Doomed to be an enemy

In the deserted Diagon Alley, 90.00% of the shops are closed, and only the joke shop of the Weasley Brothers is still supporting this once bustling commercial street.Gringotts is probably the only building that is reasonably lively.Among the occasional adult wizards, a boy with light brown hair stood out.

Seamus Finnigan hurried towards Gringotts, the shiny silver metal ball on his chest bouncing as he walked briskly - still in his Hogwarts robes.Seamus walked into the gate of Gringotts in two or three steps, ignoring the warning above, and squeezed in between a couple of wizards.

On the high platforms on both sides of the magnificent hall, there are goblins weighing gold and identifying gems.He came in just in time, when the last man was being led by the goblin to the vault.

"Hello, I'm going to underground vault No. 658." Seamus hurried over and said to the goblin sitting in the middle.

The other party's blue eyes stared at him through the long hooked nose. After a while, Seamus realized that he was asking for the key.He wiped his sweat, took out a small delicate brass key from his pocket and handed it over.The goblin reached out and took a look, then nodded.

"Karber." He called out and looked around, "Where did he go?" the goblin asked his companion, who shook his head.

Seeing this, Simo was a little anxious: "Can you take me there first? I'm in a hurry!" "Please wait a moment, Kabo—"

"Stop barking." A sharp voice interrupted all this.Dozens of goblins walked out of the arches in the back hall of Gringotts—Seamus had never seen so many goblins appearing together.

"Kurumok?!" The goblin holding Seamus's vault key was terrified, and then he yelled angrily, "You shouldn't be here! You don't have the qualifications!"

"Say it as if I really want to come." This elf named Kurumok is not very old, his eyes are a rare brown-gray, and his expression is a bit gloomy and arrogant. "Catch them!" As soon as the words fell, the goblins behind him rushed over quickly, and several goblins sitting on the high platform were shot down by magic, and the latecomers quickly tied them up with special ropes.Amidst the buzzing sound, all the Galleons on the table lit up, turned red, and rushed towards the attacker like a cannonball.Seamus dodged to the bottom of the wall with the other wizards in a panic, but he couldn't escape from Gringotts by taking advantage of the loopholes like these wizards. He had to get the money in the vault, oh, and he had to change it into pounds.

During the riot, these Gringotts goblins were all tied up with special ropes by the goblins brought by Kurumoc.

"How dare you!" Excited, the goblin threw the key in his hand at Kurumoc, and Seamo watched it fly past a group of goblins and land behind the counter.He walked around cautiously, and the key fell between the two seats, but the height of the counter was prepared for goblins, so Seamus could only lie on the seat with a sad face and slowly move forward.

"Shut up! I've long since disliked you."

Kurumok said sharply, "Yeri has been imprisoned by me, you should spend less effort." "Bastard! What have you done to the leader!" The goblin in Gringotts was shocked, and Kurumok smiled sullenly. , "If you are disobedient, I will tear his ears off."

"Brutal!"

Kurumok scoffed at the accusations, and at that moment a wizard walked in outside the gates of Gringotts, and he stopped abruptly, watching in astonishment. "Get out! Gringotts is closed today." Kurumok said coldly.The wizard opened his mouth wide and was about to retreat, "Avada Kedavra!"

A green light hit him.

This incantation startled Seamo, who had just got the key, and hid under the counter stiffly, not daring to move.

"Mr. Kurumok, you are too merciful." The elongated tone was very cold, and the sound of footsteps obviously had many wizards walking in.Seamus beat the drum secretly, even holding his breath.

Barty Crouch Jr. led nearly a hundred Death Eaters and stood at the door. The surrounding windows and doors were all sealed by magic.Then all the boxes containing magic items were lifted up, and all the things inside were exquisite and beautiful, and the magic power fluctuations were extremely strong.There were more than 30 boxes, and Kurumok's eyes flashed with greed.

"This is the magic item you want. I think Mr. Kurumoc should be ready for what we want." Barty Crouch Jr. came out more and more, with a strange smile on his face.What he said made Kurumok hesitate. To be honest, goblins are not a large number of races, and they were asked to leave one-third of them at once. Even those disobedient opponents made goblins a little reluctant.But these treasures that have been lost for a long time are right in front of him, and Kurumok doesn't want to lose them just like that. He is a little disappointed that the other party has brought so many wizards, and it is definitely not possible to grab them.

"Mr. Crouch, you came very suddenly, and I wasn't ready. Why don't I hand them over to you first, and I'll make up the rest next time?" Kurumok said tentatively.

Barty Crouch Jr. smiled: "This is not good. The master specifically ordered that the money be paid and the delivery be delivered." He looked helpless, "I don't want to experience the Cruciatus Curse, do you think so?"

Kurumok was silent. He had also experienced the Cruciatus Curse of the Dark Lord, so of course he knew it was better not to disobey it.

His expression was cloudy and uncertain, and he finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Karber, go and bring them here." "Ah? Who is it?" "Idiot! Those who are locked in the prison, go! You go too!" Ku Rumok said angrily.

Most of the goblins left through the archway.

Barty Crouch Jr. glanced at his appearance, feeling contemptuous in his heart.Then his eyes fell on the high platform on the right: "Before then, the little mice here should also be cleaned up."

Behind the counter, Seamo's cold sweat broke out immediately.

How to do?

Seamus was a little desperate for being forced to listen to a secret deal. Even if the Hogwarts neutrality treaty was valid, could these people let him go?

"Sophie, go and invite our friends out."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Seamus' heart was beating faster and faster. Finally, he took a deep breath and quietly took out his wand: "No, I'll come out by myself—"

The footsteps stopped, Seamus gritted his teeth and activated the metal ball on his chest.

"I'm a student at Hogwarts, and I'm here to withdraw money." He stood up tremblingly, condescending enough to see everything in the hall clearly.The death eaters were densely packed, and almost everyone's eyes were swept over, and Seamus felt a little limp. At most, DA was only facing the Boggart's dementors, how could it be so exciting...

"Student?" Barty Crouch Jr. repeated with a regretful tone. "What's your name?" "Seamo Finnigan." "You're a half-breed..." He drew a long breath, causing Seamo's heart to rise, and his hands hidden under the cabinet were covered with cold sweat. Holding the wand tightly, he deliberately exposed the silver metal ball on his chest.

"Yes, we can't hurt the students." Barty Crouch Jr. looked at Seamus maliciously, "But you've already seen what you shouldn't. Oh, you're still a Gryffindor."

Someone sneered: "Little Barty, just kill him." "The master ordered us to abide by the Hogwarts neutrality treaty." Barty Crouch Jr. gave the man a warning look, then turned to look at him again. Seamus, "Looks like you were lucky to open it at the first time." His eyes fell on the chest of the other party, to be exact, on the silver metal ball that was making a buzzing sound.

"I, I won't say it." Seamus swallowed.

Barty Crouch Jr. smiled, "Usually we only worry about death." His eyes turned around Seamus maliciously, "You said you came to withdraw money?"

Seamus nodded stiffly.

"I, I'm in a hurry..."

There was a burst of jeers from among the Death Eaters. "He said he was in a hurry—" someone shouted, drawing more jeers. "Mr. Kurumock, why don't you send a goblin down to help this poor kid, he looks terrified." Barty Crouch Jr. said slowly.He bent down and took out a crystal ball with a mithril base from a box, "Or I'll give him one of these."

Kurumok gave Seamus a gloomy look: "Bado, you go."

A goblin beside him had a look of disgust on his face. He came over and stretched out his hand to Seamus, and said stiffly, "The key."

"How much?"

"400 Galleons, I..."

Seamus put the key on the long and thin palm, opened his mouth, and was thrown aside by the impatient Bardo before he could finish speaking.He watched the goblin disappear from the entrance of the underground vault, and was a little distressed whether he should say that he was here to exchange pounds... The waiting time was always very long.

Just when Seamus was losing his composure, Bardo came back, holding an ugly money bag. "Here you are!" The goblin stuffed the money into his hand angrily.Simo glanced at the clock. There was not enough time for him to go to other places to exchange, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Please, please wait a moment."

In the quiet hall, everyone's eyes fell on him again.Simo suddenly trembled in his heart. "I'd like to change it to British pounds, thank you."

Barty Crouch Jr. didn't speak, but Kurumok said to Baddo irritably, "Do as he says." "But I don't know the pound." Baduo's face was a little wrinkled.Kurumok's chest rose and fell, pointing to a goblin who was bound up: "Ask him yourself."

After a while of stumbling, he finally stuffed a stack of banknotes into Seamo's hand.He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"that--"

"You're not finished yet!" Kurumok suddenly became angry.Seamus, who was being watched by everyone again, was about to cry. He whispered in fear, "I, can I go? I really—"

"Hurry up." Barty Crouch Jr. sneered.

Seamus nodded stiffly.

"No problem, let our little friend go." Barty Crouch Jr. said slowly after seeing that the time was almost up.He didn't really want to add extra details.

Not everyone among the Death Eaters obeyed him, they only made way for a narrow path that only one person could pass through.Seamo took a deep breath, thinking of his father who was waiting for the operation, gritted his teeth and endured the fear, walked down the high platform, and walked outside quickly.Suddenly a stone popped out of the ground, and Seamus tripped and stumbled, causing laughter.

——This is not considered to be attacked by magic.

Realizing this, Simo immediately got up and ran wildly. The ice picks falling behind him caused him to roll and crawl across the stone stairs at the door in a panic.
