Hogwarts: The Greatest Wizard

Chapter 5: A Trip to Diagon Alley

Finny walked in and found a goblin and said,

"Hello, I need to get something from the Black family's vault."

The goblin looked at Feeney carefully and asked after a moment,

"Do you have the key, sir?"

Feeney took out a key from his pocket and handed it to the goblin and said,

"Of course, here."

The goblin took the key, looked at it carefully, nodded and said,

"Very well, please follow me."

After saying that, he took both Finny and Kreacher into a door next to the hall. When he opened the door, he saw a narrow stone passage illuminated by burning torches.

This is Finny's first time coming to Gringotts, after all, his age puts him there.

The passage in front of him extended downward very steeply, and there was a long track on the ground.

Under the control of the goblin, they got into a very simple car.

The car followed the track through this bottomless passage, and then came to a huge underground cave. On the wall of this cave, there were many gates.

However, they are not the target of Feeney and his team. Their destination is the lowest level of the underground vault.

The twenty-eight holy families in the wizarding world all have their own family treasury at the bottom of this underground cave. This was set up when Gringotts was established. Many families even have shares in Gringotts. ,

After a while, the car stopped in front of a gate. This gate was made of an unknown metal material. It was very tall and hard. Even powerful magic could not open it. Of course, the goblin The magic is okay, after all, they built this place.

On the top of the gate is carved a huge portrait, a shield decorated with a mountain symbol, two five-pointed stars and a short sword. On both sides of the shield are two leaping greyhounds, which is the emblem of the Black family. .

The goblin turned back to Feeney and said,

"Sir, please give me the key,"

After hearing this, Feeney handed over the key, and then watched the goblin open the door with some complicated operations.

Inside the gate is a huge underground vault.

Many gold galleons were discarded in piles in the center of the treasury.

The reason why it is said to be discarded is because compared with other things around, these gold galleons were indeed placed less solemnly.

Feeney did not go directly to get the gold galleons, but walked to a corner of the underground vault.

In the family records, Feeney saw a box with a traceless stretching spell fixed here.

Sure enough, Feeney found this box here. It was a box with the Black family crest printed on it. It was very old.

It is not only a magic item, but also an antique, and can even be said to be a family legacy.

This box is different from many boxes with space on the market today.

Rumor has it that decades ago, the famous magical zoologist Newt Scamander once had this magical box, which was made by all the Hogwarts students and professors together. .

The space inside the box was very large, and Newt divided it into several areas for raising some magical animals.

Such a box can be said to be a rare treasure, priceless.

However, the box in front of Feeney is even more precious.

In fact, the space of this box is much smaller than Newt's.

However, it is even more precious,

There is a generally accepted common sense in the magic world that is put on the surface, that is, items that have been casted with the Traceless Stretch Curse, because of the space magic fixed on them,

It cannot be placed into other space items.

For example, if you put a wallet that has been casted with the Invisible Stretching Spell into a box that is also cast with this spell, both the wallet and the box will be destroyed, and all the contents will fall out.

Even some poorly made items cannot be used with other magics, otherwise they will become unstable. This is one of the reasons why the Ministry of Magic does not allow the private manufacture of such items.

The most precious thing about the box in front of Feeney is that it can be placed among other space items, and it will not be destroyed, nor will it damage the item.

It can also be cast with some spells. For example, if Finny wants to, he can cast a shrinking spell on him and put it in his pocket.

Moreover, this box also has extremely strict confidentiality magic. Only people from the Black family, or people recognized by the Black family, can use it.

Once it has an owner, even members of the Black family cannot open its real space without the owner's consent.

"Okay, Kreacher go get some galleons, we're leaving,"

Feeney handed the box to Creech and casually ordered how many Galleons to take. Feeney really had no idea and didn't care at all.

The Black family is very rich. To say they are the richest people in the wizarding world is a bit excessive, but the top few are still more than enough.

After bidding farewell to the goblin who led the way, Finny took Kreacher to the final destination of their trip, Ollivander's Wand Shop.

In fact, the appearance of Ollivander's Wand Shop is completely inconsistent with its reputation. It is a very small and shabby shop.

Peeling gold letters on the door read: "Ollivanders: Crafting fine wands since 382 BC."

In the shop window, a solitary magic wand was placed on a faded purple cushion. The shop was small, with nothing but a bench in the corner.

When I pushed open the door, a ring rang from somewhere, which was very piercing. What caught my eye was thousands of long and narrow paper boxes containing magic wands piled from floor to ceiling, with a thin layer of dust everywhere.

"Ah, hello, a young wizard, what can I do for you?"

A gentle voice came from behind the counter.

Finny looked over and saw a white-haired old man with pale but bright eyes standing there, saying to him,

"Oh, please forgive me for not noticing this house-elf. So, you are Mr. Phineas Black? I guess you need a wand."

Finny nodded and said nothing. He knew who the old man in front of him was, Garrick Ollivander, who was also a member of the 28 pure-blood families.

The Ollivander family is recognized as the best wand maker in the UK and is also among the best in Europe. The Ollivander family started running the wand business in 382 BC. Although there are other wand makers in the UK, most British people still buy wands from Ollivander, including almost all the freshmen who are about to enter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
