After waking up, Harry gets ready for another day of getting things set up. First up, he must take a case of money and gold to the bank, so they can get started on exchanging it and putting it into my account. Once he has gotten himself and Teddy ready and fed, he unshrinks a case and gets his money bag before filling it with as much gold as possible. He puts a feather light charm on it for now, but he would take it off once he got into the office. Then he puts all the currency from other countries in a separate bag.
They head out towards the bank, with Teddy strapped to his chest in a baby sling. Harry gets a few appreciating looks from some women and even a few guys. Once he sees the bank, he starts letting the charm go, so that the weight gradually gets heavier. He didn't want to have it get all its weight released all at once.
He enters the bank and sees the manager's assistant waiting for him. She leads him into the office and Harry sits the suitcase down on Mr. Yamamoto's desk. He's surprised to see someone else with them, with a bit of equipment on a table.
"Potter-sama, this is Suzuki-san. He will be testing your gold to see how much it is worth. If you could give him a few pieces?" Harry nods and opens the case and shows them the full case. "This is a small percent of the gold I have. I figured it would be better to do it little by little."
They stare in shock at the case and Suzuki-san takes a few pieces. The first one he examines closely before biting it. Once verifying that it's real, he proceeds to drop it on a weight. "One of these pieces is 3oz, In this case it is around 400 pieces. That means a case is worth about… ¥244,622,464.80." (1)
Yamamoto-san turns to Harry and asks, "Potter-san, how many cases of gold do you have?" Harry does some quick thinking and says, "Around 21,367. I have 8,546,825 gold pieces, and if each case holds 400 pieces, yes, 21,367." Suzuki-san pulls out a calculator and quickly does the math. "That would end up being around… ¥5,226,848,205,381.60!"
Yamamoto-san faints and both Harry and Suzuki-san go to him and wake him up, making sure he doesn't hit his head on anything besides the floor. Eventually he wakes up and sits up. "What happened?" He asks. "We found out Potter-sama is the richest person in Japan." Suzuki-san says, to which Yamamoto-san gasps again and says, "And he's in my bank!" Harry and Suzuki-san help him up and he sits back in his seat.
"Potter-sama, do you have any plans on what to do with your money?" Suzuki-san asks, sounding genuinely curious. Harry thinks about it for a minute. "I want to help people. Maybe I'll open a half-house for the homeless or the poor." Yamamoto-san looks at Harry in a new light.
Teddy starts getting fussy, so Harry pulls out a bottle and without a thought warms it with his magic and starts feeding him. "Why isn't the child with his mother?" Suzuki-san asks, and Harry loses any joy in his face. "His mother died in childbirth. He isn't old enough to be left with a daycare and I don't think I would do that anyway if I could help it." Suzuki-san looks sorry that he asked and apologizes.
Yamamoto-san asks Harry for the money he needed to exchange, and after doing the math, he concludes he has ¥4,832,743 more to add to his account. "So, once you have all the gold sold, added to the amount you already have in your account, ¥15,523, all will add up to… ¥5,227,097,676,112.40." Yamamoto-san looks ready to faint again, but he calms down.
Harry leaves the gold and different currency and receives his debit card connected to his account. He starts heading to the real estate agency the lady from the hotel suggested, but before he can go far, he hears sharp gasps of pain in an alleyway. No one else would have noticed it with all the other noises going on, but the war had trained him into noticing every detail.
He cautiously heads down the alley, putting a shield around Teddy while he walks. "Hello? Are you ok?" Harry asks quietly, ready to run if he must. The voice stops breathing but Harry is quick to reassure, "Don't worry, I can help. I'm not a hero, but I'm not going to leave someone in pain." Slowly, someone shuffles out of some boxes they had hidden in. Harry gasps at the burn scars and skin grafts all over the man in front of him.
"Hello, do you need some help?" Harry asks carefully, seeing blood all over the man's shirt. "Yes." The man's raspy voice gasps out and Harry rushes into action, pulling his medical bag out. He gestures for the man to sit down and he follows Harry's directions.
"Drink this and lift up your shirt. It tastes awful, but it works wonders." Harry hands a pain potion to him and he proceeds to take cloth from his medical bag and uses his magic to wet it, cleaning the wound. It seems to be a large gash, and Harry hisses under his breath. "I can stabilize you, but to heal it completely, everything I would need is back at my hotel room. If you want, I can do what I can here, and transport you somewhere you can get home from easily. Or… if you can trust me, I can get us to my hotel room fast and heal you, but the transport will be uncomfortable."
He thinks about it and says, "I can't have this wound. It'll take too long to heal, and I need to work." Harry nods and clarifies, "To my hotel then?" He agrees and I gather everything and help him stand. "Can I have a name for my patient?" He seems to hesitate before responding, "Dabi." Harry smiles and after getting the newly named Dabi to hold onto him, apparated to Harry's room.
(1) The price of an oz of gold is $1,930.60 now. One Gallon is worth $5,791.80. 400 G's = $2,316,720. The richest person in Japan is Tadashi Yanai, who is worth $3.9 billion. Harry just totaled out his gold and other currency at around ¥5,227,097,676,112.40 which equals $49.3 billion.
~ So, Dabi makes his first appearance. Next chapter will be healing, story time, and Harry coming up with the idea of 'Villain Rehab.' ~
