v2 Chapter 17： Gringotts' sky-high compensation

Scrimgeour came, and all the Aurors obeyed his orders and stood aside.

"Rufus, have you caught that **** Death Eater?" Fudge asked.

"No, he's fast and can fly, we can't catch him at all." Scrimgeour shook his head regretfully.

"Is it so bad?" Fudge frowned and turned around anxiously.

He caught a glimpse of Umbridge, who had slammed into the wall and passed out, and his anger rose again.

But Skjellin hurriedly dragged Fudge towards the corner and told him that William had repelled the Death Eaters.

After listening, Fudge was extremely shocked.

"Then what should we do?" Fudge was a little embarrassed.

If they attacked the Aurors, if they were ordinary people, they would definitely be imprisoned in Azkaban.

But the other party is the youngest recipient of the Merlin Medal, and he has just resisted the Death Eaters... If such a wizard is caught, he will definitely be criticized by public opinion.

And William is also Dumbledore's lover, and the two have a close relationship!

But Fudge soon gave up on it, and Skjelling told him that there was a circle of reporters outside Gringotts.

"These nasty guys should all be caught in Azkaban!"

Fudge had lost the time to pay attention to Umbridge. He was thinking about how to deal with reporters and the coming wave of public opinion.

Today is the award ceremony of the Merlin Medal. In the evening, the youngest recipient of the Medal was attacked, Gringotts was almost stolen, and the Dark Mark appeared... What kind of scandal is this?

Fudge only felt that his head was big. He had only been in office for more than a year. Why did he encounter so many things?

He is so difficult!

Fudge walked up and down the cave, thinking about what to do.

His first thought was to hide, but he couldn't hide it at all.

If there is no Dark Mark, simply say that Gringotts has been stolen, but there is no loss, and it will be over.

But now that the Dark Mark appeared, and one Death Eater was caught before, and two appeared in just a few months, people would doubt the abilities of the Ministry of Magic.

"Mr. Minister, I am leaving now with this child, he must rest." Nick Lemay walked over.

Fudge looked at the old man in the Givenchy shirt, and after a long look, he recognized it.

"Ah, Mr Nick Lemay, what are you? How come you are here, aren't you in Devon?"

"Well, I just happened to show up here, but I have to go with this child now."

"What, you and William know each other?" Fudge was taken aback.

"Yes, I passed a long letter during the summer vacation." Nick laughed.

"Oh, then...then let's go." Fudge stammered.

"Sir, I can't go now." William resisted his drowsiness and said, "I need an explanation."

"What?" Fudge became annoyed again: "You just attacked the officials of the Ministry of Magic, and I have not pursued it."

"It's not Umbridge...it's what Gringotts said." William said coldly.

"My family and I came to Gringotts to save money, but we were attacked. Where did those Gringotts guards go after I fought for so long?"

Fudge turned his head to stare at an old goblin behind him, and asked, "Yes, what about the guards at Gringotts? Our Ministry of Magic has not been alerted or caught the black-robed wizard. This is all your responsibility!"

Fudge seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and turned his face away and pushed the responsibility away.

The old goblin's eyes dodged, and he hesitated and refused to speak.

William sneered, he could probably understand a thing or two about the other party's mind.

He didn't immediately reinforce because he found that the black-robed wizard was very powerful. He didn't want to lose his power for no reason, and wanted William and that person to kill each other.

As for the Ministry of Magic... let alone inform them, if the Ministry of Magic comes, it will give them an excuse to investigate Gringotts.

Without the intervention of the Ministry of Magic, this incident could always be hidden from the past and continue to maintain the ancient reputation of Gringotts.

But they didn't expect to make such a big fuss. Before the wizard left, he hit the Dark Mark.

"We are willing to compensate." The old goblin bowed slightly.

William smiled.

This is what he wants.

Gringotts is sorry for them being first, and it is impossible for William to actually bleed Gringotts because of this matter. He is not a dark wizard and has no such power.

However, Gringotts had to be slaughtered once to ease the mood.

William pointed to the dead dragon.

"I want it!"

Fudge's eyelids twitched. He thought that William would need thousands of Galleons at most, but he didn't expect Merlin to speak so loudly.

"This is impossible!" The old goblin said angrily, "The fire dragon is the private property of Gringotts, and it cannot be given to anyone, even if it is already dead."

The whole body of a fire dragon is a treasure, which can be said to be sky-high. The most important thing is that it is very difficult to buy.

Gringotts has its own dragon farm in Africa, but they are reluctant to give away a complete fire dragon corpse as compensation.

"If I don't send it, I will tell the Daily Prophet about the whole thing." William dragged his voice, like Professor Snape.

"I think journalists will be very interested, and readers will want to know more about how Gringotts ignores the lives of customers, and how it guards itself against theft, allowing Death Eaters to enter and escape."

"You...!" The old goblin was trembling all over, and he pointed at William angrily.

William continued: "Of course, I don't want this fire dragon at all.

One-sixth of the dragon will be donated to the Ministry of Magic; one-sixth to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; one-sixth to Mr. Nick LeMay; The remaining third is donated to Ravenclaw House. "

Fudge's breathing was a little short. William didn't want any of it. He donated all of it. What a big deal!

The corpse of a fire dragon can be sold for at least several hundred thousand gold Galleons, and one-sixth is a large sum.

He can still make a lot of money secretly!

It's just that he didn't know that William didn't seem to want it at all, but what's the difference between donating to Hogwarts and Ravenclaw and using it for himself?

With Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick there, William could use the blood or nerves of the fire dragon for research at will.

This is William's cleverness. He swallowed the fire dragon whole, and no one would agree, but he was still very slippery when it came to flaunting the flag.

Sure enough... Fudge pondered for a moment, then said loudly: "This matter is settled like this, someone will bring the fire dragon back to the Ministry of Magic."

Dozens of Aurors rushed up, not giving the old goblin a chance to object.

He looked at these robbers angrily, but there was nothing he could do!

Fudge said, "Come on, we have to deal with those **** reporters."

After everyone left, William breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lemay, help me change my parents' memories."

"Okay, I will," the old man said.

Sleepiness came like a tide, and William finally fell asleep with Fox in his arms.
