I own none of the Characters in JKRolling's Harry Potter
Harry & Hermione are a bit OC but who cares this is Fanfiction :D
Gold in Galleons
Harry clambered through the portrait to the Gryffindor common room and quickly walked to Hermione by the fire place.
"Hermione Come with me!"
"Wha… Harry? Go with you where?" Hermione questioned.
"No time, just follow me" Harry said dragging her out of the common room and along the corridor until they reached an empty classroom. Harry through up a dozen privacy charms and wards, before turning to speak to the puzzled girl.
Harry held up a Galleon and said "How much gold is in a galleon? What are the exchange rates between Pounds to Galleons?"
Hermione looked at Harry clearly confused before answering "Well the entire Galleon is pure gold, which is roughly 65-70 grams or so. The exchange rate when my parents first did it was £5.87 to a Galleon, now Harry will you please explain what's going on?"
"Hermione I think we should run away from Britain's Magic world and go to somewhere like the south of France or Italy and hire tutor's for our education, we'll leave the assholes here to deal with the shit they created!"
"Harry what's the gold in galleons got to do with leaving this shithole!"
"Well Hermione I researched what gold is worth per gram in the Muggle world, its £24.88 so 70 grams is about £1740! And that's just one Galleon, my trust vault alone has 10,000 Galleons, I calculated that in pounds that's £17,400,000!" Exclaimed Harry.
Hermione looked at harry with wide eyes and gapping mouth before swallowing and said "Let's do it!"
6 months later
Harry was reclining in a deck chair on a balcony overlooking a French beach; Hermione was lying close by in a bikini on a sun bed. In their escape from Britain they brought Luna with them who was currently lying beside Hermione reading a book in the same attire as her. A Month later Sirius had snuck out Britain on Buckbeak and was now living in the same town as them, the French ministry cleared him of all charges. Hermione's parents created a new dental practice here 3 weeks after Sirius arrived. Luna's father still lives in Britain but visits every weekend with updates on what's been happening.
Magical Britain is in a world of shit as Voldemort tried to attack them 3 months ago on French soil, and now the rest of Europe are dealing with Britain's stagnant problem, Dumbledore is in deep shit for not informing the International Confederation of Wizards about Britain's massive decline in not only education but also not moving Britain towards the 21st century. Most muggleborns have been leaving for American or other countries for the last 50 years, so much so that the population of wizarding Britain has reduced from 112,000 in 1936 to 52,000 in 1996 this year. The rest of Europe found these figures appalling and now purebloods are losing all their traditions and inherited titles; Voldemort has been labelled a terrorist and is currently being hunted by the International Hit wizards and Aurors association.
But none of this mattered to harry and the girls, the future for them was looking good and all because Britain is too stupid to use pure gold in their Galleons.
There you go my opinon on Galleons. :D
