The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Linde went back to the bakery. He is on vacation today, so he is passing by and popping in the store for a stroll. There is no simple pleasure in appreciating the labor of other people in the bakery.

The decoration of the bakery is very warm. There are dozens of shapes of bread in the window. The air is sweet and sweet. Malika is waving behind the counter.

"Is your principal okay?"

"He's healthy. He's even healthier than before. A breath of Sauron's divine power can prolong his life." Linde leaned on the counter and chatted with Malika.

"Anything interesting to share?"

Linde is not a gossip, he did not talk about the tragedy of the Longbottom family, but shared his recent research topic.

"The magic at the junction is quite interesting." He took out a dark stone flake, "This substance called memory stone can store thought strings stably."

"It sounds amazing, but what is the specific use?" Malika cooperated like a fan.

"This is equivalent to a spell slot. With this thing, there is no need for mental arithmetic configurations."

"Wow, that's amazing." Malika said ruthlessly.

Linde took the initiative to change the subject, "I may have to go back to the junction after a while. Do you want me to bring you some specialties from my hometown?"

"Then I wish you the best of luck."

A customer came in through the door. A middle-class couple with their daughter was attracted by the smell of bread as they passed by the door of the store.

"De Lin! It's really Ni, I thought I was wrong."

The girl who entered the door ran over excitedly. Miss Know-it-all was wearing a casual white dress and a red plaid skirt. She looked like a quiet literary girl, but she was in a hurry when she opened her mouth.

"Hello." Linde said jokingly, "Do we meet once every summer vacation?"

He greeted the Grangers. The couple still remembered this young man. Hermione gave him an umbrella last year at the Big Dog Square.

Hermione couldn't hold back her words, she chattered and poured out all their experiences and knowledge of the day.

"Harry was a guest at Ron's house, wrote to me, and made an appointment to buy books in Diagon Alley."

"The school has established a bursary fund." Linde reminded her, "The cost of books can be reimbursed. Or with the book list given by the school, you can receive new books directly at Lihen Bookstore."

Hermione nodded furiously, "I know. Professor Dumbledore got the shipwreck treasure, and now Hogwarts has money. But we're going to the signing event."

"Gideroy Lockhart?" Linde was not surprised. Little girls like to chase stars. The girls' dormitory is full of star posters, which is a phenomenon that can be applied everywhere.

Hermione blushed, and hurriedly explained, "It's not what I want to buy. It's Mrs. Weasley who is going to attend Lockhart's new book signing. We all go with her. Also, I heard that this year's Lihen Bookstores have a lot of new books coming in, and I want to buy some to fill the shelves."

"That will cost a lot of money." Linde gave his experience, "It will cost about a thousand Galleons to buy a set of all the books in Lihen Bookstore. Valuable books may be cheap, nonsense Books can also be expensive."

While the Grangers were picking at the bakery, Hermione's father discussed in a low voice how much of the family's savings could be spent on buying books for his daughter.

Hermione shyly invited Lynd to go to Diagon Alley with them.

"Okay, it's time for my classroom to be stocked. I hope there will be surprises." Linde turned and asked Malika, "Do you want to go together?"

The hostess of the bakery smiled and waved like a smiling beckoning cat. "Bon voyage," she said.

A group of people came to the Leaky Cauldron, where Linde spent his first summer vacation. If he hadn't rented Malika's apartment this year, he actually planned to stay here. Tom, the proprietor, remembers him well as a guest.

"Oh, it's you, the weird kid who stays up late at night." Tom Gully smiled strangely. "It's been a long time since I saw you. Your name is De Lin, isn't it?"

"It's a pleasure to see you too, Mr. Tom."

The name De Lin was heard in the bar, and there was a sudden silence, and then an elderly wizard came over and asked, "Are you Master De Lin? I mean, you are the genius who proposed the Essence Transfiguration technique? "

"I'm De Lin." He stretched out his hand and squeezed the man, who was very excited.

Six or seven wizards around came forward. They were generally not young, and they all looked old-fashioned and eccentric. When they met, they first praised Linde and praised his attainments in transfiguration, and then a lot of questions were thrown to him, as if he was holding an academic lecture.

I remember the same scene in the Leaky Cauldron when Harry Potter appeared last year. At that time, Linde was still a young man who knew little about the magic world, so he could only stand by. Suddenly there is a feeling that things are right and wrong.

After finally saying goodbye to the enthusiastic fans, everyone went to the back alley, knocked on the door and entered Diagon Alley. It was as lively as ever, and the Grangers were going to Gringotts to exchange money.

Five pounds was exchanged for one gold galleon.

Linde remembered that in some of the early fans of "Harry Potter" he had read, this fixed exchange rate was used to collect a large amount of cash Galleons, which broke the magic world's currency system. In the later fanfiction, this part of the setting was patched, and only Muggle-born students could exchange Galleons in a limited amount.

Back in the days when the pound was pegged to gold, the exchange between the two currencies was relatively stable. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system dominated the world, and the US dollar replaced the prestigious gold pound, but the Bretton Woods system failed to persist. It should be said that any monetary system based on the gold standard naturally has the risk of being manipulated by financial means.

Linde also considered playing this routine at the beginning, but unfortunately, he became a rich man in the blink of an eye. Fate did not give him this opportunity to flex his muscles in the capital market.

The three members of the Granger family entered Gringotts, feeling rather timid in the face of the sight here.

The couple were afraid and curious about the leprechaun behind the counter. Hermione was a child and didn't like this dull money environment. They didn't get the goblin's good looks, and when they said they wanted to exchange Galleons, they were even more scorned.

"Excellent," said the goblin at the counter slowly. "It's more and more nostalgic for the gold pound of a century ago. How much do you want?"

"Well, five hundred pounds?"

"Too much." The goblin at the counter frowned, "Sir, it takes several rounds of investment and trade for our Gringotts' sterling reserves to be converted into gold. This is all time cost."

Lin De slowly moved half a step to the side. The goblin behind the counter glanced casually, and then his whole body trembled. His face, which was originally harder than a pig's liver, immediately melted into marshmallows. He said in a sweet and flattering tone: "Ah, my dear Mr. de Lin. Big fat sheep of Gringotts, no, no, big client! You haven't been here for a long time."

"Accompany my classmates to exchange money." Lin De said concisely.

"These three are? Oh, yes, sir, do you want to exchange five hundred pounds? It's absolutely no problem, there are ready-made ones at the counter." Then the goblin registered with dizzyingly quick movements, and then took out a Hundred gold Galleons are also wrapped in kraft paper into stacks of ten, which is easy to carry.

A group of people left Gringotts in the farewell of the goblins, and their arrogant performance made people laugh. The expressions on the Grangers' faces were curious.

Along the street, crowds surged at Chaolihen Bookstore.

On the way, they ran into the Weasleys again.

Hermione happily went up to say hello, looked around, but didn't find Harry, "Is he not with you?"

"We separated from him. Harry must have mispronounced the name of the place when he was using Floo powder." Mrs. Weasley looked anxious, "Oh, dear, he must be fine."

Water makes my conscience uneasy every day. I don't know how everyone feels about it.
