A short while later, Xia Zhi walked out of Gringotts, escorted by a large group of polite goblins.
It couldn't be helped, Xia Zhi was too rich…
When Xia Zhi took out the gold bricks one by one, the goblin who received him almost fainted from happiness.
By the time Xia Zhi walked out of Gringotts, he already had enough Galleons in his storage ring.
Xia Zhi took out the letter of acceptance Dumbledore had left for him, and attached to it was a list of books and equipment needed for school.
Xia Zhi browsed through it briefly and decided to buy an owl first!
There was no way to send a letter to Cassandra without an owl...
And he felt that it would be best to send a letter to Kassandra as soon as he bought the owl!
Many times, one had to trust the intuition of a prophet!
Following the map, Xia Zhi stopped in front of a shop that looked very dark.
A low and gentle whimper came from the shop.
The sign in front of the door read Eeylops Owl Store.
Xia Zhi strode in. The shop was also very dark. There were many cages lined up on both sides, and there were all kinds of owls in the cages.
There were gray forest owls, grass owls, snow owls, and so on. These owls were of different sizes and even had different expressions and personalities.
As soon as Xia Zhi entered, he felt that he was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, as if the owls in the cage were sizing him up.
Xia Zhi was sure that these creatures had enough intelligence because their gazes made them look like they were choosing their masters.
A young shop assistant walked over enthusiastically." Hello, do you want to buy owls or owl food?”
"Hello, I want to buy an owl. Of course, I also want to buy some owl food.”
The shop assistant began to introduce Xia Zhi to the owls in the cage. These owls were either strong or huge, or small and exquisite. Some were arrogant, while others were lively and active.
Xia Zhi looked around. Suddenly, his eyes fell on an unusually lively little thing.
It was a snowy owl, but it was much smaller than an ordinary snowy owl. This made it look like a snowball at a glance.
"This is it!"
In the end, Xia Zhi paid 20 gold coins to obtain this little snowy owl.
It's really expensive, but I don't lack money now!
"From now on, you will be called Snowball." Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Snowball was jumping around in the cage. It was very lively, as if it could not wait to fly into the sky.
Xia Zhi walked out of the Owl Shop with the cage in his hand. He then took out a piece of parchment and gently tapped his wand on it.
Lines of words appeared clearly on the parchment before disappearing. This was a small spell that he and Cassander had been researching together.
A letter written with this spell would only be seen as a blank piece of parchment unless a unique spell was used to make the words visible.
Xia Zhi didn't want to be so sneaky, but Cassandra always wanted to be on guard against Mrs. Worley.
Xia Zhi filled up a piece of parchment with words. He folded the parchment and let Snowball hold it in his mouth. Finally, he let it fly into the air.
This was actually really amazing. Even if you didn't say it, they would know who you were sending the letter to.
Xia Zhi put the cage into his storage ring and took out the list to study where he should go next.
"Summer solstice? Excuse me, are you Mr. Xia Zhi?”
Xia Zhi suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw a tall witch in a green robe looking at him with a smile.
Behind the witch stood a couple dressed in Muggle attire and a little girl with fluffy hair.
Good heavens, they were all familiar faces. However, the current Xia Zhi shouldn't recognize them.
" Uh, I am. May I know who you are..." Xia Zhi asked politely.
"Hello, Summer Solstice. I'm Minerva McGonagall, the Transfiguration Professor at Hogwarts. I've heard Dumbledore talk about you all the time, he's full of praise for your Transfiguration talent! It's been a long time since I've heard him praise a young wizard so much.”Professor McGonagall smiled at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi blushed and said embarrassedly," Professor Dumbledore is too kind, but Professor Dumbledore told me that you are the best master of Transfiguration. I will learn more advanced Transfiguration from you at Hogwarts.”
Professor McGonagall had indeed heard Dumbledore say that a young wizard with exceptional talent in Transfiguration would be entering the school this year.
Dumbledore had told her that Xia Zhi always had a unique temperament that made people feel close to him. He had also said that if she met him, she would be able to recognize him in a crowd.
Professor McGonagall had been skeptical at first, but she had just entered Diagon Alley with the Grangers and their daughter when she saw the big boy frowning at a list.
That unique temperament, even in the bustling Diagon Alley. And Professor McGonagall noticed it at once. Although he was just standing there, he always gave people the feeling that he stood out from the crowd.
So Professor McGonagall guessed that he was the summer solstice, so she went up and asked. The result was as expected.
"Professor McGonagall, where are you going?”
"I've been guiding Miss Granger and her parents to Diagon Alley to buy the things they need for school. By the way, this is Hermione Granger, you'll be classmates this year.”Professor McGonagall introduced Xia Zhi to the Granger couple and the future Miss Know-it-all.
Xia Zhi shook hands with them one by one. However, Xia Zhi remained calm on the surface.
"I'm going to take them to Gringotts now to exchange for Galleons.”Professor McGonagall was ready to say goodbye to the summer solstice and continue with today's guidance task.
"Exchange for gold coins?" Xia Zhi pondered for a moment." As far as I know, there is a limit to the amount of Galleons that Muggle currency can be exchanged for at Gringotts. How about this, I've just come out of Gringotts, and I'm looking for some Muggle currency, I'll exchange it with Mr. Granger, I don't have a limit here.”
Xia Zhi did plan to buy some from the Muggle world later. He really wanted to exchange some pounds. Instead of letting the goblins have it easy, he might as well exchange it with Mr. Granger.
The Grangers had no fear of the summer solstice deceiving them, because Professor McGonagall was here.
"Of course. How much wizarding currency can you exchange for?”Mr. Granger asked. He didn't expect to get many Galleons from a big kid like Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi smiled." How many pounds did you bring?”
"About a thousand pounds." Mr. Granger took out a wad of bills and counted them.
"Alright, I'll take them all. Here's two hundred gold coins.”Xia Zhi took out a money bag.
The exchange rate between Galleons and British pounds was about 1 Galleon =5 pounds.
These pouches were produced by Gringotts, and they had been enchanted with the Traceless Stretching Spell, so one could hold a lot of Galleons.
"Oh, child, can you tell me where you got so much money?”Professor McGonagall couldn't help asking. Two hundred gold coins was not a small amount. This was obviously not something a child like Xia Zhi could afford.
"In fact, I have a pet, Dumbledore knows about it, whose venom sells for five hundred Galleons an ounce.”Xia Zhi didn't lie this time. He really took Nagini's venom to Mrs. Worley to ask about the price.
After professional testing, it was indeed the price. Therefore, even if Xia Zhi did not have the Sorcerer's Stone, he would not lack Galleons, so he did not hide his wealth.
After all, Nagini's poison could be bottled in water.
