5 Diagon Alley I

Jack was now 8 years old it has been a week since his birthday. He was ready to go to the Diagon alley, the suit was ready he was able to demonstrate as an adult in his mid 30's the body built and in the suit he was able to control the suit like moving legs and hands with the magic.

He was able to sustain the whole movement and the illusion on the suit for a max of 40 minutes after that he will not able to move the suit and keep the illusion together as his body built took a toll to move the suit without magic.

He borrowed his father's cloak to cover his whole body except the face even if someone touches him they will not able to till the metal part of the body as his illusion was just like an aura around the suit only to deceive the eyes.

Jack was at the entrance of the pub the leaky cauldron, He went inside the pub it was like a tavern from video games a barkeeper as the host and all. many people stared at him at first but ignore him he directly went at the back as many people were going there he anticipated that they were going to the alley he fallowed them and they were indeed going to the alley he just tagged along with them.

Jack was standing at the entrance to the diagon alley his mouth was wide open and the expression on his face was priceless, as he was inside the suit /illusion no one discovered him he walked along the road viewing the shops left and right one thing come to his mind that it was magnificent and fascinating no words can explain the view and the ambiance he was seeing.

He saw the biggest building along the road and he knew that it was the Gringotts bank, he did not have magic money/coins the currency in the magical world. he had pounds, the currency of muggle world he has almost 14000 pounds, it was a large sum from someone from his age to have this much

The money he earned was due to gambling his saved pocket money up to 200 pounds he used his 200 pounds to earn 1000 pounds first, he went to the casinos and earned using his suit/illusion not soo much at a single casino he went 5 casino's to earn up to 14000 pounds.

He was at Gringotts it was an imposing snow-white multistoried marble building. he went along the stairs and arrived at the entrance there was a set of burnished bronze doors, The doors are flanked by a goblin in a uniform of scarlet and gold. it was the first time seeing a goblin they are short and fair-skinned, he went along the corridor there was engraved writing as he passed through the doors.

Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn.

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there.

There were many goblins seated along with the tables in order and the head like manager sat in between on large pedestrial like shown in movies. there was information like modern times their respected work like there was column like "Exchange currency".

He went to that area there was a goblin there and there was a board displaying the current exchange ratio. and the magical world currency like basic information I guess it was meant for muggle-born and their parents to know and the exchange ratio.

to sum it up it was formation like there were three different coins; in decreasing order of value, they are Galleon, Sickle and Knut. They are gold, silver, and bronze, respectively. There are 17 Sickles in a Galleon, and 29 Knuts in a Sickle, meaning there are 493 Knuts to a Galleon. Around the edge of each coin is a series of numerals which represent a serial number belonging to the Goblin that cast the coin.

The exchange ratio was 1 Galleon= 4.5 pound, it looked like the ratio will keep changing, he calculated mentally about how much to covert he went to the goblin and he said: "Hello I would like to exchange 14000 pounds plus an enchanted bag for the money". the goblin looked to me and replied "money please". He guessed they were direct people, not pleasantries just business to them and gold.

Jack removed 14000 pounds from His robe and gave it to the goblin, the goblin checked the money and gave him the pouch He assumed that it contained the money, so he used in magic to sense and he got roughly 3000 galleon plus some sickles and knuts he assumed that goblin charged him with the bag and left by saying Thank you.

He did not want to interact with the people in fact anyone in his suit/illusion.

(The illusion here worked on the goblins illusion detector as jack unconsciously used another power or added that power in the illusion which was described in chapter 7)
