> "What did your grandfather give you? It might be wizarding money, and if
not, of course. I still have all the tip money that i didn't spend at Diagon
Alley, I think about 2 and a half galleons." He pulled the money out of his
pocket, and started to count it, then took another swig from his bottle.
