Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 161 Public Opinion News
"I'm talking about cups, is your method feasible?" An old goblin said while circling his thumb.

"According to our inventory of all the vaults of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, we found that there are as many as 807 unclaimed vaults. The estimated value of all the treasures is about 9500 million Galleons. After the debt is exchanged, there will be about 6000 million Galleons left. Boss .Do it!' said the goblin mug

Due to the massive collapse of the American Muggle Bank, the American branch of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank is short of money.Due to the sudden blow, the goblins had to choose this method of drinking poison to quench their thirst to delay time.And the fewer goblins who know about it, the better.

"If something goes wrong, you will take the blame yourself! Tell everyone and start taking action!"

"Is this a conspiracy? Is this a conspiracy against us?" a goblin asked.

"It's not like." Niels shook his head. "This matter was caused by Muggles and has nothing to do with wizards, so we didn't pay too much attention to it."

In a room at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Witchcraft cast the Infinity Stretch Charm.

Except for the goblins from Gringotts Wizarding Bank, other shops in Diagon Alley, staff of the Ministry of Magic, and people from all walks of life gathered here.

Harry Potter, President of the Justice League of Hogwarts Wizards, speaks:
"I want to tell you a piece of sad news. When you know the news, the slightest few words can make your soul fly away, make your calm blood boil like boiling water! make your eyes seem to be derailed bulging forward like the planet of yours, parting your tangled curls and standing up like the quills of an angry porcupine! Do you read the papers? The Muggle banks of America are collapsing for economic reasons. The indirect effects of The branch of Gringotts Wizarding Bank in the United States. Currently, because of this reason, the bank is unable to issue funds! And the reserve fund is gone! (Riot, discussion!) The goblins of the American branch of Gringotts Wizarding Bank are in a few days For this reason, I was kidnapped by furious American wizards. The American wizards demanded a ransom of 100 million galleons from the headquarters of Gringotts Bank in the UK! This is not a big deal, but! Here is the problem! The goblins of the bank want to use the gold coins that our wizards keep in the bank as a ransom! This is something that harms the interests of our wizards! We can't bear it! (Curse sound!) These things are not fictional! It's a fact! According to inquiries from insiders The news said that these shameless goblins even used part of the Death Eaters' treasury and Voldemort's treasury in order to repay their debts! It is said that they even gave a Hufflepuff gold cup to an American wizard for [-] million Galleons There, the goods will be shipped tomorrow! Faced with such a thing, we must not sit still! Watching these greedy goblins empty our treasury! Absolutely not! (Approval!) Then what should we do? ( "Hit to Gringotts!") Yes! Hit to Gringotts. Get back our gold coin treasure! Safeguard our legal rights! (Cheers!) Hit to Gringotts!" Right here At that moment, a few passers-by in black came out quietly.

Malfoy Manor.

"Crack!" A loud noise made the three Death Eaters tremble in fright.

"It's true?" Voldemort roared angrily.

"Yes... yes... master... Harry Potter... from his own mouth."

"Goblins, those greedy, lowly low creatures, have been crawling on the bodies of noble wizards to suck blood for hundreds of years." Voldemort said with a sullen face, "This history should end, and those low animals should be imprisoned. cage, working as slaves for our noble wizards."

When the Death Eaters below heard this, they felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.Voldemort glanced at the Death Eaters on either side of the long table.The Death Eaters knew that their master was about to give an order, so they straightened up immediately.

Gringotts!What a big piece and what a flavorful broth is that?Who wouldn't want a bite?Even if it's just leftover water, it's still a huge amount of gold coins!Although magic is the foundation of everything for wizards, no one thinks money is too small.

Then Voldemort ordered: "Severus, you reply to our internal response at Hogwarts, and we agree to cooperate to attack Gringotts around August [-]th!"

"Lucius, you start picking people today."

"Nott, Gore, Dolohov, and Crabbe. The four of you will closely monitor every move of Gringotts Bank starting today! If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"

"Ahem! Master. I apply to attack Gringotts!" Bellatrix said flatteringly.

"You follow me and make a move at the last moment!"

The orders were issued one after another, and the Death Eaters whose names were called stood up one after another to accept the orders.

Finally, Voldemort said: "I want Gringotts and the corpses of Gringotts goblins as your Ghost Festival present to me."

All the Death Eaters: "...What is Zhongyuan?"

(The August 1997th mentioned here is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, but August [-]th in [-], the thirteenth day of the seventh lunar month in the lunar calendar, Wushen month, Ji Chou day.

Two days later is August [-]th, the traditional Chinese ghost festival, the Ghost Festival.On the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Ding Chou Year, Wushen Month, Xinmao Day. )
Unlike the Ministry of Magic in other countries or regions that used moderate economic and administrative means to attack the local Gringotts, Comrade Lao Fu took the most brutal and straightforward approach to seize control of Gringotts.Kill all the goblins, then Gringotts will naturally fall into his hands.If the goblins dare to launch a rebellion or take any action, they have to ask whether the wands/swords in the hands of the Death Eaters and members of the Justice League of Hogwarts Wizards are sharp?
Just when the Gringotts executives were about to quietly plan to save money in the depositors' vaults, wizards who had been educated (gu) educated (huo) came to Gringotts with bags that had been cast with the traceless stretching spell Asking to evacuate the contents of their own vaults.

An unknown wizard came to Gringotts with a document written on ancient parchment. This document issued by Gringotts in the mid-eighteenth century stated that the person who held the document was a certain The rightful heir to the ancient family coffers.

Such documents are generally issued by wizards without heirs during their lifetime, and they are awarded as their own inheritance to the designated heirs or godchildren.For example, in the original book, Sirius Black made a will before his death and left all the property of 12 Grimmauld Place, including Kreacher, to his godson Harry Potter.

But some heirs are sometimes not eager to take out the inheritance because they are not short of money for the time being.Just put the folder in the book, or store it somewhere.

Sometimes there will be things that the holder does not tell the descendants for various reasons, and there have been many stories of the descendants accidentally discovering the inheritance documents hidden by the ancestors and getting rich overnight.You can check it yourself.Historically,
The receptionist at the front desk, the goblin, finally confirmed the authenticity and validity of this document from a pile of yellow and blackened torn papers after some searching, and found out that there were more than 100 extra coins in the vault. Long.

It's just that a little accident occurred in the inheritance of this treasury.According to the records of the Gringotts headquarters, the heir to the treasury disappeared not long after graduating from Hogwarts, and there has been no news for hundreds of years, so Gringotts believes that the heir is dead.Therefore, the goblins who were eager to raise ransom did not hesitate to "borrow" the gold coins in the vault. At the same time, for the sake of confidentiality, they did not report this matter to the goblins at the front desk.

It's just that the goblins forgot that in that era, besides accidental death, one of the wizards who hadn't heard from them might have gone on a long voyage with the Muggle captain as a doctor or sailor.Stay in Brazil or the United States as a manor...

So when some wizards who thought they found the golden house from the books at home stood in front of the empty vault, the wizards were so frightened that their legs were weak.This was a big blow to some wizards who were dubious about the goblins using the gold coins in their own vaults to raise ransom! ! !

Wizard (°皮°): "You guys are robbery!"

Fairy Receptionist ∑(дlll): "I don't know!"

(`Д)o——Avada Kedavra→_(з」∠)_
In less than half an hour, the news spread across the land of Britain, and a more violent wave of runs hit Gringotts.

"Open the door! You scumbags! Scum! Running dogs! Vampires on wizards! Give me back my hard-earned money!"

At this time, thousands of wizards outside the gates of Gringotts Bank were beating desperately on the gate and yelling and cursing.

In a luxuriously decorated office at the Gringotts headquarters, the high-level goblins of Gringotts are discussing countermeasures.

"Where's that cup? Where did it go? Find it!" Gringotts' current boss, Grad, kept yelling.

Looking out the window, he could see Diagon Alley in front of Gringotts was packed with people.There were shouts and curses, and even some stones and rotten eggs were thrown on the windows.

A group of goblins who witnessed the goblin receptionist being killed by a wizard just now are hugging and shivering.

At this time, the door of the office opened, and a goblin with an extremely pale face came in.When the goblins in the office saw his expression, their hearts were filled with chills.

"The mysterious man reached an agreement with Hogwarts and decided to send a team of six to negotiate with us. The time is set at three o'clock this afternoon. It will be at Ollivander's wand shop in two hours."

Grad quickly regained his composure and asked, "What is their request?"

"All assets, they want to buy the real estate in our hands, as well as the equity we invested in." The goblin said with a wry smile.

Grad leaned back in his chair and was silent for a while.Soon, he made up his mind.

"Ratan, you can go talk to them with the contract. As long as their demands are not too excessive, you can agree to them and try to bring back the gold coins in their hands before noon. As long as Gringotts is still alive, there will be more people in the future." other ways."

"You take 1000 Galleons, go to Rita Skeeter, and ask her to write a news article for us immediately, telling wizards all over the UK, Europe, and the world that Gringotts still has sufficient funds to let wizards We don't need to rush to take all the money. You-Know-Who and Hogwarts are spreading fake news, then go to the Daily Prophet, no matter how much money. Make sure they put the news written by Rita Skeeter in Headlines. Then take the news to continental Europe, America and Asia. Pay what they want, don't waste your time haggling, what we need now is time."

"Continue to draw funds from other countries in Europe. The sooner the better!"

After Grad gave the order, he leaned back on the chair tiredly and sighed deeply.

"What we lack now is time."
