A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 638: Protect our Draco, the values ​​of goblins

"Because I told you." Aaron smiled casually.

Draco stood up in surprise, his pupils trembling violently.

He was indeed frightened, not because of what Aaron said, but because he sounded exactly like Gandalf.

"You, you, you..." After saying the word 'you' several times in a row, Draco still couldn't speak clearly. After all, the amount of information contained in this voice was too great.

"Don't be nervous." Aaron took out a bottle of wine with a tranquilizer label and two glasses from Abe's pocket. After pouring two glasses, he picked up one and took a sip, then pushed the other glass to De Raco came forward.

"Tranquilizer beer, you need to calm down."

Draco nodded blankly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His mood was indeed much calmer.

"Are you Gandalf?" Draco asked, looking closely into Aaron's eyes.

"To be precise, the Gandalf you saw is me." Aaron didn't mean to hide it. "I left Hogwarts not long after the beginning of last semester and joined Harry as Gandalf. ·Potter’s Team.”

"Is it because of Hermione Granger?"

“Not just for her, but for myself.

You should know that I signed a contract with Voldemort. Dumbledore is dead. If Harry Potter's shield is broken again, it will be my turn. Aaron shrugged nonchalantly, "So while taking good care of Hermione, I also want to protect the troubled Harry Potter." "

"Why do you feel there is such a big difference?"

"Taking care of Hermione means that she eats well, sleeps well, and doesn't let her get hurt at all, and Harry Potter... As long as he can't die, I don't care about missing arms or legs. As for other people's lives, It doesn’t matter.”

Harry Potter:…

Ron Weasley: ...

"I still don't understand something. One of the missions of the Carlo brothers and sisters is to monitor you. Logically speaking, if you join Potter's team, you won't be able to show up at Hogwarts."

"This involves a very special magic." Aaron said mysteriously, "Separating one's own magic power to create a clone that is exactly the same as the original body without any flaws.

The clone confuses the public at Hogwarts, and the real body changes his identity outside. Who would know that Aaron Gaius has left Hogwarts! "

Hearing this, Draco's eyes widened in shock, "You are really, really tall!"

"I think so too." Aaron was not modest at all, "But now that I'm back, Gandalf will never appear again."

“What do you mean it won’t show up?

Is Gandalf dead? Does Nayak Mohns know? "

"Uh... this has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it."

Draco pursed his lips, speechless.

His current situation is very dangerous, like walking on a tightrope.

If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. You really don’t have time to worry about others.

"You asked me to go back to Hogwarts, and you said you could protect me. You weren't lying, right?" Draco asked with some anxiety.

"What's the benefit of me lying to you?" Aaron rolled his eyes and said, "Dumbledore said that if you want to completely kill the Dark Lord, following the prophecy is the safest way.

By the way, let me tell you a secret that no one else knows, Dumbledore knew before he died that the Dark Lord would go to his tomb to get the Elder Wand. "

"Then why did he..." Draco's voice stopped abruptly as a ridiculous, yet reasonable and terrifying guess emerged in his mind.

"Fuck! Dumbledore really deserves to die!

He did it on purpose at the time, so I said that he was also a famous magician, and no matter how weak he was, he would not be defeated by me with a simple disarming spell. "

"It's too late to understand now. You are already the master of the Elder Wand." Aaron sighed slightly, "He may not have wanted to trick you. This pot was originally prepared for Professor Snape, but you beat him to it. One step forward.

But judging from Voldemort's character, as long as you are suspicious, no matter whether you are the owner of the Elder Wand or not, he will kill you without hesitation.

However, his position was too high. Even if he understood the process of identifying the Elder Wand's owner later, he would first kill Professor Snape who killed Dumbledore.

If this still doesn't allow him to control the Elder Wand, he will remember that you slipped through the cracks, and that will be the end of the Malfoy family. "

Draco slumped on the sofa helplessly, "What should I do?"

"Don't do anything."

Draco:......

"Are you serious? This joke is not funny at all. What is the difference between this and waiting to die?"

"Stay in Hogwarts, stay away from Malfoy Manor, which is set up as the headquarters of the Death Eaters, and reduce your presence as much as possible.

Just act as you should normally, and don't act too worried, as that will just arouse suspicion. "

"But this doesn't give me any sense of security." Draco said anxiously.

"You heard me right." Aaron patted him on the shoulder, "You came to school yesterday, but you should have noticed that Hogwarts is missing a lot of familiar faces!

They are all hidden by me, in a very safe place, where the Order of the Phoenix is ​​also. "

Draco's expression moved slightly, "Then I also..."

"You can't." Aaron waved his hand and interrupted, "Of course I can send you to the shelter, but not now.

You are the heir of the Malfoy family. If you disappear, our two Professor Carlo will immediately send the news back to Malfoy Manor. "

"How long will it take?"

"Of course it will be before the decisive battle." Aaron said matter-of-factly, "That's when I will take you to the sanctuary and tell the Order of the Phoenix Dumbledore's full plan.

Once they know that the Elder Wand is Voldemort's greatest weakness as long as you are alive, everyone will do their best to protect you. "

"hehe!"

The corners of Draco's mouth twitched, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

His parents were veteran Death Eaters, and it sounded particularly awkward for the Order of the Phoenix to protect the son of a Death Eater.

"They won't abuse me, right?"

“The shelter is my territory, and I brought you there, who dares?

Besides, the Malfoy family bought precious time for Harry Potter and the others to escape. For this reason alone, you are the heroes.

Even if the dust settles, you will all be able to successfully clear your name at the Wizengamot Trial. "

Draco nodded blankly, picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.

After calming down his complicated mood a little, he looked at Aaron hesitantly, "Can Crabbe and Goyle go to the shelter with me?"

"Huh?" Aaron blinked and then laughed dumbly, "You are really loyal."

"After all, they have been following me since they were little."

"Okay." Aaron said nonchalantly, "But the two of them are different from you. They need to sign a special contract, otherwise no one will be relieved."

"That's no problem, they will still listen to what I say."

...

Shenming Palace.

After a night's rest, Harry Potter, Ron and Luna came to the infirmary to visit Griphook and Grigovitch.

"Hi!" Gregovich simply greeted.

"Mr. Grigovitch, we need your help with something," Harry said.

"Please tell me." Gregovich immediately sat up straight, "As long as I can do it, it is absolutely my duty."

"We need some wands," Luna said. "My wand was taken away by the search team, and Harry's wand..."

"Here." Harry reluctantly handed his broken wand to Grigovitch and asked cautiously: "Can you repair it?"

"I'm afraid not." Gregovich looked embarrassed. "If it's just a minor damage, I can repair it, but this wand... I can't do anything about it."

"Mr. Potter, I'd like to take the liberty of asking.

This wand seems to have the same core as the mysterious man's wand. Could it be the twin wand? "

"that's it."

A flash of worry flashed in Grigovitch's eyes, "What a pity."

"I know what you are worried about." Harry smiled bitterly, "But even if it is not destroyed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help me resist the Dark Lord.

He found the thief who had stolen the Elder Wand and had obtained it. "

"Sorry." Grigovitch lowered his head in shame, "He tortured me, and I had to tell him what I knew, but I never thought he could really find it."

"This is all over." Harry said, pretending not to care, "We need new wands now."

"As long as there are enough materials, I can work at any time, and I can hand over the new wand to you tomorrow at the latest."

"Thank you." Luna smiled lightly, "I think Aaron's materials room can find any tools you need, and they will be sent to you later."

After solving the wand problem, Harry turned his attention to Griphook.

"How's your recovery going?"

"good."

"You may not remember."

"I remember." Griphook said, "I showed you the way when you first came to Gringotts. Even among goblins, Harry Potter is very famous."

Harry looked at him deeply, hesitated for a while and then asked: "We need some help, you can provide it."

Griphook was unmoved, obviously knowing that Harry Potter's favor was not that easy to help, and he had no reason to help Harry Potter.

"We need to get into Gringotts," said Ron. "Bellatrix Lestrange, the vault of the mad woman who tortured me."

"This is impossible." Griphook said calmly, "Gringotts' defense measures are the most stringent."

"But someone broke in seven years ago." Ron curled his lips, "And he escaped unscathed."

"That's because the vault is empty." Griphook's voice became more harsh, "There are almost no protection measures, and of course we didn't expect anyone to go back and rob an empty vault.

But Bellatrix's treasury is different, and its defensive measures are the most stringent. "

"You have no chance at all." Griphook said seriously, "If you want to take away a piece of wealth that never belonged to you from our underground vault.

Thief, you have been warned.

Be careful not to attract treasure, but evil retribution. "

"I know this," Luna said. "There are words like this engraved on the door of Gringotts."

"That's a warning to thieves, to people who want to get something for nothing."

"But we're not here for the treasures, and we didn't enter the vault to take anything for ourselves." Harry said seriously.

"I take your word for it, Harry Potter, but you're still out of luck."

"It's okay with you," Harry said, "As long as you're willing to help us."

"The goblins are indeed the ones who know Gringotts best. I even know some of the traps inside, but why should I help you?" Griphook rubbed his long fingers, "The goblins of Gringotts will think this is despicable. betrayal."

"Does it count for the rights of goblins?" Luna said, "Under the rule of the Dark Lord, goblins have a hard time, otherwise you wouldn't have escaped from Gringotts."

"Don't talk to me about those useless things, little girl." Griphook sneered, "The status of goblins is not much lower than before. I just left Gringotts when I couldn't stand the wizards."

"We have gold, lots of gold," Harry said hesitantly.

"Yes, you can pick whatever you want after entering Bellatrix's vault." Ron said.

Griphook's face turned red and he cursed angrily: "I am not a thief, and I will not take other people's wealth for no reason. Besides, I am not without gold."

"Then what do you want?" Ron asked.

"The sword." Griphook said firmly, "Gryffindor's sword."

Hearing this, Harry's heart skipped a beat, "That won't work. Gryffindor's sword belongs to Gryffindor House. It belongs to Godric Gryffindor..."

"It's not." Griphook's voice rose a little higher, "The sword belonged to King Legnac I, but it was taken away by Gryffindor.

It is the treasure of our goblins, a rare masterpiece, but it has always been possessed by wizards. "

Harry was still about to argue, when Grigovitch said: "Mr. Potter, goblins have a very different understanding of property ownership than wizards.

From the wizard's point of view, Godric Gryffindor paid the goblins to make the sword for him, so he is the sword's owner.

But for goblins, the rightful owner of any thing is its maker, not the buyer.

In other words, goblins believe that anything made by goblins belongs to goblins.

The wizard's purchase is just a form of leasing. "

The three people looked at each other, this explanation really subverted their cognition.

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Griphook asked confidently, "Godric Gryffindor paid the rent, but after his death he did not return the sword to the goblin. What is the difference between this and theft?"

"But the sword is really important to us." Harry said, resisting the urge to complain, "Can it be exchanged for another reward? We can find ways to find other treasures."

Hearing this, Griphook fell into silence.

After struggling for a while, the corner of his mouth raised a strange arc, "Besides Gryffindor's sword, you have two other things that can impress me."
