Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Remember, don't wander around, come back directly after buying things." Irene warned, "Never go to Knockturn Alley. No matter how curious you are, never try to take risks."

"I know, Mom." Xiang Nan nodded, then picked up a pinch of Floo powder and threw it into the fireplace. When the flame turned green, he walked into the fireplace and shouted "Diagon Alley", and was immediately teleported out.

Floo powder can be teleported to any fireplace connected to the Floo network, including the Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, the Ministry of Magic, etc.

The last time Xiang Nan went to Diagon Alley with his mother Irene, he could actually teleport directly there. However, because he had to meet with the Evans family, he chose to teleport to the Leaky Cauldron.

Now Xiang Nan goes to Diagon Alley by himself, so it is naturally not so troublesome.

After arriving at Diagon Alley, Xiang Nan first changed his appearance and makeup, and then went to Gringotts to exchange currency.

In fan fiction, it is often set that there is a certain limit on the exchange of currency in Gringotts, usually fifty to two hundred Galleons.

But in fact, there is no such setting in the original novel.

The reason why this setting is added in fan fiction is that they are afraid that wizards will get a large sum of money from the Muggle world and use it to exchange for magic currency, which will lead to inflation in the magic world and even economic bankruptcy.

But in fact, they are overthinking.

On the one hand, the exchange rate between magic currency and Muggle currency is floating and not fixed; on the other hand, it is not easy for wizards to make money from Muggles.

Because from the original book, we can see that wizards know very little about the Muggle world. Even people like Arthur Weasley who are quite curious about Muggles do not understand daily necessities such as telephones, mails, subways, sockets, and even Muggle currency.

Therefore, if wizards do business with Muggles seriously, it is difficult for them to make money. And if they rely on illegal activities such as stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and cheating to try to obtain ill-gotten gains, then the Ministry of Magic’s prohibition on the abuse of the Department of Magic is not vegetarian.

Mundungus Fletcher was searched by the Ministry of Magic because he sold a few shrinking door keys to Muggles. It can be seen that the Ministry of Magic enforces the law very strictly.

Moreover, most wizards treat Muggles with condescension. Even Muggle lovers like Arthur Weasley would think they are stupid, so they disdain to make money from Muggles.

...

Besides, the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the wizarding world is very low.

Wizards don't care much about clothing, most of them are dressed in fancy and weird clothes; in terms of living, wizards don't care much either, the Weasley family's burrow seems to be built on a pigsty; in terms of transportation, wizards have flying brooms, Floo powder, Apparition, etc., each of which is much faster than cars, trains, and airplanes.

Only food is an exception, because wizards can't directly conjure food, they can only transform or increase food.

But Transfiguration can only change the appearance of things, not its inner nature. For example, fish meat can be turned into cake by Transfiguration, but it still tastes like fish meat when eaten;

Food copied by the Copying Spell is like counterfeit money and fakes. It seems to be very similar to food, but in fact it has no nutrition when eaten and is not hunger-resistant at all.

So in the original book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", when Neville, Seamus, Ginny and others hid in the Room of Requirement, they had no way to get food and could only rely on Aberforth Dumbledore, the owner of the Hog's Head Inn, to provide them with food.

If the copying spell worked, they could use it to copy a lot of food once and for all. But that was obviously ineffective.

However, the price of food in the UK has always been low. In the 1970s, a liter of milk was ten pence, a dozen eggs were thirty pence, and a kilogram of beef was seventy pence.

One pound can be exchanged for one hundred pence, so even a poor family like the Snape family can still buy 400 kilograms of beef, 3,000 liters of milk and 1,000 dozen eggs with 300 pounds of unemployment benefits every month, so there is no problem with having enough food.

It's just that Tobias Snape likes to drink and spends a lot of relief money on alcohol, so the Snape family seems to be in a difficult situation. Of course, there is still no problem filling the stomach, but the food is relatively worse.

Therefore, in the wizarding world, even a poor family like the Weasleys has no shortage of sausages, cream, eggs, butter, bread, etc. Arthur Weasley's salary alone can support a family of seven.

So in the wizarding world, except for a few people, such as Mundungus Fletcher, Borgin Burke, Horace Slughorn, Ron Weasley, etc., other people do not have a strong concept of money.

There are many people who regard money as dirt, such as Sirius Black who disdains to inherit the family inheritance; Albus Dumbledore said that he has too much property and it doesn't matter if he loses more; Nick Flamel donated a lot of wealth to Beauxbatons...

...

Therefore, very few wizards will get a large sum of money from the Muggle world and go to Gringotts to exchange it for gold galleons.

Those who would do this have already done so. For example, the Malfoy family, their family relied on the support of the British royal family to obtain fiefdoms and noble titles, and used this to collect a lot of money.

It was not until the implementation of the International Statute of Secrecy that they cut off ties with the Muggle world and used the huge wealth they had seized from the Muggle world to become the upper class of the wizarding world.

Those who wanted to do so could not do so due to their own abilities and the restrictions of the Ministry of Magic. For example, Mundungus Fletcher.

He was a thief, a broker and a liar. He took advantage of Sirius's death and swept away all the silverware in his family.

A greedy person like him would definitely be happy to cheat money from Muggles. But at most he would do some small business of reselling and cheating, and he would never dare to defraud a large sum of money.

Most wizards are not very interested in money. Even poor people like Arthur Weasley and Remus Lupin, although they are not rich and often face the trouble of lack of money, have never had any crooked ideas.

So no wizards get a large amount of Muggle currency to exchange for magic currency, which leads to inflation and economic bankruptcy in the wizarding world. Gringotts will naturally not set a limit on the exchange of Muggle currency for magic currency.

...

Xiang Nan handed over 100,000 pounds, "Convert all into Galleons."

"You want to exchange so much Muggle currency? Do you have legal proof of this money?" The goblin on the counter looked at Xiang Nan scrutinizingly.

It is rare to exchange such a large amount of money, and it requires Xiang Nan to verify the source of the money. Otherwise, it is impossible to exchange it. After all, Gringotts is a wizard bank, a legitimate company, not a place for criminals to sell stolen goods and launder money.

At the same time, the goblin counter also has a peep mirror, a magic mirror, a mystery detector, a black magic detector, etc. If Xiang Nan has a guilty conscience, he will definitely not escape its detection.
