Harry Potter and the Old Ones Chapter 12

"Yes, that's a goblin," Hagrid whispered calmly as they walked down the white stone steps toward the man.

The leprechaun was about a head shorter than Harry, with a dark, intelligent face and a pointy beard, and Harry noticed that his hands and feet were extraordinarily long.

When they entered the door, the goblin bowed to them. Then a second door appeared in front of them, it was silver, and the two doors were engraved with the following words:

Come in, stranger.

But beware of what happens to your insatiable greed.

Blindly asking for something for nothing will definitely be punished the most severely.

So if you want to take a piece of wealth from our underground vaults that was never yours, thief, you have been warned, beware that you will not bring wealth, but evil.

"If you want me to say, you're crazy if you want to rob a bank," Hagrid said.

But Harry robbed it once in seventh grade, Tiera said silently in her heart.

The two goblins bowed to them and led them into a tall marble hall. About a hundred or so fairies sat on high stools behind a long line of counters, some weighing coins with copper scales, and some examining gems with eyepieces, while scribbling registrations on the large ledger. There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins guide people to enter these doors. Hagrid and Harry walked towards the counter.

"Good morning." Hagrid greeted an idle goblin.

"We're going to take some money from Harry Potter's vault, as well as Tierra Wu's student loan."

"Your key and proof of Hogwarts." The goblin said somewhat arrogantly.

"Yes, I remember I took it, um... Where did I put it." Hagrid groped for a while in the deep pocket of the leather jacket, took out all the things in the pocket and put it on the counter, and accidentally put a handful of Moldy dog biscuits spilled on the leprechaun's ledger. The goblin wrinkled her nose. Harry watched the goblin on the right weighing a pile of rubies the size of red-hot coals.

"Aha, found it." Hagrid finally said, picking out a small key and a small piece of letter paper and handing them to the goblin.

"It should be fine." The goblin said after reading the letter carefully, then picked up the key and looked at it carefully.

"I also have a letter from Professor Dumbledore here." Hagrid collected all the sundries scattered on the table. He took out another letter from the inner pocket of the leather jacket, and said solemnly, "It's about the thing in Vault 713."

Although Hagrid spoke very quietly, Tiera was keen to catch it, and pinched the thing in her jacket pocket at the same time.

The goblin read the letter carefully.

"Very good." He said, handing the letter back to Hagrid, then ordered a hundred Galleons from the counter, put it heavily into a dark brown cowhide bag, and then took a quill and placed it in Hagrid's first The letter that was handed over the next time was marked, and then he handed the kraft bag and letter paper with one hundred Galleons to Tiera.

Tiera took the kraft bag and the letter paper and saw the seven-column Hogwarts review opinion on student loans on the letter paper.

The column representing the first grade has been crossed out by the fairy just now, in exchange for a hundred gold Galleons.

"You can get six more student loans in the future," said the goblin sitting at the counter. "If you have Muggle currency, we can also convert it into Galleons for you, but you can only deal with one hundred Galleons per year. ."

"Well, Mr. Fairy, please help me exchange one hundred gold Galleons." Tiera took out the pound from her cowhide bag, ordered five hundred pounds from it, and gave it to the goblin.

"There is still one percent of the handling fee." The goblin's sharp voice said again.

Tiera had to give out another five pounds to the goblin.

After the goblin took the five pounds, she handed out another hundred Galleons to Tiera.

"Okay, you're done here, I'll find someone to take you to these two underground vaults. Griphook!"

Griphook is another goblin. Hagrid and Hallitiella followed Griphook out of the hall through one of the doors.

"What is this kid doing here?" Griphook stared at Tiera with sharp eyes, "You can just wait here."

"Well, I, I think, I want to go see the vault of the Wizard Bank with you, okay? Harry." Tiera seemed startled by Griphook, and stammered.

Tiera knew that as long as Harry spoke up about this kind of thing, it would be useless for the goblin to object.

"He's with us, what's the problem with you? Griphook?" Hagrid blocked Griphook and Tiera directly, and said sarcastically, "This is our Hogwarts students, shouldn't you be afraid? Is such a student robbing your bank?"

Harry nodded along with him.

Seeing that Hagrid and Harry insisted and said nothing, Griphook turned around and continued to lead the three to the depths of Gringotts.

Griphook and Tiera don't know each other at all, let alone a personal feud, the goblins just instinctively hate anyone who takes gold coins from them.

It's their nature, like greedy spiders.

"What's the 'thing' in vault 713?" Harry asked.

"I can't tell you that," said Hagrid mysteriously. "It's a top secret. It's about Hogwarts. Dumbledore trusted me to give it to me, it's my job, no tell you."

Griphook opened the door for both of them. UUreading www.uukanshu.com Harry thought he would see many marbles again, but he was taken aback. In front of you is a narrow stone corridor, illuminated by burning torches. The stone corridor is a steep downhill with a small railway below. Griphook snorted, and a small cart dashed toward them along the railway. They climbed into the cart, but Hagrid struggled to squeeze his much taller body into the cramped mine cart.

Then they set off.

At first, they galloped down the labyrinth of winding corridors, and Harry, wanting to remember the way, turned left. Turn right, turn right, turn left, fork in the middle, turn right, turn left, I can't remember at all. The rattling cart seems to be conscious, knows the way by itself, and doesn't need a pull ring to drive at all.

The icy air roared past, and it hurt a little to put Harry on his glasses several times, not to mention Tiera, closed his eyes and hugged Hagrid's thick arms tightly, as if he had done it in his previous life. It's as exciting as a roller coaster, but this time the protection is rudimentary.

They turned left and right for a while, and finally stopped.

When the mine cart just stopped, Tiera almost vomited, but she held back, and followed Griphook to an iron gate with a pale face.

Pull the ring to unlock the door. A thick plume of green smoke came out of the door, and when the smoke cleared, Harry gasped. Inside were piles of gold coins, silver bars, and mountains of bronze nats.

"It's all yours," Hagrid said with a smile.

It's all Harry's! How enviable, Tiera's eyes straightened.

Harry too.

Hagrid and Tiera help Harry put Galleon in the bag.

Harry even wanted to give Tiera one on the spot.

But it was rejected by Tiera on the spot.
