Hogwarts becomes host

After talking about the money, Professor McGonagall wanted to take the Granger family to Diagon Alley with the portkey, but Elaine strongly objected. The spinning and weightlessness were not something ordinary people could adapt to, so she finally called taxi.

McGonagall and Lupine used Apparition to leave first. When Elaine and the Granger family arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, they were chatting with the bartender at the bar. There were still empty glasses on the table.

Mrs. Granger looked around uneasily. The people here were either wearing wizard robes, or they were dressed in very strange and retro styles, wearing outdated top hats and cloaks. Even Lupine had changed from casual suits to robes at some point. .

Every time I feel like this place is really rundown.

What kind of dark food is on the table?

Whispers gradually spread around, and even Lupine and McGonagall walked over and couldn't stop the discussion.

"Don't worry, they are human beings too." Elaine thought for a moment and called out. "But it's really uncomfortable to be watched secretly like this. Nott"

With the sound, Nott appeared in front of Elaine, which shocked everyone in the bar. After they saw clearly that it was a house elf, they no longer paid attention to the Granger family──the house elf The wizards served by the elves are all well-established and should not be messed with.

Nott is very different from before. Three years ago, he was only wearing a shabby cloth embroidered with the Shafiq family symbol. It could be seen that it had not been taken care of carefully. Now he is wearing neat and clean clothes. , with a large Shafiq family crest printed on his chest, which was rewarded by Elaine on the pretext of eight years of careful care.

"Follow me around Diagon Alley and help get things." Elaine turned around and introduced to the surprised Hermione, "This is Nott, the house elf of the Shafiq family. Well, you can just treat her as a servant."

"Servant, I didn't see it when I went to spend the night. Every wizard family has one. They can also use magic. Can I touch its ears? You just said the name and it appeared. Could it be that it has been following us?"

"Ask it yourself." Facing Hermione's large number of questions, Elaine decided to throw the pot away. "I have already given instructions. You can use it, but if it conflicts with my orders, it will give priority to me - for example, when we both ask it to fetch something at the same time."

"Hey, can I?"

"Nott serves the Shafiq family and their friends, Miss." Nott bowed and said, "Miss Granger is a friend of the young master. As long as she does not violate the young master's orders, Nott is happy to serve you. "

Unfortunately, before Hermione could test it, Lupine gently interrupted the conversation: "Ladies, while you are chatting, we are about to set off. Remember, the number is three on the top, two on the side, and the wand strikes three. Come on, next time you have to go into Diagon Alley to buy things by yourself."

Professor McGonagall demonstrated once, and then the wall disappeared and the street appeared - along with a large number of rewards and barrages; the group headed to the obvious marble building at the end of the street, and Elaine had to pull Hermione forward because Miss Granger couldn't walk when she saw the bookstore.

The streets are bigger than the movies

What is that witch selling that moves?

dyuk rewarded 100 rockets

When will the anchor go grab Gringotts?

Life has limited my imagination, thank you anchor for bringing inspiration to my new movie

Finally arriving at Gringotts, the goblin at the door opened the door for everyone, and Mr. Granger couldn't help but ask Lupin.

"It seems a bit different that these gentlemen are also house elves."

"No, they are goblins, hello our greedy, smart, cunning opponents, we are going to the treasury of Miss Granger and the Shafiq family to withdraw money."

"Welcome, do you have your key?"

While Lupine was negotiating with the counter, Elaine was letting the camera switch to show the appearance of Gringotts to the new audience - from the luxurious and dazzling three-story crystal chandelier, the magnificent marble room, to the person passing by holding a basket of gems. The goblin, the wizard holding the jingling cloth bag, and the wizard leaving contentedly──to the famous warning inscription at the door.

"Has anyone robbed this bank?" Hermione asked curiously, and Elaine laughed when she heard it. “This question is funny”

It’s you xddd

Didn't you have some idea of ​​what you did?

"I don't know about that. Well, by the way, do you want to go see the treasury? Let me remind you first that Gringotts' treasury is hidden deep underground. Goblins have short legs, so when we want to get money, we don't walk but take a ride. Get out of the car."

"Is not it good"

"The speed of the car is very fast, coupled with the twists and turns of the maze road, and the height difference when it drops straight down, it is almost like riding a roller coaster."

Hearing this, Hermione wrinkled her face in a rare way, turned around and left. Even so, Elaine still pulled her into the car five minutes later - how could you not look at the vault in your name without looking at the people in the car? There was Nott and the curious Mr. Granger, but Mrs. Granger, Professor McGonagall, and Lupine all declined gracefully.

In just half an hour, he had accumulated 20 in popularity points. Sure enough, it was the right choice to hold on to Hermione. It seemed that he had to go to Gryffindor. Popularity points were king.

Elaine thought happily, just forget about Hermione pinching her arm until it hurt.

The goblin whistled, and the car began to accelerate. Elaine also fixed the camera of the live broadcast room on Hermione - this behavior aroused high praise from the water friends, and another wave of rewards started.

The train turned left, turned right, went straight and fell downwards. Hermione's face turned pale but she still managed not to scream. Fortunately, the train stopped quickly, because Hermione's vault level was not considered. Gao, even if Elaine helped her handle the procedures, she could only get a middle-level treasury position as a Muggle.

"Key." The goblin took the small golden key and opened the door. Behind the door was a pile of glittering gold galleons. Granger and his daughter stared at it, but Elaine didn't feel anything about it. Wait, Shafi The Ke family's treasury is scary.

Nott took out a small cloth bag, filled it and handed it to Mr. Granger. Then there was another train scare. The Shafiq family's treasury was at the bottom, and the car drove for eight minutes to reach the treasury.

This car is so fast

Innocent girl's legs feel weak after getting off the car

Face turned pale

Hermione had to be supported by Elaine to walk properly, but she quickly took her hand away and walked forward on her own. After walking a few steps, Mr. Granger stopped and let out an indistinct groan. He seemed to Almost passed out.

"Oh, God"

It was a wide three-way intersection, but in the middle lay a sphinx. It was licking its paws, its long yellow tail swinging back and forth. It had the body of a lion but the head of a woman. Sensing someone approaching, she raised her head and looked at them with her long almond-shaped eyes.

"Ah, I remember you, the little girl from the Shafiq family, you came to withdraw money."

"Yes. This time the puzzle" Elaine looked at Hermione. "It can be a little harder."

"Puzzle, isn't this your treasury?"

"Yes - but that's just the way she is. You know, if you want to get the sphinx treasure, you have to answer questions."

"What will happen if we get the answer wrong? She will attack us."

"No, but you can only come back tomorrow, and that Mr. Goblin will have to increase my dinner." said the Sphinx. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah. Hermione's ready."

"Isn't this your treasury?"

"The beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. The beginning of everyone, the end of every place." The Sphinx ignored them and recited the riddle on its own. "According to these four poems, answer my question, what is the letter I want?"

Having thighs is a waste. After hearing the question, Elaine stared at Hermione. Without her having to say anything, Miss Granger began to think honestly.

"Eternity and the beginning of everyone, the end of time, place and space." Hermione lived up to expectations and came up with the answer after thinking about it a few times. "The common denominator is the letter e, which is the answer."

So fast

As expected of a top student, so scary

I feel like I am mentally retarded qaq

"Very good, please come." The Sphinx smiled and moved out of the way.

Mr. Granger asked curiously as the group continued to move forward. "Do you have to guess like this every time you withdraw money?"

"It would be better if it were just riddles"

Before they could ask what it meant, they walked to the door of the treasury. The coat of arms of the Shafiq family was printed on the door: a flying bird, and there was a line of small words under the coat of arms. "Music is the cry of my soul."

The goblin who led the way gently touched the door, and the door melted, revealing countless treasures inside. The intense golden flash made it difficult to open your eyes.

There are countless gold galleons and silver sikos inside, as well as many gold and silver utensils and gemstone jewelry, as well as gilded parchment rolls, and strange-shaped props. However, among these props, the most eye-catching ones are four things: A piano, flute, violin and a stack of papers float in the air.

"what is that"

"That's the magic of the Shafiq family. After taking the things in this vault, you have to choose an instrument to play, or compose a new song and write it on paper. Otherwise, you can't leave here. Don't look at it like that. I didn’t do this.”

Hermione then realized that the door had been closed unconsciously.

"No wonder you just said that"

"If you choose to play, you have to play a five-minute long piece with a tempo higher than 120. It doesn't count if you play out of tune or if the performance is interrupted." Elaine gritted her teeth and complained, "If you create your own, the format on the paper will be restricted and troublesome. , no one wants to come here at all, no wonder there is so much gold here - it has been passed down for hundreds of years and has not been spent."
