Hogwarts: Breaking off the engagement at the beginning and marrying Hermione instead

Chapter 27

The rune horse was very fast.

It arrived at Diagon Alley in no time.

The carriage slowly landed and stopped at a place specially for carriages.

"Dolly. Stay here and watch the carriage. Don't let anyone else get close."

""Yes, sir."

Dolly replied respectfully to Mr. Foley.

""Dad, are those horses also Pegasus?"

Brown looked at the winged horses of various colors on both sides of his carriage with some curiosity.

Mr. Foley glanced in the direction Brown pointed:

"It's just a hybrid magical creature.

It has some Pegasus blood.

It's not very smart and is useless except for pulling carts.

Okay, let's go quickly. Let's go to Gringotts first. It's just in time for this month's dividend to arrive and I have to take some Galleons back."

The family walked and talked.

Soon they came to a towering white building.

The building was mottled and damaged, but this did not damage its majesty. Instead, it had a sense of history. They had arrived at Gringotts.

The first thing that caught their eyes was a bronze gate.

The gate was clean and beautiful.

It was like a kind and quiet old man.

Standing here quietly, witnessing the rise and fall of one wizard family after another.

On both sides of the gate stood two goblin guards wearing scarlet and gold-studded uniforms.

When the Braun family entered, they showed respect and bowed respectfully.

One of them even stretched out his shriveled and hairy hand to lead the way for the Braun family.

After walking for a while, the family, led by the goblins, came to a silver-white gate. The words engraved on the door warned people not to be greedy.

"Come in, stranger, but beware the consequences of greed.

To take without work will be punished most severely.

So if you try to take from our vault a portion of the wealth that was never yours, thief, you have been warned.

Beware that you will not find treasure, but evil.……"

"Just take a look, don't take it too seriously.

These things are just to fool those stupid wizards.

Those who believe them are the real fools."

Mr. Foley found that his son was observing the motto on the door.

So he said with some disdain.

It seems that he doesn't care about the warning on the door.

Although the goblin who led the way was a little dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything because the Foley family was a big customer of Gringotts. He could only stand aside and wait in silence.

But Brown nodded in agreement.

After all, didn't Harry in the original book successfully steal the Hufflepuff gold cup from Gringotts?

Harry didn't suffer any bad consequences, but became a hero who defeated Voldemort.

And... if we really talk about greed, the goblins in charge of Gringotts are the greediest.

They launched a rebellion for the Sword of Gryffindor and the gold Galleons, and more than once.

It can be seen that they are greedy for treasures.

He really couldn't understand why the Ministry of Magic would regard Gringotts as so important. The place was left to outsiders like fairies to manage.

If they were honest, it would be fine.

But they were not honest and made some small moves from time to time.

This was really puzzling for him.

After passing through the second silver door.

The view in front of him suddenly widened.

In front of him was a spacious marble hall.

A conical chandelier was hung in the center of the hall.

The whole hall was reflected in gold and splendor.

This hall was supported by huge Roman columns.

Not only was there no trace of rouge and powder in the luxurious hall, but it was more solemn and sacred.

About a hundred fairies sat behind the long counter and hastily recorded in the big account book.

Some used a scale to weigh the coins, and some used an eyepiece to detect gems.
