Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Today is the hottest day in summer. The once verdant grass on Privet Road has been dried and yellowed, and the square houses are baked by the hot sun, like large ovens.

On days like these, it's obviously not a good idea to go out.

The residents of Privet Drive are now hiding in their houses, with their windows wide open, hoping for a cool breeze that isn't there.

However, the owner of one house did not do this. On the contrary, he even locked all the doors and windows in the house.

"I think I'll have to put on a blanket, it's a little too cold."

In this house with the doors and windows locked, Harry reached for the woolen blanket on the sofa, trembling as he spoke.

"Is it cold?" Blake came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, stretched out his hand to feel the temperature lowered by the freezing technique in the house, and said, "Oh, it's a little cold! Wait, I'll adjust the temperature a little more."

With that said, Blake hurriedly took out his wand and waved it, and the temperature in the house finally rose to a normal level.

Harry took the blanket, a happy smile on his face.

This house was specially bought by Blake after being inspired by Mike, in order to be able to accompany Harry and live with him.

Of course, Harry had to go back to his uncle's house to sleep every night because of the blood curse, but he could stay in the house and play with Blake all day during the day.

At first, Uncle Vernon's family couldn't accept Harry's way of life, and even wanted to ground Harry.

But when Blake visited Uncle Vernon once, they accepted.

It's a little strange, because Uncle Vernon was a little too terrified after Blake's visit.

Harry guessed that Black must have used some terrifying means, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing now is that he can finally get rid of that bad home and have a good summer vacation with the people who love him.

Thinking like this, the smile on Harry's face grew even brighter.

"Harry, I just made some gingerbread. Eat some. It was a little cold just now, so don't catch a cold."

Blake came out with a baking tray,

Harry hurriedly thanked him and stood up to take the baking tray.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the window of the room. The two of them heard the sound and saw the owl, who had been carrying a large bag, pecking at the window.

"It must be the newspaper I ordered." Blake took off his anti-scalding gloves, opened the window and let the owl in. "Oh, poor little one, the paper is still delivered on such a hot day. Harry, get it now. Get some water, he looks thirsty."

"Got it, Sirius."

Harry hurried into the kitchen, took some cold water with a dish, and returned to the living room.

However, when he returned to the living room, he found that Blake was staring at the newspaper in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Harry frowned and asked, but Blake didn't say anything and handed the newspaper directly to Harry.

Putting down the plate, Mike picked up the newspaper and read it, only to write:

"Shock! Gringotts suffered a terrorist attack, and the prisoner is suspected of being a Death Eater! 》

It is reported that on the afternoon of August 4, Gringotts, located in the center of Diagon Alley, suffered the most serious terrorist attack since its establishment!

On the afternoon of the same day, 8 terrorists in disguise sneaked into Gringotts, released the dragon guards in the underground vault group, and used the Fire Charm in the underground vault in an attempt to destroy the entire Gringotts.

Fortunately, the Aurors even arrived, preventing the eight terrorists from making further moves.

But it is a pity that the sabotage of these eight terrorists still caused serious consequences. According to preliminary statistics, a total of 30 Aurors and 53 Gringotts staff were killed in this attack, and the rest were 80 Aurors and staff were injured to varying degrees.

In addition, the underground vaults of Gringotts have also been severely damaged, and the economic loss of direct losses is expected to be as high as 10W gold Galleons!

It is not known how the eight terrorists infiltrated Gringotts, but according to the testimony of a goblin, the reason why these terrorists were able to infiltrate successfully should be related to a dark wizard named Igor Karkaroff. .

And this Igor Karkaroff, who was a Death Eater before, is hard not to think of Dumbledore's speech in Hogwarts recently: Voldemort has returned!

However, Mr. Fudge, the Minister of Magic, denied this. He firmly believed that Dumbledore was a piece of nonsense. This time the Gringotts robbery was just a normal robbery, and the main responsibility should be attributed to Gringotts. lack of regulation.

At present, the eight terrorists have not been arrested and brought to justice. The Ministry of Magic urges the public to report to the Auror Office if they encounter the following people. After verification, the Ministry of Magic will give a large amount of rewards to the whistleblowers.

Warning again, the following people are extremely dangerous, please do not touch them in private!

Harry's hands are shaking, the news from the newspaper is so amazing!

"It must have been Voldemort's doing!"

Harry screamed, startling the owl who was drinking from the coffee table.

"Calm down, Harry," said Black, taking off his apron. "Although Voldemort and the Death Eaters are suspected, this is a bit odd."

"Who else could it be but him!"

"Uh, come on, Harry. Take a good look at those wanted portraits, do you think the Death Eaters would dress up like that to grab Gringotts?"

Harry took a closer look, and the expression on his face immediately froze.

I saw that there were eight wanted portraits posted at the end of the report, of which Karkaroff's portrait was the most normal, while the portraits of the other seven people were more bizarre than others.

Especially the one at the end, the one in a super short vest and hot pants, with heavy makeup and dyed hair white.

Judging from his dress, it should be a woman, but the tall part of his body shows the truth of his man.

Harry hurriedly moved his eyes away, which were really hot eyes.

"This, seems to be a character in a comic."

Harry frowned.

"What are comics?"

"emmm, you can understand it as drawn."

"Is it Muggle stuff?"

"That's right."

"Then it's even less likely that Voldemort and the Death Eaters did this." Black frowned. "Those purebloods don't pretend to be Muggles!"

The living room fell silent for a moment, and Blake and Harry both bowed their heads in thought.

After a while, Blake suddenly raised his head and said to Harry:

"Harry, I think I'll have to leave for a while, I have to go to Dumbledore!"

Harry nodded yes, and didn't pester Blake to go together, he knew very well that these things were not something he could mix.

Also, it was so hot outside that he really didn't want to go out.

Black used Apparition to leave, and when he was gone, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.

Harry moved carefully to the door, and through the cat's eye, he saw the person coming outside the door.

It was Dali who was sweating profusely!

...

At the same time, in the secret area of ​​Freemasonry, Mike, Benjamin and the others were enjoying themselves with a newspaper, and on the table in front of them, there were also thick stacks of newspapers from other newspapers.

"Benjamin! They shot you so well!"

The Weasley brothers laughed and pointed to the copy of the wanted portrait of Jemin in the newspaper.

"That's right! I bet the person who painted this is an artist! Look at this stubble painting, tsk tsk, Benjamin, didn't you shave that day?"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter when they heard the words, especially Zhou Hong, who was already lying on the ground laughing.

As the object of ridicule, Benjamin dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

In the past few days, the Weasley brothers have ridiculed him in all aspects, and it is not that he has resisted, but force fighting is not allowed within the Freemasonry, so he can only fight back with words.

However, how could he possibly beat the Weasleys?

So, after many times of autism, he has finally learned to be smart.

Just pretend not to hear, and the Weasleys will soon stop.

Sure enough, seeing Benjamin's unresponsiveness, the Weasley brothers quickly changed the subject and began to discuss other people's portraits.

Mike in the corner looked at the people who were making a fuss, and his mood was quite gloomy.

Regarding their second action, the Ministry of Magic officially gave a very domineering name: Gringotts Heist.

The reports about the Gringotts robbery can be said to have swept the entire country in the past two days, and even caused a panic in Europe.

Nowadays, almost all the newspapers and media in the market are frantically discussing this matter, and the focus of the discussion is also very clear, that is, the return of Voldemort and that Gringotts is no longer safe.

Even the most popular magic radio station in Europe, Wizards Wireless Network (often abbreviated to WWN), has a special talk show with Fudge, the Minister of Magic and Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror's Office. Gringotts Heist' explained.

In the program, Fudge and Scrimgeour, in order to prevent the masses from linking this incident with Voldemort, can be said to have told the complete ins and outs of this incident, including the funny appearance of the robbers. The intelligence of the melon comics was also narrated. It is reasonable to say that such an explanation should dispel the public's concerns about the return of Voldemort. However, Fudge and Scrimgeour are still too young.

In the country, scolding the Ministry of Magic is right.

This move by Fudge and Scrimgeour not only did not dispel the panic of the crowd, on the contrary, due to the delay in catching any robbers, the public's disgust towards the Ministry of Magic rose to an unprecedented height.

There were even some people who gathered together and ran into the halls of the Ministry of Magic to protest Fudge's various policies and force Fudge to step down.

Of course, this kind of protest is of little use, and the hitters and Aurors who heard the news quickly arrested all these people.

But this incident sounded the alarm for Fudge. In order to make his seat more stable and to divert the attention of the crowd, he began to bring other rhythms.

Large Business Antitrust Act.

Fudge's inspiration for promoting this bill came from Gringotts. After some large companies form a monopoly in a certain industry, the power of ordinary consumers cannot be guaranteed, so now a strict bill is designated to avoid The emergence of such a monopoly.

For those companies that have formed a monopoly like Gringotts, the Ministry of Magic will take strict supervision to ensure the interests of consumers.

Once the bill was introduced, it was well received by the general public because they really felt the benefits.

The most classic example is that the minecart track at Gringotts finally disappeared, and now to get money from the underground vault, you only need to take the magic elevator.

The hatred was well transferred. In order to obtain more benefits, the masses gradually began to turn their blood-red eyes to those large enterprises and families.

Mike's Los Santos Magic Group bore the brunt of the impact.

There is no way out. Almost all of the Los Santos Group's industries are emerging industries, and there are basically no competitors within the industry, which perfectly fits the Ministry of Magic's definition of a monopoly.

As a result, the so-called supervision was delegated to the various branches of the Los Santos Group.

And through the attitude of these supervisors, Mike also came to a conclusion.

That is Fudge is deliberately targeting himself.

Because compared with the supervisors in other companies, the supervisors assigned by the Los Santos Group are more difficult to deal with. They seem to be specially sent to trouble Mike. It's no big deal, they have to point fingers.

Thanks to their efforts, the Los Santos Group's financial report this month must be very ugly.

"Hey, business is getting harder and harder."

With a sigh, Mike was about to get up and find Penello to express his recent stress, but at this moment, the house elf Shuke suddenly appeared in front of Mike.

"Master," Shook knelt down on one knee and said, "Mr. Dumbledore and others visited your villa in Godric's Hollow."

"Um?"

Mike was stunned when he heard the words, Dumbledore would come to visit him, which he never imagined.

‘Could it be that the Gringotts robbery has been exposed? ’

Mike thought so, but on the surface, the wind was light, and he said:

"Are they still here?"

"Yes, Master. Without your orders, they are still waiting outside the door."

"Understood, let's go meet them together."

After all, Mike put his hand on Shuke's raised hand.

Next, with a crisp snap of fingers, Mike and Shuke disappeared in the secret territory of Freemasonry. ( )
