Hogwarts in the shadows

Under the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the seven major financial groups.

Their media act as loyal mouthpieces, constantly praising the greatness of wizards.

Portrays wizards as an important milestone in human evolution.

This kind of public opinion guidance made people who originally had doubts about wizards begin to yearn for it and desire to become a wizard.

Because of his outstanding performance in this series of events, Gonzalez successfully won the position of Deputy Minister of Dark Spear.

Hermione specially sent a team to perform the wizard transformation ceremony for him and the leaders of the consortium.

But after all, these people joined the wizard camp because of the temptation of benefits, and they may turn against them at any time after getting the benefits.

In order to prevent any possible trouble, Hermione naturally had to keep something in reserve.

She left the Shadow Soldiers in their bodies.

Anyone who betrays a wizard will be greeted by the scythe of the god of death.

Just when Hermione was feeling a little dizzy from the good news that came one after another.

There was a problem in the wizard's rear.

The goblins have rebelled.

Not only did these goblins loot the contents of their personal vaults, they also openly attacked the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione blushed when she received the news.

In the conference room, other senior members of Shadow also sat around the long table.

The magic mirrors on the wall flickered.

The mirror reflects the chaotic scenes of goblin rebellions around the world.

She had never thought that these creatures, who had always been regarded as slaves by wizards, would betray the entire wizarding world at a critical moment.

"What on earth do these goblins want to do?" Hermione's voice was filled with anger.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.

She originally wanted to take advantage of this rare respite to begin deploying the second phase of Shadow's plan.

But the fairy did this and her plan had to be interrupted.

This rebellion must be resolved first.

Percy handed the report to Hermione.

His face was also full of helplessness.

He also knows the plan for the next stage.

It can be said that as long as it succeeds, the wizard will have the upper hand in the entire situation.

It's just a pity.

"According to the confessions of the captured goblins and the intelligence we collected from various sources, the goblins rebelled because of money."

He paused and continued to explain: "As the wizarding world's understanding of the Muggle world deepens.

More and more wizards are beginning to choose to use Muggle currency to purchase daily necessities.

This directly led to a significant decrease in the circulation of gold galleons in the wizarding world, and the interests of the goblins suffered an unprecedented impact.

This economic imbalance eventually led to their dissatisfaction and rebellion.”

After hearing this, Hermione felt upset.

She never expected that all this was just because of money.

Can't these goblins see the broader prospects brought about by the integration of the wizarding world and the Muggle world?

Just focus on those small things.

Her fists were clenched, her nails digging into her palms.

"What's going on now?"

Percy responded quickly, “The goblins’ actions were clearly well-planned, and they launched a rebellion simultaneously around the world.

The Ministries of Magic in many countries have been hit to varying degrees and suffered heavy losses."

“What’s going on in the UK?”

Britain is their base camp, and there must be no mistakes.

"Our defense system is relatively complete, and the Aurors were dispatched in time, successfully forcing the goblins back, and there were few casualties. However..."

He changed the subject, his tone becoming serious, "Olivander's Wand Shop has suffered heavy losses.

Not only did the goblins loot all the wands in the store, they also kidnapped Mr. Ollivander, whose whereabouts are still unknown."

"How dare they..." Hermione's face turned pale in an instant.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.

Her subsequent plans would require the use of a large number of wands.

Now that the wand shop has been looted, her plans will undoubtedly be affected.

"We must get rid of the goblins as soon as possible and not let any problems arise in our subsequent plans."

Vanasha was the first to stand up. "Send my Dark Fang! These goblins should have paid the price for their actions long ago!"

After officially joining the Shadow, she returned to Diagon Alley.

The goblins in Gringotts were still fresh in her memory.

If the timing had not been inappropriate, she would have wanted to teach those goblins a lesson right then and there.

"I think we should let the Shadow Force take care of this. They have been training for such a long time, but they haven't fought a battle yet." Percy said hastily.

He finally got a chance to take action, and he didn't want to miss it.

Hermione took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

She turned to Percy and Vanassa, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"Percy, you will lead the shadow troops to quell the riot. Vanassa, don't move your Dark Fang for now. The situation in the Muggle world is still unclear, and we still need to be vigilant."

Percy looked pleased, quickly accepted the order, and went back to prepare.

Although Vanasha was unwilling, she didn't say anything.

Hermione continued to examine the image in the magic mirror.

She continued to think about what to do after the rebellion was quelled.

After Percy left, he immediately gathered the core members of the Shadow Force and started a tense and careful task allocation.

Inside the headquarters, a huge world map was spread out on a long table, with the possible hiding places of the goblins densely marked on it.

These locations are found all over the world, from deep underground caves to remote ancient ruins and even hidden corners of bustling cities.

"We will launch a simultaneous attack around the world to wipe out these goblins in one fell swoop, and not give them any chance to hide again."

Percy divided the Shadow Force into seventeen teams, each led by an experienced captain, and each was responsible for attacking their own target stronghold.

In addition, he also set up a flexible and mobile force to deal with possible emergencies and track down escaped goblins.

Deep in the dark forest, Percy and his team moved silently among the trees like cheetahs at night.

Their target was the abandoned mine, a hiding place for the goblins.

The entrance to the mine is covered by a cleverly hidden ward, so that only the most perceptive wizards can sense its presence.

Percy signaled the team to stop, and the cracking team immediately stepped forward and began to carefully analyze the structure of the barrier.

Their wands flicked lightly through the air, emitting a faint glow as they searched for weaknesses in the barrier.

"We're ready." The head of the cracking team whispered, his eyes flashing with nervousness and excitement.

Percy nodded, raised his wand, and whispered the command: "Move."

As his voice fell, the barrier was broken in an instant, and the disguise of the cave entrance instantly dissipated, revealing the entrance to the depths of darkness.

The wizards did not hesitate at all. They entered one after another, wands in hand, ready for the upcoming battle.
