Admiral of Hogwarts

The leading goblin walked directly along the road to the right side of the hall, then guided the Granger family to a barred counter and left. In front of them, a woman wearing fashionable ordinary clothes was leaving with a curly-haired boy.

"Hello, we need to exchange some pounds." Looking at the now empty counter, Mr. Granger took a few steps forward and walked to the counter. "Because my kids are going to Hogwarts, so"

"Understood." Before Mr. Granger finished speaking, the goblin sitting behind the counter pushed up the glasses on his nose and looked at him and said, "Now please state the name of the new student. We want to make sure one time."

"Hermione Granger and Hugo Granger." Mr. Granger asked after the goblin read out the names of the two children. “Excuse me, why do I need to check the list if I want to exchange currency? Are there any restrictions on exchange?”

"Of course there are restrictions. After all, your Muggle money is not very useful to us. So according to the regulations, each wizard can only exchange pounds for no more than 150 Galleons. Of course, if you have this new type of money at home, For students, this limit will be increased to 200 galleons." The goblin said while checking the list in his hand, and his finger pointed at a certain position on the parchment scroll in his hand.

"Found it, Hermione Granger and Hugo Granger" said the goblin and raised his head. "You are their guardian. Today you can exchange a total of 400 galleons for your children, which is 2000 pounds."

"Okay." Considering that the bank did not open to the magical world, Mr. Granger went to the bank last night to withdraw a lot of cash and took it with him, which he could use at this time.

After counting the stack of banknotes handed over by Mr. Granger, the goblin took out two small leather bags that had been packed in advance from under the counter. After taking the bag and opening it, Mr. Granger saw that there were some gold coins the size of beer bottle caps in the bag.

"Is this a gold coin?" Mr. Granger asked curiously after taking out a gold Galleons and weighing it in his palm. “It always feels like it’s not as heavy as pure gold.”

"Don't use your Muggle thinking to guess the power of our goblins." The ears of these goblins are much more sensitive than imagined, so after hearing Mr. Granger's words, he immediately retorted excitedly. "The most valuable thing on these real gold galleons is the magical magic we attached to them, not the gold."

"I'm sorry, because I didn't know this before." Looking at the excited goblin in front of him, Mr. Granger quickly apologized. The goblin quickly calmed down after confirming Mr. Granger's Muggle identity, and then waved He waved them off. At the same time he was mumbling: "Oh, these Muggles"

Fortunately, after walking out of the gate of Gringotts, the sunshine on the street cheered everyone up a lot, and at the same time, they forgot the unhappiness they felt when withdrawing money.

"Where should we go next?" Hermione asked first. "I remember that the first item on that list was to buy three sets of black plain work robes, so let's go to the clothing store first."

"No," said Mr. Granger, shaking his head. "Don't forget that the owner of the tavern repeatedly emphasized the importance of the wand, so I think the first thing we should buy is the wand."

After discussing the plan, everyone walked deeper into the alley under the leadership of Mr. Granger, because in their memory, none of the shops they passed just now sold wands. Because Diagon Alley is not very long, they quickly visited the entire commercial street, and then walked back a little to the entrance of the only wand shop on the entire street.

The shop was old and shabby, and the gold sign on the door had peeled off. It read: Ollivanders: Making exquisite wands since 382 BC. In the dusty window, a solitary wand sat on a faded purple cushion.

"Look, that's the bad thing about monopoly," said Mr. Granger, standing in front of the store. "After all, wizards can do magic, but they are still human beings and they also like a clean and tidy environment. So although other shops on this street have small facades, most of them are clean and tidy."

"But as necessities for wizards, this is the only place on the whole street that sells them. I think this is why the boss here allows his shop to become so dirty."

"Well, what you said is probably right. But now the children should go buy their wands instead of listening to your tirade here." Looking at Mr. Granger who wanted to say something more, Mrs. Granger He immediately interrupted and walked up the steps and opened the door. Seeing this, Mr. Granger could only shake his head and lead the children into the wand shop.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." Just after Hugo and the others entered the store, a soft voice came from behind a pile of wand boxes. Then an old man with big silver-white eyes walked out of the darkness of the room, then lowered his head and looked at Hugo and Hermione.

"Okay, which one of you two is the new student at Hogwarts this year?" Ollivander lowered his head and asked. "Only wizards can use wands, and it is impossible for Muggles to use that mysterious power."

"We all are, sir." Hugo said, and at the same time, Mrs. Granger took out two identical Hogwarts admission notices from her handbag to prove that what her child said was true.

"Ah, two twin brothers and sisters from Muggle families became wizards at the same time. Yes, yes, I should know." Perhaps because of Hugo's initiative to speak just now, Ollivander mistakenly thought that he was his elder brother at home. "I think I have a wand here for you."

"You should know, but you don't even know how old we are." Hugo cursed in his heart when Ollivander turned around and took out a ruler from the shelf to measure Hermione's physical data, but considering that in this world, the magic wand Due to its importance to wizards, Ollivander's pretense as a master wandmaker should be good for his business.

After measuring the data of the two people, Ollivander quickly turned around and walked to the pile of boxes behind him to rummage. A few minutes later, he came from the back of the room holding a dozen boxes.

"I think there should be a wand suitable for you." He opened a box and handed the wand inside to Hermione. "Try this, ten inches, made of olive wood and unicorn tail hair"

Trying on a magic wand is a very boring thing, even though it should be a very important thing to Hugo. But the repetitive action of picking up a small wooden stick and swinging it around is still very boring if it lasts for more than five minutes. But luckily, when he tried the 16th wand, he finally found the wand that suited him.
