Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 892: Confrontation, each party’s tactics

Is the Auror Office short of Galleons?

This is beyond doubt, especially as the conflict between them and the Death Eaters becomes more intense. Whether it is recruiting new Aurors, buying potions, or distributing pensions, a lot of Galleons are needed.

But the Ministry is also short of Galleons. Almost every department is asking the Minister for money, and the Auror Office is only allocated a little, which is not enough.

This is also the reason why Scrimgeour turned down all the work and insisted on listening to them arguing for several hours.

Making money is for work, not shabby.

Half of 30,000 Galleons is 15,000 Galleons. Just sitting for a few hours and cooperating can get so much money. No director would refuse it.

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

Scrimgeour straightened up and continued to play his role before the matter was over.

15,000 Galleons, this number is much more than he thought, it's a big profit.

As for the nominal use of this money... No one cares.

Diagon Alley did suffer a certain degree of damage, but this is the magic world, and Dragon Flame is not Fiendfyre. A simple repair spell can solve most problems, so there is no need to worry about it.

The goblins also knew this, but they still paid.

Because this was just an excuse. The Ministry of Magic needed Galleons, and the goblins needed to settle the theft as soon as possible to restore Gringotts' reputation. Both sides knew it.

However, the process did not need to be so complicated, but Kyle took the initiative to take on this job, which increased the price they needed to pay several times.

Thirty thousand Galleons... Bogrod's heart was bleeding. According to the plan they discussed when they came, this was already the bottom line of the bottom line, and it was impossible to add a single 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 irresponsible, and he put big hats on the goblins' faces.

If it continued, even it would doubt whether the goblins really wanted to rebel by raising fire dragons.

I'm tired, so let it be.

"Very good, now that we've finished talking about official business, it's time to talk about personal matters." Kyle took another sip of butterbeer, "Isn't it time for you to give an explanation for the 6,300 Galleons that were stolen from me?"

Not over yet? !

Bogrod's heart, which had just been put at ease, was lifted up 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, even water would be fine, but no matter how it hinted, the Auror seemed to have seen nothing and ignored it.

Damn wizard!

"Nothing to do with it?" Kyle sneered, "If I was robbed after leaving Gringotts, I would never say anything, but I was robbed in your vault. If it weren't for that goblin's face, would I let my guard down?

"He lost a lot of Galleons when he robbed me, you can go check it out! "

Bogrod stared.

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

"You don't mean to say that I threw those Galleons, do you?" Kyle glanced at Bogrod, "Do you think I have the time? Or do you think the Death Eaters are so easy to talk to that they will help me, an enemy?"

Bogrod moved his mouth but didn't speak.

"So don't say those useless things. This is caused by your negligence... Compensation, medical expenses, mental compensation, 9,000 Galleons, not a single Knut can be less!

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

"Well... you Gringotts are unlikely to win." Scrimgeour stood up and said something fair.

"Our Aurors have carefully checked Kyle's things and did not find the Galleons he just took away."

Kyle just helped the Aurors get such a large sum of money, and he was also willing to provide a little help.

Of course, Scrimgeour did not lie. The Aurors really checked Kyle's lizard skin bag in front of Bogrod.

But they found nothing. Although there were some Galleons, they were too different from the number of six thousand. It was basically certain that the two were not the same.

Did Bogrod believe it?

He might believe it, but he didn't want to pay.

So the two sides started a new round of wrangling.

But this time, Kyle had a new helper.

Scrimgeour represented the Ministry of Magic and would say a fair word from time to time, and Dumbledore would occasionally interject.

One against three, Bogrod's pressure doubled. He couldn't stand it for less than two hours and left the Auror's office under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Kyle rubbed his throat and turned his head 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 the Aurors in public. As the vice-president, I naturally have to visit the outstanding graduates on behalf of Hogwarts."

"Vice-president?" Kyle blinked.

"Ah, the school directors don't want me to leave the school completely." Dumbledore explained, "So after discussing with Minerva, they hired me again.

"But Severus may not be very happy. He was supposed to be the vice-president, and I took his place."

"I see." Kyle nodded.

He understood the school directors' thoughts very well. After all, Hogwarts with Dumbledore was the safest, and it was normal not to want to let him go.

The current situation is equivalent to Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall switching positions.

"You just said you were a passerby." Kyle asked, "Aren't you afraid that the goblin will cause trouble for you after knowing the truth?"

"The contract will not take effect until tomorrow." Dumbledore blinked and continued, "But later I heard that you left St. Mungo's."

"There was a little... episode." Kyle was a little embarrassed.

The goblin went to St. Mungo's with him. From the way to the time of bandaging, they had been discussing the issue of compensation.

The voices were a little loud, and even on the sixth floor, their voices could be heard in the hall. Dean Sassia, who couldn't bear it any more, drove them out.

They couldn't quarrel on the street, Kyle didn't care, but the goblin's appearance... if ten Muggles saw it, nine out of ten would call the police.

In order not to cause trouble for the people of the accidental event reversal team, they simply moved the battlefield to the Ministry of Magic.

"Did your Galleons really get taken away?" Dumbledore looked at Kyle and asked meaningfully.

"Of course." Kyle said without hesitation.

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

If the Death Eaters really robbed Kyle of 6,000 Galleons, he didn't think they could leave so easily.

The few people waited for a while, but Bogrod hadn't come back yet.

"That goblin, didn't run away?" Kyle frowned and muttered.

"No." Dumbledore said.

He also understood that Kyle was now the full representative of the Ministry of Magic. While helping them, he was also taking advantage of himself.

If the people in Gringotts really wanted to solve this incident, they had to get Kyle's nod, which was also the Ministry of Magic's tacit agreement...

Benefit fee?

Probably.

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

Bogrod walked in from outside with his short legs, and before Kyle could speak, he spoke first: "Six thousand five hundred Galleons, the extra is Gringotts's thank you for helping to drive away the Death Eaters."

It did not mention the medical expenses and the so-called mental damages.

The goblins did want to spend money to suppress this matter, but it did not mean that they were willing to rub their brains on the ground again.

One time is enough, we can't keep doing it.

"No problem." Kyle didn't say anything nonsense and nodded and agreed.

If he guessed correctly, Bogrod should have contacted the goblins of Gringotts just now.

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

If you make less money, then make less money.

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

"If I don't see the money, I'm worried that my colleagues in the Ministry of Magic will not be in the mood to work. "

"You, you..." Bogrod stared at Kyle, but soon withered again.

"We will do it as soon as possible..." It sighed, "You know, 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 sent as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Kyle tried to immerse himself in the large amount of Galleons, and this time he was surprisingly easy to talk to.

Bogrod couldn't help but curl his lips, but soon recovered, as if nothing had happened.

After that, there were some dispensable details, which didn't take long.

After reaching an agreement, Bogrod turned around and ran out of the office as if he was escaping, fearing that he would be angry to death here if he was a little slower.

It was really tired.

Not only was his heart tired, but his throat was also tired.

Everyone said that goblins were greedy and had no bottom line, but in its opinion, this wizard was the most greedy. His appetite was bigger than that of a horned camel beast, and his heart was more poisonous than that of a leopard.

Dealing with him, every minute and every second is torture.

Bogrod also regretted a little. If they had not tried to push the responsibility onto the wizard in the vault before, would these things have happened?

But the problem is that they didn't know that this would happen at the time. They habitually wanted to get Gringotts out of this storm and find someone to bear the losses.

It would be better if those Aurors came a little later.

Bogrod sighed, quickened his pace again, and soon disappeared in the corridor.

...

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

The monthly salary of ordinary employees in the Ministry of Magic is only about 60 Galleons... 15,000 Galleons, which is really a huge sum of money.

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

The wand that was damaged in the Hesperidian Islands... double reimbursement.

There are also necessary items such as healing potions, vitality tonics, and bone spirits. Buy them in boxes, one box for each Auror.

Now every department is short of money, and we must prevent them from getting jealous after knowing this. Spend the 15,000 Galleons as soon as possible and exchange them for visible combat power.

Scrimgeour planned the use of the money in his mind, and he looked at Kyle with a better eye.

No wonder others said that Dumbledore valued him.

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

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

Scrimgeour had 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, it was not his forte.

If the Aurors were to handle this incident, at most they could only deduct a few thousand Galleons from the goblins. If it was handed over to Kyle, he could easily increase this number tenfold.

It must be said that although Fudge was incompetent as a minister, he had a really good vision.

"Thank you 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've seen them suffer such a big loss."

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

"Not over yet?" Scrimgeour was stunned for a moment, "Didn't they agree to pay?"

"Yes, but that doesn't mean they will give it to you immediately." Kyle said.

"You mean, the goblins want to break their promise?" Scrimgeour frowned.

When he thought about the 15,000 Galleons that were about to fly away, his anger rose up all of a sudden, staring with his eyes, looking like an angry lion.

"It's not that they will break their promise, but they will definitely not pay the money honestly." Kyle said.

He saw all the expressions on Bogrod's face just now, and for a moment, it wanted to laugh.

Suffering such a big loss and still being able to laugh... There must be something strange about it.

But Kyle didn't care.

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

With big waves, red nails, and crocodile leather bags, Rita Skeeter was still so fashionable and unique among wizards.

"How is it?"

"Don't think about it." Kyle sat opposite her, "The goblin gave in, and your article is unlikely to be published."

"Ha." Rita Skeeter said angrily, "I risked my life to sneak into Gringotts and got first-hand information. If the Ministry of Magic doesn't allow it to be published, I won't publish it?"

"You can try it too." Kyle said slowly, "But I kindly remind you that if the agreed thing goes wrong, when Scrimgeour finds you, don't think he is cruel."

If the large amount of Galleons that is about to be obtained is gone, with Scrimgeour's temper, he probably can tear down the culprit.

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

She even dared to write gossip about Dumbledore, and she was afraid of a mere Auror Office Director.

Well, she was still afraid.

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 disordered mind, he would not be angry.

But Scrimgeour was not so generous. He could really kill her.

Kyle glanced at her, but did not expose her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you want to publish it, it's not impossible."

"What do you mean."

Kyle did not answer her directly, but asked an irrelevant question.

"At what time does the Daily Prophet usually go on sale."

Although Rita Skeeter was puzzled by what this meant, she still answered truthfully: "If it is not an urgent report... 8 o'clock in the morning."

"Then, at 7 o'clock, you can deliver a copy of the newspaper to Gringotts."

"Just one copy?" Rita Skeeter looked disgusted.

What is this, playing tricks on her?

"One hundred Galleons." Kyle threw a heavy bag on the table. "Send the newspaper over, and I'll pay you one hundred Galleons, pay now."

Kyle didn't even see what happened, and the bag on the table disappeared.

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

Rita Skeeter smiled at her position, "We have a set of professional equipment, and there is no difference between printing one copy and one hundred copies. Don't worry, this is a friendly gift, and no extra money will be charged."

"Then give one copy to each goblin." Kyle said, "Remember, send it to Gringotts one hour in advance, and remember to remind them that this is the newspaper of the day."

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

The two clinked butterbeers and left separately.

"How evil did those goblins do to actually run into you." Rita Skeeter couldn't help but say before leaving.

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

Back then, she jumped back and forth between various well-known wizards, reporting their gossip and rumors, and was unscathed. In the end, she fell into the hands of Kyle, a student who had not yet graduated.

Even she was in this situation, how could the goblins be better?

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

"Okay, since you paid, what you say is what it is." Rita Skeeter went into the fireplace and left.

Kyle went to his shop in Diagon Alley.

Because it was close to Gringotts, it was also affected, but not seriously. Dobby repaired the shop as soon as possible, and the things in the shop were intact.

For the first time, Kyle felt that Dobby was too quick... Why did he repair it so quickly? Just leave it there. Maybe he can make some money.

Unfortunately, Dobby had already repaired it. He couldn't tear it down again.

Before entering the store, Kyle deliberately turned his head to look at Gringotts, which was closed not far away.

The goblin was also very quick. 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 looked like inside, what the goblin was busy with, and what plans he had... It didn't matter.

As Kyle said before, he didn't care what the goblin was up to.
