Chapter 47: Gringotts Cleaning
In the Slytherin common room, Draco cursed Weasley angrily and even Harry: "Damn Potter, he doesn't know what's good for him. We should let Goyle and Crabbe teach him a lesson."
"Okay, Draco, that's the end of it. I don't want my mother to write a warning letter to me," Martin advised his cousin Malfoy. As the eldest brother, he feared repercussions if he allowed his younger siblings to fight at school. Although he knew his father wouldn't care about it, his mother might.
Draco sneered. Today had really made him angry; he had long disliked that Weasley. "Ben, you were awesome today, truly worthy of being my cousin." They had fought together, and Draco felt that Ben wasn't that distant. However, his cousin still hit him very hard. Weasley was unrecognizable after the beating.
"You're welcome, it would have been merciful if I didn't use a wand," Ben replied. It was just a fight between children, not a duel between wizards, so Ben didn't feel like he had won.
Martin and the others were able to come back successfully because of Snape's support. As the head of Slytherin, Snape was strict but also very protective. Not to mention, the one being beaten was a Gryffindor student, and the sight of Harry, who looked so much like his old enemy, made Snape even happier.
On the other side, Harry and Ronald were in dire straits. They went to the school infirmary and managed to get their injuries treated. But when they returned to the common room, they were greeted with ridicule. After all, the little lions were full of malice towards the little snakes. Harry and Ronald were beaten up and humiliated.
When they returned to their room, neither Harry nor Ronald wanted to speak. Who could be in a good mood after being beaten? "Harry, Ronald, are you okay?" Neville asked them in a low voice as he got out of bed. "It's okay, you haven't fallen asleep yet, Neville." Neville's concern made Harry feel better, knowing he had friends who cared about him.
Turning his head to look at someone already covered with a quilt, pretending to be asleep, Harry felt tired, even though he had done nothing. He helped take the blame but didn't receive any gratitude in return. "Go to bed early. We have classes tomorrow," Harry said, and then he got into his bed and fell asleep with random thoughts.
The next day, the Black Castle welcomed the Hogwarts owls, and Cole received a letter from Snape. Looking at the letter, Cole learned about the fight between the children but didn't take it to heart. It was just child's play. Moreover, Martin and the others didn't suffer. As long as no magic was used, especially black magic, the punishment wouldn't be severe. Snape was the most protective person.
Cole understood his senior, who was cold-faced yet warm-hearted. He naturally had a source of information about the experiences of several children at Hogwarts and knew the ins and outs of this small conflict. What intrigued Cole the most was that it was not easy for Dumbledore to place someone from the Weasley family around Harry. Ronald, this kid, stirred up trouble everywhere, making it more difficult for Harry to get along with his classmates.
As far as he knew, the Weasley family weren't troublemakers, and Ronald's brothers were excellent. They did well in Gryffindor and were popular among the students. However, when it came to Ronald, it seemed this kid lacked brains. Cole wondered if Ronald was adopted.
Cole didn't want to think too much about it. He had bigger plans these days and people watching outside Gringotts. Looking at the master key he had acquired from the system, Cole nodded with satisfaction.
As expected of a system product, this key can open any door. The ring on his left hand suddenly became hot, and Cole knew that the opportunity had come. He stood up, walked to the fireplace, and a handful of Floo powder disappeared into the room. Diagonally outside Gringotts, Richie Black walked over just as Cole arrived.
"Master, the person you asked me to keep an eye on has just entered." Cole nodded; it was Quirrell who he asked Richie to watch. At this time, the great senior Tom is making his home on the back of people's heads. The reason why Cole had people monitor Professor Quirrell was because he knew that Voldemort wanted the Philosopher's Stone, so he would definitely break into Gringotts.
Don't get me wrong, Cole is not here to help senior Tom rob a bank. How could he do such a bad thing? He was just hanging around to gather some things useful to the Black family, such as gold galleons, magic potions, and so on. Magic stone? Who would be interested in garbage that you don't want to give to dogs? It can only survive and lose all body functions. Cole has many ways to live forever, but he is still very young and doesn't need this thing.
As for turning the magic stone into gold, he was not a Muggle, so what would he do with gold without magic? Build a toilet. Nodding to let Richie go back, Cole transformed into an unfamiliar face when he came to a deserted place. This is not a simple polyjuice potion or transformation. Cole directly asked someone to peel off the skin of a dark wizard. The one-time props made by the system will be gone after use. When the time comes, the person will not be found, and the Ministry of Magic will not be able to trace it.
He swaggered into Gringotts, told the goblin directly that he wanted to open a private vault, and took out a purse full of gold galleons. The goblins couldn't wait to be happy; they liked the wizard to save money. Riding the mine cart all the way down, before reaching the destination, an explosion suddenly sounded, almost derailing the mine cart. The goblin quickly stopped at a stone platform and said in a panic: "I'm sorry, sir, there is some trouble now, please wait a moment."
The goblin's green eyes stared into the darkness. It had been many years since anyone had dared to come to Gringotts to cause trouble. You must know that there was an adult red dragon deep in Gringotts. When he came to the edge of the stone platform, Cole looked down and saw that the bottom of the funnel-shaped vault turned into a large sea of fire, with a few green magic spells shining. Goblins continued to fly out from above, rushing into the battlefield below one by one.
Cole couldn't help but sigh. The goblins were obviously close relatives of the house elves, but their personalities were different. But the only thing they have in common is that they are both blessed with magical talents. The fighting power of goblins is not low, and countless high-level magics are at their fingertips. However, the way they cast spells is not appealing, and they all look like dwarfs. Seeing that the goblin next to him was also ready to help, Cole knew that his opportunity had come.
Cole thought silently in his mind as he didn't have the chuunibyou disease of casting spells and shouting. Even though the goblin had some magic resistance, he fell into a hopeless sleep under Cole's spell. Rubbing his hands together, Cole muttered excitedly. "The cleaning has begun."
