Chapter 1085 ? Forced to Compromise

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Aurors on business!"

At this moment, the wizards watching outside the Gringotts bank were pushed away, and Scrimgeour walked in through the crowd with a patrol of Aurors.

The director of the Auror office took into account the situation on the field with his sharp eyes. He pondered for a while, and in a tone that was different from his usual straightforward style, he asked bluntly and knowingly: "Director Harris, do you know what happened here? Is it? Are you here?"

"The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is performing official duties..." Len's eyes swept over the group of patrolling Aurors with vigilant eyes. "Director Scrimgeour...I don't remember that I have notified you."

"Wait... Director Harris..." Scrimgeour glanced around, and he quickly took a few steps closer to Len, covered his lips with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Director Harris, I know you are here to fetch Mysterious Man's Horcrux... But I don't think we can just forcefully enter Gringotts like this..." He turned his head to look at the goblins at Griphook, and lowered his voice a little, "We can do our best later Capture a dark wizard from the Lestrange family, and then use him to negotiate with the goblins...so the goblins have a reason to compromise and not break their own rules."

"Now that Lestrange has disappeared without a trace with the mysterious man, how can you ensure that you can find one? Lun also moved closer to Scrimgeour, and explained in a deep voice, "But Gringotts The horcrux must be disposed of as soon as possible, since the mysterious man already knows that we are looking for his horcrux, he will find a way to transfer the contents of it sooner or later, and it will not be so easy to find it when the time comes..."

"I can understand, but..." Scrimgeour shook his head, "Director Harris, the possible consequences of intensifying conflicts with the goblins are no less than those caused by the mysterious man. Think about the rebellion launched by the goblins before..."

"This is not something you should consider as the director of the Auror Office." Lun's tone became a little tougher, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, "When did the Auror Office, a subsidiary of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, start to teach Is the Department of Magical Law Enforcement doing something?"

"I'm sorry, Director..." Seeing that Len was unable to persuade, Scrimgeour raised his lion-like head, "This is the duty of the patrolling Aurors. The patrolling Aurors are responsible for patrolling Diagon Alley and maintaining peace and tranquility in the area...if someone If we violate the regulations and forcibly break into some place, our patrolling Aurors will naturally stop it."

"So the director of the Auror Office intends to disobey? Are you opposing the Ministry of Magic's arrest of the Dark Lord?" Lunn's voice was very soft and slow, but the sense of oppression he brought to Scrimgeour was very strong.

"I'm not disobedient, I'm dedicated to fighting dark wizards! But if the Department of Magical Law Enforcement wants to go in and search, please show the director a valid certificate issued by the Ministry of Magic." Scrimgeour emphasized his tone, and his tawny hair followed Shaking, "If the director has any objections, we can go back to the Ministry of Magic for a meeting to discuss and deal with it..."

Scrimgeour also went all out, and he didn't think it was a matter of right or wrong, but if Harris broke into Gringotts so recklessly, besides the goblins, it would also be a provocation to the pure-blood family with a treasury inside, so The consequences would be more terrifying than a Dark Lord who dared not return to England—he even had some doubts that Harris' target standard was his disobedience, and wanted to drive him out of the position of Auror Office Director.

Several well-dressed wizards also squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers, retorting angrily.

"Strongly oppose any organization or individual's encroachment or destruction of our personal private property by any means. Private property rights are sacred and inviolable."

"You have no right to come to Gringotts to take personal property,

No matter what the reason is, this precedent cannot be set, otherwise the Ministry of Magic will not be able to search the private vaults of wizards for various reasons next time? ! "

A fair-haired witch and a buck-toothed wizard sang and spoke excitedly—they were Annette Bobbin and Marcus Flint.

Lun recognized the identities of these two people. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, glanced at Griphook who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and smiled——except that the fairies had notified Scrimgeour. Hurry up and comrade the pure blood wizard.

"For Merlin's sake, please let me in..."

The voice of a wizard came again, and it took another half a day before the owner of the voice staggered in from the crowd, and everyone discovered that he was the one whose daughter was expelled from Hogwarts last year and whose family was permanently expelled from Hogwarts. After the last meeting of the school board, the patriarch of the Burster family, Ben Burstrode, who was close to him before, seemed to have compromised with Harris because of his daughter’s illness. So throughout the summer vacation, I didn't bother Harris as much as before.

"Phew... If the safety of our private property can't be guaranteed...Phew...it really makes people feel insecure. If the Ministry of Magic approves such behavior, then for long-term considerations, I will transfer my assets to other Go to the country..." Ben Burst threatened out of breath.

However, this caused some laughter to erupt from the crowd below. Under the suppression and exclusion of Harris, the Burster family had already invested abroad, and their daughter Millicent was forced to borrow Dumbledore, the former headmaster of Hogwarts. It is well known that he went to France Beauxbatons as a transfer student because of his relationship.

"If I remember correctly, the treasury does not necessarily need to go in person, because Mrs. Weasley and the boy who helped the Potter family have withdrawn the money." Lun ignored these pure-blood families, but said a Reasons that are not considered reasons, "So Gringotts is unwilling to support and set an example in the fight against the Dark Lord when there is such a precedent?"

Jian noticed that there were more and more crowds watching, and the previous goblins looked at each other and were forced to come out.

"Director Harris, your family is also a Gringotts user... It should be clear... that the vaults themselves vary in size and security. Of all the vaults, the largest and best protected are those The oldest wizard family is located on the deepest level, and the closer the distance to the ground, the smaller the size of the vault and fewer security measures. The deep vault requires a goblin to touch the vault door to open it, while the shallow vault The layer treasury only needs a key...According to the agreement, ordinary shallow users will not need too strict services in this regard." The goblin took out all the rules that all wizards know, and said, "Of course, if If Director Harris can obtain authorization from members of the Lestrange family, then he can indeed walk into the vault of the Lestrange family like Mrs. Weasley..."

"Director Harris, if you insist on forcibly entering Gringotts and taking away property that does not belong to you, then in order to protect the legal interests of customers from loss and maintain Gringott's reputation, Gringotts will suspend payment and Savings deposits and withdrawals and other businesses.” The dark face of the goblin Griphook is very serious, and the pointed beard is raised following his words, “And what we discussed with the goblin and the umbrella and Hogwarts before in the Hogwarts expansion area The establishment of a branch is due to the unstable situation. The goblins don't have the energy to protect the two banks at this moment, and they may have to give up. Those merchants who design and plan the commercial district can only suffer more. Running to and from Diagon Alley."

Now that there are obstacles from patrolling Aurors and pure-blood families, these goblins have begun to drag ordinary wizards into the water. Knowing that Harris does not dare to continue to act arrogantly under this situation, and has made up his mind that Harris must act with scruples, You can't give the opponent the thought of raiding at another time next time.

However, this kind of threat from the goblin did change the attitude of many onlookers who have nothing to do with themselves, and a burst of discussion erupted-the things in the shallow vaults owned by most ordinary wizard families are more than just The common Galleons and the like wouldn't have the family history and financial resources to own dangerous items that would make the Ministry of Magic worth inspecting like those ancient pure-blood families, but now the threat of goblins made them realize the reality, if The goblins were really enraged, even if it wasn't to the level of rebellion recorded in the history of magic, it could make ordinary people like them uneasy.

"And the Ministry of Magic today can use the reason of attacking the Dark Lord to randomly search a family's treasury to take away personal items that do not belong to the Ministry of Magic... Then there is no guarantee that the Ministry of Magic will not use similar reasons to take away other things in the future."

"What if the Ministry of Magic considers Gallon as a contraband in the future? I mean, with today's precedent, will they confiscate the money on the grounds that it was used to fund the Dark Lord?"

Both Bobin and Flint seized the time to speak with rhythm.

These threats succeeded in making even those who originally supported Harris's action against the Dark Lord unable to stick to their views.

"Director Harris, anyway, the Dark Lord is afraid to return to England now..."

"Actually, the Ministry of Magic can find someone from the Lestrange family to open the door, so that both parties have a plausible reason."

"Gringotts is not the International Federation of Wizards after all, and the Federation made mistakes before...We can't be so arrogant."

At this time, Lun seemed to be compromising in these strong resistances. He helplessly raised his arms towards the armed Aurors behind him, and then began to retreat outside Gringotts.

It's just that when he was about to leave, his voice, which seemed a bit out of control, was different from his usual calm style, and the surrounding wizards could clearly hear his words: "The behavior of Gringotts seems to be It is to safeguard personal rights and interests, but in fact, you goblins are protecting the mysterious man...His Horcrux is there, and because of your protection, it cannot be destroyed...Britain is indeed not damaged because of my brother's protection, But the Dark Lord is wreaking havoc in Europe, and your actions are tantamount to murder!"
