The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Lucius's first stop to deal with items was Borgin and Bock's dark magic items shop in Knockturn Alley, but he failed to negotiate with old Borgin today: the price Borgin offered was too low, and this attitude of taking advantage of others made Mal Fu was a little angry. Of course, he wouldn't sell the diary to Bo Jin even if the deal was negotiated. Because Borkin knew so much about dark magic items, Lucius was afraid that he would see some clues.

After he had hidden the diary, Lawrence also packed up his second-grade textbook. Lucius almost couldn't control the expression on his face when he saw such a large box of books. At this time, he only said this in his heart: What the hell? Why so many?

Mr. Lawrence placed the box on the cashier's counter, and then put the few books Lucius had selected on it. Hermione glanced at it and said, "A total of 51 Galleons and 13 Sickles."

Lucius couldn't help it: fifty-one galleons was already close to half a month's salary, and this little girl only took one look and calculated it? Who are you trying to fool?

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Lucius glanced at Hermione and said arrogantly, "Don't you even know how to use a calculator?"

Hermione curled her lips, took out her calculator and started calculating, and the results were exactly right.

With a sullen expression, Lucius took out his money bag, took out 52 Galleons and placed them on the cashier.

"There's no need to look for it." He looked at his money bag that deflated in an instant, and he felt very bad. The Malfoy family had fallen into a dilemma of sitting on nothing. In order to maintain their appearance, he basically filled it with his monthly salary. Although he looks respectable on the outside, Mr. Lucius is actually living on a paycheck, struggling to balance his books and accounts, and his savings are growing slowly. This time he took out 52 Galleons. Although it was not much to him, it was still as disgusting as eating a fly.

Lucius looked at Hermione and suddenly remembered that his son had mentioned this yellow-haired girl. He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh, in order to buy these books, some people's families may go hungry..."

The sense of superiority comes from comparison. Lucius felt better when he thought that the Weasley family had to pay five times the money, and that the little Mudblood in front of him wanted to spit out all the income he earned from working during the holiday. a lot of.

Hermione raised her head and recalled the exchange rate between gold, gold galleons and pounds. 5 grams of gold is 1 galleons, and 35 galleons requires 175 grams of gold. The current gold price is 355 US dollars per ounce, which is almost 170 pounds per ounce. 1 ounce 31 grams…

After a simple calculation, Hermione found that she only needed 960 pounds to exchange for 35 galleons. Maybe her father could earn it by working overtime for a day or two?

Sometimes, it is too easy for European and American doctors to make money. For example, for nucleic acid testing, there are three designated institutions in Paris, two of which charge 50 euros - if you do not have medical insurance, you need to pay an additional 65 euros. The third one offers an additional package: 190 euros for one test, guaranteed within 12 hours. The results are provided in English, French, Arabic and Chinese. By the way, it will also help you apply for a green code. It is a one-stop service. As long as the customer's krypton funds are in place, you will definitely be arranged properly.

Doctors only need to work a little overtime to make a lot of money in absolutely legal ways. By the way, if you want to make an appointment for this clinic's rich package, you need to pay 100 euros in advance. If the appointment is canceled due to flight changes, the money is non-refundable.

Mr. Granger only needs to make an appointment in advance - pay more money, go to the dentist directly, and he can earn his daughter's book fees and living expenses in one fell swoop. It is very troublesome to make an appointment with the dentist in Europe and the United States. Some students have toothache in December and make an appointment with the dentist, and finally have their teeth cured when they go home during the Spring Festival - of course, this is because they have not found the right way.

Then Hermione's expression changed to: That's it?

And Lucius was keenly aware of the change in Hermione's expression.

Lucius:?

"It's okay. Dad can earn it by working overtime for two days." Hermione muttered softly.

This sentence directly broke Lucius's defense. He picked up his cane and quickly left Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Mr. Lawrence waited until he was gone, then straightened up, looked at Lucius's back, spat, and then returned to his office to rest. Hermione sat back on her stool and continued reading.

Tom stood up, walked carefully along the path Lucius had walked, and finally found the diary placed there in the corner of an inconspicuous bookshelf. Tom has been restocking these days, so he spotted this alien at a glance.

In fact, this diary is quite conspicuous because it looks like an old book. The cover looks weathered, the corners of the cover have been rolled up, and the inner pages are also somewhat yellowed. Such old books should not be found in Flourish and Blotts, which is full of new books.

Tom quietly put the diary into his pocket.

[Obtain Tom Riddle's diary

A seemingly ordinary blank diary belongs to sixth-grade Tom Riddle, which contains extremely evil power]

Tom knew that the diary was Voldemort's - or Tom Riddle's Horcrux. He had decided to destroy it immediately, but before destroying it, he needed to squeeze out the last bit of value from Riddle.

As for the erosion of Horcruxes, Tom had a vague guess that maybe the erosion problem could be solved. It was precisely because of this conjecture and the fact that Riddle in sixth grade could still be considered a human being that Tom dared to take advantage of the fire.

In the evening, Tom returned to his dormitory at Ollivander's Wand Shop after get off work. Today, for the first time, he did not practice carving. Instead, he sat at the table and spread out his diary.

He wrote his name in his diary: Tom Yoder. After a second, the ink faded, and the ink on the writing was absorbed by the pages of the diary, leaving no trace at all. Then, a line of text seeped out of the paper, using his ink to form a sentence: What a coincidence, my name is Tom too, my name is Tom Riddle.

Tom put the pen tip on the paper and let the diary absorb the ink. Tom suddenly realized something, so he changed a pen - he didn't want to write passively speaking the truth.

"You must be wondering why a diary can talk to people..."

Seeing Tom's delay in replying, the diary began to talk to himself again.

"Actually, I am an alchemical product made by an outstanding graduate!"

Tom didn't know how to complain for a moment: He was just bullying the little wizard for his lack of knowledge. If Riddle's diary is really the product of alchemy, then this thing is no less intelligent than the Sorting Hat. Then you, an outstanding graduate, have reached the level of the Big Four?

Seeing that Tom didn't answer, the diary began to seduce again: "Look, your name is Tom, and I am also called Tom, so..."

"Are there too many people named Tom in the UK?"

journal:……

Tom now read Riddle's diary and his mind was a little confused.
