The Ministry of Magic, where wizards come and go and are noisy with people, fell into a deathly silence at the moment. When Arthur appeared, the people standing in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic all turned their heads, stared at his face, and said Not sent.
Arthur scratched his head in surprise, and he found that all the people present were pure blood wizards.
Except for the pure-blood families whose lineage has been severed, all the others were present.
Arthur even saw Ollivander, the wand maker—although strictly speaking, he was a half-blood wizard, but in the Ollivander family, which is famous for making wands, he was naturally the most qualified person to attend .
Lucius Malfoy, who was standing at the front, turned slowly, his face was as gloomy as iron.
"Our Mr. Weasley has finally arrived." Lucius snorted and shook his head, "Perhaps you are the only pure blood who will not be affected."
"I never think bloodline can determine a wizard." Arthur replied tit for tat.
"Idiot." Lucius sneered and shook his head, but in an instant, his face darkened again.
Even if they overwhelmed the Weasleys in a war of words, what was the use?
The new Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was sitting in his seat. This bureaucrat, who was still high-spirited some time ago, now has an ugly face and sweating profusely.
After a stalemate for a while, Connelly finally lowered his head. His spine seemed to have been taken away, and his body gradually became shorter.
"Mr. Weasley, Mr. Malfoy, fellow pure-blood wizards...I'm afraid we have to face a reality."
The Minister of Magic's voice became hoarse and low, "The gold Galleons in our hands are... worthless."
Even if they vaguely learned about this matter through their own channels, when the Minister of Magic admitted this fact, all the pure-blood family wizards present felt extremely absurd.
Why are gold galleons worthless?
"Why?" cried Arthur Weasley.
"Mr. Weasley, you may not know that this conspiracy against King Gallon was fully launched a few months ago."
Cornelius Fudge said helplessly, "At first it was just Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley...but because of some people's compromise, counterfeit Galleons began to flow into the market in large numbers—"
"Please be careful with your words, Mr. Fudge." Lucius Malfoy paused his cane, his face also looking a little pale, "We are also victims."
"Okay." Fudge sighed and shook his head, "In any case, the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts are trying their best to control the market so as not to cause it to collapse completely, but the people who planned this conspiracy are clearly prepared, and their forged The gold galleons are making us unable to resist, and prices are skyrocketing. In Muggle terms, what is it called?"
"Inflation." Arthur said subconsciously.
"Whether he expands or explodes." Fudge's face turned pale. "At first we could resist it, but soon, all the wizards were complaining about it, whether they were purebloods or hemps. They complained that the price of butterbeer was so expensive. I can’t afford to drink it, I can’t afford to ride on the Cavalier Bus... A cup of butterbeer costs more than ten galleons, and the price is going up crazily every minute. - Damn it!"
This may be the most unlucky Minister of Magic in all ages, finally unable to bear the pain and grief in his heart, he clenched his fist and slammed it on the table in front of him.
Soon, he was leaning weakly on the high-back chair.
"Gringotts has been disbanded. There is too much money and it is worthless. These damn goblins have escaped from Diagon Alley since the night before yesterday."
If this Gringotts came to help, the Ministry of Magic would be completely crap, but it was a pity that it couldn't come.
Fudge tried frantically to check the status of Gringotts, but Gringotts was nowhere to be found.
Cornelius Fudge smiled bitterly and looked at the pale-faced pure-blood wizards in front of him: "The Ministry of Magic has a lot of gold Galleons, but it is no longer money."
"Is there no way to control it anymore? I mean, it's hard for me to feel this sense of oppression..." Arthur said subconsciously.
"If you want to try, I can give you a bag of Galleons. You can go to Diagon Alley now and see what you can buy." Lucius stomped his cane ferociously, with a fierce expression Watching Arthur.
Compared with the loss of the Malfoy family's wealth for hundreds of years, Lucius now has more fear in his heart.
He was obviously betrayed by Li Lin, but Lucius didn't dare to have the slightest resentment in his heart. Since he came back in disguise as Voldemort and released the Dark Mark, he was already tied to Grindelwald's ship.
It was precisely because he participated in part of the operation that Lucius knew that most of this economic war actually had nothing to do with Grindelwald, but was planned by the man who called himself Aatrox.
The current situation is even crueler than that of Voldemort's time. At that time, Voldemort had nothing to do with murder, but at least he would not knock down the status of the pure-blood family.
When a pure-blood family loses their proud property, how can they still be called noble?
"In short, in any case, we have been exhausted by Grindelwald's calculations... The news of the collapse of the Gringotts system cannot be concealed, the prestige of the Ministry of Magic has been discredited, and I will sign the resignation order the day after tomorrow .”
Cornelius Fudge got up staggeringly, and disappeared into the magic elevator with a bleak back.
"So, what should we do now?" A pure-blood wizard asked blankly.
Lucius turned and left without saying a word, he wanted to write to Li Lin immediately.
He firmly believes that as Grindelwald's running dog, he must still be of value.
......
This night, the turmoil in the magic world is destined to make many people sleepless. A large number of wizards poured into Diagon Alley. They only wanted to go to Gringotts to withdraw their own money. All of Diagon Alley is under martial law.
The wizards hired by Sirius' secret organization became temporary maintainers of order. They barely took over the deserted Gringotts, and took out the money hidden in it according to the numbers of those wizards.
But sadly, even if they got their money, they had nothing to spend it on.
Whether it is Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, or Hogsmeade, the price of goods has soared to an unimaginable level in the turmoil. In just three hours, many wizards found out in despair that they had accumulated decades of money. All his net worth is actually only enough to afford a glass of butter beer.
The precious gold Galleons of the past are as cheap as dirt.
On this night, countless wizards killed each other in despair and grief.
However, for Hogwarts freshmen, this is just a story that happened in a distant world.
A new day has come and it's time for them to go to class.

In the morning, Li Lin's window was crowded with all kinds of owls.
The first Defense Against the Dark Arts class was in the afternoon, and he had a whole morning to fish for.
Master Li, who aspired to become a salary worm in Hogwarts, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He opened the window and brought the owls in one by one.
The first letter was from Sirius, whose owl was a gray screech owl.
Li Lin pulled out the letterhead, and the magic parchment opened automatically to reveal the text.
The old man talked nonsense. The main content was that he spent the fake Galleons according to Li Lin's order as scheduled. Although he successfully completed the task, he felt extremely uneasy and guilty in his heart. He felt sorry for Dumbledore's teaching and Hogwarts. The cultivation of... In short, it is a bunch of nonsense for building an archway for yourself.
As a professional psychological counselor, Master Li would naturally not ignore Sirius' psychological problems.
He took out his shorthand quill and wrote a lot of political nonsense, the main content of which was to praise Dumbledore and reassure Sirius to build it.
Our Hogwarts is so strong, how can we be brought down by people like you, right?Everything we do is to resurrect the decadent magic world.
After sending the gray horned owl away, Li Lin took out the second letter.
It was a letter from Ollivander.
In addition to crying, making trouble and hanging himself, he begged Li Lin in the letter not to cancel the wand fair.
Li Lin sneered, laughing at Ollivander's naivety.
"Haven't you seen the matter clearly? The number of days has changed, and the artifacts are easier to buy. It is a natural principle to return them to virtuous people. It is not for power, but for destiny. A few people who don't know life and death Little thief, you also want to go against the sky and fight against the general trend of the world?"
Ollivander seemed to have guessed that Li Lin would say that a long time ago, so he pleaded bitterly in the letter and flattered him to the fullest.
It's a pity that it's just flattery and has no benefit at all.
"If it wasn't for the great cause, maybe I would agree to you, but now... I'm sorry."
Li Lin shook his head lightly, his eyes no longer contained any emotion, and the shorthand quill quickly wrote on the letter paper.
"So for the sake of my happy life after Si Chen falls in love with me...you guys who stubbornly resist, just die in despair!"
After stuffing the letter paper full of comments from the Second Secondary School to the owl, and slapping it out of the window, Li Lin took out the next letter.
This is a letter from Lucius.
Compared with the previous two letters that didn't know good or bad, Lucius' tone was very humble and sensible. He didn't even mention the fact that he was sold by Li Lin, but he wholeheartedly guaranteed that he would fight for the Dark Lord Grindelwald. Throwing his head and blood, not only himself, but even his wife and son have a black heart towards Grindelwald.
In short, I implore Li Lingao to raise his hand and accept Malfoy's family as dogs.
"Tsk."
Li Lin smacked his mouth a little unhappily, feeling that bullying such an opponent would be of no sense of accomplishment.
After thinking for a short time, Li Lin frowned, and the plan came to his mind.
"Send all the Galleons you have on hand to the Bokin Bork store and exchange them for gold pounds."
The economic crisis due to inflation has begun to spread from the United Kingdom to the magic circles of various countries, and at this time the second step of the plan, taking the opportunity to induce a run on a strong foreign currency, can also be implemented.
Since the Malfoy family wanted to be the first to betray their country, then give him this chance.
He casually rolled up the letter and stuffed it into the owl. After three minutes of enthusiasm, Master Li began to get bored.
Those owls who did not receive any reply were still unwilling to go back, so Mr. Li, who was good at thinking about others, grabbed an owl by its neck and asked the house elf who arrived in time to stew it.
The rest of the round-faced fat chickens fled in all directions, fearing to be the next lucky one.
In the afternoon, Li Lin's first class was for the second-year students of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.
Stepping into the classroom, Li Lin stepped onto the podium.
His eyes scanned the classroom.
Pausing slightly as he passed the Hufflepuff students, he gasped.
Drink, this little boy is so handsome, he is almost as handsome as my father.
Looking at the name in his textbook again, oh, it turned out to be Cedric, that's okay.
Then he noticed a few students running hurriedly outside the door. At first glance, they were Gryffindor's thorns.
Li Lin, who was determined to show his prestige, took two quick steps and walked to the door first, and shook his hands heavily——
boom!
The classroom door closed, and the sound spread along the corridor.
If you're late for the first day of the new semester, stay outside!
Li Lin thought angrily as he closed the door and returned to the podium.
The so-called three fires for a new official to take office, he needs to give these disobedient students some blows.
So first...
Li Lin pointed at the Weasley twins and said sharply, "Two students! It's class now, please get your hands up from under the desk!"
The Weasley twins froze for a moment, and looked at each other and took their hands up from under the desk.
"Anyway, let's start class now, everyone, take out your textbooks."
"Given the latest turmoil in the wizarding world, these textbooks are of little use."
All the students looked up in confusion as Li Lin picked up the magic chalk and pressed it heavily on the blackboard.
Li Lin suddenly remembered that the translation module could not help him write English, so he took advantage of the situation and threw away the chalk.
"Maybe you don't know, the wizarding world has become a mess now."
Li Lin casually threw the magic chalk at the Weasley twins who were whispering, "All order has collapsed, the prestige of the Ministry of Magic has been discredited, and Gallon is not as good as a stone by the side of the road."
"What is he talking about?" George and Fred looked at each other suspiciously. "Is this related to the course? What's the point?"
"The meaning is that you are all bankrupt, and you may not be able to come to school again next semester." Li Lin said honestly, "When you go home, you may see dilapidated houses with bare walls, or when you open the door, your parents His body is hanging from the beams to dry into bacon."
"Wow--"
A timid girl was frightened by Li Lin's description and cried.
Li Lin got up to pull her braids, and swung her ponytails like a windmill, scaring the little girl so much that she forgot to shed tears.
Li Lin took the opportunity to change the topic: "So this is the essence of black magic. You not only have to face vicious spells, but also always beware of the art of language."
The students who had been deceived nodded blankly. A good student like Cedric, who was both good at character and academic, actually felt that what Li Lin said made sense.
"In short, to defend against black magic, you must first understand it and master it."
Li Lin continued to talk nonsense.
"If you want to defeat the dark wizard, there is only one way, and that is to be even more ungrateful than him."
Li Lin motioned the Weasley twins to stand in front of the podium: "For example, I am now dueling with two Mr. Weasleys."
"really?"
"it is true?"
Fred and George, who thought they had found a chance for revenge, took out the big dung eggs from their pockets with excitement.
Li Lin raised his head calmly, with a surprised look on his face: "Mr. Snape? Do you have anything to do with me?"
