Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 32 The Confrontation in Gringotts (Happy Birthday to Hall Master Long Tang Jiuxiao!)

Moriarty took Jericho and Saldaya to Gringotts.

This is one of the few large buildings in Diagon Alley, with a white exterior but a deep luxury inside.

As Moriarty approached Gringotts, the goblin guarding outside came up to him with a sweet smile on his face.

Everyone knows that the Slytherin family is extremely wealthy. For Gringotts, even if Moriarty saves one ten thousandth of a Galleung, it is still a huge sum of money.

But Moriarty never walked into Gringotts on his own initiative.

Today's arrival makes more fairies happily inform higher-level fairies.

Moriarty and the other three walked into the Gringotts hall and were greeted by a large group of goblins.

The leader of the goblin is very old and has almost no hair, and the few remaining ones are silver-white.

Goblins always have thin hair, and wizards always use this to laugh at goblins. At this time, Soldaya pursed her lips and smiled.

The old goblin wore a suit. He walked up to Moriarty, bowed deeply, and gave Moriarty a very ancient and complicated ceremony.

Although there are not many wizards who know this etiquette now, the old goblin believes that Moriarty still remembers it.

"Dear Mr. Slytherin, the goblin Perberia sends you the highest regards and wishes you well - Gringotts England will do its best to serve you."

The old goblin's posture was very low, but it did not attract Moriarty's attention. Only when he heard the old goblin's name, Moriarty's eyes moved slightly.

Four-letter fairy.

Pepperea.

He is the highest-ranking elf in Gringotts.

Moriarty glanced at the group of goblins.

The old goblin was followed by a group of goblins. Almost all the goblins in Gringotts were here. They were all bowing at this moment. Among them was Griphook, the goblin who took Harry Potter to Bella's vault. He stood in the last row.

.

All the goblins in Gringotts were dispatched. This was not an ordinary thing. The wizards in Gringotts all looked towards the hall in surprise.

When they saw that the person coming was the head of the Slytherin family, they were not surprised, and they were filled with deep curiosity.

The Slytherin family has never dealt with Gringotts.

Because when the Slytherin family was founded, Gringotts had not yet been established!

But those Muggles didn't know this. It was their first time coming to Gringotts, and they were full of awe of everything here.

Gringotts' attitude towards Muggles is really not very friendly. Compared with the respectful attitude at this time, the Muggles are even more strange.

On this special day today, many Muggles came to Gringotts, including the Granger family from London.

Hermione stretched her neck and looked back and forth in Moriarty's direction, her mouth slightly open, dangling around like a little squirrel looking for fruit.

Finally she found Moriarty and immediately recognized him as the wizard who had rescued her from the witch and brought her out.

Hermione told her parents about this. Mr. Granger was a well-bred gentleman and he felt that he needed to thank Moriarty.

So he took the Granger family towards Moriarty.

Hermione walked very fast. She came over from behind Moriarty and said happily: "Hey, kind sir, we meet again so soon."

As she spoke, she waved her hand in front of Moriarty, trying to remind Moriarty of her.

Jericho and Saldaya looked at each other, how did this girl squeeze past us?

"So it's Hermione Granger," Moriarty said calmly, "Come to Gringotts to exchange for galleons?"

"Yes, the currency exchange system here is so complicated that it confused me - is 1 gold Galleons exchanged for 15 Silver Sickles or 17 Silver Sickles? How many Silver Sickles can be exchanged for?

A Copper Nat?”

"Oh my God! Fortunately, my dad is quick-thinking. He said that as long as you remember that the human tongue is composed of 17 muscles, you can remember the conversion method of Galleons and Sickles!"

Hermione started talking eloquently again, with excitement and a smile on her face.

Moriarty said to her: "Interesting way to remember, maybe your father was a doctor?"

Hermione's eyes widened in surprise and she approached Moriarty: "You guessed it right!"

At this time, Granger's parents came over and grabbed Hermione to tell her not to be too excited.

They then thanked Moriarty, who shook his head and said that Hogwarts would not allow any student to be threatened.

Marcus happened to take Harry out of the vault entrance. They had just come out of the Potter family's vault.

Marcus saw Moriarty at a glance, and he didn't care about Gringotts' rules against yelling.

"Hey, sir!"

His loud voice made everyone look at him.

Marcus waved to Moriarty and strode over. Harry Potter had no choice but to jog to follow.

Moriarty recognized Marcus's voice. He looked over and nodded to Marcus.

Then he saw Harry behind him and said, "Have you finished the matter with Mr. Potter?"

"It's done, sir," Marcus nodded, "I'm going to Knockturn Alley to buy some food for my fortune teller."

So he lowered his head and looked at Harry: "You can buy your own school supplies later - there is a list in the letter the school sent you. Buy according to that, can you do it?"

In fact, Harry didn't know if he could do it alone, but in front of Marcus and Moriarty, he didn't want to be looked down upon.

Harry tried to be more mature and nodded, "No problem, Mr. Marcus."

Moriarty asked Marcus with interest: "Augury? From Ireland? Is it the augury whose cry has always been regarded as death?"

"That's right," Marcus said happily when talking about magical animals. "Actually, the screams are just a little bit shriller and not that scary - I want to raise them as soon as possible."

"Augury?" Hermione asked curiously: "Is it a pet? I saw in the letter sent to me by Hogwarts that one pet is allowed - cat, toad, mouse? In comparison, I prefer cats, but

I went shopping but didn't find the pet cat I liked, so I decided not to bring a pet this year. Will it affect my studies?"

Marcus looked blankly at Hermione, then at Moriarty, as if he wanted to ask who this was?

Moriarty found it funny. Marcus was not good at talking, so he talked more in front of him.

I met Hermione today and was stunned by Hermione's rapid-fire words.

Seeing that Marcus couldn't give any advice, Hermione had no choice but to turn her attention to Moriarty.

Moriarty smiled and said: "Pets are nothing and will not affect your studies and grades."

"Great!" Hermione said firmly: "When I received the letter, I decided that no matter which school I go to, I will be the first!"

"Ahem..."

The old goblin Perpelia coughed suddenly, and people realized that the goblins had been bending over and lowering their heads.

Even if the elf is short in stature, she will suffer from back pain if she maintains this movement for a long time.

The old goblin was very angry. They had been saluting for so long and Moriarty didn't say a word. Instead, he started chatting with a Muggle girl and Marcus.

Marcus knows that the Flint family deposits a large sum of gold galleons in Gringotts every year.

The big benefactor cannot be offended, but Muggle girls can bring too little to Gringotts.

The old goblin decisively chose to interrupt Hermione's words to express his presence.

"Little wizard, don't yell in Gringotts. Bad things always happen inadvertently."

The old goblin smiled at Hermione, but combined with what he said, this smile looked more like a threat.

Moriarty, Jericho, Solda Yafen, the Grangers and some adults all heard it.

Moriarty snorted, knowing that this was the old goblin expressing his dissatisfaction with him by warning Hermione.

Soldaya observed the words and stood up at the right time and said to the old goblin: "Pepelia, why didn't I know that Gringotts has a rule about not yelling? Huh?"

"It seems that every time a large sum of Galleons is deposited into Gringotts, you goblins are the first to yell, right?"

Soldaya took out a gold galleon and rolled it back and forth on his left hand, holding the wand in his right hand.

He stared at the old goblin, as if if you keep talking nonsense, I will recite a spell for you.

The old goblin looked at Soldaya for a while, bowed with a smile, and said: "It turns out you are the young master of the Selwyn family. You look so much like your ancestor Aldway Selwyn."

Soldaya's expression changed. The old goblin got his ancestor's name right! That was his grandfather's grandfather!

How long has this goblin lived?

Moriarty answered his doubts, and he finally said his first words to the goblin.

"Fairy Perpelia, right?"

The old goblin bowed: "Yes..."

But before he finished speaking, Moriarty interrupted him loudly: "Many wizards don't know that among goblins, the length of the name represents the level of status."

The old goblin shuddered and lowered his head as much as possible so that Moriarty could not see his expression.

But there seemed to be a huge wave in my heart: Does the Slytherin family know this secret? Damn Salazar, he knows too much!

Moriarty glanced at the old goblin and continued: "Most of the goblins that wizards come into contact with have two-letter names, such as the employee Griphook."

Moriarty pointed at Griphook, who was standing at the end. Many wizards looked over, and Griphook tried his best to shrink back.

"Another example is the goblin whose name has been left in the history of magic - Lara the Sloppy Goblin, the goblin who ignited the goblin rebellion."

Jericho slapped his forehead: "Oh, I remembered that the names of the goblins that Professor Binns asked us to remember are all two-letter names!"

"That's right, because the 3 or 4-character goblin is a high-level goblin, or aristocrat."

Moriarty affirmed, and at the same time, the old goblin looked at Moriarty with a strange look.

"For example, this Perpelia is standing in front of us." Moriarty turned his head and looked at the old goblin.

"Another example is Hodrod, the cocoon-hand who once tried to kill three wizards.

Also, the founder of Gringotts, a goblin named Gringotts!

And...the maker of the sword of Gryffindor that wizards are familiar with - the Goblin King - Legnarc I!"

"Such fairies usually live a long time, so it's not surprising that they know the names of your ancestors."

Moriarty said the last sentence to Saldaya, and then looked directly at the old goblin with sharp eyes, "What I said is right!"

The old goblin suppressed his anger. With a few words, Moriarty exposed a secret of their goblins!

In the past, wizards thought that goblins had no distinction in status, but now they know the difference in names.

If there is any action in the future, the leader will be easily captured.

But now is not the time for an attack. The old goblin forced out a smile: "Mr. Slytherin's wisdom makes me shocked and happy. The magical world will definitely be prosperous and strong under the leadership of the Slytherin family!"

"You can clearly understand this and save Gringotts from a disaster." Moriarty said softly.

The old goblin's eyes widened in horror, and the two round eyeballs almost popped out.

"I'm going to your office. I have something to ask you."

Moriah finished speaking and walked towards Gringotts first, not giving the old goblin a chance to refute.

The three Marcus men followed the three Moriarty men, knocking down many goblins along the way.

The old goblin walked behind with his head lowered. He didn't know what Moriarty wanted to ask, but there was no way. Moriarty had already issued a warning. If he didn't make it clear, the consequences would be disastrous.

They walked away very quickly, leaving the Grangers and Harry where they were, bewildered.

After watching Moriarty disappear, Mr. Granger said to Hermione: "It seems that gentleman has something to do. Let's go first. I am very interested in the powder that can make people disappear from the fireplace."

, maybe we can buy some?”

"Hmm..." Hermione nodded absently, thinking over and over again about Moriarty's conversation with the goblin.

In fact, she didn't understand many topics, but there was one word that sounded familiar to her.

"Mr. Slytherin? Mr. Slytherin! Hiss..."

Hermione remembered that the witch also said "Mr. Slytherin".

Thinking of Moriarty, Hermione thought in confusion: "Why do they all call him Mr. Slytherin? And I must have seen the name Slytherin somewhere, where?"

Hermione was using her brain to think as she walked, and Harry, who was also at a loss, mustered up the courage to say to Hermione: "Classmate, are you also a freshman at Hogwarts? Do you know where to buy a crucible?"

"..." Hermione didn't answer. She was recalling that the kind-hearted Mr. Granger helped Harry. He said that they had bought it before and he could take Harry with him.

Harry thanked him profusely, took a sum of galleons from the treasury, and decided to buy more books.

After meeting Marcus, Harry felt that they were completely from two different worlds.

Just like just now, Harry couldn't understand what Moriarty and Marcus said at all!

"I also want to be an outstanding wizard like them."

In front of Harry's eyes, he saw Moriarty talking eloquently and Marcus buying magical animals at will, feeling envious and determined at the same time.

He secretly clenched his fists.

The two incoming freshmen walked out of Gringotts, immersed in their own thoughts.

In fact, not long after they left, the four Moriarty came out.

Moriarty only asked the old goblin one question, has William been to Gringotts?

Even though Gringotts had a rule not to reveal the identity of its customers, the old goblin chose to follow his heart when faced with Moriarty.

The old goblin said yes.

The date when William came to Gringotts to withdraw money happened to be the day when old Borgin said that a wizard was buying unicorn blood.

Walking out of Gringotts, Moriarty looked in the direction of Hogwarts.

Voldemort has possessed William.

At this time, William should be applying for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position in the principal's office, right?

After confirming that Voldemort would come, Moriarty immediately took out his long-prepared plan.

He returned home and found the copy of Voldemort's Japan. There was a fragment of Voldemort's soul in it, which was the soul of Tom Marvolo Gaunt!

The next day, Moriarty took his diary and got on the train to Platform Nine and Three Quarters.

Fourth grade begins.
