"Original...... It's really you!Peter Pettigrew!"

"Damn the goblins, I knew they had bad intentions......"

"Alas, I've said so many times, there is a problem with this investment, there is a problem, why don't you listen to me, you must take all the money out of the bank and throw it into the hands of this damn liar......"

"You still blame me, you didn't say that in the first place......

"Peter Pettigrew!Where's our money?!!"

"I found out the other day, those goblins must have touched the money in our coffers, and I knew ......"

"Finally found you, do you think you ran away?!"

"Catch him and torture him severely! Make him pay back! This liar who kills a thousand knives!"

"That's right, let him spit out all the money!"

"Pay back, pay back, pay back......"

"Pay back! Pay back ......"

Accompanied by Peter Pettigrew's unwavering wooden voice, the entire Hogwarts Quidditch Stadium was silent for a second or two, and then like a basin of water poured into a boiling oil pot, most of the adult wizards exploded almost instantly.

People cursed, blamed each other, prayed, and countless chaotic and noisy voices gradually converged, and gradually only one unity, like a wave of accusations.

Listening to the sounds of conversation around them, the young wizards of Hogwarts looked at each other blankly, frozen in place.

As for the reason for the anger of the adult wizards, the students who were locked in the castle did not know anything.

But at this juncture, the little wizards didn't dare to ask anything, even those children who were born in wizard families and sat with their parents, at this time, most of them looked at their parents who were suddenly emotionally out of control, and didn't dare to say more.

And under this sudden wave of anger, the few dazed adult wizards now look particularly conspicuous.

Mrs. Weasley asked in a whisper as she touched her husband with her elbow.

"Arthur, do you know what's going on?"

"I think it's the investment company that Tumbledown Alley is said to have donated money this morning...... You forget, a few days ago, I received a letter from my distant cousin, who wanted to pull a few of our children to invest......"

"Fortunately, because we don't have much money in our coffers, so you couldn't get in line at that time to withdraw money from Gringotts Wizarding Bank, otherwise our family might have been deceived, how could it be so terrible......"

"Ahem, ahem...... Actually, I didn't go to the bank to withdraw money at all......"

Arthur Weasley coughed a little unnaturally, looked cautiously at the emotional crowd around him, and whispered into his wife's ear, with a smug glee.

"Some time ago, on the recommendation of Professor Dumbledore, I participated in a mega project in the international wizarding community, and I was busy with work every day, where did I have time to invest in Diagon Alley......"

"Come on, you, international mega project, is it a prank to inspect the seat cushion of a foreign flush toilet?"

Molly Weasley raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mr. Weasley suspiciously.

During this time, although she did notice that her husband's working hours were indeed longer than before, and he was a little more tired than before when he came home every night, and even handed in his homework a little perfunctory, and slept more than a pig.

However, Arthur Weasley did not go home for long periods of time without returning home or on business trips, and Mrs. Weasley did not see any major international projects in the newspapers or on the radio, most likely because of the economic downturn, there were more wizards and wizards who used magic to play tricks on Muggles, so that Arthur's workload became larger.

"I can't tell you that. ”

Arthur Weasley's eyes lit up, unaffected by his wife's words, and he said mysteriously.

"It's a top secret, and it's been my greatest blessing that Professor Dumbledore trusts me and is willing to let me be involved in such a rare and large-scale collaborative project about the whole wizarding world, the non-wizarding world, and Hogwarts - the only thing I can reveal is that I'm not the edge guard as you might think, I'm the technical director of the entire project. ”

"Oh? yes. Mrs. Weasley furrowed her eyebrows noncommittally, "Then you'll have to do a good job." ”

Although Arthur Weasley was not so reliable and shrewd in some places, Molly Weasley knew very well that her husband was not the kind of person who was good at lying, and it was impossible to make fun of Albus Dumbledore.

After years of marriage and experience with the Order of the Phoenix, Mrs. Weasley knows how to control her curiosity.

Of course, if Arthur Weasley had been so aggressive in telling her what Dumbledore had asked for secrecy, Mrs. Weasley would have thought that her husband had been under the Imperius Curse or that he was showing signs of corruption in his mind.

Mrs. Weasley ignored her husband anymore, turned her head to look at the children who were staring at her, crossed her waist and raised her eyebrows, and before Percy, Fred and the others could speak, she took the lead in speaking.

"Well, I know what you're trying to ask - unfortunately, our family doesn't have that much money to invest, so we don't make or lose money...... The savings that you have saved up with great difficulty are the manuscript fees of a few of you, and it is the first money in your life, and you can only decide by yourself......"

"Really, Mom, all those manuscript fees are still there?"

"So, whatever we want to buy after that, we can buy it directly?"

The two brothers, Fred and George, had their eyes lit up, and you asked quickly one by one.

And Percy Weasley, who was standing behind the two, did not speak, but a look of excitement appeared on his face, since entering the senior year, he found that there were more and more places to spend money, the most important of which was of course chasing girlfriends, study materials, chasing girlfriends and chasing girlfriends.

It's just that due to the family's financial situation, Percy has not taken the initiative to speak.

After all, in order to celebrate his becoming a Gryffindor prefect this year, his parents have already gritted their teeth and bought him a new owl, even Charlie did not have such treatment at the beginning, but fortunately, with the contributions of their brothers on "New Singing and Singing", the family's economy is much more prosperous than before...... At least Ginny won't have to wear someone else's old robe next year.

"If it's those dangerous things, then don't even think about it, I'll throw it away as much as you buy, I don't want your dad to bring someone to seal our own house one day and then arrest his two sons. ”

Mrs. Weasley snorted coldly, glanced at her excited twin sons, and said angrily.

"Well, it would be better for you to learn more from Percy. ”

"Hehe, Mom, don't you know, Percy is still learning from George...... George's side has almost succeeded, but Percy's side has not made any progress at all, counting on Meryl's help to ...... Uh-huh!"

Fred Weasley pursed his lips and said with a wicked smile.

However, before Fred could finish speaking, George Weasley and Percy Weasley's faces changed, and they both covered his mouth and dragged him away from Mrs. Weasley with his arms around his neck, leaving Ron alone to face Mrs. Weasley's torture.

"Ron, stop...... What succeeded, and who is Meryl?"

Mrs. Weasley narrowed her eyes, stretched out her hand and quickly grabbed Ron Weasley's ear, who was about to slip away, asked with an unkind face, and exchanged a look with her husband beside her, with a thick look of curiosity and strangeness flashing in her eyes.

"These stinky boys, are they ...... at school?"

"Hey, Ron, show Daddy, where are the girls sitting?"

It's just that a situation similar to the Weasleys' calm, warm and harmonious situation is still a minority.

Except for a few isolated autistic families, or wizarding families who received some rumors and care for them in advance, the vast majority of adult wizards who appeared in this stand were almost completely red-eyed at this time.

As Cornelius Fudge asks questions step by step, Peter Pettigrew knows all the details of the entire "Ehrlich Scam", which can be regarded as an extremely comprehensive and professional "anti-financial fraud knowledge lecture" in the wizarding world.

Frankly speaking, this was actually a financial bubble that burst at the first poke, and after Peter Pettigrew's complaint and this public trial for the whole wizarding world, the financial baton that was passed in the hands of wizards completely fell into the depths of hell, and there was no next receiver who could eat it all.

This also means that everyone present has become food for this scam from now on.

The most important thing is that as the emotions of the wizards throughout the Quidditch pitch began to get out of control, a large number of wizards began to use amplification charms, and asked Peter Pettigrew about the whereabouts of the funds, and countless questions exploded around Peter Pettigrew.

However, unexpectedly......

Peter Pettigrew had a strange smile on his face in the face of the overwhelming amount of questions and scolding, and he didn't answer anything other than repeating one sentence over and over again, as if he were stuck in an endless loop.

[All wealth will go to the supreme Dark Lord, and no one has the right to touch it]

The success of the public trial before that turned into a quagmire of despair like a false bubble.

The members of the Wizengamot Tribunal began to rack their brains about how to ask questions and find important clues hidden in Peter Pettigrew's memory, and the Ministry of Magic Aurors, Dumbledore, Otto Apocalis, and others had already gathered around Peter Pettigrew to make sure that this important witness would not be harmed by accident.

The whole scene gradually began to fall into an unspeakable and chaotic stalemate.

However, the other side ......

Just before the chaos began to appear, Cornelius Fudge's question ignited the emotions of the wizards in the audience.

Taking advantage of the noise of the wizards and the fact that no one had the energy to pay attention to the others, Elena quietly left the stands and followed the magic staircase to the exit of the Quidditch pitch, away from the sight of the others.

And at the doorway, a group of wizards in black high-necked trench coats were already waiting respectfully.

"Miss, Gilderoy Lockhart, a senior employee of the Destiny Group, is at your service. ”

Seeing Elena appear in the field of vision, the blonde man in a snow-white shirt and black bow tie standing at the front of the crowd walked forward quickly, one hand in front and one behind, bowing slightly, with a look of respect and restraint on his face.

"The halls of Gringotts Wizarding Bank have been sealed and cleared, and all but the elves are veteran and official members of the Manifest Destiny Group, and the Hyperion's jump system is on standby, ready to answer your orders. ”

As one of the witnesses and executors of the whole plan, Gilderoy Lockhart can be said to have been almost completely tied to the camp of Elena and Grindelwald, and now there is no other choice but to go one way to the end.

However, on the other hand, as he learned about the forces involved in Elena, Dumbledore, and Apocalis, Gilderoy Lockhart became more and more satisfied and glad about his original choice - silently playing with the finances of the wizarding world in the palm of his hand, having the power to subvert the world at any time, and now he is about to enter the Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

If he hadn't chosen to join the Mandate of Heaven group in the first place, but had naively tried to betray the organization, maybe there would have been one more liar writer named Gilderoy Lockhart sitting on the judgment chair at this time.

Oh no...... If nothing else, most likely he will have a few more, even the names he himself dare not imagine.

"Mr. Lockhart, you look ...... Seems scared of me?"

"Huh?" Lockhart's face froze.

"I can understand that in your mind, I may have been a cruel and dangerous demon lord for a long time. ”

Elena whispered with a smile on her face, and Gilderoy Lockhart swallowed a little nervously, as a "recruiter" who had just joined the Mandate of Heaven, he didn't know how to express his opinion on this topic for the time being.

As if not expecting Lockhart's answer, the girl shook her head self-deprecatingly, and did not pursue the question any further.

Moments later, the group of people who had cast the Illusion Charm were already standing on the bridge in front of the gates of Hogwarts Castle, and Elena turned to look at the castle and the crowded Quidditch pitch in the distance, and muttered in a low voice.

"Actually, I also hate being a demon king, whether it's scary or awe-inspiring, I also want to be a little angel that everyone likes, but before that I have to be stronger than other demon kings to be qualified to change the world. ”

Let's go to Gringotts, at the showdown...... It's here. ”
