Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Chapter 247 Ambush

After a brief stop on the Thames River, the cruise ship bound for Paris finally set off.

Because Tiera and Dumbledore had to complete the entire journey from London to Paris, which required two days of sailing, they rented a two-room suite directly on the cruise ship. Dumbledore lived in the outer room, and Tiera Living in it is euphemistically called protection.

After tidying up the room, Tiera was ready to be interrogated by Dumbledore for two days, but——

No.

Dumbledore was like an ordinary grandfather traveling with his grandson, asking Tiera to eat this, eat that, or look at this or that——

Dumbledore even acted more active than himself, like an old naughty boy who was over a hundred years old.

The conversations between them always revolved around Tiera's hobbies, studies, relationships, the surrounding scenery, the desserts on the boat, and what Dumbledore had seen during his last trip to Paris.

Just as Tiera was nervously guarding against Dumbledore's questioning——

Tiera was suddenly stunned, and then sneered in her heart.

…

Meanwhile, Gringotts.

"Gilderoy Lockhart" followed a short goblin down to the underground of Gringotts alone.

Perhaps it was because Dolores Umbridge's extremely disgusting negotiation skills left a deep psychological shadow on the goblins of Gringotts. She was ordered by the goblins to stay in the hall of Gringotts. Forbid this evil woman to set foot on their sacred grounds or the loan will be cancelled.

Obviously, Umbridge was dissatisfied with the goblins' demands and behavior, but considering the overall situation, she did not make a fuss, but tolerated it for the time being. She was just thinking about how to torture these dirty goblins in the future. Dirty little creatures.

"Mr. Grey." After stepping onto the cart, "Gilderoy Lockhart" suddenly called out the name of the goblin who was leading him, and then asked, "Don't we need to sign a loan agreement first?"

"Oh... this..." the goblin named Gray replied hesitantly, "this is... I'm not in a hurry. After you return to the ground... it will be too late to sign again."

"After all, we trust Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart's credibility," Gray added.

"Gilderoy Lockhart" didn't ask any more questions, as if he had been persuaded, and just glanced at the ground thoughtfully.

The moment she stepped into Gringotts, "Gilderoy Lockhart", or Tiera, noticed Sirius's location through the flesh and blood she had shed -

Three hundred and forty-eight meters deep beneath his feet.

After that, Tiera directly switched to Sirius Black's perspective and saw Kingsley Shacklebolt, Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody, Professor McGonagall, Severus Snape and Filiu Sfrivy is a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

After reading through Sirius's memories during this period, Tiera almost understood what they were going to do——

Two weeks ago, Sirius had already met with Dumbledore and other cadres of the Order of the Phoenix. Based on the little information Sirius could reveal and the results of Snape's investigation of "Gilderoy Lockhart", the package Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix, including Dumbledore, has basically reached a conclusion:

"Gilderoy Lockhart" and Tiera both belong to a secret organization. They don't know what this secret organization is called or what its purpose is, but this does not prevent them from giving this secret organization a name——

secret party.

Tiera:......

A certain Dragon Clan fan said that he liked it very much. This wave is a dream collaboration.

All in all, in their understanding, Tiera is probably an artificial life form refined by Gellert Grindelwald, and it is also a smoke bomb launched by the "Secret Party" to the stage. It is the "Secret Party" that inserts A nail in Hogwarts, used to gather intelligence and attract attention to conceal their true purpose.

"Gilderoy Lockhart" is the operator sent by the "Secret Party" to monitor, control and brainwash Tiera.

The "secret party" has a clear division of labor and cruel methods. This inhumane organization has only two people exposed so far——

But even these two people have already gained great influence in the entire British wizarding world.

Therefore, after Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall failed to investigate this secret organization, Dumbledore made a decisive decision and decided to remove the two members of this organization who had been exposed while the situation was still under control——

That is to capture or kill "Gilderoy Lockhart" alive, let Dumbledore himself adopt Tiera, and help this child, who is suspected to be Grindelwald's artificial life form, to escape from the control of the organization.

They decided to choose the location of the ambush inside Gringotts——

This is the safest vault in the world. Apparition and any flying magic cannot be used inside. Anyone who is besieged here has no other choice but to fight his way out.

After learning that "Gilderoy Lockhart" wanted to borrow half a million gold galleons from Gringotts, Dumbledore immediately contacted Gringotts' senior management through Filius Flitwick, hoping to borrow money from Gringotts 's underground vault ambush "Gilderoy Lockhart".

Since Gringotts itself did not want to lend the money, and because of Dumbledore's reputation, the top management of Gringotts readily agreed to Dumbledore's request.

This is why "Gilderoy Lockhart" was not asked to sign a loan agreement before entering the Gringotts vault——

Because Gringotts didn't think that "Gilderoy Lockhart" could get money from the vault inside, there was no need to bother.

"Haha, he built a tomb for himself with greed." Sirius Black said, hiding in the shadow of Gringotts' vault.

"Quiet, Sirius." Remus Lupine reminded him, standing behind Sirius.

At this time, there was a sound of metal friction coming from above their heads——

coming!

All the members of the Order of the Phoenix looked at each other and became quiet, even their breathing slowed down a lot——

In this deep and dark cave, any sound will be infinitely amplified, so Gringotts has set up a monitoring spell for strange sounds and a magic that cannot use the silencing spell.

"Mr. Lockhart! This way please!" Goblin Gray deliberately raised his voice and said, "Our treasury is over here!"

Then came the sound of kicking footsteps.

"I hope you have brought a large enough traceless extension box!" Potion Gray chattered to help cover up the breathing sounds of the Order members, "Half a million gold galleons is not a small amount and volume! The pile is quite large! It has to be as high as a hill... Of course it is a hill to us, but it may be just a hill to you..."

"Gilderoy Lockhart" who was following Goblin Gray smiled politely, waved his hands behind his back, pushed open a light door, and then quickly closed it -

A staff and a thick book appeared quietly in the darkness behind "Gilderoy Lockhart".

When Gilderoy Lockhart stepped into the designated position——

Goblin Gray immediately stepped back, and at the same time, several magic spells flew out at "Gilderoy Lockhart".
