I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 408

c403 Muggle conspiracy

Granger Apartments at night.

The sudden visit of the two men surprised the Grangers.

Compared with Hermione’s love for home, the Grangers missed their daughter. You must know that since moving here, there has always been a vague sense of crisis in the subconscious, but they can’t pin it down to something specific.

Therefore, their state during this period can really be called restless, unable to eat or sleep well.

Even though Mr. Granger had resumed his old business and opened a dental clinic in a residential area, it still did not relieve these symptoms of anxiety.

Of course, if Mr. Granger had not chosen a dentist but a psychiatrist, he would have understood their current state. Psychology calls it: potential fear.

Including fear of the unknown and anxiety about losing control.

However, all this temporarily lurked after Hermione returned home.

In fact, this is easy to understand. The simplest example is that as long as the family stays together, no one will be too frightened even if there is a flood outside.

Back to business.

After learning that the two of them had not had dinner, Mrs. Granger had already run into the kitchen before Ian could come forward. What was even more rare was that Mr. Granger also entered the kitchen to help with cooking for the first time. This was an extremely rare thing in the past. .

“I think they are acting weird today.” Hermione looked at the backs of her parents and said with some confusion.

“No! They just miss you too much, and they are also afraid of the uncertainty of the future.”

After saying that, Ian crossed his legs and sunk his whole back into the soft sofa. Eleven consecutive hours of home visits made him a little tired.

To be honest, the furniture of these aristocratic men in England is really not good at all. The main thing is comfort.

“Fear of an uncertain future? Will it become unsafe here?” As she spoke, a trace of worry flashed in Hermione’s eyes.

Ian saw it and quickly explained: “It’s safe here! They are worried about your safety. You are alone outside, but they can’t help with anything. If our daughter encounters this situation…”

Before she finished speaking, Hermione had already developed empathy. After putting herself in their shoes, she quickly understood her parents’ feelings.

…

In the following time, Ian gave Hermione some common sense about psychology. Of course, this was not standard psychology, it could only be regarded as life psychology.

It is nothing more than the accumulation of life experience, observation, and practical application.

“My dear, your dinner is ready.” Mrs. Granger’s voice interrupted the chat between the two.

After Ian and Hermione looked at each other, they ran towards the restaurant quickly.

After being hungry all day, who is pretending to be reserved and who is mentally ill…

A hearty English dinner, and Mrs. Granger also thoughtfully paired it with some French dishes. It can be seen that this meal is indeed a labor of love.

Within twenty minutes, the dishes on the table were swept away like a whirlwind of remnants.

Hermione looked at the messy scene in front of her and felt a rare sense of shame. She had at least 40% of the credit for the ‘achievement’ here.

Thinking of this, Hermione immediately took out her wand: “Clean it up!”

Looking at the clean tableware, the two looked at each other and smiled.

After dinner, the family did not get up and leave, but continued to sit in the restaurant and chat. Although it was only half a year, to the Grangers, it seemed like a long time had passed.

…

Mr. Granger spoke passionately about his experiences during this period, and when he mentioned some interesting things, he made everyone laugh.

However, during Mr. Granger’s narration, Ian also discovered an interesting phenomenon, and immediately asked:

“Uncle Granger, so you haven’t made any money during this time?”

Facing Ian’s question, Mr. Granger waved his hand indifferently and said:

“You can’t say that. The essence of currency is credit value. Even though they are just issuing some simple bills now, these things can be exchanged at equal value after the financial system is complete.”

“They don’t pay for medical treatment?” Hermione asked belatedly.

“It’s not like that. The main reason is that everyone has no money now!” Mr. Granger said nonchalantly.

“The former Chancellor of Finance lives above our house. I heard from him that there is a problem with the wizards. The financial rights have not been handed over yet, so we can only use this kind of note as a temporary currency.”

To highlight the authenticity, Mr. Granger casually took out a small stack of bills from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Ian also curiously picked up one and looked at it. The exquisite workmanship and quality of the paper were no less than the original pound, or even worse.

The piece in his hand is entirely light blue, with a soaring dragon printed in the middle. Below the dragon is clearly printed a line of words: One Sickle (Payable on demand)

Ian is also inexplicably familiar with this operating mode, it is exactly like the ‘Golden Dollar Coupon’ of the past.

The font on the bill is also more contemporary: Yixi Ke (pay with the bill)

However, Ian knew very well that there was no comparison between the two. The former was just for making money, while the note in his hand was endorsed by the Ministry of Magic.

Because the note not only has the Queen’s seal, but also Fudge’s signature.

The combination of the two factors has ensured the credit value of the note. It is no wonder that Mr. Granger is not interested in this.

“This reminds me of Churchill!” Ian put down the note in his hand and sighed: “I don’t understand finance and can’t trade stocks, but I can still be a good minister of finance.”

Don’t the Muggle executives have any galleons in reserve? Maybe it didn’t happen before, but how could it not happen now, but bills were still issued.

This seemingly unnecessary method is actually subtly replacing Gringotts.

As long as this kind of banknotes are circulated in the ecological city, its value will be recognized accordingly. After all, Muggle-born wizards are always greater than pure-bloods.

Over time, a credit currency system will be established, and the new “Gringotts” will also be controlled by Muggles, provided that the purebloods will not discover the clues in advance.

Of course, even if it is discovered, it cannot be stopped. After all, this thing is circulated in the ecological city, and it will not harm the interests of pure blood in the short term.

Even if the purebloods were to object, it would be simple. Whoever objects would provide Galleons of equal value to replace the banknotes.

This kind of upright conspiracy is always the most unsolvable.

Back to business.

Regarding Ian’s words, Mr. Granger also strongly agreed, saying: “Always being controlled by others will cause big problems. Only by mutual checks and balances can we develop smoothly.”

Hearing this, Ian also understood clearly. It was obvious that Mr. Granger also saw the problem, so he spared no effort to support these banknotes.

“This has just begun, and signs of conflict have already emerged.” Ian thought to himself.

But there is nothing he can do about this kind of thing. As Mr. Granger said, mutual checks and balances are the best way.
