Chapter 13 Empty Their Wallets! Conversation In The Principal's Room
At Florin Dessert Shop, the two found a table with a parasol. Wayne ordered two ice creams, one for himself and one for Hermione.
"This is a bonus service. I will go home at five o'clock at most."
Hermione took out her purse, took out two Sickles and handed them to Wayne.
Ever since she learned that Wayne was an orphan, Hermione's attitude had become very soft. Until just now, she was still trying to persuade Wayne not to spend money recklessly. It would still be several years before he could earn his own living expenses as an adult.
Wayne just smiled and nodded without retorting.
Hermione was no different from what he remembered. She spoke with a domineering tone and kept talking about studying and books.
However, the kindness inside has never been concealed.
It is not unreasonable for the Sorting Hat to sort her into Gryffindor.
After receiving "Hogwarts: A School History", Hermione couldn't wait to read it.
This was rented for an hour by Xi Ke. The little witch cherished it very much and concentrated on it.
After Wayne took over Sickle, the system beeped suddenly.
[It is detected that the host has successfully earned the living expenses of the little wizard, and a large-scale long-term mission has been launched - empty their wallets! 】
[Mission Description: Is there any money in the world more valuable than a child’s pocket money? Empty their wallets. Every Galleons earned can be exchanged for system points. The exchange ratio is 1 Galleons for 5 points. 】
[This mission is valid while the host is studying at Hogwarts and will disappear upon graduation or withdrawal. 】
Wayne: "..."
System, be a human being.
How can I exchange 1 galleung for 5?
No, little wizards only have a few pocket money a year, and normal students only have a dozen. Slytherin purebloods may have more, but there are many little wizards like Ronald who only have one or two little wizards a year.
With just such a small amount of money, you still keep an eye on their wallets?
What a different thing!
Wayne looked up to the sky and sighed, Hermione raised her head in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I just thought of something. By the way, how much pocket money do you have?"
Hermione didn't think much and answered immediately: "Except for buying books, I only have 5 Galleons this school year."
Only 25 points...
Wayne looked at the little witch with disgust, which made her confused, and she hummed softly and continued reading.
Although I despise this task of the system, the points... are still very good.
He can quickly become stronger as he accumulates points. As he becomes stronger, if Voldemort's minions come to Hogwarts, he can protect other young wizards.
What is this if not a win-win?
No, he wasn't trying to steal those little wizards' money. The system made it very clear that points must be earned before they can be redeemed.
Therefore, it can only be obtained through normal trading channels.
After this calculation, the little wizards won twice, and he lost!
The more Wayne thought about it, the angrier he became, silently thinking about what kind of thing would allow him to strip away the little wizard's wallet as much as possible.
A profiteer who will make the little wizard change his mind when he hears about it, and the profiteer he loves and hates is rising...
Time flies.
The sun slowly set in the west, and more than two hours passed quickly.
Wayne knocked on the table lightly, waking up Hermione who was still looking at it, and said softly.
"It's time for me to go home."
"Huh? Oh." Hermione reluctantly closed the book and returned it to Wayne.
"When are you coming to Diagon Alley again?" Hermione asked.
"What about you?" Wayne looked at her.
"I have been practicing my spells at home in the morning recently, and in the afternoon I go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to read."
Hermione planned to read all the books introducing the wizarding world and Hogwarts before school started, so as to learn as much as possible.
"Then take this book first." Wayne waved his hand.
"But I don't have that much money..."
"No need to give me money, I'll lend it to you for a week. I'll come to Diagon Alley then, and you just need to pay me back."
This can be regarded as the little witch's reward for activating a system task for him.
Hermione was extremely surprised and took the book into her arms, promising that she would return it to him in a week.
To this end, Hermione also left her home phone number with Wayne and took his phone number for easy contact in the future.
........
Hogwarts.
This morning, Professor McGonagall finally completed the task of instructing the last young wizard from a pure Muggle family and returned to school.
Dumbledore happened to be at school, so she came to the principal's office on the eighth floor to report the situation.
After listening to McGonagall with a smile, Dumbledore's soft gaze fell on McGonagall through his half-moon glasses:
"Minerva, thank you for your hard work. If I hadn't sent Snape out, it would have been a lot easier for you."
McGonagall's expression remained serious: "It's all for school. It's not hard work. In terms of hard work, Albus, you are the one who works the hardest."
"Haha." The old man smiled and said, "I feel ashamed for saying this."
McGonagall did not answer, but asked the question that concerned him: "How is the situation at Potter? Hagrid didn't mess things up."
"I believe in Hagrid, just as I believe in you." Dumbledore said, "Although there is a little hiccup, you will see the child on September 1st."
Dumbledore briefly told what Hagrid saw and heard at the Dursleys, and McGonagall became visibly angry.
"How could they do this!" Professor McGonagall said angrily
"Relax, McGonagall, Muggles tend to have some prejudices against wizards. In fact, there is not much difference between the two, at least not how they raised that child."
The anger on McGonagall's face still hadn't dissipated, but her good qualities prevented her from saying anything too outrageous.
Dumbledore comforted: "Okay Minerva, if nothing happens, you can go back and rest, enjoy the vacation that is less than a month away, and then you have to face those energetic little guys."
"Sorry, I do have one more thing, I almost forgot." McGonagall held his forehead: "I met a very talented little wizard, Wayne Lawrence."
"He spent almost an hour choosing a wand, and in the end he spontaneously used the Patronus Charm."
"oh?"
Dumbledore's eyes lit up and he sat up slightly.
"impossible!"
The portraits of the previous principals on the wall no longer pretended to be asleep, and a mean-looking wizard even screamed.
"McGonagall! I've read so many books and you can't fool me. How is it possible that a little wizard who is new to wands can use a Patronus!"
"Be patient, Phineas." Dumbledore motioned for him to be quiet, and then asked:
"Can you tell me the specific situation in detail?"
