Harry Potter and the Old Ones

After the vault door was opened, "Gilderoy Lockhart" stayed in the Gringotts underground vault for nearly a day and night, and not even one-third of his loan agreement had been moved--

The goblins of Gringotts were taking out the gold coins one by one from the vault, checking the gold coins one by one, and then placing them one by one on the rock platform outside the vault in piles of a thousand. ——

Now there are only fifty piles in total, which is fifty thousand gold coins. This only accounts for 10% of the gold galleons Tiera needs. Tiera still has 90% of the gold coins that need to be moved out.

These goblins seem to be deliberately stalling for time. The first three goblins, Gray, Griphook and Senior Director Polly, have returned to the ground. Now there are three goblins counting golden galleons for "Gilderoy Lockhart" The other three goblins that were replaced an hour ago——

These three goblins are already the seventh wave of goblins coming out of Gringotts. Only three come down at a time, so Tiera's loan is cleared very slowly, while "Gilderoy Lockhart" remains unchanged. Underground vault.

The goblins of Gringotts seemed to want to use this delaying method to persuade "Gilderoy Lockhart" to quit, or to get out of here with the fifty thousand dollars——

After all, this is really not a place for people to stay.

If "Gilderoy Lockhart" was a "person", he should have given up on the difficulty at this time. No one, not even the goblins, can endure the high temperature of the underground magma for a long time——

But alas, "Gilderoy Lockhart" is not human.

Even if "Gilderoy Lockhart" is allowed to soak in the magma below, it will only make "Gilderoy Lockhart" feel like he is soaking in a hot spring.

So even if he has been here for nearly twenty-four hours, even if the goblins are deliberately stalling for time, even if he will continue to stay here for another nine twenty-four hours, he will supervise the goblins of Gringotts. The gold galleons for this loan were stacked one by one on the platform outside the vault.

Anyway, it’s not her who’s working, nor she’s the one who’s tired. Even Tiera doesn’t feel bored.

…

At the same time, Tiera and Dumbledore's trip to Paris seemed to be coming to an end. The cruise ship they were on left the Thames estuary in London, passed through the Strait of Dover, the English Channel, and arrived at the estuary of the Seine River. After a simple docking inspection, they officially entered France.

"It seems that the speed of French security inspections is not much slower than the speed of their surrender." Dumbledore said humorously.

"Hehehehe..." Tiera smiled happily, like a little grandson who was amused by his grandfather.

"Oh, do you know this history?" Dumbledore asked in surprise.

"Yes, no one can capture Paris before France surrenders." Tiera said, "During the Second Time War, the German army drove tanks to bypass the Maginot Line. Forty-two days later, the French They surrendered under the leadership of former national hero Pétain."

Dumbledore seemed surprised.

"Professor Dumbledore, please don't forget that I am a child of a Chinese Muggle family." Tiera said, "It is a Chinese tradition to read history and learn lessons from history."

"Oh... yes... yes..." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Look Tiera, don't always think about the Holy Son, don't always think about the 'Hanged Man', and don't always think about man-made things. Life form, you are you, Tiera, you are from China, you are a complete and independent person, those so-called artificial life forms are just a means for the Tarot Society to control you and make you serve them. .”

"Well, yes, thank you, Professor Dumbledore." Tiera smiled and said, "I am me, the unique me. I am neither an artificial life form nor a copy of Grindelwald."

Tiera seemed to be convinced by Dumbledore, and gradually showed the innocence and liveliness that a little boy should have——

"Ah, Professor Dumbledore, can you tell us more about your youth?" Tiera said with a Conan look on her face, "I want to hear more historical stories."

"What do you want to hear?" Dumbledore asked with a smile, and then raised his hand.

A waiter stopped in front of the table where Dumbledore and Tiera were sitting——

"Do you need anything, sir?" the waiter asked.

Tiera and Dumbledore are currently sitting in the tea restaurant on the bridge of the cruise ship. While enjoying this delicious afternoon tea and meals, they feel the salty sea breeze blowing from the window and the warm scent on their bodies. Sunlight.

"Yes, good afternoon, young man." Dumbledore said with a smile, "We need to add another serving of your Ceylon black tea without milk or sugar, four Portuguese egg tarts, and a piece of tirami. Su...do you need anything else? Tiera."

"No... these are very good..." Tiera smiled politely, then took out a camera from her bag and said, "If possible, I hope you can help take a photo..."

"No problem." The waiter carefully took the camera and said——

"This is Professor Dumbledore and I's first trip." Tiera said, smiling innocently and cutely. "After all, you will die soon, and I want to leave something to commemorate."

Dumbledore: ...

"I just said that I will die eventually, not soon..." Dumbledore stretched out his hand to rub the bulging veins on his forehead, and then sighed helplessly, "Well... sometimes I I really can’t tell who you are…forget it, come on, let’s take a photo together.”

Dumbledore finally said helplessly, and then waved to Tiera, who came to Dumbledore's side.

"Three, two, one -"

The waiter shouted——

When he shouted "one", Tiera suddenly leaned towards Dumbledore, gestured "yeah" with one hand, wrapped the other hand around one of Dumbledore's arms, and put her face close to Dumbledore's. Bullido's shoulders.

Flashbulbs flashed.

"Thank you." Tiera said, taking the camera from the waiter.

"You took this photo...not just for commemoration, right?" Dumbledore was keenly aware of some unknown meaning behind Tiera's unusual behavior.

"Of course it's for commemoration." Tiera narrowed her eyes and smiled and said, "Can I still sell this photo for money?"

After thinking about it, Dumbledore felt that it was indeed impossible.

Of course Tiera cannot sell it out. Although he is a villain, he is a villain with a bottom line——

But I can make another photo album of all the photos of me and Dumbledore and send it to Gellert Grindelwald.

I hope he likes me, after all I am Dumbledore's favorite student now.

It's just killing people and killing people, Tiera has already become perfect with practice——

I hope that this first-generation Dark Lord with extremely strong mental power can remember me deeply, deeply, and even hold a strong grudge, hate me, and be jealous of me, so strong that——

Strong enough to form a special bond.

The bond of the God Becoming Ceremony requires not only friendship, family affection, or love, but also a bond mixed with some negative emotions such as hatred.

Otherwise, why is Tiera always teasing cats and dogs like this? No, no, no, no, no, no, no one thinks he is in debt, right?
