Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

"So... the British Magical Federation still refuses to return Gringotts' gold coins?"

After reading the letter handed to him by his secretary, George Romney, the president of the American Magical Association, said as if he had expected it.

"In this case, we have no choice but to fight." George Romney said with a smile, then stood up from the office chair, turned around, went to the wine cabinet behind him, and took out a bottle of champagne——

"Tommy, go get a cup and have a drink with me." George Romney ordered.

"But, father... I don't understand?" Tommy Romney, secretary to the president of the American Magical Association and George Romney's youngest son, asked puzzledly, "You act as if the war is a good thing."

"Of course it's a good thing." George Romney explained with a smile, "Also, you will call me sir in the workplace from now on."

"Yes, sir."

"But...but father...sir, won't a lot of people die in the war?" Tommy Romney said nervously, "Especially when we face monsters like Tiera, aren't you afraid that he will kill us?"

Are all people... all... assimilated?"

"Hehehe..." George Romney laughed softly, just like when he disagreed with different opinions at the banquet, but smiled politely, "Tommy, Tommy, you are still too young,

Too easily deceived."

"Please clarify, sir," Tommy said.

"What do you think Tiera is?" George Romney asked rhetorically.

"Well... yes... he is a god." Tommy answered cautiously.

"Hahahahahahaha..." George Romney suddenly laughed. It was no longer the smug and condescending fake smile, but the kind of unrestrained and heartfelt laughter.

"Oh, son, son, you are still too young to be deceived by such clumsy lies." George Romney stopped laughing and began to explain patiently, "There is no such thing as becoming a god.

ceremony."

"What happened at Cornelius Fudge's inauguration was an elaborate farce," said George Romney. "Give me a can of Polyjuice Potion and I can stage one for you."

"Obviously, Tiera is an evil force in the British wizarding world... I think it is a puppet launched by Voldemort. It is not even a puppet, it is just a symbol, an image." George Romney

Said, "It's just a tool used by Voldemort to further rule and unite the British wizarding world."

"Oh..." Tommy Romney suddenly realized, "Does this mean there is no resurrection at all?"

"Of course!" George Romney said with a smile, "He was killed by Voldemort. Who can say for sure whether he was dead or not at that time? Maybe he was not dead at all, and what was thrown over was just a body that drank Polyjuice.

I can’t say for sure whether it’s the body of the agent. There is no resurrection magic in this world, it’s all performed by humans.”

"But sir, I still don't understand, how did they move all the gold coins from Gringotts?" Tommy Romney asked, "It is said that Gringotts' main vault is located underground somewhere only the goblins know.

In this world, even if the goblins want to enter it, they need to apply a week in advance. How could Tiera take away all the gold coins in a single search operation?"

"Who knows." Seeing that his son was not ready to get the ice cream cup, George Romney could only wave his hand.

Two slender goblets flew out of the glass cabinet near the door of the chairman's office and landed firmly on George's desk.

"But this is definitely a bad move." George poured himself a glass, and then poured a glass for his son. "I'm not saying to rob all the gold coins from Gringotts. On the contrary, if he just robs the Gringotts

This move was actually very clever, but what he shouldn't have done was publicize it in a big way. He should have secretly and secretly removed all the gold coins in Gringotts instead of letting this matter be reported.

"

"I don't understand sir." Tommy asked blankly.

"Inflation." George spit out a simple word, "Pure gold coins, or pure currency without the support of corresponding materials and commodities, will not be of any benefit to the entire social system. Excessive currency issuance will lead to inflation.

expansion, thereby triggering a series of social unrest.”

"In other words...if such a large amount of gold galleons flows into any country or society, it will cause an irreparable and devastating blow to the local economy. It can easily destroy a country without spending a single soldier.

A deadly weapon." George sighed, "This is also the most critical reason why we want to attack the British Magical Federation."

"Of course, this is why all the forces in the wizarding world still allowed Gringotts to control the economic lifeline of the wizarding world after the goblin rebellion." George said, "Because except for the greedy nature of goblins, they will never

Except for the race that spares any gold coin, it is a worrying matter for anyone to put such a large amount of gold Galleons in their hands."

"It's better to let the goblins control it. No matter how much gold Galleons we have, it's useless to us anyway." George Romney then smiled helplessly, "But now it's a pity and very lucky that this gold galleons are useless to us."

Out of control, in the hands of that stupid Dark Lord."

"So we can't wait for him to come over with this gold galleons to destroy our economy and disrupt our society before launching a war. By then it will be too late." George said decisively, "

If he doesn't hand over the gold galleons, it means war."

"This is a big crisis in the wizarding world!" Tommy said in shock, "Then why did you open a champagne to celebrate, sir?"

"Although not all of that batch of gold galleons can be circulated to the market, it does not mean that some of it cannot flow into our pockets first." George Romney shook the champagne glass in his hand, then drank it all, and said with a smile.

, "Mr. Juan, the director of Gringotts America, must have arrived in the building, right?"

"Yes, sir," Tommy said.

"Go ahead and call him in. It's time to talk about compensation." George Romney said with a smile.

…

Similar things happen in the offices of presidents and ministers of various magic ministries around the world.

And almost at the same time, when the people in power at the top of the magic world pyramid in various countries were exchanging benefits with the safety of the soldiers at the bottom to fill their own wallets, an old and thin figure came to Hogg through the transformation.

In Maude Village, you reach the gate of Hogwarts through the stone stairs.

This figure didn't know how to attract the attention of the people inside Hogwarts Castle, so he had to pull out his wand and prepare to shoot an explosive spell at the door.

But not before the magic power condensed at the tip of her wand.

The door to Hogwarts opened automatically.

"Please come in, Mrs. Rosier." Tiera's voice came from the empty campus.
