Chapter 1132 ?Wizard Bank
Although some wizards have come over today to take away all the wealth stored in Gringotts in some weird ways, these customers are not big families themselves, and the amounts are not large. Although the greedy fairies feel a little distressed about this, they do not take it too seriously. But now they finally realized something was wrong.
Nagnok quietly looked at Sirius Black, who had the most stored property among the group, but he had a nonchalant and relaxed attitude. The goblin who couldn't judge asked again suspiciously: "Director Harris, Dirk... Director Cresway, may I ask what kind of business you want to handle? I will arrange for relevant colleagues to connect with you and provide you with more convenient services."
"Uh...Nagnok, we just came here today to get some Galleons..." A wizard in his mid-thirties tried to smile at the goblin in a gentle and understated tone, which seemed very friendly.
This wizard with brown hair and light skin is Dirk Cresswell. After Cuthbert Mockridge, the former head of the Goblin Liaison Office, was implicated in a political struggle, he broke up with Mr. Weasley. Recently, he was inclined to Harris, so he took over this position. This department has a high status in this department, and the office director is also highly respected - Dirk Cresswell is also a Muggle, but in At school, he became one of the favorite students of Horace Slughorn, the Potions teacher at the time, and many of his colleagues, including Arthur Weasley, considered him an excellent wizard.
The expression on Griphook's gray-yellow face that showed intelligence changed slightly, but this was a legitimate business transaction and he had no reason to refuse. He could not maintain the profit-oriented smile on his face, and waited for his dark eyes to test and ask, "De Grams, has the Ministry of Magic made any big investment moves? There are a lot of customers coming to Gringotts to handle this business today."
"Dirk, you can come down and try to appease the goblins. Now let's hurry up..." Sirius Black put his hands in his pockets impatiently, "Nagnok, we are all here simply to get money."
"Okay, Griphook, Gringotts doesn't have to worry about what we do with the money. If you're curious, you can come down and contact Dirk in private." Josephine walked towards the door with a smile on her face. "Nagnok, please make arrangements. After we finish, we have to go to the floating city..."
The director of the Goblin Liaison Office gave Griphook an apologetic look, and followed his colleagues from the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures into the bank.
Nagnok trotted a few steps quickly, ran to the front, and said eagerly to Sirius: "Mr. Black, with your status, why bother to come and withdraw the money in person? Just ask the owl to send a letter with your mark and we can give it to you." You send it over..."
"But this time I want to take away all the Black family's property..." Sirius said briskly, "So I have to come here in person, otherwise you won't agree, right?"
"Take them all?" Griphook's voice was a bit sharp, and his expression froze.
Nagnok glanced at Josephine at the front, and thinking that the other party was also a Harris, his slender fingers pinched together hard - this must be Harris's revenge for their previous refusal of Lunn's request, which led to So many people came to Gringotts at the same time to take away their wealth.
Thinking that so many Galleons and treasures of the Black family were about to be taken away, the goblin felt so painful that he could hardly breathe. Nagnok reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, gritted his teeth and endured the sour pain in his heart to stop thinking. Griphook said, "Mr. Black, Gringotts is the safest place in the world... You don't need to worry about safety here. Since we opened, Gringotts has been keeping the property of the Black family..."
"I'm very grateful for this..." Sirius glanced at the goblins coldly with his dark gray eyes. Knowing the habits of goblins, he naturally understood that the president in front of him had already regarded the treasures of the Black family as the goblins' wealth. "So now I don't need to trouble you anymore. I have decided that in addition to withdrawing money, I will also cancel my personal vault No. 711 and the Black family's family vault. I will no longer store any property in Gringotts. "
"The sterling silver sword of the Goblin King Legnak I! You loser...Mr. Black, are you going to tell me...that you want to give up the treasury of the Black family from ancient times to the present?!!" Nagnok thought of Sirius After realizing the significance of this decision, he couldn't help but beat his chest with his fist, "Mr. Black! Please think carefully about such a bottom-level treasury... If you want to go back on your word in the future... even if you want to reopen an account, it will be impossible." Deposit... This is not a treasury position you can get just by having money! This is the honor your ancestors got for your family!"
"Bullshit glory..." Sirius sneered, he lowered his head and looked at the goblin with contempt, "If you say more, I will take my godson over now and let him give up the Potter family..."
Griphook and Nagnok's faces were distorted. They didn't care about the Potter's vault, which was the shallowest and least secure, requiring only a key to access. What they cared about was the deepest vault in Britain. The ancient Black family.
But the members of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures no longer paid attention to the goblins at the door. They followed their director Josephine completely into the tall marble hall - there were about a hundred goblins sitting in a long row. On the high stools behind the counter, some used copper scales to weigh coins, and some used eyepieces to examine gems, while making hasty entries in the large ledger. There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many fairies guide visitors in and out of these doors.
Seeing such a crowded scene in the hall, the goblin employees who were still unaware of what was going on dropped what they were doing and hurried over to guide them.
Just after Griphook and Nagnok chased Josephine and the others in, a Gringotts wizard employee ran in in a panic from outside. This little man nimbly squeezed in among the onlookers. , ran to the president and whispered: "President, there are many wizards coming to the Leaky Cauldron... The Department of Magical Sports and Sports is here!"
Nagnok only felt that his cheeks were a little stiff and he could no longer squeeze out any false smile. Feeling bad in his heart, he turned around and saw a familiar face, and quickly grabbed the blond-haired wizard's clothes. Asked: "Mr. Ludo Bagman! What kind of business are you here to handle?!"
"It's been a long time since Nagnok. I'm indeed here to handle the withdrawal business. I want to withdraw all Bagman's wealth and close the account..." John Bartha smoothed his hair, and he brought With a habitual diplomatic smile, he said very enthusiastically, "Please help us arrange the application as soon as possible. In addition to my current colleagues in the ministry, my former teammates from the Wimborne Hornets should also be here soon... We all need to apply." Same business.”
"What..." Griphook's eyes were now more bulging than those of the three Lunas. "Are you all crazy? Are you leaving money at home to wait for thieves to steal it in order to please Harris?!"
"Griphook, don't worry...I remember you guys have a wizard TV in the lounge inside. Turn on the TV and watch the live broadcast, and you will know what's going on..." Ludo Bagman looked at the panicked goblins with a friendly smile. With a hint of revenge, "Don't worry about overtime. The Ministry of Magic has taken the lead in dividing time periods according to departments. Today we are just the first batch..."
Nagnok and Griphook, who were eager to know what exactly happened, ignored UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net. The Director of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports ordered a few words to other goblin supervisors to entertain these wizards, and then hurriedly walked to the customer rest area. , turned on the TV - they knew the reason for the other's attitude. Before and after the 1995 World Cup, this Ludo Bagman almost lost money because he failed in many bets with their fairies and owed them a large sum of money. He escaped and saved his honor and position only with the help of Harris.
On the TV, the host Furong was introducing a building on the floating city with excitement and pride.
The camera was panning to the south opposite the temple in the commercial plaza of Hogwarts' Floating City, which had become famous in a short period of time. After the black curtains were opened by magic, its true splendor became clear. Let all the fairies and goblins watching gasp.
The building has a truly striking silhouette, with the building formed by a ruler, two-legged ruler, interlocking hands and surrounded by triangles - a shape meant to mimic the omniscient sigil of the Harris family - with narrow bronze windows on a dark blue facade. To protect it from the scorching sun, the glass skylight at the top lets in natural light. The lines of the building match the color of Ravenclaw House, making its appearance similar to the striped border carvings on the raven.
What surprised the goblins was the bronze sign of the new building - Harris Wizard Bank - that was revealed on TV.
