Chapter 1482 Bertha's Death
The goblins in Gringotts were very depressed. Since Xiao Ming was calm when he stole, they still didn't know that the vault had been robbed.
But the dragon guarding the vault was missing. As long as they were not blind, they would definitely know. And the dragon outside the Lestrange family vault was not the only one that was stolen.
In the past six months, the magical creatures guarding the vault have frequently disappeared. In total, 3 dragons, 5 eight-eyed giant spiders, 12 trolls, and a sphinx have been lost.
The goblins suspected that there might be some unknown but very scary underground creatures that roamed near the underground vault and swallowed those monsters whole. This can explain why there was not even a trace of blood at the scene.
Because of this incident, the entire Gringotts Bank was on high alert and suspicious.
They were not only worried about the guards, but also worried that once the monster's taste changed, it might even eat goblins and humans, which would be a big trouble.
The goblin executives were already discussing the issue of moving very seriously. If we can't afford to offend, can't we hide? This monster won't chase Gringotts headquarters, right?
Xiao Ming doesn't know how much trouble he has caused to the goblins. He just doesn't like to see those creatures being tortured.
The Sphinx is a magical animal with a human head and a lion body that is native to Egypt. For more than a thousand years, it has been used by wizards to guard their precious items and secret places.
This is a very smart animal that understands human language and likes riddles and puzzles. It usually becomes dangerous only when the things it guards are threatened.
This species is classified as a beast by the Ministry of Magic. But in fact, most humans are not as smart as Sphinx. They should be positioned as intelligent non-humans.
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, it is illegal to keep Sphinxes. Legend has it that in the 18th century, a wizard named Crispin Cronk kept several Sphinxes. After repeated warnings to no avail, the Ministry of Magic finally sent him to Azkaban.
Because Sphinxes are very smart, they usually reach an agreement with the goblins before they serve as the guards of the vault. It is fundamentally different from other tamed animals.
Moreover, they often use riddles to embarrass the owner of the vault. As a result, except for some weird ones, most magicians prefer to use other animals with lower IQ.
Xiao Ming took away those dragons and spiders because he felt too pitiful for them. After helping them recover from their injuries, they were sent to their respective habitats far away from humans.
Only the Sphinx took the initiative to follow. Although he couldn't see the invisible Xiao Ming, he felt that the vault was stolen and took the initiative to speak to the air to test.
Xiao Ming thought this creature was interesting, so he brought it out. But he was soon annoyed by his endless riddles. Throw it back to Egypt.
Not long after being relaxed, in the late night of June 24, 1995, Xiao Ming received a letter from Dumbledore sent by Phoenix. There was only one sentence on it, Voldemort is resurrected, come back quickly.
That night, it was not only Old Deng who told the right guard of the leader, and Old Deng told Xiao Ming not only. Countless messages were transmitted in the night sky.
Almost all professors and magicians who had a good relationship with Xiao Ming, including his friends in school, sent him letters.
Even Xiao Ming, an outsider, was like this, and the reaction of other magicians could be imagined. I don’t know how many owls would be exhausted to death that night.
Xiao Ming himself was also very strange. As far as he knew, Voldemort’s situation was very bad. He had no body and his soul was very weak. How could he be resurrected just like that?
The real situation was like this. A year ago, Xiao Ming punished the Death Eaters Amycus Carrow and Alecto Carrow with the Sword of Reward and Punishment in Knockturn Alley.
The two thought it was a punishment from Voldemort, so they acted quickly. Under the secret guidance of space, they found their former boss in the forest of Albania.
So they replaced Peter Pettigrew in the original book. On the way, they also met Bertha Jorkins, a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, and brought her to Voldemort.
This Bertha Jorkins is a very key figure. It's not that this woman is very strong in combat, but mainly because she played a big role in the development of the plot.
She was born in 1958 and studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1969 to 1976, two years higher than Harry's father James and others.
Bertha is a gossipy and unsocial person, in short, a gossipy woman. This kind of personality is very unpopular.
After graduating from Hogwarts, she worked in the Ministry of Magic. As a result, she was driven from one department to another, and finally stayed in the Department of Magical Sports and Sports.
The summer of 1994 was the turning point and the end point of the fate of this poor man.
Because of work, Bertha once went to the home of Barty Crouch Sr., the then Minister of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic. Discovered an unknown secret.
Barty Crouch Jr., the son of Barty Sr., is a Death Eater. He should have been imprisoned in Azkaban Prison.
Later, at the request of his wife, Barty Sr. was sent to Azkaban, and he used Polyjuice Potion to make his seriously ill wife exchange identities with Barty Jr. to die in his place.
After rescuing his son from Azkaban, he used the Imperius Curse to control his behavior, used the Invisibility Cloak to cover his tracks for many years, and ordered the house elf Winky to monitor and guard him every step of the way. Bertha accidentally overheard the conversation between Winky and Barty Jr.
If it were someone else, they would have pretended not to hear it. But Bertha was too straightforward and questioned old Barty directly. As a result, she was cast with a strong forgetfulness spell and forgot about it.
When she was brought to Voldemort by the Carrows, the Dark Lord used a more powerful magic to break the forgetfulness spell, and then learned about the plan to hold the Triwizard Tournament and discovered that his loyal servant Barty Jr. was still alive.
Voldemort's magic power was too strong. After he squeezed out this news, Bertha's spirit was completely destroyed and she was killed immediately.
The Triwizard Tournament was founded about 700 years ago. It is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe.
The three schools are Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang School of Magic. Each school selects a warrior and then competes in three magic projects.
The event is held every five years and is hosted by the three schools in turn. Due to the large number of deaths in the competition, it has been interrupted for hundreds of years.
In 1994, the Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports and Magic of the Ministry of Magic thought that the time was ripe for another attempt, so they reopened the event.
Not only did they offer a prize of 1,000 Galleons, but they also set an age limit, and only students over 17 years old were allowed to register.
In other words, except for repeaters, only the top two classes of students were eligible to participate. Such students could theoretically work in the Ministry of Magic.
So the Ministry of Magic thought it would be safer. Little did they know that this event had been targeted by Voldemort. For him, this was a rare opportunity!
