All things are three at Hogwarts

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

At this time, the wizards watching from the outside of Gringotts Bank were pushed away, and Scrimgeour walked in from the crowd with a group of patrolling Aurors.

The director of the Auror Office took in the situation on the field with a pair of sharp eyes. He pondered for a moment, and in a tone that was different from his usual straightforward style, he asked with some stiffness and awkwardness: "Director Harris, do you know what is happening here? Already? What are you doing?"

"The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is performing official duties..." Lunn's eyes swept over the group of patrolling Aurors with alert eyes, "Director Scrimgeour... I don't remember that I notified you to come here."

"Wait... Director Harris..." Scrimgeour glanced around, and he quickly took a few steps closer to Lunn, covering his lips with his hand, and whispered: "Director Harris, I know you are here to collect Mysterious Man, Mysterious Man's Horcrux... But I think we can't just force our way into Gringotts..." He turned to look at Griphook and the goblins, and lowered his voice a little, "We can do our best in the future. Capture a dark wizard from the Lestrange family, and then use him to negotiate with the goblins... This way the goblins will 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? Len 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, sooner or later he will find a way to transfer the contents inside. If the time comes to find it again, it will not be so easy..."

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

"This is not an issue that you, as the director of the Auror Office, should consider." Lunn's tone became stronger. He narrowed his eyes slightly, "When did the Auror Office, a subsidiary agency of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, start teaching in turn? Is the Department of Magical Law Enforcement doing something?"

"Sorry, Director..." Seeing that Lunn was unable to persuade, Scrimgeour raised his head like a lion, "This is the duty of the Patrol Auror. The Patrol Auror is responsible for patrolling Diagon Alley and maintaining regional peace and tranquility... If anyone If you break into something in violation of the regulations, our patrol Aurors will naturally stop it."

"So the Director of the Auror Office intends to disobey orders? Do you want to oppose the arrest of the Dark Lord by the Ministry of Magic?" Lunn's voice was soft and slow, but it gave Scrimgeour a very strong sense of oppression.

"I am not disobeying orders. I am devoting myself to fighting against 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 brown hair followed. Shake, "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 risked his life. He didn't think it was a matter of right or wrong, but if Harris really broke into Gringotts so unscrupulously, in addition to the goblins, this would also be a provocation to the pure-blood families with treasury inside, so The consequences were more terrifying than a Dark Lord who dared not return to England. He even suspected that Harris's goal was that he came to disobey orders and wanted to oust him from the position of director of the Auror Office.

Several well-dressed wizards also squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers and refuted angrily.

"We strongly oppose any organization or individual using any means to appropriate or destroy our private property. Private property rights are sacred and inviolable."

"You have no right to come to Gringotts to take away personal property. No matter what the reason is, this kind of precedent cannot be set, otherwise next time the Ministry of Magic will be able to search wizards' private vaults for various reasons?!"

A witch with short blond hair and a buck-toothed wizard sang and excitedly announced that they were Annette Bobin and Marcus Flint.

Lunn recognized the identities of the two people. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and glanced at Griphook, who had a faint smile on his lips. He also smiled. The goblins seemed to have seized the time besides notifying Scrimgeour. Comrade 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. Only then did everyone discover that he was the daughter of a man whose daughter was expelled from Hogwarts last year and whose family was permanently expelled from Hogwarts. After the last meeting of the school board of directors, Ben Burstead, the patriarch of the rejecting Burst family, and his close comrade Paul Greengrass seemed to have compromised with Harris because of his daughter's condition, so throughout the summer None of them gave Harris the same trouble as before.

"Huh... If the safety of our private property cannot be guaranteed... Huh... That 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 country..." Ben Bosted threatened breathlessly.

However, this caused some sneers from the crowd below. Under Harris' suppression and exclusion, the Burst family had already invested abroad, and their daughter Millicent was forced to borrow Dumbledore, the former principal of Hogwarts. It is well known that he went to Beauxbatons in France to become a transfer student.

"If I remember correctly, I don't necessarily need to go to the vault in person, because Mrs. Weasley and the boy who helped the Potter family have withdrawn money." Lun ignored these pure-blood families and said something. The reason is not a reason, "So even though there is such a precedent, Gringotts is unwilling to support and set an example in fighting the Dark Lord?"

Seeing that there were more and more people watching, the goblins from before looked at each other and were forced to walk out.

"Director Harris, your family is also a user of Gringotts... It should be clear... that the size of the vault itself is different, and its level of security is also different. Among all vaults, the largest and best-protected vaults belong to those The oldest wizarding family is located on the deepest level. As it gets closer to the ground, the size of the vault will become smaller and there will be fewer security measures. The deep vault needs the goblin to touch the vault door to open it, while the shallow vault will The first-level vault only needs a key... According to the agreement, ordinary shallow users do not need too strict services in this regard." The goblin took out the rules that all wizards know and said once, "Of course, if If Director Harris can obtain the authorization from members of the Lestrange family, then he can indeed enter the Lestrange family's vault 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 legitimate interests of customers from losses and maintain the reputation of Gringotts, Gringotts will suspend payment and Savings deposits and withdrawals and other services." The goblin Griphook's dark face was very serious, and his pointed beard curled up and down with his words, "And before, our goblins discussed with Umbrella and Hogwarts in the Hogwarts Extension Area Due to the unstable situation, the goblins do not have the energy to protect the two banks at this moment, so they may have to give up on the matter of establishing a branch. The merchants who designed and planned the commercial district can only suffer more and run away. Running back and forth to Diagon Alley."

Now with the obstacles of patrolling Aurors and pure-blood families, these goblins began to drag ordinary wizards into the water. Knowing that Harris did not dare to continue to act arrogantly in this situation, and making up their mind that Harris must act with caution, Don't give the other party the idea of ​​​​attacking at another time next time.

The threat of goblins did make many onlookers change their irrelevant attitude, and a burst of discussion broke out. Most of the things in the shallow vaults owned by ordinary wizard families are more common. Some gold galleons and the like will not be like those ancient pure-blood families with enough family history and financial resources to possess dangerous items that are worthy of inspection by the Ministry of Magic, but now the threat of goblins has made them realize the reality. If the goblins Being really angered, even if it is not to the level of rebellion recorded in the history of magic, can make ordinary people like them uneasy.

"And the Ministry of Magic can use the excuse of attacking the Dark Lord today to randomly explore a family's treasury and 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 other things away in the future."

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

Bobin and Flint took the time to speak in a rhythm.

These threats succeeded in making it impossible for even those who originally supported Harris's action against the Dark Lord to stick to their own opinions.

"Director Harris, the Dark Lord doesn't dare to return to the UK now anyway..."

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

"Gringotts is not the International Federation of Wizards after all, and the previous Federation was at fault... We cannot be so arrogant."

At this time, Lunn seemed to have compromised under these strong resistances. He helplessly raised his arms to the armed Aurors behind him, and then began to withdraw from Gringotts.

It's just that when he was leaving, he was different from his usual calm style, and his voice was angry. The wizards on the outside could clearly hear his words: "Gringotts' behavior seems... 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 has indeed not been harmed because of my brother's protection. But the Dark Lord is raging in Europe, and your behavior is tantamount to murder!"
