Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

"Hey, man, what are you doing?" At this time, another wizard came over and asked curiously.

"Oh, I don't know what's wrong. The door to Diagon Alley can't be opened. Why don't you try."

But what confused them was that the wizard couldn't open it either.

"Tom! Come on, the door to Diagon Alley is broken!" The two had no choice but to call their boss Tom to come forward.

It was his voice that attracted all the drinkers in the bar to watch the fun.

However, none of these wizards, who are hundreds of years old in total, have found a way to open Diagon Alley! Their usual habits make them rely too much on that cute trash can.

But their habit was broken when the trash can was kicked by a cute-looking naughty kid.

Just like this, a large circle of wizards nestled in the small patio, knocking bricks one by one, trying to find that familiar stepping stone~

Until a tall, thin man dressed in black robes, with greasy hair and a gloomy face walked over.

Snape was absolutely speechless to this group of idiots who were so drunk that they could hardly distinguish north from south! He pulled out his magic wand to push aside the crowd and hit the magic brick.

The door opened~ The wizards cheered, completely unaware of Snape's dark expression.

"Thank you so much, Snape." Tom thanked him excitedly.

"You're welcome Tom, I hope you remember which brick I just knocked, otherwise the next time a wizard moves the location of the trash can, you won't be able to find it." After saying that, he shook his black robe and said, Professor Snape left heartlessly.

He didn't want to see these idiots for another second...

Professor McGonagall had no idea that Alvin, whom she thought was very well-behaved, had secretly done something bad.

Gringotts——

The first door of Gringotts is a shiny bronze door. Goblin guards in scarlet and gold uniforms stand at the door, bowing to customers when they come.

The second door is silver, with the following words engraved on it:

Come in, stranger, but beware, what will happen if you are greedy!

Asking blindly and getting something for nothing will be punished severely!

So if you try to take from our underground vaults a treasure that was never yours, you thief, you have been warned, beware not of treasure but of evil.

After passing through the second silver door and entering the spacious marble hall, about a hundred goblins sat behind the long counter and scribbled entries in the large ledger. Some use scales to weigh coins, while others use eyepieces to detect gems.

"It seems that the preparations are correct." Mr. Bartlett muttered quietly.

"Hello, I need to exchange some galleons." Professor McGonagall did not step forward, but asked the Margrave family to go and handle it themselves.

Unlike Harry, Ivan doesn't have a guardian and needs Hagrid's help. If there is a guardian, the goblin will handle this kind of thing.

"It's a little Muggle wizard again, okay, how much do you need to exchange?" The goblin's attitude was very bad. Although goblins are all bad, being so straightforward still aroused Ivan's dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, can you exchange any amount you want! Then exchange it for one million for me. My family is not short of money." Ivan crossed his arms across his chest and looked coldly at this goblin who looked like a moldy potato.

"No! It can't be that much. Each Muggle-born wizard can exchange up to 200 Galleons. Gringotts is not a Muggle charity." The goblin was a little anxious, one million! How dare you say it!

"Haha, innocent child, the wizarding world does not need so much useless Muggle currency. Those ink-covered papers have nothing to do with great magic!"

An arrogant voice sounded, and a tall man with luxurious clothes, long platinum hair, but a face as pale as a kidney, walked to the next door with a small platinum carrot head.

After hearing Ai Wen's words, he laughed out loud.

None other than the famous Malfoy and his son~

Alvin didn't expect to see the father and son here. He thought he would not meet them until school started.

But this arrogant look is really annoying. Look at Malfoy's round little head, it's almost lifted to the sky.

"Get me five hundred galleons."

"Okay, distinguished Mr. Malfoy." The goblin at the counter next door said respectfully. He was very good at meeting people and placing dishes.

"Really, since we don't accept those banknotes, how about these! If we don't accept them, it's hard not to doubt Gringotts' economic strength."

Mr. Bartlett's voice came from behind Alvin, but this time his tone was no longer polite, but arrogant and strong.

this moment! The leader of an ancient family and the prestige of a business tycoon are clearly displayed.

pat~

The box that Bartlett brought was heavily placed on the counter. When the box was opened, half of it was filled with golden gold bricks, and the other half was filled with gems that were as big as pigeon eggs, white, red, blue, etc. ~

And the quality is excellent.

Although the Margrave family has lost its former glory in the new century, it is a family with ancient and modern influence. It has been inherited for a long time, and its strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

A whole box of treasures attracted the goblins at the counter to poke their heads in. It wasn't that they had never seen it before, but the greed in their bones made them unable to help themselves.

Even Malfoy and his son were shocked! Although the Malfoy family is very rich, since that person failed and paid a lot of money to escape, the family has become more careful.

Nowadays, a Muggle actually displays such a huge wealth arrogantly, which makes Lucius's proud heart feel a little uncomfortable~

Once upon a time, he was also a person who spent money without blinking an eye and without keeping accounts...

But what Ivan and his son were thinking was that Mr. Bartlett was pretending to be good, but if he dropped such heavy gold jewelry on the counter, would anything happen to his arms?

Alvin was not surprised by his father's generosity, because on his fifth birthday, his grandfather, the head of the Margrave family, built him a small castle with gold bars for him to play with.

Even though gold is very valuable, an ancient family like Margrave still has a large inventory in its private treasury. There is never a shortage of this kind of hard currency in a big family, otherwise you would think where all the gold in history has gone!

It’s impossible for everything to be buried in the ground or disappear out of thin air~

[PS: Novel! novel! novel! Everything is just to round up the article! 】

(Regarding the Galleon exchange, the original novel does not explicitly mention this, but this is basically tacitly accepted in the fan fiction, so I followed suit. However, I added a hundred, after all, other fan fictions said a hundred Galleons, but the information I found showed that a hundred seemed not enough for freshmen to purchase for school.)

Chapter 4 Shopping with Malfoy

"Oh~ what happened?"

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of Professor McGonagall.

"It's nothing Professor McGonagall, it's just that the Goblin Lord seems to doubt my financial resources as a Muggle, so I'm glad I brought some change, but I am a Muggle after all. I hope Professor McGonagall can help me take a look. Gringotts Is the price reasonable?”

Along the way, the Bartletts also heard the word Muggle and asked Professor McGonagall. Of course they knew what it meant, so he was a little unhappy now.

"Sir, our Gringotts..."

"What! Aren't you going to take it? Then I'll take it away?"

"No, no, no! What I want to say is that we at Gringotts will give you a fair price, I guarantee you this!" The goblin's attitude changed visibly.

Seeing this scene, especially with Professor McGonagall present, the goblin obviously knew that things were going to be a big deal this time.

This little Muggle wizard must be a new student. If Professor McGonagall goes back to report to Dumbledore that he bullies the students at Hogwarts, there will be big trouble!

Again! This box of jewelry is really tempting~

The goblin exchanged it for thirty-six thousand Galleons. The smallest red gem inside was very valuable and even had certain magical properties and could be used as an alchemy material. Therefore, this small box of jewelry gave thirty-six thousand Galleons. price.

After opening an account, going through the formalities, and withdrawing some Galleons, the goblin from Gringotts apologized and gave me a wallet with a space-expanding spell cast on it.

It's not big, just about the size of a palm, with a space the size of a schoolbag inside.

After all, the Space Expansion Spell is restricted by the Ministry of Magic. Only some items specially approved by the Ministry can be used, and Gringotts happens to have this special approval.

After the farce ended, the two groups who had completed the formalities said hello.

"Professor McGonagall, nice to meet you. This is my son, Draco Malfoy. He will be your student soon." Lucius looked back at Draco.

"This is Professor McGonagall, show your courtesy!"

"Hello, Professor McGonagall, my name is Draco Malfoy, nice to meet you." Although Brother Yan was embarrassed, he still maintained the noble manners very well.

"Hello, young Mr. Malfoy! Oh~ By the way, this is Ivan. He will be your classmate soon." Although Professor McGonagall disliked Lucius because of that man, she did not take her anger out on the child. She introduced Ivan as a way to give herself something to talk about.

"Hello, Malfoy, I'm Ivan Margrave, nice to meet you." Seeing that he was mentioned, Ivan took the initiative to greet the young master, and at the same time, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes~

"Hello, Margrave." Draco responded politely. Although he was taught to look down on Muggles, in front of a Hogwarts professor, and when the other party took the initiative to greet him, he would reluctantly give you a smile.

Seeing the other party's appearance, coupled with the impression he had seen of this little guy before, Aiwen silently made a note in his heart.

"Good boy, wait for me! Pretend for me, don't get into my hands in the future." Although he secretly kept a small note in his heart, Ai Wen still maintained his etiquette on the surface.

"Hello, Lucius Malfoy, nice to meet you." Out of dignity, even though he looked down on Muggles, Lucius still said hello to the Bartletts.

Due to the aura of the Margrave family's appearance and Bartlett's action just now, Lucius could tell that this family's identity was very unusual, so it was not shameful to say hello.

"Barit Margrave, my wife Alina Margrave, I am very happy to meet the descendants of the Malfoy family." Bartlet guessed the identity of Lucius and his son, so he was very confident in his aura. Gotta die.

"Have you heard of Malfoy?" Lucius found it hard to imagine that there were still Muggles who could recognize Malfoy.

"Of course, although Sir Armand Malfoy's great achievements have been silent in history, I am honored to learn about this history under the teachings of a private tutor. After all, the lessons of nobles are always a bit special, don't you think so, Lu? Mr. Hughes." What Bartlett said was neither humble nor arrogant, and his momentum even seemed to overwhelm Lucius.

Bartlet's inner world: Demo, who are you crazy about! Whose family is not an ancient aristocrat? You are just pretending to me that you are stupid!

(Aiwen emerges from the narration world: "Hey, hey, hey! Say yes! This is not caused by my father! I am still a child, this is his own appearance! It has nothing to do with me as a time traveler, it doesn't matter !”

Alvin disappears from the narrator’s world again~)

Lucius was immediately elated when he saw someone saying good things about his ancestor, and the temperament of Bartlett also made him take a new look at this "Muggle".

The look in his eyes confirmed that this was no ordinary person!

You can't just treat me like an ordinary Muggle, but I seem to be a noble, and I know their noble Malfoy family, so I can give them some face~

"Yes, Mr. Margrave, you are right."

Although Lucius is arrogant, he is not stupid! Even if he is a Muggle, if his status is worthy and it can bring benefits, then he doesn't mind giving him more face. After all, the Malfoy family has been deceived and is no longer as glorious as it used to be.

If this Muggle aristocrat, who still looks so glamorous, can bring benefits to the Malfoy family, then he will be willing to let his son make such a friend.

"Professor McGonagall, you should have other students to take care of, right? Let me accompany the Margrave family for the next purchase. What do you think?"

"Let's see what Mr. Bartlett's opinion is." Professor McGonagall was a little hesitant. She didn't want the Irvine family to have too much contact with this former Death Eater.

But she does have a child to take care of, and then she has to go back to school to deal with senior homework and some college issues, so time is really tight.

Thinking about Bartlett's move just now, Professor Maomao was thinking about whether he should mention it to Principal Lao Bee later to raise his salary~ This day in and day out process was really tiring.

(Dumbledore eating a pile of cockroaches: "Haha~" (#＞ ? ＜) з)

"It's okay, Professor McGonagall. If you still have something to do, you can do something first. I believe Mr. Malfoy will take good care of us." Ivan gave an appropriate step.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Lucius." Seeing Bartlett nodding in agreement, Professor McGonagall also agreed.

"You're welcome, Professor McGonagall."
