The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

Voldemort's chamber was located at the top of Malfoy Villa.

He liked this feeling of being superior and was happy to keep a certain distance from the Death Eaters.

This helped to increase his power and gradually created a deified image in the hearts of the Death Eaters.

Of course, there is another benefit to doing this.

That's quiet and secluded enough.

It will make it easier for him to do some secret things and get a good rest.

However, just this morning, this tranquility was broken.

Countless high-pitched and shrill wails woke Voldemort from his sleep.

"Damn it! Why are they so crazy?"

Voldemort cursed and stood up, heading for the door.

He just thought that his group of men had so much fun last night that their rationality was swallowed up by alcohol and they came to his door to act wild.

In order to make these idiots sober up, he also picked up the wand beside the bed and prepared to teach them a lesson.

But when he actually opened the door, he was stunned.

Because at this moment, dozens of Death Eaters were kneeling neatly in the corridor, crying and howling. With such extremely sad looks, people who didn't know it might have thought that the Dark Lord had died!

When Voldemort appeared, the volume of the crying and howling at the scene suddenly increased by several levels.

Alex even pulled Voldemort's thigh and said with tears in his eyes:

"Master! You must make the decision for us! It's gone! The wealth we accumulated over the generations is all gone!"

Voldemort was even more confused now.

He kicked Alex away, picked up little Barty, and started asking.

After nearly 10 minutes of interrogation, Voldemort finally figured out what happened.

"Bella, your treasury was also ransacked?"

Voldemort said coldly.

"Yes...yes, Master, that's what the newspaper said..."

Bella stammered.

As for her husband, he was already lying on the ground shaking like chaff.

Upon hearing this, Voldemort's expression turned completely gloomy.

He clutched his wand tightly.

A pair of blood-red snake eyes glanced back and forth among the crowd.

Normally, the Death Eaters would never dare to act recklessly after Voldemort took such a stance.

You even have to hold your breath.

But now it's different.

Most Death Eaters are actually quite miserable.

During the reckoning more than ten years ago, although some people were imprisoned in Azkaban, others escaped justice.

But they all have one thing in common.

That is, the family assets have been plundered to a great extent.

That is to say, the goblins are stubborn enough and stingy enough to guard Gringotts's credit and wealth so that they are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic has no way to seize it.

Otherwise, many Death Eaters who originally came from wealthy families would have become paupers.

And now, even the little remaining wealth in Gringotts has been taken away.

This caused the Death Eaters to completely break their defenses.

All of them ignored everything and continued to pull at Voldemort's thigh, hoping that the Dark Lord would make the decision for them.

This time, Voldemort did not kick away these crying men.

He was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.

There are not many Death Eaters who have lofty ideals and want to rebuild a 'world of pure blood supremacy'.

The reason why most Death Eaters follow him is not only because they are afraid of his power, but also because they want to seek glory and wealth so that their declining class can rise to a higher level.

But now everyone is fooling around with him, and without getting the glory and wealth, they themselves will become paupers first!

Who is willing to follow him?

If he didn't handle this matter well, it might cause the Death Eaters to fall apart!

And more importantly.

What he hid in Bella's vault was a Horcrux!

It's his life!

As a result, those robbers even took his life away!

"enough!"

Voldemort gave a sharp shout, finally calming down the chaotic scene a little.

Facing the eyes full of expectation and pleading, Voldemort took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"I will handle this matter. Just wait for my news."

After saying that, Voldemort flicked his wand, and his whole body turned into a ball of twisted black smoke, and quickly disappeared.

Wait until he shows up again.

Voldemort has appeared in an old castle thousands of miles away.

With a sullen face, he quickly walked through the marble corridor and entered a room.

In the room, the monster-masked goblin was slumped in the withered soft chair in front of the fireplace, sighing.

Voldemort's sudden appearance startled him.

But after seeing clearly that the person had a face without a nose and hair, he relaxed again.

"It's the Dark Lord. You came just in time. I just contacted the board of directors in France... I was severely punished. I have to say, you are really cruel this time!"

The Monster Mask Goblin sighed, "I must admit that you won this time. On behalf of the French board of directors, I can agree to your request.

As long as you hand over John Shafiq to us, while maintaining all the current rights of the goblins in the country, including minting rights, economic rights, and operating rights, are intact.

In addition, the goblins are allowed to obtain the same status and privileges as those of the twelve holy pure-blood families in the newly established magical kingdom after you.

Then we can provide you with resource assistance worth one hundred thousand Galleons, as well as assist you in seizing control of the Ministry of Magic and killing Dumble..."

"Shut up! I'm not here to discuss cooperation with you!"

Voldemort gritted his teeth and said.

"Forehead--"

The monster mask goblin shook his head and said in pain, "So you mean you still want to increase the price? This is really a bit too much..."

"I told you! I'm not here to talk about cooperation with you!" Voldemort roared, "If you want to cooperate, you must first return to us all the wealth that the Death Eaters have stored in Gringotts!"

"But the problem is, haven't you already robbed the treasure in Gringotts' underground vault?"

As he spoke, the monster-masked goblin tilted his head, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and swayed slightly.

Even though he was wearing a mask, you could tell that he was really confused at the moment.

Voldemort almost laughed in anger.

He directly put the tip of the staff on the forehead of the monster-masked goblin and said loudly:

"Don't pretend to be stupid! We didn't touch the underground vault at all. You will only be the ones to empty the underground vault!"

"This is impossible!" The monster-masked goblin swore as he slapped his chest, "We will never attack the money in the underground vault!"

"Oh! We Death Eaters haven't touched it, so where did the treasure in the vault go? Could it be that it flew away on its own?"

"Could it be John Shafiq..."

"You are exactly like my subordinates who like to shirk responsibility! John Shafiq is always there when anything happens! It's like John Shafiq is an omnipotent devil who can do any bad thing! You too Don’t think about it, no matter how talented he is, he is still young, what can he accomplish?”

"But I just have some doubts..."

"Okay then! I'll tell you directly! I arranged for someone to monitor John Shafik during the operation yesterday! They made it very clear to me when they came back. John and Michael stayed in the Gringotts hall the whole time. Slaughter the goblins! Where did they find the time to rob the Gringotts vault and steal so much in one go?"

The monster mask goblin was silent.

If Voldemort's statement was followed, then John might really have nothing to do with this matter.

And if it wasn't John who did it, the biggest remaining suspect would be the goblin.

But he, the person in charge of the Goblin Foundation, didn't know about this at all.

So, could it be the local goblin from Gringotts who did it?

After all, the benefits of doing so are huge.

Anyway, after the attack on Gringotts, the security and credit system built up over the past few hundred years completely collapsed.

There will definitely be many wizards coming to withdraw money and find other safer places to deposit money.

And since all this money has to be taken away.

So why not take advantage of this perfect attack opportunity to empty all the contents of the vault first, and then put the blame on the Death Eaters?

In this way, the wealth can continue to remain in the hands of the Gringotts goblins.

Monster Mask Goblin The more I think about it, the more it seems possible.

After all, he is also a goblin himself, so he has a full understanding of the greed of goblins.

Given the character of goblins, the possibility of doing such a thing at great risk is very high.

"Uh... well, this matter... is indeed not done by us." The monster masked goblin said, "But it may be... by the local goblins from Gringotts... We are two groups, not one group. …”

"In short, the Death Eaters' money was stolen by the goblins! Then the goblins must pay it back!" Voldemort said with a ferocious smile, "Since you said it was stolen by the goblins of Gringotts, then go and get it from them! If not Come back and put it on your own!

I only give you one week!

After this time, not only is there no need to discuss cooperation, I will also personally go to France to get the money back! "

After saying this, Voldemort's figure twisted and disappeared again.

The monster-masked goblin was left standing there dumbfounded.

After a long time, the monster-masked goblin screamed and collapsed to the ground.

It is different from the sadness of monster masks and goblins.

At the same time, Hogwarts was filled with joy.
