Chapter 7: Lucas Became A Pauper?
"Lucas, look at yesterday's newspaper, there is another news about the return of the Alliance, this time the impact is too great."
Lucas put down the book of Undetectable Extension Charms. Looked at the contents of the newspaper and chuckled.
Unexpectedly, the laughter caused Vinda's displeasure.
"You are still laughing, now our people are spreading everywhere what you said that day, I am really worried that the ICW will take the opportunity to make things difficult, and you..."
"Aunt Vinda, did I say anything too much that day? I just discovered some problems in the magic world and advocated unity and friendship."
In fact, the purpose of summoning the Acolytes is more to attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic of various countries.
Otherwise, how could he reach the border of England smoothly. It's just that these words can't be said.
Lucas walked over to the window, looking outside, and said softly.
"Don't worry, our people will be safe, and I will not be in danger."
"After all, I'm only an 11-year-old kid. Most people may think that those words were just made by my father."
"Compared to Voldemort who is dead in everyone's mind, Gellert's deterrence is undoubtedly higher. After all, everyone knows that he is still alive, and he is alive and well."
…
"We've arrived at Hogsmeade Village. Get ready. Someone from the Ministry of Magic should come."
Vinda took his word for it. She turned around and went to a mirror to tidy up her appearance.
...
(Hogsmeade.)
Amelia Bones, the current Director of the DMLE of England's Ministry of Magic.
This kind of person who is rarely seen on weekdays came here today.
She looked like she was waiting for someone. Behind her was the Deputy Director, Pius Thicknesse.
In the future, he would be the Minister of Magic after Voldemort's resurrection and be under his imperius curse.
And then there's Dolores Umbridge, Undersecretary of the Minister of Magic. The name may be unfamiliar to some people.
But when it comes to Pink Toad, I'm afraid no one doesn't know it.
Standing beside the toad was the head of the Auror office, Rufus Scrimgeour.
This is a vigorous and resolute guy who is dedicated to dealing with dark wizards.
And they all gathered here today to welcome Lucas Grindelwald.
It can be seen that the Ministry of Magic attaches great importance to Lucas' arrival.
None of the people who came to greet him were happy with his arrival though.
The Thestral carriage landed smoothly and several people looked at its door in unison.
The first to step out of the carriage were several members of the Alliance.
Immediately afterwards Vinda Rosier stepped out with graceful steps. This French rose with thorns always looks proud in front of outsiders.
"Lucas, it's time to come out."
Accompanied by Vinda calling softly Lucas stepped out of the carriage.
"Is this England? The scenery is quite nice."
"It is our honor to receive your praise."
Lucas turned his head and saw a woman with short gray hair and a monocle walking towards him.
"I am Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."
Lucas wasn't surprised.
He shook hands with her politely and greeted gracefully.
"I've heard of the name of Director Bones a long time ago. I feel very honored to meet you today. I don't know what you are here for..."
Although he understands the intentions of these people in his heart. But Lucas still pretended to be confused and asked.
"Mr. Grindelwald, why don't we go to Madam Puddifoot's Tea House next door and chat slowly? The black tea there is very good."
Following the direction of her fingers, Lucas saw the girly shop on the corner of the main road at a glance.
What exactly did they talk about? Outsiders do not know. Because the Ministry of Magic had already emptied the people in the teahouse.
But looking at the smile on Amelia Bones' face as she leaves the two should have had a good conversation.
But before the people from the Ministry of Magic left, there were some small episodes.
Pius Thicknesse, the deputy director, approached Lucas on his own initiative.
"I'll keep an eye on you, don't think no one knows what you've been doing in Austria, Dark Wizard."
The other party whispered something in Lucas' ear and left.
Until all the people in the Ministry of Magic evacuated.
Lucas laughed and said, "It seems that the situation inside the British Ministry of Magic is very bad and there is no unity. Some people welcome us, while some people hate us."
Vinda nodded: "At least the deputy director and Head Auror don't welcome us."
"It doesn't matter, let's go to Gringotts to withdraw some money first, and then go buy things I need for school."
...
(Gringotts, Vault 720.)
Facing a dazzling array of collections. Lucas' face was very ugly.
"Vinda, we are in Gringotts, England, do we only have this little money? One hundred thousand, what is it enough for?"
Vinda Rosier sighed: "Before our influence was not in England, so there isn't much here."
"Then transfer money from Gringotts in other countries."
"Need I remind you, dear? Because of what you did before, the Ministry of Magic is now looking for our people everywhere. Going to Gringotts is asking to be caught."
Lucas sighed and had to give up his thoughts. He randomly took out around 30,000 Galleons.
Lucas walked out of Gringotts looking unhappy, he had never been so poor.
Absent-mindedly, he collided with a masked man.
"Sorry, please forgive my carelessness."
Hearing the apology from the other party, Lucas shook his head.
Just as he was about to speak, he smelled a strong scent of garlic.
Watching the mysterious guy scurrying into Gringotts, Lucas immediately popped a ray of magic with his fingers.
This magic power was mixed with his mental power, and soon formed a space coordinate on the opponent.
Lucas experimented on the way here. Even a powerful wizard like Vinda can hardly detect this coordinate mark.
Looking at the back of the masked man, Lucas greeted the other party: "Professor Quirrell, nice to meet you!"
