Chapter 46 Angry Dumbledore, analysis completed!
hold head high!
A deafening roar of a fire dragon sounded, and billowing dragon flames raged in the underground vault passage of Gringotts, sweeping in the goblins who survived the battle with Voldemort and turning them into ashes.
Then there were violent collisions again and again, a large amount of soil fell, and a ray of light shone into the underground vault.
When seeing that ray of light, magic power burst out again from the exhausted body of the Ukrainian Iron-Belly Fire Dragon.
It violently smashed the gap open, creating a huge hole, then spread its wings and flew out of the dark underground vault!
The Aurors who came from the Ministry of Magic to support watched this scene unwillingly.
Some young Aurors wanted to chase the dragon, but the more experienced Aurors stopped them immediately.
The Department for the Control of Magical Creatures is responsible for handling dragons, and their primary mission is to protect Gringotts' underground vault.
Most of the magic world’s wealth is stored here, including the wealth of many nobles and high-ranking officials.
If something happened in Gringotts, these Aurors who came to support would definitely be in trouble.
The fire dragon has wasted a lot of their time, so they have to hurry to the underground vault to see what's going on.
The Aurors kept praying in their hearts, hoping that the door of Gringotts' underground vault would be more reliable than the protective measures they boasted about, or at least not cause too much damage.
After a while, all the vaults were inspected.
A young Auror hurried over to the person in charge.
"Boss, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
The person in charge was stunned for a moment and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Good news, let's hear the good news first."
Then the young Auror spoke.
"Of the entire underground vault, only one vault was looted, and the others were intact."
Hearing this, the person in charge let out a long sigh and looked relieved.
In this way, it will not cause too much impact.
Even if someone wants to be held accountable, it is Gringotts that has to bear the responsibility and has nothing to do with the Aurors who came to support.
what?
If you still want to investigate why the Aurors were slow in providing support and why so much time was wasted along the way?
Then he would let the doubters know why Aurors are the violent agency in the wizarding world!
The person in charge calmly asked the young Auror.
"What about the bad news? Whose vault was looted?"
The next moment, the name uttered by the young Auror made the expression of the person in charge suddenly stiffen.
"What's the matter?"
"Dumbledore?!"
"#￥%@!"
A series of indistinct curses came out from the person in charge.
He couldn't figure out which idiot was so desperate that he dared to rob Dumbledore's vault? !
Then, after recovering from the news, the person in charge looked solemn.
Since it is Dumbledore's vault, it is definitely impossible to evade or perfunctorily deal with it.
"Send a message to Hogwarts and inform Dumbledore."
……
At the same time, in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore stood with his hands behind his back, pacing in the office with his eyes closed, thinking in his mind what kind of test he should give to his savior Harry Potter in the first year of school.
"The Mirror of Erised. This is necessary."
"If I had used this mirror to examine Tom Riddle earlier, I would have had a clearer understanding of his evil. I might even have seen through his desire for life and power in advance and prevented him from committing a series of horrific crimes later."
"It is also necessary to create some emotional ties for Harry Potter so that he can have friendships and family ties at Hogwarts."
"He happens to be James' child, so he should have inherited James' Quidditch talent. If he performs well in the flying class, McGonagall can apply for him to join the Quidditch team as an exception..."
"Well, of course, the Philosopher's Stone is also necessary. Such a powerful magical item can show whether Harry Potter has a morbid desire for money, power and immortality..."
As Dumbledore muttered to himself, the arrangements for Harry Potter's first year gradually became clear.
However, in the headmaster's office, a portrait of the headmaster couldn't help but ask Dumbledore.
"Dumbledore, if you think someone is coveting your underground vault, why did you only move the Philosopher's Stone and not move other things out?"
"In your underground vault, besides your personal collection, there are also some resources from Hogwarts that you will keep for safekeeping."
"If Gringotts is really robbed and the thief steals these, it will be a troublesome matter."
Dumbledore smiled slightly at this.
After so many years, he has gained an incomparable insight into human nature.
If anyone coveted the Philosopher's Stone, it was Voldemort.
And Voldemort must not be interested in anything other than the Philosopher's Stone.
He even felt that with his current status and fame, it would be a loss of face if he were to commit the same theft as he did in the past.
Because of this, Voldemort would never touch anything other than the Philosopher's Stone.
So why bother moving them out?
It's quite troublesome to move around.
Dumbledore gave a confident reply to the inquiry about the portrait of the headmaster in his office.
"Don't worry, everything is under my control..."
At this moment, an owl fluttered to the window of the principal's office and dropped an urgent notice from the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.
Dumbledore blinked.
"It looks like a report from the Ministry of Magic has arrived. Let me guess. It should be telling me that Gringotts was broken into and my vault was opened, but nothing was lost inside."
Then Dumbledore opened the envelope and saw a thick stack of papers inside.
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "It seems that the Ministry of Magic is very serious and responsible this time. This must have explained to me the whole process of the thief's crime."
Then he opened the letter.
But when the first line of words came into view, Dumbledore's expression changed and the smile on his face froze on the spot.
"It is with great sadness that we inform you, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, that due to the poor guarding of the goblins at Gringotts, your underground vault numbered 713 has been looted."
"Remaining items: None."
"The list of items that have been confirmed to be stolen and the list to be confirmed are as follows, please check..."
Dumbledore rubbed his eyes vigorously, suspecting that his eyesight was blurry.
But when he saw the long list of thefts again, Dumbledore couldn't help but stagger.
"Gone?"
"All gone?"
"Is there really not a single hair left?!"
Dumbledore's expression was extremely interesting, even showing a rare bit of gnashing of teeth.
"Tom Riddle..."
“Shameless, insidious, greedy!!!”
The veins on Dumbledore's hand that was holding the Elder Wand bulged, and a cold look filled his eyes.
He had originally planned to avoid taking any action during Harry Potter's first year, and to have the professors arrange as many test levels as possible for Harry Potter.
But now, he has changed his mind.
"Tom, after all these years, you've angered me again."
……
At the same time, the shocking news of the theft at Gringotts was also reported in the Daily Prophet as soon as possible.
The news that dozens of goblins died in the invasion of Gringotts and Dumbledore's vault was looted made the front page headlines, even with a photo of the empty underground vault No. 713.
A thin, pale hand slammed down the newly purchased Daily Prophet.
Quirrell's face showed fear.
"Master, Master, please calm down!"
But Voldemort's angry roar could not be suppressed at all, and it echoed in Quirrell's soul.
"slander!"
"This is a shameful slander!"
"I admit that I killed dozens of goblins, but when did I rob Dumbledore's vault?"
"I even took a picture of the vault being empty? Bullshit! When I left, the vault was still full of stuff!"
Quirrell said cautiously.
"Master, could it be that someone followed us and robbed the vault while we were away, and made us take the blame?"
This speculation caused Voldemort to sneer.
"You idiot, isn't this obvious enough?"
"Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts. According to convention, a portion of Hogwarts' resources can be kept by the headmaster, as long as they can be taken out when the board of directors reconciles the accounts."
"Obviously, that old bee Dumbledore is taking advantage of our break-in into Gringotts to settle the score here!"
"What a thief crying thief, what a thief lining his own pockets..."
"Dumbledore, over the past decade, you have become more and more shameless!"
"And this magical world, don't you have the ability to think independently? You are a bunch of idiots!"
There was an obvious sense of gnashing of teeth in Voldemort's voice.
"I can't stand it anymore. When I return, I will cleanse the entire wizarding world of those who have no ability to think, those who believe everything they hear, especially the group of stupid and evil reporters from the Daily Prophet..."
"Clean, clean, clean thoroughly!"
"And Dumbledore, wait, old bee, I will completely expose your hypocritical mask!"
……
Just when Dumbledore and Voldemort were feeling extremely disappointed and angry with each other, Charles, the culprit who looted the vault, was sipping dragon blood in big gulps.
The scorching dragon's lair poured into the abdomen from the throat, but disappeared without a trace in an instant, turning into deep blue material for analyzing dragon magic.
A lot of reminders sounded in Charles' mind.
"Dragon magic analysis progress 10%..."
"Dragon magic analysis progress 30%..."
"..."
Finally, there was a mechanical prompt from Deep Blue.
"Analysis of dragon magic is complete."
A dragon roar like thunder also exploded in Charles' mind.
The magic Animagus, which is known as an impossible miracle in the field of transfiguration, has been completely completed at this moment!
Charles suddenly opened his eyes.
Golden, dazzling vertical pupils appeared in his eyes, exuding a terrifying dragon power!
