From Azkaban To Hogwarts

Chapter 19: Gringotts and Wand Shop



   Diagon Alley can almost be called the financial center of the British magic world. Gringotts, the only magic bank in the UK, is located here.

   But Diagonal Alley is not tall. The broken cauldron bar at the entrance of Diagonal Alley can provide sufficient evidence for this conclusion.

   The financial model of the entire magic world is simple and barbaric, and the rules are full of loopholes. Any college student who has studied finance systematically can find loopholes in this network and make a lot of money from it.

But crudeness does not mean inappropriateness. An imperfect system not only means that loopholes can be exploited, but also means that the means to deal with are almost limitless. William has seen a bunch of economic criminals in Azkaban, and each of them is self-explanatory. A master who thought he had discovered a loophole in the system.

Mortal wisdom? nonexistent.

  Because the financial laws are imperfect, how long is the sentence when arrested is entirely a matter of mood-the Ministry of Magic dares to gather wool, really when Azkaban was built as a prestige building?

William very clearly remembered that in the prison of felons, a guy used digital divination to successfully predict the great changes in the Far East, and then set up a large amount of Muggle money in the Muggle World. When Ge exchanged the money for gold, the Ministry of Magic directly confiscated the guy’s property for a series of crimes such as violating the secrecy law and disrupting financial order, and by the way, he sent the person to Azkaban for twenty years as a payment for future generations. lesson.

  Imperfect law is the greatest right of the Ministry of Magic. Everything is stipulated. How does the Ministry of Magic fight against pure-blood families?

But William had nothing to complain about now. He just looked at the door of Gringotts and remembered the prisoners of Azkaban. The power of the Ministry of Magic was not something he could intervene. He stayed in Azkaban for so long. , A year to unify the Ministry of Magic, and two years to reform the magic world, such as lofty ambitions, did not exist at all. Although he still has ambitions for the future, it is impossible for him to drift like that.

"If I remember correctly, I still have 30 deposits in the bank that are less than Galleons, but what is more important is the set of custom-made potions for boiling potions, although I re-created a set of no more than 20. Kanon, but it takes too much time to customize, and I don’t have that much money."

   But unfortunately, today seems to be a payday in many places. Gringotts lined up quite a bit. The wizards lined up carrying a small bag of gold, and they chatted up and down in front of the bank.

What's more terrible is that the fairies did not speed up their preparations for their actions because of their busy business. There were only a few fairies guiding people to the underground vaults that belonged to their own individuals. The carts down the ground were full of queues and no bank was seen. Facilitate the deployment of manpower in the past.

   After waiting for a long time without seeing the team shortened, William simply gave up his plan to take out the things previously placed in the Gringotts vault, and went straight to the second destination-Ollivander’s Wand Shop,

Gringotts vault should be called a vault. When William was preparing to smuggle in prison, he simply stuffed all the more important things in, but Gringotts was busy with business, so he had to go to the magic wand shop to see himself. What's the matter with that disobedient wand?

It was easy to find on the street. After passing by twice, William finally found this small and broken shop. The signs at the door were all faded. Two times earlier, William thought it was a closed shop, and then he looked through it patiently. The signboard confirmed that this was the goal he was looking for.

   "Ollivander-a well-made magic wand since 382 BC"

   Thousand-year-old shop is still the kind with word-of-mouth guarantee.

   William grumbled inwardly, and then directly opened the door of the store.

   The store is not spacious, I'm sorry for the millennium sign at all, but there is no furniture other than chairs, and it doesn't seem so narrow.

   Entering the eyes is the pile of boxes that have been stacked up to the ceiling. In the background of the boxes that reach the ceiling, an old man is looking down and busy with something. On his hand, an empty box exactly like the background is opened and placed there.

   "New guest?" The other party raised his head in a soft voice.

He looked at William’s pocket, which made William almost subconsciously protect his wallet—he knew a lot of thieves in Azkaban, and Jiuzhi was doing this, because he was chopped for drinking every day. In front of the potion, he was in the state of nine fingers, which earned him such a nickname.

   But instead of looking at William's purse, the other person's eyes fixed on William's wand that was half exposed.

"Oh, it's it. It was sold eight years ago. It is twelve inches, red willow wood. It is very powerful to wave. Few little wizards get their own wand when they are nine years old. This is not Japan. (Note 1) , Your name is William, right?"

   "Yes, it's me."

William was surprised. Eight years ago, the old man could still remember it through a sold wand—this kind of extraordinary memory is too far-fetched even if it is explained by magic, it is comparable to three thousand copies of Liu Bei's. It is really rare that the amount of information hasn't made this person forget it once a year. UU reading www. uukánshu.com

   "What's wrong with it?"

   "I think so. I don't know why. After I left Azkaban, it became resistant."

   William honestly didn't make any concealment. He was really afraid of what the walking large storage device would find from the wand. Although Azkaban sounded a bit far-fetched, it was also an excuse.

   "Azkaban?"

   Ollivander took out William's wand, stroked it, and carefully wiped the fingerprints and sweat on it, and then regretfully handed the wand to William.

   "Normally, the wizard's wand will follow his master's life, unless it encounters an extreme change in the master's will."

   "Take it away, Mr. William, now you don't need it to provide courage anymore. A new magic wand will accompany you as a partner to continue walking."

William followed Ollivander’s command without any negligence. For a wand maker who can recognize his master based on the wand sold eight years ago, even the most eloquent words are worth following. , Probably the magic wand in this room, he can remember all the history of this magic wand from its birth to its preservation.

   The so-called skill is almost at this level, and it is impossible for a liar to have this level.

   Thinking of this, William simply asked the price of the empty box, and spent three Sicos to buy one, wiped the disobedient wand carefully, put it in and fixed it, and then put the box away.

   This kind of work is worthy of him. Even if the magic wand that William wants to use at the moment is not shadowed, he has already assured that whether the wand is strong or weak, it must be the best for him.
