Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 16 Dumbledore must have his reasons for doing this!

On the way to the wizard bank, Gringotts, Tom was dazzled...

Most of the shops on both sides of the street sold goods that the two had never seen before.

There were vendors selling owls, various strange potion ingredients, cauldrons, and broomsticks...

To Tom's surprise, there was ice cream for sale here too!
When the two passed by a shop called Mr. Mokin's Robe Shop, Li Weide suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Aren't we going to the Wizard Bank to exchange money?" Tom asked in confusion.

In fact, he couldn't wait to go shopping in these shops, so it was crucial to change the money first.

"We have to buy two decent sets of clothes," said Li Weide.

"Of course, but we have to change the money first, don't we?" Tom said with a frown.

He didn't quite understand why Li Weide was talking nonsense.

"When we asked where the bank was just now, the gentleman told us that the wizarding bank is called Gringotts and is controlled by goblins, is that correct?"

"Yes."

"He also said that goblins are very greedy creatures, right?"

"Yes."

"So what do you think will happen if we go to Gringotts dressed like this to exchange gold for money?" asked Levitra.

Tom looked at his clothes. Although they looked clean, they were very old and had patches on many places.

Then Tom also understood the key issue.

"You mean... when the goblins see us like this and don't look like rich people, they will suspect that our gold came from an illegal source and take the opportunity to lower the price?"

Li Weide nodded. "That's right, Tom. You know, this gold is hard to come by. I don't want to give it away to those greedy goblins."

It wasn't easy to come by. I almost lost my life when I encountered the beast-like Nagini.

"You make sense." Tom's face turned serious. "Let's go. We need a set of clothes. I just hope we have enough money... You know, Dumbledore only gave each of us 20 gold Galleons..."

Li Weide smiled and said, "Don't worry, just leave it to me. I promise to get two sets of good clothes for both of us."

Tom looked at Li Weide doubtfully, "Are you planning to rob me?"

"You think I'm you... I'll grab you if you don't agree with me."

Tom rolled his eyes when he heard that and walked into the store first.

"Ding rang rang!"

As soon as the shop door was pushed open, the bell on the door rang.

"Welcome, two lovely little gentlemen. Would you like to buy your school robes for school entry?"

A tall man with gold-rimmed glasses, a small moustache, and a gorgeous and exquisite tuxedo was looking at them with a smile.

He was dressed as if he had just come from a dinner party.

"In fact, we want to buy two sets of nice clothes first. Then we can buy school robes later." Tom began.

"Oh..." The man looked at the two people's clothes and said, "You really should change your clothes. Your current outfit doesn't match the way you look at all! Come on, leave it to me!"

"Well... I want to say, we don't have much money now..." Tom said a little uneasily.

After all, they couldn't just take out the gold bars and spend them directly. It would be too strange if they could take out gold bars when they were dressed like that.

"I understand, kid. Needless to say, I know my limits. I've been doing business in Diagon Alley for many years. I've seen many children in your situation. The clothes I recommend to you are absolutely suitable at the price!" The man pulled Tom over first, and two or three measuring tapes flew over. Then, under Tom's surprised gaze, he automatically measured his size.

"Are you Mr. Mokin?" Li Weide suddenly asked.

"Yes, child, there's my sign outside," Mr. Malkin replied enthusiastically.

"Then... sir, can I try this suit?"

Li Weide asked politely, standing in front of a set of clothes that looked very expensive.

Mr. Malkin stroked his moustache. "This suit is not cheap, kid."

"Can I rent it? I want to rent it for two hours. The rent is negotiable. Also, this is the deposit." Li Weide said, and a small gold bar appeared in his hand.

When Tom saw Li Weide take out the gold bars, his eyes widened and he looked at Li Weide as if he was a fool.

If this gold bar can be taken out directly without any scruples, I can also handle it directly! Do I need you?

Mr. Mokin took the gold bar and examined it carefully, then looked at Li Weide in surprise, "This... this is real gold, I thought you were joking with me! But... the value of your gold is much higher than this suit! Do you trust me so much? What if I..."

"Since Mr. Malkin has been able to do business in Diagon Alley for so many years, his reputation is naturally beyond doubt. Besides... we are actually working for Professor Dumbledore now. Otherwise, where would the gold come from?" Levitra said calmly.

Mr. Malkin suddenly realized and said, "Ah! So it's Professor Dumbledore's task! I see! Haha, it's just some strange little test, isn't it?"

"I've heard that he likes to give his students all kinds of strange little tests. It turns out to be true!"

"Since you're working for Professor Dumbledore, forget about the deposit. Take the gold back and I'll pick out two sets of clothes that will suit you!"

When he heard Dumbledore's name, the remaining doubts in Mr. Malkin's mind disappeared, and the source of the gold was also explained.

The famous Dumbledore couldn't even come up with a few pieces of gold? As for what kind of small test or task it was...it had nothing to do with Mr. Malkin.

Dumbledore must have his reasons for doing this!

By the time they both changed into expensive new clothes and walked out the door, Tom was still a little dazed.

Li Weide suddenly laughed and said, "Tom, did you notice?"

"what?"

"As long as it's something related to Professor Dumbledore, no matter how strange it is, others will always accept it quickly."

Tom sighed. "Maybe it's because he's crazy normally? But he doesn't look like that. Besides, can a crazy person be a professor?"

However, when Tom recalled Dumbledore's exaggerated attire when he first met him, he suddenly found his way into the picture.

"Well, now I just hope Dumbledore doesn't find out that you're doing this in his name..." Tom said a little worriedly.

The scene of Dumbledore burning his wardrobe is still vivid in his mind! He was afraid that if he was discovered, Levitra would implicate him...

"No, no, no, Tom, you are wrong." Li Weide stretched out his index finger and waved it repeatedly.

He pointed at himself, then at Tom, "It should be the two of us, working together under his name... After all, you're wearing this suit, too."

Li Weide deliberately put emphasis on the word "together".

Tom's forehead was bulging with veins, "You... bastard!"

Before I knew it, I was dragged onto the pirate ship again!

"Tom, your swearing vocabulary is a little limited. If you need it, I can actually teach you..."

"roll!"
