Chapter 7. Gringotts Invasion
After the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, the wizards immediately surrounded them, chattering away.
Because there were too many people talking and the words were too messy, those Aurors couldn't understand what the wizards were saying at all.
"Sonorus!"(Voice Loader)
As a last resort, Kingsley cast a spell on his throat with his wand.
"Oh! Please calm down, ladies and gentlemen, please take your time, one by one, you can trust us."
"And one by one, you guys, tell me what happened here!"
Dawlish yelled at the crowd.
"Professor McGonagall..."
Mr. Granger brought his daughter to Professor McGonagall's side.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Granger, but don't worry, these people are Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, and I'm sure they can sort this out." Professor McGonagall comforted.
"Excuse me, Who is an Auror?" asked Hermione Granger, the little girl next to Mr. Granger.
"The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are the policemen of the Muggles, Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall explained.
While the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were investigating in the Leaky Cauldron, Elijah's figure appeared in front of Gringotts in Diagon Alley instantly.
Gringotts is a tall white building located at the junction of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.
Gringotts is also known as the second safest place in the wizarding world of UK after Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so wizards are willing to deposit their gold and silver treasures in Gringotts vaults as safe.
Gringotts is run by a group of goblins, and goblins are the most greedy. They want to drain every Galleon from the wizards.
Elijah looked at Gringotts in front of him. There was a goblin guard standing at the door, who would bow to customers whenever they came.
Gringotts, Elijah has visited more than once. The legacy left to him by his family is mostly gold and family knowledge passed down from generations was kept in Gringotts. Although not much was left, it was enough for him to use it until he grows up.
"Dad, are we going to Gringotts to withdraw money now?"?
"Yes, we need to withdraw as part of the money you can buy for school supplies and the rest money for home use."
Walking towards Gringotts was a father and son, both with platinum-blond hair, a rarity among wizards.
In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, the only wizards with platinum-blond hair color were the Malfoy family among the pure-blood families. Obviously, this father and son belonged to the Malfoy family.
"Daddy, can I get a broomstick?"asked the little boy with platinum hair.
"No, first graders are not allowed to wear broomsticks, and remember Draco, don't spend money on things that don't make sense."
The middle-aged man with platinum hair color said in a stern voice.
"Hmph! Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, the Malfoy family really are son of whores!"
Elijah looked at the father and son and sneered in a load voice making passerby people looking at home in disbelief.
"Who are you and who gave you courage to say that?"
Lucius Malfoy scowled, scanning Elijah thinking him as another one of those 'jealous' wizards..
"Oh…courage, I'll show you."
Elijah didn't answer his question, but instead raised his wand.
Lucius Malfoy's complexion changed, and he hurriedly pulled Draco Malfoy behind him, and clenched the wand in his hand, full of vigilance.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A green killing light shot out from the wand in Elijah's hand, but it didn't go towards the Malfoys, this Killing curse went towards the goblin in front of Gringotts.
"Boom!"
The goblin fell under the death-defying curse, was sent flying, and fell to the ground, lifeless immediately.
"what!" "Killing Curse!" "Run it's a Dark Wizard!"
The wizards next to Gringotts screamed and panicked.
"Madman! That man is crazy."
Lucius Malfoy cursed, it was crazy for a wizard to use the Killing Curse in public, this is not a time of war.
"Fuck!! What's happening?"
Many wizards screamed loudly and tried their best to escape from the range of Gringotts, for fear of being attacked by the dark wizard.
Lucius Malfoy also took Draco taking advantage of the crowd's commotion and left the range of Gringotts. Draco Malfoy seemed to be petrified, no matter how Lucius Malfoy pulled him.
"Hahaha. Run! Run! You Fuckers!"
Elijah laughed like a madman and walked into Gringotts. At this time, the Goblins in Gringotts had already reacted and a dozen goblins guards blocked Elijah's way.
Facing these goblins, Elijah need not be merciless with them, with a violent blasting spell, the dozen or so goblins were instantly blown away.
"Confringo!"(explosion)
"Confringo!"(explosion)
Another two violent blasting curses blew up the gate of Gringotts, and the ruins directly blocked Gringotts.
"what! Gringotts is attacked?!"
"Are we seeing another war?!"
In the Gringotts hall, the wizards and goblins who were depositing and withdrawing money suddenly screamed and started running around.
"Sir, what are you trying to do?"
The goblin supervisor of Gringotts stopped in front with some goblins trying to rescue the situation.
"Haha, what do you think? Clearly I'm here to rob you greedy goblins."
Elijah said slowly, not paying attention to the goblins in front of him at all. If he was not sure enough, he would not come to rob Gringotts.
Although the goblins can also cast magic, they will definitely not be his opponents. The powerful magic power is his confidence.
The reason why Voldemort and Dumbledore are far stronger than other wizards is because the magic power in their bodies is much higher than other wizards. Dumbledore through his age and brilliance, and Voldemort through his rituals and dark arts.
The same blasting spell, cast by Harry Potter and Voldemort, is completely different.
"Stop him, and teach this fool a lesson, 'so no one have guts to take anything from Gringotts'"
The goblin supervisor roared angrily, that ugly face turned red, as if scalded by hot water.
A dozen goblins stepped forward immediately, ready to cast their magic to subdue Elijah.
The magic of goblins is not weak. You must know that wizards and goblins have fought several wars. Although they all failed, it cannot be denied that goblins are weak.
"Serpensortia"(snake summoning)
The magic wand in Elijah's hand exploded, and then a huge black snake sprang out and landed heavily on the marble floor. It raised its head high and stared at the fairies.
This black snake is huge, with a length of more than 20 meters and a width of three adults standing side by side. Its long snake letter is three to four meters long.
The Snake Spell is used by different wizards, and its power is also very different. For example, Draco Malfoy can only summon a black snake about two meters long when he uses this Spell.
But if Voldemort used this spell, the black snake he summoned could be the size of a house.
After all, the power of magic lies in the amount of magic in the wizard's body.
"Attack!"
Elijah gave the order, and the huge black snake opened its mouth wide, and immediately attacked the goblins.
The goblins also started to use magic to attack the black giant snake, but their magic hit the black snake's scales, but it didn't have much effect, instead it made the black snake even more mad.
"Stupefy!"(stunned)
"Petrificus Totalus!"(turning into stone)
Elijah also continued to cast magic on the side to subdue the goblins. He didn't intend to kill all the goblins.
"Boom!"
With a flick of the huge black snake's tail, more than a dozen goblins flew out, leaving the entire Gringotts hall in a mess.
While cleaning up the goblins, Elijah drew a black magic circle on the ruins at the gate of Gringotts. The function of this magic circle is to prevent the enemies from entering. This was a spell he learned from that ancient 'Egyptian' book.
In addition, it can also bounce back the spells cast by the enemy. The only disadvantage is that this magic circle needs to consume a lot of vitality. But Elijah knew this was his last chance anyways.
*skreee*
Elijah dragged some unconscious goblins into the magic circle and..
"Finestra!"
A shattering curse was cast out released a burst of blue light, which caused a huge explosion and the goblins in circle were instantly blown to pieces, and the blood that fell on the black magic circle was immediately absorbed.
After absorbing the blood of the goblin, the black magic circle began to emit a faint light, which seemed to be able to suck the soul of a person into it.
"This should be enough to stop those Aurors."
Elijah said to himself, the reason why he set up this magic circle was to prevent the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic from entering and buy time for him to steal the treasury.
"Imperio!"
After setting up the magic circle, Elijah used the Imperius Curse to control the goblin supervisor.
"Take me to the vault where Dumbledore keeps his stuff."
Elijah instructed that the placement of the Philosopher's Stone is absolutely confidential. It is absolutely impossible for Dumbledore to let the goblin know that there is only one Philosopher's Stone in the entire wizarding world, and the Philosopher's Stone can make the elixir of life and unlimited gold.
If the goblins know about such a precious thing, those greedy goblins don't know what they will do.
Even if the Philosopher's Stone belongs to Dumbledore, if the interests are big enough, the goblins will take risks, even if they offend Dumbledore.
Under the control of the Imperius Curse, the goblin supervisor led Elijah out of the marble hall and into a door.
Inside the door is a narrow stone corridor, the stone corridor is a steep downhill, the goblin chief blew a whistle, and a small car rushed along the railway.
Elijah and the goblin supervisor climbed into the small car and started to set off. The goblins placed their vaults a few hundred meters above the ground, and the vaults of those pure-blood families were even at the bottom.
The car drove down for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped. The goblin supervisor took Elijah to a vault, the number of which was 713, and there was no keyhole.
"Open the vault!"
Elijah ordered that the goblin supervisor who was controlled by the Imperius Curse couldn't refuse at all, so he could only step forward and stretch out a long finger to tap lightly.
With the knocking sound of the goblin supervisor, the door of the vault disappeared. Elijah immediately stepped forward and saw that there was only a small bag inside the vault.
The small bag was wrapped in dirty paper, and no one who saw it would have thought that it contained the most precious Philosopher's Stone in the wizarding world.
Elijah opened the paper bag, and there was a bright red gemstone inside, and he felt the powerful magic power contained in the Philosopher's Stone.
Undoubtedly, this is a real Philosopher's Stone, and even Dumbledore would never have imagined that someone would actually rob Gringotts and succeed.
Although Dumbledore was scheming, he was not a god after all, and he couldn't calculate everything. He would not have expected that besides Voldemort, there would be other people who were also planning for the Philosopher's Stone.
"Finally got the Philosopher's Stone. Now the time for some fun."
Elijah put the Philosopher's Stone in his waist pouch.
"Hahaha! Now that Gringotts has already been breached, it's unreasonable not to rob the treasury of a few pure-blood families, I am already short on money. There might be some other good things."
Elijah taught of other important things in Gringotts and sneered to himself.
"Take me to the Lestrange Family vault."
Elijah ordered the goblin supervisor again.
"Yes, sir."
The goblin supervisor, who was controlled by the Imperius Curse, said respectfully, although inside he knew and was exploding with anger he cannot control his own body and then they boarded the small car and drove further underground.
Meanwhile, Outside Gringotts.
"Someone robbed Gringotts? This is really a big joke. You must know that Gringotts is the second safest place in the wizarding world after Hogwarts."
The Ministry of Magic Aurors who had been investigating at the Leaky Cauldron immediately came outside Gringotts after receiving the news.
