Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 166 Gringotts Bank Assets International Auction
To Klum:
It has been three years since the top three, and I miss it very much.Today, Gringotts in England has been ruined, and tens of millions of assets have been confiscated. Knowing that Er and Olivia are getting married, I send an invitation to London to participate in the asset auction, and take this opportunity to reunite with the brothers!
Sincerely, Hilbert Shafik.

"Go, Cruise. Send it to Krum!"

Hilbert stuffed the letter and invitation into the pocket tied to Cruise's leg and said.

"Now as long as our international support is large enough, Voldemort will not dare to attack easily." Seeing Hai Dongqing's disappearing figure, Taoist Lingxu said.

"Teacher, the matter of decorating the auditorium will be troublesome to you, old man!"

"Do not worry."

A few days later, Krum and Olivia's big boat docked on the Black Lake.

"Ah! Krum! Long time no see!" Hilbert greeted him with a smile.

"It's been three years, Hilbert!"

Osilvia curled her lips: "I haven't seen you for many years, how about studying?"

"Prefect! Slytherin prefect!" Hilbert said with a little pride.

"You invited us over from Russia to participate in an asset auction? What's that?"

"Secret, it's a long story..." Before Hilbert could say a word, Olivia opened her arms and hugged Hilbert tightly.Kissed him on the forehead.

Hilbert was startled, but then calmed down, enjoying the passionate kiss of the girl from the Far East with peace of mind.

The breeze brushed Olivia's slender black hair and Hilbert's silver hair.The two stood in the bustling crowd, as if it had been a long time, and it seemed that it was only a moment.

Krum smiled.

"You still come here at every turn like you did three years ago!" Hilbert smiled.

"Dude! Who else did you invite besides us?"

"Fleur. Oh! That's right! Krum, this is your seat." Hilbert took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Krum.

"One more thing, Krum, don't get mad until I'm done. Just... just..."

"What is it? Say it quickly!"

"Gellert Grindelwald, here we are now. They're also going to the auction."

"Gellert! Where is that old guy? I want..." Krumti slid up Hilbert's collar and shouted angrily.

"Calm down, Krum. I know that old Gellert thing has brought grief to your family, but he's on our side now, and he said he'd go back to Nurmengard by himself after Voldemort was defeated. The castle continues its prison life. Calm down." Taoist Lingxu rushed to stop the manic Krum.

"Sorry, I lost my temper. That's right, he killed my grandpa. He is my family's enemy! Because of you, I temporarily put aside my hatred. Sorry."

"Krum, let's go to rest first." Olivia supported Krent and said softly.

When the sun rose the next day, Hogwarts became lively with the crowing of roosters in the chicken coop.

After breakfast, the ladies began their lengthy dressing in the room on the right, while the gentlemen changed into their dresses in the room on the left.Waiting for the punctual arrival of the eight o'clock auction.

In addition to serving as the host of this time, Hilbert kept persuading Mr. Lovegood who came to watch the excitement not to wear the necklace of the Three Hallows, otherwise he would be afraid of the furious "Bulgarian black bear" (Krum) Beat Mr. Lovegood into vodka!

Ron and Hermione stood by the door, receiving and guiding the guests to their seats at the door according to the procedure of the Muggle auction.

It's eight o'clock in the morning!
The auction is starting now, and the guests who participated in the asset auction rushed into the auditorium one after another and took their seats.During the period, Mrs. Maxim and Hagrid caused jokes because they broke a few chairs, but they all shrank back under the glaring glare of Fleur and the others. Hagrid carefully supported the pregnant Mrs. Maxim Sitting on the sofa in the aisle next to it.Um!That's right!You read that right, three months ago, Madame Maxime, who was honeymooning in France, suddenly found out that she was pregnant! !
Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each one representing a Hogwarts house: Gryffindor on red with a golden lion, Ravenclaw on blue with a bronze eagle, and Ravenclaw on yellow. The one with a black badger is Hufflepuff, and the one with a green background and a silver python is Slytherin.The title "Hogwarts Gringotts Bank Assets Auction!" is written in nearly ten languages ​​including English, French, Russian, and German in the center

The sound of music sounded the signal to start the auction.

The beehive-like buzzing and laughter in the venue disappeared in an instant as if someone had pressed the mute button, and some guests who had left their seats returned to their seats one after another.

"Ahem! Dear ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Hogwarts Gringotts Bank Assets Auction. I am the host, Hilbert Shafik. A few days ago, British wizards successfully thwarted The conspiracy of Gringotts goblins has been successfully regained the wizard's financial power. The great wishes of the older generation of revolutionaries Dumbledore, Grindelwald and others have been realized. This is the first step. Next, we will realize their wishes , all things coexist. Live in peace with Muggles. Since the assets stored in Gringotts are too large, Hogwarts decided to auction off most of the remaining assets, taking this opportunity to announce to wizards all over the world that we cannot be subject to Goblin! The financial power should be in your own hands. Now, I announce the official start of the Hogwarts Gringotts Bank asset auction!"

(Applause! Cheers!)

In this auction, we will not raise the price and strive to get all Families or individuals can benefit! Now invite the auctioneer, Professor Lingxu, to come on stage and start the auction!"

"First of all, France! The total value is [-] Galleons!"

"The Delacour family and Beauxbaton bid 20!"

"30 million!"

"The Delacour family and Beauxbaton bid 60!"

"Is there any more? 60 for the first time! 60 for the second time! Deal!"

"The following is Eastern Europe!"

"Fifty thousand!" "Sixty-five thousand!" "Eighty thousand!" "Ninety-three!"

"Deal! Congratulations to Mr. Benjamin Smith, Brother Le Roux! Mr. Jordman, Mr. Krum won the bid!"

…………

After a six-hour auction, the properties in France and Eastern Europe were sold by Bill Weasley to Fleur Delacour's German company at the Gringotts Fairy Assets Auction. Some of the saints under the Racourt family and Mr. Gellert received it.Of course, part of the property was reserved for Mr. Benjamin Smith who contributed to the flames.

The property in South Asia was auctioned at the highest price by the local host, Mrs. Patil and her twin daughters, sent by the Patil family from India.

The industry in Southeast Asia was bought by some small pure-blood families (Potter family, Prince family...)
Properties in Scandinavia and Russia were sold privately by Viktor Krum and Olivia Ostrovsky.

The industries in West Asia, Oceania, and other British colonies all went into the pockets of the 28 pure-blood families and the remaining heirs.

"Now, all the assets in all countries and regions of the world have been auctioned. It's getting late today, please rest here. There will be a party tonight." Hilbert said with a "loud voice".

(warm applause)
From time to time, Olivia looked down at the land deed and house ownership certificate in the brown paper bag.When the guests were leaving, she stopped Hilbert from taking out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Hilbert.

"you consider it?"

"what is this."

Hilbert muttered, and took a look.It was found that it was actually a foreign temporary residence permit, the residence time was summer vacation, and the place of residence was Moscow, Russia.

Olivia supported Hilbert's shoulders and bent slightly: "I was thinking, if you and Daphne want to travel in the summer vacation. You can come to Russia, come to Moscow, I can be your tour guide there, you can Live with Daphne at my house and Krum's."

"This"

Holding the list, Hilbert didn't know what to say for a while.The other party gave himself a Sirius-style choice, but unfortunately Russia was too far away, and he was not Harry.Moreover, Hilbert knew Olivia's intentions. Voldemort had risen, and this temporary residence permit could also be said to be a shelter.If anything happens, Hilbert can run away with his family immediately.However, Hilbert knew that he would not do that even if he was killed.

"Thanks. I think I will!"

He must stay here, and there are still many important things to be resolved by himself.What's more, it is not a long-term thing to live under the fence.

Olivia shook her head helplessly, then opened her arms and hugged Hoffa tightly.

"Thank you, Hilbert."

"If you want to thank me, then you should hurry up and marry Krum, so that we can also have a wedding drink. You and Krum are almost twenty! Don't you worry?"

"You don't need to care about this lady's marriage! You should be careful. It's not safe here now. We will go back the day after tomorrow. Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

"Hey! Hill. What did she give you?" Daphne jumped out from behind.

"It's nothing. A temporary residence permit. It's me. I remember that we haven't been close for a while!" Hilbert said with a wicked smile on his face!

"Hmph! Wait until you catch Miss Ben!"

"See how I treat you tonight!" Hilbert hugged Daphne horizontally and lowered his head to kiss Daphne's bright red lips.Only Daphne's laughter and cursing were left floating in the Hogwarts auditorium...
