Chapter 949─=≡Σ((( つ·?ω·?) Gringotts and the Goblet of Fire

‘I’m really sorry, dear little guest, we really don’t have the kind of delicious magical animals you need here in our shop, they are not delicious at all, and you can’t eat them…’

'There is no fire dragon you need! '

'Perhaps you could go to the 'Eila Owl Shop' and see the owls they sell? '

In the Magical Zoo in Diagon Alley, in the store with the name 'MagicalMenagerie' on the signboard, a female boss wearing thick black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose was carefully putting this in her trembling tone. Picking and picking in the pet shop, the little girl who was still muttering "this is not delicious" and "that is too ugly must not be delicious" was invited out to the street, and then pointed at the competition in the distance Opponent 'Yila Owl Shop' in the direction and encouraged Road.

If this little girl is bought as a pet, she is of course welcome, after all, she will not make things difficult for Jin Jialong, will she?

However, after knowing that the other party actually wanted magical animals to buy and eat, not only was she frightened, but even the pets in her shop, those owls, toads, mice, cats and snakes, etc. were also frightened crazy and started to make a fuss... So, as a last resort, she had to be 'friendly' and said that she came here two years ago and bought the phoenix egg from her house, and now she comes again, and she still wants to buy a fire dragon The scary little girl gave the gift out of the door of her small shop.

You know, she, the boss, has quit for two years, and she will never do the shameful business of selling fire dragons again. No matter what the other party says, no matter how much money she pays, she is really Can't come up with any 'Fire Dragon'!

"But……"

(lll￢ω￢)

"The Scottish round-faced fat chickens are too thin. Although they are big, they are much worse than chickens after plucking, and the broken hairs are not easy to pluck. The meat is too old. OK, but the meat isn't very tasty..."

(ノへ￣,)

For little Annie, who loves meat and dislikes, the owl is obviously not the object she is willing to try again, so the suggestion given to her by the proprietress of the magical animal store will definitely not be adopted.

Anyway,

Two days ago, when little Annie quietly went to visit her unicorn friend Anna in the Forbidden Forest, she once captured a wild owl... But unfortunately, its meat is really not tasty, Chai Chai, except for the meat on the thigh that is hard to tear off, the whole body is full of hard bones, not easy to chew at all!

And if it's really delicious, there are so many owls in the owl shed in the school, and that beautiful big white bird named Harry with glasses, I'm afraid they would have been included in her diet long ago Yes, why would you need to come to Diagon Alley to buy?

Speaking of which, she has long been unhappy with those big birds who don't sleep in the middle of the night, always like to be nocturnal, fly and scream above the castle, and always shit on the balcony outside her room for a long time of!

'! ! '

Obviously, the little girl's words startled the lady proprietress of the magical animal shop, because she could hear that this little guy seemed to have eaten an owl?

"In short, my little guest, we really don't have the 'delicious magical animal' you need here, so please, please go to another place to have a look?"

"Maybe, you will have unexpected discoveries elsewhere?!"

After finishing speaking, the female boss wearing thick black-rimmed glasses hurriedly turned around and ran to her shop, and immediately locked the glass door behind her, and hurriedly hung up the notice board saying 'Closed Business'.

Because now, she is going to appease the magical animals in her shop, otherwise, if the animals are allowed to make trouble, I am afraid that her business will not have to continue! After all, the magical animals in her shop are all very smart, and she doesn't want to give them a bad impression of selling them for meat,

Then it caused other customers to make noise and fear when they came to choose and affect her business?

"Really, if you don't have it, you don't have it, so why are you so fierce?!"

o(??^｀)o hum!

Little Annie was not annoyed at being rejected by the other party, anyway, there were indeed no magical animals that she liked and thought might be delicious, so she simply turned her head and left.

"..."

(?????????????)

After finding that kind of super-delicious little animal in the store without the other party, and being driven away by the owner, and leaving the gate of the 'Wonderful Zoo' store with some shame and anger, little Annie began to wander in Diagon Alley up.

"Forget it, I don't know as much as her, why don't you go get some money now?"

o(??▽｀)o=3=3=3

Then, she felt that she needed to buy a few new large crucibles and bought a lot of them suitable for stewing soup... Oh, no, she should be suitable for stewing 'potion' raw materials, so she made an impromptu decision: go to that Gringotts A trip, and take away the rest of the huge amount of indemnity that she temporarily stored in it before?

After all, now, the nasty Professor Snape in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the stingy Professor Pomona Sprout who is in charge of teaching herbalism and cultivating herbs are keeping her Professor Annie like thieves Understand! So, there is no other way, besides deciding to spend money to buy what she needs and squandering it, she really has no other better choice.

but……

Annie still thinks that those guys are just being stingy, why those other professors can apply for and consume the materials and small animals in the school, and she, Professor Annie, only used it for a few days, and they kept stopping her ? Then it must be treated differently, it must be because of stinginess, right?

(lll￢ω￢)

But yesterday, she heard that the gatekeeper next to the Forbidden Forest, the Hogwarts gamekeeper and keykeeper Hagrid, told her sincerely... It is said that there are some in the Forbidden Forest. You can buy it in Knockback Alley, but if you don’t have it in the Forbidden Forest, you can also buy it in Knockback Alley?

(??????﹃??`??)

So, she decided to avoid going to the Forbidden Forest to harm those small animals in the future, or is it better to just spend money to buy them? And if it was bought with Gold Gallon, surely no one would make irresponsible remarks about her, or criticize her for eating magical animals, right?

(…)

(●￣(??)￣●)

(Tibbers doesn't want to comment on a unicorn with a good relationship and a centaur with a "human" character. Fortunately, there are half-human centaurs who don't eat it. Others around Hogwarts, especially the forbidden Those magical animals that looked 'delicious' in the forest were almost all poisoned, and let her eat them all over, my poor little master!)

"Um……"

(ー`?? ー)

To put it bluntly, Diagon Alley in the wizarding world is just a pedestrian street that is not too long. Therefore, the towering and conspicuous white building at the junction of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, and the ancient spirit that is almost in the middle of Diagon Alley Court Bank, arrived after Little Annie hadn't been shopping for a long time.

"Um……"

"Tibbers, it should be here, right? We haven't been back for a long time. It's a bit of a nostalgia. I didn't expect it to be the same as before. Even the burnt marks we had at that time are gone... ..."

o(??????????)o??

Looking at the shiny bronze gate in front of her, and at the two goblin guards who were frightened and ran to the gate immediately after discovering her arrival, Annie looked at the gate with some nostalgia. My little bear Tibbers said.

(…)

??lll￢??￢??

Back then, it was the goblin who lived here, but in fact, it was probably a group of nasty little things like the greedy goblins of Azeroth who were greedy for her family's gold coins! Moreover, after they are greedy, it doesn't count, but they still want to close the door and let the dragon bite her?

But in the end, the bad guys who shouted the loudest were all burned to ashes by her, and even the dragon was released by Tibbers to be beaten to death and quickly burned to a skeleton, and the rest were not too bad They were all hung in that hall by her...

`(*∩_∩*)′

And now that I think about it, I really miss it...

Especially the smell of dragon meat roasted by the bonfire ignited by the magic wand... I just don't know if those goblins have caught the new dragon and stuffed it next to Lord Gu Ling again Acting as a guard in the underground vault? If there were any, or could she find another chance to beat them up?

(…)

(●￣(??)￣●)

After thinking about it, she also rarely released her mental power to scan the opponent's underground vault, and soon, she found no trace of the existence of the dragon, so she had to regretfully step forward with her short legs, step by step. walked forward.

'! ! '

And at this time, alone, wearing a small red skirt, carrying a plush toy bear in her hand, little Annie, who is highly recognizable to some groups, just approached within 50 meters and caused a certain accident on the spot. A goblin guard alert!

So, after rubbing its eyes and confirming that it read correctly, it hurriedly turned around and ran into the bank...

Gringotts, the full name is: Gringotts Wizarding Bank, it is run by goblins, the only bank in the magical world of British wizards!

It is located in Diagon Alley in London, and its main function is to facilitate wizards to save money, exchange or rent vaults and other businesses!

Moreover, it is said that it is also the safest place in the world at the same time, because the bank's vaults are buried deep in the ground, and the gates of the vaults must be opened by the goblins of Gringotts with special magic power. A wizard with strong mana would definitely not be able to easily sneak into an underground vault protected by goblins and heavy magic.

"welcome!!"

"Honorable Professor Anne, welcome to Gringotts again, please go this way, Director Bogrod is already waiting for you inside..."

When a certain little girl walked down the steps of the bank, looked up at the gate of Gringotts from the outside again, and fell into a short memory, the girl just rushed into the Gringotts bank as if she was frightened The goblin guard in the room finally ran out, and ran down the stairs directly, nodding and bowing, and humbly greeted the little girl standing in front of the steps.

Under normal circumstances, when wizard customers come to the door, it is the utmost etiquette for goblin guards in scarlet and gold-embellished uniforms to bow to the guests when they come...but like now, they directly Running down the steps and humbly saluting a little human girl wizard and leading the way has never happened before, not even the Minister of Magic himself.

Therefore, as a matter of course, the actions of the goblin guard aroused the curiosity and onlookers of those wizards who came in and out.

'...'

‘Hey, whose family is that little girl, why is the goblin so respectful to her? '

'I don't know, but it looks familiar...'

'I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it. '

'...'

snort!

"Professor Annie, please go this way..."

The goblin guard in the scarlet gold inlaid uniform didn't pay attention to the human wizards who were pointing outside the door. The little girl went through the second silver door of Gringotts Bank.

The goblin guard led the other party into the magnificent and spacious marble hall, until the goblin employees sitting behind the big counter began to pay attention to this side, and Bogorod also came up to take over his reception work Afterwards, the goblin guard bowed deeply again, and carefully stepped back outside the gate of Gringotts.

To be honest, this elf guard who thinks he is powerful doesn't want to be so humble to a damn human wizard, but...

Whoever made a big fuss in Gringotts, killed several goblins, killed the dragon guarding the vault, forced the goblins to surrender collectively and had to pay compensation and apologize, and then nothing happened in the end, then it must be They can also receive the super high-standard treatment like a VIP from their Gringotts Goblin Bank.

After all, they absolutely do not want to be beaten up and hang upside down in mid-air with that kind of hot flame rope for a long time. What's more, what those human wizards didn't know was that in Gringotts, among their family of goblins, they listed the little girl as the highest level of danger, far surpassing the Dark Lord Voldemort.

"welcome……"

"Professor Anne, welcome to our Gringotts Wizarding Bank!"

Why?

"We've all heard that you returned to Hogwarts not long ago... I just don't know how long you plan to stay in London this time?"

"oh!"

"Sorry, this way, please, be careful that the steps are a bit slippery, we can go directly to the VIP room instead of queuing up there..."

Leading the little girl into this resplendent and spacious marble hall, and waved vaguely to signal those goblin staff who stopped their work and involuntarily watched the little girl's arrival with all sorts of inexplicable eyes. The supervisor Bogrod respectfully led the little girl to another direction.

For this man who was a gun horse, one man and one bear picked hundreds of goblins, dozens of guards and giant spirits from Gringotts, together with the Aurors who came to support from the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore who appeared at the end, they couldn't do anything. There is no little girl, how can he, Bogorod, be hardened at this time?

Anyway, he still doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to be burned to ashes by the other party!

"Professor Annie..."

"I don't know if there is anything that can help you? If there is, please just tell me?"

So, after inviting the other party to their goblin-specific rest room, and respectfully pouring him a cup of coffee, Bogrod humbly rubbed his hands, stood beside him and asked cautiously.

"Of course I'm here to withdraw money!"

(??????▽??????)

"Didn't they save a lot of Galleons with you before? Now they need to buy something, so they want to take them away!"

(*??︶??*).. .:*??

Annie felt that this goblin seemed to be talking nonsense!

She came to the bank eagerly, if it wasn't for the purpose of withdrawing money, did she come here to be cheated by these black-hearted guys? Last time, she had already cleaned them up, and made a lot of noise and wasted a lot of time...Anyway, she didn't want to fight every time she came here, it would be too troublesome !

Especially when there is nothing she is interested in here, she is even more unwilling to waste time.

"ah?!"

Bogorod, the goblin supervisor, suddenly felt a thump in his heart, and secretly said something bad.

"Yes……"

"That's right, I remembered, Professor Anne, you indeed deposited a large sum of Galleons with us at Gringotts two years ago..."

I remembered the large amount of compensation I had to pay when I fought with the opponent and lost, and then neither the Ministry of Magic nor Dumbledore, nor even the "reason" of justice were on their side. Regarding the matter of Jin Gallon's compensation, Bogrod still couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.

You know, although in general, their goblins can reasonably continue to 'keep' the 'ownerless' coffers of wizards who have lost their children and heirs and refuse to hand them over, even though they are still very rich, even though the Ministry of Magic has been in the past two years. They have already begun to intervene in the affairs of Gringotts, and there is nothing they can do... However, anyone who pays out such a large amount of Galleons for nothing will always feel heartache.

"let me see……"

Bogrod quickly took out a ledger that he carried with him, and quickly turned to the page he was least willing to turn.

"Professor Anne, after deducting the storage fee, you have 1,522,000 Galleons left and 117 Silver Siqs left!"

"Excuse me, how much do you plan to withdraw?"

Thinking of this huge amount of wealth, Bogorod couldn't help but twitch again...

All of this, without a doubt, was all the fault of that winking and dead Griphook! Of course, it's too late to say anything now. After all, that greedy Griphook is dead, and Gringotts paid the compensation in time two years ago. Now that the creditor came to the door again, what else could they do?

Could it be that he, Bogrod, dared to refuse to return the huge sum of money that they kept for two full years, and he still thought he could continue to 'keep' it?

"Of course take them all!!"

??(????????)??

I didn't expect that there were so many Galleons in Gringotts, so, without even thinking about it, Little Annie said that she would take them all!

After all, she doesn't like these short and small goblins with a disgusting smell, and she doesn't want to come to this Gringotts to withdraw money every time, so now that she thinks about it now, she just wants to go directly Take them all out and use them!

Besides, it's not that she can't store those Galleons in her own space bag, so there's no need for these annoying fairies to keep them for her.

"ah……"

"All, all?!"

Bogorod was stunned. He didn't even think that this little girl really planned to take them all? Then, he directly thought subconsciously: Isn't she afraid of being robbed by others when she leaves the gate of Gringotts?

But soon, Bogrod reacted, because he knew that the little girl in front of him... It seems that the other party is really not afraid of being robbed by anyone or forces? !

"Isn't it okay?"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)?

Seeing the other party's tangled face, little Annie was a little puzzled. She didn't understand. She ran to the bank to withdraw the money she had saved. Could it be that these greedy fairies dare not give it? Or, their internal employees of the bank embezzled her money for Tan Mo, and then wanted to renege on the debt?

You know, when she was playing in another earth plane, she had seen a lot of reports on the Internet... And if that outrageous thing really happened to her Lady Queen Anne, then it's hard to say, Today she and Tibbers the Bear have to burn these bastards again? !

"!!"

"No! Of course! No problem, definitely!!"

Seeing the little girl's impatient and skeptical expression, Bogorod quickly changed back to the groveling goblin just now, and there was no sign of displeasure on his face at all.

"please……"

"Professor Anne, please come this way, I will take you to your escrow vault..."

There is no way, the situation is stronger than others, besides serving this little girl honestly, taking her to the vault and taking away those Galleons, what else can he do?

As for how the other party wants to take away the large sum of Galleons by himself, that's not something he needs to take care of.

After all, under normal circumstances, wizards always have a solution, not to mention the little guy in front of him who is said to be at the top of the wizarding world, and even Dumbledore is a little afraid of him! Moreover, he, Bogrod, has heard about it. Two weeks ago, in the camp of the Quidditch World Cup, this guy had another conflict with the Aurors!

As for the result...

There must be no big suspense. It is said that at that time, there were twenty Aurors without a chance to resist, and they were knocked unconscious on the spot. Dumbledore and more Aurors who came later, Don't even dare to say a serious word?

—————————

During the time when a certain little girl was going to Diagon Alley, in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, students from all colleges and grades began to gather in the direction of the auditorium in an orderly manner under the command of the prefects and deans. ...

"Hello!"

"Hermione! Where are you going now? Professor McGonagall asked all of us to go to the auditorium immediately, saying that our school's guests are coming soon, we must hurry!!"

In a corridor not far outside the auditorium, Ron ran into Hermione who was running out in a hurry. Seeing the other party's appearance, Ron felt a little strange, and suddenly called out to stop the other party.

After all, almost all the teachers and students were gathering here in the auditorium, but Hermione went out by herself, which made him feel strange.

"Hermione?"

Along with Ron, Harry, who was heading to the school auditorium, also cast a curious and puzzled look at their friend Hermione.

Of course, there is still a trace of envy... Because the little fiery red phoenix hovering over the other party's head, he knows that it is one of the pets that the other party has kept for two years. What the former Professor Anne gave to the other party was one of the only two-headed phoenixes found in the entire Hogwarts, and even in the entire wizarding world!

"!!"

call!

Hermione took a breath, let her phoenix land on her shoulders, and then explained:

"Is such that……"

"Professor Dumbledore asked me to go to the top of the castle to see if Professor Anne is back? Because our school's guests are coming soon, she is a professor, and she is also one of the judges of the Triwizard Tournament. You can't be absent, so..."

"Do you want to come together?"

After explaining a few words, Hermione extended an invitation to her two friends.

Now most of the students have gathered in the auditorium and sat down. If she goes to the main castle of Hogwarts alone now, thinking of those dark corridors and spiral staircases, it will really make her feel She is a little scared! So, it would be best if Harry and Ron went with him.

Even if, now she is actually accompanied and protected by her phoenix?

'...'

'...'

Ron and Harry glanced at each other, and both of them saw the eagerness in each other's eyes, because neither of them had been to the place where Professor Anne said was more beautiful than Principal Dumbledore's room, so they Tempted now.

"Hermione, can we really go?"

"you sure?!"

Anyway, the guests from Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Magic have not arrived yet, and thinking about it, it should be too late. Moreover, the two who were reluctant to wait in the auditorium so early were finally tempted up.

"sure!"

"Speaking of which, Harry and Ron, you are also very familiar with Professor Anne, she certainly wouldn't mind, wouldn't she?"

Although she didn't know if it was a good idea to do this, Hermione thought about it and felt that anyway, Professor Anne was like herself. She stayed at Ron's house for a few days and knew everyone very well. I don't care about the little things.

Therefore, after thinking about it, she directly made the decision and sent out an invitation.

"Very good!"

"Of course we're going too!!"

Being able to visit Professor Anne's room at the top of the castle is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so of course Harry and Ron will not give up easily! Besides, if it was on the top of the castle, when the guests from the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Magic arrived, they might be able to see them more clearly than the students in the auditorium ?

It is said that the other party will come by a great means of transportation, but they don't know whether the student representatives of the Beauxbaton School of Magic and Durmstrang School of Magic will take the train or the flying car?

Or maybe they came directly by plane?
