Chapter 17: Gringotts' sky-high compensation

Scrimgeour arrived, and all the Aurors stood by at his command.

"Rufus, did you catch that damn Death Eater?" Fudge asked.

"No, he's fast, he's flying, we can't catch him at all." Scrimgeour shook his head ruefully.

"Is it so bad?" Fudge frowned and spun around a few times in agitation.

He caught another glimpse of Umbridge, who had passed out against the wall, and his anger came back again.

But Scotterin hurriedly pulled Fudge around the corner and told him that William had repelled the Death Eaters.

After hearing this, Fudge was extremely shocked.

"What then?" Fudge was a little embarrassed.

Attacking the Aurors, if it were an ordinary person, would definitely be imprisoned in Azkaban.

But the other party was the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, and he had just resisted the Death Eaters...... If this kind of wizard is caught, he will definitely be attacked by public opinion.

And William is also Dumbledore's beloved apprentice, and the two have a close relationship!

Fudge soon let the matter go, though, and Skjelin told him that there was a circle of reporters outside Gringotts.

"These hateful creatures, they should all be arrested in Azkaban!"

Fudge was no longer in the mood to deal with Umbridge, his mind was full of thoughts on how to deal with the reporters and the imminent wave of public opinion.

Today is the Merlin Medal ceremony, and in the evening, the youngest medalist is attacked, Gringotts is almost stolen, and the Dark Mark appears...... What a scandal this is?

Fudge only felt that his head was big, he had only been in office for more than a year, how could he encounter so many things?

He's so hard!

Fudge walked around the cave, thinking about what to do.

The first thing he thought about was to hide it, but it couldn't be concealed at all.

If there is no Dark Mark mark, it is enough to simply say that Gringotts has been stolen without the slightest loss.

But now that the Dark Mark has appeared, and a Death Eater has been captured before, and two have appeared in just a few months, people will doubt the ability of the Ministry of Magic.

"Mr. Minister, I'm leaving with this kid now, and he must rest." Nick Lemay walked over.

Fudge looked at the old man in the Givenchy shirt and looked at it for a long time before he recognized it.

"Ah, Mr. Nicol Lemay, how are you? How did you end up here, not in Devon? โ€

"Well, I just happened to be here, but I have to take this kid with me now."

"What, you know William?" Fudge was startled.

"Yes, during the summer vacation passed a long letter." Nico laughed.

"Oh, that'...... Then let's go. Fudge stumbled.

"Sir, I can't leave yet." William swallowed his sleepiness and said, "I need an explanation. โ€

"What's that?" Fudge became irritated again: "You just attacked the officials of the Ministry of Magic, and I will not pursue it. โ€

"Not Umbridge...... It's Gringotts' statement. William said coldly.

"My family and I came to Gringotts to save money, but we were attacked, where did those Gringotts guards go after I fought for so long?"

Fudge turned to glare at an old elf behind him and asked, "Yes, what about the Gringotts guards?" We, the Ministry of Magic, have not been alerted, and have not caught the black-robed wizard, and this is all your responsibility! โ€

Fudge seemed to grasp at a life-saving straw, and with a twist of his face, he pushed the blame away.

The old goblin looked evasive, and refused to speak.

William sneered, he could probably understand the other party's thoughts.

The reason for not reinforcing immediately was that he found that the black-robed wizard was very strong, and he didn't want to lose his strength for no reason, and wanted William and that man to fight each other.

As for the Ministry of Magic...... Not to mention notified, if the Ministry of Magic arrived, it would give them an excuse to investigate Gringotts.

Without the intervention of the Ministry of Magic, this matter would have been able to cover up the past and maintain the ancient reputation of Gringotts.

But they didn't expect it to be so big, and before the wizard left, he also struck the Dark Mark with a blow.

"We are willing to compensate." The old goblin bowed slightly.

William smiled.

That's what he wants.

Gringotts is sorry for them first, and William can't really wash Gringotts because of this matter, he is not a dark wizard, and he does not have this power.

But Gringotts had to be slaughtered once to soothe the mood.

William pointed to the dead dragon.

"I want it!"

Fudge's eyelids jumped, he thought that William would ask for a thousand Galleons at most, but he didn't expect Merlin to open his mouth like this.

"It can't be!" The old goblin said angrily, "The fire dragon is Gringotts' private property, and it can't be given to anyone, even if it's dead. โ€

A fire dragon is a treasure all over its body, which can be said to be a sky-high price, and the most important thing is that it is difficult to buy.

Gringotts has its own dragon farm in Africa, but they are reluctant to give away a complete dragon corpse as compensation.

"If not, I'll tell the Daily Prophet the whole thing." William dragged his voice like Professor Snape.

"I think journalists will be interested, and readers will be more interested in knowing how Gringotts has no regard for the lives of its customers, and how it has guarded and allowed Death Eaters to enter and escape."

"You're ......!" The old goblin trembled angrily, and he pointed angrily at William.

William continued, "Of course, I won't want this fire dragon at all.

One-sixth of the dragon will be donated to the Ministry of Magic; one-sixth to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; one-sixth to Mr. Nicol Lemay; one-sixth to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic; The remaining one-third was donated to Ravenclaw College. โ€

Fudge's breathing was slightly short, William didn't want it at all, he donated it all, what a big deal!

The corpse of a fire dragon can be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of gold galleons, and one-sixth is also a large amount.

He's still making a lot of money in secret!

It's just that he doesn't know that William doesn't seem to want anything at all, but what is the difference between donating to Hogwarts and Ravenclaw House and using it for himself?

With Dumbledore and Flitwick in their presence, William was free to use dragon blood or dragon nerves for research.

This is William's cleverness, he swallowed the fire dragon whole, and no one would agree to it, but he still did it very slippery.

Really...... Fudge pondered for a moment before he exclaimed, "This matter is settled, someone will bring the fire dragon back to the Ministry of Magic." โ€

Dozens of Aurors rushed forward, not giving the old goblin a chance to object.

He looked at these robbers with indignation, but there was nothing he could do!

Fudge said, "Let's go, we're going to deal with the damn reporters next." โ€

After the group left, William breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lemay, help me change my parents' memories of them."

"Okay, I will." The old man said.

Sleepiness came like a tidal wave, and William finally fell asleep with Fox in his arms.
