Chapter 3 - Chapter Three Gringotts

"Oh, Professor McGonagall, how come you have time to be here? Would you like a sweet butterbeer?" A voice full of surprise rang out. "It's Tom. Not this time, after all, I still have to lead the new students," Professor McGonagall replied with a smile. "What a pity." Professor McGonagall didn't continue the conversation but led Thomas towards a small courtyard behind the bar. "Thomas, watch carefully, every one of my rules." "Yes, Professor." Professor McGonagall looked at Thomas' serious expression and nodded in satisfaction. Then she quickly tapped her wand on the wall a few times. "Did you see that, Thomas?" "Three blocks up from the trash can and two blocks across." "Very good." In the next second, the walls around them began to crack and finally formed a two-person-wide passage. At the other end of the passage, many people of all kinds were constantly walking on the street. "Welcome to Diagon Alley, Thomas!" Professor McGonagall said softly. Thomas looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel excited. He had finally arrived in the magical world! [Dingdong, congratulations, host, the main task has officially started] [Task 1: Obtain the full recognition of all members of one of the four houses.] "Oh, by the way, do you have any money, child?"

Professor McGonagall looked at the stunned Thomas and suddenly asked, "This is a very crucial question. Of course, it's no problem if you don't have money. Hogwarts provides a lot of financial assistance to students." "Sure, Professor, I have the key," Thomas said as he took out the key from his pocket. Professor McGonagall was taken aback at this scene and became even more certain of Thomas's identity. It was very likely that he was a branch of the Black family that had been lost. After all, magical families have a long history, and it's not uncommon for one or two branches to split off. Professor McGonagall, having come to her senses, lowered her head and continued to speak to Thomas. "Then let's go, Thomas. Let's go to Gringotts first." In no time, the two of them appeared in front of a tall white building. Two goblins in scarlet and gold robes greeted them respectfully. Then, a silver door came into view, with tiny words engraved on both sides. The general meaning was: "Please come in, stranger, but be careful..." .. Overall, it was just a warning, but Thomas didn't pay much attention to it because he knew that it wouldn't be long before Voldemort visited this vault, and then in a few years, it would be the Potter gang. On both sides of the hall, there were goblins dressed in suits, some counting money and others handling business for wizards. Then, under Professor McGonagall's lead, Thomas walked straight to a counter. "Thomas Black to open the Black family vault!" Thomas said as he took the key out of his pocket and placed it on the counter. The goblin looked at the black-haired, black-eyed teenager in front of him and couldn't help but frown slightly. Logically speaking, the only three Blacks left in the modern era, one had married out and lost the right to inherit the vault, and the other two were in Azkaban and would never get out in their lifetime. Once the last member of this family died, the Black family vault would naturally become the property of the goblins. But now, a young man claiming to be a Black had suddenly appeared. What a headache!

Professor McGonagall, of course, had noticed this as well. For a goblin to frown, the amount of money in the vault must be quite considerable. But as the deputy headmistress of Hogwarts, she naturally stood by her student. "What's the matter? Is there a problem?" The goblin sighed helplessly upon hearing Professor McGonagall's words and adjusted his glasses. He knew that the money would have to be paid, but there were always exceptions. "No problem. Please wait a moment." The goblin said as he took out a badge and placed it on the table. Below the badge were three crows, and above was a red arm holding a wand. The back of the badge was red with a golden star, and a golden skull and vines surrounded the badge. "The Black family's coat of arms," Professor McGonagall recognized it at first sight. "Exactly," the goblin adjusted his glasses and continued. "Then let this heir of the Black family take the final test." "Use your blood and drop it on the coat of arms. If your bloodline is pure, the coat of arms will react." "Okay," Thomas didn't hesitate and took out a knife, making a small cut on his finger and letting the blood drop onto the coat of arms. In the next second, the coat of arms reacted instantly. The three black crows seemed to come alive and flew out of the coat of arms, circling around Thomas, while the golden arm began to wave the wand. Damn it, it's really a Black, the goblin cursed in his heart. Now all the evidence pointed to Thomas being the heir of the Black family, and he had nothing more to say. He quickly waved his hand to summon another goblin to take his place and jumped off the stool, then walked out from behind the counter.

"Come with me," said the goblin as he walked inside. "It's all right, child," Professor McGonagall patted Thomas on the shoulder and then motioned for him to follow the goblin. A huge cave appeared before the two of them. "Get on the cart," the goblin waved his hand and said. As the two of them got on the cart, this simple version of the "Chong Feng Hao" began to move. After a fast slide, Thomas, with a pale face, got off the cart with Professor McGonagall's support. It had to be said that this was really terrifying. The door was about eight or nine meters high, with a huge golden door, and the family crests of the Black family were printed on both sides. "All right, please use the door key now," the goblin said. Professor McGonagall stepped back two steps upon hearing the goblin's words and then spoke. "Professor, I'll leave for a moment." "No need, Professor, it's just opening a door." Thomas shook his head and then walked to the keyhole and turned it. Several red rays of light immediately shone on Thomas. Professor McGonagall saw this and immediately pulled out her wand, ready to rescue her student. "It's okay, Professor!" Thomas stopped Professor McGonagall's action and said. Under the bath of the red light, he could feel his body functions rapidly strengthening. Of course, if Professor McGonagall had entered these red lights, it might have been a different situation.
