at everything in front of him in wonder.

While they were talking, the cart slowly stopped.Finally, he stopped in front of a small door in the corridor.

"We are here, gentlemen." As he said that, the Goblin Gear got off the trolley. Magos climbed out of the trolley and stood on the wall of the corridor next to it, looking down, still unfathomable.

"How deep is this?" Magos asked as he handed the key to the gear.

"I don't know either. We never waste time on this. Time is money, my friend."

Magos watched the gear put the key into the small hole in the middle of the door and dialed it. The 2-meter-high door slowly opened, and a green smoke floated out from inside. Will and his son hurriedly avoided it.

"How long has it been since this door was opened?"

"It hasn't been long, it's been hundreds of years."

Magos's heart was pounding. How thin the wizarding world was, and the goblin said it hadn't been long yet. His lifespan was so enviable. Looking at the treasury in front of him from hundreds of years ago... …Magos’ only emotion is that this treasury can already be entered into the Louvre Museum…

"Now that you've figured it out, we're going back. Wait, by the way, since this is your first time here, you have to know that seventeen silver coins are one gold galleons, and 29 copper nats are one silver coin. However, there is a number on the edge of the gold Galleons, which is the number engraved by the Gringotts Mint Goblin. You should pay attention to this, don't be deceived."

Gear put more than 1000 gold galleons into the vault and closed the door.
