Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 591 Pregnant Tonks

I saw that the welcome waiters standing in front of the two huge stone doors of Gringotts were no longer the red goblins in the past, but two wizards in tuxedos and white gloves.

Cruz frowned slightly.

He didn't like goblins as greedy creatures. Seeing the waiter turned into a wizard now, he thought that the goblin had hired a wizard to stand at the gate. In his opinion, this behavior was undoubtedly a crime.

But Cruz didn't have an attack. He knew very well that he was incapable of arguing with the goblins, so he admitted decisively.

Of course, he himself didn't want to admit that he was cowarded, and he proudly regarded this behavior as the elegance of a nobleman, after all, noblemen don't know the same as slaves.

So Cruz raised his head and entered Gringotts proudly under the respectful escort of the two waiters.

And as soon as he entered the Gringotts hall, Cruz's frowning brows became even tighter.

Because he found that not only the waiter at the door was replaced by a wizard, but now even the appraiser who counted all kinds of gemstones and gold in the hall and the clerk at the counter have all become wizards.

Not only that, all the elements about the goblins in the hall disappeared, the super high counters set up by the goblins in order to be able to stand up to the wizards have been restored to normal heights, and the dim oil lamps that the goblins did not want to replace due to their miserliness were replaced. It became a brand new and bright magic lamp, and many glass windows were opened on the outer wall.

All these changes made the entire Gringotts look completely new, sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere before, and becoming sunny.

Standing in the brand-new hall with people coming and going, Cruz seemed at a loss for these changes.

At this time, a boy dressed as a waiter came up to him, with a bright smile on his face, and said to Cruz:

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Um... I'm here to withdraw money."

Cruz didn't react for a while, he looked at the handsome young man exuding strong confidence in his gestures, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke.

When the young man saw him like this, the smile on his face didn't change at all, and he said:
"Please come with me, sir. The deposit and withdrawal counter is here. You came at the right time. If you were later and waited until it was close to noon, you would have to queue up."

While speaking, the young waiter led Cruz to a counter, and then opened a soft chair in front of the counter, allowing Cruz to enter.

Cruz moved his buttocks, felt the softness from below, and felt a little better.

He turned his head and saw a beautiful young woman standing behind the counter. She was standing upright, which made her fiery figure wrapped in uniform obvious.

Most importantly, like that young waiter, she also had that warm smile on her face.

All of this caused a smile to appear on Cruz's face involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, before Cruz could speak, the young waiter had already informed the female clerk of Cruz's request to withdraw money.

The female clerk was also neat. She asked Cruz for her identity certificate and magic signature in a soft tone, and after three times, she finished the withdrawal record. Finally, she handed a small bag of Galleon to Cruz with both hands.

During the period, the young waiter brought Cruz a glass of ice water.

At this moment, Cruz was already grinning from ear to ear. This was the happiest withdrawal experience for him. The goblins in the past never had a good face when facing customers like him who came to withdraw money, as if he was Blackmail those leprechauns like that.

Cruz laughed, patted the shoulder of the young waiter beside him and said:

"It's really excellent! I guess you must have come from some big family to experience life in Gringotts, right?"

After speaking, Cruz raised his head again, with a determined look on his face.

But the boy looked at the woman behind the counter, then raised his eyebrows and said:
"I'm sorry, sir, we are not pure-blood wizards, my father and mother are ordinary people, that is, what you call Muggles."

"Uh...how is this possible!" Cruz was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed, "How can such an outstanding young man like you be mud..."

"Shh!"

Before Cruz finished speaking, the young waiter made a silent gesture to stop him, then looked at him with a dangerous look and said:
"Sir, I advise you not to say that word. It has been banned under the latest decree of the great Minister McTownley. If you say it in front of us, you may be arrested. Azkaban is gone."

Cruz stopped talking, he stared blankly at the young girl, with a slightly astonished expression on his face.

Because he found that the gentle smile on the young girl's face had disappeared, replaced by an indifference with arrogance and contempt.

Not only that, because his voice was too loud just now, other people on the counter have also noticed the situation here, and they are looking at him with the same dangerous eyes as the young girl at the moment, and even Cruz saw a Dressed in tatters, it looked like an old mudblood witch was pointing at him and talking to the security personnel in the hall.

All of this sent shivers down his spine!
He grabbed the money bag on the counter, turned his head and ran out of Gringotts as if fleeing. After making sure that no one was chasing after him, he stopped panting, while relieving his breathing while carefully helping his countless much hair.

Until now, he still couldn't believe that those two boys and girls could be Mudbloods!

This is incredible!
Their behavior is simply more aristocratic than Cruz himself, a veteran pure-blood nobleman!
After lamenting how wonderful the world is, Cruz embarked on the journey to the coffee shop again. Although such unpleasant things happened to him before, the noble day is still to be celebrated.

And because of his previous experience at Gringotts, Cruz paid more attention to the shops on both sides when he was walking on the road.

I don't know if I don't see it, Cruz was taken aback when he saw it.

At this time, the shops on both sides of Diagon Alley have also undergone earth-shaking changes. The grotesque shop shapes in the past have all disappeared, replaced by rows of weird buildings that blend fantasy colors and modern atmosphere. This disgusted the freshman Cruze, he hated that modern architectural style, in his words, this kind of Muggle architecture is ugly!
Cruz rubbed his eyes vigorously, so that he could forget the annoying scene just now, and then accelerated towards his intended goal.

But once again he was disappointed.

The coffee shop that only dealt with pure-blood wizards he used to go to was gone at the moment, replaced by a barbecue restaurant.

Their kitchen is open, and through the window, Cruz can clearly see the young chef wearing a chef's hat inside who is skillfully making barbecue with a fire-breathing wand, and the business in their store is also very hot, and the customers even line up. lined up outside the store.

The smell of barbecue kept coming from the open shop door, Cruz swallowed instinctively, but he didn't intend to enter the shop at all.

Because it doesn't match his status as a pure-blooded nobleman!
On the street, Cruz stood there with a pale face.

Looking at the constant flow of people around him and the bustling scene of various stores holding activities in front of the door, Cruz couldn't help but have a terrible thought in his brain.

'Could it be that...times have changed? '

……

In the clock tower on the top floor of Gringotts, Mike was looking at the bustling streets below through the huge tea-colored glass.

A black raven landed in front of him, turned its head, and looked curiously at this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in its home.

Its appearance also caught Mike's attention. Mike stretched out his hand with a smile, wanting to stroke the raven's smooth feathers.

A gleam flashed in Raven's eyes when he saw this. This smart little guy knew exactly what Mike was going to do. It had lived in Diagon Alley for a long time, and some people would often want to touch it.

Of course, those people usually bribed it with some food before touching it, sometimes some bread crumbs, sometimes half a grilled fish.

And now Mike wants to whore for nothing!

Of course this is not allowed!
So the raven raised its head slightly, and waited for the hand to get closer before giving it to the ignorant hairless monkey in front of it!
However, before it launched an attack, it suddenly found that its body froze, and then the big hand grabbed it, hugged it into its arms, and slowly stroked it.

The raven was fat and Mike felt good.

While touching, he continued to look at the Diagon Alley below, and the smile in the corner of his eyes became a bit more intense.

As he had predicted, there was potential in the Muggle wizarding community, especially those who had lived in the Muggle world for a long time.

These guys have the power of a wizard, but also an open mind and a smart brain.

After Mike untied the expectations that were bound to Muggle wizards, they naturally poured into all walks of life in the wizarding world, and gradually began to shine.

The first effect is business.

In the past, the wizarding community in the country used to look down on all Muggle products, thinking that those things belonged to the lowly mudbloods, and disdained to make and use them.

But some Muggle artifacts are really useful, the most classic being food and clothing.

Wizards crave these things, but don't want them from the Muggle world.

How to do it?

The answer is to go to an open country like France to buy imitations made by wizards, which not only satisfies their sense of superiority over wizards, but also allows them to use easy-to-use Muggle creations.

But the problem is that these things are very expensive in France.

After Mike came to power and promulgated a series of decrees, those smart wizards seized this opportunity and began to bring various things from the Muggle world back to Diagon Alley with slight improvements.

Not surprisingly, these cheap and easy-to-use things exploded!The economy of the country's magic world miraculously recovered quickly after the war.

Just like the barbecue restaurant before, it was actually an ordinary American BBQ barbecue restaurant. The poorly crafted Mike couldn't eat it at all, but because the chef was a wizard, he also integrated the magic spell into the production process of the barbecue. , so it became a hot restaurant on Diagon Alley.

So, sometimes you really can't understand the minds of consumers!

This is just a commercial feedback. As the days go by bit by bit, Mike believes that there will be more surprises waiting for him in other places in the future.

After all, the most valuable resource in the wizarding society is talent. In the past, the Muggle wizarding group was stupidly sealed by the Ministry of Magic. Now that they are re-invested in the society, it will naturally arouse great feedback.

This can be regarded as a special population welfare in a certain sense.

Sighing, Mike let go of the raven in his arms, and prepared to return to the Ministry of Magic to continue working.

As soon as the unlucky raven got out of Mike's arms, it found that its body could move again. It flew to the huge pointer not far away in horror, and yelled loudly at Mike.

Mike, on the other hand, ignored him. With a light wave of his wand, he turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the clock tower, leaving only the dazed raven behind.

At the same time, Tonks was lying on a wooden rocking chair.

Although it was summer, Tonks was still wearing long fur pajamas, with a brown blanket covering his stomach.

Looking at the blanket Tonks sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness.

She didn't want to be so twisted, but it was what Lupine wanted.

And Lupine's reason for doing this is also very simple, that is, Tonks is pregnant.

This is something he only found out not long ago. At that time, Lupine was going crazy with joy, and he didn't care about the vegetables and fruits growing in the fields. He just circled around Tonks all day, fearing that Tonks would be cold or hungry. .

Sometimes Tonks was up in the middle of the night, and Lupine would be fined before she woke up, and then looked at Tonks in panic, and would not go back to sleep until she confirmed that Tonks was fine.

Tonks admitted that Lupine's overly caring behavior had made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But she understood Lupine's behavior very well. After all, he was a werewolf. The children born of werewolves and ordinary wizards had a high probability of being werewolves, and only a very small probability of being normal people.

This made Lupine very worried and very guilty.

At the same time, Tonks actually enjoyed Lupine's meticulous care, which made her fully feel Lupine's love for her.

Recalling the ugliness that Lupine made while taking care of her, and his clumsy movements, Tonks gently stroked his belly while showing a bright smile on his face, her ever-changing color The hair turned directly into a soft pink.

While Tonks was still immersed in happiness, in the living room outside the sun room, two men, Lupine and Black, were sitting in front of the extinguished fireplace with sad faces, and remained silent for a long time.
