A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 696: The Dragon Roar of Gringotts

Future World Company Headquarters, Felix, Sirius and Lupine are scattered in three corners of the office, Felix is ​​half lying on the sofa and reading the newspaper, Sirius leans against the door frame and keeps throwing a ball of yarn , Lupine sat behind his desk, facing a thick stack of papers.

"That's what she said?" Felix read a newspaper more than ten days ago, which contained an obituary signed by Elphias Dorji, and his fingers rested in the middle.

"You inspired her." Sirius said absently, staring out the window, "That public appearance made Amelia realize the role of the students in school, and she thought she could give it a try—— This time with a group of Aurors, the goblins almost released the dragon from the vault."

"Is it so serious?" Lupine asked gravely, looking up.

"I judge that they dare not, but the appearance of the Goblin Brotherhood complicates things." Sirius said with a gloomy expression. Eyeing Bode or something, they demanded the formulation of a new "Goblin Bill of Rights", and talked about the great history of the goblin kingdom during the negotiations. A certain king beat the wizard to pieces."

Fairy Kingdom? Felix thought for a while, this is basically a noun that only exists in books and test papers.

Because of their different appearance from humans, goblins actually appeared in groups earlier than wizards. Although it is a kingdom, it is similar to the horse tribe and the mermaid tribe. There may have been more than a dozen goblin kingdoms in the same period of ancient times.

But unlike other magical races, goblins are more aggressive. Not only have they developed their own language and magic system, but they also appear as skilled metalsmiths, communicating with wizards, learning and imitating the excellence of wizards.

It is not all smooth sailing for wizards to achieve their current dominance in the magic world. They have also faced challenges from many races, and some of them even disappeared forever in the long river of history. Among them, goblins have been fighting the longest. Rebellions broke out until the 17th and 18th centuries, and they did not subside until the past century.

Therefore, in general, wizards have not had an absolute advantage over goblins for a long time, and they have a great relationship with the non-magic world——with the improvement of productivity, ordinary people have experienced several population explosions in the past few hundred years , the number of wizards naturally also increased.

"...There are quite a few such organizations in the magic world, and many of them were founded by wizards." Lupine said calmly, "For example, a witch named Heliotop Willis came to her door to sell her Troll Security Service. She is also the leader of a troll rights group."

"Troll rights organization?" Felix asked curiously, "Can they read the constitution of the organization?"

"Obviously, that woman did it for me," Sirius sneered like a dog barking, "The trolls just need to stand behind her with a stick."

"Or stand behind the goblin." Lupine continued, "I rejected her, we have our own defense system, and she revealed that the next step will be to discuss cooperation with Gringotts."

"Good luck to her," said Felix, erecting the newspaper, his light blue, piercing eyes moving in the direction of Gringotts. His eyes seemed to be the same color as the sky.

A few streets away from them, in Gringotts, facing Sword Castle far away, Ms. Burns and several students sat on one side of a long table, and on the other side were twelve students dressed in Leprechaun in suit and tie.

One of the elves is holding a magnifying glass to carefully examine a simple and rough plate.

Ms. Bones had a flat expression. Hermione was sitting on the left. Her hands under the table were shaking slightly because of nervousness. Her eyes kept moving back and forth between the goblin and the thick documents in front of her. On the right of Ms. Burns is Harry, and next to him is Draco Malfoy, who was picked by Ms. Burns when she came to school in the morning.

Her reason was that Malfoy's ancestors had facilitated the negotiations between goblins and wizards, and Lucius Malfoy knew a lot of secrets, which might play a role.

Their backs were facing an area similar to windows. The place where there should have been windows was now empty, and the outside was even darker.

"The workmanship is a mess, without any sense of beauty," the goblin holding a magnifying glass continued to pick on the fault, "It is even more incomparable with our carefully crafted silverware. However, there is no doubt that this is a very old antique. , and the clay used seems to be somewhat special. Gringotts is willing to pay fifty Galleons for it."

"This is not for sale."

Ms. Burns said with a sigh of relief, and then she realized what, the plate is real, and the wizard relics are real. Countless courage suddenly filled her heart.

"... Strange, I can't tell the source," the goblin said puzzledly: "The goblin has records of soil from all over the world, but the soil used in this pottery dish contains some special ingredients, and it is not sure where it is. The role in forging - where did you get it?"

Ms. Burns smiled slightly, "You're right, Nagnack. This was brought back from the moon by Felix Heppe, who was lucky enough to find the ruins of the ancient wizard."

Nagnok the goblin stared at her, "You mean this thing came from the moon?"

Ms. Burns nodded reservedly.

The goblins whispered.

A goblin with cross-eyed eyes said with an ugly face: "I don't believe it! Let me check it again!" He jumped up from the chair. Although the goblin was short in stature, his fingers were very long. At the moment of the plate, Harry who was sitting across from him suddenly stretched out his hand, and the plate moved away from the goblin.

"Bo Derek, don't make trouble!" a goblin reprimanded angrily.

Cross-eyed Boderick caught a cloud of air and sat back in his chair unwillingly.

"Mr. Harry Potter," the goblin who just uttered a stop greeted coldly, "It seems like yesterday was the first time you came to Gringotts.

Harry carefully distinguished the face of the goblin. In his opinion, goblins all look alike, with only differences in beard and hair. They look a bit like dolls sold in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, eh , is a semi-finished product with no hair attached...

Since the goblin mentioned his first visit to Gringotts - "Mr. Griphook?" said Harry tentatively, scratching his stomach.

Griphook nodded.

Ms. Burns turned a blind eye to what just happened, and said calmly: "We can talk about business, you should know my purpose,

Although goblins and wizards belong to different races and have occasional disputes, they are in fact interdependent and part of the magic world. "

"Hmph! Who knows if you have come up with a new method of deception?" Boderick shouted.

"It's not impossible." Said the goblin sitting in the center, he seemed to be the oldest, for goblins, older age means stronger casting ability and higher status - this may be Fairies are one of the few systems inherited from the Fairy Kingdom.

"But we ask wizards to face up to the rights of goblins. Including that goblins must be absolutely equal to wizards on all occasions, goblins have the right to carry and use magic wands, as well as the right to settle and participate in the next Muggle negotiations." The old man The goblin talked for a full ten minutes before stopping.

"By the way, there is also the cancellation of that stupid goblin liaison office!

Ms. Burns raised her eyebrows.

"I don't know when you added a dozen more requirements, and I thought you were satisfied with Dirk Cresswell's ability to work." Dirk Cresswell is the goblin liaison office The director is in charge of communicating with goblins, and he was in charge of the last negotiation.

"The goblin doesn't need a wizard to dictate the economy." The goblin took it for granted.

Draco Malfoy let out a loud "chi" sound.

"Boy, I don't care about Malfoy," the cross-eyed Baldrick immediately threatened, "Be careful that I will feed you to the dragon."

Draco paled. He squinted his eyes and said in a long drawl: "My father once said that there is a blind Ukrainian iron belly locked under the ground of Gringotts...but you will never dare to release it."

"I'm waiting for you to say something," said the goblin defiantly.

"Sitting across from you is the Minister of Magic. If you do this, it will mean that wizards and goblins are at war," Draco Malfoy said with a gloomy smile on his face. "I hope you will do this. I can guarantee that within an hour, the goblins here will immediately become history."

The goblins yelled angrily, several goblins pointed at Draco, his face became even paler, from the goblin's movements, Harry thought of the appearance of the house elf Dobby about to cast a spell, he " Whoosh, he pulled out his wand, and the spell was ready to go.

Although he did not assign a task when he came, he positioned himself as the **** of the negotiation.

Hermione went through a lot of collected materials at the Ministry of Magic in the morning, and talked with Ms. Burns all the way. The specific details of the negotiation hardly need Harry to intervene—he is very self-aware. Judging from the results of the History of Magic O.W.Ls exam, he basically answered wrong questions about goblins, so Harry was very surprised by Mal, who has always been timid and cowardly. Fu dared to take the initiative to provoke on this occasion, he stood up and approached the talking fairy, looking reassured. But in the next second, Harry suddenly realized.

"Felix Hemp." A name came out of Draco's mouth.

This name seems to have magical powers, and the light on the elves' slender fingers dimmed a bit. Seeing this scene, Draco showed a winning smile on his face. He was right, Dad was right! These arrogant goblins with long ears are afraid of the professor.

In the eyes of others, Professor Haipu is an extremely different existence. He has risen like a star, but few people really know him.

The dragon's roar still faintly came from the broken window behind them, but the roar could no longer move them. Draco's words seemed to have a magical chemical reaction.

Ms. Bones restrained the smile that was about to appear on her face. She had long been disgusted with the goblin's arrogance, but she had to bear with it for the sake of the overall situation. The terms of the negotiation can be seen from the fact that they added a dozen additional requirements.

"Mr. Hype has a lot to do," said Ms. Burns mildly. "I won't bother him with these little things unless necessary. As you say, negotiations are imminent and we don't have much left." It's time."

She turned to look at Hermione.

Hermione cleared the noise, "Mr. Goblins, why don't you listen to the articles of association of the Pan-Magical Alliance? Although the obligations of all parties are regulated here, it is more about rights and interests. Once the alliance Established, the power of the magic world will be twisted into one, not only can strengthen cooperation, if wizards and the Muggle government successfully negotiate, goblins will also enjoy a series of benefits. Oh, I have reliable sources, even if the silverware made by goblins is in The non-magical world is also very popular"

The goblins glanced at each other.

Negotiations continued, and for the next two hours, Hermione babbled on about the benefits that the Pan-Magical Alliance had brought to the goblins, and some goblins relaxed their attitudes. Hermione took a breath and continued:

"The goblin didn't lose anything. Instead, this unprecedented crisis served as an opportunity for the wizard and the goblin to have a reason to talk. At this juncture, no one wants to have an accident, so the two sides will definitely come up with the greatest Sincerity—but if someone or a goblin is stubborn and won’t compromise at all for their own interests," Hermione raised her eyebrows and said with a serious attitude: "Goblins are not afraid of war, and wizards are even less afraid of war."

"Does the wizard want to destroy his own economic system?" A goblin said with an ugly face.

Hermione looked at Ms. Burns, she leaned back in her chair, she didn't mean to speak, so Hermione said seriously: "Maybe there will be chaos in the wizarding world, but the troubles will be resolved soon, for example, The future world company has more than 2,000 employees around the world, and they can replace Gringotts at any time."

"Not to mention, the currency forging technology and anti-counterfeiting technology that goblins are supposed to do. For a real archmage, it is only a matter of time before they want to crack."

The goblins shouted at her.

"Goblins are not equal to wizard slaves!" cried another goblin.

But Ms. Burns was not surprised but pleased, which means that the negotiations have entered a substantive stage.

"House-elves are not slaves," Hermione said, "at least not legally. The house-elves in the future world and Hogwarts unanimously agreed to join the Pan-Magic Alliance. Next, the Ministry of Magic will gradually clean up The old family raises house elves, they will be freed from heavy and trivial housework and unfair treatment, and engage in more meaningful things.”

"Which families are willing to hand over their servants?" cried a goblin, looking at Draco.

"Ignorant fools are in Azkaban," Draco sneered, "The fate of those people will be the same as their master Voldemort." Well, the Malfoy family must be separated from the Death Eaters . It took him a while to speak the Dark Lord's name fluently.

"What if there are house-elves who don't want to be free?" asked the goblin, who had some idea of ​​the state of the house-elves.

"The Ministry of Magic will not be one size fits all, and will be lenient for those who are friendly," said Hermione, "but at least the new born house elves,

They will all be protected by the Pan-Magical Alliance.

The goblins whispered, they could see that the wizard's will to reform was very firm, and the wizard gave up a large part of his interests. Although this part of the benefits still remained in the magic world, the way of taking food from the mouth of the ancient family still shocked the goblins .

At this moment, Draco stepped on Harry under the table, Harry turned his head sideways, and Draco pouted at an empty seat opposite.

The goblin with the strange name is missing? Harry thought to himself that he also saw the cross-eyed Boderick leave halfway and didn't think there was anything wrong, but Draco Malfoy reminded him.

The cold wind behind him made his hairs stand on end.

Harry approached Ms. Burns quietly, his lips twitched, "A goblin is missing."

Ms. Burns nodded cautiously.

Suddenly, a deafening dragon's roar came from the ground to their ears, and the room fell silent instantly. Harry stared carefully at the faces of the goblins,

They don't seem to know what's going on either. Immediately afterwards, the tabletop began to move, and the rumbling sound of the stone pillar collapsing and the hissing of the dragon mixed together, which was creepy.

Harry was the first to react, jumping up and taking the container on the table in his hand, while Hermione stuffed it into the beaded pouch. Then they quickly retreated to the corner, and Harry stood on the outer layer, supporting the magic barrier.

There was a crunching sound. Harry looked over the chair he had been sitting in and saw a cloudy pink eye. "Dragon, dragon,

Dragon" Draco stammered, as gray scales and spiked wings slid past their eyes, the walls were crushed and deformed,

Dust rises high.

From far away came the panicked screams of the goblins,

The goblin in the house ran out, followed by Harry and the others, and came to the Gringotts hall. They were stunned by the picture in front of them

—A large hole was broken in a high and exquisite ceiling. From the hole, a huge gray dragon flapped its wings and kicked hard to break half of the ceiling. After that, the dragon didn't stop, Let out a roar of excitement, spread its wings and rush to the light blue sky.

Some broken bricks and glass fell.

The goblins are staggering like potatoes randomly placed on the dining table. There are more than a dozen sharp goblin daggers stuck on the ground, these daggers are enough to break through the dragon's defense.

A goblin was yelling in some strange language, which Harry realized was Goblin.

"What's going on?" one of the goblins involved in the negotiation asked.

"Bo Derek broke into the bottom of the vault privately, and asked for the jingle tablet that controlled the dragon, trying to untie some of its restraints. But he was careless, and the dragon rushed over and swallowed him in one gulp , and then the dragon broke free from the remaining chains and flew away." A goblin reported.

The goblin elder's face was so gloomy that water could drip.

He instantly realized that cross-eyed Bo Derek was going to use the dragon to sabotage the peace talks. Of course, Bo Derek would not be so stupid as to let the dragon attack the Minister of Magic, but it is still possible to cause disturbances, interrupt and postpone the negotiations of.

At least on the surface, wizards can't afford to delay. The longer the delay, the better for the goblin.

"Why did the dragon suddenly go berserk? And how could it break free from the chain made by the goblin?" Ms. Burns asked loudly.

No answer. Gringotts even closed the banking business today because they had to receive people from the Ministry of Magic, and the door was completely sealed, which basically ruled out the possibility of outsiders sneaking in. Elder Goblin found himself in a very troublesome situation.

Fight, can't fight, can't fight, the previous threats are still vivid in my memory; telling the truth ~IndoMTL.com~ is even more stupid, the goblin doesn't do stupid things Ms. Burns is also sullen, Standing in the hall, thinking quickly.

"If I'm not mistaken one by one" she took a deep breath, "That monster accurately spared the dragon to deal with us, but the dragon lost control and reaped the consequences?"

"Nothing!" Elder Goblin flatly denied.

"Otherwise, how did the chain break? Could it be that you still can't control the guards guarding the vault? How does this make us believe that you can guard the wizard's property?" Ms. Burns pressed on step by step.

"The dragon is old, and we are planning to replace it with other creatures, and we may have neglected to manage it because of it." The Elder Goblin said at once, "But Gringotts is still the safest bank in the world. "

"This rhetoric is totally insincere.

"At least it won't affect the next negotiation." Elder Fairy Ding said to the crowd watching and pointing from the street.

Felix put down the newspaper and stood up from the sofa, "I'm leaving."

"Amelia hasn't come out yet." Sirius said in surprise.

"There was an accident at Gringotts, but I don't think it will affect the negotiation." Felix said, looking at Sirius and Lupine, "Help me, Severus will come to Sword Castle in two days Presiding over potions to simplify work, I don't want to hear any of you fighting."

"You can't just say that to us!" Sirius exclaimed.

Felix shrugged his shoulders. At this time, the noise outside had already reached the inside of the sword castle.

"Why don't I just post 'No Fighting' behind every door?"
