In the quiet night, Allen opened his eyes in confusion. In the hazy night, a huge figure stood at the head of the bed. Allen's heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a pair of big hands. In a flurry, Allen turned on the light switch and let out a long sigh. It turned out to be the outline of the coat on the hanger. He drank some water, calmed his heartbeat, and fell asleep again.
Early in the morning, the sky was blue and the air was fresh. After washing up, Allen played with his sister in the living room while waiting for the others to tidy up and eat breakfast.
"Allen, you and your sister eat first, don't wait." Mrs. Harris happily directed the sandwich and milk to fly over.
"Okay, mom." Although he missed porridge and side dishes, Allen was satisfied to have a sandwich with fried eggs and sausages. Although the family was not very rich, Mrs. Harris was never stingy when it came to children's food. As a nurse, she knew too well the importance of a healthy body for human beings.
"Good morning, mom." Lunn was already dressed very neatly.
"Dear, I smell the aroma of food." Mr. Harris also came.
Daisy and Albert were the last to come down.
"Mom, I'm afraid I can't go out with everyone today, the department has a mission." Albert picked up the food and said to his mother before going out.
"Okay, Albert, be careful." Mrs. Harris hugged her eldest son. Although she was very proud that her son was an Aura, as a mother, she was always worried about her child!
"Don't worry, mom, it's just a daily mission." Albert was actually very excited. Yes, he was going to sneak into the school where the savior, Harry Potter, was at and protect him as a teacher. Now he was going to the elementary school for an interview.
After saying goodbye to his eldest brother, Albert, the whole family quickly set out. Harris and his wife were very capable and tacitly packed their belongings.
Allen was very much looking forward to the departure. He didn't know whether it would be a wizard's magic carpet, a magic broom, a flying net, a door key, or a phantom. If it was a flying car, it would be very exciting.
"Allen, come quickly." Mrs. Harris was already waiting for him outside the door.
Now, after the family of six walked for about 200 meters, they came to a street lamp. In Allen's eyes, this street lamp was no different from an ordinary street lamp.
"Harris Diagon Alley West." As Mr. Harris waved his magic wand, the street lights lit up. The purple light was clearly visible under the clear sunlight, forming the outline of an ordinary mall elevator on the ground. The whole family walked into the circle of light hand in hand. Mrs. Harris pressed gently on the recess of the lamppost, and a long box of grey stone appeared. She put in six copper termes, pressed the recess again, and the box quickly retracted. The purple light flashed a few times dazzlingly.
Allen felt like there was the sound of wind beside his ears. There seemed to be the sound of laughter and chatter, but there seemed to be nothing. There was only the sound of his blood flowing in his veins. It felt like a long time had passed, but it also felt like a moment. He staggered a few steps and found himself in the corner of a grain and oil store. The street around the corner was bustling with noise and excitement.
"What a great space magic. These mysterious Luqiu elves (a kind of magic creature) have made a great contribution to the magic world!" The second brother Lunn exclaimed.
"Well, children, we can still experience space magic on our way back. Now we need to go to Gringotte to get some flowers, and then you can get this month's pocket money." Mr. Harris winked at Allen and happily looked at the children cheering.
"Maybe I can buy a new robe for myself." Daisy, who loved to look beautiful, was looking forward to it.
"Then you have to be very frugal this month!" Mrs. Harris then lovingly stroked her little daughter's soft blonde hair. Emily was still young. Buying a sweet ice cream was enough to satisfy her.
The family chatted as they walked and came to a towering white building. They had arrived at Gringotte. The first thing they saw was the shiny bronze gate. This gate had witnessed the rise and fall of many wizard families! At the gate stood a fairy guard wearing a scarlet uniform with gold inlays. When Allen and his family stepped through the gate, he bowed and extended his wrinkled, hairy hand to show the family the way.
After walking for a while, they saw a silver gate. The gate was engraved with a poem that warned people not to be greedy.
"Indeed, wealth obtained with your own hands is the most reliable. Don't be delusional about reaping without sowing. "Seeing his youngest son observing, Mr. Harris took the opportunity to educate him.
"So Harry Potter successfully broke in and took away the Hufflepuff Gold Cup with his own hands. He worked hard, so he won't be rewarded." Allen let his imagination run wild.
After passing through the second silver gate, they entered a spacious marble hall. In the middle of the hall hung a huge conical chandelier. Huge marble columns supported the magnificent hall. About a hundred fairies sat behind a long counter. Some were jotting down notes in large ledgers, some were weighing coins with scales, and some were inspecting gems with eyeglasses.
"Vault 625." Mr. Harris handed the key to a little old man in a suit behind the counter.
"Please follow me." The fairy bowed and led the way.
"Oh, dear, I'll wait for you here. Do any of the children want to stay here with me? "Mrs. Harris thought that she didn't need to go through a bumpy journey.
"Mom, Emily and I will stay with you." It was exactly what Daisy wanted. She was afraid that the quick passage through the corridor would mess up her carefully styled hair this morning.
Allen and Lunn followed their father and sat on a small metal cart under the fairy's guidance. The small cart moved quickly through the maze-like winding corridors. In the process of moving quickly, Allen saw an underground lake. The walls and ceiling of the cave were filled with huge, strangely shaped stalactites and stalagmites. The cart stopped in front of the huge stone door marked with the number 625.
The fairy opened the stone door with the key. Unlike the miserable scene that Allen had imagined, more than a dozen piles of gold coins and several piles of silver coins emitted a tempting halo in the stone room. There were also some very old stone and iron tools of unknown use placed in an orderly manner on the shelves against the wall.
"Maybe there is some magic protecting them. Although they look like they have a long history, they are obviously carefully protected." Compared to money, Allen was more interested in these cultural relics.
"The quantity is still considerable!" Lunn sighed in satisfaction.
"Frugality is a virtue." Mr. Harris quickly grabbed a few handfuls of gold coins and filled a large amount of silver coins in a leather bag.
"It should be enough." Mr. Harris patted the leather bag contentedly and led the children to the cart.
Out of the Gringotte, Mr. Harris handed the leather bag to Mrs. Harris.
"Five gold coins and ten silver coins. Daisy, this is yours. I think it should be enough to buy a new robe. "
"Oh! Thank you, Mom. I'm so happy. I love you! "Daisy happily took the coins and expressed her gratitude.
Mrs. Harris took out the same amount of coins and handed them to Lunn.
"Thank you, Mom." Lunn took the coins and quickly put them in the backpack.
Allen looked at Mrs. Harris eagerly.
"Well, Lunn and Daisy are free to move around. Remember to gather in front of the Moon Palace restaurant at 12 o 'clock. Don't go over to the alley. "Mrs. Harris said.
"Mom, where's my pocket money?" For money, Allen did not hesitate to act cute.
"Good boy, you're with us. How about we go to Tom's shop first and buy you a big ice cream?" Mrs. Harris appeased her son.
"Okay." Although Allen was also eager for money, the feeling of asking for money was really uncomfortable, and he hadn't thought about what to buy yet.
"Honey, why don't you give Allen a few silver coins first?" Seeing his son's depressed look, Mr. Harris couldn't help but plead.
"Okay, okay, don't lose it." Mrs. Harris loved Mr. Harris very much and was willing to listen to his instructions. She handed ten silver coins to Allen, looked at her younger daughter, and put ten copper coins in Emily's pocket.
"Okay, let's go." Mr. Harris waved his hand and took his family shopping in high spirits. The coins in the pocket seemed to be shouting for them to be spent.
