Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin
Chapter 16 16. Gold and Galleon
Gargamel is the name Dudley gave himself.
Because Dudley's impression of Gargamel was that he basically didn't cast spells, but kept brewing potions, and Dudley felt that this was very similar to himself.
Although he has more lush hair than the real Gargamel, his physique can beat twenty such skinny guys in one go.
Do you think this is a gathering place for wizards?
No! Dudley couldn't get into that kind of place.
This is where the Squibs hang out.
The Squibs couldn't cast spells, so the room wasn't cast with the No Trace Stretching Charm, and the image of a down-and-out wizard wasn't great, let alone a Squib's image.
The life of Squibs in the wizarding world is not easy, because they don't know magic, which means that they can't engage in magic-related professions, which means that they have no source of income. After all, not every Squib is like a Hogwarts administrator. Mr. Filch was so lucky.
If Squib wants to live in the wizarding world without relying on family support, he must find another way out and find other ways.
They are the bottom of the wizarding world
Therefore, Squibs often travel between the Muggle world and the wizarding world in order to survive, and they are also the people who Muggles are most likely to get in touch with about the wizarding world.
After all, those wizards who claim to be superior never look directly at Muggles.
The profile of the squire was the best of the bunch, and even so, the clothes looked greasy and dirty.
Except for a very few Squibs like Mrs. Figg, don't expect most Squibs to be hygienic. They refuse to use Muggle washing powder and cleaning agents, but they don't know the wizard's "clean up" spell.
There's only one word to describe sloppy.
The wizards have Hogsmeade anyway, but the Squibs don't have that strength. They can only live in the houses built by the Muggles.
When passing by a room, Dudley vaguely heard a few words coming out of it. Such as magic, instant
The servant led Dudley into the deepest room in the house with a flattering expression on his face.
There is an agreed place of transaction.
Dudley was their big client, so he naturally had to be careful with him.
In the room, there were a few squibs who had been waiting here for a long time. After Dudley entered the room, they all stood up and looked at Dudley with flattering expressions.
"Where's the stuff?" Dudley got straight to the point as soon as he entered the room.
The main reason is that the smell here is too bad. As an existence with a normal sense of smell or even surpassing that of ordinary people, he doesn't want to stay for a moment.
"Dear Mr. Gargamel, this is what you want."
A squib who looked a little cleaner in the room handed a small satchel to Dudley.
Dudley took the small satchel, opened it and took a look. It was obvious that the satchel had been cast with the No Trace Stretching Charm. The space inside was much larger than it looked, but the space was so large and extremely limited that it could only store more something.
Jumping root, gill sac grass, scurvy, lovage, sneezeweed, and other common medicinal materials that are familiar to the magic world are neatly placed in glass bottles. In addition, there are several magic books.
'Enough for myself for a while. '
Dudley took a cursory glance. Although the quality of these potions was not high-quality, they were not too bad.
The main reason is that he can't go to the world of wizards to buy them himself, so it's good to be able to get these.
"The stuff is right, but I hope to get some slightly rarer materials next time. For example, fire ash snake eggs, skydiving caps, troll snot, sap grass, African tree snake skin, etc."
"The things you mentioned are not easy to get." The squib said so first, then rubbed his fingers and said, "But if the price is right, it's fine. Since you are satisfied with the things this time, you can see."
The Squib just said casually that many of the materials Dudley wanted were contraband, and it was hard for even normal wizards to get them, let alone them.
In fact, Dudley also wanted some powdered bicorn horns, but those were contraband items, and it was impossible to expect Squibs to get them.
"As long as you can get it for me, money is not a problem."
Dudley said as he put the small bag on the table, then poured it out.
The group of squibs in the room stared straight at each other, their eyes full of greed.
Under the dim light, it was bright and golden, blinding the eyes.
It's all gold inside.
Naturally, Dudley and the Squib traded in pounds, they only accepted gold.
It's not that Squibs are old antiques, but because gold can barely be used as currency in the magic world.
Gold is a hard currency if there is no magic stone turning everything into gold to disrupt the market.
After all, one of the main raw materials of Gallon is gold.
In fact, Gringotts in the wizarding world provides a service of exchanging British pounds for gold galleons. Five pounds can be exchanged for one galleon, but the upper limit for one year is 100 gold galleons, and it is only for young wizards studying at Hogwarts.
Ordinary people can't take advantage of the price difference loopholes to make profits. Don't think that those goblins are idiots. Their desire and greed for money is far beyond your imagination.
Going to Gringotts to exchange this bag of gold, you can only get a pitiful amount of Galleons.
Galleons are gold, but gold is not equal to Galleons, and the fairies need special processing methods and numbering.
Excluding the cost of magic materials, the Squibs are earning hard money, most of which are earned by the goblins.
It has to be said that the wizard is really nervous, and he actually handed over his economic lifeline to a defeated race.
"Pleasant cooperation."
Dudley was in a good mood because of a small bag with no trace of stretching spells. Without even looking at the gold on the table, he carefully put the satchel away, and said to the Squib.
Now he is not short of money, only the potion materials.
And he discovered that as long as the potion was prepared well, it was not much worse than ordinary wizards.
The power of certain potions is actually quite extraordinary.
"Happy cooperation." Needless to say, the Squibs are in a mood to win gold.
As for robbing Dudley to get the potion ingredients back, I never thought about it at all. It's useless for them to ask for potion ingredients as a squib, and it's hard to find someone as rich as Dudley this year.
Offending him would be a huge loss.
Besides, Squibs don't know how to cast spells, so what can they do to rob them? Melee?
Looking at Dudley's sturdy and unremarkable figure, all thoughts that he had originally were extinguished.
Dudley went out from the alley, and soon got into the car at the appointed place, and then the driver drove to a property, which was a place where Dudley bought specially used to store potions, and there was still some time before noon , he has to put things away first.
For the time being, there is no need for Penny, who hates magic, to see it.
At least not yet.
