Chapter 174 At Flourish and Blotts Bookstore
"You are the first wizard to be satisfied with our minecart service!"
Fitzbabu said in surprise: "Other wizards always dislike them too quickly, but..."
"Time is money, my friend!"
The goblin shook his head and was very dissatisfied with the wizards' behavior of not cherishing time.
Professor McGonagall twitched her lips and interrupted the conversation between the two, "In that case, let's not waste time and take out my money quickly."
Then she turned to Fish and said, "When we go back, we can sit there again."
Professor McGonagall's voice didn't sound very happy, but she still managed a smile and said, "After we go out, we will buy you new clothes and textbooks first, and then go to Florin's Cold Drinks Shop to eat ice cream."
In addition to the fact that Fish had been promised for a long time, Professor McGonagall also felt that she needed something cold to calm her raging stomach.
"Okay, meow!"?(●ΦwΦ●)?
Compared with ice cream, the rapid mine cart is not that important. If you want to "rush the cart", Fish can also go to the Forbidden Forest to find thestrals and unicorns.
At this time, Fitzbabu also unlocked the door and sprayed out a stream of green smoke from the door. It could make the person who broke into the vault fall into a coma and alert the guards of Gringotts. This was Gringotts.
One of the defense methods of the pavilion.
But in fact, the symbolic meaning of this smoke is more, because any wizard with a little bit of ability or knowledge of Gringotts will not fall into such a simple trap, and its effect is not even as good as the vault door itself.
This is also related to the fact that Professor McGonagall's vault belongs to a group with low security level.
In Gringotts, the more important the vault, the further down it is, and the vault door no longer uses a key. Instead, a certified goblin needs to knock on the door gently to make it disappear bit by bit.
Except for the goblins of Gringotts, anyone else who touches the door will be sucked in by the door and unable to get out.
The treasury of those ancient families that have been passed down to this day are guarded by fire dragons and sphinxes. In addition, there are anti-thief waterfalls, and a series of anti-theft measures such as copying spells and fire spells are used on the treasury.
Of course, these all require extra money, and goblins will not provide free services because of the wizard's status - even Voldemort could not do this kind of thing.
When the smoke dissipated, Fish followed Professor McGonagall into the vault, which was filled with glittering gold and silver. There were basically no copper nuts in sight.
Professor McGonagall doesn't usually spend much money, but her savings over the years are quite considerable.
She casually grabbed a handful of gold Galleons and a handful of silver Sickles from the vault, put them into her small handbag, then picked up Fish, who was shuffling among the piles of gold coins, and left the vault.
After another thrilling minecart run, the two returned to the hall of Gringotts and walked out of the door with the respect of two goblin guards at the door.
They first came to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, where the short and fat Madam Malkin warmly entertained them.
"Your ears and tail are so cute."
Just like everyone else, Madam Malkin couldn't resist the temptation of Fish's cat ears. She secretly touched Fish's ears and tail several times while taking Fish's measurements.
Then, when the kitten started to get impatient and its tail hair was blowing up slightly, he decisively ended the measurement.
Anyone who opens the door to do business cannot do without some discernment.
After finishing the completely unnecessary measurements, Mrs. Malkin took out two sets of clothes with slightly different sizes and said to Professor McGonagall: "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you are welcome to bring Feish over at any time, and I will give it to you again."
He changed it."
Then they went to buy some potion materials, as well as parchment, quills, ink and other consumables, before finally entering Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
There were no customers in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore at this time, but the managers and clerks were busy. They moved a large number of the same books to the most conspicuous location in the bookstore, and covered the surrounding walls with posters.
.
The posters all showed the same person, a handsome man with wavy blond hair and the same blue eyes as Dumbledore. He was wearing a very elegant lilac robe and a pointed wizard hat of the same color that was tilted playfully.
Wear it on your head.
When Fish and Professor McGonagall first stepped into the store, the man on all the posters winked and smiled at him and Minerva simultaneously, flashing a pair of neat, white teeth.
However, when Professor McGonagall saw this handsome man, a look of extreme disgust appeared on his face.
Fish, on the other hand, doesn't even care whether the other person is handsome or not. To be precise, he doesn't feel that this person is any different from other humans at all. The only thing that makes Fish slightly interested is... this person's teeth are very white.
Maybe the fight will be pretty good.
Although the opponent's teeth are not sharp, they look strong and healthy enough. In the cat evaluation system, cats with good teeth are generally good at fighting. Otherwise, they will not take the initiative when fighting.
Bare its fangs to intimidate the enemy.
Professor McGonagall knocked on the bookshelf beside her irritably, reminding the store that customers were coming. At the same time, she tried to avoid the posters that looked like mental pollution. This was obviously more difficult, because Gilderoy Lockhart's
Posters were posted everywhere.
And it would be too rude to keep staring at the ground. Professor McGonagall's cultivation did not allow her to do this, so she could only hope to end this shopping as soon as possible.
"Professor McGonagall! Welcome!"
When the manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore heard the noise, he got out of his busy schedule and came to Professor McGonagall and Fish.
"Fish is here too!" The manager rubbed his hands excitedly, forced his eyes away from the twitching cat ears, and then asked like a barrage of questions: "How is campus life at Hogwarts?
?Are you here to buy new textbooks today? Do you want a poster of Mr. Lockhart? I can give you one at my discretion."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall did not appreciate his kindness.
"Thank you, but no need."
Professor McGonagall decisively rejected the manager's gift for Fish and said quickly: "I will take Fish to eat later. Please hurry up and give me a copy of "Standard Spells, Level 2" and... Luo
Hart's seven books."
"OK, just a second."
The manager was very discerning and noticed Professor McGonagall's attitude towards Lockhart, so he stopped mentioning the poster and turned around to rummage through the bookshelf.
Lockhart's seven books were easy to find, and they were all placed in the most conspicuous positions, but the other books were piled in the corner before they had time to sort them out in order to make room for Lockhart's book signing.
The manager called two clerks, and after a lot of effort, he found "Standard Spells, Level 2" among the books.
"Shenghui, 36 galleons."
Placing a thick stack of books in front of Professor McGonagall, the manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
Then Professor McGonagall's expression became even more disdainful.
Miranda Gorshak's standard spell series has always been one galleons per book and has not changed for many years, but Gilderoy Lockhart, an ignorant guy, actually sells a book for five
Galleons…
What on earth was Dumbledore thinking and why did he invite such a bastard to be a teacher?
With a dark face, Professor McGonagall took out 36 gold coins from her bag and handed it to the manager. Then she stuffed the eight books into her small handbag that had cast the Traceless Stretching Charm, and then shouted to Fish
: "Fish, let's go, let's go have ice cream!"
"Here comes Meow!"?(●≧?≦●)?
Throwing away the copy of "Magical Me" in his hand, Fish quickly rushed to Professor McGonagall's side. However, his behavior caused dissatisfaction with Lockhart on all the posters.
However, by this time, Professor McGonagall had already led Fish out of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, leaving only the pile of Lockharts sulking on the poster.
