Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

"Are those goblins going crazy?" Mrs. Weasley asked in shock.

Even the others couldn't help but put down the cakes in their hands and looked at Lupine in shock, as if waiting for his next words.

Everyone seemed to be listening to some strange and unbelievable story.

"Yes, they are indeed crazy." Lupine picked up someone's drink on the table and poured it all into his mouth in one go.

"To be precise, those goblins were very...very polite..." Lu Ping didn't know what words to use to describe it. "My gold coins were stolen."

Of course they were very angry when they left, but perhaps because of the strange power Tiera showed at Cornelius Fudge's magic ceremony a few days ago, they were somewhat afraid, so at first they sent five little goblins.

Lin and the negotiation team composed of three wizards hope to negotiate to get Tiera to let go of the gold."

"Of course, the result is not ideal..." Lu Ping said, "To be precise, the result is very unsatisfactory."

"Does Tiera refuse to return the gold?" Hermione asked nervously.

"No." Lupine glanced at Hermione, shook his head slightly and said, "He agreed to return the gold..."

"What? He...wait, he agreed to return the gold coins?" Hermione said confused, and then asked strangely, "He agreed to return the gold coins!?"

"Then why did he go to so much trouble to move so many gold coins to the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione asked.

"He agreed to return the gold coins, but at the same time there was a condition." Lupine sighed and said, "But the condition is that Gringotts is required to be merged into the British Magical Federation and become a banking institution under the British Magical Federation's Ministry of Finance. It will be influenced by the British Magical Federation.

The direct leadership of the Federation.”

"What?" Hermione almost screamed.

Others had the same expression as Hermione.

"What does Tiera think?" Mrs. Weasley said as if she couldn't believe it, "How dare he make such a request?"

"The reason Tiera gave is...Gringotts is an overseas organization, and in the past several turmoils caused by Voldemort, Gringotts showed its obviously incompetent defense efforts, and caused

With such a worrisome attitude, after discussions at a high-level meeting within the British Magical Federation, it was determined that Gringotts is a huge hidden danger to the safety of people's lives and property in the British wizarding community. Therefore..." Lupine took a deep breath, and then

He continued, "Therefore, after joint deliberation and decision-making at a high-level internal meeting of the British Magical Federation, Gringotts was ordered to make rectifications within a time limit and be merged into the banking department under the British Magical Federation's Ministry of Finance."

"Did those goblins from Gringotts agree?" Ron asked blankly, as if listening to a story.

"Of course not!" Hermione said.

"Gringotts did not agree," Lupine said, "and proposed...and asked Tiera to return the gold coins as soon as possible, and then they would directly withdraw from the British Ministry of Magic."

"In the words of the leader, Greg...'Since you don't trust us, then we withdraw from the UK, and you don't have to worry about our rebellion.'" Lupine said.

"Did Tiera agree?"

"I agreed," Lupine said, "and I readily agreed to the Gringotts goblins' request to return the gold coins."

"Agreed?" Harry asked in confusion, "Then why is there still a war?"

"Because Tiera asked Gringotts to submit income details," Lupine said.

"Income details?" Harry asked, "Why do you need income details? Is it to delay?"

"No, no, it's not to waste time!" Hermione suddenly shouted, standing up a little excitedly, "I know what Tiera is planning!"

"The newly promulgated Economic Law of the Magic Federation clearly states that the Magic Federation has the right to confiscate the illegal income of any individual, organization, or institution." Hermione explained excitedly.

"That is to say..." Harry also reacted.

"That is to say, Tiera asked them to provide income details because they knew that their income could not be 100% legal." Hermione continued to explain.

"I even bet that those goblins don't know exactly how much gold is in their treasure trove." Ron interjected.

"No, Ron, it doesn't matter how much gold was originally in the treasure house." Hermione said, "Now the pair of gold is in Tiera's hands. Tiera said there is as much gold as there is, which means that as long as

If Tiera is happy, it will be easy to cut off hundreds of millions of gold galleons casually."

"How many, how many, hundreds of millions!?" Ron said dumbfounded. For Ron, who has always been bad at mathematics, this number is no different from an astronomical number. "Oh my god, how much is that?"

"For us, it is an astronomical figure, but for Gringotts, it may be equivalent to the amount of a small lake filled from the sea. It's not like you haven't read last week's newspaper." Hermione said, "

It seems like last Tuesday or last Monday, the cover of the newspaper was Tiera's photo of all the gold in the Gringotts vault——"

"There is an endless ocean of gold that can make waves. It is estimated that there are hundreds of millions of them!"

"Yes." Lupine said.

"So did Gringotts submit it?" Ron asked, "The income details."

"How is that possible?" Lupine said, "Even if you can figure it out, how is it possible that those goblins in Gringotts who want money rather than their lives can't figure it out."

"They knew very well that Tiera asked them to provide income details, and they were determined to directly spend a huge amount of gold Galleons." Lupine said, "This is something that the goblins of Gringotts will never allow.

Yes, it was impossible for them to give up even one gold coin, so they rushed back to Gringotts that night when the negotiations broke down."

"Then what?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Then... alas..." Lupine sighed helplessly before continuing, "Then the goblins from Gringotts all over the world united with the Magical Federation of America and the French Ministry of Magic.

German Ministry of Magic, Austrian Ministry of Magic, Hungarian Ministry of Magic, Swiss Ministry of Magic, Brazilian Ministry of Magic, East Asia Co-Prosperity Society, Spanish Ministry of Magic, Indian Ministry of Magic, Egyptian Ministry of Magic, Icelandic Ministry of Magic, Danish Ministry of Magic, Australian Ministry of Magic, New Zealand

The Ministry of Magic and other magical societies from fifty countries and regions jointly formed the United Magical Army and issued a war notice to the British Magical Federation, demanding that the British Magical Federation return the gold coins placed deepest in the Gringotts underground."

"According to intelligence... the United Magical Army is now gathering towards the Straits of Dover in France... I'm afraid it will only take a week to assemble. They declared that if the British Magical Federation does not

Return Gringotts' gold coins and they will start a war immediately."
