Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Holidays are definitely a joyful thing to do, even after so many sad and shocking events, the next morning when everyone gets on the Hogwarts Express with their luggage for the return journey, Most of them had smiles on their faces.

of course there are exceptions.

Harry Potter.

Sitting in the carriage, he seemed a little gloomy, which was not surprising. What happened in succession some time ago had hit him too hard.

First Krum's death, then his friend Hagrid was seriously injured and nearly died, and Voldemort, who killed his parents, came back to life, and finally, a little physical discomfort created him now.

Everyone thought so, even his best friends Hermione and Ron.

However, what others don't know is that the reason why he is frowning today is entirely because he saw a person.

Autumn Zhang.

And the ring that Qiu Zhang wore on the ring finger of his right hand.

The ring was very beautiful, with a large diamond set on it, which reflected a gorgeous rainbow-like brilliance in the sunlight.

Harry had never seen a diamond with his own eyes before, so he didn't know whether the brilliance was due to the diamond's true color or to magic.

But the moment he saw the ring, Mike remembered that Cedric had privately asked Mike to prepare a ring for him before, and said that he would use that ring to get engaged to Qiu Zhang.

‘Cedric is this a success? ’

Harry kept asking himself this question in his mind.

While it's not a good thing to indulge in love at such a juncture as Voldemort's return, Harry couldn't stop himself from thinking about Qiu Zhang.

This made him very uncomfortable.

He desperately wanted to talk to someone, but it was so shameful that he didn't dare to speak to Hermione and Ron.

The only person he felt he could talk to was Mike.

Harry felt that after the night of the trio, the relationship between himself and Mike had sublimated, and he would never forget the joy and gratitude in his heart when Mike stretched out his hand and said he was going to take him home.

It's a pity that Mike has no plans to help the little kid solve his emotional problems now.

At this moment, he was sitting in a compartment isolated from the members of the mutual aid society with the Freemasonry members, discussing the respective tasks of each member during the holiday.

The first is Penello.

She's officially graduated from Hogwarts, though due to various things, she didn't do well on her Ultimate Wizarding Exam.

But none of that matters, because she's about to join the Los Santos Group as secretary to Mike, the group owner.

The first task her boss assigned her was to publish a bounty about the Slytherin Pendant Box. The reward amount was: 1,000 Gold Galleons for those who provided the information, and 10,000 Gold Galleons for those who directly submitted the Pendant Box.

Mike believes that unless the pendant box has fallen into the hands of a pure-blooded noble who is not bad money, as long as the owner of the pendant box sees this reward, he will definitely rush to give the pendant box to himself. .

After all, he gave too much money, enough to support a person's expenses for most of his life.

On the other side, Benjamin, Franklin, and others were also assigned tasks by Mike, that is, to accompany him to Gringotts to step on the spot.

Although Gringotts' defense system is not as flawless as others tout, Mike, as a professional robber, knows that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, and they must be perfect in their preparations, because what they are doing now Early preparations may well have saved their lives while the action was underway.

This was told to him by an old friend who was in a wheelchair in a previous life.

That old friend was the brains behind their team, and he planned almost all actions, so Mike had always believed in what he said.

When Mike arranged all the characters, the train finally arrived at the station.

The people in the carriage left the carriage one after another, deliberately dispersed to mix with the crowd who got off the train and walked to the platform.

Around them were densely packed with students anxious to go home and parents who came to pick up their children, and the platform was in chaos.

But in such a chaotic place, the members of the Freemasonry looked at the young man who was slowly walking down the train entrance as if they had telepathy to each other.

The blond boy seemed to have sensed their smiles, and smiled and nodded at them.

There were also smiles on the faces of the Freemasonry people, and they walked out of the station in all directions of the station platform without hesitation.

They all know that the first major mission since the founding of Freemasonry has begun!

...

The next day, Mike went to Gringotts with Benjamin and Franklin, who had only been reunited with their families for one night.

This time, their task was to record what they saw in Gringotts.

Therefore, a pair of black-rimmed glasses are placed on the bridge of Franklin and Benjamin's nose. This is Victor's latest research work. Its mirror is engraved with dense ancient runes, which gives it the ability to record images.

It is said that the reason why Victor studied such a prop was completely influenced by the 007 movie.

Of course, this is all irrelevant.

Mike walked at the forefront, Franklin and Benjamin were half a step behind Mike and walked into the tall white building in the center of Diagon Alley.

The first thing that catches everyone's eyes is the famous bronze door and the warning word on it that warns against Gringotts.

Franklin and Benjamin looked at each other and laughed in unison. The scene in front of them was indeed a bit funny. They came this time to prepare for the robbery of Gringotts.

Standing beside the bronze door were two goblin guards in scarlet and gold inlaid uniforms. The two of them looked at the group of three, and their eyes lit up at once.

Mike was visiting Gringotts today as the boss of the Los Santos Group, so he was more formal.

Franklin and Benjamin are now Mike's assistants, so today they are both dressed in neat suits and look like people.

Benjamin even deliberately combed his head back, which made him look a lot more mature, and indeed he looked like a social elite.

But Benjamin's hairstyle today made Franklin very unhappy.

He originally wanted to have a nice hairstyle, but unfortunately, Nig's hair is really bad. Franklin is Nig's Nig. He has become a quasi-bald head at a young age, so he can only shave it. A big head.

Franklin and Benjamin followed behind Mike, which made Mike look like a rich young man with bodyguards and housekeepers!

That's right, the two goblin guards used Benjamin and Franklin as stewards and bodyguards.

This really can't be blamed on them. There is no concept of business elites in the wizarding society at all, and the most existing ones are families.

Therefore, although Benjamin dressed himself according to the appearance of an elite white-collar worker, in the eyes of the guards, the identity that best matched his temperament was the housekeeper.

As for Franklin, with that bloated tendon that propped up the entire suit, coupled with his vicious and serious face, it would be impossible not to be recognized as an underworld force or a bodyguard.

"Dear guest! Are you here for business at Gringotts?"

A goblin guard smiled and asked the headed Mike, while the slightly taller guard behind it looked annoyed, as if he was worried about why he was robbed by his companions.

"I'll save the money."

Mike's expression is serious and concise, and his attitude can be said to be quite bad.

However, the goblin guard did not feel the slightest discomfort. On the contrary, the flattery on its face became stronger.

"Come with me, dear sir!"

After saying that, the goblin guard hurriedly opened the door for Mike and led a few people inside.

The scene in the Gringotts hall has not changed much from the last time Mike came. There are many counters densely distributed in the spacious hall, among which there are counters dedicated to identifying gems and antiquities, and there are also counters for pawning or redeeming pawns. , of course, the number of counters for depositing and depositing Gold Galleons is the largest.

Since Hogwarts has just been on holiday, there are many people who come to Gringotts to withdraw money and prepare to go to Diagon Alley to spend, so at this time there is a lot of people in Gringotts, and there are guests everywhere who come to do business. There were even long queues at some counters.

However, the queues were filled with mud legs, so distinguished guests like Mike naturally didn't have to endure such a long wait.

"Dear guest, may I ask your honorable name?"

"Mike, Mike Townley."

The goblin guard's eyeballs turned a few times, and finally the mottled pupils shrank, exclaiming:

"Are you Mr. Townley? The boss of the Los Santos Group?"

Mike nodded expressionlessly.

It's no surprise that this goblin knows his name, Mike. The Triwizard Tournament has brought him a huge reputation, and the Los Santos Group has expanded at an astonishing rate in the past two years.

If it were a normal person, maybe the reputation of the Triwizard Tournament champion would be even louder, but for a greedy creature like a goblin, reputation is nothing at all, and they only care about Jin Galleon.

"Oh! Please forgive my clumsiness to bring you here, Mr. Townley! Please come with me, this is the VIP counter!"

The goblin hunched her waist, as if she was kneeling on the ground.

The corner of Mike's mouth rose slightly when he heard the words, and a shiny golden Galleon shot towards it with a flick of his wrist.

"Reward you."

The gold coin was thrown a little by Mike, but when the goblin saw it, he flew over and grabbed the gold coin in his hand without hesitation. Even Mike was a little stunned by his movements.

"Thank you! Generous guest! You are the kindest person in the world!"

The goblin continued with her compliments, as if wishing for more.

It's a pity that Mike didn't intend to waste time on it, and just waved it to lead the way.

There was a hint of disappointment on the goblin's face, but he didn't say any more, but took Mike to a huge counter.

This counter is really huge, and the tall counter is nearly two meters high, which makes the goblin teller sitting inside look a little high.

"Sir, do you need anything?"

An old goblin with golden glasses on the counter asked with a smile.

"I'm Mike Townley, and I'm going to go to my gold deposit in person." Mike remained expressionless, pointing to Benjamin and Franklin behind him, "These two are my secretaries, and they will I will come here to deposit and deposit Kim Galleon instead of me."

The old goblin looked at Benjamin and Franklin with narrowed eyes, which made Franklin and Benjamin very nervous.

Fortunately, the old goblin's gaze didn't stay on the two of them for too long. After looking at the three of them for a few times, he began to flip through a thick and amazing ledger while muttering Mike's name.

"Aha, I found it. Mr. Townley, the VIP of the secondary vault is right?" The old goblin saw Mike nodding, the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing the hideous fangs inside, "In view of the current status and possessions fortune, I highly recommend that you upgrade your vault to the next level!"

Mike heard the words, and a smile appeared on his face.

Gringotts' treasury is divided into four grades, one to three levels and the public treasury.

Among them, the public treasury, as the name suggests, is a treasury that provides storage services for ordinary customers, while the first to third levels are private treasuries with professional security.

The first-level vault not only has a large number of magic restrictions attached, but its location is close to the fire dragon guards, and the defense strength can be said to be seamless.

The defense of the secondary and tertiary vaults is much weaker. Like Mike's previous secondary vault, there are not many magic restrictions attached to it, and it is also quite a distance from the lair guarded by the dragon and the sphinx. distance.

At this time, the old goblin on the opposite side obviously recognized the identity of the boss of Micro Santo, so he wanted to let Mike upgrade the vault.

The purpose of Mike and others coming to Gringotts this time is to step on the spot. Originally, they were still worried about not being able to enter the scope of the first-level vault. Unexpectedly, someone brought a pillow when they fell asleep.

"That's the best way. To tell the truth, I'm a little worried about putting so much money in a mere secondary vault."

Hearing what Mike said, the smile on the face of the old goblin on the opposite side became even brighter.

I saw it snapped its fingers, and then the tall counter came down.

"Because the authentication system of the first-level vault is more complicated than that of the second-level vault, we need to collect your identity information, wand and token again." The old goblin said and turned his attention to Benjamin and Franklin behind Mike, "and Since you said before that you want your secretary to help you manage your belongings, your two secretaries also need to register wands and identification information, and only after registration can they enter the vault with your token."

Mike nodded, and handed out the wand and token according to the old goblin's request. Franklin and Benjamin also followed Mike's example and handed out the wand.

After taking the wand, the old fairy changed her previous attitude and became extremely serious.

It wasn't until the registration was completed and the thing was returned to everyone that a smile appeared on its face again.

"It's correct, Mr. Townley." The old goblin waved, "Now, let our staff take you to the vault."

After that, a strange-looking fairy walked out and bowed deeply to Mike and the others.

"Dear guests, please come with me."
