Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

However, this time Voldemort fell faster, so that as soon as they started to explode, the British wizarding world was calmed down.

Naturally, Gringotts headquarters in England was not disturbed much.

After Grete disclosed the matter to Seni and the others according to his own guess, everyone began to think thoughtfully.

What the leader said may not be a fantasy.

If this is really the case, they may be able to drive away tigers and devour wolves.

A wizard fighting a goblin may cause a backlash.

However, if the goblins fight themselves, there should be no signs of war.

If this could still burn the wizard, Gretel wouldn't have to think about anything else. He would just gather his team and fight a war until either side was dead.

There is no need to think twice about how to unite all wizards peacefully.

Fighting aggression and massacre is always the only way to unite everyone.

Gretel believed that goblins would not be so unwise. War meant casualties. As immortal goblins, they would never be so reckless.

Hundreds of years of life can outlast several generations of wizards.

Driving tigers and devouring wolves sounds simple, but in practice it is much more difficult than imagined.

If there was a choice, Gretel felt that if it was possible, he would prefer Dawn to face the British goblins in the future.

Although goblins and wizards in England and even Europe discriminate against each other, they have been getting along with each other for centuries.

There is still some fusion between them.

For example, the goblins of Gringotts in England will generally resolve matters within the rules as long as they can keep their face.

This is the pride that belongs only to the old nobles.

Fairies who consider themselves nobler than wizards naturally imitate this pride.

The fairies on the other side of the ocean are different.

The first people who came to that uncivilized land, whether they were Muggles or wizards, couldn't make it in the local area, so they crossed the ocean to find a new future.

Naturally, the same goes for the goblins. The first ones sent there were also people who did not have a good life within the goblin clan.

The identity they play is consumables to open up the market.

But who could have imagined that that uncivilized land full of gold could develop so rapidly, and the power they hold in their hands is getting bigger and bigger, which also makes their ambitions more and more inflated.

Not to mention anything else, the total number of wizards in England is only tens of thousands.

But in America, millions of wizards bring immeasurable water every day.

Gringotts in the Americas has a monthly business volume, and Gringotts in the UK would have to work for two to three years to achieve the same turnover rate.

But in fact, the goblins of Gringotts in England, by virtue of their status as headquarters, take away more than half of the profits of Gringotts in America every month.

It's okay if you don't have the ability to resist, but now Britain, and even Europe as a whole, is clearly sinking.

The fairies in America are growing vigorously like the rising sun, which makes them unable to endure this kind of exploitation.

This is one of the reasons why Shuguang believes that the plan of driving tigers and devouring wolves is feasible.

The fairies in America, regardless of their status, have long surpassed the old 'nobles' in Europe in terms of strength.

It's not like Gretel didn't know that if he really succeeded in driving the tiger away, Shuguang would have to face even more difficult American fairies in the future.

But he had to do it.

You have to take several risks in life. Not everything can be done one step at a time.

Sugon has been developing smoothly all this time, and has basically never encountered any difficulties that are difficult to solve.

If it weren't for the fact that the research had come to a standstill and he urgently needed the information from the goblins, he would not have chosen to attack the goblins now.

The Eastern wisdom in his bones told him clearly that hibernation was not a bad thing, and he knew this very well.

But that's no longer possible. Even if they might endanger tigers, they must try to do it.

As Penello said in the fiscal report.

This time, Gringotts could delay them for three hours, next time it might be three days, or three months.

As the only financial institution with a monopoly in the wizarding world, they have plenty of ways to pinch the wizards' necks.

Money bags are sometimes more important than you think.

Even the Ministry of Magic has to rely on the financial system established by Gringotts to operate.

No one could imagine what would happen to the wizarding world if Gringotts shut down.

The magical world that has crossed time and entered civilized society has long been inseparable from financial order.

The ancient barter-for-thing method no longer has much ground to sustain in a world where civilization is gradually developing.

Once out of the gold galleons financial system established by the goblins, wizards could not find fair rules for bartering.

Therefore, Dawn must stir up troubled waters for the entire goblin clan so that they have no time to take into account Dawn's actions.

However, the methods involved must be well controlled, otherwise, if a mistake is made, driving tigers and devouring wolves will turn into raising tigers, and the harm caused by tigers will be greater than that of wolves, and the consequences will be endless.

First, we must establish a good cooperative relationship with the fairies in America.

They must be very willing to see their fellow Europeans who suppress them based on their status become drowned dogs.

"Seni, when the meeting is over, send me a copy of the information from the American branch, and arrange a suitable identity for me. I want to go to America and meet these 'guys' who are under control."

…

Gretel prepared for three days, then took leave from Dumbledore and decided to set off for America.

The happiest person when Gretel left school was Snape, who had been thinking about this position for who knows how many years.

The last time I was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I was teaching for Remus Lupin, and I just got a little addicted.

He was so happy this time because Gretel was taking a long vacation, which meant that he would be able to roam around the Hogwarts campus as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a long time to come. .

——

"Bah, bah, bah."

Gretel really didn't expect that the wizards would place the door key in a desert area with no visible edges.

As a result, others didn't even recover from their dizziness, so they took a big mouthful of sand in the wind.

"Damn it, the portal needs to be stabilized soon."

After looking around and identifying the direction, Gretel cast a disillusionment spell on himself, took out a magic broom, and flew up.

It's not that he doesn't want to use magic particles to move quickly, it's just that his identity here does not allow him to do such a high-profile thing.

Moreover, after landing, he felt the rejection of America.

Magic particles are not as close to him as those in Europe.

"It seems that the magic environment here is much worse than in Europe."

The last time he came to America was four years ago, when he was still a first-year wizard with no ability to protect himself.

It wasn't until he left America that he digested what Voldemort left in him and gained the precious ability to protect himself.

Returning to his old place, even he did not expect that in just four years, he would become a wizard who could be on par with Dumbledore.

If it hadn't been for Dawn's concealment of his information, he would probably have been on the wizard card in Chocolate Frog by now.

With his current strength, even in ancient times, he was a rising star among the crowd, and could be called the seed of a legendary wizard.

In four years, the magical world has not changed much, but the Muggle world seems to be changing with each passing day, with a new look every day.

The place where he landed was next to a Muggle town.

Members of the Dawn Branch parked a pickup truck, the most commonly used car among American Muggles, for him in the garage of a private house on the edge of the town.

That was the house of a branch member, and the identity of Grete's replacement was that of this member, Garnell Rouse.

As for Ganel himself, he went to Dawn's headquarters in Moldova through the portkey three days ago.

Although it is said to be a branch, in fact, until now, Suguang has not established a stronghold in the Americas.

Shuguang's hand can't stretch that far yet, and being able to develop some like-minded companions is already the limit of what they can do.

When they really need to perform tasks in the Americas, they still need to send people from Europe, pass the portkey, and travel thousands of miles to do the work here.

This is why Gretel needs to come in person.

The water in America is very deep.

Not to mention the American Ministry of Magic as the administrator, just talking about the Muggle government in America is not something ordinary members of Dawn can deal with casually.

Because this time we are going to Washington, the capital of the Muggle government.

So Gretel decided to be cautious and use Muggle means to get there.

After all, what he came here to do was not legal. Unfamiliar magic fluctuations could easily attract the attention of the authorities.

A pickup truck is great, and you can get there in no time along the interstate.

…

Even though he had already stood in front of the Gringotts America headquarters, Gretel still couldn't imagine it.

The hearts of these goblins are really strong. The seat of Congress in Washington is in the same neighborhood as Gringotts.

Even walking from the Congress side, more than ten minutes is enough.

Gringotts in America is very different from the headquarters in Diagon Alley. Their place obviously looks much more modern.

It complements the surrounding buildings and looks obviously of the same style.

However, the signboard at the door is formed in the same vein.

In addition to the name of Gringotts for wizards to see, the American branch is also specially marked in elf script below.

Gretel also noticed that a special nameplate covered by magic was nailed to the milky-white plaster pillar at the door.

Judging from the smooth finish on the nameplate, it must have been nailed on for a long time, and the mottled traces of time are very obvious.

Goblin International Bank, founded in the 16th century AD, is committed to serving all customers.

A bright light flashed in Gretel's eyes. It seemed that the American goblin did have his own plan.

In fact, they had considered breaking away from Gringotts Europe's control a long time ago.

Otherwise, they would not hang such a sign hidden by magic at the door of the bank.

To be honest, if Gretel hadn't had silver eyes, he wouldn't have noticed the magic fluctuations there at all.

For a moment, Grete felt certain.

Pushing open the door of Gringotts Americas, a goblin walked up to him with a smile on his face.

Based on this professional service attitude, Grete felt that the group of goblins in Gringotts, England, were just like the British wizarding world, and would be swept into the garbage sooner or later.

He still remembers the way the goblins looked at him when he first stepped into Gringotts in Diagon Alley.

It's not like receiving a customer, but more like looking at an item.

Goblin International Bank is different, no matter what their purpose is.

Based on their attitude when they first met, Gretel had a much better impression of them.

Raven Keys.

Tsk tsk tsk, Gretel sighed repeatedly in his heart.

No wonder last month, the goblins of Gringotts in Diagon Alley teleported more than ten times before settling the matter of Dawn's redemption.

Has the American Gringotts Goblin's rebellion been so public and undisguised?

It was also at this time that Gretel understood why it took three hours to pay Dawn off even though there were mountains of gold Galleons in Gringotts' vault in Diagon Alley.

Paying for Gringotts in Diagon Alley and asking Gringotts of America to pay have completely different meanings.

So, they were not dealing with Dawn that day, but fighting for leadership between the two Gringotts.

What if Gringotts in Diagon Alley had paid Dawn without receiving the money handed over by Gringotts America.

Gringotts America dared to further test Gringotts headquarters. Maybe next time it would not just intercept Su Guang's business money in America.

If Gringotts in Diagon Alley makes another concession, Gringotts Americas on the surface, and Goblin International Bank in reality, will dare to further usurp the leadership rights belonging to the headquarters.

Of course, Gringotts in Diagon Alley was keenly aware of this immediately. The fluctuation that Paige felt must be the action of the old guys in the goblin clan.

Only people like them can rely on their status and seniority to suppress this group of rebellious expendables in the branch.

Raven Keys, a name very different from the goblins of Gringotts in Diagon Alley, cannot help but arouse Gretel's imagination.

After all, when the goblins of Gringotts were named, they always mentioned Griphook, Copper Lock, and Vault...

Give them names that are closely related to their work.

In the entire Diagon Alley Gringotts, the only exception is the one who had dealt with Gretel, Sherlock Grandet.

Gretel didn't pay attention at the time, but he later collected a lot of information about the goblins. In addition, when he saw that everyone in the Goblin International Bank had the same name as the wizard, he realized that question.

The names of fairies are not chosen randomly. There are legends that their names are related to their heritage.

Names like Professor Flitwick and Filius Flitwick are generally only given by mixed-race names.

Although they are goblins, their status within the goblins is not as high as that of pure goblins.

Positions such as managers can only be held by purebred goblins with traditional goblin names.

This is also the reason why Professor Flitwick did not advise Gretel to seek refuge in the Elf Clan when he was in his first year.
