- #105 - Chapter 105 Diagon Alley Procurement
Visiting the old place again, the scenery remains the same.
Ian supported the dizzy Hermione with one hand while looking at the lively scene in Diagon Alley after half a year. Everything seemed like yesterday.
But he is no longer the panicked young man he once was.
He paused for a moment and waited for a while. Then he asked: “Is it better? We will choose other means of transportation next time.”
“I’m fine. It’s just that I’m a little uncomfortable with it the first time. And this way of traveling is really cool, it feels like extreme speed.” Hermione immediately retorted when she heard that she wanted to change transportation.
“Okay, I won’t change it then.” Ian said easily.
Compared to others, the high ticket price may be a burden, but for Ian, this level of expense is a drop in the ocean.
When he thought that he still had dozens of cubes of gold in his backpack that he had not processed, he said to Hermione: “Let’s go to Gringotts first. I’ll exchange for some Galleons, and I’ll need to buy a lot of potion materials later.”
Hermione asked curiously: “Exchange for galleons?”
“Yes, my mother left me gold instead of Galleons. She may have thought that I would live in the Muggle world in the future, who knows…”
With that said, the two of them walked towards Gringotts, and were led by an elf to an empty counter, while Hermione chose to wait in the lobby in an educated manner.
“Hello, I want to exchange some galleons.” Ian walked to the counter to express his intention.
Perhaps due to Ian’s temperament and clothing, the goblin at the counter did not show any impoliteness, but showed a hint of subtle disappointment when he heard that it was a galleons exchange business.
“The maximum amount that current Hogwarts students can exchange for a year is 100 galleons. I need your proof of identity to ensure that you still have the remaining amount for this school year.”
Ian didn’t waste any time on this, and directly took out 20 gold bars that had been prepared for a long time. Each one was a bank-standard gold bar weighing 200 grams, and poured them all onto the counter with a clatter.
“Please hurry up, my time is limited.” Ian said calmly, but his expression was a little cold.
It was as if the goblin was born with the attribute of following others. After seeing the expressions of Gold and Ian, he immediately showed that flattering smile.
“Dear sir, it will be ready soon. Can the galleons exchanged be placed directly in your treasury?”
…
If the goblins do their work seriously, the efficiency is actually quite high. They weigh, check the purity, and then check the number of Galleons. All in all, the whole process does not take more than 20 minutes.
Two kilograms of high-purity gold have been reduced to 4,500 Galleons, and according to the goblin, this is a discount for big customers…
Ian didn’t care about these details. A little more or a little less, so what, it was just a matter of riding a broom and visiting a few more banks.
After all the Galleons were put into the backpack, he came to Hermione alone.
“Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, goblins are too sensitive about money.” Ian explained apologetically.
Hermione smiled and said nonchalantly: “It’s okay, it didn’t take long. Have you finished redeeming it? What should we do next?”
“It’s all done, now we just need to buy some potion ingredients, and then we can go shopping.”
The most important purpose of Ian’s coming to Diagon Alley is to purchase the various materials needed for the blood potion. As the return time is getting closer, he must hurry up and prepare all the necessary things.
I silently glanced at the countdown in my mind: 26:35:22…
Based on the capacity of the phoenix blood provided by Dumbledore, Ian estimated that under the best circumstances, this amount of blood would only be enough for him to brew 15 times. Therefore, the materials he purchased this time were also purchased based on the amount of blood used.
…
Half an hour later.
After coming out of Slug Giggs Potions Store, Ian breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he had solved all the important things.
“Hermione, can I buy you an owl?” It suddenly occurred to Hermione that she still didn’t have an owl of her own.
“Forget it, wait until next semester. The galleons I exchanged have already been used to buy books.” Hermione directly stated her situation.
Ian was a little silent when he heard this. The girl never thought of asking him to spend money from beginning to end, which had to be admired for the concept of gender equality here.
Even so, he still wanted to buy Hermione something. “Consider this time a gift from me, and don’t you think having an owl will be very convenient for us to communicate or for you to write letters home.”
At the same time, Ian didn’t want to destroy this harmonious concept, but he wanted to help Hermione, and then said: “Also, don’t worry about the amount. If you need Galleons, just exchange it with me directly. I will Just in need of pounds.”
Ian knew a lot about Hermione’s family background. To put it bluntly, if Galleons were exchanged for pounds, Mr. Granger’s wealth would not be inferior to that of those purebloods.
After all, the clinics in the UK are different from those in his previous life. Those who can open private clinics in the UK are big guys, absolutely aristocratic doctors. On the contrary, public hospitals are worse, and their services tend to cater to middle- and lower-income groups.
After hearing what Ian said, Hermione’s eyes suddenly lit up and she asked with some anticipation: “Are you sure you can do it? I mean, I want to exchange a lot of galleons.”
Speaking of this, the girl was a little embarrassed. Maybe she felt that her request was a bit too much, and then explained: “It’s not too much, just 100 galleons. I have saved a lot of pocket money myself…”
Well, Ian suddenly felt that he still underestimated Mr. Granger’s income and underestimated Hermione’s personal treasury. It was him who took the liberty…
Gringotts’ exchange rate this year is 1:5, 100 galleons is equivalent to 500 pounds. 500 pounds in 1991 was equivalent to at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in the previous life. A girl under 13 years old could spend so much in pocket money.
And obviously this is not all she has… Perhaps considering her Galleons reserve, she chose to exchange only ‘a little bit’
But in this kind of thing, Ian can’t seem stingy under any circumstances.
“My mother left me about 1 million Galleons…so you can exchange it for as much as you want.” Ian casually quoted a number. For a dozen cubic meters of gold, 1 million Galleons was more than enough.
Perhaps she was shocked by this number, Hermione opened her mouth in surprise and didn’t speak for a long time.
“Come back to your senses… Galleons, as long as they are enough, they are just a number.” Ian also said something he once despised.
However, it seemed that Hermione was very useful. The girl nodded in agreement and said: “Indeed, it is enough. My father often said that we make money to enjoy life, not just to make money.”
Ian still admires Hermione’s values very much.
