I, Hogwarts Second Week

Everyone turned around and left immediately without saying a word.

Time was running out and they couldn't care less about the goblin's loss.

Getting to Diagon Alley from the Goblin Kingdom is relatively easy.

Because whether it's Hermione or Theseus Scamander, they carry the Portkey with them.

This allows them to get back to the UK as quickly as possible.

December 26, 1996.

It was freezing cold in Diagon Alley in the early morning.

The clouds are gathering in London.

Snowflakes fell from the sky.

The only thing quiet on the street was the sound of wind blowing through the hall.

There was no light at all.

It's like this is some kind of dead city.

The huge, crooked marble building in the distance is very conspicuous.

There is the economic lifeline of the wizarding world, Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

At this moment, the bank's door is closed.

Four or five wizards in black robes stood on the street like iron towers.

They were warning bystanders not to come forward.

In the dark night, the smell of blood spreads with the wind.

Like a demon devouring all living beings, it looks down at all living beings on this earth from the nine heavens.

"Wha-" Suddenly a magic spell flew towards the gate of Gringotts.

There was a "boom".

The two shiny bronze doors that had existed for countless years were blown to pieces.

The sound of crashing caused the crystal ceiling in the hall to fall to the ground.

The door was blasted open.

The true appearance inside was revealed.

There was blood and goblin corpses all over the ground.

A long counter where hundreds of goblins sat in a row was torn into pieces by some terrible force.

The place was a mess.

"who?"

The dark wizard guarding the gate immediately threw the evil curse in the direction from which the curse had just been driven.

The light suddenly brightened, and someone resisted those spells.

"Almost too late." Two people suddenly walked out of the shadows of the street.

One male and one female.

All very young.

"Bill, deal with them, what a waste of words."

Countless balls of light fell from the sky, and then Moody, Kingsley and other members of the Order of the Phoenix stepped out of the light.

"Hurry up. The mysterious man may be deep inside Gringotts."

Moody said.

He raised his wand and waved it hard. A magic spell came out and hit one of the guards.

"Let's see if there are any survivors. We'll leave immediately if we find anyone."

Kingsley frowned.

He didn't agree with such a high-profile fight with Death Eaters, especially here, in Diagon Alley.

This place now belongs to the Death Eaters.

They will most likely be surrounded by enemies.

Besides, no one was sure whether Voldemort was here.

"He won't be here." Theseus Scamander also walked out of the light group.

If Voldemort has already obtained the [Blade of Prometheus], ​​then he should be hiding somewhere at this time to study this terrible artifact.

The treasures of Gringotts held no attraction for him.

He only attacked Gringotts simply to kill the goblins and hide his intentions.

And how could he personally carry out such a trivial matter?

Of course, they have to be careful and move quickly.

Once the Death Eaters were given time to summon Voldemort, the situation was completely different.

The four guards in black robes are not very powerful.

But because it was also transformed into a monster by Voldemort, it is difficult to kill.

Facing the attacks from everyone, they actually resisted a few attacks.

But after a few moves, he was overwhelmed by the overwhelming spell.

"Go in and have a look."

Theseus Scamander said solemnly.

Then everyone quickly climbed up the stairs. Want to enter Gringotts.

But at this moment, several roars suddenly came from the deserted street.

"Wait - what's the sound?" Sirius, who also arrived here, stopped everyone.

"It seems to be the roar of a giant dragon." Lupine frowned, "But why is there a giant dragon here, and the sound seems to be coming from the soles of our feet."

"Soles of feet?" Theseus Scamander was startled.

Immediately, he noticed a slight vibration under his feet.

The vibrations became stronger and stronger.

The whole Gringotts is shaking!

"Get out!" Theseus Scamander said decisively.

The others didn't stay for even a minute and all exited the stairs of Gringotts.

Then in their shocked eyes.

A huge dragon, a silver fire dragon, was breaking through the ground with its claws and fangs, and then climbed up the pillars in the hall.

Finally it broke through the glass dome on top of Gringotts.

The fire dragon raised its head and roared out flames.

Then it flapped its wings and took off with little success.

It roared over the rooftops of the buildings in Diagon Alley like a bomber, and after trampling on countless buildings, it finally succeeded in flying.

"There are several goblins on the dragon's back." Moody said seriously. His magic eyes stretched and focused like crazy, and he could clearly see everything on the dragon's back.

"It should be the survivors who escaped." Theseus Scamander said.

"I didn't expect that the goblin would raise a giant dragon under Gringotts." Lupine said with emotion.

"The usual method of goblins." Sirius explained, "They will arrange fire dragons or sphinxes to guard the safest vault."

As the male member of the Black family. Of course Sirius knew this secret about goblins.

After all, the Black family's treasury is of the highest security level.

"Catch up." Theseus Scamander said, and then he Apparated away from the spot.

The others also Apparated and followed.

A few breaths later.

Dozens of black smoke flew out of the ruins of Gringotts.

Those were Death Eaters, who came to hunt down the goblins who escaped with the dragon.

Theseus Scamander immediately found this group of people.

"Divide into two teams." He said: "Kingsley and Moody, you lead the team to stop the Death Eaters. The Weasley kid, you and your girlfriend follow and move the goblins to a safe place."

"Understood--"

"Let's do it!"

"I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I've been holding my anger for several days." Sirius said with a sneer.

Then he stopped and raised his wand with the other wizards responsible for interception and shot a spell at the black shadow in the sky.

On the other side, Bill and Fleur quickly caught up with the dragon.

The poor beast was seriously injured, with scars all over its belly, tail and back. Some of the wounds had already turned black and purple, and there was a foul stench of decay. It was obvious that it was cursed.

It was a miracle that it could fly for so long.

In the air, the shaky figure finally couldn't hold on and fell into the bank of the Thames.

"I'm Bill, Bill Weasley!"

Bill Apparated to the river bank and shouted loudly to several goblins.

Several goblins raised their heads weakly, staring at Bill with round eyes.

After a while, an old voice sounded.

"I remember you, you are the kid from the Egyptian excavation team."

"Yes, it's me." Bill and Fleur hurried forward.

"Don't struggle now, you are cursed and are losing a lot of blood now. I will take you to a safe place."

Hearing this, several goblins remained silent, which was considered as agreement.

After all, they no longer had the strength to refuse at this time.

Bill and Fleur each held some goblins.

Then they Apparated away from here.

————

On the other side.

On a cliff.

Hermione was standing on the windowsill of a cottage, staring at the dark sea in the distance.

This is a lonely and beautiful place.

The cottage she was in was Bill and Fleur's Shell Cottage, named after the walls made of shells.

Theseus Scamander would naturally not allow the little wizard to go to Diagon Alley.

The Goblin Kingdom was a thing of the past, but Gringotts was in danger.

So Hermione, Harry and other little wizards waited here for a while.

"I don't know what's going on?" Hermione's heart was full of worries.

The cold and salty sea breeze in the distance blew on her face, calming the restlessness in her heart.

"Hermione - Bill and the others are back." Harry shouted in the room.

Then everyone rushed out of the house to greet them.

Hermione followed closely, watching Bill and Fleur bring back several seriously injured goblins.

"How are they?" Hermione asked hurriedly.

"Very serious injuries, and some curses, I don't know if they can survive." Bill answered quickly, and then arranged these goblins into the room.

Hermione followed, she felt that she could help.

Bill naturally knew Hermione's ability.

But he knew that some of these goblins would definitely not be able to hold on.

Remove the curse, bandage the wound, and restore blood.

After treating these goblins, a red sun has risen from the sea.

Bill guessed correctly, only three of the five goblins he brought back survived the treatment.

The other two died during the treatment due to excessive blood loss and curses.

"Hermione, go and rest." Fleur said tiredly: "No matter what you want to ask, you have to wait for these goblins to wake up."

"I know." Hermione nodded.

Then returned to the alchemy workshop in Hogsmeade Village.

Four hours later, she appeared again at Shell Cottage.

"Oh, Hermione?" It was Roy Sylph who spoke.

"Drink this." She looked at Hermione who looked tired, "It will be good for you."

Hermione took the potion from Roy's hand and drank it with her head tilted back.

Suddenly, she felt a warm current flowing into her lower abdomen, and then the warm current flowed through her body, and Hermione felt relieved.

"Aunt Roy, why are you here?"

"No one is here." Roy said, "Sirius heard that the goblins were seriously injured, so he asked me to take a look."

"Oh--" Hermione remembered that Aunt Roy in front of her was an alchemist who learned from Grandma Wenda, and her treatment level was not inferior to the therapists of Rochelle Magical Disability Hospital.

"You are very skilled in healing magic." Roy praised, "You responded in time, and there is not much I can do. I guess they will wake up in a while."

As he said, Roy patted the empty seat on the sofa next to him.

"Would you like to take a nap? I'll call you when the goblin wakes up."

"Thank you." The little witch didn't refuse.

She sat next to Roy and leaned against her.

But she didn't sleep. Instead, she took out the stone tablet from the underground ruins of the goblin kingdom and studied it.

Seeing this, Roy just smiled.

No interruption.

About an hour later, the sun gradually rose.

Near noon, the poor winter sunshine could not completely dispel the heaviness in the air caused by the unknown.

Theseus Scamander came to Shell Cottage.

Sirius and Lupin also came with him.

"Is there any new news?" Sirius asked impatiently almost the moment he rushed into the door, his voice mixed with anxiety and eagerness that could not be concealed.

Hearing the voice, Roy looked back at him and shook his head, his expression was equally solemn. "No, the injured goblins are still in critical condition. Most of them are still struggling in a coma and can't provide us with any clues."

"Damn it!" Sirius cursed in a low voice, and his fists clenched involuntarily: "I don't know if the goblins we rescued are useful."

Lupin patted Sirius's shoulder gently, trying to calm his excited emotions. "Don't say that, we saved some innocent lives."

"I don't care about the life and death of goblins at all." Sirius shouted: "I shouldn't have intervened when the goblin kingdom rebelled before."

"Okay. Let's talk about business first." Theseus Scamander interrupted the conversation between the two.

The old man looked worried.

"The Gringotts incident has become a big deal."

"After all, the situation is so big that the Ministry of Magic can't hide it."

"So the Ministry of Magic put the blame on us." Sirius said angrily. "The Daily Prophet was talking a lot of bullshit early in the morning, saying that we were the ones who massacred the goblins in order to loot the treasures of Gringotts and accumulate funds to subvert the wizarding world. Damn it - this is simply the most shameless and despicable smear I have ever seen."

"Now the situation is clear." Roy said: "Most people in the wizarding world know that the You-Know-Who controls the Ministry of Magic. They won't believe the lies in the Daily Prophet. They just don't dare to speak out because of the power."

"In the melee this morning, we caught a Death Eater." Theseus Scamander said coldly.

"After interrogating all morning, we got a piece of news."

"What news?" Roy looked at him.

Hermione also curiously put away the manuscript about the slate in her hand, and looked at Theseus Scamander.

"The mysterious man asked the Death Eaters to send more people to Hogwarts in the next week."

"Hogwarts?" Roy frowned. Hogwarts is now in Voldemort's hands. Why is it necessary to send more people at this time?

Hermione's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Could it be that Voldemort discovered that she organized the little wizards to resist the school's Death Eaters?

This is impossible. Not to mention that she did it very carefully, those who joined the D.A. have signed a contract. There is a curse on the contract. If someone informs, the three words "informer" will appear on the face of the informer.

Even if Voldemort really knew her plan. There is no need to send more people to deal with this matter. Just let Snape clean up the little wizards.

This matter always reveals a bit of weirdness.

"Perhaps this may be related to the news we are about to get from the goblins." Theseus Scamander said inexplicably. "I have a hunch that the You-Know-Who must have learned something from the goblins, so he arranged for the Death Eaters to send more people into Hogwarts."

"Now, we have to consider taking back Hogwarts."

"Take back Hogwarts?" The others' eyelids jumped.

Because they knew very well what this meant.

"Are we going to launch the final battle?"
