Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 42: Thoughts on the robbery of Gringotts

After staying in Santa Maria for another week, Ike said goodbye to Julianne and the little beans in the orphanage, and headed to London alone.

This was something that had been planned for a long time, and Julianne also knew that, even though she was still a little reluctant, she went with Ike.

After dragging his large luggage for a long distance, until Santa Maria was no longer visible, Ike took out his magic wand when no one was around and raised it forward.

After a deafening noise, a three-story bus suddenly stopped in front of Ike.

The door opened, and a young man with acne on his face leaned against the door frame, without raising his head, and said while holding the ticket: "Welcome to the Knight Bus, which is for witches or wizards in distress.

Emergency Transportation. Just stick out your wand and get on board and we'll take you wherever you want to go. My name is Stan Sampack, your conductor."

"Ten 11 siegoes, be honest, it's the same price no matter where you go. Of course, if you pay 14 sieges, you can get chocolate, and for 15 sieges, you can get a thermos and a toothbrush.

, you can choose the color." Stan Sampac raised his head slightly and stretched out his right hand, "Pay first, then get on the bus. We are very professional."

Ike took out 11 cicos from his pocket and handed it over. Sampaak curled his lips and helped Ike carry all the luggage into the car.

"Hold your things, the journey will be a bit bumpy. By the way, where are you going?"

"Leaky Cauldron, thank you." Ike sat on the bed, his suitcase leaning next to it, sandwiched between the two beds.

"Oh, London, it's such a long journey." Sampac muttered to himself, "The Ministry of Magic should really raise the price. Like the Muggles, such a long journey costs one Galleons."

Patting the glass, Sampac shouted: "Earn! The Leaky Cauldron!"

Upon hearing the sound, Ern Pullan put down the handbrake, stepped on the clutch, put his right hand into gear, and started with his right foot on the floor. The three-story bus suddenly sped out, and the strong inertia made Ike's body fall backwards unconsciously.

He sat up with his hands on the bed. The scenery outside the window flashed rapidly backwards. After just a few seconds, he felt dizzy. Sampaak leaned over again, holding a large piece of chocolate in his hand and shaking it.

"Would you like a piece now?"

"No, thank you." Ike shook his head slightly and refused.

"Okay, but don't throw up on the bed. It will be troublesome to clean up." Sampac shrugged and knocked on the glass behind Ern, "Hurry up, there is someone waiting for us in Manchester!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ike felt his body lean forward violently, and the bus stopped.

The door opened, and Sampac leaned against the door frame again: "We've arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, thanks for riding the Knight Bus!"

Ike waved, saluted and followed him out of the car. As soon as his feet touched the ground, there was another deafening sound, and the shadow of the Knight Bus disappeared behind him.

"Interesting, I have a chance to take one apart and have a look." Ike sighed, put this matter into his future plans, and then opened the door of the bar.

The Leaky Cauldron still looked the same, as if it had never changed. Ike walked up to the counter and said to Old Tom, who was always cleaning his wine glasses: "I want a room."

Old Tom glanced at Ike, put down his wine glass, and took out a key from under the table: "For one galleone, you can stay here until September 1st. The room is upstairs and the room number is on the key."

Ike picked up the key, which read 203, pushed a gold galleon over, turned around and went upstairs.

The guest rooms of the Leaky Cauldron continue its overall style and are very simple. There is only a bed and a bedside table, not even a chair. The hygiene of the room can be trusted, or it can be said that the cleaning spell is trusted, and it still looks very clean.

After opening the suitcase, Ike took out a small suitcase from inside, changed into his robe, left the room, and headed straight for Gringotts.

The goblins in Gringotts are still like that, being indifferent to everyone, but after seeing the golden objects in Ike's box, their attitude became much better.

"You need to exchange them for Galleons, right?" A goblin pushed up the glasses on his nose and looked at Ike critically.

"Yes." Ike nodded.

The goblin took out the gold items in the box one by one and tested them. After testing, he put them on the scale and weighed them. After a while, he took out a bag and pushed it to Ike: "The gold items are 672 ounces in total, which can be exchanged for 1224 Galleons and 13 Sickles."

120 Nats, please keep it."

Ike took the bag, poured out all the money inside, and tapped his wand on a Galleons. The scattered coins were naturally arranged according to Galleons, Sickles, and Nuts, and he reported the number: "1224

Galleons 12 Sickles 100 Nats!”

He looked at the goblin in front of him with a half-smile. The goblin didn't change his expression and took out another 1 Sico and 20 Knuts and handed it over. Ike took it and was about to put the money back into the bag when he heard the goblin say: "Money bag 1

Siko 20 kats.”

Looking up, the goblin didn't shy away and stretched out his hand to signal Ike to give him the bag. Ike threw it over casually, took out his own money bag from his robe, put the money away, and went to the place where he received the scholarship.

Put 20 galleons in the purse.

"Dark, really dark!" Ike couldn't help but cursed secretly after leaving Gringotts.

672 ounces of gold is equivalent to 19 kilograms. The current gold price is almost 28,000 pounds per kilogram of gold, and 19 kilograms is 532,000 pounds. The current exchange rate between galleons and pounds is almost 1:5, which means that the gold should be exchangeable for 106,400 Canadian pounds.

That's right, even if the exchange rate is not so accurate, there is still 100,000 galleons, but the result is only 1,224 galleons!

"Sooner or later, I'll rob you." Even though he knew that the conversion couldn't be done this way, it didn't affect Ike's plan. If it weren't for the trouble of taking the gold to a gold shop in London to exchange for pounds, Ike wouldn't want to find these money-grubbing goblins.

With his hard-earned money, Ike first bought a box with a traceless expansion spell cast on it. The 3 cubic meters of space cost Ike 20 galleons. After buying all the textbooks for the new semester, Ike only had about 20 Galleons left.

That's 1,200 Galleons.

It's really like spending money like water.

Carrying the box back to the room of the Leaky Cauldron, Ike put all his things into the new box, and then cast an identification magic on the box, which could identify Ike's magic. Only he could open the 3 cubes.

meters of space, other people can only see things in Muggle mode.

That's just a few pieces of clothing.

"I want to learn the Seamless Stretching Charm in the new semester." Ike made a new plan. Not only did he make the box the same as Newt's portable zoo, it also had to be at least as big as a house.

If possible, Ike would even like to cast a traceless stretching spell on a personal item, such as a watch, but that requires knowledge of alchemy, and now he can only think about it.
