Gaunt family inheritance

"Are you rich?"

Professor McGonagall suddenly thought of a very crucial point. After all, although Luke's clothes are exquisite, it is obvious that they are not close-fitting. They should be the clothes left by his adults.

Luke nodded and said, "I have money, but I need to get it from Gringotts."

Then, he took out the coat of arms in his hand: "I have to use this, this is our family's treasury. , except for us, only the goblins of Gringotts know."

Professor McGonagall nodded, thinking that if the money hadn't been hidden from the other members of the Gaunt family, then there would probably be no more money left for future generations.

Whether it is the extravagance in the heyday of the family or the downfall period of the last some years, they will be full of desire for this money. As for the life and death of their own clan, who will care?

Professor McGonagall has come into contact with many pure-blood wizards, whether it is the so-called big family or those small families, some of their arrogance and viciousness are about to hang on their faces.

The numbers of these fallen pureblood wizards are enormous. Although it is undeniable that many people in pure blood are very friendly. Such as the Weasley family, or the Shaker family, and so on.

But among all these nobles, the child in front of him was the one that made Professor McGonagall feel that he had seen a nobleman the most.

"I don't know if there are people who hide like this in other families. '

This thought flashed into Professor McGonagall's mind. But she was quickly denied it.

There really are such excellent talents in the family then isn't it bad not to pull them out directly to stabilize their own power? The current situation of pure-blood families is not very good.

Voldemort's defeat has caused many pure-blood families to be excluded from the center of power. Some are even on the verge of collapse.

 What do you want to do when you hide people at this time?

After recovering, Professor McGonagall said to Luke, "Follow me, let's go to Gringotts first."

So Luke followed the footsteps of Professor McGonagall towards a tall white building.

Not too far away, they walked for a while before reaching the door. In front of the bronze gate, two goblin guards in scarlet and gold uniforms saluted and opened the gate for them.

 The attitude is quite respectful and Luke can see that it is because of Minerva who was with him.

Then came into sight another silver door with some text engraved on it. Luke glanced briefly and found that it was actually a warning from the goblins to those who wanted to steal.

Luke lacked interest in this. This kind of warning had no effect at all. Voldemort commanded Professor Quirrell to grab it and he nearly grabbed it, and later Harry and the others directly lifted the place upside down...

So these threats really have no deterrent effect. Professor McGonagall was very familiar with this place, so she went straight through the silver door without stopping, and came to the hall, and Luke quickly followed.

There were goblins counting money on both sides of the hall, and Luke didn't care and walked straight to the highest seat in the middle.

Where a goblin with thin hair and half-moon glasses was sitting, he saw Professor McGonagall and Luke from a distance.

This made him feel a little helpless, after all, he had just sent away a Hogwarts hunting ground guard, and now there is a full-fledged professor from Hogwarts. More importantly, he is very clear that students who can be guided by professor Mcgonagall himself are often not simple.

Therefore, there is a high probability that this person is not here to handle the service of exchanging British pounds for Galleons.

"Luke Gaunt will inherit the treasury left by Robert Gaunt." Luke stepped forward and calmly showed the goblin the coat of arms in his hand.

The fairy took a deep breath. He thought that this little guy would be someone noble but he didn't expect it to be so noble.

Damn, he's the heir to the Gaunt family in the dark. He thought that after so many years, the family members were dead.

Although he quickly returned to normal, his reaction was still hidden from Professor McGonagall.

Judging from this guy's reaction, I am afraid that the money in the vault should be an unimaginable amount.

"Please wait a moment."

He said, getting down from the high chair and entering a room.

Another goblin immediately stepped forward, saluted the two of them, and made a leading gesture. Luke and Professor McGonagall followed another goblin into a room. The room is refined and elegant, obviously not for the average guest.

After a while, the president returned to Luke with a small box.

  Open the box, and inside is a snake carved from a whole piece of dark green gemstone. The red gem is embedded in the socket of the left eye, but there is only one eye. 

"Please put a drop of blood in this snake's eyes."

The goblin's tone was flat and stern. Behind this is a big piece of interest. Although he has the verification of Hogwarts, he still has to take this step. First, the process is necessary, and second, he is really a little unwilling.

Those treasures, if no one comes to claim them in another 100 years, they can be classified as ownerless, and then become Gringott's property...

Luke immediately took out his own knife from his waist without any hesitation. , cut his fingers. A drop of blood spilled from the wound and landed on the right eye socket of the snake.

But the snake didn't seem to respond.

There was a gleam in the fairy's eyes. Professor McGonagall also frowned. Luke just stared at the snake calmly.

Sure enough, after about thirteen seconds, the blood condensed into a gem in the eye socket of the right eye, and the entire snake changed from dark green to emerald green. The mouth opened, and a key was revealed.

  Luke calmly took out the key, smiled, and said to the goblin, who had an obvious look of disappointment on his face: "Please lead the way, I want to get some money to buy something, you can see, I'm now even wearing a loose fitting dress, I don't have any proper clothes."

The goblin's professionalism was still very good, so he nodded and his expression returned to his natural state: "Please come with me."

Then he led the two of them towards the vault.

When I got on the pulley, I saw the huge cave and the vaults at the edge of the cave.

This is where almost the entire British wizarding world is deposited. Whoever ransacked this place, regardless of how much money he could get, would be besieged by almost all British wizards and it was almost inevitable.

The trolley didn't go far before it slid down towards another path.

In the end, there was no treasure house door, but a dark cave instead. Professor McGonagall was actually quite surprised.

 Luke had absolutely no intention of getting rid of her for such a thing. She didn't think Luke would ignore it. It was clear from the worried face he had now.

  Luke was also negligent. On his way here, he suddenly thought that today seems to be July 31st... If I remember correctly, today is also the time when Harry and the others came to Gringotts.

In other words, it was also the day Gringotts was attacked. Unfortunately, grandma beside him is a bear. So of course he didn't dare to leave her "thighs" and come here by himself.

Furthermore, he has considerable confidence in Professor McGonagall's conduct. Unless the legacy left by the Gaunt family is exaggerated, he believes that Professor McGonagall, who has seen the world, will never be moved!
