Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

"Yes, that's a goblin." Hagrid whispered calmly as they walked towards the man along the white stone steps.

This goblin was about a head shorter than Harry, had a dark face that showed intelligence, and a pointed beard. Harry found that his hands and feet were particularly long.

When they entered, the goblin bowed to them. Then a second door appeared in front of them, which was silver. The following words were engraved on the two doors:

Come in, stranger.

But you have to be careful about the consequences of being greedy.

Those who blindly ask for something without any effort will be severely punished.

So if you try to take a piece of wealth from our underground vaults that never belonged to you, thief, you have been warned, be careful not to bring wealth but evil retribution.

"I tell you, if you want to rob a bank, you're crazy," Hagrid said.

But Harry still robbed him once in seventh grade, Tiera said silently in her heart.

The two goblins bowed to them and led them into a tall marble hall. There were about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a row of long counters. Some used copper scales to weigh coins, and some used eyepieces to examine gems.

, while scribbling a record in the big ledger. There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins guide visitors to enter these doors. Hagrid and Harry walked towards the counter.

"Good morning." Hagrid greeted an idle goblin.

"We're going to take some money from Harry Potter's vault, as well as Tiera Witch's student loan."

"Your key and proof of Hogwarts." The elf said somewhat arrogantly.

"Yes, yes, I remember I brought it with me, um... where did I put it." Hagrid fumbled around in the deep pockets of his leather jacket for a while, took out all the items in his pockets and put them on the counter. He accidentally put a

He put the moldy dog ​​biscuits on the goblin's ledger. The goblin wrinkled his nose. Harry looked at the goblin on the right who was weighing a pile of rubies the size of red-hot coals.

"Ah ha, I found it." Hagrid finally said, picking out a small key and a small piece of letter paper and handing them to the goblin.

"It should be no problem." The goblin said after reading the letter carefully, then picked up the key and looked at it carefully.

"I also have a letter here written by Professor Dumbledore." After Hagrid took back all the debris scattered on the table, he took out another letter from the heart pocket of his leather coat and said solemnly, "

It’s about the thing from Vault 713.”

Even though Hagrid spoke very quietly, Tiera was still keen to catch it and at the same time pinched the thing in her jacket pocket.

The goblin read the letter carefully.

"Very good." He said, handed the letter back to Hagrid, then took out a hundred gold galleons from the counter, put it heavily into a dark brown cowhide bag, and then took a quill and wrote on Hagrid's first

He made a mark on the letter he had handed over for the first time, and then handed the cowhide bag containing one hundred gold galleons and the letter paper to Tiera.

Tiera took the brown leather bag and the letter paper and saw the seven columns of Hogwarts review opinions on the student loan on the letter paper.

The column representing the first grade has been crossed out by the goblin just now, in exchange for one hundred gold galleons.

"You can come back to collect student loans seven times in the future." The goblin sitting at the counter said, "If you have Muggle currency, we can also convert it into gold galleons for you, but you can only deal with one hundred gold galleons every year.

.”

"Okay, Mr. Goblin, please help me exchange it for one hundred gold galleons." Tiera took out the pounds from her leather bag, counted five hundred pounds from it, and handed it to the goblin.

"There is still a 1% handling fee." The goblin said again in a sharp voice.

Tiera had no choice but to take out another five pounds and give it to the goblin.

After counting five pounds, the goblin counted out another hundred gold galleons and handed it to Tiera.

"Okay, you've finished your work here. I'll find someone to take you to these two underground vaults. Griphook!"

Griphook was another goblin. Hagrid and Harry Tiera followed Griphook out of the hall through one of the doors.

"What's this kid doing here?" Griphook stared at Tiera with sharp eyes, "You can just wait here."

"Well, I, I think, I want to go with you to see the vault of the Wizarding Bank, okay? Harry." Tiera seemed to be startled by Griphook, and stammered.

Tiera knew that as long as Harry spoke about this kind of thing, it would be useless for the goblin to object.

"He's with us, what's your problem? Griphook?" Hagrid blocked Griphook and Tiera and said sarcastically, "This is our Hogwarts student, shouldn't you be afraid?"

Is such a student going to rob your bank?"

Harry nodded along with him.

Seeing that both Hagrid and Harry insisted without saying anything, Griphook turned around and continued to lead the three of them towards the depths of Gringotts.

Griphook and Tiera didn't know each other at all, let alone have personal vendettas. Goblins just instinctively hated anyone who took gold coins from their hands.

It's their nature, like greedy spiders.

"What is the 'item' in the underground vault of No. 713?" Harry asked.

"I can't tell you this." Hagrid said mysteriously, "This is an absolute secret. It's about Hogwarts. Dumbledore trusted me and gave it to me. This is my job. You can't

Let me tell you."

Griphook opened the door for them both. Harry expected to see a lot of marble again, but he was surprised. In front of him was a narrow stone corridor, which was brightly illuminated by burning torches. The stone corridor was a steep path.

Downhill, there was a small railway below. Griphook blew a whistle, and a small cart rushed towards them along the railway. They climbed onto the car, but Hagrid had to spend a lot of effort to compare himself.

A much taller body than ordinary people squeezes into a small mine cart.

Then they set off.

At first, they were speeding along the maze-like winding corridors. Harry wanted to remember the path he had taken and turned left.

Turn right, turn right, turn left, the middle fork in the road, turn right again, turn left again, I can't remember at all. The clicking cart seems to be conscious and knows the road by itself, so there is no need to pull the ring to drive.

The cold air whizzed past, causing Harry a little pain despite wearing his glasses several times, not to mention Tiera, who closed her eyes and hugged Hagrid's thick arms tightly, as if he had done it in a previous life.

It's as exciting as a roller coaster, but this time the protection is rudimentary.

They turned left and right for a while and finally stopped.

When the mine cart just stopped, Tiera almost vomited, but she still held it back and followed Griphook to an iron gate with a pale face.

Pulling the ring to open the door lock. A thick green smoke came out of the door. After the smoke cleared, Harry took a breath. Inside were piles of gold coins, silver bars and mountains of bronze Knuts.

.

"This is all yours." Hagrid said with a smile.

They are all Harry's! It's so enviable, Tiera's eyes widened when she saw it.

Same goes for Harry.

Hagrid and Tiera helped Harry put the gold galleons into the bag.

Harry even wanted to give one to Tiera on the spot.

But Tiera refused on the spot.
