After reluctantly leaving the pet shop, Anne followed her new friend Hermione. The two of them walked forward along the street of Diagon Alley. After a while, they came to the middle of Diagon Alley, near the intersection with Knockturn Alley. At the entrance, this is Gringotts Wizarding Bank. It is the largest and most special white marble towering building in Diagon Alley.
In front of the gate of Gringotts, Anne blinked. She frowned cutely and looked at this weird building suspiciously! Because there is a smell in it that she doesn't like very much! It seemed to resemble some kind of creature that disgusted her! That smell feels so disgusting!
Although she hated it, she thought that she still needed to go there to change money, so Anne still had to go in! Because Hermione, who was walking in front, had turned back to urge her several times! Then go in! Just be patient!
Following Hermione, Anne and she walked through the bronze door together, and then passed through the second silver door before entering the spacious marble hall. There were about dozens of goblins sitting behind the tall long counter. Some of them were busy scribbling down something in the big ledger, some were weighing coins with a scale, some were using eyepieces to detect gems, and some adult wizards In front of the counter, there was a queue waiting to handle business.
It is indeed such a disgusting monster! When Annie saw the creatures on the counter, she felt enlightened! When she was outside the building, Annie felt the disgusting smell from them! That's the smell of insatiable greed! She knew it would be such a greedy and ugly creature! This kind of little monster called a goblin also exists on the continent of Valoran! It's just that the things in front of me seem a little different from the ones Annie knows! But the smell is basically the same!
"Tch! Why can these short monsters sit on such a high counter?" Walking to an empty counter, Annie muttered dissatisfiedly, these counters are too high! At least reaching a height of over 1.6 meters, even an adult wizard can only look up at those despicable goblins, right? I really don’t know how the mages here allow such greedy monsters to manage their money?
Annie hates this despicable creature! Especially the way they look when they are sitting on a high platform looking down at themselves! In her opinion, they are just despicable and dirty monsters! How dare they do this? If you were in Valoran and you dared to look down at a mage from such a high position, he would have been burned by bad-tempered mages long ago, right? Looking at the wizards lining up neatly, Anne couldn't understand why the wizards here could still tolerate them!
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Anne." Hermione quickly motioned to Anne to keep her voice down, so as not to be heard by the goblin above! She had been to Gringotts many times, but she knew that these goblins were not so friendly to wizards. Now Hermione felt that it was better to exchange gold galleons quickly, and there was no need to provoke them again.
"I would like to exchange one hundred and fifty pounds for gold galleons! Thank you!" After Hermione reminded Anne, she turned around and stood on tiptoes to hand over a few pound notes.
However, the goblin on the counter did not take the coins immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and looked down with sinister eyes, staring at Anne for several seconds! It just heard what Annie said! Seeing this, Annie fought back and stared at it mercilessly! Standing tall is amazing, right? Short monster! If you dare to jump down, I will definitely be taller than you!
After a while, after seeing that there was nothing he could do to little Annie, the goblin reluctantly gave up! But it still let Hermione's hand when handing over the coins was almost sore, then turned its head and looked at Hermione, and finally deliberately delayed for a while before slowly taking the banknotes. After a while, it coldly took out a small bag of gold galleons from under its counter and tossed it to Hermione. The arrogant and dismissive look on its face almost made Anne furious!
Panicking, Hermione caught the gold Galleons dropped by the goblin. After putting it into her satchel and putting it away carefully, she signaled Annie to take out the gold coins she wanted to exchange. However, these gold coins were too many and too heavy. Hermione's strength But I can’t hand it over!
Fortunately, the clever Miss Granger knows how to use advanced spells like the Levitation Charm! She took out a short wooden wand like the one Anne had seen from her pocket, and said to the large bag of gold coins: Wingardium Leviosa! The bag containing the gold coins slowly floated up and landed on the counter in front of the goblin just now.
Huh? Seeing this little girl named Hermione casting spells like this, Anne felt a very novel feeling! If she read it correctly, it seemed that the spell cast just now was completed with the help of movement gestures, spells and a wand. But..., is it really necessary to go to such trouble?
"Excuse me, please help us exchange all these gold coins into gold galleons! Thank you!" Hermione put away her wand and was extremely proud. She was very satisfied with the spell she had just cast! She is only preparing to enter second grade this year! But ordinary senior students may not know the spell she casts!
Hearing that it was to be exchanged for a large bag of gold coins, the goblin didn't take it too lightly this time. He stood up quickly, stretched out his short hands comically, grabbed the big bag that floated up and was as tall as it, and waited until he opened the bag. When I looked inside, its ridiculously big eyes were flashed by golden light, and they instantly became even bigger and rounder! Then it didn't know what it thought of, its eyes rolled for a while, and then it quickly tied the mouth of the bag again.
After tying the mouth of the bag, he leaned out again and carefully looked at the two little girls under the counter. He didn't know what he was thinking in his big, deformed eyes! At the same time, it turned around and looked at the crowd around it. After finding that not many people noticed what was going on here, it thought for a while.
As if it had made some kind of decision, it began to squint its eyes and quickly cast a spell on the gold coin bag, making the bag completely disappear. It was unknown where it was hidden! After putting away the bag, it slowly sat back on its original seat at the counter and continued to write something, as if nothing had happened just now.
...
"Excuse me! Have we exchanged our gold galleons?" Hermione, who was a little impatient after waiting for a long time, saw that the goblin no longer paid attention to them and asked involuntarily.
It stands to reason that it has been so long, and the gold coins have been taken away. Seeing that it has written a lot of things, it should be considered completed, right? What about the gold galleons that were exchanged? What about the certificate of deposit? Or a check will do! If only wizard banks had a check business!
Upon hearing Hermione's question, the goblin just tilted its head and glanced at the two little girls mockingly, then continued to look away, picked up its quill and continued to pretend to write in its big ledger.
If Anne were to use mind-reading skills on it now, she would definitely find that the goblin was thinking disdainfully: Gold coins? Hum! Still want gold coins? I've never seen anything! I have never seen that big bag of gold coins of unknown origin! These are really two innocent little girls! Humans are so stupid! Hahahaha! I just like such idiots! You actually sent me so many golden and good things! Let’s have more stupid wizards like this!
"Hello! Dear Mr. Goblin! Excuse me! Where are our gold coins! Where are they now? I think it's been so long, you should exchange it for us!" After waiting for a long time, I saw this The goblin still didn't react much, and Hermione couldn't help but think of some not-so-good rumors. So, she quickly emphasized her tone and began to question.
"Gold coins? What other gold coins are there? Little human girl, haven't those dozen gold galleons been exchanged for you already? I saw you put them in!" The goblin looked at Hermione pretending to be impatient. , then stretched out a thin finger and pointed it, motioning for her to check her satchel.
"Ten, a dozen gold galleons?" Hermione subconsciously followed the goblin's instructions and touched her shoulder bag. The hard thing inside was the one hundred and fifty pounds of gold galleons she had just exchanged!
Hermione was inexplicably stunned for a while. It wasn't until she realized the goblin's true intention that she immediately reacted! Then Hermione looked up at the goblin above with incredible eyes!
Oh, God! oh! It's Mei Lin! it! This goblin! It turns out! How dare you do it in broad daylight! Just robbed them of their gold coins? No wonder it took so long! It never thought about exchanging those gold coins for them! Those thousands of gold coins have been hidden and embezzled by it! This shameless thief! Despicable thief!
"You! How dare you do this! You actually robbed our gold coins! You robber! Despicable goblin! Thief! Thief!" Hermione felt that her whole body was not good! She actually lost such a large bag of gold coins to a goblin in the wizard's bank! That's a gold coin worth at least several thousand galleons! But it can't just disappear like this! Then she started screaming uncontrollably!
Her voice immediately attracted the surrounding wizards and other goblins on the counter! Although they didn't know what was going on, they all looked sideways here, looking at the two little girls standing under the counter and the goblin employee with a gloomy expression on the counter.
Anne, who was looking at Gringotts curiously and looking around at the layout of the hall, turned her head in confusion after hearing Hermione's scream. Anne had no idea what had just happened! She didn't pay attention to what was going on here at all!
In the end, it was Tibbers who gloated in private and reminded her: That stupid goblin just now! Her belongings have been embezzled! Um! This is probably the case!
Anne finally knew what had happened, but she was not too angry. Feeling confident, she was not in a hurry to take action right away! As for property, gold coins, etc., she actually doesn't care too much about these! She was just a little confused: Do they think they are that easy to bully? Or is it that I was born with a face that is cowardly and loves to be bullied? ha! This is really interesting! So interesting!
Then looking at the arrogant short ugly goblin standing on the counter, Anne felt even more unhappy! When did such despicable cats and dogs dare to bully me? really! It was not without reason that she had always hated this creature!
"Please pay attention to your wording! Little girl! There are certain things you should not say randomly! Otherwise, the consequences will be serious!" The goblin stood up pretending to be displeased, walked to the counter, lowered his head, and said maliciously Whispered a warning to Hermione! I hope she'd better be obedient and sensible, otherwise! Hum!
"You are! You took our gold coins! But you didn't exchange them for gold Galleons for us! You are a thief! Thief! Robber!!" Hermione saw that this goblin was still cheating, and she started to get angry. Shout!
She just came to Gringotts Goblin Bank to do business, but what she never expected was that she was robbed by the bank in turn! If you say this, no one will believe it, right? However, this incident indeed happened right under her nose, Hermione Granger!
"Guard! Guard! Come here! Arrest them! Send them to the Ministry of Magic! The charge: causing trouble in Gringotts Bank! Let them deal with it seriously!" The goblin did not want to dwell on this anymore, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. So when it saw that the warning was useless, it immediately snapped its fingers and called the bank guards.
When the two guards wearing scarlet and gold uniforms who had been standing guard at the edge of the hall heard the sound, they came over immediately. One of the tall human wizard guards stood in front of Anne and Hermione, blocking all their sight, causing a sense of visual oppression! Another goblin guard stood behind Anne and Hermione, forming the most advantageous situation of outflanking them one behind the other.
Most of these human guards are adult wizards hired by the goblins. They all have powerful strength that is not inferior to ordinary Aurors! They have strong magic power and flexible reactions. They can not only complete basic defense work, but also assist goblins in handling many disputes between wizards and banks! There are many guards like this in Gringotts Goblin Bank!
"Both of you! Please cooperate with our work!" The human guard standing in front just stared at Hermione expressionlessly. As for the younger Anne, he simply ignored her! He didn't think this little girl could make much waves. On the contrary, this little girl in her teens who looked like a student needed to pay more attention. Maybe she would use a lot of spells!
"You! How dare you do this!" Hermione was so angry that she could hardly speak! She is still new to the world and has just turned 12 years old. She is now being taught a lesson by the cruelty of reality! Overcome with rage, she was about to take out the wand in her pocket and teach the nasty goblin above her a lesson!
Seeing Hermione's action of taking out something, the two guards looked at each other. The human guard in front quickly stepped forward and firmly grabbed Hermione's hand. The other goblin guard behind him immediately pressed his hand. The shoulders of the shorter Annie, they are now planning to forcefully twist the two little girls out! It's just two little girls, and they don't plan to use the wand directly yet.
"Little girl! My last warning! Come with us to the Ministry of Magic! Otherwise, don't blame us for using spells!" The human guard grabbed Hermione's hand and stared coldly into the little girl's frightened eyes. , the other hand quickly took out a wand from her pocket, that was the wand Hermione had just planned to take out!
The other goblin guard doesn't care so much. They goblins are very unfriendly to humans! So it tried hard with its hands to push Annie to the floor, tie her up, and take her away. Maybe now it could add another crime to these two little human girls! That is: trying to use a wand in Gringotts Goblin Bank! The motive is sinister!
"Wow!!" The goblin guard who put his hand on Anne's shoulder was about to push hard, but suddenly the fire from Anne's body ignited the entire palm of his hand. The flames that left Anne's body immediately became like fierce fire and kept going. It spreads on the shoulders! At that moment, it screamed fiercely, took several steps back, and then fell to the ground and rolled over! It seems that it is trying to use this method to suppress the terrible flames in itself!
"You! These! Dirty monsters! How dare you! Hack! My money?!" Annie raised her head, with a stern little face, and spoke word by word! More importantly: The goblin behind still dares to put its dirty hands on his shoulders?
As soon as she finished speaking, Annie's body began to emit blazing red flames, and her two pairs of eyes that had become hot and shiny, like lava, glanced at the goblins standing on the counter! In fact, Anne has long disliked those nasty goblins! This is great! Did she take the opportunity to get angry again? Ha ha! Come on, come on! Let you stand tall! Let you steal my money!
"You are asking for death!!!"
