To be honest, Daisy completely disapproved of Albert spending a few days with others, and was dissatisfied that her son was leaving her sight during the summer vacation.
However, Albert finally succeeded in convincing the Andersons, and Grandpa Luke "coincidentally" invited Nia to stay for a few days.
Sansa welcomes her granddaughter, but she is actually a little dissatisfied with Albert going to Hogwarts. After all, in the eyes of this old man, a genius like Albert has a better future in a good middle school.
Nia was admitted to a good middle school, which made Sansa very satisfied. In fact, not only her, but also Herb and Daisy were very satisfied. It is estimated that Nia was the only one in the whole family who was dissatisfied.
"Don't give Tom too many snacks!"
When Nia got out of the car with Tom in her arms, Albert did not forget to warn her.
Nia pouted and said, "Remember to buy a gift."
"knew!"
"Take care of yourself." Daisy kissed Herb on the cheek and looked at Albert and warned.
"I will."
More than an hour later, they finally arrived at the Leaky Cauldron in London. Albert took Herb into the bar, and they both noticed that there were fewer customers in the bar.
Albert's eyes fell on the wall of the bar, where the Gringotts goblins' wanted notices for thieves were posted.
In fact, the goblins had no idea who broke into Gringotts. They could only judge that it was a dark wizard from the vault door that was burned through by fire.
There is no sincerity in this wanted notice. You must know that the wanted notices of Harry Potter and Black are both ten thousand galleons, but the wanted notice on the wall in front of Albert is only one thousand galleons.
The goblins of Gringotts are a bunch of misers.
However, Diagon Alley was as lively as ever, and Herb and Albert planned to go to Gringotts first to exchange for galleons.
Although Albert had a sum of galleons, he did not intend to use his small treasury. After all, that was the starting capital for the future.
As for the pound issue, after he learns crystal ball divination, he can try to see if his family can win a prize or something, and then the family will not be short of pounds.
Probably because it had just been invaded and robbed by dark wizards, Gringotts had a few more wizard security guards with metal rods. They were very unfriendly to the customers. It took the two of them a while to go inside and exchange pounds for galleons.
.
"I feel like they treat every guest as a robber?" Herb muttered. He hated the way the goblins looked at them.
"In fact, this is really possible. It is said that there is a magic potion that can temporarily turn a person into another person." Albert blinked and whispered, "However, I think the goblins mostly just want to restore their reputation.
After all, if a bunch of dark wizards can break into Gringotts and steal, who would dare to save money here?"
Gringotts' security system is not considered safe in Albert's eyes.
Gringotts has made it clear that the biggest trouble is the terrain. The inability to apparate is very fatal to the intruders. Even if they can really grab money, they can't escape from the complicated caves, let alone escape from the wizards and goblins in the complex environment.
The hunt was on, but...Gringotts had a fatal flaw.
The Apparition of house elves is not restricted here, because the magic systems of the three are different. The magic that prevents wizards from Apparating cannot prevent house elves from Apparating. Hogwarts School is the best example.
However, this is always forgotten by people.
As soon as he left Gringotts, Albert saw the Weasley family who were about to enter Gringotts to withdraw money.
"This is Albert Anderson, whom we mentioned before." Fred introduced Albert to his father, "My father, mother, and Ron, whom we mentioned before."
Albert's eyes lingered on Ron for a moment. He was a thin, tall, freckled boy who looked a little clumsy.
"Hello." Albert introduced, "This is my father."
"Hello, Mr. Anderson." Mr. Weasley shook hands with Herb happily, "Are you a wizard?"
"No." Herb shook hands with Mr. Weasley calmly. He didn't have much feeling for wizards since he last spent a few days with the Delacour family. After all, as a lawyer, Herb was dealing with
Very good at interpersonal relationships.
Mr. Weasley insisted on taking Herb to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink, leaving the responsibility of shopping and withdrawing money to Mrs. Weasley.
After the adults left, most of the original sense of restraint disappeared.
"Congratulations Percy, I heard you have become a prefect." Albert greeted Percy with a smile.
"Thank you!" Percy solemnly stretched out his hand and shook it.
The leader's airs made Albert hold back his laughter.
"Oh, Percy, you turned out to be a prefect?" Fred said deliberately in a surprised tone, "You should have told us earlier, I had no idea."
"I remember him saying that," said George, "once—twice?"
"No, no, he's been talking about it all summer!"
Fred and George both laughed happily.
"Shut up." Percy scolded.
Soon after, Mrs. Weasley came back and was about to take Ron to purchase the items on the list. Before they separated in Gringotts, Percy got ten galleons from Mrs. Weasley, which made the others envious.
"Dear, do you want me to help you buy new books?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley." Albert handed the book list and a small bag of galleons to Mrs. Weasley.
"so much!"
Mrs. Weasley was startled when she saw the row of book titles on the parchment.
"Well, like Percy, I plan to choose all the courses in the third grade." Albert explained casually. "Sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome. Keep an eye on the two of them for me and don't let Fred and George run around."
"We don't need anyone watching." Fred and George couldn't help complaining.
"See you later!" Albert turned to the twins and said, "Okay, let's go, I still have a bunch of things to buy."
Passing by Florin's ice cream shop, Albert bought three strawberry chocolate ice creams and ate them while shopping. Fred and George enthusiastically introduced Albert to the interesting places in Diagon Alley. They quickly turned the corner.
Entering a store that sells Dr. Philippe's fireworks, Albert bought some fireworks as a gift for Nia.
Albert re-ordered robes at Madam Malkin's robe shop, went to the drugstore to replenish medicinal materials, and bought a crystal ball at the magic goods store. After that, he turned into an old shop filled with tattered wands and copper.
Scales and old cloak.
"Don't you already have a wand?" Fred asked in confusion when he saw Albert looking for the old wand.
"Well, I'm a little interested in wandology." Albert chose a wand that was more comfortable to use and paid a Galleung for it.
"I really don't know what you're thinking," George muttered.
"Never be dissatisfied with having too few wands. It never hurts to have an extra wand," Albert said mysteriously, "even if you never need it."
