Chapter 561 Lockhart’s Successor
There was a trolley under the ground in London. It was speeding along the track so fast that all I could see was the face of a goblin, you know? If you know who he is, please tell him. I will be waiting for him at Gringotts on Saturday night.
…
Ada didn't know whether Cozmo could climb the tree. She only knew that her elegant bun could no longer be saved, and the hat on her head had also left her at the last turn. Cozmo was manipulating the little boy like crazy. Even Takumi's AE86 can't catch up with the push cart.
Faced with Fred's threat, Cozmo remained indifferent, but faced with George's threat, Cozmo could only obey.
The goblin is a very smart creature. He could see that George was abnormal at this moment, and he could hear that it was not a verbal threat, but a real intention to put it into practice.
If George could operate a cart, there would be no room for Cosmo on the cart.
The trolley whizzed past the maze-like underground of Gringotts. At the current speed, the group should have returned to the ground long ago, but their position remained near the deepest vault. The only sound in their ears was the sound of the dragon. The sound of shackles rubbing together.
"Asshole! Stop it!" Fred yelled, "Stop it!"
He shouted as he held on to the cart tightly to prevent himself from being thrown out. The space of the cart is small, and the track is twisted and twisted. Every time Fred tries to take out his wand, it will automatically break the movement.
George's face on the side was gloomy and terrifying, his eyes were squinting, as if he was a demon who was about to choose someone to devour.
Obviously, Cosmo wanted to punish the thieves who broke into Gringotts, and wanted the three of them to fall into the bottomless abyss and be shattered to pieces. Cozmo's expression was ferocious, and the corners of his cracked mouth were filled with pleasure.
Ada also held the car tightly with both hands. The wind blowing against her face made her unable to open her mouth. The roller coaster without a seat belt was really exciting. In order to slow down the trolley, Ada kept chanting incantations in her mind, trying to increase the weight and resistance of the trolley.
In order to prevent the cart from being overwhelmed by the magic, Ada could only try it carefully. If the cart were to break down, the three of them would be able to experience the free fall.
"What should we do?" Fred yelled, scratching his neck, "How do we get this bastard to stop this damn car!"
Conspiracy loudly, or in front of that bastard Cozmo, Fred behaved like a Gryffindor.
Bravery is the noble quality of Gryffindor. At this moment, Fred was possessed by Gryffindor's soul. He took his hands off the cart and tried to control Cosmo, who had crazy ideas.
But just as Fred's hands left, another sharp turn appeared in front of him, and he was so frightened that he shrank back.
Just after the cart made a sharp turn, George suddenly made a move. As agile as a spiritual ape, he moved to the back of the cart and behind Cozmo.
George tightened his arms around Cosmo's neck, and the short goblin lost control of the cart. As the cart slowed down, Cozmo's life also passed away bit by bit.
As the cart screeched to a halt on the tracks, Cozmo's eyes were reduced to the whites of his eyes.
Fred quickly grabbed George to prevent him from continuing. Fortunately, although George became extremely violent, he could still recognize the people close to him. George didn't resist and allowed his twin brother to hug him.
Ada was not idle either. She pointed her wand at Cozmo, who was coughing loudly, and said: "Forget everything!"
The goblin's eyes immediately disappeared, and his face showed a dazed and indifferent expression. Ada tampered with the goblin's memory. She made Cozmo forget everything that had just happened.
"Why are we here?" Cozmo said calmly, and then he pointed to George, "What's wrong with this gentleman? Why do he feel that his eyes are weird, as if he wants to... kill me..."
Fred was shocked and was about to make up an excuse, but Ada was faster than him and blurted out a lie.
"Claustrophobia! This is the Muggle name for this symptom. The dark and closed environment underground makes him a little uncomfortable."
"What kind of strange disease is this?" Cozmo's eyes suddenly became sharp, but before he could continue to ask, another forgetting spell fell on the goblin.
After cosplaying Quilinus Quirrell, Ada began to cosplay Gilderoy Lockhart again. She learned their essence from the two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, stealing Gringotts, and the exquisite Oblivion Charm. .
I think the two professors, Quan Xia Youzhi, would be very satisfied to have such a great disciple. No, Lockhart should still be alive, and his prison life should have improved after the collective defection of the Dementors.
This time, without waiting for Cozmo to speak first, Fred asked directly: "How long are we going to stay here? Aren't you going to take us to see a better vault?"
Cozmo, who was in a trance, was frightened by this question. He hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, this is my work error. The vault just now is the best vault that Gringotts can provide for the three of us."
Fred, who had taken the initiative, asked reluctantly: "That's not what you just said! You said there is a better vault down there, and the vault there will definitely satisfy us!"
"I'm really sorry, three guests." Cozmo couldn't remember why he made such a stupid mistake. It was his work error.
The vaults deep underground in Gringotts are only open to very old families, and they must be old friends of Gringotts. Although the twins had the same ancient surname, they did not receive the same treatment as Lestrange.
The cart started moving again, taking Ada and the three of them back to the ground.
Along the way, Cozmo worked hard to promote Ordinary Treasury. On the one hand, it was to make up for his mistakes and prevent these three people from saying things they shouldn't say. On the other hand, maybe it was for performance?
It feels good to be back on the ground again, but the torches in the rough stone corridor are a bit dazzling, so I need to get used to it. When their eyes adjusted to the light, the three of them, led by Cozmo, walked back to the marble hall.
There were only a few guests in the hall. There was nothing extremely important to do at this time of year, and no one chose to go out. Naturally, Gringotts' business was a bit bleak.
But this also has the advantage that you don’t have to queue. The twins checked into a vault faster than a cart, and from that moment on they were also men with a vault in Gringotts.
It wasn't that the empty vault was so tempting, but that Cozmo gave him too much.
After putting away the keys to the vault, the three of them left Gringotts. On the way back to No. 93 Diagon Alley, George's face finally turned cloudy and became clear, no longer gloomy and scary.
As soon as they returned to their shop, the twins hurriedly pulled Ada upstairs.
The clerk, Verity, looked confused. She didn't understand what was wrong with her two bosses. They didn't even do business in broad daylight.
The twins who locked themselves in the small room naturally had no idea what the young clerk was thinking. They and Ada looked at the gold cup with confused expressions on their faces. Ada didn't know how to start, while Fred and George were wondering what this thing was and why it could have such a big impact on a person.
"What is this?" George asked, "Why did I end up like that at Gringotts?"
Ada pondered for a moment and replied: "Do you still remember Ginny's old diary?"
