Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 331 Zhou Hong's self-recommendation

"Then decide to adopt plan b!"

In the conference room, after some verbal battles, Mike finally decided on the final action plan.

Hearing that Benjamin, Soraka, and other members who chose Plan A all showed signs of distress.

In their view, compared to the brutality of plan b, plan a is safer and more reliable.

"Mike, although we are more inclined to plan a, since the result of the voting and discussion is plan b, we will naturally obey the organization's arrangements. But obedience is obedience, I still have to say what I have to say." Benjamin said, "The most important key in Plan B is the speed of breaking through the gate of Bella's vault. Although we can break through the gate within 5 minutes with the help of Victor's solution, this is not enough. You must know that when we really arrive at the scene, every Every second is precious. So, "

Benjamin stood up, scanned the crowd in the meeting room and continued,
"I don't think we need to be too anxious. It might be a good choice to postpone the implementation of the entire plan and give Victor more time to improve the solution."

As soon as this statement came out, it won the approval of other people, and even those who voted for plan b kept nodding their heads.

And Mike, who was in the first place, glanced at the desk calendar on the conference table, which clearly recorded the current date:
1995 7 Month 28 Day.

"Time is running out. At most, I can give Victor a week. After one week, we have to act no matter what."

Mike's words made Benjamin silent. Although Mike didn't speak clearly, he understood that the reason why the current situation of insufficient time is that they waste too much time on preliminary work. Relationship.

If he could obtain the information on the materials of Bella Gate earlier, Victor would have more time to develop the solution.

Thinking of this, Benjamin's fists were clenched tightly without knowing it, and at the same time, an emotion called self-blame slowly rose in his heart.

Mike didn't care about Benjamin at all, he scanned everyone present, and then said:

"During this week, we can't be idle, just in time, we can do some preparatory work."

"Preparation work? Do you mean pretending to be someone else and going to Gringotts to open an account?"

Hearing that Zhou Hong, who was originally bored enough to play with his wand, suddenly regained his energy, stood up and looked at Mike expectantly.

"Uh, in fact, it is possible to use the Imperius Curse to control others to open an account..."

Before Mike finished speaking, Zhou Hong interrupted:

"Let me go!"

"?"

Hearing this, Mike had a puzzled look on his face.

And Benjamin, who was still blaming himself, was even more exaggerated. He jumped up from his seat all of a sudden, and shouted decisively:

"no!"

"Why not? I have the ability to read minds!" As he spoke, Zhou Hong's eyes flashed, and then he showed a sly smile, "Let me tell you, if you took me with you when you stepped on the spot, you don't need me now." Blame yourself for being like this!"

Zhou Hong's words pierced Benjamin's heart like a knife. He blushed in anger and said in a trembling voice:

"This is too dangerous, absolutely not!"

On one side, Zhou Hong and Benjamin were still arguing, while on the other side, Mike was deep in thought.

He was different from Benjamin, he never regarded Zhou Hong as a child from the very beginning, even though Zhou Hong's body shape and appearance looked no different from that of a child.

And after breaking away from this discriminatory view, Mike found that what Zhou Hong said was surprisingly correct.

With mind reading and worrying, Zhou Hong is simply a born spy!

Perhaps as he said, if he had pushed Zhou Hong out earlier, the matter might have been successful.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mike's face.

"Okay, you two don't need to quarrel." Mike knocked on the table to stop the quarrel between the two, "Leave this matter to Zhou Hong."

"Obey! Chairman!"

Zhou Hong spoke excitedly, and even raised his eyebrows at Benjamin after speaking, once again making Benjamin very angry.

"So what are you going to do?"

"How to do it? Do you need to ask? Of course I pretended to be someone else to open an account!" Zhou Hong rubbed his hands and said, "As for who to pretend to be, of course it is that old man Karkaroff!"

Zhou Hong's eyes were shining brightly, and before Mike and others asked questions, he asked himself and answered:
"Then why Karkaroff? The answer is, of course - because it's fun! When the Ministry of Magic finds out that the Gringotts heist happened because Gringotts allowed a wanted man to open an account in their bank , I must have fought with those goblins on the spot? Hahaha! I can't wait to see their expressions!"

Zhou Hong's nervous laughter echoed in the conference room, everyone was a little confused when they saw this, and Mike was even more speechless.

He could see that the reason why Zhou Hong rushed to take this job was not because he wanted to contribute to the organization, but because he just had fun!
With such a willful character, are you really not a child?

Mike thought so, couldn't help shaking his head, and said:

"Well, you can handle the specific matters by yourself. If you need anything, go to Benjamin and Victor. They will do their best to satisfy you. By the way, can you make port keys?"

"Who are you looking down on? Of course I would do such a simple thing!"

"Okay, it's my fault! My fault!" Facing Mike Zhou Hong, there was nothing wrong with him. He hurriedly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, let's end the meeting!"

After speaking, Mike walked towards the meeting room without looking back. Benjamin originally wanted to talk to Mike about stopping Zhou Hong, but Mike moved extremely fast. When he chased him out of the door, Mike had already disappeared. Gone.

"Ugh!"

Sighing helplessly, Benjamin was just about to leave when he heard a low voice suddenly appearing beside him.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Benjamin."

After saying this, Zhou Hong walked away with a smile, leaving only Benjamin gnashing his teeth.

……

In the fireplace hall of the Masonic Secret Realm, Zhou Hong was sitting on the sofa with a displeased face, and next to him was Benjamin who was holding a small package and talking non-stop.

"... There are several bottles of compound decoction in here. You can drink it when the time is almost up. Don't save. Also, these compound decoctions are all improved by me. They taste much better. I even refer to I learned the manufacturing method of Dolphin Magic Drink and created different flavors for him. For example, this bottle is strawberry flavored, this bottle is orange flavored, and this bottle..."

Faced with Benjamin's long-winded words, Zhou Hong gradually began to feel hopeless.

Now three days have passed since the time to finalize the plan. In these three days, Benjamin has made sufficient preparations for Zhou Hong's operation to go smoothly, and the most important thing among them is the compound decoction.

This kind of potion that can turn people into other people is nothing to Benjamin, but the most difficult thing is that if you want to turn Benjamin into Karkaroff, you must add Karkaroff to the polyjuice potion Husband's body tissues, such as hair, nails and the like.

But Karkaroff is now gone!

Fortunately, Karkaroff was too anxious when he ran away, and he took down too many things, including the cloak.

Through magic, Benjamin extracted Karkaroff's hair from the cloak, and then created a polyjuice potion that could turn people into Karkaroff.

"I see, give it to me."

Finally, Zhou Hongzai couldn't stand Benjamin's Tang Seng behavior anymore, he grabbed the cloth bag from Benjamin's hand, took out a bottle of potion from it and drank it down.

The next moment, Zhou Hong's body began to twist and deform, and finally turned into Karkaroff's appearance.

After the transformation, Zhou Hong looked at his body with satisfaction, and then led the cloth bag that Benjamin had prepared for him, and walked into the fireplace that had been sprinkled with Floo powder.

"Be careful! Zhou Hong! If there is any danger, use the Portkey to teleport it back!"

Benjamin's worried voice was still echoing in his ears, but Zhou Hong appeared in the crowded Leaky Cauldron at this moment.

Zhou Hong pretended to be very nervous, stretched out his hands to squeeze the big hat on his head, hugged the bag in his arms tightly, and left the bar quickly without even patting the dust off his body, heading for Gringotts.

The guards of Gringotts respectfully opened the gate for him, and then looked at Zhou Hong with a smile on their face, waiting for his tip.

Unfortunately, Karkaroff should be an extremely stingy person.So now Zhou Hong, who was pretending to be Karkaroff, didn't intend to pay a tip at all, and directly bypassed the two guards blocking the way and walked towards an empty counter.

"I want to rent a treasury." Zhou Hong lowered his voice and said in slightly stiff English, "Use it to save money!"

The goblin who was busy at the counter cast a glance at Zhou Hong, and then his eyes lit up.

Zhou Hong in front of him looked sneaky, he really didn't look like a good person.

And this kind of person is undoubtedly the easiest to blow up oil and water!

"It's a pleasure to serve you, sir. What grade of vault do you need?"

"The safer the better!"

"Okay. Then please register your personal information and your wand."

The goblin on the counter smiled formulaically, then took out a form and handed it to Zhou Hong.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Hong filled out the form according to the information collected about Karkaroff and handed it back.

The goblin looked at the name on the form, her pupils shrank suddenly, and then she raised her head suddenly, looked at Zhou Hong's appearance and then at the wall next to her.

Following its gaze, Zhou Hong saw that there was a wanted notice from the Ministry of Magic pasted on that wall, and the wanted person on it was Karkaroff!

"I've heard that Gringotts won't turn away any guest, even if he's a Dark wizard. Is that right?"

Zhou Hong's tone became extremely tense. He hugged the cloth bag in his arms tightly, pressed the brim of his hat again, and at the same time turned his body slightly, posing in a posture that he could run to the door at any time.

The smile on the goblin's face became brighter when he saw this, and he said with a smile:
"Yes, sir, Gringotts does not care who the guests are."

'But I'm personally different, if you don't give me a hundred today...no!If you don't give me a thousand galleons, I'll report it to the Ministry of Magic later! '

The goblin didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Zhou Hong relied on his mind-reading ability to read it.

Suppressing a smile, Zhou Hong pretended to be distressed and grabbed a handful of Galleons from the cloth bag and stuffed them into the goblin.

"Enough!"

The goblin greedily looked at the gold coin in front of her, but shook her head involuntarily.

Seeing this, Zhou Hong didn't even hesitate, grabbed the gold coins on the counter, turned around and left.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, the goblin's thin, nervous voice came over.

"Wait! Sir!"

Zhou Hong smiled, but turned around with a nervous expression.

"Sir, I think that's pretty good just now!"

With the sound of gold coins colliding, the goblin closed her eyes in satisfaction, and handed a key to Zhou Hong at the same time.

"Sir, here is the key to your vault. I will have someone take you there later." The goblin said, "I'm sorry that this is not the safest first-tier vault, but I think the second-tier vault is already ok. It meets your needs."

Zhou Hong knew that what the goblin meant was that a guy like Zhou Hong was not worthy of owning a first-class treasury.

There was a hint of contempt in such words, but Zhou Hong was not in the mood to deal with the goblin ink at the moment. After glaring at it viciously, Zhou Hong followed the guide and got on the mine cart.

When the mine cart started to speed up, Zhou Hong screamed excitedly.

The minecart that Mike and Benjamin hated looked so interesting to Zhou Hong, it was a hundred times more exciting than the roller coaster in the playground!
But after screaming, Zhou Hong regretted it, because obviously an old thief like Karkaroff would never be so excited to scream because of such a trivial matter.

Fortunately, through mind reading, Zhou Hong found that the guide sitting in front of him was not suspicious, and even increased his speed very maliciously, trying to scare him into the urine!

This made Zhou Hong very happy. He shouted excitedly, enjoying the passion brought by this extreme speed, and arrived at the platform where his treasury was located with sparks and lightning all the way.

After getting off the car, Zhou Hong quickly put away the remaining excitement on his face, and complained to the goblin guide who was proudly getting on and off the mine cart:

"Your service is terrible!"

The goblin guide naturally knew that Zhou Hong was referring to the mine cart, so he apologized in an insincere tone, and then helped Zhou Hong open the door of the vault.

Zhou Hong muttered and continued to complain, while walking towards the vault.

The guide followed behind him, but when it was about to step into the vault, Zhou Hong suddenly turned his head and said viciously:
"what are you doing?"

"Help you organize the vault, sir, this is our practice here."

"I don't need it! Wait outside for me!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Hong roughly pushed the goblin guide out.

'Uninformed soil turtle! '

Hearing the voice of the goblin who was pushed out of the vault by himself, Zhou Hong smiled. He took out a mug from his arms, and slowly pointed at it with his wand...
