Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"The goblins must be crazy, right?" Mrs. Weasley asked in shock.

Even the others put down the cake in their hands and looked at Lupin in shock, as if waiting for his next words.

Everyone seemed to be listening to some kind of strange, unbelievable story.

"Yes, they are really crazy." Lupin picked up the drink that was on the table and poured it all into his mouth.

"Accurately speaking, those fairies were very... polite at first..." Lupin didn't know how to describe it, "His gold coins were stolen. They were of course very angry when they left, but maybe because of the strange power that Tiera showed at the Cornelius Fudge Magic Ceremony a few days ago, they were a little bit afraid, so at first they dispatched five little goblins. The negotiating team composed of Lin and three wizards hopes to let Tiera let go of the gold through negotiation."

"Of course, the results are not ideal..." Lupin said, "Accurately speaking, the results are very poor."

"Did Tiera refuse to return the gold?" Hermione asked nervously.

"No." Lupin glanced at Hermione, shook his head slightly and said, "He agreed to return the gold..."

"What? He...wait, he agreed to return the gold coins?" Hermione said in confusion, and then asked again strangely, "He agreed to return the gold coins!?"

"Then why did he go to all the trouble to move so much gold to the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione asked.

"He agreed to return the gold coins, but there is also a condition." Lupin sighed and said, "But the condition is that Gringotts should be incorporated into the British Magic Association, become a banking institution under the British Magic Association's Ministry of Finance, and be subject to British magic. Direct leadership of the federation."

"What?" Hermione almost screamed.

The others had the same expression as Hermione.

"What the **** is Tierra thinking?" Mrs. Weasley said in disbelief. "How dare he make such a request?"

"The reason given by Tierra is that... Gringotts is a foreign institution, and in the past few turmoils caused by Voldemort, Gringotts has shown its obvious incompetence in defense, and its commanding The worrisome swaying attitude has been discussed at the internal high-level meeting of the British Magic Federation, and it has been determined that Gringotts is a huge hidden danger to the safety of people's lives and property in the British magical world, so..." Lupin took a deep breath, then Continuing, "Therefore, after the joint deliberation and decision of the internal high-level meeting of the British Magic Federation, Gringotts was ordered to rectify within a time limit and merged into the banking department under the Ministry of Finance of the British Magic Federation."

"Did the goblins at Gringotts agree?" Ron asked bluntly as if he was listening to a story.

"Of course not!" said Hermione.

"Gringotts really didn't say yes," Lupin said, "and offered...and asked Tierra to return the gold as soon as possible, and then they would withdraw directly from the British Ministry of Magic."

"In the words of the headed goblin, Greg... 'Since you don't trust us, then we quit the UK, and you don't have to worry about our mutiny'," Lupin said.

"Did Tiera agree?"

"Yes," said Lupin, "and readily agreed to the request of the fairies at Gringotts to return the gold coins."

"Yes?" Harry asked in confusion, "Then why is there still a war?"

"Because Tierra asked Gringotts to submit income statements," Lupin said.

"Revenue details?" Harry asked. "Why do you need revenue details? Is it to delay time?"

"No, no, I'm not procrastinating!" Hermione shouted suddenly, standing up excitedly, "I know what Tierra is thinking!"

"The newly promulgated "Economic Law" by the Magic Federation clearly states that the Magic Federation has the right to confiscate the illegal gains of any individual, organization, or institution." Hermione explained excitedly.

"That is to say..." Harry also responded.

"That is to say, Tierra asked them to provide income details because they were sure that their income could not be 100% legal." Hermione continued to explain.

"Even I bet the goblins don't know exactly how much gold is in their hoard," Ron interjected.

"No, Ron, it doesn't matter how much gold is in the treasury." Hermione said, "Now the pair of gold is in Tiera's hands. Tiera is willing to cut off hundreds of millions of Galleons casually."

"A few, a few, a few hundred million!?" Ron said in a stunned manner. For Ron, who has always been bad at math, this number is nothing short of an astronomical number. "My God, how much is that?"

"For us, it's astronomical, but for Gringotts, it's probably the equivalent of a small lake from the sea. It's not that you haven't read last week's newspaper." Hermione said, " It seems like it was last Tuesday or last Monday, and on the cover of the newspaper is all the gold in the Gringotts vault that Tierra photographed—"

"There is an endless ocean of gold that can rip through waves. It is estimated that there are hundreds of millions and hundreds of millions!"

"Yes," said Lupin.

"So Gringotts submitted?" Ron asked. "That income statement."

"How is it possible," Lupin said. "Even what you can understand, how can the goblins in Gringotts who want money and not life can't understand."

"They know very well that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Tiera asked them to provide income details, that is, they are determined to pay a huge amount of gold Galleons directly." Lupin said, "This is Gringotts. The goblins never allowed it, they couldn't give up even a single gold coin, so they all rushed back to Gringotts on the night the negotiations broke down."

"And then what?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Then... alas..." Lupin sighed helplessly before continuing, "Then the goblins of Gringotts from all over the world united with the American Federation of Magic, the French Ministry of Magic, German Ministry of Magic, Austrian Ministry of Magic, Hungarian Ministry of Magic, Swiss Ministry of Magic, Brazilian Ministry of Magic, East Asian Co-Prosperity Society, Spanish Ministry of Magic, Indian Ministry of Magic, Egyptian Ministry of Magic, Icelandic Ministry of Magic, Danish Ministry of Magic, Australian Ministry of Magic, New Zealand A total of 50 countries and regions, including the Ministry of Magic, have formed the United Magical Army and issued a war notice to the British Magic Federation, requesting the British Magic Federation to return the gold coins placed in the deepest part of Gringotts."

"According to the information...the United Magical Army is now gathering towards the Strait of Dover in France...I am afraid it will only take a week to gather, they claim, if within a week the British Magical Federation does not Return the Gringotts gold coins and they'll go to war in no time."
