Chapter 52 The Durmstrang Sale
After Professor McGonagall waited for Lu Ren and Malfoy to go away, he took Harry to an empty classroom, and told Harry not to move around here, and she would be back in a while.

After a while, she brought Wood in.

"Good job! It's not in vain that I asked for leave to see you!" Wood happily put his arms around Harry's shoulders. He was very excited and felt that his dream was about to become a reality.

Professor McGonagall also smiled and said: "If Roger of Ravenclaw did not ask me for leave, I would never approve your leave note. But since other colleges are doing this, we Gryffin Can't be too far behind."

Bridging the house divide is important, but so is Quidditch!Professor McGonagall has to grasp both sides and be hard on both sides.

Professor McGonagall was also a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team when he was young.During her last Quidditch match before graduation, she suffered a broken rib and a concussion due to a flagrant foul by a Slytherin.Since then, seeing the Slytherin team lose miserably in the Quidditch field has become her lifelong wish.
"Harry is very suitable as a Seeker." Professor McGonagall said to Wood.

"Yeah, he's so handsome when he swoops!" Wood echoed. "There are a lot of good youngsters in Gryffindor this year, and I feel that we are very close to the Quidditch Cup."

"That's good. Last year's fiasco made me reluctant to see Snape for a whole month. What a potions master, it's a pity that he has a mouth."

Due to the weird system of Quidditch, Gryffindor's shortcoming of not having a good Seeker is simply its Achilles' heel.This caused them to repeatedly fail miserably when facing other colleges. Even if Wood and the others were extremely heroic, they could not reverse the disadvantage of the version.

Seeker can play without chipping?It is really outrageous that a game that has not had a version update for hundreds of years can still maintain its vitality.

On the other side, Malfoy was cornered by Marcus.

"Excellent save, isn't it?" Looking at Malfoy huddled into a ball, Marcus felt great: a junior should look like a junior!That's how I came here back then.

"Your loyalty to Slytherin is questionable." Marcus' hot, stinking breath hit Malfoy's face.

"I'm a Slytherin, and I will follow your orders." Malfoy explained to Marcus timidly.In his world view, this is the best coping attitude.

"Very well, Draco, you are indeed very talented. I will recommend you to Professor Snape to see if you can make an exception to join the team. You have to prove your loyalty with actions." Marcus said to Satisfied with Malfoy's performance, he patted Malfoy's cheek lightly, and then left.

Meanwhile, Diagon Alley, Gringotts.

Even though it was past five o'clock in the afternoon, the halls of Gringotts were still as busy as ten o'clock in the morning.Just as Wall Street never sleeps, Gringotts never closes.

Any guest, coming at any time, will be warmly welcomed as long as he has a cute ding-dong in his pocket.

In order to grab gold coins, the goblins voluntarily bear the blessings of Gringotts one after another. Countless goblins even accept the 007 work system-they don't have so much gold in their families.

What's good about home, I love Gringotts.That's what a lot of goblins think.

At this time, many shops in Diagon Alley were closed, and there were a lot fewer people on the street.But a tall and thin middle-aged wizard came to the gate of Gringotts.

He has short white hair and a carefully groomed goatee on his thin chin.The wizard was wearing a silver and white mink coat, the coat's fur gleamed with smooth oil.

The goblins guarding the gate were a little surprised. First, very few wizards came to Gringotts at this time, and second, very few British wizards would wear mink coats.But they still put the tall and thin wizard in respectfully.

After passing through the bronze gate and the silver gate, there is the Great Hall of Gringotts.There are still nearly a hundred goblins busy in the hall.Some of them are writing with quills, some are examining gems, weighing coins, and some goblins are waving ledgers and shouting.

"The ruble will not collapse! No matter what, stabilize the exchange rate for me! I am very optimistic about the newly appointed Alexander Grigorievich..."

The quarrel was heard far away.But when the wizard walked into the hall, all the goblins took the initiative to restrain their voices.

An old goblin whose hairs in his ears had turned pale stood up tremblingly, "Oh, my old friend, Igor! What wind brought you here?"

"I have a big deal to discuss with Gringotts, dear old fellow, Lacles." Igor Karkaroff's voice was mellow and sweet.He also smiled, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth.Although there is a smile on his face and his voice is very soft, his eyes are still cold and sharp, giving people a sense of northern Europe's severe cold.

Lacles heard the hidden meaning in Karkaroff's words, but he still wanted to struggle: no goblin would dislike his lack of business. "Old friend, what kind of deal is this that makes you unwilling to deal with my old friend?"

Karkaroff's voice became icy, and he spat out a single word: "Durmstrang."

The hall, which was still buzzing, was now so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.The old Lacles had fallen into a sluggish state.Behind the counter, some clever goblins had already left quickly, looking for their seniors whom they knew well in Gringotts.

Gringotts VIP room of the highest standard.

Karkaroff was sitting on a leather sofa, with a glass of cocktail in his left hand, and a tray in his right hand filled with appetizers such as sausages, pickles, and pickles.

"Actually, you can have some kippers." Karkaroff swallowed the sausage and daliba in his mouth with the cocktail.

"Next time." A young goblin said humbly.

"There will be no next time." Karkaroff sneered.

"Honorable Mr. Karkaroff, the hospitality is not good, and you still look at the sea." The door of the VIP room opened slowly, and several goblins entered one after another.

The leading goblin was not particularly old, on the contrary, he looked very young, with a brown beard. "Let me introduce myself, I'm the Head of Credit and Investment Management at Gringotts and I'm on the Gringotts Board of Directors. My name is Estes. We're very curious about what you've said about the sale of Durmstrang. Can you talk about it in detail?"

Karkaroff didn't rush to answer him, he chewed his food bite by bite.He finished the sausage and fat sandwich in his hand slowly, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp before looking at Estes.

"I have discussed with the directors of several schools. We intend to sell the magic school in Durmstrang to Gringotts. Please make an offer. The entire school, including the school campus, collection of books and school qualifications, will be sold to you , the faculty and the administrative framework we will also retain.”

Estes understood what Karkaroff meant: the school was functioning normally, but with a complete replacement at the top.

All the directors present were moved for a while.This is really too tempting than buying and selling!
