Chapter 175 Gringotts
After confirming that Fish was really awake, Professor McGonagall led him out of the Leaky Cauldron and came to the back patio.
"Do you remember how to enter Diagon Alley?"
Professor McGonagall planned to let Fish try to open the passage himself.
"Remember, meow! Fish is so smart!" (●ΦωΦ●)
Fish ran to the brick wall where the trash cans were placed, then took out his vine wood wand and tapped the weathered brick gently.
What three bricks up and two bricks to the left? Why is it so troublesome? The difference between this brick and other bricks is so obvious, how could Fish make a mistake.
With the tapping of the wand, the brick wall in front of him immediately moved around, revealing a circular passage.
"Well done."
Professor McGonagall rubbed Fish's head, praised him, then took his hand and walked into the passage.
"Minerva, are we going to Florin's Ice Cream Shop to buy ice cream now, right meow?" (●ω●)
Fish raised his little head and looked at Professor McGonagall beside him with sparkling eyes.
He may not remember other shops very clearly, but Fish will never forget the shop that sells ice cream.
"Didn't you just finish drinking butter beer?" Professor McGonagall pinched Fish's little face unhappily, "Let's go buy you textbooks and learning tools for this semester first!"
"Meow..."
When he heard something related to learning, Fish's cat ears drooped instantly.
Then he rolled his pair of green eyes and said to Professor McGonagall very sincerely: "Minerva~ Fish already has textbooks, meow, you don't have to waste money."
Professor McGonagall: "..."
It's rare that his own cat cubs start to consider consumption issues for themselves, but Professor McGonagall is not happy at all.
She sneered at Fish and said, "Compared to textbooks, your food expenses are more expensive. Since Fish wants to save money for his mother, how about we eat simpler in the future?"
"Meow!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)
As long as things are related to food, Fish's attitude is completely different. He jumped up and down and retorted, "No meow! Fish, Fish is still a child, growing up! Eat more nutritious food, this is what you said, Minerva meow!"
"Didn't you say you grew up before?"
Professor McGonagall continued to tease Fish, making him anxious.
"Fish has only grown a little bit, and he will continue to grow meow!" Fish quickly used his fingers to indicate his recent height growth, and used the previous drunken incident to prove it, "And Fish was drunk just now meow!"
"You little greedy cat," Professor McGonagall rubbed Fish's head and comforted him with a smile: "Okay, I'm just teasing you, how can mom bear to let Fish go hungry."
"Hey hehe~" (●≧ω≦●)
Hearing that his food was saved, Fish's expression immediately became cheerful, and he didn't care about Professor McGonagall's tricking him... Anyway, she did this kind of thing a lot.
Unlike what he remembered, after walking out of the passage, Professor McGonagall did not take Fish into the crucible shop opposite the passage, but walked towards a tall white building in front.
"Minerva, did you go the wrong way meow?"
Fish pointed to the Patchy Crucible Shop left behind and kindly reminded.
"You're not in the wrong place," Professor McGonagall patiently explained, "Today we only need to buy new textbooks and supplement the materials needed for your Potions class. You don't need to buy new cauldrons and wands..."
Remembering that Fish's height had finally increased, Professor McGonagall added, "Well, we have to go to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop to prepare two larger school uniforms for you in advance. At your age, your height is still growing quite fast."
Professor McGonagall said this, and then led Fish by the hand and passed by Slug and Giggs Pharmacy, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, and Madam Malkin's Robe Shop without stopping.
"Meow?"⊙ω⊙
Fish looked confused and glanced back and forth between Professor McGonagall and the two shops that were skipped, wondering if she was drunk too.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall quickly gave an explanation.
"This year's textbooks..." Professor McGonagall paused for a moment, with a hint of disdain on her face, "It's a little expensive, so we have to go to Gringotts to get some money first."
"Fish knows Gringotts! It's where wizards save money! It's written in the textbook!" (●ΦωΦ●)
Gringotts is mentioned in the textbook of History of Magic, and Fish saw it when he was doing his homework.
"That's right," Professor McGonagall praised, "Fish is really smart."
Even this kind of child-like praise still has a great effect on Fish. He immediately raised his little head and squinted his eyes with pride.
The two came to Gringotts, and the two goblins at the door respectfully led them into a marble hall. There were countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and countless goblins were sitting on high stools behind a long row of counters, doing their own things.
When Feishi stepped into the hall, all the fairies looked at him, but soon they turned their eyes back to the gold coins and gems in their hands - for fairies, these things are the cutest.
"Meow? So many Grandpa Filius!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)
Feish was surprised to see so many fairies in the hall.
There is still a big difference between goblins and house-elves. They look very similar to Professor Flitwick, with long and pointed ears and noses, and these features are more obvious than Professor Flitwick.
"Yes, Gringotts is run by goblins. It should be written in the textbook of History of Magic, right?"
Professor McGonagall cast her scrutiny on Fish.
Fish immediately pouted and said in defense: "Of course Fish knew, I just didn't expect there would be so many goblins in it." (〃`3〃)
He was not worried that Professor McGonagall would misunderstand that he didn't study hard, but he was just praised by Minerva for being smart, how could he fail so quickly, and Fish didn't lie, his memory was still very good.
And Professor McGonagall didn't continue to dwell on this issue. She came to a counter and said to the goblin sitting on it: "I want to take some money from Minerva McGonagall's safe."
As she said, she took out a small golden key from her pocket and put it on the counter.
The goblin held the key under his nose and examined it carefully. After staring at Fitz for a while, he nodded and said, "No problem. I'll ask someone to take you to the underground vault... Fitzbab!"
Another goblin ran over from the side and led Professor McGonagall and Fitzbab out of the hall through one of the many doors.
Behind the door was a narrow stone corridor. A large number of torches on the wall made the corridor brighter than in the hall, causing Fitzbab's pupils to shrink to the size of a needle tip.
The goblin named Fitzbab whistled, and soon a cart rushed over from a distance. Fitzbab then noticed that there was a railroad track under the stone corridor.
The two followed Fitzbab on the cart, and then the cart started moving again at the same speed as before.
"Ah, whoosh!" (●≧≦●)
The speed of the cart was so fast that Professor McGonagall's face was not so good, but Fitzbab was very happy. He just liked this kind of exciting high-speed movement.
After a lot of twists and turns, the cart stopped in front of a small door.
"Is it over, meow?"
Fish smacked his lips with a sense of unsatisfaction, and said to Professor McGonagall, whose face was a little pale, "Minerva, I want to play more meow."
Professor McGonagall: "..."

The word for the goblin in HP is Goblin, which is Goblin, and is translated into Goblin in World of Warcraft.
Crank Fizzlebub is from World of Warcraft, an NPC in Booty Bay. You can get the tricky quest "Fool's Wine" from him. Maybe old players of World of Warcraft will have a deeper impression of him.
The goblins in HP are the ones in Ron's garden. The word is Gnome, which is translated into dwarf in World of Warcraft.
The expansion pack of Goblins vs. Dwarfs in Hearthstone is called "Brother vs. Earth" in the Taiwan server, which means Goblin vs. Goblin.
If we trace back to the source, the translations of HP and Taiwan servers are correct. The correct English translation of dwarf should be Dvergr, which is generally translated as gray dwarf in DND, and there are also translations such as earth spirit and dwarf.
In Norse mythology, the original body shape of dwarfs is actually similar to that of humans, but later gradually evolved into small people, which makes it easy for even foreigners to confuse them. Until now, there is no such strict distinction, so the domestic translation cannot be considered wrong.
