Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 235: News of the attack on Gringotts has spread



"Gringotts claims that, apart from the damage to Gringotts itself, no customers suffered any losses in this incident... That's nonsense!"

At the Gryffindor table, Ron put down the newspaper angrily.

The Daily Prophet devoted a lot of space to describing the attack on Gringotts, but there was no description of Voldemort's involvement in the incident.

Perhaps due to pressure from the Ministry of Magic, the Daily Prophet simply characterized this incident as an accident caused by Gringotts' mismanagement of its guarding monsters.

However, Dudley had caused so much publicity that he couldn't hide it. Besides, there were also wizards and employees in Gringotts, plus some loose-mouthed Death Eaters. The news that "Gringotts had been robbed by Voldemort" was very It quickly spread like wildfire and spread.

"My brother Bill, as you know, he is the Curse Breaker of Gringotts, although he is often sent to work abroad."

Ron lowered his voice mysteriously and said to the others.

"Due to the excessive damage to the building that Gringotts received this time, he was also temporarily recalled to Diagon Alley to repair Gringotts."

"So, Bill knows some inside information?"

Harry asked in surprise.

"Yes, he told me that the intruders had almost reached Gringotts' deep vault. There was also some damage that was obviously not caused by the dragon. Maybe several vaults had been destroyed by the person who cannot name it. Empty!"

"You mean, Gringotts concealed the news that part of the vault was robbed by Voldemort? But why did they do this? And the customers who were robbed should have discovered their losses."

Dudley asked casually, pretending to be clueless.

Ron shuddered when he heard the name Voldemort, but quickly adjusted his mood and continued.

"I suspect that the goblins in Gringotts have formed an alliance with Voldemort. After all, it's not just once or twice that goblins rebel against wizards - and no one reports their losses probably just because they haven't discovered it yet. After all, not all People go to Gringotts all day long to check whether there is any damage to their family's vault."

When Harry Potter heard this, he said with an unhappy expression on his face: "I really want to ask for leave from school to see if there is any damage to my treasury - although I don't care how much money is in it, but when I think about it, I The things my parents left me may be taken away and used by Voldemort, so I feel very uncomfortable."

However, from a certain perspective, the most important treasure your parents left you, the invisibility cloak, has been borrowed by "Voldemort" in this incident.Dudley thought a little guiltily.

"Yes! I also want my mother to go to Gringotts to confirm whether our family's vault has been emptied by the person who cannot be named..."

"But it seems our coffers are always empty, Ron."

The girl's clear and sweet voice came from behind. Dudley turned around and saw a cute girl with fiery red hair, Ron's sister Ginny Weasley, walking towards them.

Next to Ginny, Luna, who had disheveled light blond hair, still looked as dazed as ever.

"Ginny, there should still be something in our family's treasury... Even if there is nothing, a piece of mouse droppings cannot support the Death Eaters, okay? This is not a question of how much money, it is a question of principle. .....”

Ron said awkwardly after hearing Ginny's teasing.

Luna walked up to Dudley without hesitation and read the words from the Daily Prophet. Her hair was scattered next to Dudley's nose, and Dudley could smell her faint fragrance.

"My father's magazine originally wanted to report on this incident, but it was banned by the Ministry of Magic." Luna's voice was as clear and melodious as ever, and she looked at Dudley with her big, watery eyes.

"What do you think Dudley, do you think this is a good thing?"

Dudley's heart tightened, but he still smiled and said calmly: "What are you talking about, Fleur - Voldemort's robbery of Gringotts is certainly not good news."

"I didn't say anything about the mysterious man, and he wasn't mentioned in the newspapers."

Luna said briskly: "What I want to ask you is, what do you think about the dragons from Gringotts escaping from Gringotts? Do you think it is better for them to escape, or to continue to be raised by Gringotts as guards. "

Dudley's eyes narrowed slightly. He had almost been trapped by Luna just now. The little girl Luna was so mysterious that he couldn't figure out whether she was testing him intentionally just now.

"As a matter of my position, due to my relationship with Norbert, I certainly feel that the dragon race, as an intelligent race, should not be enslaved by anyone or any other race."

Dudley said slowly.

"From this perspective, their escape from Gringotts may not be a bad thing at least for themselves."

Hearing Dudley's words, Ron showed an expression of disapproval.

"But what if the dragon becomes the subordinate of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named... It would be too dangerous for them to destroy and even eat people everywhere. It would be safer to lock them up."

"But other intelligent races should not be enslaved. This time I support Dudley's point of view. It is too barbaric and cruel to lock the dragon underground without seeing the sun. I found that there are many such things in the wizarding world. The problem is like the house elf we talked about last time—"

"Okay, okay, Hermione, our ears are almost numb from your words."

Ron waved his hand and said impatiently.

"I understand that you are dissatisfied with the status of house elves, but this is not something we can decide. None of us here have house elves. No matter how much you say here, it will be of no use."

"Yes, so I plan to stop talking and use practical actions to liberate the house elves - do you want to join this great cause?"

Hermione stood up triumphantly, took out a small box from her arms, and then slowly opened it with her white hands, only to see dozens of shiny bronze badges inside.

"S.P.E.W - vomiting? Hermione, why are you doing so many vomiting badges?"

Ron picked up a small badge and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"What vomiting? It's the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron and said dissatisfied.

"I want to form an organization to promote everyone's attention to the living conditions of house elves, so that the living environment of house elves can be improved..."

Hermione began to ramble on, but Dudley looked at the pile of badges in her box and suddenly had a new idea.
