Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 101 Emotional Intelligence.JPG
Since Hagrid had already left, Tierra had no choice but to stay with the Weasleys for the time being.

As long as an adult wizard stays by her side, Tierra believes Dobby won't have a chance to make a move.

“Welcome, child,” Molly Weasley said with a smile, putting her arm around Tierra’s shoulder. “I’ve heard Ron mention you often. Welcome!”

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley," Tierra said, sounding somewhat helpless but trying to sound happy.

“Come on, son, let’s go to the bank first!” Arthur Weasley said, looking at Tyella with some anticipation.

I really want to see his Muggle currency.

Tierra "heard" Arthur Weasley say this.

“Oh… alright.” Tierra silently pulled a dozen pounds from her pocket—

Tierra had saved up £1,100 while working in London. At the start of last semester, she exchanged £500 for 100 Galleons, plus a £5 transaction fee.

Tierra then took out another five hundred and five pounds, and then pulled out several banknotes of different denominations from the remaining change in her pocket and handed them to Arthur Weasley—

"Oh my god!" Arthur Weasley took the pounds and looked them over happily. "This is Muggle currency!?"

“Look at the pattern, and the thickness, this is simply a work of art!” Arthur Weasley exclaimed. “Can I keep a few of these?”

“Yes…” Tiera was about to answer.

“No way—” Molly Weasley snatched the pounds from Arthur Weasley’s hand and shoved them back into Thiella’s hand.

“Arthur! How could you take a child’s things!” Molly scolded sternly, while Arthur Weasley shrugged like a child who had made a mistake.

“No, it’s alright, Mrs. Weasley,” Tierra said, smoothing out the crumpled banknotes in her hand and handing them back to Mr. Weasley.

“This isn’t much money,” Tierra said. “Anyway, I’ll be bothering you for a while—consider it my way of thanking you.”

“Oh, child, you don’t have to…” Molly was about to say something when Arthur Weasley quickly stuffed the pounds into his pocket.

“Welcome, Tierra!” Arthur Weasley said, giving Tierra a big hug.

Molly had no choice but to agree.

And they were even more enthusiastic about Tierra, since parents from both the East and the West love a sensible and academically excellent child like her.

As Arthur Weasley inquired about the functions and uses of various items in the Muggle world from Tyrell, he entered Gringotts.

Tiera first exchanged 100 Galleons at the Gringotts front desk and received her tuition subsidy for the academic year, then followed the Gringotts goblins into the underground vault.

They first went to the Weasley family's vault, where there was only a few scattered silver siecos and a single gold galleon.

Mrs. Weasley searched every nook and cranny of the vault, pried out a few copper knuckles from the cracks, and finally put all the coins into her small bag.

Then they went to Harry's vault.

Harry looked somewhat embarrassed because when the vault doors opened wide, they saw a small mountain of Galleons—

Somewhat embarrassed, Harry took out a small bag, grabbed a handful of gold coins from the ground, and swept them into his bag.

As they left Gringotts, Percy muttered about wanting to buy a new quill pen, while Fred and George spotted their Hogwarts friend, Lee Jordan.

Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were going to a shop that sold old robes.

Mr. Weasley insisted on having a drink at the Leaky Cauldron with the Grangers, whom he had met on the way.

"Meet at Flourish and Blotts in an hour. I'll buy you textbooks," Mrs. Weasley instructed as she led Ginny away.

“Hey, Tyra, your voice…” George Weasley nudged Tyra immediately after Mrs. Weasley pulled Ginny away and asked, “Could it be…”

“Yes,” Tiera nodded.

“That’s amazing!” Fred exclaimed. “What’s the recipe?” “I forgot.” Tierra shook her head. “I ate it by accident—I forgot it was a prank candy.”

"Oh no—" the twins wailed, "We have to try the recipe all over again!"

“But that means you’re close to success, isn’t it?” Tierra shrugged. “I can help you with the experiments next semester.”

“That’s fantastic, Tyella!” the Weasley twins exclaimed excitedly. “But we need to buy some ingredients first… Hmm… let me think… Dr. Philippa’s self-ignition… and the water-blooming magic fireworks…”

George and Fred Weasley talked as they pulled Lee Jordan toward the Bouncing & Playing Magical Jokes Shop in Diagon Alley.

Only Tyella, Harry, and the other two members of the trio who had been penalized remained on the Gringotts steps.

"Long time no see, Tierra!" Harry happily hugged Tierra.

[Great, Dobby was lying after all; Tiera is perfectly normal.]

I shouldn't have doubted Tiera.

Through physical contact, Tierra learned what Harry was thinking.

Tiera understood.

It seems Dobby must have said something to Harry.

Fortunately, Harry didn't believe it.

“You simply can’t believe what I’ve been through!” Harry exclaimed excitedly to Tyella.

Now the four of them are walking along the winding cobblestone streets of Diagon Alley.

The gold, silver, and copper coins jingled merrily in Harry's pocket, making Tyella's heart itch with desire.

Harry bought four large scoops of strawberry peanut butter ice cream. They strolled leisurely through the alley, enjoying their ice cream and browsing the dazzling array of shop windows.

Ron stared longingly at the complete set of Chadli Cannons robes displayed in the Quidditch boutique window, while Hermione ran to a nearby shop to buy ink and parchment.

Meanwhile, Harry, who had nothing to do, stood on the street chatting with Tyrell.

“I met a house-elf named Dobby!” Harry exclaimed, his eyes wide. “He said you’re possessed by Voldemort!”

"But thankfully I didn't believe it," Harry patted his chest.

"Then why didn't you reply to my letter?" Tierra feigned anger. "You still believed it, didn't you?"

“What? No… I, I didn’t…” Harry hurriedly denied.

"It was Dobby! Dobby intercepted my letter!" Harry explained in a flustered manner. "It's true! I haven't received your letter, nor Ron's and Hermione's letters!"

“I will never doubt you!” Harry said anxiously, looking as if he was about to swear an oath.

“We’re friends, Harry,” Tyrell coaxed. “Why would I harm you?”

"Hmm." Harry lowered his head, his little face flushed, as if he had done something wrong.

“Yes, Harry, we are friends, we should help each other, you should trust us completely…”

Halfway through her sentence, Tiera suddenly paused.

No, that's not what he should say!
