Chapter 333： National sensation

Today is the hottest day since summer. The lush green grass on Privum Road has been tanned, and the square houses are baked by the hot sun, like big ovens.

On such days, going out is obviously not a good idea.

The residents of Privet Road are now hiding in their houses, opening the windows wide, hoping to blow in a cool breeze that does not exist.

However, the owner of one house did not do this. On the contrary, he even locked all the doors and windows in the house.

"I think I have to put on a blanket, it's a bit too cold."

In this house with locked doors and windows, Harry reached out for the blanket on the sofa as he spoke.

"Is it cold?" Black walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, reached out and felt the temperature in the house lowered by freezing, and said, "Oh, it's a bit cold! Wait, I'll adjust the temperature again."

With that said, Blake quickly took out his magic wand and waved it. The temperature in the house finally rose to a normal level.

Harry took the blanket, his face filled with a happy smile.

This house was specially bought by Blake after he was inspired by Mike, so that he could stay with Harry and live with him.

Of course, Harry had to go back to his uncle's house to sleep every night because of the blood curse, but he could stay in this house every day and play with Black all day.

In the beginning, Uncle Vernon's family could not accept Harry's lifestyle, and even wanted to ban Harry.

But when Black visited Uncle Vernon's family once, they accepted it.

This is a little strange, because Uncle Vernon was a little too scared after Black's visit.

Harry guessed that Black must have used some scary method, but it didn't matter. The most important thing now is that he can finally get rid of that terrible home and have a good summer vacation with the person who loves him.

Thinking about this, Harry's smile became even brighter.

"Harry, I just made some gingerbread cookies. Eat some. The temperature was a bit low just now, so don't catch a cold."

Black walked out with a baking tray, and Harry quickly thanked him, stood up and took the baking tray.

At this moment, the window of the room was knocked suddenly, and the two of them heard about their reputation, and saw the owl carrying a large bag pecking at the window.

"It must be the newspaper I ordered." Blake took off his anti-scalding gloves, opened the window and let the owl in. "Oh, poor little guy, I have to deliver the newspaper on such a hot day. Harry, give it quickly. Get some water, it looks thirsty."

"I see, Sirius."

Harry rushed into the kitchen, took some cold water with a plate, and returned to the living room.

However, when he returned to the living room, he found Blake staring at the newspaper in his hand dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?"

Harry frowned and asked, but Black didn't say anything, and passed the newspaper directly to Harry.

Putting down the plate, Mike picked up the newspaper and read it, only to meet and write:

"Shock! Gringotts suffered a terrorist attack and the prisoner is suspected to be a Death Eater! 》

It is reported that on the afternoon of August 4, Gringotts, located in the center of Diagon Alley, suffered the worst terrorist attack it has encountered since its establishment!

That afternoon, eight terrorists dressed in disguise infiltrated the Gringotts, released the fire dragon guards in the underground vaults, and used the fire curse in the underground vaults in an attempt to destroy the entire Gringotts.

Fortunately, even if the Aurors arrived, they prevented the eight terrorists from making further moves.

Unfortunately, the sabotage of these eight terrorists still caused serious consequences. According to preliminary statistics, a total of 30 Aurors and 53 Gringotts staff were killed in this attack. Eighty Aurors and staff were injured in varying degrees.

In addition, the underground vaults of Gringotts have also been severely damaged, and the direct economic loss is expected to be as high as 10W Jinjialong!

The way these eight terrorists sneak into Gringotts is not yet known, but according to a goblin’s testimony, the successful infiltration of these terrorists should be related to a dark wizard named Igor Karkaroff. .

And this Igor Karkaroff was a Death Eater before. It is hard not to recall Dumbledore’s recent speech at Hogwarts: Voldemort is back!

[Picture] (Dumbledore is speaking in the auditorium.)

However, Mr. Fudge, the Minister of Magic, denied this. He firmly believed that Dumbledore was nonsense. This Gringotts robbery was just a normal robbery, and the main responsibility should be attributed to Gringotts. lack of regulation.

At present, the eight terrorists have not been arrested and brought to justice. The Ministry of Magic urges the public to report to the Auror office if they encounter the following people. After verification, the Ministry of Magic will reward the whistleblower.

Warning again, the following people are extremely dangerous, please do not touch them in private!

Harry's hands were shaking, and the news in the newspaper was amazing!

"This must have been done by Voldemort!"

Harry screamed, startling the owl who was drinking on the coffee table.

"Calm down, Harry," Black said, taking off his apron. "Although Voldemort and the Death Eaters are very suspicious, this matter is still a bit weird."

"Who else can it be except him!"

"Um, don't do that, Harry. Take a good look at the wanted portraits. Do you think the Death Eaters will dress up like that to grab Gringotts?"

Harry glanced intently, and the expression on his face instantly froze.

I saw eight wanted portraits posted at the end of the report. Among them, the portrait of Karkarov was the most normal, while the portraits of the remaining seven were more exotic.

Especially the one at the end, wearing a short tank top and hot pants, with heavy makeup and hair dyed white.

Judging from his dress, this should be a woman, but the towering piece of his body shows the truth of his male body.

Harry hurriedly moved his eyes away, which were really spicy.

"This seems to be a character in a comic."

Harry frowned.

"What is a comic?"

"Emmm, you can understand it as drawn."

"Is it Muggle stuff?"

"Yes."

"Then it's even less likely that Voldemort and Death Eaters did this thing." Black frowned and said, "Those pure-blooded guys won't pretend to be Muggle figures!"

The living room fell silent for a while, and both Blake and Harry were looking down in thought.

After a while, Black suddenly raised his head and said to Harry:

"Harry, I think I have to be away for a while, I must go to Dumbledore!"

Harry nodded as he should, and did not pester Black to say that he wanted to go together. He knew that these things were not something he could mix with.

Also, it was too hot outside, and he really didn't want to go out.

Black used the Apparition to move away, and when he left, the door to the room suddenly knocked.

Harry moved cautiously to the door, and through the cat's eyes, he saw the people coming outside the door.

It was Dali who was sweating profusely!

...

At the same time, in the secret area of ​​the Freemasonry, Mike, Benjamin and others were reading a newspaper alone, and there were piles of other newspapers on the table in front of them.

"Benjamin! They took you too well!"

The Weasley brothers laughed, pointed to the copy of the wanted portrait of Jemin in the newspaper and said,

"Yes! I bet the person who painted this painting is definitely an artist! Look at this stubble painting, tusk, Benjamin, didn't you shave that day?"

Everyone in the room suddenly laughed when they heard the words, especially Zhou Hong, who was already on the ground with a smile.

As the object of ridicule, Benjamin was daring to be angry and afraid to speak.

The two Weasley brothers have mocked him in all aspects these days. It is not that he has resisted, but the Freemason does not allow armed struggle, so he can only fight back with words.

However, how could he be able to beat the Weasley brothers?

So, after many times of autism, he has finally learned to be smart now.

Just pretend not to hear, Brother Weasley will soon stop.

Sure enough, seeing that Benjamin didn't respond, the Weasley brothers quickly changed the subject and began to discuss other people's portraits.

Mike in the corner looked at the gangsters in a gloomy mood.

Regarding their actions, the Ministry of Magic officially gave a very domineering name: The Gringotts Robbery.

The report on the Gringotts robbery in the past two days can be said to have swept the entire country, and even caused a panic in Europe.

Nowadays, almost all newspapers and media in the market are frantically discussing this matter, and the focus of the discussion is also very clear, that is, the return of Voldemort and Gringotts is no longer safe.

Even the most popular magic radio station in Europe, Wizards Wireless Network (usually abbreviated to WWN), also made a special talk show. I invited Fudge, Minister of Magic of the country, and Scrimgeour, director of the Auror Office, to come. Gringotts robbery' to explain.

In the show, Fudge and Scrimgeour, in order to prevent the masses from linking this incident to Voldemort, can be said to tell the complete ins and outs of this incident, including the weird appearances of the robbers, which belong to some hemp. The intelligence of Melon Comics was also narrated. It stands to reason that such an explanation should dispel the masses' worries about the return of Voldemort, but Fudge and Scrimgeour are still too young.

In the country, it is correct to scold the Ministry of Magic.

This move by Fudge and Scrimgeour did not dispel the panic among the masses. On the contrary, because of the delay in catching any robbers, the masses' hatred of the Ministry of Magic rose to an unprecedented height.

Some people even gathered together and ran to the lobby of the Ministry of Magic to protest Fudge's various policies and forced Fudge to step down.

Of course this kind of protest was useless, and the hitters and Aurors who heard the news quickly arrested them all.

But this incident sounded the alarm for Fudge. In order to make his position more stable and to divert the attention of the masses, he began to bring other rhythms.

Large-scale corporate antitrust bill.

Fudge’s inspiration for propagating this bill came from Gringotts. After certain large companies form a monopoly in a certain industry, the power of ordinary consumers cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, a strict bill is now designated to avoid The emergence of this monopoly.

For those companies that have formed monopolies like Gringotts, the Ministry of Magic will adopt strict supervision to ensure the interests of consumers.

Once the bill was introduced, it won praise from the general public because they really felt the benefits.

The most classic example is that the minecart track of Gringotts finally disappeared. Now to withdraw money from the underground vault, you only need to take the magic elevator.

The hatred has been well transferred. In order to obtain more benefits, the masses gradually began to turn their blood-red eyes to those large-scale enterprises and families.

Mike's Los Santo Magic Group was the first to bear the brunt and was greatly affected.

There is no other way. The Los Santos Group’s industries are almost all emerging industries, and there are basically no competitors within the industry, which perfectly fits the Ministry of Magic's definition of a monopoly enterprise.

As a result, the so-called supervision was delegated to the various branches of the Los Santos Group.

Through the attitude of these supervisors, Mike also summed up a conclusion.

That is Fudge is deliberately targeting himself.

Compared with the supervisors in other companies, the supervisors assigned to Los Santos Group are more difficult to deal with. They seem to have been specially sent to trouble with Mike. It's no big deal, they have to point fingers.

With their efforts, Los Santos Group's financial report this month will be very ugly.

"Oh, business is getting harder and harder."

Sighing, Mike was about to get up to find Penello to express his recent pressure, but at this moment, the house elf Shuke suddenly appeared in front of Mike. UU Reading www.uukanshu.cOM

"Master," Shuke bowed on one knee, "Mr. Dumbledore and others visited your villa in Godric Valley."

"Ok?"

Mike was stunned when he heard that Dumbledore would come to visit him, which he never expected.

‘Could it be that the Gringotts robbery was revealed? ’

Mike thought so, but on the surface he was calm and calm, and said:

"Are they still there?"

"Yes, Master. They are still waiting outside the door because there is no order from you."

"I see, let's meet them together."

After all, Mike put his hand on Shuk's raised hand.

Next, with a sharp snap of his fingers, Mike and Shuk disappeared into the secret territory of the Freemasonry. ()
