Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 730
c71 treasure house
The three of them took a moment to calm down.
Then they began to wonder what else Ollivander could tell them now.
The Elder Wand is a terrifying weapon that can defeat any wizard in the story, and now that thing is in Voldemort’s hands.
Ollivander is the only heir to a long-established family of wand craftsmen. Of course he knows many secrets, and this is why Voldemort caught him.
But Ollivander probably knows very little about other Horcruxes and other Deathly Hallows.
But Harry still asked in the hope of success: “Did the mysterious man say anything else worth noting, Mr. Ollivander?”
Ollivander looked pained. He obviously didn’t want to recall anything that happened in the dungeon of Malfoy Manor, but after all, three Harrys rescued him: and if he didn’t want to be torn apart by Death Eaters now, he would I can only live in Black’s house temporarily.
“If I must say… You-Know-Who recently opened a vault for himself in Gringotts.”
Harry and the three of them looked surprised.
Simply put, Voldemort didn’t need Gringotts.
When Voldemort was powerful before, he was the leader of the Death Eaters, and the Death Eaters were the heirs of pure-blood families, and the issue of “money” was almost never brought up between them.
Because it’s not necessary.
For Voldemort, everything in the world is at his fingertips, and money means nothing to him.
Now that Voldemort has made a comeback after a failure, this matter will still not change. Voldemort really opened a vault in Gringotts, and it was definitely not to save money.
“He wants to hide something!”
Harry almost jumped.
This seemed to be destined luck. If Voldemort did something, it would be known to others, but by coincidence, the news was leaked much earlier than it should have been.
Hermione was probably the only one who could still maintain her composure, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still felt that this matter should be true.
For a simple reason, Voldemort never thought that Ollivander would make it out of the dungeons of Malfoy Manor alive.
Therefore, there was no need for him to deceive Ollivander, and therefore there was no need for Ollivander to deceive Harry and the other three.
“The question is to whom did Voldemort give the key?”
Harry was already preparing to steal something from Gringotts.
Hermione shook her head helplessly: “Harry, we need to think about this matter carefully.”
Harry glanced at Hermione a little surprised, then nodded.
The three of them arrived in another room, and then began to think carefully about how to steal things from Gringotts.
“Taking things out of Gringotts requires the owner of the vault or the key to the vault. Goblins have countless special spells. Gringotts is absolutely safe.”
Hermione looked worried. She was very afraid that Harry and Ron would rush into Gringotts without any care, and they would definitely be in big trouble.
“And I’m afraid the mysterious man will cast other spells on his own vault. Do you still remember the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?”
Harry and Ron.
“There is also the curse of not being able to say that name. I have no idea how Voldemort did it.”
Hermione sighed: “But I’m afraid Voldemort will put at least one Horcrux in there… After all, we all know that it is an absolutely safe place.”
Harry raised his head and thought for a moment: “Is there any…”
He himself stopped talking mid-sentence.
Because Harry himself knew very well that that was impossible.
There was no way in the world to sneak into Gringotts and steal the contents of Voldemort’s vault.
…
“So the goblin is regretting it now?”
Lu Ke looked at Johanna with a smile on his face.
Johanna shook her head: “It would be better to say that they never really liked Voldemort from the beginning.”
It is actually a non-existent thing that goblins obey Death Eaters. The real reality is that goblins obey the Ministry of Magic.
Even so, in the eyes of the goblins, they and the Ministry of Magic have always had an equal covenant, and no one obeys anyone.
Few people know that the last time Voldemort launched a war, Gringotts chose neutrality.
The Ministry of Magic once thought about asking the goblins to help, but the goblins refused. They did not fall to Voldemort, but they definitely did not become enemies of the Death Eaters.
So when Voldemort really took control of the Ministry of Magic this time, in the eyes of the Death Eaters, the obedience of the goblins was taken for granted.
But the goblins chose to refuse.
“They replied to the mysterious man that goblins would never be enemies of Death Eaters.”
Johanna had a mocking smile on her face.
Lu Ke couldn’t help but laugh.
This is indeed a good joke.
Perhaps in the eyes of the goblins, their words were “courteous” and “neither humble nor arrogant”, but in the eyes of Voldemort, they were simply provocations that were reckless.
When the mysterious man took control of the Ministry of Magic, possessed the Elder Wand, and seriously injured Lu Ke, he no longer allowed anyone to bow to him.
“How many goblins died?”
Johanna smiled happily: “Three.”
Lu Ke raised his head: “This is an opportunity.”
Johanna nodded.
The goblins’ pride is almost as strong as Voldemort’s ambition. It is absolutely impossible for them to accept Voldemort’s dominance without resisting at all. But now Voldemort regards Gringotts as an important tool.
“But do you really think the mysterious man will hand over the important Horcrux to Gringotts?”
Lu Ke shook his head.
In fact, as far as he knew, even though Voldemort chose something related to Gringotts as a Horcrux, he still kept the Horcrux in his hands.
Voldemort clearly didn’t believe in goblins.
Still, this is an important opportunity.
Using the goblin’s resentment may be a powerful helper, and Voldemort’s current behavior has almost completely returned to the madness before being cured by the rune snake, and it is very likely that he will start an all-out war with the goblin.
No matter which side is completely destroyed or even both sides suffer losses, it is absolutely good news for Lu Ke and the others.
“We need a smarter plan.”
Johanna nodded: “Of course I will help you, but you’d better plan smarter.”
“Elves are shrewd and cold, always loyal to their race, but they are very cold towards each other and never act emotionally.”
Lu Ke couldn’t help but laugh: “It sounds like a description of Muggles.”
Johanna shook her head: “They also master many special and powerful magic spells. They are the most powerful alchemist alliance in the world and the custodians of many ancient treasures.”
“I heard there’s even a dragon inside Gringotts.”
