I was expelled from Hogwarts? Where is my galleon in Chapter 63?
Wizards have much longer lifespans than Muggles.
Needless to say, Nick Flamel, although he has arranged his own funeral many times and although the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone has been exhausted, he is still clinging on.
Compared with the Dark Lord who claims to "conquer death", it's hard to say who will die first.
The old principal, Armando Dippet, was over 300 years old. When he was born, Chongzhen had not yet hanged himself from the old crooked neck tree in Meishan.
Farris Spavin was 109 years old when he became minister. He served for another thirty-eight years and survived several deputy ministers.
Therefore, a wizard claimed to have been born in the eighteenth century, and after experiencing the baptism of Nico's funeral, Rolf now did not even blink an eyelid.
He is only over 200 years old, what is there to make such a fuss about?
If the Big Four suddenly appeared, jumped in front of Rove, and said to him "Hey boy, we are still alive"...that would indeed be worthy of Rove's shock!
So Rolf was shocked, not by the old man's age, but by his name...Corvinus Gaunt.

As the descendants of Slytherin, the Gaunt family has the ability to speak like a snake, and is also famous in the magic world.
But after Voldemort's uncle Morfin Gaunt died in Azkaban, the wizarding world generally believed that this ancient family had become extinct... but they didn't expect that there was still a survivor.
Rolf was actually not unfamiliar with the name Corvinus Gaunt, because he had heard it mentioned by Basilisk many times.
Corvinus discovered the Chamber of Secrets earlier than Voldemort, but instead of releasing the basilisk to attack the students like Tom, he built a complex pipeline system to hide the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.
Rolf was very interested in Corvinus Gaunt, but he never expected that he would have the opportunity to meet him one day... in the Department of Mysteries!
However, even if Rolf knew that he was Corvinus Gaunt, it did not help much with this application...the application was rejected again.
The young man quickly took Shirley and the others out of the office, followed Professor McGonagall's instructions, found the exit of the Department of Mysteries, and finally returned to the hall of the Ministry of Magic smoothly.
There were people coming and going in the hall, including wizards, but the reporters had already dispersed.
Instead of going home, Rolf and the others used the Ministry of Magic's fireplace to go to Diagon Alley to buy items needed for the start of school.
There were a lot of items to buy, and it was too inefficient for them to move together. They split into two teams, and finally made an appointment to meet at the bookstore.
Hermione went to the Magical Creatures Shop. She wanted to buy an owl as a birthday present.
Tonks also followed, and with her protection, there was no problem with security.
As the two disappeared into the crowd, Shirley asked: "Where are we going next?"
"Go to Gringotts to get some money first." Rolf stretched out comfortably and joked: "If you don't get the money, I won't be able to pay your salary anymore."
Shirley blushed, looked at the crying boy, lowered her head, and whispered:
"You can owe it first...I'm not in a hurry."
"And you are such a good employee who cares about the boss?" Luo Fu smiled and said:
"Shirley, after you graduate and go to other jobs, if you encounter a shady boss, won't you be owed wages for the rest of your life?"
"I'm not afraid." The girl with the ponytail raised her head, with a very cold temperament, and said with a rare sweet smile:
"Rolf, I can always be your assistant, so that you won't run into a shady boss."
The young man flicked his fingers on Shirley's smooth forehead and threatened, "What if I become a sinister boss?"
The girl with the ponytail picked up the black box in her hand, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "Then I will take your box away to pay off the debt."
"Hey, you are already thinking about my suitcase!" Luofu pretended to be annoyed and said, "I think you are the real black-hearted one."
Shirley ran forward. After a few steps, she suddenly turned back with a smile on her face and said softly: "The evil boss and the evil employee... It's fate that we two get together."
Rolf and Shirley soon arrived at Gringotts, noisily.
In any city, banks and tobacco companies are always located in the most prime locations, and the wizarding world is no exception.
Gringotts is located in the middle of Diagon Alley. It is the oldest building in Diagon Alley, and other shops are also built around it.
The entire building is also extremely luxurious. A Byzantine-style tall building stands on the street with a large dome in the center.
The top of the vault is made of pure gold, which shines in the sun and can be seen from more than ten miles away.
Rolf and Shirley walked up the steps, and the goblin in a scarlet and gold uniform bowed and welcomed them into the hall.
The hall of Gringotts is even more luxurious, with gold-plated marble pillars supporting the dome, and the walls are covered with combination patterns made of colored glass inlaid with gems.
There were about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a row of long counters. Some used copper scales to weigh coins, some used eyepieces to examine gems, and made hasty entries in a large ledger.
Rolf took Shirley and walked towards an idle goblin. They sat on chairs. The young man took out a key from his pocket and said:
"I'm going to the treasury to get some galleons."
"No problem." After the goblin checked the key carefully, he rang the bell in front of him and whispered: "Gula will take you two to the vault."
Soon, the goblin named Gula appeared, and it led them towards a door. Outside the entrance, there were two sphinx sculptures weighing more than ten tons guarding the entrance.
Gula opened the door, revealing a narrow stone corridor, illuminated by burning torches.
The stone corridor was a steep downhill slope, with a small railway underneath. Gula whistled, and a small cart rushed towards them along the railway.
Gula sat at the front of the trolley, and Rolf and Shirley sat in the back seat. Then the trolley drove down along the railway, like a roller coaster.
But it was over after dozens of seconds, and the cart suddenly stopped in front of a small door.
"Is it over so soon?" Shirley asked. She thought it would last a few minutes.
"Because my vault is too cheap." Luo Fu whispered: "The more expensive the vault, the deeper it is."
"..."
Ulla unlocked the door, and a puff of smoke came out of the door. After the smoke cleared, a small room was revealed, with many Galleons in it.
"We need to stay inside for a while." Rolf said softly, "Can you stay outside?"
"Of course, sir." The goblin said respectfully.
Rolf and Shirley walked into the vault and closed the door again.
In fact, the boy is not here to withdraw money, but to save money.
Luofu opened his suitcase with a smile and took out a large cabinet. He patted the cabinet and said with a proud smile:
"Shirley, I took the Mayflower to the United States this time and made a lot of galleons on the way."
The boy quickly opened the cabinet door, and Shirley leaned over. After a moment, she raised her head and said with a strange expression:
"Are you sure it's this cabinet?"
Luofu looked around suspiciously and was also stunned.
