The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

"The goblin who is so greedy for money that he even risked his life actually wrote me a letter of recommendation for free today," Hermione said to DeWitt after walking out of Gringotts, shaking the letter in her hand, "I can only think of

One explanation is that the goblin has a way to earn more money from me." Lan

"Let's go," DeWitt said expressionlessly, "Look at where that place is. To be honest, I'm already feeling angry."

The destination of the next stop is the goblin stronghold. To go to this place, you cannot use Phantom Movement, use floo powder, or take any of the passages in Diagon Alley. You must know the address, and then use the letter written by the goblin as a secret.

Key - "The greenskin's trick," DeWitt commented, "is subtle, but not strong enough."

The base is underground.

The goblins are building their own territory at the bottom of a mountain forest. They are not like human wizards building high-rise castles on the ground, but like building Gringotts vaults, they dig holes underground. The entrance to the hole is covered by magic. DeWitt just commented.

It is precisely for this magic, and this evaluation is probably the reason why fairies cannot dominate the magic world.

"Special, but not powerful enough." DeWitt said the last thing, and followed Hermione into the underground cave. They bent forward and walked forward, perhaps tens of meters deep into the ground. The entire underground space was completely

Present.

The thick land and underground water layer should have completely isolated light and sound from this space, but now, not only are there free blue flames acting as a light source, but there are also bursts of sounds of forging iron and the sound of cold water evaporating when heated.

The sound echoed in the hollow, colliding with the thick wall of the smooth dome and shattering into echoes. The place where fairies live is only a few short houses with pointed roofs and sloping eaves directly under the dome, and more buildings are forged houses. A man carrying a hammer

The goblin came over. This goblin was extraordinarily large, especially wide, and extremely fat. It looked at Hermione and DeWitt gloomily, and asked: "Are you here to visit the 'respectable Mr. King'?

”

Hermione checked the recipient of the recommendation letter again - it was Jin, she nodded and said yes. LAN

"Please," the goblin tapped its sharp nails on the wooden handle of the hammer, and its lowered arms almost touched the ground. "Follow me," it said.

After taking Hermione and DeWitt to the largest house in the center, the goblin left without saying a word. Hermione and DeWitt stood at the door, and when they were about to knock on the door, a voice came from the house: "Come in."
The only door in this house is low, and the ceiling is high enough for a person to stand upright. Apart from all the necessary furniture, there is an aging old goblin inside with uneven white hair.

"Mr. King?" Hermione asked cautiously.

The old goblin shook his head and said: "Bring me the letter of recommendation."

Hermione let go and let the letter of recommendation fly to the table in front of Kim.

Jin unfolded the letter and read it carefully several times. It laughed a few times in a hoarse voice and said: "Three out of ten, you can open an account at Gringotts." Lan

Hermione was no longer angry now, she asked: "What do you mean - you will act as a guarantor for me to open an account, and then charge three-tenths of the deposit?"

"No," Jin said, "it's three-tenths of each deposit."

After a moment of silence, Hermione really couldn't think of how to face it, and she didn't know what thoughts she should have. She had actually made a decision when she was in Gringotts. At this time, she just needed to take action.

But if she wanted to take a more drastic approach, she always felt that the atmosphere and timing were wrong, so she said dryly: "Is this legal?"

The old goblin laughed again, and said inscrutably: "You are willing to do what I want, of course it is legal."

"It's too expensive," Hermione said, "I don't plan to open an account at Gringotts anymore."

"It's up to you! People like you are not qualified to open an account in Gringotts!" Gold scolded arrogantly, "Mudbloods also want to open an account in Gringotts? You are not an ancient pure

The blood family... the pure-blood family lives forever... What about you? I've seen many Muggle wizards like you. It's a flash in the pan. It's really a dream to have an account in Gringotts. We goblins don't do loss-making business...

…”

DeWitt had already taken the first step forward, but Hermione stopped him, raised her hand and pressed his chest, comforting him: "No, there is no need to do this, the magic world is like this now...

Calm down, let's just leave..." Lan

"Let's go?" Jin's laughter became wild, "You must let me be your guarantor! Come on! Come on! Stop them!"

Several goblins carrying hammers and tongs jumped out. They were yelling and trying to intimidate Hermione and DeWitt, but their height only made people laugh.

"What are they doing?" Hermione asked in confusion without fear, "Do these... things think that holding a weapon in their hands can scare us? Why don't they use magic?"

"No," DeWitt replied, "It's not that no one uses magic, it's just that I didn't give it a chance to use magic. Look at this old immortal."

Old Goblin Gold had already floated up, its joints were clamped by DeWitt's thoughts, and its tongue and fingers could not move. It slowly flew between the goblins who formed the circle and DeWitt and Hermione. The other goblins immediately froze.

They were so stunned that they didn’t even dare to take a breath.

"I'm talking about these," Hermione pointed at these goblins rudely, "Why do they dare to rush out with iron tools? And now they can't move? You know, basically goblins are

It's magic."

"Also," Hermione added, "the process of goblins smelting metal is also extremely confidential, and what about us? This time we not only saw their stronghold, but also heard the sound of their forging, and now we are rushing in with tools.

Are you going to have a hand-to-hand fight before us?" Lan

DeWitt didn't know the answers to these questions either. He waved, controlled a thick book to fly over, slapped the old elf Jin a few times in the air, and said to the disgraced Jin, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and dizzy, "You heard it, right?"

?Answer quickly."

Jin screamed miserably, and shouted: "I am a goblin! I am also protected by the laws of the Ministry of Magic! You can't do this to me! You..."

DeWitt manipulated the notebook and gave it a few more strokes. He smiled and said: "Oh, this is a matter of your own free will. The law will not care about it. Otherwise, how can you explain why you don't want to escape or resist if you don't want to be beaten?"

What?"

"Because you used magic to control me!" Jin yelled hoarsely, and the noise he made at this time did not look like an immortal.

"But I didn't touch you...that's enough!" DeWitt noticed that Jin was changing the subject, and he became irritated again, "Last chance, tell me clearly what is going on!"

So an old-fashioned story of using power for personal gain came out from the mouth of the bully Jin - the goblins of Gringotts watch what others do, and they will use their positions to screen out vulnerable groups who are easy to deceive - that is, Muggles.

Wizards - then they will take advantage of Muggle-born wizards' ignorance of rules and lack of connections to trick them into coming here. With the help of the concealment of this site and the disguised details, the wizards who come here will really think that this is a goblin.

In the territory of a big shot, once the golden agreement is agreed to, the magical contract will urge the Muggle-born wizard to send the golden galleons into the goblin's pocket...

"Don't be like this, DeWitt," Hermione grabbed DeWitt, who was about to attack, and persuaded her earnestly, "Don't be like this, you can't just go to Gringotts. The worst we can do is not save money first, please calm down...

"Lan
