The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

When the dementor took out the golden cup, Tom's heart beat rapidly.

He took a long sword from the treasury and picked up the gold cup with the tip of the sword. He just picked up the golden cup and walked towards Scrimgeour.

At this time, Scrimgeour was squatting at the door of the vault collecting problematic gold Galleons.

"Bring the detector," Tom said to the other two Aurors.

Although it was not clear why the Dementor King did this, the Aurors obediently took the detector.

As a result, the detector began to chirp sharply as soon as it reached the edge of the golden cup.

Auror:!

Scrimgeour immediately dropped the Galleons on the ground and came closer. Because according to the sound of the detector, what Tom took over was most likely an extremely evil black magic item.

The three Aurors looked around the golden cup for a long time, and gradually came to a conclusion that they did not dare to draw.

"This, could this be..." Scrimgeour hesitated.

"Have you seen enough? Have you never seen a Horcrux before?"

Scrimgeour: "Never seen it."

Tom:…

It’s not to blame for Scrimgeour’s lack of knowledge. Horcruxes are very rare in the magical world. Generally, wizards may not be able to meet one from birth to reincarnation. That is, Voldemort has expanded the production capacity of Horcruxes, otherwise Tom would not be able to see it.

"This is Voldemort's Horcrux." Tom said calmly.

Scrimgeour and the other two Aurors shuddered at the name. Then they realized what Tom was talking about.

Scrimgeour took two steps back suddenly and drew out his wand at the same time. He was extremely nervous: "Is this that person's Horcrux?! Do you have any evidence?"

Looking at him, he looked like he was avoiding the source of the plague. Even if it was just a Horcrux, it could still make Scrimgeour feel throbbing from the depths of his soul.

"Of course, come closer!" Tom motioned Scrimgeour to come closer. Scrimgeour looked reluctant, but came over anyway.

"You see that badger head on the handle of the cup? It's the symbol of Helga Hufflepuff."

Scrimgeour frowned: "This cannot be used as evidence at all."

"Believe it or not, I can tell you that Voldemort is collecting the relics of the four founders to make Horcruxes. He has almost collected them all."

Scrimgeour was so shocked by the news that he was almost speechless. Tom's words prove two things, one is that the mysterious man made a Horcrux, and the other is that he has more than one Horcrux!

"Check whether there is any protective charm attached to the cup." Tom motioned to an Auror standing nearby to help him check the status of the cup.

After the Auror's inspection, there was no triggering jinx or curse attached to the cup.

"Very good." Tom wrapped the cup in a piece of dragon skin from the vault and put it in his pocket.

"Wait!" Scrimgeour wanted to stop Tom. He subconsciously felt that the Ministry of Magic should handle this relic of the Dark Lord. But Tom had no intention of handing back the golden cup - so funny, wasn't it just for this cup that he went through so much trouble? How could it be handed back?

"Do you want to keep it? Do you still want to build a Voldemort museum?" Tom just wanted to sneer at the Ministry of Magic.

Listening to Tom mention the mysterious man's name again and again, Scrimgeour felt uncomfortable all over.

"I want Dumbledore to destroy this cup." Tom held out an object that Scrimgeour could not refuse.

"Then...Okay, but please allow me to report it to the ministry." Scrimgeour weighed the pros and cons for a while and found that handing this hot potato to Dumbledore was the best choice.

Let Dumbledore have a headache about the mysterious man. Even if he is brought back to the ministry, he will probably be blamed for being meddlesome.

The Horcrux matter has come to an end for the time being. Scrimgeour looked at the group of goblins standing there at a loss, and said angrily: "No need to count! Go up!"

He said there was no need to count, not because he wanted to let the goblins go, but because their problem was too big to be solved with a single count.

As if their backbones had been ripped out, the goblins lined up to get on the cart dejectedly. As for the little golden cup that was taken away by Tom, they were in no mood to argue with him.

After returning to the ground, Scrimgeour notified the Ministry of Magic as quickly as possible about what happened underground. Ten minutes later, Minister Bones rushed in, followed by a long list of Ministry of Magic officials who had heard about the incident.

In fact, all the wizards who heard that Gringotts had embezzled depositors' funds came here. The credibility Gringotts had spent hundreds of years building up was melting away at the speed of light.

Wizards who have lost confidence in Gringotts are coming here. They will come to Gringotts to check whether the balance in their vault matches the balance on their books. Then, some of them will withdraw their deposits. This part will affect more people, allowing more people to withdraw their money until the panic goes away or the banks are overwhelmed.

What banks fear most: a run, is happening.

Bogrod watched everything happening in front of him blankly, and he vaguely felt that something collapsed.

But worse was to come.

When Bones showed up, the goblins on the board couldn't sit still. They knew very well that Gringotts had reached a critical point of life and death, and they had to deal with this crisis properly at all costs.

But when they ran out of breath into the hall, they were surrounded by dementors before they could speak.

Tom snapped his fingers, and the dementors present took action, taking control of all the Gringotts executives present.

"There are dark wizards' Horcruxes hidden in the Gringotts vault, and there are serious suspicions of colluding with dark wizards, so I hope the senior executives of Gringotts will come with us." What Tom said made the directors of Gringotts Feeling cold all over the body.

A trip with the dementors? Is there still a chance to come back?

"Your crime is not just colluding with dark wizards," Bones said with a straight face. "The Ministry of Magic suspects that you have misappropriated depositors' funds, and you need to be investigated."

Hearing this, the fairies turned pale.

They didn't collude with the dark wizards, but they did embezzle the wizards' gold.

Bones's eyes narrowed slightly, and the goblins were acting like they were just asking for it. She was already thinking about how to make a fuss about this matter and maximize her benefits.

The goblins know a lot of things, such as the private accounts of some senior officials of the Ministry of Magic...

If she could pry out these things, she would make a lot of money.

In this way, all the senior officials of Gringotts were captured by Tom and sent to the Ministry of Magic. There they will be judged by the wizards.

Without these leaders, the Gringotts goblins turned into a ball of loose sand and were allowed to be kneaded by the wizards.
