"My little master is so kind!"
Patty screamed.
Darren sighed and quickened his pace toward Gringotts.
He just wanted Patsy to return to her original state as soon as possible.
Please, please.
……
Gringotts is said to be the safest place besides Hogwarts.
It's a bank run by fairies.
The staff coming and going inside were all fairies.
They looked arrogant and spoke with disdain.
Some even speak loudly to customers.
The service here is terrible.
Furthermore, it's not safe to deposit money here.
In the original book, Gringotts was broken into at least twice.
"Hello, sir, what kind of service do you need?"
Upon seeing Darren enter with a house-elf, a very old goblin quickly came to greet him.
Families that keep house-elves are usually ancient families, and the people in these families are of noble status.
"Our little master is going to Harry Potter and Darren Potter's vault. Here's the key!"
Patchouli placed a small key in front of the fairy.
This was given to it by Dumbledore. After Lily and James passed away, the key to their vault was temporarily kept by Dumbledore, who originally intended to give it to Harry after he started school.
Now that the Potter family's house-elves have arrived, he naturally handed them over to Patchouli.
"Harry Potter, Darren Potter? The Potter family has two heirs, what a prosperous family!"
The old fairy looked at the key and slowly offered a compliment.
Patchouli proudly raised her head.
We have to thank the previous Mrs. Potter.
She gave birth to two little masters, especially little Darren, who is so adorable!
Fortunately, Patsy didn't say that out loud, otherwise Darren might be dead here today.
Society is dead!
After confirming that the key was genuine, the old fairy summoned a young fairy.
"Pull the ring, it will take you to the vault."
The fairy named Pull Ring glanced at Darren, a hint of curiosity flashing in its eyes.
A few days ago, a student named Harry Potter came to collect money. I don't know if he is Darren Potter's older or younger brother.
Moreover, Harry Potter was dressed very simply, and Darren Potter was accompanied by a house-elf. Could there be some hidden story behind this?
However, none of this concerns him.
He, Rapunzel, will never bow down to these wizards!
Darren stared intently at the arrogant pull ring leading the way for a long time.
This is also a very famous fairy that appears in the original work.
It first appeared in the first book when Harry went to Gringotts to get money; it was this creature that led the way.
The second time was in the Deathly Hallows.
Gripping asked Harry for the Gryffindor sword, even promising to bring them into Gringotts and out safely.
As soon as he got the sword, he notified Gringotts and ran away with it.
He's quite a cunning guy.
Unexpectedly, it was this guy who led the way when Darren first withdrew money from Gringotts.
Could it be that he'll have to try his luck at Gringotts someday?

Chapter Nineteen: Darren the Poor
The thought only flashed through Darren's mind before he dismissed it.
That's so rude!
How could someone who aspires to let his divine light shine throughout Hogwarts do such an uncivilized thing?
But if you run out of money, maybe you can steal the Gryffindor sword from the Sorting Hat and exchange it for some money at the Pull-Loop?
Darren considered this possibility, his "kind" gaze sweeping over the pull ring.
The very young fairy, Raring, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Is it getting cold?
He rubbed his hands together.
I looked around.
Darren silently looked away.
He suddenly remembered that if he could steal the Gryffindor sword from the Sorting Hat, why not just steal Galleons from Malfoy and his gang of Slytherin nobles?
Maybe we can steal the richest man?
This……
As Darren pondered the feasibility of this idea, the pull ring finally stopped the car.
"Alright, this is it!"
Pulling the ring off the trolley, he opened the vault door.
A puff of green smoke appeared, and when it dissipated, Darren opened his mouth in astonishment.
What money are you stealing?
Tadaran, keep yourself clean!
There was just too much money inside.
He had heard about Harry's parents' wealth described in the original book, but seeing how stingy Harry was in the book, even reluctant to buy Firebolts, he thought it wasn't actually that much.
Who knew that I would come and see for myself?
Inside were piles of Galleons, silver bars, and mountains of bronze coins.
That adds up to at least...
"Three hundred thousand Galleons, two million Silver Sickles, and Bronze Natpatcher did not count."
They were so poor, so incredibly poor, that their two young owners had to survive for seven years on such a meager sum of money.
Patchouli is such a naughty elf! Why didn't she come out sooner to help her two young masters manage their household affairs?
Patty took out her handkerchief and cried sadly.
With a pair of big, pitying eyes, she looked at Darren. Her poor little master could only afford such a small amount of Galleons.
When Jaime was a child, a single wizard's robe could cost several thousand Galleons to make, not to mention ordinary clothes, formal wear, shoes, and daily necessities...
A mere 300,000 Galleons will be gone in less than a year.
His two poor little masters had to use it for seven years!
Seven years! How frugal must the two young masters have been to be!
What is this concept?
This is going to break the old owner's heart!
Patty slapped her thigh in deep regret.
Darren looked at Patty in surprise.
300,000 Galleons is a small amount?
You know, when Harry was on the train, he used a Galleon to wrap up all the snacks on the train.
According to Rowling's exchange rate in 2001, one Gallon was equal to five pounds, which was equivalent to a little over seven US dollars.
The purchasing power at that time was enormous; if we were to compare it to the 2020 figures, it would probably be ten times greater.
So, how could Patchouli call someone poor when they have so many Galleons?
Even if he and Harry used it together, he felt he could live a life without making money in the wizarding world.
