Chapter 62 Opening an Account
They passed bookstores, record stores, burger joints, movie theaters.Just didn't see a place selling wands, Harry couldn't help but look curiously at Dudley who was finally calm beside him.
Dudley received Harry's questioning gaze, and was about to show the wisdom in his brain, when he suddenly realized that he was in this world, but he was just a person who came to the wizarding world for the first time.There must be something wrong with suddenly saying so many things about who doesn't quite fit who you are.So he obediently shut up and followed the person in front of him.
"Here we are." Severus stopped, turned sideways, and let the two children behind him take a good look at this dirty and small bar.
"This is it?" Harry's eyes widened in disbelief, if Severus hadn't let them out for them to see.Harry walked up and down the street dozens of times without noticing the Leaky Cauldron between a bookstore and a record store.
All kinds of people passing by them didn't seem to see the bar.Everyone was carrying a leather briefcase and hurried past, almost like a stranger passing by.
"Are we the only ones who can see it? Sir." Harry observed keenly, except for the three of them whose eyes stayed on the door plate of this bar.The passers-by who passed by them did not pay any extra attention to the facade of this bar.
"Of course." Severus pushed the door open and went in without giving the two children behind him too much time to ask questions.
Dudley had only read about this place in books, and that feeling was different from experiencing it himself.It's like the three of them are in a dark and dirty bar, and a few old ladies are sitting in the corner drinking sherry with small glasses.When they entered, many people looked in their direction.
A small man in a top hat is chatting with a bar owner who has only a few strands of hair left.After the three people walked in, the chirping sound disappeared.Everyone here knew Potions Master Severus Chan.The owner of the bar waved to Severus, picked up a cup with a smile and said, "How is Chen's health recently? Professor."
"Sir's body is still the same, thank you for your concern." Severus just smiled slightly at Tom Laurian without saying too much.
Tom Laurian was used to this indifferent professor.Looking at the grown-up Severus in front of him, he vaguely remembered that the person in front of him was just a teenager many years ago.So he came to the Leaky Cauldron by himself. His cold personality made many children of his age reluctant to play with him.
If Dumbledore hadn't told him that this child was Chen's adopted son, he might not have known until now that Chen had fallen into a deep sleep under a strange spell and still hadn't woken up.
"Could this be?" Tom Laurien put down his glass, looked at Harry carefully, and said in shock, "Is this Harry Potter?"
There was a sudden silence in the Leaky Cauldron.
Dudley enjoyed this dramatic feeling very much, but what he was struggling with now was that many people seemed to know Chen Junyu.However, he didn't delve into this issue any more. The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. This has always been his way of understanding.
"What an honor! Harry Potter." Laurian hurried out from the backstage of the bar, ran towards Harry, grabbed his hand, and burst into tears with excitement.
The impatient look on Severus' face became more and more serious, and some people who wanted to come over to congratulate, or shake hands with Mr. Harry Potter, were blocked by the cold air.
In addition to being arrested, of course he is the owner of the bar.
"I think the famous Mr. Harry Potter needs to go buy his school supplies." Severus reminded Laurien who was still holding on to Harry's hand.
"Oh! Yes, yes." Reluctantly letting go of Harry's hand, Laurien found a little boy with blond hair standing beside Harry Potter.
Harry looked particularly embarrassed, if Cousin Dudley hadn't been holding his hand tightly.He is probably already nervous now, and he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet.
All around was the crackling sound of chairs, and Harry noticed that everyone around him stood up from their chairs.A look of wanting to get close but not daring to get close.Thinking of so many people wanting to shake hands with him, he is especially grateful to have Professor Severus by his side, otherwise it would be embarrassing to think about the crowded scene.
The three of them had just reached the small patio when a pale young man walked towards them.The man looked very tense, and one of his eyes was still twitching.
"Professor Chen-Chen-Professor!" Professor Quirrell stammered, obviously he was particularly afraid of the indifferent man in front of him.But his eyes were more on the boy at Severus' waist.
"Professor Quirrell..." Severus gave him a particularly weird look, he was a suspicious person by nature.
"Oh! You—good. I'm—I'm—"
Unable to bear his stuttering, Severus directly interrupted Professor Quirrell's very difficult speech and explained to the two children beside him.
"He is Professor Quirrell. He is currently serving as the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts. I believe you will have enough time to get in touch with him." Then he looked at Qi Luo who was trying to justify something Professor Luo, Severus said quickly, his tone even colder.
"This is Mr. Harry Potter and his cousin, Mr. Dudley Dursley, next to me. Well, Professor Quirrell. I have a lot of schedules ahead of me, so I'm sorry. let's go."
Dudley and Harry were onlookers the whole time, and before they even had time to participate or say a word, they were led away by the cold aura around them.
When passing by Professor Quirrell, Dudley took a special look at him, especially the turban wrapped around his head.
They watched as Professor Severus drew out his wand, raised three pieces to the wall, counted three pieces horizontally, and tapped lightly on the wall three times.The eyes of both of them were fixed on Severus's movements, until there was a reminder of calmness from above their heads.
"Remember it, if you go to Diagon Alley, this is the only way to go."
Dudley quickly expressed that he must be listening carefully, and nodded one after another: "Yes sir! I understand."
Harry quickly nodded and agreed, "Understood, sir."
The brick struck by the wand trembled and began to move, a small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole expanded rapidly.
In an instant, an archway wide enough for a huge person to pass appeared in front of them.The road leads to a winding cobbled street with no end in sight.
Severus didn't say "Welcome" to them like in the original book, and Dudley didn't expect Severus to say something so counterintuitive.He had no choice but to quickly keep up with the tall man in front, holding Harry who looked around and was very curious about everything.
I saw that the two children were very curious and couldn't help but want to visit.Severus hadn't given them the freedom to run around as they'd expected.Rather, it was very serious, leading them to a bank, to be precise, a bank that didn't look like a bank.
When Dudley saw the Wizarding Bank, he finally took a good look at the bank with his gaze that had been on the owl just now.
The image description in the original book is very restored, but it is somewhat different from the movie version.For example, this street looks much wider than in the movie, and Gringotts Bank is also more grand than in the movie.Beside the snow-white tall building and the shiny bronze gate stood a figure in a scarlet gold inlaid uniform.
Dudley was very constipated and wondered why all the elves in this world were so ugly?Sure enough, he read too many fairy tales.
"What's that?" Harry also saw the elf standing at the door, but because he didn't know, he had to shake Dudley's hand, seeking answers from his cousin who knew everything like Baidu.
"That's a goblin."
When Dudley was about to answer, Severus, who had already stopped in front of them, spoke first, turned around, and looked at the two little kids up to his waist.
"Okay, Gringotts is here."
Severus did not give the two children too much time to visit, he directly pushed open the door of Gringotts, and led the two of them in.
Dudley had wanted to take a good look at the words warning thieves on the second door, but he couldn't read that fast.Just passed through the second door.
Harry thought back to the goblin that walked towards them just now, and he always felt as if he had entered a fairy tale.So much so that he walked through the second door without seeing the words on the door warning thieves.
Upon entering, two goblins bowed to them and led them into a tall marble hall.There are about a hundred or so goblins sitting on high stools behind a row of long cabinets. Some of them are using the same balance to weigh coins, and some are using eyepieces to detect gems, while registering hastily in the large ledger.There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins are guiding the guests coming and going to enter these doors.
Severus led the two children behind him towards the counter.
"We're going to take some money out of Mr. Harry Potter's vault. And open an account for Mr. Dudley Dursley."
"Have you got his key, sir?"
"Here." Severus took out something from his pocket without turning his eyes, and put it on the counter.
The goblin checked carefully, and finally called another goblin who was standing not far away, and ordered: "Take Mr. Harry Potter to his vault."
Harry looked at Severus in surprise, then at Dudley, and couldn't help but ask, "Shall I go alone?"
Severus looked at Harry very seriously and said, "That's your vault, Mr. Potter. I still have some things to attend to. Is Mr. Potter afraid of entering his vault? You're already 11 years old!"
Finally seeing Severus who was very similar to his memory, Dudley finally believed at this moment that Severus' poisonous tongue could not be changed.It's just that what he met just now was the hidden Severus. Once this person was aroused, he would inevitably spray venom.
Watching Harry Potter follow the elves away in misery, Dudley's gaze was soon attracted by the man beside him.
He only saw Severus put a letter on the counter, and said very seriously: "This is a letter from Mr. Dumbledore, about the thing in the underground vault of No. 713."
The goblin picked up the letter and read it carefully. After confirming that it was not a fake, she said, "Very good."
"Pull the ring!"
Griphook was the name of another goblin.Severus stuffed the letter returned by the goblin back into his pocket, and followed Griphook out of the hall through one of the doors.
Dudley was the only one left at the counter now, and the goblin looked at him before he began to deal with what he wanted.
"Open an account." The goblin said, rummaging through a pile of documents, holding a quill, and writing a bunch of things densely.Finally a key was taken from another counter and passed to Dudley.
"Here is the key to your vault, Mr. Dursley. Do you need to recharge Galleon?"
"Yes! Of course." Dudley, who was wandering in the sky, heard the elf's inquiry, and quickly took out a large handful of banknotes stuffed in his pocket.After saving some fares for going home during the winter vacation, I put all of them on the counter for the elves to take a quick inventory.
The extra money, Dudley deposited it in his own vault.Leaving some fees needed for a semester, he sat alone on the public lounge chair next to the hall, waiting for the two people who went to the underground vault to come back.
Dudley received Harry's questioning gaze, and was about to show the wisdom in his brain, when he suddenly realized that he was in this world, but he was just a person who came to the wizarding world for the first time.There must be something wrong with suddenly saying so many things about who doesn't quite fit who you are.So he obediently shut up and followed the person in front of him.
