Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 328
Holidays are undoubtedly a pleasant thing, even after experiencing so many sad and shocking things, when everyone takes their luggage on the return Hogwarts Express the next morning, Most of them have smiles on their faces.

of course there are exceptions.

Harry Potter.

Sitting in the carriage, he seemed a little gloomy, which is not surprising, the continuous events that happened some time ago hit him too hard.

First Krum's death, then his friend Hagrid was seriously injured and almost died, Voldemort who killed his parents was resurrected, and finally a little physical discomfort created his current depressed appearance.

Everyone thought so, even his best friends Hermione and Ron.

However, what others don't know is that the reason why he is frowning today is entirely because he saw a person.

Qiu Zhang.

And the ring that Cho Chang wore on his right ring finger.

That ring was extremely beautiful, with a big diamond inlaid on it, which reflected a rainbow-like brilliance under the sunlight.

Harry had never seen a diamond in person before, so he didn't know whether the brilliance was its natural color or the result of magic.

But the moment he saw the ring, Mike remembered that Cedric had asked Mike to prepare a ring for him in private, and said that he would use that ring to get engaged to Qiu Zhang.

'Cedric is this already successful? '

Harry kept asking himself such a question in his mind.

Although it's not a good thing to be addicted to love at the critical moment of Voldemort's return, Harry still couldn't help himself to think about Qiu Zhang.

This made him very uncomfortable.

He really wanted to talk to someone, but it was too shameful, too shameful for him to tell Hermione and Ron.

The only person he felt he could confide in was Mike.

Harry felt that after the night of the Trifinals, the relationship between him and Mike had sublimated, and he would never forget the joy and gratitude in his heart when Mike stretched out his hand and said that he would take him home.

It's a pity that Mike has no plans to help the little kid solve his emotional problems now.

At this moment, he was sitting in a car separated by the members of the Freemasonry with the members of the Freemasonry, discussing the respective tasks of each member during the holiday.

The first is Penello.

She had officially graduated from Hogwarts, although due to various things, she didn't do very well on the Ultimate Wizarding Exam.

But these are not important anymore, because she will soon enter the Los Santos Group and serve as the secretary of the group boss Mike.

The first task assigned to her by her boss was to release a reward for the Slytherin locket. The amount of the reward was: 1000 Galleons for those who provided information, and 10000 Galleons for those who directly submitted the locket.

Mike believes that unless the pendant box has fallen into the hands of some pure-blood nobleman who is not short of money, otherwise, as long as the owner of the pendant box sees this reward, he will definitely rush to give the pendant box to himself .

After all, the money he gave was too much, enough to support a person's expenses for most of his life.

On the other side, Benjamin, Franklin and others were also given a task by Mike, which was to accompany him to Gringotts to check out.

Although Gringotts' defense system is not as invulnerable as others boast, Mike, as a professional robber, knows that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and they must be perfect in their preparations, because what they are doing now Preliminary preparations could have saved their lives during the operation.

This is what an old friend in a wheelchair in his previous life warned him.

That old friend was the brains of their team, and almost all the actions were planned by him, so Mike always believed in what he said.

When Mike finished arranging all the characters, the train finally arrived.

Everyone in the carriage left the carriage one after another, deliberately dispersed and mixed in with the crowd getting off the train, and walked towards the platform.

Around them were densely packed with students who were anxious to go home and parents who came to pick up their children, and the platform was in chaos.

But in such a chaotic place, the members of the Freemasonry looked towards the young man who was slowly walking down the train door as if they had a telepathic connection with each other.

The blond boy seemed to notice their smiles, and nodded at them with a smile.

Smiles were also on the faces of the Freemasons, and they walked out of the station in all directions along the station platform without hesitation.

They all know that the first large-scale mission since the establishment of the Freemasonry has begun!

……

The next day, Mike took Benjamin and Franklin, who had just been reunited with their families for one night, to Gringotts.

This time, their task was to record what they saw in Gringotts.

Therefore, both Franklin and Benjamin wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of their noses. This was Victor's latest research work. Its mirror was engraved with dense ancient runes, which gave it the ability to record images.

It is said that the reason why Victor researched such a prop was completely influenced by the 007 movie.

Of course, this is all irrelevant.

Mike was at the forefront, and Franklin and Benjamin were half a step behind Mike, walking into the tall white building in the center of Diagon Alley.

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the famous bronze door and the admonition on it to warn against spying on Gringotts.

Franklin and Benjamin looked at each other and laughed together. The scene in front of them was really funny. They came here this time to prepare for the robbery of Gringotts.

Standing by the bronze door were two goblin guards in scarlet gold-inlaid uniforms. The two of them looked at the group of three people, and their eyes lit up.

Mike visited Gringotts today as the boss of the Los Santos Group, so he dressed more formally.

And Franklin and Benjamin are currently Mike's assistants, so today they are also dressed in neat suits and look like human beings.

Benjamin even deliberately combed his hair back, which made him look a lot more mature, and indeed he looked like a social elite.

But Benjamin's hairstyle today made Franklin very unhappy.

He originally wanted to have a good-looking hairstyle, but it's a pity that Nigg's hair quality is really bad. Franklin is the Nigg in Nigg, and he has become a quasi-bald man at a young age, so he can only shave it. A big bald head.

Franklin and Benjamin followed Mike from left to right, which made Mike look like a rich young man with bodyguards and butlers!

That's right, the two goblin guards regarded Benjamin and Franklin as housekeepers and bodyguards.

They really couldn't be blamed for this. In the wizarding society, there was no concept of business elites at all, and the most existing ones were families.

So although Benjamin dressed himself up like an elite white-collar worker, in the eyes of the guards, the identity that best suited his temperament was the butler.

As for Franklin, with his bulging tendons that supported the whole suit and his fierce and serious face, it was impossible to make people think of him as an evil force or a bodyguard.

"Dear guest! Are you here for business at Gringotts?"

A goblin guard smiled and asked the leader Mike, while the slightly taller guard behind him looked annoyed, as if he was worried about why his companion took the lead.

"I'm here to save money."

Mike's expression is serious and concise, and his attitude can be said to be quite bad.

However, the goblin guard didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, the flattery on his face became stronger.

"Follow me, my lord!"

After saying that, the goblin guard hurriedly opened the door for Mike, and led a few people inside.

The scene in the Gringotts hall has not changed much from the last time Mike came. There are many counters densely distributed in the spacious hall, among which there are counters dedicated to identifying gems and antiquities, and there are also counters for pawning or redeeming pawns , of course, the number of counters for depositing and withdrawing Gold Galleons is the largest.

Since Hogwarts had just been on holiday, there were many people who came to Gringotts to withdraw money to go to Diagon Alley for consumption, so at this time, Gringotts was buzzing with people, and there were business guests everywhere. There are even long queues at some counters.

However, the queue is full of mud legs, so a distinguished guest like Mike naturally doesn't have to endure such a long wait.

"Dear guest, may I ask your last name?"

"Mike, Mike Townley."

The goblin guard's eyeballs rolled around a few times, and finally the variegated pupils shrank suddenly, and exclaimed:
"You are Mr. Townley? The boss of the Los Santos Group?"

Mike nodded expressionlessly.

Mike was not at all surprised that this goblin knew his name. The Triwizard Tournament brought him a huge reputation, and at the same time, the Los Santos Group had also expanded at an alarming rate in the past two years.

If it was a normal person, the reputation of the champion of the Triwizard Tournament might be even louder, but for a greedy creature like a goblin, reputation is worthless at all, and all they care about is Gallon.

"Oh! Please forgive my blindness for bringing you here, Mr. Tangley! Please follow me, this is the VIP counter!"

The goblin bent her waist, as if she was kneeling on the ground.

Hearing this, the corners of Mike's mouth rose slightly, and a shiny gold Galleon shot towards it with a flick of his wrist.

"Reward you."

The gold coin was thrown by Mike a little bit, the goblin flew over without hesitation and grabbed the gold coin in his hand, the movement was so fast that even Mike was a little stunned.

"Thank you! Generous guest! You are the kindest man in the world!"

The goblin continued with the compliment, as if hoping for more.

It's a pity that Mike didn't intend to waste time on it, so he just waved it to lead the way.

A look of disappointment flashed across the goblin's face, but he didn't say any more, but brought Mike to a huge counter.

This counter is really huge, and the tall counter is nearly two meters high, which makes the goblin teller sitting inside look a bit tall.

"Sir, do you need anything?"

An old goblin with gold-rimmed glasses on the counter asked with a smile.

"I'm Mike Townley, and I'm going to go to my treasury to make a sum of money in person." Mike still had no expression on his face, pointing to Benjamin and Franklin behind him and said, "These two people are my secretary. Will come here to deposit and withdraw Gold Galleons instead of me."

The old goblin narrowed his eyes and looked at Benjamin and Franklin, which made Franklin and Benjamin very nervous.

Fortunately, the old goblin's gaze didn't stay on the two of them for too long. After looking at the three of them a few times, he began to flip through a thick and amazing ledger while muttering Mike's name.

"Aha, I found it. Mr. Townley, you are the VIP of the second-tier vault, right?" Seeing Mike nodding, the old goblin grinned, revealing the ferocious fangs inside, "Given the current identity and possession wealth, I strongly recommend that you upgrade your treasury to level one!"

When Mike heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Gringotts' vaults are divided into four levels, namely Level [-] to Level [-] and public vaults.

Among them, public vaults, as the name suggests, are vaults that provide storage services for ordinary customers, while Levels [-] to [-] are private vaults with professional security.

The first-level treasury not only has a lot of magic restrictions attached, but its location is next to the fire dragon guards, and the defense can be said to be flawless.

The defense of the second-level and third-level vaults is much weaker. Like Mike's previous level-two vault, there are not many magic restrictions attached to it, and it is quite a distance from the lair guarded by the fire dragon and the sphinx. distance.

At this time, the old goblin on the opposite side obviously recognized the identity of the boss of Mike Luo Sandu, so he wanted to let Mike upgrade the vault.

And the purpose of Mike and others coming to Gringotts this time is to step on the spot. They were still worried about not being able to enter the scope of the first-level vault, but they didn't expect someone to bring them pillows when they fell asleep.

"That's the best way. To be honest, I don't feel at ease putting so much money in a mere secondary treasury."

Hearing what Mike said, the smile on the face of the old goblin opposite became even brighter.

It snapped its fingers, and then the high counter came down.

"Because the authentication system of the first-level vault is more complicated than that of the second-level vault, we need to collect your identity information, wand and tokens again." The old goblin said and turned his attention to Benjamin and Franklin behind Mike, "and Since you said before that you want your secretary to help you manage your belongings, your two secretaries also need to register the wand and identity information, and only after registration can they enter the vault with your keepsake."

Mike nodded, and handed over the wand and the token as requested by the old goblin. Franklin and Benjamin followed Mike's example and handed out the wand.

After receiving the wand, the old goblin changed his previous attitude and became extremely serious.

It didn't smile again until the registration was completed and the things were returned to everyone.

"It's confirmed, Mr. Tangley." The old goblin waved his hand, "Now, our staff will take you to the vault."

After finishing speaking, a strange-looking goblin came out and bowed deeply to Mike and the others.

"Dear guests, please follow me."
