The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

boom--

The carriage rushed straight under the water curtain.

A large amount of water poured directly into the carriage, covering Link and others' heads and faces, and then quickly flowed out of the drainage facilities that had been preset in the carriage.

"Anti-thief waterfall!" Pulling the ring, who was also wet, first snapped his fingers to dry all the potion from the anti-thief waterfall on his body, and then said with some pride while controlling the joystick, "This is our ancient The key to the survival of the Lingge! It can wash away all spells and all magical disguises! Including Polyjuice Potion and the Imperius Curse!"

After saying that, Griphook turned around.

Although he showed such humility to Link and his party, this humility was for Jin Galleons.

He had never looked down upon Link and others.

Wizards, in the eyes of their goblins, are just a group of tools, or in other words, slaves, used to extract wealth!

Right now, he really wanted to see the embarrassment shown by an American upstart like Link after being soaked by the anti-thief waterfall.

This was his rare pleasure as a Gringotts receptionist!

He can't help it!

He could even imagine the shock on the faces of these wizards!

But when he actually turned around, that hidden sarcastic smile completely froze on his face.

Because he discovered that the hair and skin of Link and his group were dissolving at an alarming speed.

It's like chocolate being baked in the oven.

This is what happens after the effects of the Polyjuice Potion are washed away by the Anti-Thief Waterfall.

Griphook had seen it with his own eyes during his training.

Just... why is this happening?

How dare they! ?

Griphook's brain fell into a shutdown state for a moment.

But at this time, Link took out his wand very calmly.

"The soul is out of the body."

An almost invisible cloud of smoke surged out from the tip of the ebony wand and penetrated through Griphook's mouth and nose without any hindrance.

The next moment, Griphook's face, which had become a little distorted due to excessive shock, instantly calmed down, and his eyes became particularly dull.

"Drive us to the Lestrange family vault."

After receiving Link's order, Griphook turned his head back without any reason, controlled the car to go onto another track, and continued to drive deep into the huge underground space.

After doing all this, Link wiped his face and waved his wand, and the remaining potions on everyone and in the entire carriage evaporated instantly under the influence of his water control ability.

Of course Link knows about Thief-proof Falls.

But he didn't do anything to counteract this at all.

Because not only wizards, but also elves have been immersed in the "unbreakable" myth of Gringotts for thousands of years.

Although they now have more modern technologies and methods than before.

But he had already lost his vigilance.

The anti-thief waterfall is so expensive and an insurmountable defense mechanism that in the hands of such a group of arrogant goblins there is no need to defend it.

What Link and the others have to do is just silence them faster and prevent others from spreading the news.

It's that simple.

……

at the same time.

Little Barty was still standing on Diagon Alley, looking up at the tall and majestic door lintel of Diagon Alley.

Although it was the middle of winter, little Barty was already tormented by conflicting thoughts and was covered in sweat.

Around him, there was a huge crowd.

A group of young people who looked like they had just graduated from Hogwarts walked past him laughing, and he was unaware of it.

But the next moment, the shopping bags held by the young people were lifted up at a very strange angle.

bang bang bang-

Several red lights suddenly appeared.

It tore up the paper bag, tore up the jubilant atmosphere in Diagon Alley, and shot straight towards Barty.

hum!

A translucent shield shadow instantly formed in front of Little Barty, blocking the wave of attacks.

This made little Barty wake up from his tangled thoughts.

He first looked at the assassins opposite him in great horror, and then looked at the wand in his hand.

He just... obviously didn't do anything.

But the wand released the Iron Armor Charm on its own?

If Ollivander were here right now, he would probably jump with excitement.

Because after so many years, he finally witnessed the rare scene of the wand spontaneously protecting its owner again!

This only happens with wands with phoenix tail feathers as the core.

The phoenix tail feather wand is very unpredictable in nature, and often acts against the wizard's wishes.

Many wizards scorn the phoenix tail feather wand because of this.

But there are a very lucky few who benefit from this.

Little Barty also dislikes the escape feature of the Phoenix Tail Feather Wand.

This was not his wand originally, but because Voldemort's wand used a phoenix tail feather wand, out of blind worship and imitation of Voldemort, he forced himself to use this new wand.

But he didn't expect that this rubbish wand that usually made him want to break it would actually save him today.

If little Barty knew about it, he would probably pick up the wand and kiss it hard, right?

It's a pity that he didn't have time to think about the reason.

Because the young assassins on the opposite side launched a new round of attack again.

At the same time, several seemingly ordinary passers-by nearby also took out their wands and pointed them at him.

"ah!"

Little Barty shouted angrily, and his entire lower body instantly turned into black mist, lifting him up into the air.

Flying spell.

This was something he deliberately learned to imitate Voldemort's fighting style.

But he missed a very important point.

That is, the flying speed of the flying spell itself is actually not very fast.

Voldemort's magic power was so powerful that he kept using the flying spell as fast as a firebolt.

And little Barty obviously doesn't have the same strength as Voldemort.

hum!

Along with a dense buzzing sound, slender light whips stretched out from the tips of the assassins' staffs.

The assassins waved their wands in unison, and several light whips intertwined into a large net in the air, covering Little Barty's head directly.

The next moment, little Barty was dragged back to the ground from the air.

An old wizard with white beard and hair quickly stepped forward, the tip of his staff blooming with scarlet light.

This light reflected on little Barty's face, dyeing his eyes blood red.

At this most dangerous moment, little Barty did not choose to release a defensive spell to resist. Instead, he gritted his teeth and pointed his wand into the sky, using the most skilled magic in his life.

"Bone reappears!"

boom--

A green light rose into the sky and penetrated directly into the clouds.

Immediately after the red light fell, the wand in Little Barty's hand was instantly knocked away, and he himself was knocked unconscious by the hunters on the side.

The mission target has been captured, but the looks on the faces of the hunters are particularly ugly.

They all looked up and saw that the originally clear sky was now covered with dark clouds. A huge skull was slowly taking shape with a green light, and a ferocious winding cloud emerged from its mouth. Python.

"This is messed up! What do we do now?"

A young hunter said anxiously.

After hearing this, the sworn old wizard gritted his teeth and said:

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Take this guy back first and send a warning message to the young master immediately!"

After receiving the order, the hunters no longer hesitated.

Several people quickly formed a circle with little Barty as the center, and then with a burst of body distortion, they apparated and disappeared.

This battle only lasted less than a minute before it ended, so that the passers-by didn't react until all the hunters disappeared.

Everyone looked at the place where the hunters were standing, and then looked up at the dark mark that was still spreading and twisting in the sky, and they were stunned.

For a moment, Diagon Alley, which was originally bustling with people, became silent.

After a long time, a shrill scream broke the silence.

It's like a signal.

Immediately, the pedestrians fled in all directions, and the goblin guards at the entrance of Gringotts closed the door immediately.

As the door suddenly closed, chaos and uneasiness gradually spread in the marble hall.

Many guests who were still doing business began to rush towards Gringotts' internal floo network fireplace, but more people were at a loss.

Seeing the crowd gradually losing control in front of him, an old goblin sitting at the back of the counter adjusted his glasses and screamed in a trembling voice:

"Notify the Ministry of Magic quickly! Death Eaters have invaded Diagon Alley!!"

……

In Knockturn Alley, which is connected to Diagon Alley, everyone also witnessed strange noises in the sky.

In this sudden change, these "quasi-dark wizards" who have been wandering in gray places all year round did not perform much better than the ordinary people in Diagon Alley.

There was hardly any hesitation.

The stores, led by the Bojinbok store, closed the shop.

They did this much more neatly than the merchants in Diagon Alley. Those customers who were still in the store and refused to leave were all driven out by them with wands, or killed directly.

The crackling and explosions of the Apparition Curse continued to sound on the damp and dark streets.

Soon Knockturn Alley, which was originally not lively, became completely deserted, with only a few lunatics left who were still worshiping the Mark of the Dark Demon feverishly.

In a shop not far away without a signboard, a figure shrouded in black robes was looking up at the mark of the black devil.

His face, which was covered by darkness, looked solemn.

As a Death Eater who was sent to Knockturn Alley by Voldemort to engage in intelligence investigation, it was also one of his responsibilities to pick up and monitor Barty Jr.

Little Barty will probably never know that his embarrassing behavior in the past few days has already been traced by this Death Eater.

Due to the fact that Barty Jr. was a popular figure in front of Voldemort, the Death Eater actually had no intention of reporting these matters to the public and thereby offending Barty Jr.

But it’s not possible right now.

Barty Jr. dared to release the Dark Mark in Diagon Alley!

This can no longer be described as simple stupidity.

At the moment, the Ministry of Magic still doesn't want to believe the fact that Voldemort has returned. This is great news for them, but if Barty Jr. does this, it's hard to say what will happen next.

And why did Barty Jr. do this suddenly?

Has this been achieved?

The shadow Death Eater shook his head quickly.

Barty Jr.'s useless performance in the past few days left a very deep impression on him. He didn't believe that Barty Jr. could easily succeed just a few days later.

Then there is only one answer left.

Little Barty had an accident...

That dark mark is actually a signal for help!

'This matter must be reported to His Highness the Dark Lord immediately! '

With this thought in mind, he slowly raised a wand.

crackling—

……

Gringotts underground.

The train slowly stopped on the track.

Link took Emily out of the car.

Everyone's expressions were very calm, only Si Gefen's face was a little gloomy.

The scene where Link used the Imperius Curse on the elf Griphook just now had a huge impact on him.

You must know that the Imperius Curse is one of the three Unforgiven Curses!

Perhaps many wizards from Muggle families cannot understand.

After all, a knife is a knife and a person is a person.

The subject of the mistake is the human being, and the knife is just an unconscious tool.

You can't say that all people who use knives are evil just because someone did bad things with knives.

So what do you think of those who cook with knives?

But what these Muggle family wizards don't understand is that there is a reason why those three curses are unforgivable!

Countless families have suffered disaster due to the Unforgivable Curse.

To a certain extent, these three curses are not 'knives' in the usual sense at all!

At this moment, Link actually used the Imperius Curse in front of him without any concealment. This was really unacceptable to Si Gefen. This was not in line with his understanding of justice.

But Si Gefen didn't intend to fall out with Link on the spot.

He planned to finish what happened today first, as Link said.

Think of it as giving Link a chance to explain.

If Link still can't convince himself after today, then he can't help the tiger even if he dies!

Gritting his teeth, Si Gefen also walked out of the carriage.

At this moment, even they themselves don't know how deep they are.

Everyone looked up and stared upwards. Except for the faint, star-like magic lamp near the rock wall track, they could not see the bright entrance at all.

Si Gefen knocked on the ground with his long sword that had been made of iron.

The echo that came out was not as crisp as I imagined, but rather empty and strange.

It was as if they had almost reached the center of the earth.

Si Gefen's face instantly turned extremely pale.

Sensing his strangeness, both Link and Newland glanced at him with contempt.

His thoughts are actually not difficult to guess at all.

After all, most children who grew up in pure wizarding families have not received basic science education, and they simply do not understand how huge the earth is under their feet.

Don't talk about the center of the earth.

The underground space that the goblins have carved out over thousands of years probably hasn't even penetrated half of the earth's crust.

Otherwise, they would have been killed by the heat.

Link withdrew his gaze and ordered Griphook:

"Continue to lead the way."

The goblin Griphook was speechless, but silently got out of the driver's seat and walked forward as if he was sleepwalking.

They followed together into the darkness.

Not long after the few people left, a clanging sound came into their ears.

The sound was not so loud that everyone involuntarily held their breath, wanting to hear it more clearly.

But this was unnecessary, because the sound became clearer and clearer as they moved forward, as if they were approaching the source of the sound.

Finally, they turned a corner, and the scene in front of them made everyone stop suddenly.
