Doomed to be an enemy

"What's the matter recently, Taiping is outrageous." In the cafeteria, Ron poked the sausage on the plate with a fork boredly. "Have vampires suddenly evaporated from the world?" "Do you think that might happen?" Hermione sat down next to them, and she picked up a pile of food, pasta, sausage, mashed potatoes, vegetables... and two small bread.It looked like she was starving. "Not many wizards have escaped - compared to the numbers recorded in France, so there must be something in the way."

"They don't necessarily have to be here," Ron muttered.

"It seems you haven't heard the radio, Ronald." Hermione lowered her voice, and Ron couldn't help leaning over to listen. "Cheria boasted that this place is a flower. I've seen the original manuscript." Haha When Li put the plate next to them, the two close friends immediately straightened their bodies, "Harry." "You seem to be late today." Harry, who was preoccupied, was also amused by the unanimous appearance of the two of them.

"Maybe I should be later?" he joked.

Hermione glared at a silly Ron.

"Actually, there is a reason." Harry seemed to have no appetite, so he simply pushed the plate away and put his elbows on the table, "Mr. Moody sent a new secret letter today." Harry took out With a wave of his wand, he cast a Silencing Charm around, "As for the goblin matter, the Order of the Phoenix has been paying attention to this matter since Hermione sent a greeting letter back with an owl. Until yesterday, they confirmed that Gringotts was closed and food Dead Apostles."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Ron's expression was a bit unbelievable, "Could it be that they attacked Mr. Guring?!" Hermione frowned, and said slowly: "When I first came to the wizarding world, I wondered why the only bank was controlled by goblins. With the personality of a mysterious person, it is not surprising that he reached out to Gringotts. It’s just that Gringotts of goblins is a topic left over from the history of magic—they signed a contract with wizards after the last goblin rebellion, and wizards promised not to interfere with the operation of Gringotts, but Gringotts has to be just and forever owned by the goblins. That barely keeps the goblins in the wizarding world - given how badly they lost their last war."

Harry's history of magic has always been bad, and Hermione's words are much more detailed.He listened carefully, and said, "Then what can Voldemort interfere with? I guess this contract is valid for all wizards."

Ron shivered when he heard the name: "What can be done? Oh, Harry, stop kidding. Gringotts is in charge of all wizards' property. Even if it can't be embezzled, it's still possible to freeze the investigation. And Gringotts' operating rules do not It's not something that can't be changed."

Hermione glanced at him in surprise, and couldn't help but smile, "You're all right."

Harry was a little worried: "This information was sent in a secret letter of the highest standard. It's amazing. It's still in a state of secrecy and not many people know about it. Most wizards really think it's Gringotts' internal maintenance and rectification. But it can't be hidden for long." He rubbed his forehead with a headache, "For this kind of thing, either Voldemort will become the public enemy of all wizards, or grab everyone's weakness to gain greater support."

"Although it's a bit demoralizing to say so, the latter is obviously more likely." Hermione frowned.

"How's your Occlumency going?" Harry asked suddenly.

The two friends looked at each other and realized why they sat up straight. "It should be fine, is there anything important?" Ron swallowed.

"Half a month after Gringotts was shut down, Kurumok, the leader of the goblins, approached the Order of the Phoenix on his own initiative. He wanted to see me."

There was a moment of silence at the news.

Harry waited until they were both more or less digested, and went on, "The secret letter says he's in a bad situation - mentally. He won't say anything."

Harry is currently the only one capable of long-distance apparation.When the golden halo of runes flashed at the gate of LeMay Manor, three figures appeared from the thin air.Hermione slowed down, and waved her wand to reveal the time, "We still have two hours, it's best to get back before then."

Not long after, the elf from LeMay Manor appeared at the door: "Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger... Please come in, the master is waiting for you in the living room." It bowed deeply.Harry couldn't help thinking of Dobby, nodded to it, and dragged Hermione, who was still about to say something, to the living room together. "Don't forget, hurry up." Ron added on the sidelines.

Walking into the foyer without any risk, Sia Flamel was standing in front of the fireplace, and saw them greet each other: "Long time no see, both of you." "Mr. Flamel." Ron grinned.Hermione raised an eyebrow and glanced at Harry calmly.The latter walked into the living room unconsciously.It was found that not only Sia LeMay was there, but Alastor Moody was also waiting for them.The old Auror's magical eye rolled around, and finally stopped to stare at Harry:

"It's worse than expected."

After hearing this, there was a loud cough from the sofa.It attracted everyone's attention.

A goblin named Kurumok, with squat ears, grizzled hair, and rumpled, torn clothes, was staring at Harry.His condition was indeed not very good, his eyes were obviously bloodshot, his skin was abnormally white, and he looked very weak.

"Mr. Harry Potter?" There seemed to be water in his brown-gray eyes.

"Yes, I am," said Harry.

The goblin's spirit improved a lot almost immediately.Sia Lemay thoughtfully used her wand to summon a few armchairs for them and put them in front of the fireplace: "This is the elf Kurumoc, who is also the current elf leader. Would you like some black tea?" "Of course, this Probably a longer conversation," Moody said.

Harry had no objection: "Thank you then." He said politely.

"Uh... Please add some ginger juice, the water should be warmer, thank you." Hermione replied sheepishly.Sia Flamel gave her a friendly smile, "No problem, then, Mr. Weasley?" "Same as her." Ron said subconsciously.Hermione looked at him speechlessly, and Sia Flame held back a smile, "Okay, then I'll add some brown sugar by the way."

Ron looked at them inexplicably, did he say something wrong?

Harry was grateful, although he also didn't know what Ron said wrong.He picked an armchair opposite the goblin and sat down.Ron and Hermione sat next to him. "Well, Mr. Kurumock, may I call you that?"

The goblin nodded.

"I know what you want to ask." His voice was sharp, but he couldn't hide the depression in it. "I'm a total loser."

"I've heard that Gringotts is closed - for the first time in history, can you clear that up for me?" Harry said softly.

"Shut down? Yes, of course... I think it will be able to work again soon." Kurumok smiled strangely, "The Dark Lord lied to me, he is a liar!" Seemingly suppressed for a long time, Kurumok Rumok's chest heaved violently, and then he came back to his senses, "I can tell you everything, but I need help, otherwise I won't say it."

"You have no choice," Moody said suddenly.

Kurumok sneered: "I have nothing, but you don't. You value Gringotts more than I do." He seemed to realize that his tone was wrong, and paused, "I didn't mean to threaten, It’s just that I can’t do it on my own.”

"It's about Voldemort." Harry said firmly.

The living room was silent for a while because of this name, and Kurumok gritted his teeth and nodded.

Harry looked into his red eyes: "I can't promise something I don't know, can you tell me, what help do you need?"

Kurumok looked at him for a while, and said a shocking news.

"I hope you can put pressure on the Dark Lord, or negotiate... to stop his atrocities against goblins."

Moody put down the cup with a condensed expression.Harry asked subconsciously. "What atrocity?"

Mentioning this, Kurumok's eyes turned red. "A few days ago, our place of residence was attacked by goblins controlled by a group of Death Eaters, and they captured all my kind." He stared at his fingers, his tone trembling, "I saw shameful magic on them Branding, the Death Eaters want to turn the goblins into vile slaves! They've already succeeded halfway, and now that almost all the goblins have been captured by them, I think it won't be long before their vile wish will be granted."

The residence of the goblins has always been well hidden, and no one can get in except the goblins.This has always been their favorite place.Therefore, there have been so many goblin rebellions in history, and wizards have nothing to do with goblins.They are greedy, ambitious, good at discovering wealth and identifying ores, and have excellent casting talents, which makes wizards reluctant and unable to exterminate this race.

Ron gasped.

"He captured all the goblins?!"

Harry opened his mouth, it wasn't a violent incident like massacre as he had guessed.But he was not at all happy about it.A coldness seeped into the limbs from the bottom of my heart.

After a while, Hermione said with difficulty, "What's going on?"

Kurumok said nothing, but stared at Harry closely.His fingertips curled up from the cold, and Harry himself didn't realize how ugly his face was: "I can try to stop him, but I can't guarantee success." Voldemort is not a person who can be easily changed , if he has planned it for a long time, it is even more impossible.

"It's really bad news."

Moody looked serious, "Goblin, tell me everything you know. Otherwise we won't be able to help you." Kurumok seemed to be reluctantly satisfied with Harry's promise, and then he told all the details in detail.

From the Death Eaters sending people to contact him decades ago, to the Dark Lord's fall from power, to helping him become the leader of the goblins not long ago, coaxing him to hand over a third of the goblins, but actually turning them into forced Contracted magical beings—that's magic that's tougher than house-elves.Kurumok hadn't become the leader for a few days, but the residence was breached by these same kind of betrayers before, and the Death Eaters were brought in.You must know that hundreds of years have passed since the goblin rebellion, and they are no longer good at offensive magic. After a large-scale battle, the remaining goblins were also captured, and all the elders were killed.Kurumok escaped by taking advantage of his privilege as leader.

"Although I don't know if there is any hope. But I don't want to be the goblin's sinner." Kurumok's voice trembled for the first time, "You are the only ones who can fight against the Dark Lord." He jumped off the sofa, slowly Walking slowly in front of Harry, he bent deeply:

"I beg you, Harry Potter."
