I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 415
c410 Gringotts stolen, reputation in crisis
“I admit it’s not a trivial matter, but you still surprised me by making a special trip.”
While speaking, Grindelwald picked up the banknotes on the table, put them in his hands and played with them.
Seeing the old god’s presence, Ian also felt a little annoyed, but he quickly suppressed it. It was not worth it to argue with Grindelwald over this matter.
But Ian also planned not to spoil the other party, and Grindelwald was not favored by Dumbledore. Besides, when everyone has the same strength, there really is no such thing as giving way to anyone.
Ian also immediately smiled and said: “It seems that my worries are unnecessary. You should have a better solution.”
Perhaps sensing a trace of annoyance in his words, Grindelwald didn’t hold back after hearing this.
“It’s not that there is a better way, but I understand the greed of human nature. Whether they are Muggles or wizards, they will take risks for the sake of profit, and they will also maintain stability for the sake of profit.”
Speaking of this, Grindelwald spread out the banknotes in his hand and sighed: “Look, what a beautiful piece of paper… In order for it to realize its value, no one will choose to turn over the table. You can rest assured about this.” ! And I won’t allow them to flip the table.”
Ian admitted that this wave was indeed tricked by Grindelwald.
In the calmest tone, he made the most domineering declaration…as if Muggles and wizards were swallow-tailed dogs that couldn’t make any waves in his eyes.
But I have to admit that Grindelwald’s words do make sense. In the face of huge interests, the first thing people think of is how to get a piece of the pie, instead of sprinkling rat droppings into the pot.
“I don’t have much desire. I just want to live a peaceful life with the person I love, and I will give everything for this.”
Ian also expressed his inner appeal. This was the first time he told others his thoughts.
…
Just as Ian was talking to Grindelwald, on the other side of the ocean, there was the village of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, England.
In the Burrow, a crooked house, Harry also fell into deep thought.
There was a copy of the Daily Prophet spread out in front of him, along with the concerned eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
As a long-established state media, the Daily Prophet has already had an emergency plan to deal with emergencies.
Just like now… the celebrity gossip that was the front page headline just a moment ago has transformed into another breaking headline in a matter of seconds.
“Shocked! Gringotts has encountered the biggest crisis of trust in its history!”
As if it wasn’t satisfying enough, the second page, the third page… the successive contents were all transformed into reports on Gringotts.
“Five years ago, Gringotts was broken into by an unknown wizard. At that time, it was difficult for people to believe that Gringotts would be the safest wizard bank. Although the Gringotts goblins unanimously claimed that nothing was lost…”
“…A major mistake by the Gringotts branch in England! Many vaults were stolen as a result. While we were shocked, we couldn’t help but wonder whether the goblins would continue to repeat their old tune and claim that nothing was lost…”
“Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reports for you that an anonymous wizard told the author that all the damaged vaults belonged to declining pure-blood families. What does this mean? I believe everyone can make their own judgment… …”
After several consecutive pages of reports, at the end of the same article, the Daily Prophet thoughtfully published more than twenty warehouses that had been looted.
It is worth mentioning that the Potter family ranks first on the list.
“Harry, don’t worry. The goblins must be responsible for this, and it will not go unnoticed.” Arthur reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder.
Compared to Arthur’s calmness, his wife Molly seemed much more emotional. This fat middle-aged woman first gave Harry a hug and then comforted:
“My dear, no one can ignore your loss. For such a big matter, Professor Dumbledore will also come forward. We just need to wait quietly for the news.”
Facing the comfort from his friend’s parents, Harry just nodded mechanically.
Even now, his mind is still confused. His family’s treasury was inexplicably ransacked…
Although he didn’t want to admit it, Harry knew that the inheritance left to him by his parents, a huge mountain of galleons, had always been the foundation of his life.
It was also the reason why he didn’t want to go to that ecological city to visit his aunt’s family during the summer vacation.
Subconsciously, that pile of Galleons has become the foundation for his future settlement. But today… the treasury was stolen, and his livelihood was gone.
Seeing Harry’s state, Arthur and his wife looked at each other and said:
“I will go to the ministry now to inquire about the information. This is not a problem between one family and two families. A total of twenty vaults were stolen. The goblins must come up with an explanation.”
After saying that, Arthur picked up the coat on the back of the chair and walked towards the door. As he walked, he did not forget to tell Harry: “Harry, just wait for my news, I won’t want you for long.” You will receive a compensation notice.”
Although he was confident in his words, Arthur was unsure in his heart.
He had also been vaguely aware of the ministry’s plan to attack Gringotts, and thought it had little to do with him. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the entire Weasley family’s treasury did not add up to a single galleon.
But what surprised him was that this group of people actually chose the Potter family as their target.
“What a bunch of ungrateful guys. Only a few years have passed since the sacrifice of the Potters…”
Outside the door, Arthur cursed secretly, and then walked towards the old Ford car beside him.
…
On the other side, the moment George and Fred saw the newspaper, they both saw a hint of happiness and fear in each other’s eyes.
If it weren’t for Ian’s reminder, the first thing the two of them wanted to do after receiving the blind box sales dividend was to open a vault of their own in Gringotts and deposit all the mountains of Galleons in it.
It was also a good thing that Harry was there, otherwise George and Fred would have been unable to hold back and high-five each other for their wise actions.
There was no unnecessary communication. At this moment, the twins also quietly exited the living room with a tacit understanding and walked to the yard outside in a familiar way.
In this atmosphere, they planned to dig out the Galleons they had buried in the yard and carefully check and count them.
The content of today’s Daily Prophet frightened George and Fred. At the same time, they also thought that burying Galleons in their own yard might not be a wise choice.
Of course, if Ian were here, he would definitely tell them both that this worry was purely unnecessary. With the Burrow guarded by Molly, few people would dare to have an idea here.
In the courtyard.
George held the hoe in both hands and dug into the soil while thinking about where to transfer the money next.
After a while, he couldn’t help but sigh: “It would be great if there was a safe bank…”
Hearing George’s sigh, Fred became relatively calm, “Brother, don’t we look a little stupid for doing this? Gringotts was stolen, and we dug up our own yard?”
Hearing this, George raised his head suddenly, and after a while… the two of them laughed at the same time.
“Stop talking! Bury them and let’s go back.”
