HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 12 Platform 9¾

Ding--

The user received 432 Gallons, 14 Sikor, and 25 Nat.

After creating an account at Gringotts, users can receive blank checks issued by Gringotts.

In each transaction, in addition to paying in cash, the buyer can also choose to write a check, fill in the quantity and sign it, and have the seller cash it in Gringotts.

After all, wizards do have times when they make large transactions, and you can't expect them to count hundreds or thousands of Galon, Sikor, and Nat one by one at that time.

That would be so inelegant!

Because these wizard checks are bound by a magical contract, they are safer and more stable than checks from the Muggle world.

When Elaine followed Dumbledore to apply for a scholarship at Gringotts, he received a stack of blank checks.

At this point, he approached Old Burke to sell the stolen goods. Since the amount was rather large, he chose to pay by check, so that he wouldn't have to carry a large bag of gold coins around in public.

Just before leaving, Elaine stopped in his tracks.

"By the way, do you have any new spatial pockets?"

Old Bock quickly replied, "Yes, yes..."

"Give me one!"

"We have different models here, which one would you like?"

Bokinbock lives up to its reputation as a notorious black market shop, openly selling even "officially prohibited items."

When it came time to sell things, old Burke put on a completely different mercenary face, as if someone had cast a spell of "forgetfulness" on him, making him forget the threat he had just felt from Elaine.

"I recommend this Merck leather bag to you."

"Compared to other pockets, it has three advantages."

"Firstly, the interior space is larger;"

"Secondly, it offers better privacy; only the owner can retrieve items placed inside."

"The last point is convenience. You can access things with your mind. As long as you think about what you want to take, you can accurately take it out of the bag instead of taking something else."

"This thing is very rare now; there's only one in the entire Borginburg store."

"If you want it, I'll only charge you 400... no, no, no, I'll only charge you 200 Galleons!"

Elaine stared silently at old Burke for half a minute before finally uttering, "20 Galleons!"

"Merlin's beard!"

"You can't do that!"

"No wizard would haggle like this!!"

Old Bock screamed instantly.

Those cunning eyes suddenly became clear, like the water in the Thames.

The screams shook the entire shop, and several clumps of dust even fell from the ceiling.

"180 Galleons, that's the lowest I can offer!"

"30 Galleons!"

This kid is hardly a wizard.

He is clearly a real demon!

Old Bock gritted his teeth and made an extremely difficult decision: "150 Galleons! If you still don't accept this, then I can only say I'm sorry."

After thinking it over, Elaine decided to quit while he was ahead.

"Alright, 150 Galleons it is."

Ding--

The user paid 150 Galleons.

After carefully tucking the Merck bag into his body, Elaine left the Burkin & Burke store and headed towards Diagon Alley.

Watching Elaine's departing figure, old Burke fell into a long silence.

He had finally managed to get rid of this evil spirit and even made a decent business deal, but for some reason, he just couldn't feel happy.

"We need to investigate this kid's background thoroughly!"

……

September st.

King's Cross Station.

Elaine, holding his ticket, made his way through the bustling crowd to the platform.

His thick, smooth blond hair and handsome, youthful face attracted the attention of many.

The closer they got to Platform 9, the more people noticed Elaine.

But the reason he attracted attention was not because he had anything special about him.

On the contrary, it was precisely because he was empty-handed and had nothing with him that he attracted so much attention.

You see, people who come to take the train are definitely going on a long journey, and since they are going on a long journey, they will inevitably have a lot of bags and packages, whether they are wizards or Muggles.

Who would come on a train without bringing anything with them?

But Elaine is the odd one out!

Not to mention that this oddball was a little child without any adults with him.

If others don't focus their attention on him, who else should they focus on?

Not long after, Elaine noticed that several kind-hearted police officers were quietly following him.

Ok……

Elaine dared not trust the police officers from Western countries, so he secretly pulled out his wand from his sleeve and pointed it at himself.

"This is misleading!"

A confusion spell can confuse others' perception of the target, and the modified "perceptual information" can be determined by the caster's will.

Now, to outsiders, nothing about him seems strange anymore.

Sure enough, the kind-hearted police officer left quickly.

Also leaving were several strange middle-aged men whose clothing and appearance were clearly unusual.

Elaine immediately identified the strange middle-aged men.

"Those people... they must be Ministry of Magic employees who come here specifically to guide aspiring wizards, right?"

"I have to say, this 'Confusion Charm' is really useful."

Before long, he had found the locations of platforms nine and ten.

At the same time, a large group of people came into his view.

First, there was a whole bunch of red-haired children.

Led by a plump middle-aged woman, they each pushed a luggage cart toward the platform, chattering incessantly, which was quite eye-catching.

Without a doubt, this must be a Weasley child.

Looking past the family, Elaine's gaze fell further into the distance, where he saw a boy with short black hair, wearing glasses, who looked malnourished, with a bewildered expression on his face, and who kept looking around with curiosity.

Finally, Harry Potter has appeared!

Hey, buddy!

"Oh--!"

Hearing the strange voice beside him, Harry was startled and turned around in a panic, causing his glasses to fly off his nose.

Hedwig, who was in the birdcage, seemed to be startled as well, and her wings flapped violently.

"Ouch, watch out!"

Elaine reached up with his right hand and caught the glasses just as they were about to fall to the ground.

Losing his glasses made his vision blurry, and when someone suddenly started talking to him, Harry was completely dazed.

Who is this person?

When did he appear?

Why didn't I notice him at all just now?!

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person," Elaine chuckled.

Seeing Elaine's enthusiasm, Harry felt a little more at ease: "Thank you for catching my glasses. Could you please give them back to me?"

"sure!"

Elaine was about to hand over the glasses when he suddenly noticed that they appeared to be damaged, so he stopped.

Harry: "??"

To Harry's astonishment, Elaine held the glasses in his left hand and gently wiped them with his right.

Restoring it to its original condition!
