Wizards of Hogwarts

Five fifty in the afternoon.

Elrohir appeared on time next to the entrance to the Sixth Trial Chamber. Near here was a very dark corridor with rough and thick stone walls, and simple wooden brackets with torches on them, and the light from the torches was dim. It's gloomy and makes people feel heavy.

Newt followed Elrohir, preparing to defend herself in the upcoming trial; Queenie, who was not very interested, was also brought here by Tina. After all, the two of them were the ones more familiar with American magical laws.

In front of a gloomy black wooden door with an animal-headed knocker, Elrohir and others stopped, exchanged glances, and then pushed the door open and entered the trial room.

Just like outside, the walls around the trial room are made of large pieces of pure black stone. The magic torches on the wall emit a faint yellow light, making it unclear who the shadow figures sitting on the bench are. who.

Elrohir's vision was not affected at all. He almost immediately saw Ms. Picquery sitting in the center of the front row, as well as Auror Susan Joansi, whom he had just met during the day, and several others. Aurors who met once in the subway station.

Seeing these top figures in the Magic Congress, Elrohir couldn't help but frown.

In his opinion, the standard of this trial was not high enough to attract so many powerful people, especially the Chairman of the Magic Congress, who had many things to do. He should not be here at all at this time.Shouldn't what Ms. Picquery have to do now is to deal with the aftermath of "Graves" or Grindelwald?

Newt and others also felt a little surprised, but in the end they said nothing due to the atmosphere in the courtroom.Newt patted Elrohir's arm and walked up to the jury box with Tina and Queenie.

Elrohir walked towards the wooden table with the "Defendant" sign on it, looking at the people in the room as he walked.

In addition to the wizards who were obviously dressed as Aurors, there was another group of characters in the room: they were short in stature, with sallow complexion, slender fingers and toes, and evil eyes flashing.

They are all fairies

Each goblin wears a large black robe. In order to reflect the sense of formality, a delicate silver "g" logo is embroidered on the left chest of the robe.That doesn't mean "goblin", but "Gringottswizardingbank".

Yes, these goblins are all from Gringotts Bank

However, is there one person missing? No, there is one goblin missing.

Elrohir looked at the empty plaintiff's bench on the left in confusion. Where had Narlak who was supposed to be sitting there gone? What's going on with the bastard goblin? Do you dare to let go of pigeons on such an occasion?

In other words, this goblin really regards himself as the protagonist and is preparing to make his final appearance.

"Very well, our Mr. Defendant has arrived." A cold voice came from Serafina Picqueri's mouth. She looked towards the Gringotts goblins with cold eyes, "Can any of you tell me? , where is Narlak, the accuser who caused this trial?"

An older-looking goblin wiped the sweat from his head and accidentally touched the fake beard on his chin: "Isn't it six o'clock yet? Maybe Narlak was delayed for something. "

Although he was trying to excuse Narlak, in fact, the old goblin had already scolded Narlak in his heart.

Goblins are magical creatures with high intelligence. They have their own unique language system and are good at metal processing, especially silverware making.In the field of finance and currency, fairies have higher talents and attainments than wizards.The Gringotts Wizarding Bank they operate controls the economic conditions of the global wizarding world to a large extent. Many countries even have this one and only bank, such as the old magic power United Kingdom, which is located on the north side of Diagon Alley. Gringotts is the only wizarding bank in the UK.

As the only race in the magical world that can create magical currency, goblins are legally recognized as having a right, that is, they can be in a permanent state of war with counterfeit currency makers.Faced with a wizard who dares to make counterfeit coins, goblins usually choose not to report the matter to the Ministry of Magic of various countries, but to directly exercise their "legal right of extermination."

Of course, such rights are not achieved peacefully.

In fact, although goblins and wizards coexist in the magical world, conflicts and bloodshed often broke out between goblins and wizards in history. Among them, the two most famous ones occurred in the 17th and 18th centuries, but that is a bit ridiculous. Far

Back to the present.

These goblins from Gringotts did not come to the Magic Congress for any random reason. They just wanted to use the name of this trial meeting to spy on the actual situation of the Magic Congress. , the fourth crime fabricated against Elrohir, "privately coining money," has always been the main excuse used by goblins to intervene in wizard affairs.

The goblins had no intention of doing this. Although the relationship between goblins and wizards in the United States is not bad, it is still better than other places in the world. But who let the Obscurus mess up New York into a mess yesterday? Woolen cloth

Originally, the goblins of Gringotts expected that the terrible consequences of yesterday's Obscurus incident would be beyond the ability of American wizards to bear. It is very likely that after they deal with the Obscurus, they will face a strong attack from the No-Maj police or even the army. .

Then, the Magical Congress, which cannot bear it anymore, will move. Anyway, they have done this at least five times in history.And because New York was so badly damaged, the panicked No-Maj authorities would definitely not allow even one wizard to appear in New York, and the Magic Congress would not allow wizards to come here for the sake of safety and concealment.

In this way, the goblins are likely to get a "wizard-free" city for nothing

They can even take this opportunity to break away from the shackles of the Magic Congress and establish a "state within a state" for goblins in the international city of New York.

Even if this thought just passed through their minds, most of the goblins would tremble with excitement.

Establishing a “state within a state”

This is comparable to Gringott's terrifying achievements in founding Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Legnarc I establishing the Goblin Kingdom.

But what the Gringotts goblins didn't expect was that the terrifyingly powerful Obscurus was solved, but who knew that even a city-destroying magic exposure incident could be solved so quickly?

Thinking of this, the old goblin's resentment towards Narlak couldn't help but become deeper.

If that idiot hadn't shouted that a wizard had violated its territory, Gringotts wouldn't have sent anyone to contact it, and the goblins wouldn't have appeared in batches at the wizard's headquarters at this embarrassing juncture.

The old goblin glanced at Ms. Picquery on the throne, and immediately saw the mocking look on her face that was half-smile but not a smile.

Damn it, this woman guessed what the goblin was thinking. The old goblin was furious. Why hasn’t that idiot Narlak come over to take the blame?
