Chapter 9 Wonderful Experience of Joestar's House
Today is a very good weather, the dazzling sunshine is shining on Diagon Alley, every shop sign, and every pedestrian walking back and forth.
Joestar's family was walking in this crowded and noisy street. Leaving aside Joshua, just his parents, who were originally social elites, looked around like bumpkins at this moment.
Moreover, they were dressed in formal attire, and they became weird among a group of people wearing wizard robes.
"Oh my God, I just saw a strange thing speaking human words!"
Ms. Joestar was quite curious at the beginning. After she saw a house elf carrying a lot of boxes, she was almost frightened. She thought it was the horror story Joshua had read when she was a child. The man-eating goblin of the story.
Joshua's repeated explanations convinced Ms. Joestar that house elves don't eat people
Diagon Alley wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. Joestar's family walked for a long time before they came to the fork in the road.
"I think that's where Gringotts is."
It was a tall, snow-white marble building standing at the fork in Diagon Alley. It was very conspicuous among the shops. A white stone step led to two shiny bronze doors. Goblins in uniforms of scarlet and gold.
On the top of the building, there is a line of golden text "Gringotts Wizarding Bank".
Mr. Joestar pushed his non-existent glasses, and he was suddenly interested when he saw the bank.
The Joestar family was about to enter Gringotts, but before entering, Ms. Joestar carefully asked the goblin in uniform standing at the door like a god.
"Do you eat people?"
This can't be done by the goblin directly. Fortunately, Ms. Joestar was dragged in by Joshua afterwards, which prevented the matter from getting more embarrassing.
After entering the gate, there is an inner hall for waiting guests. Going inside is the second door made of silver, and going inside is a tall and majestic marble hall.
You can see hundreds of goblins sitting on the high stools behind the counter and busying themselves. Some use copper balances to weigh coins, some use eyepieces to examine gems, and some make records in large ledgers. It is a joy to be busy. Almost.
Fairies are born to like a series of treasures such as gold and gems, and this preference is similar to that of flying dragons in fantasy stories.
Mr. Joestar took the lead to go under the high platform, summoned up his courage and said:
"We're here to exchange coins!"
As he spoke, he took out a large wad of cash he had prepared.
The goblin on the high platform just glanced through the gold-rimmed glasses and showed a look of disgust. The wrinkled face seemed strange.
"Muggles can only be exchanged for 100 Galleons, at a 5:1 exchange rate as stipulated by the Ministry of Magic regulations."
"I have more pounds, so can't I exchange them for more, Galleons?"
Mr. Joestar himself works in a bank. In his impression, foreign exchange banks are willing to accept them.
"Muggle coins are no different from waste paper to us. If it weren't for the Ministry of Magic's regulations, you wouldn't even be able to get a Galleon."
The goblin's gaze changed from disgust to contempt. To be honest, Joshua was annoyed when he saw it, as if rushing to punch it, but the rational Joshua held back.
"Okay, okay, 100 is 100."
500 pounds, that's more than 4000 soft sister coins, but it can be exchanged for 100 gold Galleons.
However, as far as Joshua knew, the so-called 5:1 exchange rate seemed to be the Ministry of Magic's subsidy for students, and the normal exchange rate seemed to be 25:1.
If you are not a student at Hogwarts, or if you want to exchange for Galleons after graduation, this is the exchange rate, and there is no rule requirement, and the goblins will exchange it for you.
"Okay, now that we have money, what should we buy first?"
Under the inquiry of Ms. Joestar, Joshua pointed to a store not far away.
"Ollivander: Crafting Wands Since 382 BC".
It was a small, shabby shop, so much worse than the Leaky Cauldron before, that neither Mr. Joestar nor Ms. Joestar wanted to go in.
In fact, it was Ms. Joestar who was attracted by the Madam Malkin's robe store next to it, and the various styles of wizard robes behind the window.
"Mom, go ahead. I can do it here by myself. By the way, help me order some school uniforms and robes. You know the size!"
Ms. Joestar can guess what she is thinking at a glance, and directly expresses that she can do it alone, so she can just take this opportunity to play alone.
After all, when you want to indulge yourself, it is still very embarrassing to have your parents watching behind you.
He directly asked Mr. Joestar for 50 Galleons, and then went straight into Ollivander's wand shop.
The store is small, with little furniture except for a bench in the corner, and thousands of long, narrow cardboard boxes containing wands stacked floor to ceiling, and here and there a thin layer of dust.
However, Joshua didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, he looked at the piles of paper boxes and looked forward to what kind of magic wand he would have.
"Well, this wand is very suitable for you. Many people in the Aibo family bought wands from me, trust me."
Ollivander, the legendary stick maker who is well-known throughout the UK, came from the corner with his dying voice.
Joshua walked over, only to realize that he was not the only customer in the shop.
It was a rosy-cheeked girl with two golden braids, wearing pale wizard robes.
Joshua didn't recognize who she was, but since she was picking a wand at this moment, she must be a freshman at Hogwarts as well.
"Ah, you must be a freshman at Hogwarts too. It is the most suitable place to choose a wand from me."
Under Ollivander's messy hair, a pair of eyes that seemed to be muddy in the evening showed light, and he smiled slightly and came to Joshua with a tape measure.
He first measured both of Joshua's arms, and then looked up at Joshua.
"May I ask which arm you are best at?"
"Right hand."
Ollivander turned around neatly, and began to rummage through the stacked boxes.
It was Joshua who noticed that the girl with the two braids hadn't left yet, and was looking at Joshua shyly.
When she saw Joshua's gaze turn, Ji Ling almost fell down.
Joshua went up in time to hold her arm, and showed a charming smile.
"My name is Joshua Joestar, and I think we'll be alumni in the future."
The girl's face became even more rosy. After hearing Joshua's self-introduction, she got tired of it for a while, and then whispered:
"My name is Hannah Abbott, nice to meet you."
Joshua had a certain idea in mind. It turned out that the little girl was Hannah Abbott. Although she didn't appear much in the book, she was still a very good girl. Moreover, the Abbott family was the 28 holy families in the magic world. For his It's a big money-making plan, worth making friends with.
"I didn't prepare any gifts when we met for the first time, so I'll give you this pendant."
The pendant came out of a blind box. There was a dark green "gem" on the silver necklace, but it was actually made of glass, but it was polished very brightly.
Joshua had pondered before whether the raw material was "Qingdao" or "Snowflake"
It wouldn't be necessary at first, but here is just a place to borrow flowers to present Buddha, to brush up the character's favorability.
