Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 892: Confrontation, each using their own methods

 Is the Auror Office short of galleons?

There is no doubt about this, especially as the conflict between them and the Death Eaters becomes more and more intense. Whether it is recruiting new Aurors, buying potions, or issuing pensions, a lot of galleons are needed.

But the Ministry is also short of Galleons. Almost every department is reaching out to the Minister, and the little allocated to the Auror Office is simply not enough.

That was why Scrimgeour put aside all his work and just listened to them arguing for hours.

Making money is all for work, not shabby.

Half of thirty thousand Galleons is fifteen thousand Galleons. Just by sitting for a few hours and cooperating, you can get so much funds. No director would refuse it.

It's a pity that they don't have this opportunity.

Scrimgeour drew himself up and continued to play his part until the end of the matter.

Fifteen thousand galleons, this number was much more than he thought, it was a huge profit.

As for the nominal purpose of the money... no one cares.

Diagon Alley has indeed suffered a certain degree of damage, but this is the magical world, and dragon flames are not powerful fires. A simple repair spell can solve most problems, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

The goblins knew this too, but they paid for it anyway.

Because this is just an excuse. The Ministry of Magic needs galleons, and the goblins need to settle the theft as soon as possible to restore Gringotts' reputation. Both parties have a tacit understanding.

However, originally this process did not need to be so complicated, but Kyle took the initiative to take over the job, which directly doubled the price they had to pay several times.

Thirty thousand galleons...Bogrod's heart was bleeding. According to the plan discussed when they came, this was already the bottom line of the bottom line, and it was impossible to add another knut.

It really didn’t want to argue with Kyle anymore. This man was simply the most shameless wizard he had ever seen. He was unreasonable and unforgiving. He would speak out if he was irresponsible. His big hat would be thrown at the goblin’s face one after another. buckle.

If it goes on, even it will doubt whether the goblin raising the fire dragon really wants to rebel.

I'm tired, so be it.

"Very well, now that we've finished talking about business, it's time to talk about personal matters." Kyle took another sip of butterbeer. "Isn't it time for you to give me an explanation for the six thousand three hundred galleons that were taken away from me?"

Not finished? !

Bogrod felt relieved again.

"Your money has been taken away!" He said hoarsely: "What happens next has nothing to do with Gringotts."

It also wanted to drink butterbeer, or even water, but no matter how it hinted, the Auror ignored it as if it didn't see it at all.

Damn wizard!

"It's irrelevant?" Kyle sneered, "If I was robbed outside Gringotts, I would never say anything, but I was robbed in your vault. If it weren't for that goblin's face, I would Will you let down your guard?

"He lost a lot of Galleons when he took it from me. You can go check it out!"

Bogrorod stared.

They did find some scattered Galleons in the tunnel, but that doesn't prove that the wizard was robbed!

"You don't mean to say that I threw those galleons, right?" Kyle glanced at Bogrod, "Do you think I have the time? Or do you think Death Eaters are so talkative that they will help me with this?" enemy?"

Bogrod moved his mouth but said nothing.

"So don't talk about those useless things. This is caused by your negligence...compensation, medical expenses, mental compensation, nine thousand galleons, not a knut less!

"If you don't agree, I will go to the Wizengamot and sue you Gringotts!"

"Well...you Gringotts will most likely not win." Scrimgeour stood up and said something fair.

"We Aurors have carefully checked Kyle's belongings, and indeed we did not find the Galleons he just took away."

Kyle had just helped the Aurors get such a large amount of money, and he was willing to provide a small help.

Of course, Scrimgeour didn't lie. The Auror really checked Kyle's lizard-skin bag in front of Bogrod.

It's just that they didn't find anything. Although there were some Galleons, it was so different from the number of six thousand that it was basically certain that the two were not the same thing.

Does Bogrod believe it?

It may believe it, but it doesn't want to pay.

So the two sides started a new round of wrangling.

But this time, Kyle has a new helper.

Scrimgeour, representing the Ministry of Magic, would say a fair word from time to time, and Dumbledore would occasionally chime in.

One-on-three, Bogrord's pressure doubled. He lasted less than two hours before he couldn't stand it anymore and left the Auror office on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Kyle rubbed his throat and turned to look to the side.

"Mr. Dumbledore, why are you here?"

"I came to visit you," Dumbledore said. "You were sent to St. Mungo's by Aurors in full view of the public. As the vice-principal, I naturally want to visit the outstanding graduates on behalf of Hogwarts."

"Vice principal?" Kyle blinked.

"Ah, the school directors were unwilling to let me leave the school completely." Dumbledore explained: "So after discussing with Minerva, they hired me again.

"It's just that Severus may not be very happy. He was supposed to be the vice principal, and I took his position."

"That's it." Kyle nodded.

He understood the school director's thoughts very well. After all, Hogwarts was the safest with Dumbledore around. It was normal not to want to let people go.

The current situation is equivalent to a change of positions between Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.

"Then you just said you were a passerby." Kyle asked, "Aren't you afraid that the goblin will cause trouble for you when he knows the truth?"

"The letter of appointment will not take effect until tomorrow." Dumbledore blinked and continued: "It's just that I heard later that you left St. Mungo's."

"Something happened...a little incident." Kyle was a little embarrassed.

The goblin went to St. Mungo's with him, and from the time they were on the road to the bandages, they had been discussing compensation.

The sound was a little loud, and their voices could be heard in the hall even on the sixth floor. Dean Sasia, who couldn't bear it anymore, kicked them out.

They couldn't quarrel in the street, so Kyle didn't care, but the goblin looked like that... If ten Muggles saw it, nine out of ten Muggles would have to call the police.

In order not to cause trouble to the people in the accident reversal team, they simply moved the battlefield to the Ministry of Magic.

"Your Galleons were really taken away?" Dumbledore looked at Kyle and asked meaningfully.

"Of course." Kyle said without hesitation.

Dumbledore nodded. As for whether he believed it or not...is there any need to say it?

If the Death Eaters really robbed Kyle of six thousand galleons, he didn't think they could leave so easily.

The few people waited for a while, but Bogrod had not returned yet.

"That goblin couldn't have run away." Kyle frowned and muttered.

"No," said Dumbledore.

He finally understood that Kyle now fully represented the Ministry of Magic, and while helping them, it was also giving him leverage.

If the people in Gringotts really want to solve this incident, they must ask Kyle to nod. This is also the tacit consent of the Ministry of Magic...

Benefit fee?

I guess so.

Sure enough, as soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the door of the office was opened.

Bogrod walked in from the outside dragging his short legs. Before Kyle could speak, he took the lead and said: "Six thousand five hundred galleons, the extra is Gringotts' thanks for helping drive away the Death Eaters." only."

It did not mention medical expenses or the so-called mental damages at all.

The goblins do want to spend money to suppress this matter, but that doesn't mean they are willing to rub their brains on the ground again.

Once is enough, you can’t keep coming.

"No problem." Kyle nodded and agreed without any nonsense.

If he guessed correctly, Bogrod should have gone to contact the goblins of Gringotts just now.

Although this number did not meet Kyle's psychological expectations, the greedy goblin was willing to compromise, and he was willing to give the other party a face.

If you want to earn less, just earn less.

"More than a hundred Galleons... You Gringotts are cheap enough." Kyle said: "When will the Galleons be delivered, I'm warning you, don't think about delaying it for a year and a half.

"If there is no money, I'm worried that my colleagues in the Ministry of Magic will not be in the mood to do anything."

"You, you..." Bogrod looked directly at Kyle, but quickly faded away.

"Let's do it as soon as possible..." it sighed, "You also know that nearly 40,000 Galleons is not a small amount, even Gringotts needs time to raise it.

"But I promise that when Gringotts is ready, it will be delivered as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Kyle tried to still immerse himself in the large amount of Galleons, but this time he was surprisingly easy to talk to. The corners of Bogrorod's mouth couldn't help but curl up, but he quickly recovered, as if nothing had happened.

After that, it’s all about the optional details, and it doesn’t take long.

After reaching an agreement, Bogrod turned around and ran out of the office, fearing that if he moved any slower, he would be angry to death.

It's so tiring.

Not only is my heart tired, but my throat is also tired.

Everyone says that goblins are greedy and have no bottom line, but in its view, this wizard is the most greedy. His appetite is bigger than that of a horned camel, and his heart is more poisonous than that of a poisonous leopard.

Dealing with him was torture every minute and every second.

Bogrod also felt a little regretful. If they hadn't tried to shift the responsibility to the wizard when they were in the vault, wouldn't these things have happened?

But the problem is that they didn't know that this would happen at the time, so they habitually wanted to remove Gringotts from this turmoil and find someone to bear the loss.

It would have been nice if those Aurors had come later.

Bogrorod sighed, quickened his pace again, and soon disappeared into the corridor.

…

As soon as the goblin left, the atmosphere in the Auror office suddenly became joyful, especially Scrimgeour's grin that never closed.

The monthly salary of an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Magic is only about sixty galleons... Fifteen thousand galleons is really a huge sum of money.

With this money, it will be much more convenient to do some things, and some of the pensions that have been owed before can be paid in one lump sum... No, add another 30%, and the treatment of all Aurors will be improved.

Wands destroyed in the Hesidian Islands... double reimbursement.

There are also necessary items such as healing potions, vitality tonics, and bone spirits, which can be bought in boxes, one box for each Auror.

Every department is short of money now, and they must prevent others from becoming jealous when they find out about this, and spend the fifteen thousand Galleons as soon as possible in exchange for visible combat power.

Scrimgeour planned the use of the money in his mind, and even looked at Kyle with a lot of pleasure.

No wonder others said that Dumbledore valued him.

Even the former Minister Fudge was recruited into the Ministry of Magic with high salary before he graduated.

At that time, many people criticized this decision, including Scrimgeour himself, but now he knows that he is really capable.

Scrimgeour refused to accept it. As an Auror, he was good at catching dark wizards and Death Eaters, but when it came to dealing with greedy goblins, he was not good at it.

If the Aurors were to deal with this incident, they would only be able to wrest a few thousand galleons from the goblin until they died. If they were handed over to Kyle, they could easily increase that number tenfold.

I have to say that although Fudge is incompetent as a minister, he has really good vision.

"Thank you so much for your hard work." Scrimgeour said in a gentle tone that he had never heard before: "Those greedy goblins, this is the first time I have seen them suffer such a big loss."

"It's okay, I'm not just here for the Ministry of Magic." Kyle waved his hand, "Besides, this matter isn't over yet."

"Isn't it over?" Scrimgeour was stunned for a moment, "Didn't they already agree to pay?"

"I agreed, but that doesn't mean I'll give it to you right away." Kyle said.

"You mean, the goblin wants to break his promise?" Scrimgeour frowned.

When he thought about the fifteen thousand galleons he was about to get, he suddenly became angry and glared like an angry lion.

"It's not a big deal if I break my promise, but I definitely won't pay the money honestly." Kyle said.

He saw all of Bogrod's expression just now. For a moment, he wanted to laugh.

To be able to laugh after suffering such a big loss...there must be something weird in this.

But Kyle doesn't care.

Dumbledore had to go back to Hogwarts. After Kyle and he separated at the entrance of the Magic Department, they went to Diagon Alley again and met an acquaintance in the Leaky Cauldron.

With big waves, red nails and a crocodile leather bag, Rita Skeeter is still so fashionable and unique among wizards.

"How about it?"

"Don't think about it." Kyle sat across from her. "The devil is giving up. There is a high probability that your article will not be published."

"Ha." Rita Skeeter said angrily: "I risked my life to sneak into Gringotts and got first-hand information. The Ministry of Magic refused to let it out, so I won't let it out?"

"You can also try." Kyle said unhurriedly: "But I kindly remind you that if the agreed thing is messed up, when Scrimgeour finds you, don't think he is cruel."

If the large sum of galleons he was about to receive were gone, with Scrimgeour's temper, he would probably be able to take down the culprit.

"Would I be afraid of a Scrimgeour?" Rita Skeeter pounded the table angrily.

She even dared to write tidbits about Dumbledore, yet she was afraid of a mere Auror office director.

Okay, I'm still scared.

Rita Skeeter quickly recognized the reality. After all, Dumbledore had a good temper. No matter what she wrote, even if she described him as an old lunatic with a abnormal brain, the other party would not be angry.

But Scrimgeour is not so generous, he can really kill someone.

Kyle glanced at her but didn't reveal it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not impossible if you want to."

"What's the meaning."

Instead of answering her directly, Kyle asked an unrelated question.

"What time does the Daily Prophet usually go on sale?"

Although Rita Skeeter was confused as to what this meant, she answered truthfully: "If it's not an urgent report... eight o'clock in the morning."

"In this case, you can deliver a copy of the newspaper to Gringotts at seven o'clock."

"Just one?" Rita Skeeter looked disgusted.

What is this, playing tricks on her?

"One hundred galleons." Kyle threw a heavy bag on the table, "You send the newspaper over and I'll pay you one hundred galleons, cash."

Kyle didn't even see what was happening. The bag on the table was gone.

"Is one serving enough? There are quite a few goblins in Gringotts."

Rita Skeeter showed a professional smile and said, "We have a set of professional equipment. There is no difference between printing one copy and a hundred copies. Don't worry, this is considered a friendly gift and there is no extra charge."

"Then one copy for each goblin." Kyle said, "Remember, give it only to Gringotts an hour in advance. Remember to remind them that this is the newspaper for that day."

"No problem, I'll deliver it myself." Rita Skeeter promised, patting her chest.

The two touched butterbeer and left.

"How evil have those goblins done to meet you?" Rita Skeeter couldn't help but say before going out.

As one of the former victims, she knew the methods of the wizard in front of her better than anyone else.

I think back then, she repeatedly jumped between famous wizards and reported their tidbits and gossips, but she was unscathed. However, she fell into a big trap at the hands of Kyle, a student who had not yet graduated.

Even she is like this, how can those goblins have it easy?

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm helping them." Kyle glanced at her and corrected.

"Okay, since you gave me the money, you can get whatever you say." Rita Skeeter got into the fireplace and left.

Kyle went to his shop in Diagon Alley.

Because it was very close to Gringotts, there was some damage here, but it was not serious. Dobby repaired the shop immediately, and the items in the shop were intact.

For the first time, Kyle felt that Dobby was moving too fast... Why did Xiu do it so quickly? He was just showing off, maybe he could make another fortune.

It's a pity that Dobby has already repaired it, so it can't be dismantled anymore.

Before entering the store, Kyle deliberately turned his head and glanced at the closed door of Gringotts not far away.

The goblin's movements were equally fast. The big hole on the roof that was hit by the fire dragon had disappeared. From the outside, Gringotts was completely unchanged from before.

As for what it's like inside, what the goblins are up to, what their plans are...it doesn't matter.

As Kyle said before, he doesn't care what the goblin wants to do.
