Hiding in Hogwarts as a professor

Under the goblin’s regretful gaze, Cynthia tightened her mouth and put the bag of gems away.

“Please go this way.” The goblin withdrew his probing gaze and guided the three Tevers to the counter in front of the golden door.

“Before meeting Mr. Ingus, I need to inform his assistant, Mr. Griphook.”

Griphook was a somewhat bald, middle-aged elf. He did not sit in the center, but stood behind the small counter next to him.

It seemed like that position was beyond his reach.

But Tver noticed that the goblin had been secretly observing them since they entered.

“Mr. Griphook, these guests want to meet with Mr. Ingus…” The guide elf whispered in his ear and pointed at Cynthia.

But the more Griphook listened, the more he frowned.

“Guest, if you want to sell gems, I can also make the decision.”

He said respectfully, but Tver still heard a hint of disdain in his tone.

Tver measured his expression in silence.

Goblins are naturally hostile to wizards, which is also the biggest problem on their trip.

“What if there’s more?”

“No matter how much, I can still make the decision.” Griphook raised his head without being humble or arrogant.

“So much that it takes out all the galleons in Gringotts?”

Tver leaned down and said in his ear: “Or, what if I dumped materials worth millions of galleons into the magic world?”

Griphook’s expression suddenly changed.

“The Ministry of Magic will not allow you to do this, and you will lose hundreds of thousands of galleons!”

“Before the Ministry of Magic is aware of it, the economic order of the wizarding world has long been destroyed. By then, you goblins will be the culprits of poor supervision. Wizards will never mind taking over Gringotts.”

Griphook’s expression changed several times, and he had realized the danger of this situation.

“I don’t think you have the strength to execute…”

At Tver’s signal, Cynthia not only threw out the bag just now, but also took out bags one after another that were also filled with gems and threw them on the counter.

There are even so many that this small counter can no longer fit them!

“Wow–”

A bag inevitably fell to the ground, and the gems inside immediately spread all over Tver’s feet.

The movement of the goblin’s hand in the hall suddenly stagnated, his eyes burst into greedy light, and he felt his breathing became heavier.

The gems looked particularly dazzling under the candlelight in the hall.

Fortunately, there are not many guests in Gringotts now, otherwise, those wizards would definitely not mind coming to pick up two gems.

With the goblin’s sensitivity to gems, Griphook knew that these were cut and excellent gems in perfect condition even without looking carefully!

“Is that okay now?”

“Of course.” A goblin in a black suit who was not much older than Griphook walked out from behind Griphook.

When the other fairies saw him appearing, they put away their shock and returned to the work at hand, but their attention was quietly focused here.

“Put away the gems for the guests, Griphook,” Ingus stretched out his hand towards Tver, “Ingus, the director of Gringotts.”

“Tver Foley.” Tver bent slightly and held Ingus’s hand, just level with him standing on the counter.

“It turns out that he is the heir from the Welfare family. Your father came here to withdraw money some time ago.” Ingus showed a kind smile.

At least, Tver didn’t notice anything wrong with his smile.

“This is not the place for conversation. If Mr. Foley doesn’t mind, can some of you come to my office for a cup of tea?”

“certainly.”

Tver has nothing to lose.

This time, Griphook did not dare to stop them. Together with the two guide fairies, he hurriedly picked up the gems scattered on the ground, and then followed them with a few bags each.

But Ingus’s office was a bit beyond Tver’s expectations.

After passing through the golden door, they saw a blazing stove, lighting up the entire quaint room.

“This is the tradition of fairies. Forging is as essential a part of our lives as eating.”

Ingus explained, then sat on the sofa where the guests were, and poured them steaming tea with his own hands.

“Actually, we rarely drink tea, but when we have more human guests, we have to learn this.”

“This is a good habit, keep it up.” Tver sat down with a smile.

Ingus only paused in the movement of his hand, but Griphook was angered.

“Then why can’t you wizards learn some respect?

What about the goblin’s habits? Don’t think that just because you have money, you can do whatever you want. Gringotts will never succumb to any evil forces! ”

“That’s enough, Griphook, we can’t be as rude as wizards.”

Ingus said this, but he kept his eyes on Tver and did not let Griphook and the others go out.

“I wonder why the guests come to Gringotts? If they are just selling gems, there is no need to threaten my assistant, right?”

Tver picked up the tea cup and took a sip before sitting upright and looking at the goblins.

“It’s very simple. I want all the Muggle currency in Gringotts. I can even accept Muggle currencies from Gringotts in other countries.”

“I assume you are also troubled by the Muggle currency piling up in the vaults?”

Gringotts has always had the business of exchanging Muggle currency for magical world currency, but it usually limits the number and amount of exchanges.

It’s because it’s difficult for Gringotts to exchange these Muggle currencies back!

Even though there are not many wizards in the magic world, and even if the share of each exchange is very small, over the past few hundred years, more and more Muggle currencies have been accumulated in Gringotts, and now it is a top priority problem that the goblins need to solve urgently!

Therefore, even the city of Ingus was inevitably shocked by Tver’s purpose.

“What do you want Muggle currency for?”

“Do the same thing as you, use the currency to purchase supplies, then sell them in the magic world and recycle them into galleons.”

“This cycle continues, and the difference in price is our profit.” Tver explained.

“Then why should we leave it to you? Can’t we make the profit ourselves?” Griphook couldn’t help but ask.

“Do you have a spokesperson in the Muggle world? Look at the bags in your hands. If you really have the strength, why do you have to worry about more and more Muggle currency?”

Tver pointed to the bags of gems, leaving Griphook speechless.

“But this is illegal, and the Ministry of Magic will not allow you to do this.” Ingus took a deep breath and said calmly.

“As long as the Ministry of Magic doesn’t find out, it’ll be fine?” Tver tapped the gems again. “Otherwise, how do you think we got so many gems?”

Ingus could hardly maintain his composure, his hands clenched into fists, and there was uncontrollable temptation in his eyes.

If what Twil said is true, then not only can they handle all Muggle currency perfectly, but they can also convert it into Galleons in a more favorable way!

“Gringotts doesn’t know everything you are going to do. We are just converting gems into coins at the request of our customers.” Ingus gasped and chose a safe statement.

Tver did not care about his self-deception.

Once these greedy goblins have tasted the sweetness, even if Tver says to stop, they will not agree!

When the time comes, Gringotts will be his natural ally!
