My name is Snape at Hogwarts

Chapter 17 Gringotts

Looking at the white building in front of him, Snape's eyes were also full of deep curiosity.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time he has come to this famous wizarding bank. The last time he came to Diagon Alley, he basically didn't go shopping.

The whole body of the building is made of white marble. The overall style is not English-style Gothic like other buildings, but rather French-style dome buildings. The decorations everywhere are basically golden, and even the pillars at the door are decorated with Some golden ornamentation.

Neat, generous and gorgeous, this was Snape's first impression of Gringotts.

The goblin doorman in a well-fitting tuxedo at the door was staring at them with black eyes. I don't know whether it was because of their looks or their intentions, but Snape always felt that they had some malicious intentions.

Unlike Snape, Lily was completely curious, her big eyes kept looking around.

"Yes, this is Gringotts, let's go in." Dumbledore said with a smile, then took Lily's hand and walked inside.Snape was half a step behind them, and followed closely behind.

Seeing someone approaching, the goblin doormen bowed deeply, their long noses almost touching the ground, looking very respectful and polite.However, as long as anyone who knows them a little knows, their respect is not for people, but for those tinkling golden cuties.

The golden door opened, and a warning sign was placed in the middle of the hall, which was very eye-catching. There were tall tables all around, filled with goblins. They didn't look at the people coming, but were busy with their own business. Some were observing gems, some were weighing metals, and even Snape saw a goblin studying with a pound...

"Come on, dear, we're going to replace Galleon first." Dumbledore said, and led them to a side hall with ease.

There are not many people here, and there is only one goblin, who is sitting behind a table, taking out pounds one after another, smoothing them out, and putting them together solemnly, then, wrapping them up with paper, and continuing. .....

It seems to be a very boring job, but this goblin is doing it with gusto, and her expression is also very obsessed.

"Good morning, sir." Dumbledore greeted.

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore." The goblin heard the voice, raised his head slightly, nodded slightly to Dumbledore, and asked hoarsely, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Excuse me, Miss Evans needs to exchange some Galleons." Dumbledore nodded.

"Yes." The goblin nodded, "Five pounds can be exchanged for one galleon, and each person can exchange for five hundred pounds a year. How much do you want?"

"One hundred is enough." Dumbledore took out the pound from Mrs. Evans from his pocket and handed it over.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The goblin signaled Dumbledore to put the pound on the table, then took out a magnifying glass, and checked each one meticulously.

Taking advantage of this free time, Dumbledore began to say to Lily: "Remember, one Galleon is equal to seventeen Sickles, and one Sickle is equal to 29 Knuts. After deducting the cost of buying textbooks and necessities, the remaining Part of it is your pocket money. You know, this is a 'huge sum' that is enough to make your classmates envious."

Speaking later, Dumbledore also made a little joke.

"I see, Professor." Lily blushed slightly, and then smiled happily.

After looking at the pounds, the goblin nodded: "There seems to be no problem. Are these all Galleons?"

Dumbledore looked at Lily and motioned for her to call the shots.

Lily was a little dazed, and couldn't help looking at Snape.

Snape thought for a while, then said, "You can replace the five Galleons with Sickles, and replace the rest with Galleons."

"Just do it!" Lily said without hesitation.

"Okay, ma'am." The goblin nodded, then took out a bag from the table, and began to count Galleons. This time, he was very fast, and in a short while he had enough Galleons and Galleons. Si can count.

"Ma'am, you seem to need a money bag to store your wealth?" After counting the money, the goblin didn't hand it over to Lily immediately, but began to sell it, "We have ordinary linen Money bags, there are also exquisite water lizard wallets, but I strongly recommend our high-quality dragon leather wallets, although the price is a little bit expensive, but it is definitely worth the money..."

The goblin began to introduce it incessantly, as if she was not a goblin like the one who was counting money slowly just now, and Lily and Snape were both taken aback.

Really good eloquence!Little brother, you really deserve to get rich!

Under the promotion of the goblin, Lily bought the most expensive dragon skin wallet in a daze, which cost a full ten Galleons.

However, it is also considered to be a great value for money. There are eternal traceless stretching spells, floating spells and flying spells attached to the wallet. Although it is not the same as the "fairy special" in the mouth of the elves, it is still a pretty good item. Alchemy items.

This is probably why Dumbledore didn't stop him.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the little girl's remaining money is enough for her expenses, otherwise, no matter how good the wallet is, Dumbledore probably would not allow Lily to buy such a thing that would delay her study.

Lily's money was exchanged, but the purpose of the group's visit to Gringotts was not fully completed.

There is such a rule in Hogwarts that if a student meets the admission criteria of Hogwarts and is willing to enroll, and the family does not have enough money to afford it, Hogwarts can provide a student with a stipend to guarantee For the successful completion of their studies, it is enough to pay off within two years after graduation, and part of the interest money will be paid if it exceeds two years.

Snape naturally met this standard, which was one of the reasons why they came to Gringotts.

However, it was quite easy to get the money. Dumbledore is the best living sign. Hearing what Dumbledore said in the place where the student grants were received in the lobby, he took out a The dirty cloth bag was thrown to Snape without looking at it.This business is simply extremely skilled.

"Although I don't want to say it, I still want to remind you, Mr. Snape. This fee is not much. I am afraid that most of your school supplies and daily necessities will be bought second-hand, and after you graduate, you will need to pay back Hogwarts." Dumbledore reminded.

"Okay, Professor." Snape nodded.

Dumbledore smiled slightly, said nothing more, and took the two of them out of Gringotts, starting a formal shopping tour of Diagon Alley.

"Have you thought about it, are we going to buy something first?" Dumbledore looked at Lily with a smile.

"I've figured it out, Professor." Lily nodded bluntly, looked at Snape, and then at Dumbledore, "I'm going to buy books first! Sev said that knowledge is the foundation of wizards, Sev It must be right."

"Aha, of course!" Dumbledore looked very happy when he heard that. "I'm glad you can realize this, you know, most wizards can't see it as clearly as you! Very well, children! Then, let's go to the bookstore!"
