Chapter 309: Gringotts Crisis!
After the family is seated.
Bill Weasley first said, "I didn't have an idea on the fly, but after careful consideration." ”
This sentence made Molly Weasley's face look a lot better.
She was afraid that her son would have a whim, and she would be too disappointed.
Bill Weasley said, "First of all, I have to admit that Gringotts' work is boring, and the elves ostracize anyone but the elves, even if the wizards are their colleagues, they guard us like thieves. ”
"They don't trust any wizards, and all the processes involving money and expenditure are operated by their own personnel, which is too xenophobic, and it is very embarrassing to work there. ”
"Wizards like me who have been in it for five years are already very rare. I've seen many wizards leave after two or three years of working because they can't stand the harshness and suspicion of the goblins. ”
"And there are many places where Gringotts is very backward, such as weighing gold coins and gemstones, they still use small gold scales that have been used for hundreds of years, trays. ”
"Muggles, on the other hand, already had weighing tools that were accurate to milligrams or even smaller, and they could be purchased for a small fee. I had also researched the banks of the Muggle world, and found that Gringotts' business had long since become outdated. Muggles have a wide variety of banks, and they dabble in everything. Gringotts is still the same, with only two functions, saving money and withdrawing money. ”
"I talked to my goblin bosses, hehe, they didn't listen to me at all, and said that Muggles were some mess and would definitely be eliminated. ”
Arthur Weasley nodded and smiled: "You are right, but this is just a defect of Gringotts, and it has nothing to do with your desire to leave Gringotts and take the "male wizard" examination of the Ministry of Magic." ”
Bill Weasley smiled slyly, "Mainly, I found something else. ”
"The Ministry of Magic is a place where all eyes are raised, and any disturbance is not a trivial matter, and after many new departments of the Ministry of Magic were established, I noticed that there was a British wizarding banking department, although that department was now an empty shell, but I didn't believe Professor Dumbledore...... The minister just wants a house with a sign. ”
"And since the last time Minister Dumbledore tried to enter Gringotts in order to capture the remnants of Voldemort but was pushed away for more than a month, I have noticed that many big families are secretly transferring their assets out of Gringotts in batches, and these wizards belong to the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic, such as the Malfoy family, Greengrass, and the Black family......"
"This situation is absolutely abnormal", those family members have survived in Gringotts for hundreds of years, and they will never be used until the time of the family's life and death. ”
"So I think it's very likely that this is what Minister Dumbledore meant, that he wants to run an official bank under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, a wizard's own bank. ”
Molly Weasley immediately retorted, "Nonsense, do you know how long Gringotts has been around, at least more than a thousand years! No wizard or any wizarding government would have the idea of competing with it." ”
"I think you're just afraid of getting tired. ”
Arthur Weasley listened to his son's analysis, and his face was a little nervous: "Did the goblins in Gringotts notice that something was wrong with the gold coins under Gringotts that were slowly transported away? ”
"No, the elves checked the bills and found that there was so much Gareon outflow, and excitedly said that Gringotts was more popular. Bill Weasley said, disdainful of the supposedly intelligent race of elves.
Looking at Arthur Weasley's expression, Molly Weasley sensed something.
She opened her mouth and said uneasily, "What?
Arthur Weasley nodded and said, "Hmm. ”
"No, how did I not know about this, Phoenix......" Molly Weasley suddenly stopped talking and glanced at the four children beside him, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, George, and Fred.
Fred suddenly said, "Mom, what are you still hiding, isn't it the Order of the Phoenix?" We knew it when we were eight years old. ”
"What?!" Molly Weasley said in shock.
"You don't think you're hiding it well, do you. Many times in the middle of the night, you have gathered in our kitchenette with your members of the Order of the Phoenix while our brothers are asleep, how can this be hidden from us. ”
George said, "I guess the eldest brother and the second brother knew it earlier. ”
"Really?" Molly Weasley looked at the two grown children.
"When I was a kid, I thought it was you playing games with us, and we just pretended we didn't know. Bill Weasley said embarrassedly.
"Alas......" Molly Weasley was devastated.
I thought it was a good confidential job, but it turned out that it had already been known by a group of bear children.
"Why didn't the Order of the Phoenix inform me about this?" Molly Weasley complained to her husband, Arthur Weasley.
Arthur Weasley's eyes widened: "Who said that I didn't inform you, this matter was first discussed and decided within our Order of the Phoenix, and then Dumbledore asked some wizards close to him from the Ministry of Magic to secretly give some orders." You forgot the first two meetings of the Order of the Phoenix and asked you to go, but you didn't go, just say I'll go. Because you're busy finding a blind date for Bill. ”
Molly Weasley: "......"
Bill Weasley: "......"
"But I still don't feel good, and I'm going to talk to Albus. Molly Weasley said.
Arthur Weasley said, "What are you going to do, Albus has convinced us all, he has read a lot of Muggle economics books, and how Muggle banks work. The function of the real wizarding bank he portrayed to us convinced us that it would not be difficult to defeat Gringotts Bank. ”
"But......" Molly Weasley wanted to say.
Suddenly a boy's mocking voice came from the stairs: "Haha, let me see what this is." ”
"Give it to me, Ron!" a girl followed closely.
A boy with freckles on his face running downstairs was none other than the Weasleys' sixth child, Ron Weasley.
Ron was startled to see the family sitting neatly together
Then he raised a piece of paper in his hand that he didn't know from which newspaper he didn't know, and smiled: "Look, Ginny is secretly looking at someone's picture." ”
As soon as he handed the photo to George, before George could look closely, Ron couldn't wait to announce the answer: "It's Harry Potter!"
"Ginny, how old she is, she has someone she likes, or Harry Potter with such a bad personality. Ron gloated.
However, the reaction of his family left Ron stunned.
He thought everyone would be on the same side as him, blaming Ginny, accusing her of having a crush on someone else at a young age, accusing her of having a bad crush on someone else, but accusing her of liking someone bad, but he liked Harry Potter, who was notorious at Hogwarts.
But the reality is:
"Ron, how can you say that about Harry, have you forgotten that it was Harry who saved your life, found you, and brought you out of the sophomore chamber? Arthur Weasley was unusually angry.
George's eyes lit up: "Ginny, so you're going to be with Harry Potter?"
He and Fred looked at each other and said happily, "That's great!"
"Who doesn't know that Miss Gray, the caretaker of Hogwarts, is very unusual to Harry Potter, if you are with Harry, then even if we blow up the toilet seat of Hogwarts, I am afraid we will not be punished......!
"I'll let you fly!" their mom slapped George and Fred on the head, and they were honest.
Bill Weasley said, "Harry Potter? Ginny, brothers have your back. ”
Ron muttered, "Who's your family?" ”
Jinni snatched the paper cut back with a flushed face: "Fundamentally...... Besides, Harry, is he the one who has a girlfriend, or two ......?"
"Well......" Molly Weasley sighed, "I feel sorry for Harry. You don't know, our family is supposed to be very close to Harry. ”
"We've known Harry's parents, Jaime and Lily for a long time, and we're both members of the Order of the Phoenix, and we're reliable comrades in the fight against Voldemort. ”
"I actually looked for Harry at the end of his first year. I expressed to him that our family was willing to accept him, take care of him like our own children, so that he would no longer be alone, and we would be his family from now on. It's a pity that Harry's kid was too assertive and politely refused......"
Hearing her mother's words, Ginny's face suddenly turned pale, and her little hands couldn't help but clench the photo in her hand.
It turned out that there was still such a story, and she felt that she and Harry should not be as strangers as they were now, they should be together.
But why is this happening?
Ginny was a little uncomfortable.
At that moment, there was a loud bang of the door against the wall.
The last member of the Weasley family, a skinny young man with gold-rimmed glasses, ran down and roared, "Are you bothered! Do you know that I am preparing for the "Wizard Exam" in a few days! I haven't finished my revision, and you keep bothering me! If I don't get into the Ministry of Magic, are you responsible!"
