'I'm really sorry, dear little guest, we really don't have the kind of delicious magical animals you need here, they are not delicious at all, and they can't be eaten......

'And there is no fire dragon you need!' ’

Maybe you can go to the 'Ella Owl Shop' and see the owls they sell?" ’

In the magical zoo in Diagon Alley, in the shop with the name 'Magical Menagerie' on the sign, a female proprietress wearing heavy black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose was carefully picking and choosing this little girl in her pet store in her somewhat trembling tone, and after muttering 'this is not delicious' and 'that is too ugly to be delicious', she went out into the street, and then pointed in the direction of the competitor 'Babbling Owl Store' in the distance and encouraged.

If this little girl was bought as a pet, of course she would welcome it, after all, she wouldn't have trouble with Kim Gallon, would she?

However, after learning that the other party actually wanted the magical beasts to buy and eat, not only was she frightened, but also the pets in her store, the owls, toads, mice, cats, snakes, etc., were frightened and began to make a fuss...... Therefore, as a last resort, she had no choice but to 'amicly' give the terrible little girl who had bought her phoenix egg once two years ago, and now she came again, and she still wanted to buy a fire dragon out of the door of her small shop.

You know, she, the boss, has stopped doing it for two years, and she will never do that kind of unsightly business of selling fire dragons again, no matter what the other party says, no matter how much money she spends, she really can't come up with any 'fire dragon'!

"But ......"

(lll￢ω￢)

"That kind of Scottish round-faced fat chickens are too thin, don't look at them grow big, but after plucking the feathers, they are much worse than chickens, and those broken hairs are not easy to pluck, the meat is too old, it is okay to stew and drink soup, but the meat is not very delicious......"

(ノへ￣、)

For little Annie, who is not happy with meat, the owl is obviously not the object she wants to try again, so the advice given to her by the proprietress of this magical beast shop will definitely not be followed.

anyway

Two days ago, when little Anne went quietly to visit her unicorn friend Anna in the Forbidden Forest, she caught a wild owl...... But it's a pity, its meat is really not delicious, firewood, except for the meat on the thighs that is a little difficult to tear off, the whole body is full of that kind of hard bones, not easy to gnaw at all!

And if it was really delicious, there were so many owls in the owl shed at school, and that beautiful big white bird called Harry's glasses boy, who would have been included in her recipe long ago, so why would they need to come to Diagon Alley to buy them?

Speaking of which, she's been upset for a long time with the big birds who don't sleep in the middle of the night, who like to be nocturnal and fly around the castle, and who on the balcony outside her room!

‘！！ ’

Obviously, the little girl's words startled the landlady of the Fantastic Beasts Shop, because she could hear that this little guy seemed to have eaten owls?

"Anyway, little guest, we really don't have the kind of 'delicious magical beasts' you need here, so please, could you please go somewhere else?"

"Maybe you'll make an unexpected discovery somewhere else?!"

After saying that, the landlady wearing heavy black-rimmed glasses hurriedly turned around and ran to her shop, and after locking the glass door for the first time, she hurriedly hung up the sign that said 'temporarily closed'.

Because now, she's going to appease the magical creatures in her shop, or if the animals are allowed to make a fuss, I'm afraid she won't have to continue her business! After all, the magical beasts in her shop are very smart, and she doesn't want to give them the bad impression that she wants to sell them for meat, and then cause other customers to make a fuss and fear when they come to pick and affect her business?

"Really, if you don't have it, you can't do it, so why are you fierce?!"

o(?? ^')o hum!

Little Anne was not annoyed by the other party's rejection, anyway, there were indeed no magical animals there that she looked at and thought might be delicious, so she simply turned around and left.

“……”

(???? ˇ?? ˇ????)

After finding the super-tasty-looking critter in the shop and being chased away by the owner, and leaving the door of the 'Amazing Zoo' store in some shame, little Anne began to wander Diagon Alley.

"Forget it, don't you have the same knowledge as her, now let's go get some money first, right?"

o(?? ▽｀)o =3 =3 =3

Then, I felt like I needed to buy a few new large crucibles and a lot of them for the soup...... Oh no, she should be suitable for stewing the raw materials of 'potions', so she decided to go to that Gringotts and take the rest of the huge indemnity that she had temporarily deposited inside?

After all, now, the hateful Professor Snape at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the door-slamming Professor Pomona Sprout, who is responsible for teaching herbology and cultivating herbs, have left her Professor Anne like thieves! So, helplessly, she really has no better choice at the moment except to decide to spend her own money to buy what she needs and squander it wantonly.

But......

Anne still thinks that those guys are just because they are stingy, why can those other professors apply for and consume the materials and small animals in the school, and she, Professor Anne, was stopped by them after only a few days? Then it must be treated differently, it must be because of stinginess, right?

(lll￢ω￢)

But yesterday, she had heard from the gatekeeper of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid, the caretaker and keykeeper of the Hogwarts Hunting Grounds...... It is said that what is in the Forbidden Forest can be bought in Tumbling Alley, and what is not in the Forbidden Forest can also be bought in Tumbling Alley?

(?????? ﹃?? `??)

Therefore, she decided that in the future, she would go to the Forbidden Forest less to harm those small animals, or would it be better to spend money directly to buy them? And if she bought it with Golden Galleons, there would definitely be no one to criticize her again, or criticize her for eating magical beasts wrong, right?

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

(Tiebs doesn't want to comment on a well-connected unicorn and a half-human-like centaur who fortunately doesn't eat it, almost all the other 'delicious'-looking magical animals around Hogwarts, especially in the Forbidden Forest, have been poisoned and eaten all over again!) ）

"Hmmm......"

(ー`?? ー)

Diagon Alley in the wizarding world is just a pedestrian street that is not too long, so the tall and conspicuous white building at the interface between Diagon Alley and Tumbledown Alley, and the Gringotts Bank almost in the middle of Diagon Alley, arrived without long of little Annie.

"Hmmm......"

"Tibbs, this should be it, right? We haven't been back for a long time, it's a little weird and nostalgic, I didn't expect it to be the same as before, even the traces of being scorched by us at that time are gone......"

o(??????????) o??

Looking at the shiny bronze gate in front of her, and then at the two fairy guards in scarlet and gold uniforms who had just discovered her arrival and were so frightened that they ran to the gate for the first time, Anne said to her bear Tiebs with some nostalgia.

（…… ）

?? lll￢?? ￢??

Back then, it was the goblins who lived here, but in fact it was probably a bunch of abominable little goblins like Azeroth's greedy goblins who coveted her family's gold! Moreover, after they are greedy, they still want to close the door and let the dragon bite her?

But in the end, all the bad guys who screamed the most were burned to ashes by her, and even the dragon was killed by her release of Tiebs and quickly burned to the skeleton, and the rest of the less bad ones were all hung by her in the hall......

`(*∩_∩*)′

And now that I think about it, I really miss it a little......

Especially the smell of dragon meat roasted over a campfire lit with a wand...... I just don't know, did those goblins catch a new dragon and stuff it into the underground vault next to Lord Gu Ling once again to act as a guard? If there is any, or can she find another chance to beat them up?

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

Thinking about it, and rarely released her spiritual power to scan the other party's underground vault, and then soon, she didn't find any traces of the existence of the dragon, so she had to regretfully open her little short legs and walk forward step by step.

‘！！ ’

And at this time, alone, wearing a small red dress, carrying a stuffed toy bear in her hand, for some groups, the highly recognizable little Annie had just approached within fifty meters and aroused the alarm of a certain fairy guard on the spot!

So, after rubbing its eyes and making sure that it was not mistaken, it hurriedly turned around and ran straight into the bank......

Gringotts, the full name is: Gringotts Wizarding Bank, it is run by the elves, the only bank in the wizarding world of English wizards!

Located in Diagon Alley, London, its main function is to make it easier for wizards to deposit, exchange, or rent vaults!

Moreover, it is also said to be the safest place in the world, because the vaults of the bank are buried deep underground, and the doors of the vaults must be opened by the goblins of Gringotts with special magical powers, so ordinary people, even wizards with strong mana, will definitely not be able to easily sneak into the underground vaults protected by goblins and heavy magic.

"Welcome!!"

'Dear Professor Anne, welcome back to Gringotts, please come this way, Director Bogorod is already waiting for you......

When a little girl walked to the bottom of the steps of the bank, and looked up at the door of Gringotts again, and fell into a brief memory, the fairy guard who seemed to be frightened and rushed into the Gringotts bank for the first time finally ran out, and ran down the stairs directly, nodding and humbly greeting to the little girl standing in front of the steps.

Normally, when wizard customers come to the door, the fairy guards in scarlet and gold uniforms are the maximum etiquette to bow to the guests when the customers are visited...... And to run down the stairs and humbly salute a little human girl wizard and lead the way, like this, has never happened before, and even the Minister of Magic himself has not been treated.

So, of course, the actions of the fairy guard aroused the curiosity and onlookers of the wizards who came in and out.

‘……’

'Hey, whose family is that little girl, and why are the goblins so respectful to her?' ’

'I don't know, but it looks familiar......

I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it a little. ’

‘……’

Hum!

"Professor Annie, please go this way......."

The elven guard in the scarlet and gold uniform ignored the human wizards who were pointing outside the door, and only snorted coldly in their direction before turning around again and dutifully guiding the little girl into the second silver gate of Gringotts Bank.

The elven guard led the other into the golden and spacious marble hall, and it was only after the elven employees sitting behind the large counter began to salute and Director Bogrod came up to take his place that the elven guard bowed deeply once more and carefully retreated back to the Gringotts door.

Seriously, the self-proclaimed powerful elf guard didn't want to be so humble to a damn human wizard, but......

Anyone who has made a big fuss at Gringotts, killed several goblins, killed the dragon guarding the vault, and forced the goblins to surrender en masse and have to apologize for compensation, and then in the end there is nothing to do, then they will definitely be able to receive this kind of VIP treatment from their Gringotts goblin bank.

After all, they absolutely didn't want to be beaten up and hung upside down in the air for a long time with that hot rope of flame. And what the human wizards didn't know was that in Gringotts, among their elves, they had ranked that little girl as the most dangerous, far better than the Dark Lord Lord Voldemort.

"Welcome......"

"Professor Annie, welcome to our Gringotts Wizarding Bank!"

What's weird?

"We've all heard that you recently returned to Hogwarts...... I just don't know, how long do you plan to stay here in London this time? ”

"Oh!"

"Sorry, please here, be careful that the steps are a little slippery, we can go directly to the VIP lounge, and we don't have to queue up over there......"

After leading the little girl into this splendid and spacious marble hall, and vaguely waving his hand to signal the goblin staff who had stopped what they were doing and watched the little girl's arrival with various inexplicable eyes to hurry back to work, the goblin supervisor Bogorode respectfully led the little girl to another direction.

For this little girl who was a little girl who was a gunman and picked hundreds of goblins, more than a dozen guards and djinn from Gringotts with one person and one bear, together with the Aurors who came to support from the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore who appeared at the end, how could he be stubborn at this time?

No matter what, he doesn't want to die yet, and he doesn't want to be burned to ashes by the other party!

"Professor Anne......

"I wonder if there's anything that can help you? If so, could you please do so? ”

So, after inviting the other party to their elf-specific rest room and respectfully pouring each other a cup of coffee, Bogrod humbly rubbed his hands and stood next to him and asked carefully.

"Of course I'm here to get money!"

(?????? ▽??????)

"Didn't they save a lot of gold Galleons from you before? Now people need to buy something, so they want to take it away! ”

(*?? ︶?? *).。.:*??

Anne thinks this goblin seems to be talking nonsense!

She came to the bank to get her money, if she hadn't come here to get money, had she been cheated by these black-hearted guys? Last time, she had already cleaned them up, and she had made a lot of noise and wasted a lot of time...... Anyway, she didn't want to have to fight every time she came here, it would be too much trouble!

Especially if there is nothing she is interested in here, it is even more reluctant to waste time.

"Huh?!"

The goblin supervisor Bogorod suddenly chuckled in his heart and secretly said badly.

"Yes......"

"That's right, I remember, Professor Annie, you did have a large amount of gold Galleons here in Gringotts two years ago......"

Thinking of the large amount of gold galleon compensation that had to be compensated because of the fight with the other party and the fact that he lost, and then whether it was the Ministry of Magic or Dumbledore, or even the righteous 'truth' was not on their goblin side, Bogrod still couldn't help but feel a little faint pain in his heart.

You know, although under normal circumstances, they goblins can reasonably continue to 'save' the 'ownerless' coffers of wizards who have lost their heirs and heirs and refuse to hand them over, even though they are still very rich, even though the Ministry of Magic has begun to meddle in Gringotts' affairs in the past two years...... However, anyone who pays out such a large sum of gold galleons for nothing will always feel a pain in the flesh.

"Let me see ......"

Bogrode quickly took out a ledger that he had with him, and quickly turned to the page he least wanted to turn.

"Professor Annie, after deducting the storage fee, you have one hundred and fifty thousand two thousand gold gallons and one hundred and seventeen silver silks left here!"

"Excuse me, how much are you going to take?"

As soon as he thought of this huge wealth, Bogorod couldn't help but twitch in his heart......

All this, no doubt, is all the fault of the eyeless and unfortunate death of the pull ring! Of course, it's too late to say anything now, after all, the greedy Rachel is dead, and their Gringotts had already completed the payment in time two years ago, and now that the creditor has come to the door again, what else can they do?

Could it be that he Bogrode still dared to refuse to return the huge sum of money that they had kept for two years, and had been lucky enough to think that he could continue to 'save' it?

"Take them all, of course!!"

?? (????????)??

I didn't expect that there were so many gold gallons in this Gringotts, so without even thinking about it, little Anne said that she would take them all!

After all, she didn't really like these short, small, disgusting goblins, and she didn't want to come to this Gringotts every time to withdraw money, so now that she remembered it, it was only natural for her to take them all out and use them all!

Besides, it's not like she can't store those gold gallons in her own space bag, so there is no need to let these nasty goblins in front of her keep them for her.

"Ah......h

"All, all?!"

Bogrode was stunned, even he didn't expect that this little girl really planned to take it all? Then, he directly subconsciously thought: Isn't she afraid that she will be robbed by others when she leaves the gate of Gringotts?

But soon, Bogrod reacted, because he knew that the little girl in front of him was ...... It seems that the other party is really not afraid of robbery by anyone or force?!

"Isn't that possible?"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)？

Seeing the other party's tangled face, little Anne was a little puzzled, she didn't understand, she ran to the bank to withdraw the money she had saved, did these money-greedy goblins dare not give it? Or maybe their bank's own employees embezzled her money from greedy ink, and then wanted to repay the debt?

You know, when she was playing in another earth plane, she had seen a lot of reports on the Internet...... And if that outrageous thing really happened to her, Queen Anne, then I can't say that she and Tiebs the bear will have to burn these villains again?!

“！！”

"Nope! Of course! No problem, for sure!! ”

Seeing the little girl's impatient and suspicious look, Bogorod quickly turned back into the groveling goblin he had just been, and there was no displeasure on his face.

"Please ......"

"Professor Annie, please come here, and the little one will take you to your escrow vault......"

There is no way, the situation is stronger than people, what can he do now except serve this little girl honestly, take the other party to the vault and take those gold galleons?

As for how the other party wants to take away that large amount of gold gallons by himself, it is not something he needs to take care of.

After all, under normal circumstances, wizards always have a way, not to mention the little guy in front of him whose strength is said to be at the top of the wizarding world, and even Dumbledore is a little jealous! Besides, he'd heard that two weeks ago, at the Quidditch World Cup camp, this guy had had another conflict with the Aurors!

As for the result......

There must not be much suspense, it is said that there were twenty Aurors at the time, and they were knocked unconscious on the spot without even having a chance to resist, and Dumbledore and more Aurors who came later did not even dare to say a word of seriousness?

——————————

While a little girl was on her way to Diagon Alley, students from all houses and grades at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, under the command of the prefects and deans, began to gather in an orderly manner in the direction of the Great Hall......

"Hey!"

"Hermione! Where are you going now? Professor McGonagall told all of us to go to the auditorium immediately, saying that our school's guests were coming soon, and we had to hurry!! ”

In a corridor not far from the auditorium, Ron met Hermione, who was running out in a hurry, and when he saw the other party's appearance, Ron suddenly shouted out to the other party.

After all, it was not surprising that almost all the teachers and students were now gathering here in the auditorium, and Hermione was walking out alone.

"Hermione?"

Harry, who was on his way to the school auditorium with Ron, also threw that curious and confused look at their friend Hermione.

Of course, there is a hint of envy...... Because of the small fiery red phoenix hovering over the other party's head, he knew that it was one of the pets that the other party had kept for two years, it was given to the other party by Professor Anne two years ago, and it was the only two phoenixes found in the entire Hogwarts, and even in the entire wizarding world, one of the only two phoenixes to be found!

“！！”

Call!

Hermione took a breath and let her phoenix land on her shoulder before explaining:

"That's ......"

"Professor Dumbledore told me to go to the top of the castle and see if Professor Anne has returned? Because, the guests of our school are coming soon, she is a professor, and she is also one of the judges of the Triwizard Tournament, so she must not be absent, so ......"

"Do you want to come along?"

After a few words of explanation, Hermione extended an invitation to her two friends.

Most of the students had already gathered and sat down in the Great Hall, and if she were to go to the main castle of Hogwarts by herself now, the thought of the dark corridors and spiral stairs would really scare her a little! So, if Harry and Ron were to go with him, it would have been for the best.

Even if, now she is actually accompanied and protected by her phoenix?

‘……’

‘……’

Ron and Harry looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes, because neither of them had been able to go to Professor Annie's place that was said to be more beautiful than Headmaster Dumbledore's, so they were tempted at the moment.

"Hermione, can we really go?"

"Are you sure?!"

Anyway, the guests from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry hadn't arrived yet, and the two of them, who were reluctant to wait in the auditorium so early, were finally tempted.

"Absolutely!"

"Speaking of which, Harry and Ron, you're familiar with Professor Anne too, she won't mind, will she?"

Although she didn't know if it was good or not, Hermione thought about it and felt that Professor Anne, like herself, had spent a few days at Ron's house and knew everyone well, so she would definitely not mind that kind of small thing.

Therefore, after thinking about it, she directly took matters into her own hands and sent out an invitation.

"Great!"

"Of course we're going too!!"

Being able to visit Professor Anne's room at the top of the castle was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so of course Harry and Ron weren't going to give up easily! Besides, if it were at the top of the castle, when the guests from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry arrived, they might have seen a little more clearly than the students in the auditorium?

It is said that the other party will arrive by a terrible means of transportation, but they don't know whether the student representatives of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will take a train or a flying car.

Or maybe they'll just come on a plane?
