Stark in Harry Potter World - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: come, grab the bank!

Hagrid looked like a regular at the bar.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, their babblings suddenly stopped, and everyone smiled and waved at Hagrid.

Especially those old women who were sitting in the corner of the room and drinking sherry with a small glass were more enthusiastic towards Hagrid.

One of them also handed the long pipe in his hand to Hagrid, trying to get him to take a bite.

Hagrid was entangled for a while before he got out.

Yes, I didn’t expect Hagrid to be a friend of middle-aged and elderly women!

The bar owner looked like a shredded walnut. He picked up a cup, wiped it, and asked, “Hagrid, do you want another one?”

“No, Tom, I’m working for Hogwarts. I can’t drink.”

Hagrid refused with a serious face, it seemed that whoever hindered his work was his enemy.

But a man wearing a top hat squinted his muddy eyes and said in doubt: “Really? But when I came in the morning, I saw you…”

“Ahem…I’m going to take William to Diagon Alley. See you guys.” Hagrid hurriedly interrupted.

But when he left, he still glanced at his boss Tom and asked, “Is the old Greek man not back yet?”

Tom shrugged and said, “He hasn’t appeared since I had a drink with you in the morning.”

Hagrid was disappointed.

Passing through the bar, Hagrid led the two to a small walled patio. There is nothing here except a trash can and some weeds.

Roy stopped and couldn’t help asking, “Hagrid, you said that something was delayed in the morning, so you were drinking here?”

Hagrid grabbed his beard and said dryly, “Dear Roy, I can explain it!”

He coughed and said, “Look, I came to London from Hogwarts and walked so far. I sit here and rest for a few minutes, isn’t it too much?”

Roy nodded: “It makes sense.”

Hagrid continued: “This is a bar. I can’t sit there. I have to take care of Tom’s business. So I buy a few cups of eggnog to moisturize my throat, right?”

Roy held his chin: “There are reasons and evidence.”

“So, you drank too much?” William interrupted.

“No.” Hagrid hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and whispered: “I was planning to leave, but I met a Greek.

The Greek talked to me and said that he had a three-headed dog, but the three-headed dog had too much food and he couldn’t afford it.

William, you don’t know how rare and cute three-headed dogs are.

I can’t just watch this little furry animal, just wandering on the streets, and be sent to the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures…”

Hagrid lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.

“Well, we won’t tell others.” Roy comforted.

Hagrid smiled: “Thank you so much, Roy, you are really my best Muggle friend.

Don’t worry, leave William to me. At Hogwarts, no one dares to bully him!”

Hagrid patted Roy on the shoulder with his giant palm and almost didn’t pat him down on the stomach.

“Hagrid, is the three-headed dog really that cute?” William couldn’t help but ask.

“really cute!”

With a “peek”, an orange cat’s head emerged from William’s backpack, and Popocha glanced at Hagrid suspiciously. It just seemed to have heard someone praise him for being handsome.

“You and that little guy will become good friends.” Hagrid chuckled twice and touched Popocha’s head.

Popocha said “meow”, then drilled his head back.

At this time, three silly dog ​​heads in the sled appeared inexplicably in William’s mind.

He started to fill up a three-headed dog with a Samoyed, Husky, and Alaskan head… that’s really cute!

Only in the near future, William will understand what a picture he is today!

Hagrid counted the bricks on the top of the trash can, and because he was too tall, he had to bend over and press his ass.

“Count up to three pieces—and then count down to two pieces—” he whispered. “Okay, stand back.”

He tapped his umbrella head on the wall three times.

The brick he had struck shook and began to move, and a small hole appeared in the middle.

The entrance of the cave became bigger and bigger, and soon there was a wide archway large enough for Hagrid to pass, leading to a winding cobblestone street with no end in sight.

“Welcome.” Hagrid opened his arms and announced loudly, “Welcome to Diagon Alley.”

As they walked along the archway, the dazzling sunlight cast on a stack of pots outside the door of the nearest store.

Hanging above the pot is a large pot made of copper-brass-tin plated-silver, with complete models, automatic stirring-foldable.

“Oh, William, you need to buy one,” Hagrid glanced at the sky, “but the sun is going down soon, we have to get the money first.”

They came to a snow-white building towering high above the surrounding shops, beside the shiny bronze gate, stood a figure in a scarlet and gold uniform—a dark face with cleverness. He has a pointed beard.

“This is Goblin I told you about.” Hagrid whispered as they walked towards the man along the white stone steps.

Roy’s occupational disease has committed again. He couldn’t help but look at the goblin’s smile and grin, as if he wanted to check the health of his teeth.

William felt that he couldn’t let his family come to Diagon Alley alone in the future.

Roy is okay, the most is to take a look at other people’s teeth. Mother Leona will probably take a scalpel out of her pocket on the spot to dissect the differences in species.

As for Annie, there is a high probability that she will treat Goblin as a pet and ask to buy it back.

Oh my God, what a strange family is this, William suddenly discovered that he was the only normal person!

He didn’t have so many strange thoughts, at most… he also had the idea of ​​robbery.

William stood in front of the second gate of Gringotts. His figure was half shrouded in sunlight and half shrouded in shadows.

On the two doors in front of him, the following words were engraved: Please come in, stranger, but you must be careful about what it will end up if you are insatiable. The underground vault took away a piece of wealth that never belonged to you, thief, you have been warned, beware that it is not treasure, but evil.

I don’t know why, at this moment, looking at the rows of characters, William really had the idea of ​​robbing Gringotts.

Well, he would have this kind of impulse when he looked at those money-carrying trucks in his previous life.

But the soldiers with live ammunition will always extinguish his desire in the shortest possible time.

There will never be such a strong defense here, right?

William looked up at Hagrid and asked in a low voice, “Hagrid, is the defense here strong?”

Hagrid nodded: “Of course it’s strong. This is the safest place in the magical world except Hogwarts.”

“How do you say?” William raised his eyebrows.

Hagrid bent down, in a hot tone that William had never heard before, and said mysteriously: “There is a dragon under here…”

“Dragon?”

Hagrid’s eyes were shining, and he envied: “Yeah, I really want to raise one, for this I am willing to give everything!”

Hagrid immediately discouraged: “But twenty years after the “International Secrecy Law” was promulgated, in order to promote this bill, the Wizarding Conference officially passed a bill prohibiting dragon raising.”

He gritted his teeth and said: “I dare you to say that this is the stupidest decision the International Wizarding Federation has ever made!”

Hagrid’s description gave William the most intuitive picture.

The most important thing is that big black dragon appeared in his mind… If the magic world is also such a forced dragon, he doesn’t think he has the possibility of robbery.

Well, William’s desire was extinguished again, this time it was Hagrid’s scattered saliva.
