Chapter 45: 1 There Must Be some Troublemakers Trying to Murder

"Oh! Merlin's beard! Can anyone tell me what happened here?" An old man with a long white beard, wearing a brown long-distance runner, and wearing a pointed wizard hat hurriedly pushed away the heavy Gringotts After the door, he walked in cautiously.

In the current Gringotts hall, the prosperous and solemn atmosphere of the past can no longer be seen. Instead, there are various traces left by fighting everywhere, as well as those broken tables and chairs, and smashed and crooked marble support stone pillars!

The wall near the ceiling on the left and the large floor-to-ceiling window were broken with a big hole! Those broken bricks and broken glass shards were all piled up on the ground in a small pile! Also, there was a scent in the air that made Dumbledore feel very familiar and friendly! But for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had smelled this smell!

A large group of Gringotts goblin employees who were supposed to be at work were howling in a low voice, tied with one foot by a flaming red magic rope, and hung upside down in mid-air in the lobby of Gringotts Bank! None of them dared to struggle, and none of them dared to try to untie the magic rope on their feet!

And other Gringotts guards and dozens of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were tied to those few marble pillars that were still intact by the same red magic ropes in disgrace! Some of them have already passed out and passed out, and some of them lowered their heads in aggrieved manner, not daring to move in the slightest!

Dumbledore also saw that there were some strange human stone statues on the ground on the other side? He had never remembered such stone statues in the halls of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank! Could it be that those tasteless goblins just added it?

And Fudge, the only minister of the Ministry of Magic who was not tied up, was trembling with his head down like a frightened chicken! He is now standing on the sidelines in a regular manner, not daring to say a word in a daze, his wide wizard hat still covers his face, and Dumbledore didn't recognize him when he saw him for the first time Come!

At the end of the hall, the entrance to that vault at Gringotts Bank was also a mess! The floor over there is also covered with bricks and other unknown debris, as if it was squeezed out by something particularly huge? And in the back corner of the hall lay a... eh? The burning thing turned out to be a giant dragon skeleton? But what is that flaming bear sitting on the skull of a giant dragon?

Seeing the still burning dragon skeleton, Dumbledore finally came to his senses! He finally remembered what the strong fragrance he smelled when he just walked in the door! That's the smell of barbecued dragon meat! That's right! This is the taste! It's the familiar burnt smell!

For this smell, Principal Dumbledore misses it very much! Back then, he had slaughtered several giant dragons in the name of studying the multiple uses of dragon blood! At that time, he had to skin and cramp the bones of those giant dragons, which not only made him a lot of money, but also ate a lot of dragon meat!

Thinking about it now, I really miss it! No wonder he always felt that this scent was so familiar the moment he entered the door! So this is ah! However, ahem, it’s worth not mentioning the events of that year now! It's nothing more than being young and frivolous! Slaughtering dragons or something, Dumbledore has long since quit! He is a man of status now! How could you still do that kind of thing?

The above is the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, who is recognized as the greatest wizard of the contemporary era, the winner of the Order of Merlin, the founder and secret keeper of the Order of the Phoenix, the chairman of the International Federation of Wizards, and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. Bust Dumbledore's first sight after walking into Gringotts Bank!

Originally, Albus Dumbledore did not intend to come to Gringotts today. In his original itinerary, it may take several days before he needs to visit the bank. Store a little important little things! But definitely not today!

But,

When he was about to have afternoon tea, someone suddenly sent him an urgent summons, saying that something big had happened at Gringotts Wizarding Bank! He, who is recognized as the most powerful white wizard, is needed to help! So, he had no choice but to mess up his schedule in advance, and hastily used Apparition to come to Diagon Alley, wanting to come and see what was going on here!

But who knew that after he pushed open the door, he actually saw such a situation! The first time he saw the scene just now, he was shocked! I almost thought it was that little Tom Voldemort who was resurrected again! But he also knew that this idea was impossible! Because at the end of last semester, Little Tom was just a poor ghost. How could he be revived so soon? Even if you give him a hundred Sorcerer's Stones, it's impossible to be so fast! Rebirth is not a game of pinching people! Not to mention how complicated the programs and potions needed are!

"So it's you! Fudge? You're here too? Then tell me quickly, what's going on here?" Dumbledore, who was confused about the situation, finally found Fudge, Minister of Magic, who was trembling beside the gate. Minister of Magic? Why is it like this wronged little daughter-in-law now? I almost didn't recognize him just now!

Fudge, the Minister of Magic, also found Dumbledore at this time, but he didn't dare to answer his question directly. Instead, he looked up timidly at the little girl in the middle of the hall. He Fudge was terrified just now! The strength of that little girl is really terrifying! Fudge couldn't even imagine that there would be such a person in the world!

Think back to earlier, when he had just received a call for help from Gringotts. Fudge had naively thought that, at most, a few dark wizards would want to attack the Gringotts Bank if their brains went crazy when they were full! Those lunatics who were mentally disturbed and attacked the bank, at most they just wanted to earn such a sum of gold coins! He didn't take these things seriously at all! In his opinion, is Gringotts so friendly?

But following the principle of business, since such a big incident happened at the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the goblins also sent a message to the Ministry of Magic for help! Then, as the Minister of Magic, he, Fudge, should pay attention to both emotion and reason! Therefore, he immediately led dozens of Aurors who happened to be on duty at the Ministry of Magic to the scene by Apparating!

But I never thought of... Alas! Now Fudge thinks of it full of tears! just now! A group of them came here, and after figuring out the situation, dozens of Aurors under him launched a fierce attack on the little girl at the same time. At the same time, Gringotts also released their big killer in due course: The ancient white dragon guarding the vault! and then? And then it's gone! Nothing then! ! !

As soon as the ancient white dragon came and roared, it was overturned to the ground by the magic creature thrown by the little girl, and it was sliced ​​into pieces in just three or two strokes! Then, it was slowly burned into the skeleton in front of it by the flame on the magical creature that was more terrifying than Fiendfyre! That magical creature is still sitting on the dragon skull watching the show! It's that ferocious flaming giant over there! Otherwise, how do you think the smell of barbecue still pervades the entire Gringotts hall? It is the masterpiece of that giant flame bear! It is too cruel! They haven't had time to hear it! An ancient giant dragon is gone just like that!

And the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are even more unbearable! They pulled their wands out of their wand cases, and just as they were about to attack, they were all disarmed inexplicably! Then, like toothless tigers, they were easily tied to the stone pillars one by one by the red magic ropes that appeared out of thin air! They didn't even have time to cast a spell before they were wiped out!

Melin! Those are dozens of powerful Aurors! Plus a powerful ancient white dragon! Such a powerful combination! I couldn't hold on for three seconds in a daze! Even when the mysterious man was at his peak and rampant, he was probably not half as vicious as the little girl in front of him, right?

Let's not talk about the dragon, just talk about the Auror! If the mysterious man dared to be arrogant and single out dozens of Aurors, Fudge would dare to teach him how to behave in minutes! No one can beat dozens of Aurors with a single challenge! Whether it's Dumbledore or the You-Know-Who! None of them! There is no such strength! But now? It's just such a harmless little girl, she just did it! And it's easy to do! So, does he, Fudge, dare not be cowardly now?

Following Fudge's terrified eyes, Dumbledore finally noticed the two little girls standing in the middle of the hall! One of the smaller little girls was holding a strange piece of meat and roasting it on the crackling fire. He recognized what that piece of meat was at a glance! He is very familiar! And what was the little girl throwing into the fire one by one? hiss! Look familiar! Well, those logs couldn't be a bunch of wands, could they? What a loser! How many Galleons does this cost?

Then Dumbledore took a closer look at the little girl and was completely stunned! Because, he just felt the extraordinary and majestic fluctuations of magic power in that little blond girl! At that moment, the well-informed Dumbledore even thought he was seeing the God of Magic!

Dumbledore never thought that there would be a wizard who could have this level of magic fluctuations! There will never be one in the wizarding world! Even if Merlin regenerates, it is impossible to reach this level! Then let alone Dumbledore or Voldemort's rebellious boy!

After clearly realizing the horror of the little girl in front of him, the first thing Dumbledore thought of was: There must be some villains trying to murder the old man! How can he deal with this little girl?

Who will it be? Who the hell wants to borrow a knife to kill someone? Could it be Fudge, an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf? Forgive him for not having the guts, right? Or the remnants of the Death Eaters under Tom Rebel? This is somewhat possible! correct! Who the hell sent me here just now? Dumbledore felt that after this incident, he had to check it out!

Dumbledore lifted up his reading glasses, quietly wiped away the cold sweat, and at the same time let go of the Elder Wand that was still tightly held in his cuff. He has no intention of doing anything now! I dare not have this thought! Perhaps, he shouldn't be here today? This is not something he can easily intervene in! If you're not careful, you might lose your life! If he pretended to go to the wrong door now, would it be too late?

After wiping off his cold sweat again, Dumbledore finally shifted his gaze to another taller little girl. Oh! so far so good! This taller girl is more normal! The fluctuation of magic power is not much different from that of normal peers! Um? Why does it look familiar? He quickly adjusted the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and took a closer look.

"Miss Hermione Granger! It's you? Why are you here?" After finding out that the girl next to the little girl was his student, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Do you have acquaintances? It's good to have acquaintances! If there are acquaintances, it proves that there is still something to talk about! For Dumbledore, no matter how bad the situation is, he is not afraid of it, but he is afraid of not knowing anyone! If no one on the other side knows each other, then I'm afraid there won't even be a chance to negotiate! That is what will kill him!

And now it's much easier to handle! Because the old and cunning Dumbledore found out: This student of his seems to be quite familiar with that little girl? They are all standing together, it is impossible not to know each other! That's easy! He has already thought of a solution to today's mess!

"Deng, Professor Dumbledore?" Hearing someone calling her, Hermione finally recovered from the numb state she had been in all along!

For what happened today, the ups and downs are too great! Until just now, she was still in a stunned state! But Hermione also knew that she must be in trouble!

Thinking of this, Hermione even cried when she saw the familiar Principal Dumbledore! Almost cried out loud! You have to know, she is just a twelve-year-old girl! Today is burning goblins and catching Aurors again! And smashed the Gringotts Wizarding Bank to pieces! How does this end?

"Okay, okay! Miss Granger! Don't cry yet! Can you explain in detail what happened here? And who is this next to you?" Dumbledore stretched out his hand and patted He Min's shoulder reassured.

After finding that Annie was frowning and staring at him suspiciously, Dumbledore was so shocked that he almost didn't retract his outstretched hand! Almost ran away! Right now, he really wanted to say loudly: This has nothing to do with the old man! The old man was just passing by, and then wanted to drop in to persuade the fight! If you don't listen to the persuasion and continue to fight, the old man will say nothing! Turn around and leave immediately! Anyway, the old man is not very familiar with them!

"Woo~! Okay, good professor!" Hermione sobbed for a while, wiped away the tears on her cheeks indiscriminately, and then roughly explained what happened...

"So that's how it is! I understand!" Dumbledore finally calmed down a lot after Hermione explained the whole thing from the beginning to the end.

Dumbledore felt that as long as the matter was determined, it would be much easier to handle! He also roughly sorted out the context in his mind, and restored what happened: the little girl Anne in front of him came to Gringotts Wizard Bank to exchange ancient gold coins! The goblin employee of Gringotts saw the money and took the hard-earned money of the little girl! Then the conflict happened like this! The key is! This guy's goblin fist is not as hard as other little girls' fists! In the end, one of the goblin guards was burned to death by a little girl! The culprit who was burned to ashes was a goblin employee! An ancient white dragon that was burned into a skeleton! Damaged property and buildings! Break...and burn some wands! That's right! That's probably how things went!

very good! Dumbledore immediately figured out what happened! In his opinion, this matter was from the beginning to the end: what the little girl did was completely reasonable and legitimate self-defense! Absolutely no responsibility! The employees of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank should bear the main responsibility when they saw the money! And the Ministry of Magic acted without investigating the truth of the matter, so it only needs to bear secondary responsibility!

That's right! That's how it should be done! This is how the old man handles it! Perfect! Dumbledore secretly nodded to the solution he had decided in his heart! If anyone has an opinion, go find the little girl to reason it out! Don't come to the old man! Are you free as an old man? The old man has a lot of things to do! Busy now!

"That's easy!" Dumbledore stretched out his Elder Wand in satisfaction, waved at a goblin hanging in the air in the hall, and gave Bogrod, the big boss of Gringotts goblin above, Saved! As for the other goblins who are still hanging? None of his business? Keep hanging! Anyway, I can't die again! Hanging for a long time will cause cerebral hemorrhage or something. Wouldn’t it be better to take more medicine?

"Bogrod, did you hear what Miss Granger said just now?" Dumbledore squinted his eyes slightly, hinting at the goblin leader with his eyes, meaning to make him take the responsibility quickly and realize his mistake! Otherwise, he, Dumbledore, would leave him alone!

"Listen, hear me! We did this wrong! On behalf of Gringotts, I am here to express my sincere apologies to Miss Anne! And, we at Gringotts Wizarding Bank would be ten times more... no! We I am willing to compensate you a hundred times for your losses!" My fist is not as big as others, and the helpers I found are not very reliable! Coupled with the fact that he was at a loss again, Bogorod, who was already exhausted, finally gave in!

As for the majesty of Gringotts and the goblin, it has already been thrown into some corner by it! Prestige is more important or life is more important? This is still very easy for Bogorod to distinguish! Right now, it's finally hard for someone to be a peacemaker, so let's save my life first!

This incident was actually caused by that damned Griphook from the beginning to the end! Fortunately, it died early! otherwise! After this incident, Bogorod will have to poke it into ashes again! It's fine for that bastard's hands and feet to be dirty, but he even made himself responsible for it!

"Then, your name is Annie, right? You can call me Albus Dumbledore, I'm very glad to meet you! By the way, I almost forgot to ask, how many ancient gold coins have they cheated on you in total?" The matter has a perfect solution, and Dumbledore is very relieved! It seems that his old face is quite useful! No matter where you go, you can eat it!

"Oh! About this number!" Annie saw that the white-bearded old man seemed to know Hermione, and she herself didn't want to fight like this endlessly! It's so boring! So, she took advantage of the situation to expose the incident, but she still had to lose money! So she stretched out a tender palm!

"Oh? It's only fifty gold coins? Not too many, not many! It's easy." Fifty gold coins are black? These Gringotts goblins are really going back! You must have thought these two little girls were easy to bully at first, right? But what happened? Ha ha! At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly felt that the goblins deserved to be beaten! His own appearance fee is probably higher than these fifty gold coins, right?

After hearing that there were only fifty gold coins, the goblin leader Bogorod, who was sitting slumped on the ground, finally let go of his hanging heart! Fifty ancient gold coins, even if they were exchanged for Galleons at a ratio of 1:3, the maximum compensation for a hundred times would be only 15,000 Galleons at most! For the rich and powerful Gringotts, this is completely trivial! It's drizzling!

Bogrod felt that this small amount of money might not cost as much as the cost of repairing Gringotts in the future, right? It's all that goddamn Griph! How could Gringotts suffer such a huge loss for a mere fifty gold coins! If the giant dragon was added, the loss would be an astronomical figure!

"No! That's not it! Professor! It's not fifty! At least five thousand! Maybe more! Because there's such a big pocket! And the owner of the pet shop can testify! She was the one who suggested we come to Guling It was exchanged at the Court Bank!" Hearing that Principal Dumbledore said that there were only fifty coins, Hermione became anxious immediately! Hurry up and yell to stop! He also took advantage of the situation and gestured with both hands to see the size of the pocket!

Hermione couldn't be in a hurry on this matter! If they really dared to deal with fifty gold coins, then maybe Little Annie would have to fight a few more fights with the fairies? You know, Hermione has had enough today! She doesn't want to stay here in fear anymore! She just wants to go out and find her irresponsible father, and then go home as fast as possible! Oh! and also! Before going home, I have to pick up that big-faced cat! Even now, Hermione doesn't want to break her promise!

"Many, how many? Five, five thousand?! There are so many?" Dumbledore was also a little surprised by this amount!

If so, it makes sense! No wonder that deadly goblin dared to attack! Dumbledore felt that if it was him, he might be a little moved, right? How much is the old man's annual salary? Hundreds of Galleons? Should be less than a thousand? Tut tut! A little girl is richer than this old man! However, what does this matter to the old man? I don't need the old man to pay for compensation!

"Bogrod? Did you hear that too? Do you have any objections? Tell me sooner!" Dumbledore gloated and looked at the goblin leader who was slumped on the floor. He also began to calculate in his heart, if If it was more than 5,000 pieces, how much would Gringotts have to pay?

"No, no objection!" The goblin leader lowered his head deeply!

Damn Merlin! If this is the case, Gringotts Bank will have to pay a total of 1.5 million Galleons! Bogorod seemed to hear the voice of his own heartbreak! That's 1.5 million Galleons! Damn it! God damn it! Although it has been burned to ashes! But Bogrod still has the urge to get his soul back and torture him for ten thousand years!

"By the way! And you! Fudge!" Dumbledore suddenly turned around and looked at the Minister of Magic who was still sleepwalking. "This matter is over now! Everything today ends here! You think the Ministry of Magic should have no objections?"

"Opinion? No! Absolutely not! I second! I agree!" Hearing Dumbledore's words, Fudge reacted with shock, and immediately raised his hand to express his no objection! He wanted to leave this damn place long ago! Don't want to stay longer for a moment!

At first, he thought that he came here just to catch some thugs and the like, and he could make a fool of himself, show his face, get in the newspapers and so on! But now? Steal chickens without losing money! Not only did he not get the credit, but he also caused a mess! I lost a lot of face!

Moreover, their Aurors also lost dozens of high-performance magic wands! This is also a lot of money! This can't make them pay for the Ministry of Magic! Fudge felt that after this matter was over, he had to send someone to have a good chat with this damned goblin leader immediately! They must be made to bleed too, in addition to compensating for the loss of the Ministry of Magic, and also compensating myself for a spiritual consolation by the way! correct! And those Aurors! As a minister, you can't eat alone!
