Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 732

c73 Empty

The three of them, Harry, took advantage of the darkness and walked out of Black Mansion and left Grimmauld Place.

Their destination was Gringotts.

“Will there be Death Eater guards there?”

Ron asked casually before the three of them disapparated.

When the Apparition ended, they were standing on a street.

Across the street is the Leaky Cauldron.

“I wish we could live in the Leaky Cauldron.”

Ron sighed carelessly.

Hermione shook her head, turned and walked towards the other side of the street: “It’s full of Death Eaters now. Let’s go to a Muggle hotel.”

Ron was not surprised at all. The three of them walked around the corner together and found a small Muggle hotel in an alley.

They spent the night here.

The three people went up to the second floor and looked at the Leaky Cauldron through the window in the room.

“I wonder if the twins’ store is still open…”

Ron said casually, then shook his head: “Will we not be able to enter Diagon Alley at all?”

Hermione shook her head: “To Death Eaters, Diagon Alley is a place of little value now. The only store that is still open is probably Gringotts.”

Harry glanced at Ron.

He completely understood Ron’s concerns.

The twins are a thorn in the side of the Death Eaters. If they insist on opening a shop in Diagon Alley, they will definitely run into a lot of trouble.

“Go to bed early, there may be a lot of fighting tomorrow.”

Harry said something and then pushed Ron into his room.

But the next day, contrary to the three people’s expectations, they did not encounter a fight.

The three Harrys carefully put on the hoods that covered their faces and walked into Diagon Alley through the Leaky Cauldron.

Every store they saw was closed.

Including the Leaky Cauldron.

It’s just that some shops are completely dilapidated and abandoned, and the owner of the Leaky Cauldron has disappeared and is occupied by the Death Eaters gathered here: Although it is impossible for them to get drinks here, the Death Eaters still feel There’s a bit more atmosphere here.

However, these Death Eaters were not loyal and fanatical at all. They only thought about the wizards fighting for Voldemort every day. They were just killing time here, and even saw the three Harrys passing by without paying attention or turning a blind eye.

Although the three people under the hood were a little nervous, no Death Eaters noticed them until they walked through the bar and into Diagon Alley, and there were even Death Eaters among them who raised their glasses to them.

When we arrived in Diagon Alley, there were far fewer Death Eaters. There were only two or three people on the street, and they were walking in such a hurry that they didn’t even look at the three of them.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

They walked across the street towards Gringotts.

When passing the entrance of Knockturn Alley, Harry glanced inside curiously, only to find that Knockturn Alley was as dilapidated as Diagon Alley, and all the shops were closed.

Although Harry was very surprised, he said nothing for safety reasons.

Then they passed the twins’ magic shop, which was also closed. Judging from the dust on the window sill at the door, it must have been closed a long time ago.

Ron looked at the store through the window with a complicated expression. The shelves there were empty. It seemed that the twins had not had time to take away all the goods before they left, or that someone else had rushed in and stolen all the goods that they had not had time to take away. commodity.

Harry glanced at Ron carefully, and then pulled him away from here. Although there were no Death Eaters on guard here, they still had business to do.

The three of them walked into Gringotts together.

Compared with other shops on the street, Gringotts is still clean and tidy, but this is already the limit. There are also no customers here, and it is empty. Even the goblins who always looked aloof and above the counter are exposed behind the counter. A worried look.

The three of them carefully walked to the counter and looked around again.

There weren’t any wizards here, no Death Eaters would find them.

So Harry took out his treasure house key.

The goblin behind the counter looked surprised when he saw the key.

Of course they knew each other, this was the key to the Potter family, which meant that the person in front of them was Harry Potter.

The goblin stared at Harry’s face hidden in the shadows and fell into a long silence.

At the same time, the three Harrys had raised their wands under their cloaks, ready to start fighting at any time.

Goblins are followers of Voldemort, it’s enough to know that.

Time passed slowly, and the entire hall seemed to be frozen in deathly silence.

Finally, the goblin nodded to Harry: “Please wait here.”

After saying that, he reached out and took the key, then turned and left.

The three Harrys stood there, feeling uneasy and hesitant.

They weren’t sure what the goblin was going to do when he left.

Harry asked Hermione in a low voice: “Have they gone to call the Death Eaters?”

Hermione was silent for a moment, then shook her head: “It’s also possible that they went to check it and asked a goblin to come and take you to the vault.”

Harry fell silent.

In fact, he also knew that it was probably half and half that the goblin was going to betray them now, but Harry just couldn’t help but want to ask.

Silence returned to Gringotts, and the spacious and bright hall became restless.

Harry and the three of them lived like a year.

But eventually, the leprechaun returns.

Behind him was a goblin, and Harry was surprised to find that he recognized it. It was the goblin Griphook that Harry had seen when he first came here with Hagrid.

“Hello Mr. Potter, I will take you to your vault now.”

Harry nodded.

The first step in the plan was successful.

They entered Gringotts safely and were not surrounded by Death Eaters.

But Harry calmed down immediately, because there was another possibility, that is, the goblins had secretly told the Death Eaters of their arrival, and were now just stalling for time.

Of course, the goblin Griphook was completely unaware of the complicated thoughts of the three Harrys. He took the three Harrys on the mine cart and rushed towards the abyss.

The three of them, Harry, were squeezed together. They had all ridden in a mine cart before, but this time it felt particularly exciting.

Eventually, the minecart came to a stop on the edge of the cliff.

Griphook took Harry and the three of them out of the mine cart, came to the vault door, and opened the door.

Harry took the key from Griphook and walked into the vault alone.

Hermione and Ron stayed outside with the goblins.

When Harry’s back disappeared into the darkness, Hermione took off her hood.

“Hello, Mr. Goblin…”
