Hogwarts: The Founder Reborn

Chapter 133 The Gold Cup and the Suicide Note

Just when almost everyone in the wizarding world was paying attention to the Triwizard Tournament, the Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, had to keep smiling and take a few people to Gringotts.

They are going to check Bellatrix's assets.

Sirius not only invited Narcissa Malfoy, but also Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, I thought you'd be busy with competitions recently?"

Fudge smiled a bit forcedly, he thought that Sirius would not be so brilliant, after the Quidditch match, Sirius did stop for a while, but it was obvious that they appeared at the gate of Gringotts now because of Sirius Sirius had never given up on what he had said during the Quidditch match.

Sirius smiled and said: "I firmly believe that if there is anyone in the entire magical world who is absolutely just, then only Principal Dumbledore is the only one, so I invited him to be an old man. In case anyone doubts my intentions, such as for those who are already married Sister's wealth, coveting? Or intending to occupy it? Or simply to fight against the Ministry of Magic!"

He looked at Fudge with a smile: "I don't have such thoughts, my lord minister. I swear in the name of Merlin, I just care about my sister."

Fudge forced a smile, then looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded slightly to Fudge, and said, "I'm just a witness, don't pay too much attention to me."

They went underground with the goblin. Originally, the goblin was unwilling to cooperate with this operation. After all, neither the Ministry of Magic nor Sirius was the original owner of the Bella Vault. For the protection of personal assets, That certainly doesn't allow them to view it.

As a result, Sirius said: "Are you sure I can't do it? If Bella has any accidents, I can inherit her property."

There is indeed no one in the Lestrange family. If something happens to Bella in Azkaban, then her property will really be inherited by Sirius, as well as Narcissa and Andromeda, although Andromeda They were not present today, but facing Narcissa and Sirius as heirs, the goblins still compromised.

"Just check, don't touch anything, after all, Mrs. Lestrange hasn't died yet."

They followed a goblin named Bogrod to the ground, and then, Griphook opened Bella's vault, and he warned everyone again not to casually take property that does not belong to him.

Fudge smirked and said, "Look, I think this is enough to prove the innocence of me and the Ministry of Magic."

With the opening of the door, everyone naturally saw the wealth of Bella's vault. The reporter with a camera behind him was filming frantically. Sirius looked around the vault, looking for suspicious things.

And Dumbledore's eyes fell on a place in the vault.

"What's that?" said Dumbledore. "Is this... the thing I thought of?"

Everyone's eyes followed his movements.

It was a little gold cup with a badger on it, so alive, its features were too obvious.

Dumbledore looked at the others suspiciously: "That's Hufflepuff's gold cup? Isn't it?"

The crowd did not speak.

"Whether it's the Black family or the Lestrange family, I remember that they have nothing to do with the Hufflepuff family." Dumbledore said, his eyes behind the glasses were so deep, and he spoke in a slow tone. "When Ms. Hufflepuff passed away, she left her last words, saying that she would contribute all her wealth to Hogwarts to fund her beloved school."

"Later, it was because of her great-nephew, Mr. Adrian Hufflepuff's outstanding contributions to Hogwarts. The headmaster of Hogwarts at that time gave the Hufflepuff Gold Cup to this Adrian After all, sir, he loves Ms. Hufflepuff, and a gold cup representing Ms. Hufflepuff would be a very nice present."

Dumbledore tells the story about the Hufflepuff Cup.

"Mr. Adrian once made an agreement with Hogwarts. He planned to return the gold cup to Hogwarts after his death. Unfortunately, his death was a bit sudden. It will be difficult to talk about the gold cup later. He His children did not recognize his wishes, and felt that the Cup should be kept by the Hufflepuffs."

Dumbledore couldn't hide his regret: "But according to Ms. Hufflepuff's last wish, she gave all her wealth to Hogwarts, and the gold cup belongs to Hogwarts."

Fudge looked at Dumbledore, and seemed to understand what Dumbledore meant. He was a little unbelievable, and said to Dumbledore: "Are you going to take this gold cup away?!"

"Oh, Connelly, the gold cup belongs to Hogwarts, and that is Ms. Helga's clear gift to Hogwarts! Do I need to go back to Hogwarts to get Ms. Hufflepuff's suicide note?"

Dumbledore looked straight at Minister Fudge.

"You can't do this! This is Bellatrix Lestrange's treasury. Everything here belongs to her. Unless it is her or her heir after death, no one can Anything here is allowed!"

The goblin screamed sharply.

Dumbledore glanced over sharply: "But, the Hufflepuff Gold Cup belongs to Hogwarts! It is the property of Hogwarts!"

Minister Fudge was torn between the angry goblin and the steadfast Dumbledore.

"Merlin, Albus, do you have to do this? It's just an ordinary gold cup!" Fudge tried to dissuade Dumbledore from taking the gold cup.

"If you think so, then I will announce Helga Hufflepuff's suicide note tomorrow. I must tell everyone that the ownership of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup belongs to Hogwarts! No matter the Gold Cup Why does it appear here, no matter how Madam Lestrange got it, it really belongs to Hogwarts!"

Sirius immediately stood up to support Dumbledore.

Dumbledore continued: "What's more, Gryffindor's sword, Slytherin's locket, and Ravenclaw's crown are all in Hogwarts now! I think, if the four founders appear in Here, I also hope that my representative relics can stay in Hogwarts!"

"There's no reason, there's no reason. The relics of the other three are in Hogwarts, but Hufflepuff's gold cup is missing!"

Dumbledore's eyes were sharp, so Fudge had to turn to persuade the goblin: "Yes, I think Dumbledore is right, the Hufflepuff Gold Cup should indeed be returned to Hogwarts."

Gringotts still found an excuse to drive everyone away, but soon, the wizarding world was arguing about the ownership of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

According to the suicide note of Helga himself shown by Dumbledore, the gold cup should belong to Hogwarts and be temporarily managed by successive headmasters, and then look at the relics of the other three founders shown by Dumbledore. Then a gold cup is indeed a bit wrong.

At least the wizards who graduated from Hufflepuff felt that the Gold Cup should go back to Hogwarts.

Don't underestimate Hufflepuff. In terms of the number of graduates, it crushes the other three colleges.

So, under the mediation of the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and Professor Sprout quietly brought back the gold cup from Gringotts.

"Suicide note? Helga, did you really leave such a suicide note?"

Afterwards, Rowena asked Helga curiously.

"I'm grateful to Dumbledore," said Helga with a false smile.

"what?"

"He didn't hang my complete suicide note on the headlines of the newspaper!!!"

"What's the complete suicide note?" Rowena asked.

"No one will know anymore." Helga held up her wand, expressing that she planned to raid the principal's office at night tonight.

Godric sneered, and made a bet with Salazar in a low voice: "I guess, she must have written something special."

"Like?" Salazar asked.

"She has a crush on the dean of the college next door." Godric said with a chuckle in Salazar's ear.

Salazar touched his chin and said, "If I ask Albus in the name of curiosity, will he show me the full version of the suicide note?"

Helga's sharp eyes quickly killed the past.
