Chapter 30: Life in Part-Time Job

I find part-time work boring because I have to be patient and point out the low-level mistakes made by many goblins. I also have to try not to embezzle myself, as the concept of finance in this group of goblins is too primitive.

It makes him feel that it's a breeze to try something extra.

He even wondered if he could bring Draco's in a few strong men from Wall Street and control the entire wizarding economy with just a few people, to applause.

Of course, he wouldn't do it.

First, he doesn't lack money. Second, smart people tend to pay the price. When the goblins and wizards realize something is wrong, they might be the first ones to flip the table.

Then the arrested person would be arrested for the crime of "undermining the financial security of the wizarding world."

Even this charge was probably established by Arthur Weasley, using some Muggle knowledge he learned.

Wizards may not be very smart, but they're not stupid.

But these aren't the reasons for Draco's frustration. What really frustrates him is that this is indeed the safest place in the wizarding world, except for Hogwarts.

At least for him now, he has no choice. Quirrell had some idea of Voldemort before he dared to break in here.

The property of ordinary users can be obtained by opening the vault door with a small gold key, and the more important vaults are also guarded by dragons.

Several times, Draco took advantage of his free time at work and visited some important vaults in a small cart. He could even hear the dragon's heavy sniffing.

As for some vaults without keyholes, it's even harder to get in.

That requires the goblins to knock on the door with their long fingers so that the door will open a little, but otherwise people will be sucked in, with only two results: starvation or suffocation, because the interval between goblin checks is every ten years.

If Draco wants to mix in, he has to admit that compound decoction is indeed the most feasible way.

But someone is still in Azkaban, and a wanted criminal comes to the bank to withdraw money? Maybe this can make headlines in the Daily Prophet?

In addition, after entering, the Fire Charm and the Copy Charm are also a big problem.

In desperation, Draco can only dispel this idea and complete his accounting work with peace of mind.

"But it's not bad, is it?" he comforted himself.

Due to the large number of mistakes he discovered, the Gringotts issued a generous bonus before he left the office.

Mr. Grip said before his departure: "Although your father will definitely not agree, we still welcome you to work here after graduation."

"I'll think about it," Draco said as he set off. He then left the bank and headed home through the flyway network, because school was about to start.

As for Mr. Grip's suggestion, he definitely wouldn't consider it. Is it possible to put a lot of family property instead of inheritance and choose to be a wage earner?

"Oh, I almost forgot about Gifts!" Draco, who was about to go home through the flyway network, suddenly remembered this and turned and headed back to the various shops on Diagonal Alley.

As he walked through several shops, he didn't find much, but when he reached the Quidditch boutique, he found something that interested him: a Golden Snitch.

Draco stands in front of a glass cabinet in a Quidditch store, looking at a damaged Golden Snitch.

The metal ball, the size of a walnut, has its wings pressed against its body, making it appear inactive. A label on the cabinet reads: "A very meaningful collection, this is the Golden Snitch from the final match between Transylvania and Flanders. However, the competition between the two teams was so fierce that the Golden Snitch was irreparably damaged at the end of the game, priced at five hundred gold gallons."

Draco knocks on the glass and says, "So it's bad to say that this Golden Snitch can't fly?"

The clerk, noticing the potential sale, approaches Draco.

"Oh, sir, you can't think of it that way. The focus of this collection is its historical value, not its use value. You must know that both Transylvania and Flanders are extremely long-established Quidditch teams. In a game between them..." The clerk begins to discuss the history of the Golden Snitch, hoping to pique Draco's interest.

Draco shakes his head and says, "It's a pity that it's bad. I'll buy a broom instead, at least it will work."

The clerk becomes anxious. "Sir, please think about it again. In fact, this golden snitch has been here for a long time. If we can't sell it, it will be smashed in the store. If we can sell it, the boss will surely take a look at himself. We can discuss the price, dear customer."

It is unknown how much gold Draco used to buy the Golden Snitch. But that night, almost everyone in Diagon Alley heard the manager of the Quidditch boutique growling in anger.

Draco, not forgetting his friends and Lucius and Narcissa, brings them a gift of a tie and some cosmetics.

He looks at the pile of items in his hand and decides that he needs to go to the Lizhen bookstore earlier, as the number of people there is increasing.

He returns home using a transportation method that makes him feel dizzy and both love and hate it.

When he enters his room, he finds a letter from Pansy lying on the table. Pansy writes that she cannot follow their agreement to meet in Diagonal Alley and buy books because there is a problem with the transportation network.

The traffic is completely paralyzed and the French Ministry of Magic is surprisingly slow. The Pansy family is stuck in France.

Pansy writes at the end of the letter, "Maybe I will be late this semester, maybe."

Draco writes some comforting words on an owl's legs and sends it as a reply, but he has no solution to the transportation problem.

Most wizards have not yet adapted to Muggle transportation, except for the Weasleys.

As for the phantom shift, it would likely be a large workload to transport someone from one country to another, so the only option is to wait.
