Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 298 Bad News

After pondering for a long time, Aisen didn't even understand what was going on.

"This is simply too bad!"

"Yeah, I don't know if my vault at home has been stolen-"

"I guess I won't have much pocket money this year!"

"Isn't Gringotts very safe? Why did this happen?"

"Tell me, is it possible that it was a play directed by the goblins from Gringotts themselves?"

At the dining table, the students were chattering and discussing enthusiastically. Everyone had a sullen face, and they didn't have the joy they had at the Christmas ball yesterday.

"Professor Eisen, what do you think?" Ron left Fred and came to sit next to Eisen, pointing to the open newspaper.

"I can't tell much from the newspaper. However, I think the safety issue of Gringotts is indeed worthy of discussion." Eisen closed the newspaper and shrugged.

"Professor, do you think what Creevey said is true?" Hermione seemed to have discovered the truth, and whispered close to Eisen, "The goblins of Gringotts directed and acted all of this!"

"Why do you think so?" Eisen twitched the corner of his mouth.

This is as if the staff of the Muggle World Bank enriched their own pockets, secretly siphoned off customers' savings, and then framed them for robbers.

Uh——Although it feels like a movie plot, the possibility of it happening doesn't seem to be out of the question!
But the wizarding world doesn't seem to be like that, uh.Because Gringotts, run by the goblins, has another income, which is to hire curse breakers to travel around the world and dig out gold and other valuable things from some ancient tombs and ruins.

From this point of view, there is absolutely no need for them to enrich themselves.

"The goblins are rebelling, Professor!" Hermione leaned towards Eisen, "Historically, the goblins have launched three rebellions. Although they have all been resolved, they may be secretly planning their next action. They definitely need a lot of money!"

After hearing Hermione's words, Eisen narrowed his eyes slightly.Hmm——, is there another goblin rebellion?It seems that there is no such thing in the original work.

"However, the goblins of Gringotts are prohibited from using wands. In this case, how can they start a rebellion?" As his thoughts were spinning, Eisen still answered casually.

"That must have been done by another dark wizard." Ron on the side immediately showed a confident expression.

For other dark wizards, although this is indeed possible, Eisen still feels that it is unlikely.

The reason? Of course it has a lot to do with Gringotts.

You know, Gringotts is known as the safest place in the wizarding world.Well, maybe a little safer than Hogwarts.

Eisen certainly knows what some dark wizards are, just like the gangsters in the Muggle world.But the question is, after those gangsters run out of money, will they break into the bank headquarters vault to steal money?Obviously not!
Therefore, he would never believe that some dark wizards could do such stupid things in a big way.

However, as he had guessed before, unless there was some treasure hidden in the vaults of some pure-blood families in Gringotts, even Voldemort would have to take risks.Otherwise, Eisen really doesn’t know who would do such a thing.

"It's very possible what Ron said!" Eisen said casually, then seemed to have thought of something and focused on Ron.

"Is there any problem? Professor Eisen!" Seeing Professor Eisen staring at him, Ron lowered his head and looked around, but found nothing wrong with his clothes.He had long since changed into the purple dress he wore at the ball yesterday.

"Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes has made a lot of money in the past two years!" Aisen had a strange look on his face, "Are all the Galleons in your family stored in Gringotts?"

"My God! This is really bad news!" Ron suddenly showed a panicked look, "Professor, I want to talk to Fred and the others."

Indeed, this is out-and-out bad news for all the stolen families.

Seemingly thinking about the bad ending, Ron stood up in a hurry and threw it towards Fred without caring about anything else.

"Fred, George, about Gringotts being stolen-" Ron's panicked voice reached Eisen's ears.

"Yes, we already knew that, we read the newspapers, didn't we?"

"I mean, our family's treasury—"

After Ron's voice fell, the scene was quiet for a moment.

"Oh my God, please don't!"

"Let's go, write home and ask!"

Then, Fred and George's somewhat panicked voices also sounded.

After a sound of clinking dishes, the Weasley twins and Ron ran towards the owl loft in the west tower.

"Has the vault at their home been stolen too?" Seeing Ron's panicked expression, Hermione also showed a little worry on her face.

"Well——, that's hard to say!" Eisen shook his head, "It depends on whether those thieves are after money! By the way, Hermione, have you saved any money in Gringotts?"

"No, I want to buy some things, which will be exchanged directly with British pounds when school starts." Hermione shook her little head.

"Yeah!" Eisen nodded, then looked around, and then discovered something strange, "Where's Harry? I didn't see him coming down, is he still sleeping?"

"He didn't sleep, he got up early and went home!" Hermione pursed her lips.

"Going back to his aunt's house?" Aisen showed a thoughtful expression.

"Yes, Sirius went to the Gryffindor common room in the morning, and he left with Harry." Hermione said and glanced at Eisen.

"Aren't you going home?" Seeing Hermione's eyes, Eisen smiled.

"Oh, I still have some things to do so I won't go back!" Hermione blushed.

……

After dinner, Hermione went to the library, while Eisen turned and walked through the foyer to the outside grounds.

The ground was still covered with thick snow, and only a few shallow footprints remained, extending to Beauxbatons' carriage and Durmstrang's ship.

Obviously, in such weather, especially after the warm atmosphere of the Yule Ball, the students who stayed in school were not interested in going out to play.

crunch--

Eisen noticed that the door to Hagrid's cabin was opened.

A tall figure staggered out and walked towards the makeshift stables at Beauxbatons.He also carried two barrels of single malt whiskey in his hands.

The aroma of wine drifted towards Aisen with the breeze, making people feel drunk.

A few minutes later, Hagrid staggered back to his cabin.Judging from his expression, he didn't seem very happy.Thinking of the conversation between Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim yesterday, Eisen felt that he seemed to understand something.

Perhaps for Hagrid, meeting another witch with giant blood is a happy thing.However, in the wizarding world, things related to giants will always be rejected.

Whether the giant is cruel by nature or bloodthirsty by nature, if you inherit such a bloodline, it is best not to publicize it.Therefore, Eisen can basically predict that Mrs. Maxim will definitely not talk about those things with Hagrid.

"Eisen, are you interested in accompanying this old guy for a walk?" A voice rang at this time.

Eisen turned his head and saw Dumbledore walking down the steps outside the hall and walking slowly towards him.It can be seen that Dumbledore frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Of course there is no problem!" Eisen's lips curled up slightly, and he walked side by side on the field with Dumbledore.

The snow crunched under the feet of the two of them.

After walking around for almost a full circle to the edge of the Black Lake, Dumbledore still didn't speak.This made Eisen very strange, feeling that Dumbledore seemed to be hesitating about something.

Could it be—

Dumbledore's vault at Gringotts was robbed?This idea suddenly popped up in Eisen's mind.But he was expelled in the blink of an eye.

If I remember correctly, Dumbledore's vault seems to be the vault No. 713 where the Sorcerer's Stone was stored.Well, if the Philosopher's Stone hadn't been stolen, Dumbledore would never have looked like this.

Even if all his gold galleons were stolen, I believe he would not take it seriously.

So, why is Dumbledore so hesitant and entangled?
